Lots of moving pieces


I set an impossible goal to make $50,000 this year to put towards Life Coach Certification in September and to pay off some remaining debt that I have. With doing the work this month on ideas, I sat down yesterday and wrote down the idea I want to make real in the future. The first thing was to have a coaching business. What I realized was what if I could do the coach certification this coming March and figure out a way to come up with the $18,000 now instead of holding off until September. The only thing is that I don’t have $18,000 yet and I don’t have a full time job yet. I am thinking of asking my husband’s parents for $9,000 to help me get started and then I would get the full time job in the next month or so and save it up to put towards the rest of the course and pay them back. I really want to make this possible because I’ve wanted to do coach certification for so long. Is it crazy to ask my husband’s parents for money when I’m not guaranteed a full time job yet? I am worried about how they will react, but I also want to do coach certification so I’m willing to experience my emotion to their reaction. To add more to the mix, I applied for a job at $30,000 and was offered the position but turned them down. The position is still open and I’m considering going back to them and asking if I could possibly have it or what I need to do to go back through the process to be considered for it again. I have all these thoughts about it – I shouldn’t do that because I don’t know how long I would stay. I’ve already turned them down once. I do want something a little higher paying. This job isn’t a guarantee anymore either because they could have their eyes on other applicants now. – I keep applying for higher paying jobs and getting interviews, but then they go with other people. I don’t want to go back to them just because it feels like scarcity since I don’t have a full time job yet. I would love some help to sort this out! Thanks!
