Sometimes a small thing can make a world of difference and add incredible value to your client’s lives. In an instant a shift can take place that has results that stick for a lifetime. What would that be worth in your client’s eyes? As Mastercard used to advertise, priceless!
When Andrew approached me he was worried. He was obese and was fearful of a looming train wreck with his health. He suffered with pain in his knees and back. He was stressed. As we began to design the plan to transform his lifestyle and address his wants (to lose weight) we agreed that to achieve the results of Thriving Health and to make it stick was going to take some time. To get to where he was had developed over a lifetime thus far.

Powerful!
Now Andrew has a lot more work ahead to transform his lifestyle and make it stick in all the areas he wants but this early success intrinsically sets a solid foundation for the path he was starting down.

When you do you’ll be delivering “priceless” value. Your client will perceive each instance with greater value than merely the time you spend with them. Not only will their commitment and effort deepen and stick but you’ll open the opportunity to evolve your offers to your clients so that you …..
