Prosperity Coaching – Restarting The New Millennium
New Millennium Prosperity Coaching With A Brand New Tool
I’ve been thinking a lot about the 2010 milestone–the beginning of the second decade of this new millennium. And how so many of us had major dreams and aspirations for the turning of the new century and new millennium in 2000 that just haven’t materialized. Of course, the tragedy of 9/11 changed a lot about our perceptions of the world and perhaps it had a major impact on you. But here’s a new opportunity to make this a new time with new results in your life. To help accomplish this, as part of the preparation for doing a personal coaching session with me, I am creating a new version of a tool that has helped tens of thousands of people focus on their accomplishments, desires, and aspirations.
The Jerry Gillies New Year’s Questionnaire
It originally started as my contribution to a New Year’s evening at my apartment in Miami in 1976, the Bicentennial Year. I designed 76 questions each of us could answer for ourselves, and then discuss if we wished, about the year just gone by and our hopes and dreams for the one just beginning. This expanded in later years, and the questions kept evolving. Now I have come up with 110 Questions For 2010. And part of the emotional preparation for all of this is to look at 2010 as a restart of the New Millennium, a do over if you will.
Now here, I have to toot my own horn a bit. I am known for the power and potency of my questions. In fact, Dr. Wayne Dyer told me a list of questions I created for couples to ask and answer for each other in my first book was the single most valuable tool he had discovered when teaching a course in marriage counseling at St. Johns University.
What is different this time is that I am going to ask everyone who signs up for a one hour coaching session to answer these 110 questions, then send as many of the the answers as they are willing to share directly to me. I am asking that they send at least ten of their answers. I will read through them as my preparation for a very individual coaching session.
If you register, you will immediately receive the fourteen page questionnaire you can download or print. You can then highlight the answers that are most significant for you, or I will pick out several that we can discuss specifically during the actual coaching. So far as I know or have been able to discover, no other coach in the world offers this kind of advance preparation, this kind of honing in on the client’s specific needs. And quite honestly, in some early sampling of coaching clients, I have seen that this list of simple questions may be a powerful source of transformative inspiration worth far more than the coaching fee itself. Especially as it becomes a back-and-forth shared experience between the two of us.
One reason for this unique component of my coaching is that I want to start off with each client at a higher level of awareness. And that’s for each of us. Most coaches expect their clients to keep coming back, so that their wants and desires and needs will slowly but surely unfold over time. I am designing this offer so that one session will do it for you, move you into your next level of peak performance. Sure, I would love to have you continue to work with me. But not because you haven’t gotten full value in the first session and feel unfinished, rather because it has proved so valuable that you want more to add-on to your successful results.
For thirty years now, I have been teaching, writing, mentoring, coaching, and speaking about prosperity consciousness. And because of that wealth of experience, I know you can be richer than you are now. Despite the economy, despite your own doubts, despite having some negative beliefs that have held you down until now. In other words, in spite of everything you perceive as the reality of today, you can dramatically change your results by listening to someone who knows what they’re talking about. Someone who won’t let you get away with dawdling or dithering or delaying.
So here are five ways in which my coaching sessions are different and much more empowering.
1. Investment.
Having done one-to-one sessions in the past at $1000 per hour, I am now doing a test of a new approach, and want to make it accessible to people who have a burning desire to change their current situation, and will make good case histories for future books and seminars. $197 is the one-time, one session fee.
A personal note:
I know this is not the accepted practice–mentioning the price so soon up front goes against most conventional marketing wisdom. But I’ll confess I am letting my personal bias dictate my decision. I hate having to read my way through pages and pages of marketing ploys before I find out how much it’s going to cost me. I just received a sales letter email from a very famous and successful entrepreneur selling a course. I wanted to know how much he was charging, but had to scroll down past sixteen pages to finally find out this “$1597” value would cost me $277. The truth? My time wasted with reading sixteen pages should be compensated with at least $277 just to read all this hype.
(I have lots more to share with you–I want to provide as much information about what you’ll be getting as possible. But I also realize you may not want to read further, or you may already know this is the gift you are ready to give yourself right now. If this is true, you can leave this letter and go to the link below and sign up.)
2. Action-Oriented with Unique Follow-Up.
My purpose in creating this special series is to get you moving in your life, and I will design at least three specific strategies for you to implement, with a follow-up to check on how you are doing and to see whether your program needs tweaking or modifying in any specific way. You will be given three specific tasks to perform in a set amount of time. These will be based on your individual needs and desires, based on information from your answers to the 110 questions and what you discuss during the coaching session itself. You also will be given three additional, very individual questions to ponder on your own at the end of the coaching session. A week or two after your session, I will, by phone or email, personally contact you to see how you have been doing with your three tasks, and what you’ve learned from your three personal questions.
It’s not enough that I give you ideas and concepts that you find interesting or entertaining. My intention is not only to inspire and encourage, but to motivate and activate. If you aren’t putting this stuff into immediate practice in your life, it isn’t working. My whole motivating goal in putting out this unprecedented program is to move toward my long-range goal of producing a book incorporating many success stories of people who have used my techniques to make dramatic changes in their quality of life and standard of living. If you aren’t going to contribute to that result, I really would rather you didn’t participate.
