Is Bagging 'Life Coaching' Too Easy?
If you purport to be a 'Life Coach' you probably wanted to be in modelling/acting/whatever but were too fat/ugly/untalented and by the time reality dawned, the sun had already set on your prospects of actually developing a useful skill - except, perhaps, your talent for spouting bullshit. The formative years spent stunting your abilities in rational analysis and reasoning in preparation for modelling/acting/whatever turn out to be a benefit when it comes to the 'profession' of 'life-coaching'. When people hand over actual cash to have someone act as a nosey mother-in-law, I feel like society is about to self destruct. What are they paying for? Amateur opinion/advice on subjects limited to the life coach's specialty of... everything? In-fact I don't know who I hold in greater contempt, the coach or the customer. I guess the good news is if you have no mates you can effectively buy one for $200 an hour.

You are a genius!
I like to think of Anthony Robbins as the Ron Barassi of life coaching.
As a very busy life coach I have to disagree with most of your comments.
$200 an hour seems a little on the inexpensive side. I would check your coaches credentials! There are lots of cowboys out there with little or no experience.
To be safe always use a member of ICLC (Institute of Life Coaches)
Is it possible that there are some unscrupulous life coaches out there practising without qualifications. I'm putting in a call to the ombudsman.
