The first question I ask inquiring clients is: “Do you want support?” Just because they call does NOT indicate they want support. I decline 8 out of 10 potential clients based on a sense they seek distraction more than action.

Example: if you pay a gym membership, how often do you actually go to the gym? Do your own research. You’ll be amazed at the BILLIONS of gym membership fees collected annually. A small fraction of due paying members actually GO to their GYM more than four times a month.

My next question is how many self-help books, videos, CD’s, DVD’s, workshops, retreats, seminars (et. al.) have you paid for. If they mention even ONE I ask them “did you — are you — complete (ing) all the suggested steps, exercises, tasks (etc.) presented in said resource.” A no answer results in a kind, quick conclusion to our interview. I invite them to ring back when they complete the bare — minimum work they ALREADY PAID FOR.

Choosing the right coach has more to do with how much you trust YOURSELF (than trusting your coach). I have to trust YOU that YOU will DO what YOU say you’ll do.

How much do you trust yourself? (A $10,000.00 question worthy of time and effort.)
