FROM THE ARTICLE:

For anyone interested in white-collar work, consider one
of the fastest growing career paths: the "professional
coach."

No, not the sports kind (who easily make six- and often
seven-figure incomes), but those business and life
coaches who try to provide a confidence lift to struggling
entrepreneurs and aspiring novelists.

About 20% of the 10,000 registered coaches earn six-
figure incomes, according to estimates from industry
veterans. No special degree or training is required. And
while some provide specific expertise, such as those
hired by large companies to train a sales staff, others
rake in money from those looking for little more than a
cheerleader as they open a business or try their hand
at writing a book. And along with the growth of coaching
come derivative businesses that cater to them.

"Coaching is exploding," says Dan Janel, president of
Great Teleseminars, a business that caters to tech- savvy
coaches by handling the production work needed to
perform remote seminars via the TV screen. Janel said
his business was earning six figures within 13 months,
thanks to the plethora of coaches popping up.
