6 Hot Coaching Niches That Are CRU$HING in 2026

Choosing the wrong coaching niche in 2026 won't just slow you down, it will make you completely irrelevant, because the coaching industry isn't getting harder, it's getting sharper. And the niches that worked a year ago are already struggling today. So this isn't about passion, it's not about doing what you like, and it's definitely not about copying what everyone else is doing. Now, after helping thousands of coaches get their first paying clients online, I can tell you this, that the coaches who win this year and beyond will be in very specific niches. And in this video here, I'm going to break down the six hottest coaching niches for 2026 and beyond. And the last one, number six, is the one that is making the most money right now. And it's not based on hype or trends, it's not based on any weird sort of demand, but it's based on money flow and where people are spending the money right now. If you want a coaching niche that prints money, you need to understand why people buy and not just what they buy. So I want to talk about first principles on why people buy. In the history of humanity, there's two things that people want time and time again. And the first thing they want is convenience. If we are in the business of selling laziness, we will make a ton of money because the human mind just, just want to do one thing and that's to conserve energy and find the path of least resistance. So if you sell convenience and help people become lazier, you will make a lot of money. And so that's a big pinch of principle. I'll give you some examples. Uber crushed the taxi industry. Not because it was cheaper, not because they're faster, but because when they remove the one process in, in the whole pathway to catching a taxi, meaning that, remember you had to catch a taxi, you had to wave a taxi down, you have to wait for them. But worst of all, when you got in, when they dropped you off, they were double parked. And you have to pull out your wallet and pay cash because if you pay by credit card, they'll charge you exorbitant fees. And you're waiting there, the car behind you is beeping. And the whole process took about two or three minutes. And that was very, very inconvenient. And when Uber removed that whole process because you could just order on an app, which made it easy. But more importantly, when, if you remember catching your first Uber, they turned up to your home or your office and you got in the Uber and when you got off, you didn't have to pay because the app did it all for you. And it was this magical moment where you thought, wow, this is awesome. Because what they did was they sold you convenience. And, and this has been shown in multiple industries. Think about Amazon. The one click checkout. Now, the one click checkout changed Amazon because not only did it prevent people from going elsewhere through a two or three step process, but it made it easy, quick and convenient. Clickfunnels did the same thing when it blew up online because it created a platform for people to create online funnels with a drag and drop. They made things easy and convenient. If you help people become lazy, you will make a lot of money. So that's the first big principle I want to talk about before I go through the six hottest coaching niches right now. The second principle I want to talk about is everybody wants things quicker. You need to sell speed. And so if you can help someone get there, get their goals faster in a shorter amount of time, you will make a lot of money. I'll give you an example. People are willing to pay for liposuction because exercising at the gym and going on a diet is way too hard, but more importantly, way too long. And so they'll go through an erroneous process to go for liposuction and get surgery where they could get admitted into the hospital. And they wake up after a couple hours and they're 30 to 40 kilos heavier. Lighter. I mean, lighter. And so liposuction people want speed. Amazon prime. People will pay for speed fast. Internet people pay for speed. The only reason why the coaching industry is booming right now is because when you are being mentored by someone who's done the thing that you want in your life right now, you will get there faster because you don't have to create your own mistakes. You can get the shortcuts, you can get the map, you can get the secret hacks because they've done it before and they can show you how to get there faster. Now you are all earning enough money, but you're just not earning it fast enough. What do I mean by this? If you are making a million dollars, is that a lot of money or a little bit of money? Well, it depends how long it takes you to make it. Most of you watching right now will probably make a million dollars in your lifetime. If that means you're earning $50,000 a year for the next 20 years, you'll make a million dollars. Or it might mean that you earn $100,000 a year for 10 years, you'll make a million dollars. So most of you here watching this right now will make a million dollars in your lifetime. The question is, how quickly will you make it? Will you make the million dollars over 20 years, over 10 years, over five years, over a year, or over a month? And so if you can help someone create the income that they're normally going to create in their lifetime anyway by helping get it faster, you will make a lot of money. Because everybody wants things faster. In fact, I don't know a single person that when you ask them, hey, what is your goals? What are your desires? What are you looking to achieve