I have a relative that decided to become a "life coach" he created  a website asking $5000 to come speak to companies about building business and creating wealth.  The funny part is he had one business,(if you call it that) with no employees just him and his wife that they did part time, and they lived with his wifes parents at the time.  However, to my knowledge he never did get any paid speaking bookings.  He is also constantly on facebook telling people how to get healthy, make money, and live life, none of which he has done well.
