Default Re: Video coaching vs. hiring a personal coach?

In a nutshell, there's really no comparison.

You can read all the books, and watch all the videos, but until you have someone that can personally work with YOU based on your personal strengths and weaknesses, you likely won't achieve the results you really desire. That's not to say you won't learn from those tools, because you of course will.

Also something to consider when hiring a coach, because there are a lot of bad coaches out there, is do they have a developed learning model? I'd say that over 95% do not. You will of course learn something from those who don't, but how much value you'll get out of the money you invest to hire a coach will be much much higher with one that has a plan.

Just a basic example... Anyone who has ever played an instrument, and has hired a music instructor should appreciate that. There are a lot of good guitar players (or drummer or whatever), but that doesn't make you a good teacher (or coach for that matter).