3. Continuing coaching.
If you are excited about the process and your results and want to do some more sessions, I will personally design a continuing coaching program for you, taking into account your goals and desires, your available time, and your budget. But your initial commitment is just a one-time $97 investment–there will be no automatic debiting or billing thereafter–you will have the option to continue, but you will have to tell me directly you want to do so.
Here’s an area where many information marketers are condescending and deceptive. They don’t mention in the initial marketing material that they want you to keep on buying more and more of their products. Sometimes they go so far as to build in a continuing monthly debit that will be charged to your credit card or bank account if you don’t read the small print and figure out how to cancel it.
I abhore and deplore these tactics–they make my skin crawl. On the other hand, if you decide you want more, and only because the initial coaching session works for you and helps you make immediate progress in your life, I would love to keep working with you, and will make you a very special offer at a very special rate.
After the first session, or even before if you know you will want more than one such experience, you may sign up for five coaching sessions that can be spread out over a six month period at the price of less than four sessions. 5 for $750.
4. Additional free material.
You will immediately be put on a special list and receive weekly email prosperity messages and ideas before they appear in future books, on my blogs, or in any other form. This is a two-way street and win-win proposition, as I will ask for your feedback and reports on any positive results you have putting these ideas and suggestions to use. And as I come upon audios, videos, reports and trainings that pertain to your particular issues, I will forward these to you regularly. Just as you may email friends those things you think they will be most interested in of find most useful, I will do the same for my coaching clients.
5. Free recording.
You will receive an MP3 recording of your coaching session so that you won’t have to be distracted taking notes during your session. And instructions on making the most of this recording for your own success.
Another two-way street and win-win situation. I will also have a copy of the session and may want to use parts of it in seminars, or on my blogs, and by signing up for a coaching/consultation, you agree to have it recorded, though your name won’t ever be used, unless you give specific permission to do so.
Buying Your Ticket For Transportation To Your Future Success
I know you are probably used to a lot of hyperbole about the value of various programs–everyone does it–telling you this is $5000 worth of materials you are getting for $39.95, etc. Where I choose to be different is that I have actually been paid $1000 for personal coaching sessions. And the people who paid me this, fans of the original Moneylove bestselling book, or of my Nightingale-Conant cassette program, were excited to have my personal attention and more than willing to pay that amount, and no one ever took advantage of my money-back satisfaction guarantee. I keep the names of all such clients confidential, but you would be surprised at some of the major figures in the world of motivation and success who saw their careers take off after one or more sessions with me.
Actually, though I could be a bit deceptive and use this in a bold print headline, I have been paid as much as $5000 for a one hour coaching session. However, this amount was paid at a charity auction, and the money went to the charity rather than into my pocket. But the client said it was worth every penny and continued with several more sessions (at a considerably lower price, I’ll admit).
And I’ve a lot more experience and knowledge now, so my coaching sessions are even more valuable.
Your Decision To Take The Next Step
And unlike anyone else selling this kind of program, I am not going to tell you that it’s time for you to take the next step in your life. That’s your decision, and I don’t want you as a coaching client if you are not yet ready to take the plunge, to start doing things differently and thinking new thoughts in order to get new and different results. If you know in your heart you are ready for this, then welcome. If not, I wish you well, and perhaps another time. Yes, it may be a lot more expensive then, but the truth is if you are ready then but not now, it will be money well spent, and a wait wisely worth it.
I hate false ultimatums. So I’m not going to tell you I’m only taking on so many clients and that’s it, or claim that this offer is only good for the next week or month or 24 hours. But obviously, as I am highly focused on creating my blogs and my revised and annotated new edition of Moneylove for early release next year, there is a limited amount of time I am willing to devote to this. When I’ve filled up what I consider to be a reasonable coaching schedule, I will withdraw the offer. Some of my superstar friends in the motivational world already are telling me I should charge $1000 for these sessions. One recently said to me, “Your work changed my life and made me a millionaire several times over. If anyone is charging a thousand dollars for an hour of coaching, it should certainly be the author of Moneylove.”
Your Coach’s Commitment
So here’s my commitment. I will deliver to you a coaching session with the intention of making it worth $1000 an hour. It may be a subtle difference, but when we start our session, I want the kind of attention from you as if you were paying $1000, and I will give you the same elegant, high-end attention. This is only worth it for me and you if it produces results. I’m not going to be satisfied to accept your money and then send you on your merry way. I want to know what is happening in your life, and how effectively you are using my ideas, and how you may be tailoring them to your own situation. We are entering into much more of a partnership than most coach-client relationships.
Are You Ready?
And I am not going to talk you into this, or keep sending you marketing letters with more enticing offers. This is my best offer, and you know right now whether now is the time and place in your life to move forward in this way. If you can’t make a decision, then you are not ready and I am not interested in having you as a client. I do not want to spend my limited time trying to train wishy-washy, uncertain, uncommitted clients. It’s too much work with no payoff in terms of satisfaction for me. When you’ve been doing this for thirty years, you know immediately who is going to get positive results because they are willing, ready, and able to make immediately changes in their current patterns, and who isn’t going to succeed because they are stuck in old habits of indecision, doubt, and fear. Are you one of the ready ones? You tell me–you’re the only one who can.