this year? And you ask them, would you like to get there slower? No one will say it because everyone wants to get there faster. And most people are willing to pay. And when I say pay, they're willing to invest their time and or money to help them get what they want faster. So if you sell convenience, help people become lazy, and you help them get what they want faster, you will make a lot of money. So those are two big principles I want to share with you because this is everlasting. And whether you're watching this in 2027, 2028, 2030, I guarantee you, whether it's 10 years from now or 20 years from now, people will still want things more conveniently. They want to be lazy and they want things faster. That will never change. Now, when it comes to niching, there's two things about niching is. The first thing is if you are going to decide on your niche, you need to understand that you need to be congruent with what you're coaching. So for example, if you want to help Christian entrepreneurs and you're a Muslim, well, that's not really going to work. If you want to help single moms and you're a dad, I don't know if that's going to work because you probably don't really know what it feels like to be a single parent. So you need to be congruent number one. But underneath, congruency is own me, need to be one chapter ahead. What do I mean by being one chapter ahead? This is a bookmark. Now what's the purpose of a bookmark? You read your book, you put the bookmark in your page and so that you know what page you are up to so you never have to reread the same page. So that's the purpose of a bookmark. Hey, Carter, Come in, come in, come in. Now, if you guys don't mind, we have a special guest today. It is My five year old daughter, Carter. All right, Carter, so we're doing some YouTube content today. Would you like to share with them how you can be one chapter ahead? Dad is going through the six hottest coaching niches that's going to help you blow up your business and that's going to make the most money right now. Let's see how long Carter stays for. So this is a bookmark. Now the purpose of bookmark is you put it in your page so you never have to reread the same chapter. You know where you're up to and you only read forwards. Very useful in a book. But here's the problem. Most people do not bookmark their life. What does that mean? How many of you know of someone who has been trying to lose the same 10 kilos or same £10 for the last three or four or five years? Yes. Carter. Yeah. Hey, go up to mummy. It's your birthday. It is. Hey, it is my birthday today. Yeah, it's daddy's birthday today. You know, I'm shooting this video on my birthday today. I know. Thank you. If you guys want to type in the comment section, happy birthday, Richmond, that'd be much appreciated. So how many of you know of someone who has been trying to lose the same 10 kilos, same 10 pounds over the last 10 years? Most of us do. How do you know if someone, how many of you know of someone who's maybe been trying to get out of the job that they hate and been stuck in a job and a career that they hate for the last three or four or five years? Yeah, they do. You, you know of someone like that? How many of you know of someone who's been in a relationship they have been unfulfilled in for three, four, five, six, seven years? Yep. How many of you know of someone that set the same New Year's resolution for multiple years straight? Most people know someone like that. You see, people don't know how to bookmark their life. That's why they relive the same health chapter. That's why they relive the same relationship chapter. That's why they relive the same career chapter. How many of you know someone that's been trying to get clients online in the coaching business for the last three months, four months, five months, a year, two years and still haven't got any traction? They're reliving the same business chapter. You see, most people don't know how to bookmark their life and that's why they relive the same chapter. And if you are one chapter ahead. And you can help them get out of the chapter they've been stuck in for the last 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 years. Would it be fair to say that they will pay you a hefty amount of money for you to help them get out? You better believe it. And quite often we Compare our Chapter 20 to someone else's chapter, our Chapter 1 to someone else's Chapter 20. What does it mean? It means this. It means that we start comparing for defamation and not inspiration, and we start to tell ourselves a story that we're not good enough because we. We start to have this comparison syndrome, when in reality, you should compare, but you should compare for inspiration to see what's possible and not defamation. And you should never Compare your chapter one to someone else's 20, but rather look at it that you can help someone that's one chapter before you. And so never, ever discount the power of being one chapter ahead. Now, how many of you watching this right now? It may be you that you weren't really in the same chapter, but maybe you had a season in your life where you actually going backwards and you felt like, if I was really in the same chapter, that would be awesome right now. But you were going backwards. I've been there too. And so if you're one chapter ahead and you're helping someone that's been stuck in the same chapel for the last 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10 years, or worse yet, someone that's actually going backwards, they will pay an exorbitant amount of money to you