When the person you always knew was going to become a life coach achieves their final form
MLMs are a gateway drug to life coaching

WTF is life coaching? Have a facebook acquaintance who did some class and calls herself one, after being a yoga instructor. Like--why would you take advice from a person of middling success? Is it just another MLM where people calling themselves life coaches teach other people to be life coaches so they can teach more life coaches?
Eh .. I think MLMs are much worse than life coaches. At least life coaches do actually (usually) want to help people. They just aren't therapists.
People who do MLMs are just greedy, stupid, or both.
I agree life coach is generally a dumb profession, but it is an actual, authentic profession unlike MLM.
Probably it's more comparable to chiropractor vs physical therapy. But chiropractor can actually physically hurt you, so to me that's worse than a life coach potentially giving bad advice.

This accounts for a lot of it - the rest is mostly just getting hired by people who are too broke to afford someone actually qualified, and drastically overstating your success up until that point (E.G. Say you were an Entrepreneur when you really just lost money on an MLM)
Yo dawg I heard you like life coaches so we gave your life coach's life coach a life coach.
the word coach is meaningless to me after tying that. It also looks too much like roach
