A coach cannot be a effective one if he is already having a lot of things on his plate. Like if you are a career coach, you can guide the candidates to the right professional options if you yourself have no idea if working as a career coach is helping you achieve the goals in your life. You won’t be confident when a candidate asks you questions about your life as a career coach if you are doing the job just to earn money or make a living.
In order to be a successful coach, you really need to have confidence, clarity and immense patience, and most importantly, trust in your abilities. Being a coach, you will be exposed to different types of people in your life who will be cooperative, admiring your work and there will be others who will just think of you as a fraud who knows nothing about what you are talking about. You need to be really strong when you encounter such people in your life and never be afraid to say no to such people for coaching or empowering them in their fields.

You need to trust your journey as a coach and develop the skills of patience and persistence to achieve success and acclaim in life. You can even upskill yourself on regular basis by watching how other coaches work and get some certifications done in coaching in various matters like relationship counseling, psychotherapy, etc. They will help you get a holistic view of an individual who comes to you only for a specific skill and you will be able to provide better insights in dealing with the matters.