to help them get out because you're one chapter ahead. So the second thing I want to talk about when we talk about niching before getting into six hot topics or six hot niches is this. Your niche is not a tattoo. Write it down. Your niche is not a tattoo. You're allowed to change it. It's not like you're getting married to it. You're allowed to date it. People get divorced in a real marriage, and yet people feel like if I choose my niche and I choose wrong, I can't change it. You're allowed to change it. In actual fact, the average coach, out of all the thousands of students we help changes niches at least three times. At least three times. I have. And this is why we became the king of tiny challenges. This is my third niche I'm in right now, helping beginner coaches get their first paying clients fast through tiny challenges. And so the average coach will change three times. You'll. You're not married to it. You're allowed to change it now, do I recommend you changing every single week? No. Do I recommend you changing it every single month? Probably not either. But it's okay if you did and if you kept on chopping and changing and change it 50 times, maybe that's not a good thing. What I am saying is that, you know what, you are allowed to change it every now and then. It's not a tattoo. So now that we know that, I want to go through the six hottest coaching niches right now. Get a pen and paper out. This is going to be fire. Niche number one is high performance coaching for mindset. What I mean by this, particularly for achievers like you and I, the world right now has more distraction than ever before. In actual fact, your number one enemy to success is distraction. So if you pull out your phone and look at your phone right now, right, hopefully you're watching this on desktop. But even if you put the browser down, I want you to look at your phone. Because look at my phone, you will see four rows by six rows of apps. So 24 apps and you'll see four by six again, 24 apps again, there's 24 apps and I don't have any more apps. Now, the purpose of every app on your phone is to do one thing. It's to get your data, because data is the new oil. But how does it get your data? It needs you to use it. So it's a purpose is to get your attention because attention is a new currency. Data is a new oil. If it can get your attention, it can get your data. And it's going to use your data to run ads back at you. That's just the game that we're in right now. Now, every app on your phone wants you to use it and wants you to stay on platform for longer. As you're watching YouTube right now, I guarantee YouTube wants you to stay. It wants you to stay on platform for longer because it wants your data. And the longer you use YouTube, the more it's going to be able to run ads to you, the more money it's going to make from businesses that are running ads to you. That's the game. So if you look at my phone right now, Facebook wants me to use Facebook for long. So it wants my data. Instagram, WhatsApp, Voxer, YouTube, Google Maps, Uber, Uber Eats, my shopping list, my email, Spotify, all of these want my data because data is the new oil. Why am I sharing this with you? Because if I said to you 10 years ago, I have shiny object syndrome, Most of you will be like, oh my gosh, what does that mean? You'll be confused. There's no such thing of shiny object syndrome, but now it's a real thing because distraction is at its highest. Your phone is the number one distraction enemy to your success because everything just wants your attention to get your data and that's just your phone. Outside Your phone is YouTube, Netflix, your friends, your parents, your spouse, your work colleagues. And it's really overwhelming. And so if you can become a high performance mindset coach to help people become more focused and disciplined and hold real accountability so that you can help them remove distraction and get the result faster, you will win because this will allow them to get to where they want to go faster. The second hot niche that's working best right now is, is business coaching for beginner coaches. The coaching industry is booming right now. It's growing so fast. You can find out all the stats online and it's tip to double in the next five to seven years. Why is that? Well, job displacement is huge right now with AI coming in. But more importantly, depression, anxiety, mental health, people wanting to really have an appetite for coaching to get there faster. People are really unfulfilled in the job right now. In actual fact, 84% of people are unfulfilled in the work they do and they're thinking about moving on to another career. And coaching has been something on their mind. And so if the industry is booming, then obviously this a hot niche. Now why is this important? If you pick an industry that is booming, you, you could be an idiot and you'll still make money. How many of you know of someone that's bought a property in a booming property market and they made a killing? Probably your parents who bought property 20 years ago. Now if you are a seasoned property investor and you have 10, 15, 20 properties, but then you start buying when the property market is crashing, you will get destroyed because the industry is collapsing. And so no matter how good you are, you cannot beat a collapsing market. And if you're not that good and you're just starting out, you can ride a booming market. And so the coaching industry is booming and so business coaching for beginner coaches is booming right now. Hot niche number three is relationship coaching for