The Harsh Truth About Coaching, Courses, and the Creator Economy
Why Everyone Wants Freedom
In today’s world, every job comes with pressure.
Whether it’s a ₹50,000 job, a ₹1 lakh job, or a ₹1.5 lakh job, no job is stress-free.
I often say there are now two jobs inside one:
- The job you’re hired to do.
- The job of protecting your job.
Because of this, people start looking outside their jobs.
They join coaching programs, courses, and creators, hoping for time freedom, money freedom, and location freedom.
But what really happens?

The Illusion of “Beer Commercials”
Many creators sell dreams like glossy “beer commercials.”
If you haven’t seen it, I recommend watching Frank Kern’s Core Influence (a 2-hour video).
It explains how “core influence” is created and why we get sold big promises.
These commercials convince you that the moment you join a program, your life will change.
But the missing link is always the same: connection and support.
Low-Ticket vs High-Ticket Courses
I learned from Indian mentors like Pradeep Goyal.
I also learned from Siddharth Rajsekar.
Additionally, I gained insights from international creators like Dan Koe and Justin Welsh.
Low-ticket courses (under $100) are everywhere. The creator shows you, “I made this much from my course.”
They may have sold to 30,000+ people. But when you buy, you’re left learning on your own. No personal connect. No one to answer your doubts. If you want that, you have to buy into their inner circle.
High-ticket programs ($1000+) are also booming. But here too, one thing is missing — real hand-holding.
The Coaching Factory Problem
Today’s coaching space has become a factory of coaches.
Creators are making money by producing coaches, but the aspiring coaches who join face struggles no one talks about.
Most of them are working professionals who want:
- To replace their job income.
- To generate a side hustle or passive income.
But reality hits hard. Many people join a course after FOMO, collect program after program, and still remain stuck.
It becomes course after course, date after date, with no real results.
Why You’re Still Struggling
- Monday to Friday, your boss gives you structure.
- On weekends, you’re on your own — and without structure, output is zero.
- You buy more courses, but growth doesn’t happen.
It’s not your fault. The system is designed this way.
Creators get richer while students get stuck. And remember this: nothing is truly free.
Even free webinars or videos are not free — they are marketing.
The Kitchen Income Rule
Before you think of leaving your job, I always ask:
- Do you have 6 months of funds?
- Do you have 1 year of funds?
Because if your kitchen income (your essential monthly expenses, say ₹50,000) is safe, then everything else is safe.
Until then, stay in your job, build something on the side, and don’t make emotional decisions.
My Journey and Lessons
- I started with affiliate marketing under mentors like Pradeep Goyal.
- Later, I learned from Siddharth Rajsekar and joined bigger programs.
- I studied international creators and saw the same pattern worldwide.
I myself have been in education and coaching since 2014.
I ran a coaching institute. I handled over 1000 admissions. I understood traffic and conversions.
Even after closing during Covid, I never left this space.
My journey has spanned various roles, from corporate jobs to university teaching.
I even ran my own franchise. It has always revolved around teaching, training, coaching, and consulting.
What’s Really Missing: Hand-Holding
In this sea of coaching programs, what you need is not another course.
You need hand-holding.
That’s why in my coaching system, I work like a tuition teacher:
- Weekly one-hour calls.
- One-to-one support.
- Step-by-step guidance until you get your first client.
I promise. Even if it takes 90 days, 120 days, or more, I’ll work with you.
I’ll support you until your first client comes.
Final Call: Work With Me
I don’t believe in making creators richer while you stay stuck. I know your strengths, weaknesses, and pain points.
What you need is structured hand-holding.
That’s why I invite you to book a free one-to-one call with me. In that session, we’ll assess:
- Can I work with you?
