Here's the best advice we discovered for starting a dating coaching business:

#1: Rowena Cumner, founder of Agent Engagement:

We chatted with with Rowena, founder of Agent Engagement ($1.5K/month). In our interview, Rowena says:

I’ve always campaigned against relying on just one* job* as your entire monthly income and now I believe even more so that having multiple strings to your bow (or even multiple side-hustles ) creates further ways to earn money which has proven very valuable during unpredictable times.

#5: Pat Stedman, founder of Pat Stedman Dating and Relationship Coaching :

We chatted with with Pat, founder of Pat Stedman Dating and Relationship Coaching ($30K/month). In our interview, Pat says:

Have patience. It takes years to build up a reputation. It takes years to build up insight. This is a very saturated market, and most don’t make it, mainly because they give up early. The first two years I made almost nothing,

Additionally:

Think long term and enjoy the journey. Working for yourself is incredible, but at minimum, it will take many months and more realistically many years until you will “make it.”

#6: Pat Stedman, founder of Pat Stedman Dating and Relationship Coaching :

We chatted with with Pat, founder of Pat Stedman Dating and Relationship Coaching ($30K/month). In our interview, Pat says:

We want to take the business to $50k per month and double my clientele.

#7: Ta'Veca Collins, founder of Romance On The Go, Concierge Services:

We chatted with with Ta'Veca, founder of Romance On The Go, Concierge Services ($3.5K/month). In our interview, Ta'Veca says:

I would get calls asking if I could set-up a room for this birthday, that anniversary, or help me get out the dog house!

Additionally:

I learned that in this industry, you have to essentially advertise services that solve problems within a relationship. Most couples have a lackluster intimate relationship and often don’t consider themselves to be romantic or feel that they could be more romantic towards their partner.

Further:

It's okay to stand out and be different. I decided a while back that it was important for me to share my goals and dreams with people that wanted to see me succeed and who believe in my business.

#8: Rowena Cumner, founder of Agent Engagement:

We chatted with with Rowena, founder of Agent Engagement ($1.5K/month). In our interview, Rowena says:

You don’t necessarily need to rush: Going full-time on your new business can be a lot of pressure. If it’s possible to test out your idea and product or service at the weekends or evenings, definitely do that first!

Additionally:

Don’t get a co-founder unless you really need one! People’s lives and prioritise change pretty quickly - If you’re the one lying awake at night dreaming big and the other person is just hanging along for the ride then you’ll both be frustrated very quickly.
