2. FEATURE: How to Save $3000 on Your Coach Training

When I heard about Terri’s coaching kit, I had to take a look.

Why? Because nowhere before now have I been able to find a school willing to release its entire training curriculum at an affordable price! You had to sign up for their full training costing thousands of dollars.

I thought of this a couple of years ago. I even mentioned it to the Board of Directors at my old training school, but we had other priorities at the time.

Many coaches are self-motivated. They want to train – but to do it at their pace. Coaches want to devour training materials when and where they want to, instead of being tied to a training schedule. And – they want it at an affordable price.

Or – they want to study a school’s training in-depth before making the big decision to enroll in a certified training program (which can cost big bucks).

So wouldn’t it be great to get an entire dump of a school’s training curriculum for under $1000!?

Finally I’ve found a school that has done just this, and here’s my review of their product…

Review of ‘The Deluxe Comprehensive Coaching Home Study Course’

Terri is a Master Certified Coach with the ICF, which is largely why I looked at the product in the first place. The founder of the Coaching Institute (a training school), she has created a whole self-study training package including manual, books, audio, video and other resources.

With this Deluxe Home Study Course you can get a school’s entire curriculum for under $1,000 – which so far, I haven’t found anywhere else.

The kit is also a nice way to check out Comprehensive U’s whole curriculum, before upgrading to their Certified Training Program. The point is, you have the choice.

There also seems to be a lot of support for building your business, as well as training in the techniques of coaching. The package includes a year’s worth of e-mail coaching with Terri herself, plus a customised critique of your marketing plan and materials.

My Investigation

In deciding whether or not to recommend this to my subscribers, I first bought it myself so I could thoroughly check it out. I liked the package and found the Curriculum Manual in particular to be very comprehensive. And – I asked a good friend and Coach Luke MacDonald to review the materials in depth to ensure this is also great value for the money from a new coach’s perspective.

He was very positive and sent me this email:

“The mass of information covered in the manual was unbelievable! I enjoyed the audio cassettes and videos the most. All of this combined with the 12 months coaching support and marketing critique from Terri Levine equals a package that really is great value for money.”
Luke MacDonald

After reviewing the product, SolutionBox is delighted to partner with Terri to promote ‘The Deluxe Comprehensive Coaching Home Study Course’.

Fee and Guarantee

The whole package costs US$997. Shipping seems very reasonable. Like most internet products it’s loaded with lots of free bonuses – and these look pretty solid to me.

As usual for me, the guarantee is the clincher. Terri offers a full two week money back guarantee. So you can feel safe getting the kit, immerse yourself in it, and get a refund within 14 days if you do not love it. (You pay for return postage which I believe is fair).

Upgrade Option to the Full Certified Training

If you’re thinking of getting ‘The Deluxe Comprehensive Coaching Home Study Course ‘ as a way of “auditioning” this school i.e. as a prelude to joining their Certified Training Program – I think that’s a very smart move.

You’ll get to see their style, their customer service, and have some contact with Terri before making your upgrade decision. And Terri has assured me you won’t pay the full training fee if you upgrade – just the difference between the training fee and the coaching kit price.

Plus – the Coaching Home Study Course gives you a 14 day back-door (guarantee) while the certified training doesn’t. By getting the Home Study Course first you keep your options nice and open.

2. FEATURE: Impossible Love?

This is an excerpt from Warrior of the Light by Paulo Coelho:

For the Warrior there is no such thing as an impossible love.

He is not intimidated by silence, indifference, or rejection.  He knows that behind the mask of ice that people wear, there beats a heart of fire.

This is why the Warrior takes more risks than other people.  He is constantly seeking the love of someone, even if that means often having to hear the word “no”, returning home defeated and feeling rejected in body and soul.

A Warrior never gives in to fear when he is searching for what he needs.  Without love, he is nothing.

3. The Personal Touch

I’m in my new home! (video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhAhq9bjrVM ) I’ve been traveling for 10 months out of the last 13! And I’m now happy to stay put for a while.

The retreat with the speakers and authors of www.tlc8.com in hawaii was powerful, leading me to question my purpose. (Recording of purpose discussion available on facebook.) The result was me declaring ‘Serve the World Mondays’ for the next 3 months, where I contribute to others regardless of revenue.

I’m still testing book titles, have a great book agent, and Jack Canfield has kindly agreed to right the foreword. (Awesome!)

We also have at least 5 projects we’re busily working on to generate revenue – quite a few product launches coming up.

And I’m single and ready to date again! What lovely women there are here in San Fran 🙂

Love,

David

Update from the TLC retreat in Hawaii

I’ve been feeling like a total unworthy slacker around these people.

One woman is helping with clinical trials healing autistic kids with vibration, and doing a documentary with Bill Cosby.

Another friend is pulling in $175,000 a MONTH from selling a meditation product.

Yet another friend has created a multi-million dollar business in 2 years!

The good news is:

– the bar has been raised (like to the moon). What i think it possible is shifting.

