I had won a free coaching year with a business coach. She guided me to blog, create Facebook pages, twitter, etc. Next stage, she coached me to answer ads seeking writers for college papers. I didn't feel the first stage, but had done it anyway. Next stage I morally objected to. I was not going to writ papers for those who would get the degrees earned from them, then go on to make $200,000 a year starting pay which I would probably contribute to if I needed a doctor or lawyer, etc. They would buy my work dirt cheap to make hundreds of thousands off me. No way! I gave up on the whole thing.
Recently I began to allow myself to see and embody my own value. When put on the spot and asked what I would charge, I remembered a 15 minute phone call someone appreciated so much for taking her from crisis to peace that she sent $40. I had a price! And it was a whole lot higher than I would have assumed myself worthy of. Factored that out: 2 calls per day= $80 per day=$400 per 5 day work week. I'd make as much as a welder working full time. My children and I could get by on that. I left off that thinking, focused on inner work.
Now I'm watching a free program on a successful business model for health practitioners. I could call myself an Inner Health Coach. Yes, there's a major need for it not being served adequately. If only getting paid after getting result, who would I choose as a client? That client would be the testimonial that establishes my expertise. I've gotten FB post references to my successfully helping people. I've gotten testimonials unsolicited. I just need one big enough to establish respect for the transformative power of time spent with me.
Then I got to realizing, true! How much would someone pay for an hour on the phone with me? One woman felt the results and felt it was worth $40. One got child support after my guiding her on how to get it and decided it was worth making $100 per month land payments for me. 5 acres of land for half an hour! One woman sent me three books for half an hour. New books can be $15+. She thought it was worth $45 and probably would have gotten more, but I only gave her a list of three and thought she'd choose one. One young woman had given up on life because in Egypt, where she lived, a woman who had been sexually active before marriage was not marriage material. Life ruined. A few months later, she sent me a wedding invitation. How much would someone pay to be set up for life?! So imagine I guide someone through a rabbit hole that had been blocking what would bring in millions at the end of the line? A $1,000? Easily. Suddenly, I can feel financial freedom is a very real potential for me! To get it all started, I just need ONE influential testimony.
He mentions filtering out the "tire kickers". I admit, they did always bother me. I had to accept free readings, coachings, book from Esther Hicks, and everything else in between because I had no money to spend. I, however, made the very most of it, applied it, benefited from it and shared it. I was confused by those who requested help with their feelings but didn't seem to appreciate my offerings. They wanted justification for their feelings, not to actually change them, I realized finally. I don't give goodies to have them thrown down the toilet!
Also; I got over my stage fright at some point along the line, which was another hindrance and something i can help the next greatest politician overcome. What's gaining a country worth?
Oh, forgot to mention the "Perfect Client Pipeline" by Yuri Elkaim is the video I'm watching.
