“I Want to Become Rich and Make People Happy”: The Harsh Truth Every New Coach Must Hear

Learning is the new procrastinaiton.

“I Want to Become Rich and Make People Happy” if these are your word change them immediately.

Yesterday, a former assistant professor said something to me on a Zoom call that millions silently feel but never admit:

“I want to become rich and make people happy.”

He said this with a ₹35 lakh housing loan, ₹50–60K monthly expenses, and just 8 months of savings left.

According to him he is a “happiness coach”

Every Sunday, he conducts free classes on health, wealth, relationships, and mindset.

No fees. No niche. No income. Just more and more learning.

For the past few months he has been doing this in expectation of making money.

The questions he asked me were the exact same questions I hear from thousands of professionals trying to enter the digital space:

  • “Is it okay if I coach on everything?”
  • “What knowledge should I acquire to be a coach?”
  • “Will anyone pay me if I ask?”

Let me give you the truth most people don’t want to hear.

You Don’t Lack Knowledge. You Lack Clarity.

Whole life you have been learning and learning only. After working for many years you already posses some domain knowledge.

I understand when it comes to digital media – you might be novice but you are not novice in your game.

Most new coaches think the reason they aren’t earning is because they don’t have enough certificates.

They are wrong.

People don’t pay for certificates.

Look at someone teaching physics, chemistry or matematics to high school students – Is he / she a Phd?

Many of them are not – but they are expert in their subject.

Some of them even state their story that when they first started they were even unable to hold the book.

Today they teach without book.

People pay for clarity, confidence, and a specific outcome.

You don’t need more courses.

You need one direction and consistent execution.

Why Most Professionals Stay Stuck in “Learning Mode”

Learning is the new procrastination

There are three silent traps:

1. Under-decided.

You want to teach everything—health, mindset, wealth, communication, relationships.

But generalists don’t get paid. Specialists do.

Choose one and move ahead…

2. Under-executed.

You take class after class… but your bank account stays the same because learning without implementation is procrastination disguised as progress.

3. Under-charged.

You take free sessions hoping “one day money will come.”

But free attracts free. Clarity attracts clients.

When you deliver free people do not value.

Ask and you shall receiveth.

The 3-Step Framework

I Gave Him a 3 step framework that might help you also.

You don’t need 10 years of learning. You need the next 10 days of action.

Pick ONE subject you will own.

Like you once owned Chemistry, or Coding, or Communication, or HR.

You can’t be a “happiness coach” when your finances are on fire.

Pick one skill. Own it. Teach it.

Turn “I want to be rich” into numbers + dates.

Rich is not a goal.

This is a goal:

  • Debt-free by: 31 March 2026
  • ₹2L/month by: October 2026

When you convert desire into digits, the brain stops dreaming and starts planning.

Earn your FIRST ₹5,000 this week.

Not next year. Not after another course.

This week.

Use the skills you already have:

  • Help someone build a resume
  • Edit their LinkedIn profile
  • Create a small guide
  • Offer a 60-minute consulting
  • Teach one specific skill on WhatsApp
  • Create a micro-product
  • Run a paid workshop for ₹99 or ₹199

Most people are not underqualified. They are under-decided and under-executed.

The first ₹5,000 you earn digitally will change your belief system forever.

If You Are “Learning but Not Earning”

The truth is simple:

You don’t need to teach the entire universe. You don’t need 10 degrees. You don’t need to become perfect.

You need:

  • One niche
  • One offer
  • One income plan
  • One weekly revenue goal

And consistency.

The digital world rewards clarity + focus + action.
