Q: I have scoured the internet and done my research and your rates are the best around. And the amount of money I can make from a deal makes it worth it for me to continue working with you long term. Can we work together indefinitely and can I have you in my back pocket?

A: LOL, yes you can keep me in your back pocket. In fact the rates were designed to be affordable because starting a new business takes time and money and I know from starting my own businesses that it can be a struggle. And I also know it helps to have access to someone who can answer your tough business questions because time is money and a deal shouldn’t have to fall through because your not sure what to say or do next. You can order Coaching gigs in perpetuity. In fact, if you know you want a long term coaching /mentoring relationship ask for a long term or annual rate discount.