– Janet Attwood and Marci Shimoff have said kindly yes to a book endorsement. Lisa Nichols is a maybe, and Jack Canfield has a copy of the manuscript and will decide if he’s going to write the foreword.

– I’ve made some lovely personal connections.

And – I’ve decided to carve time out each week to work on projects I think will make a difference, regardless of revenue. It could be volunteering at a soup kitchen, or setting up the anxiety teleclass, or developing my new ’emotional firewalking’ niche. In fact – I’m doing a teleclass this Thursday to discuss this very topic – stay tuned for the invite.

And then there’s the snorkeling with fish and turtles, whale watching, and hopefully tomorrow – dolphins!

2. FEATURE: How I Got Started

A major business magazine is talking about publishing my story early this year. I enjoyed their questions and writing the answers, and realized many readers have an interest in how I got started in the business.

Here are my answers to this journalist; I hope you find them useful:

1) How did you get started?

I was in a cushy consulting job on Park Avenue – helping multinationals with their international pension fund arrangements. Sexy, hmm? I was an actuary with a numbers addiction, and only 1% of the population had any idea what I did.

I did a personal development course with Landmark Education because my marriage was falling apart, and lo – the clouds parted.

I saw people having life changes in three short days, that most people wouldn’t have in a life time. Cynical, actuarial David gradually gave way to a man who saw great possibility for all people – beyond what most can imagine.

I quit my consulting job and started handing out business cards that said “life coach”. When I had 23 clients in 5 countries, making 6 figures working 2 days a week on the phone, I found new coaches and other professionals flocking to me to find out how to build a successful coaching practice using the internet.

Now I show all professionals how to share their gift with the world using the internet. And how to automate it, so they serve the world while they sleep, freeing up their time for other things that get the soul juiced up! From my laptop, I shout my message to 91 countries, encouraging people to escape their wage slavery and do the same.

2) Why did you choose the business you’re in?

As mentioned above, I was blown away by what was possible in people’s lives. I realized I was naturally coaching people anyway; I just wasn’t getting paid for it. I found I had a natural flair for marketing and a talent for training and writing. I couldn’t stop coaching people if I tried. I combined these with my nerdy internet genes and an online business was born.

3) What are your goals for 2009?

There are so many!

  • Launch my new book to best-seller status: “THE WEALTHY GYPSY How to travel the world, serve others, and get paid for it” (still playing with the title).
  • Use the book as an excuse to do a national talk-show and radio tour to build profile and sales and reach more people.
  • Have Richard Branson write the foreword to the book.
  • Develop a $15,000 product.
  • Develop a 3 day retreat/bootcamp.
  • Develop a high end coaching program for The Wealthy Gypsy training.
  • Write four more books.
  • Deliver 4 speeches to audiences over 1000, selling $300,000 in training at each.
  • Increase my rate of taking ideas to reality by a factor of 10. How? By posting ALL internal projects on a web site, and inviting my 70,000 subscribers to either volunteer for, or manage a project. Some will receive product in exchange, some will be paid cash, and some will share in the profits. This project (in progress) can be viewed at www.solutionbox.com/mindmap/index.pdf (by publishing date this will be fully functional with application forms).
  • Live communally with friends for 3 months out of the year.

2. FEATURE: Make Decisions

This is an excerpt from Warrior of the Light by Paulo Coelho:

The Warrior hears someone say: “I need to understand everything before I can make a decision.  I want to have the freedom to change my mind.”

The Warrior regards these words suspiciously.  He too enjoys that freedom, but this does not prevent him from taking on a commitment, even if he does not know quite why he does so.

A Warrior of Light makes decisions.  His soul is as free as the clouds in the sky, but he is committed to his dream.  On his freely chosen path, he often has to get up earlier than he would like, speak to people from whom he learns nothing, make certain sacrifices.

His friends say: “You’re not free.”

The Warrior is free.  But he knows that an open oven bakes no bread.

3. The Personal Touch

After packing for a 10 day trip in July, and ….um…..never returning,
I find I’m sick of travelling! It’s been 6 months, and I’m very happy to have landed in San Francisco. I have quite a few friends here, and am making new ones – everyone is very friendly.

After a week of house hunting for a rental, I’ve found a gorgeous rental in Mill Valley that I intend to buy. (So much for 6 months of hard house hunting!)

I’ve posted and pics and videos at www.davidsfacebook.com

I took another tumble with the ex which didn’t work out. The good news is: I got out easier this time, with less attachment. I think I might actually be learning something.

Regarding the book, I have an awesome agent who will now shop it around, and we’re still tweaking to find the perfect title. Jack Canfield has agreed to take a look and may write the foreword. I’m off to Hawaii to the TLC retreat (www.TransformationalLeadershipCouncil.com) and will collect more endorsements, hang with some cool people, and swim with dolphins. Then it’s back to move in, take receipt of my STUFF (Man have I missed my bed!) from New York, hunt for a roommate, and prepare for a house warming party!

Love David
