The only reason this would be an issue for you is if there's a part of you that agrees with other people's criticism. It doesn't sound like you fully respect and value the idea of being a personal coach... at least not 100%. If you're totally congruent about the idea, then other people's opinions won't matter. It's your self-doubt that's getting in your way.
Consider that if I criticize you about something you know isn't true, you'll simply brush me off as mistaken. In order for criticism to have any bite, there must be an element of truth to it, however small.
The solution is to figure out what you don't respect about personal coaching and discover what you can do to avoid succumbing to those problems yourself. Self-doubt often points to important info we need to bring to conscious awareness, so it doesn't bite us in the back later.