entrepreneurs. Now this has becoming hotter and hotter and hotter. And this is something I personally am getting right now, not because my relationship is falling apart, but because I know that when things are great at home, it gives me way more energy to be able to do what I do online. And I know from past experience and also from what I hear from our students is that they feel like a failure if they're succeeding in business, but their home life is not sorted and they're having fights and arguments with their spouse all the time. In actual fact, when you have a fight and argument with a spouse, it drains your energy. It's very hard for you to focus and you feel, feel like it's just not worth it. And so relationship coaching for entrepreneurs is getting stronger and stronger and stronger. And it's a growing little niche market because entrepreneurs, they're great at business, but they just suck at building intimate relationships. And so if you can help entrepreneurs build more closer, more connectable relationships at home, you're going to win. 4th hardest coaching niche right now is faith based coaching. What does this mean? It means this. So whatever area you're coaching in, if you're a faith based entrepreneur, then this could be a great hot niche for you. Meaning that if you coach Catholics or Christians or Muslims or Buddhists or whatever faith you are in and you sub niche down to that faith base, this is very lucrative at the moment because in a world of uncertainty, people are looking for communities of like minded people or same values or same faith. And so if you can help people who can bond together from the same faith, then that's going to be huge for you. Because right now, because of AI, people are feeling more disconnected than ever before. And communities is something people want to belong to. And that sense of being part of a community that's faith based is very attractive. And so if you're a coaching business right now and you are faith based and you can niche down to that, you will crush. I'll give you an example. You may be coaching single moms now. There's thousands and thousands of coaches out there that coach single moms. But if you coach single Catholic moms or single Muslim moms, or single Islamic moms, or single Christian moms or single Buddhist moms, you will crush your crush. Because that mom will be like that person gets me. And there's plenty of subcategories in that space. 5th hottest coaching niche right now is high performance energy and that vitality for entrepreneurs. So if you're helping with them, with health, energy, vitality for entrepreneurs, you're going to make a lot of money. And, and right now we know that the growing trend of biohacking is massive. Everyone's a biohacker now, even myself. I've got those scales at home, the Hum health scales, which I stand on. It measures my body weight in percentage in terms of fat, my water weight, my bone density, it gives me my biological age and I wear a band. And I mean everybody here is into biohacking because people want to live longer, they want more vitality, they want more energy. And this is a booming industry, it's a booming trend. So, so you're involved in helping entrepreneurs increase energy, increase vitality through health, through biohacking, through performance enhancements. In that category, you're gonna make a killing. So here's the final niche that's crushing it right now. Number six, and it's this AI coaching for businesses. We all know AI is changing the world so fast right now. And, and it's really hard to imagine where the world will be in a year, three years, five years, yet on 10 years because of AI. And it's exciting but scary at the same time because many businesses will be left behind if they don't adopt this. And the problem is most businesses just don't know how to or they find it extremely overwhelming. And so if you can pick up the skill set of learning or you're naturally good at it, or you already know and you're one chapter ahead and you, and you can help businesses, whether a small business, startup business, or maybe even big corporate businesses, help them get clients faster, easier deliver results easier, operate easier, more convenience, more speed, just help them grow, help them scale, help them trim down, help them get more efficiency through AI. Just help them implement AI in their business. You are going to crush and you are going to potentially become a millionaire faster than other industries now. And it is predicted that there'll be more millionaires created in the next five years from AI coaching than it has been from any other coaching in the last 20 years. That's how big this is right now. And so if you're looking to make money fast, number one, make sure that you're in a niche that you're congruent in. You're one chapter ahead. No, your niche is not a tattoo. If you sell convenience and sell speed, you will always win. And so to recap, the six hottest niches that are making making money right now, that are printing cash right now is high performance mindset coaching, business coaching for beginner coaches, relationship coaching for entrepreneurs, faith based niching, helping people get more energy and vitality and health through performance coaching for entrepreneurs. And finally, AI coaching for businesses. Now I want to end with this final saying here. The best niche isn't the one that excites you the most. It's the one that pays you long enough to give you the freedom for you to choose later. Ladies and gentlemen, I trust this is valuable. Keep believing. Never settle.
