After reviewing your website, newsletters, calls, and purchasing your cd program \u201cFirst Fifty Clients\u201d I found inspiration and desire to take action on passions that I had almost let expire. I designed a website, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">opened a new <\/span><\/em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>vegan cafe<\/em><\/span><em> <\/em><em>and went to the public with my coaching. (I had previously only coached family and friends). I have received great emotional rewards from serving others.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>However, I had always felt uncomfortable asking for compensation. Now I know that it\u2019s okay and have <\/em><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">several new paying clients<\/span> that truly appreciate my services. And I\u2019m just getting started! <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I am finally <\/em><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">opening a wellness center<\/span> that I had put off for almost 11 years. I see victory ahead!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I look forward to inspiring others, just as you have inspired me. Thank you, David!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Wendy Brand, Veggout.net<br \/>\nOntario, Canada<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><br \/>\n(Editors note: Vickie Spencer, below, has chosen the voice dialogue method of communicating with some form of our &#8216;higher self&#8221;. While Vickie uses the name God, you should use whatever name works for you &#8211; Sage, Spirit, Wisdom, Reality, Univers etc.)<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;V: God, I just want to take a moment and thank you for my coaching practice \u2013 whatever shape it\u2019s taken, the up\u2019s and down\u2019s, I just wanted to thank You.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>G: You\u2019re welcome. Anything else?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>V: Yes. I wanted to thank you for some of the resources You led me to four years ago. I was \u00bd way through coach training and realized I don\u2019t know business, and the training wasn\u2019t teaching me. So, I believe You led me to First Fifty Clients and 10 Super Coaches by SolutionBox.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>G: Why do you think I led you?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>V: Because I have never felt taken advantage of by David Wood or his resources. I\u2019ve always felt that he gave more than he promised, and I\u2019ve always been able to put everything into practice, it wasn\u2019t just theoretical. I could have spent hundreds or thousands of dollars and gotten very little, so I think You sent me to David\u2019s resources.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>G: And what have you done with it?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>V: Well, I think You know, but I\u2019ll play along! I decided to not get discouraged once training ended and actually put feelers out there for free sessions. I saw myself as having something of value to share with others and to not let money stand in the way and have the courage to negotiate it. I also felt grounded in reality \u2013 that I wasn\u2019t going to make 6 figures my first year and that was okay, so I was free to take the baby steps to move in some people\u2019s lives.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>G: Like who?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>V: Well, if I didn\u2019t have David\u2019s resources I couldn\u2019t have helped the woman leaving for Mozambique make the most of her last 5 months here, who didn\u2019t pay me full price, but paid me more than half of what I asked. Or, I wouldn\u2019t have been able to talk with the business woman who appeared to have it all together, but couldn\u2019t get her house cleaned because she was losing motivation in life because she was facing an empty nest in a few months.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>G: I knew you\u2019d do really well with both of them. I really like them.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>V: Or, the woman living in Turkey who was going through coach training but wanted to be coached and firm up personal foundations so she could be authentic in her life, let alone her coaching.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>G: She\u2019s doing really well now.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>V: And there were so many others. Because I could help them, I have been able to define success for myself which I thought was just money.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>G: It ISN\u2019T???? What else could there possibly be? (wink wink)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>V: I think money is really important and I think if you don\u2019t have enough, it\u2019s hard to think bigger. So, using David\u2019s resources have helped me connect to the clients that <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">financially support me<\/span>. But, success (although it includes money), also includes using my skills and abilities to help others as You lead them to me, that I have the tools to be able to reach out and help them trust that I\u2019m not going to take advantage of them, and the wisdom to know when a client isn\u2019t right for me &#8211; and say no. That whole ability to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">move in confidence<\/span> and freedom brings me great joy.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>G: It brings Me joy to watch you in your \u201cflow\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>V: Well, thanks for helping me find the right resources from SolutionBox and clients!!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>G: You\u2019re welcome.
