“That seems expensive. Can you do it cheaper?”
“I had a coach before and I paid much less, can you do their fee?”
“Is it okay if I pay after the sessions are done?”
“I can’t afford it, but what if I tell everybody about you?”
“How about we do sessions that are 50% shorter and I pay you half?”
“If I pay what you’re asking, can you throw in some extra sessions?”
“Can you coach me for free so I can start making money and pay you back?”
“I need a break man, can’t you give me one?”
“How about a discount?”
“What if I pay you in gratitude?”
I get it.
You have the best reasons in the world to obtain stuff for less.
You believe you deserve it.
And maybe you do.
But the thing is: everybody does.
And it’s simply undoable to accommodate everybody.
Besides that, I just don’t want to.
Been there, done that, for years.
Not sustainable.
Not really enjoyable.
Not paying my bills.
So the answer is ‘no’.
But if you want high-quality transformative coaching and if you are willing to invest in changing your life, that’s a different thing.
I’ll say YES to that!
