Purpose & Fulfillment Coach
Help clients discover life purpose, meaning, and create fulfilling lives
Overview
Purpose coaches charge $100-$325 per hour or $1,200-$4,500 for programs.
Serving 8-20 clients generates $85,000-$420,000 annually with 80-90% margins.
In 2025, people experiencing midlife transitions, career questioning, or seeking deeper meaning hire coaches helping discover purpose.
Services include exploring values and what truly matters, identifying unique gifts and strengths, clarifying life purpose and mission, aligning career with purpose, supporting major life transitions, addressing existential questions, creating legacy and impact plans, and designing purpose-driven lives.
Successful purpose coaches have maturity and life experience, understand developmental psychology and life stages, hold space for deep existential exploration, ask profound questions, and help clients connect with authentic desires versus societal expectations.
Many work with midlife clients (35-55) experiencing questioning or transition, empty nesters, or people after major life events.
Deep transformational work commands premium pricing.
Programs typically 6-12 months for depth.
Marketing through authentic vulnerable content about meaning and purpose resonates with ideal clients in search.
