It strikes me reading this piece, how insanely high ROI it would have been for this guy to have hired a really good life coach. He learned so many lessons the hard way way after he was ready to learn them and someone who was capable of transporting those lessons back in time to the point where he was ready to hear them would have generated hundreds of thousands of dollars in excess value.

Unfortunately, there are so many "life coaches" that they drown out the people who could have actually been a good coach to this person.
