What if I don’t think I need help?

Everyone needs help.

I frequently invest in coaching, mentoring, and products to help me become a better writer, marketer, and business person.

You may not think you need help right now, but let me ask you something:

  • Why would someone hire a house cleaner when they could clean their own home?
  • Why would someone pay a hairdresser when they could cut their own hair?
  • Why would someone hire a carpenter to hang cabinets when they could Google how to do it?
  • Why would someone hire a landscaper when they could plant their own flowers?
  • Why would someone hire a CPA when they could do their own taxes?

The answer to each of these questions is: because they have more money than time.If you don’t recognize the value of professional assistance, then I can’t help you.

What happens after I pay?

You’ll receive a link to schedule an appointment in my calendar, and I’ll send you the Customer Story Needs Assessment to complete. Once I receive your answers, I’ll send our next steps together.

Can someone else be on the call with me?

No. Calls are strictly 1-on-1. Feel free to bring a list of questions. The call will have two participants: you and me.

Do you offer refunds?

No. Refunds are not offered for 1-on-1 calls.

Still have questions?
