Actually, I've considered hiring a life-coach myself, though I haven't done so as yet. I guess if you're really confused about where you want to go in life, a life-coach may indeed be the answer -- but I also feel that "self-help" and "self-improvement" books may be a lot cheaper! One GREAT book I've discovered a small volume that's called "SECRETS OF THE MILLIONAIRE MIND", by T. HARVE EKER. I call this little book, "a self-improvement book, cleverly disguised as a get-rich-quick book"....because that's what it is! I know of one peron, personally, whose life has changed because of reading this book -- and another person, whose life was also changed by this book, that someone told me about. Self-help BOOKS -- from authors like Dale Carnegie, Brian Tracy, Dennis Waitley, etc., are VERY good to help one get one's life on track. But if just reading doesn't help, then by all means go the "personal, one-to-one route", and get a life coach!
