Investing in Your Future.

 

What's a happy life really worth to you? How much is it worth?? Since you're on this blog, it seems you already have an idea... Here's food for thought:

A woman was strolling along a street in Paris when she spotted Picasso sketching at a sidewalk café.

Not so thrilled that she could not be slightly presumptuous, the woman asked Picasso if he might sketch her, and charge accordingly.

Picasso obliged.

In just minutes, there she was: an original Picasso.

"And what do I owe you?" she asked.
"Five thousand francs," he answered.
"But it only took 3 minutes," she politely reminded him.
"No," Picasso said. "It took me all my life."

I have invested heavily in my education to get me to the point I am today. For most of my adult life I've studied and pursued personal improvement. That's a LOT of books, seminars, videos and workshops.

I am offering you the benefits of all that - in the service of bringing you to a better, happier life. That's what you are paying for.

Coaching is relatively new in the UK, and a few people show huge reluctance to pay the asking prices for what they see as "45 minutes of chat". If this is your view, then this blog is for you!

There are a number of ways of looking at this, but I think the central one is this. You only have one life, and if you're not getting what you want from it, and you haven't been for a while, then isn't it worth serious investment to sort it out?

If you were on your deathbed, what would you pay to find a cure? Probably everything you own, right? So you'd sell your house, your car, your holiday home - everything - to avoid the ending of your own life. £100,000? £1,000,000?

OK then - so what about if you've been desperately unhappy - in your job, or in your relationship? What would it be worth to you to sort that out? £10,000??!

So - what about if you're just not getting what you want from life and can't seem to change things yourself - what is it worth to you to fix that? £5,000?

What I'm saying here is that life is a one-time event - this is the real thing and the clock is ticking. And in reality - coaching doesn't cost anywhere near any of those prices.

I think the underlying problem is skepticism. If you felt sure your coaching would help you - you'd pay the asking price. What I have to teach, does work!

The other way of looking at this is to compare coaching prices with other services you currently pay for.

What did you pay to get your car through it's MOT last time? I paid £430 which was based on a mechanic's time at £75 per hour.

If your washing machine needs repairing - you're likely to be paying a minimum call out fee of at least £50 and about the same per hour for the diagnosis and repair.

What's a nice new jacket worth to you? £70? £100?

We pay these amounts because we accept that they are the going rate. We have paid them before and will do so again. We are familiar with what's on offer and we know what to expect.

But with coaching, none of this is true and so resistance is natural. Then of course, you might be subconsciously afraid of the success which coaching could bring - and be using the cost as an excuse.

One other point - my coaching costs are lower than many - just search google and you'll find one-session pricing at £70, £80 and even £120 per hour. Do I charge far less because I'm new - or not very good? No! 

So why do I charge less for clients? Long ago (but not far away) I dumped a corporate job. I'm charging a rate I think the bulk of society can afford, and I'm growing my business "organically" - through the word of mouth of satisfied clients. They're much easier to find when you're not charging top dollar!

But enough about me

Bottom line for you: If you keep doing what you've always done, then you'll keep getting what you've always got. 

 Coaching is something radically new to try in your life. It has an excellent track record. You could be in a wonderfully better life just weeks or months from now. It's relatively low-cost!
