My dear readers, it is July of 2025. In July of 2022 I decided to be a life coach and it’s been three years since that wonderful decision and every one of you is a part of the world I’ve built over this time. I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the wonderful three years you’ve given me.
Some of you have moved away from coaching. Some of you have seen great success. Some of you have just started the path to your happiness and some of you have been enjoying the path for quite some time now. Wherever you are on your journey to find happiness, it’s important to reconnect to why it’s important to be happy.
Why does your life matter?
In times of despair, in times of hardships we experience something strange. Life is really, really difficult but in those times somehow we feel the deepest resistances to change. It’s not that we don’t want to change our life because everything is so super and amazing, it’s definitely crappy as hell; but changing our life seems so challenging and hopeless.
It would be amazing if we don’t have to do anything and our life could just magically be better. Factors like significant burnout where we are running on empty, these can be reasons why we feel this way; we just have no energy to try and change our lives. But a magic life change is unrealistic and many times unreliable even when it happens, so life keeps on getting harder and harder.
You may feel some nudges to change things around but again, it’s just so fucking hard. I know this because I’ve been studying this difficulty in life changes for my entire lifetime as a life coach.
Why are some topics so easy to coach on? Why are some topics so hard to coach on? Moreover, why are some topics so easy to coach on for person X but why is the same topic so hard to coach on for person Y? These are the questions I’ve passionately tried to answer but that’s not the point of this writing.
Why not just give up?
Why not just continue to be in pain, or just end life itself? Why don’t we encourage that? I’ve seen many messages from many individuals and organizations to fight for your life, but I haven’t really seen a compelling argument as to WHY we need to fight for our life.
There are arguments, but they aren’t compelling to me because the argument itself assumes that we need a reason to be happy. What if we wondered why we need to suffer instead? It seems like there are plenty of reasons to suffer, so it makes sense that we think that there must be a reason to be happy.
And that grand premise is what I ended up verifying. Is there a reason?
I remember waking up in a panic on a Sunday, I slept in and I need to go to school! Then I look at the calendar and realize it’s a Sunday, ah what a relief! I had nightmares of needing to take a final exam, to wake up that OMG! I haven’t been a student in a decade!
All the small reasons to panic, be angry, suffer made sense at the time but I outgrew those reasons. What if I could apply the same logic to the big reasons? What if I thought about the reason to suffer in life itself, outside of specific circumstances? What if we’re suffering needlessly?
I think your life ultimately ends up mattering because when you’re happy, you can do things you never thought were possible in your life. You can be the beacon of hope for people, you can be the reason why other people don’t suffer. How can I be so sure? Well, you see plenty of counterexamples of this. Unhappy people become the reason for despair and reason for situations that make suffering more likely.
This life will go on anyway until it doesn’t. Doesn’t it make more sense to live it happily, without suffering?
I didn’t realize all of this the moment I started life coaching three years ago. But I was able to arrive at where I am now, I was able to cultivate happiness in many many people thanks to your support. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without you.
It’s a new July and there are lots of life changes coming up my way. I’ll talk about all of those over time. But there are some changes in how July Life Coach will work, and I want to formally announce them here.
1:1 Programs
I am now offering two 1:1 programs:
- One month (x4) coaching for $1,000
- Three month (x12) coaching for $2,400
You can repeat the three month program for as much as you want. 1:1 programs support not only my business but all these nonprofits and non-governmental organizations.
If you are living in a country with a significant purchasing power difference when compared to the US Dollar, I offer price matching based on your currency. To get started with 1:1 coaching, please email me at billy@julylifecoach.com.
Business Coaching
My structure and pricing for my business coaching remains the same. It’s a buy-once evergreen program that gives you access to all of my business coaching material plus two 30 minute 1:1 calls per month. I run many monthly programs that are always included for my business coaching students, and I think it’s the best way to make your business a happy business.
The currency based price matching is also available for bizcoach. To get started with July Biz Coach, you can click this link.
Ad-Hoc Programs
As mentioned above, I run fun coaching programs that I feel like leading at the moment. The best way to stay up to date on what will be offered in the future is to continue reading my writings, like this!
Again, thank you so much for your continued support and I hope the reduced complexity in my offerings make better sense for you. I have many things to share in the upcoming days, so I’ll see you in the next writings.
