@Adam McCollough Since you are asking for honesty, it is only worthless if that is your mindset. I don't listen to the mass amount of "experts" who have a fixed mindset around this. I have experienced the profound aspect of what it looks and feels like when people value things for free. For most people in the rooms I've been in with them, it was never about "free." Yet so many in the online space act as if that experience is wrong for the industry, and doesn't fit, or it simply does not exist. It does, and it can be absolutely beautiful, and life changing. For the 1% that came because it was free, they still valued it, they were literally hungry. A lot of things have been ingrained and on repeat for decades, but at what point do we pause, take a look around, a re-assess the situation live, with our own eyes. Things have changed. Quite frankly, there are people who do not want to work with people at a perceived "lower level" because they have been conditioned to believe it will impact their positioning and access to the opportunity pipeline. If that is the only reason they are doing what they are doing, it will, but I don't see you in that category. We talk about a lot, but one thing that isn't discussed is classism, and how industry standards no longer fit today's real world needs, including spending and energy habits. They aren't what they used to be, and unless one stays in the same pool until it ultimately dries up because they are too conditioned to get out of it, it's become almost like living in the Truman Show of online coaching, until you find the way out. Do you want to offer something for $600 or are you stuck because of who told you to do it? I genuinely love Goose, not trying to knock him personally, but I know what it's like to be torn based on who gave the advice. 🪿💚 You could do a mix of all three, and open up a specific time of the month where you make the $97 offer available. This way, you could level up and not give up on your original vision, and lessen the gaps. Also, do you really want the vibe of that offer to be "Cheap." If I am buying time with you, I don't consider you, cheap, in any capacity. Language is important, it is also energy!

@Adam McCollough Being able to offer people help that is 100% free is actually a privildege. I want to recognize that, and while I am grateful that I can do that, because of a few different reasons, and when what is working against me, becomes something that is for me -- I fully support people getting paid for their work. I love the idea of having a few different options, maybe you could set up tiers like an a la carte menu and have people be able to choose, and use the results of that over the next few months to really hone what is working and what isn't. Either way, I look forward to seeing what shapes up for you!

Who are the RE's in here? Is there a list.

@Adam McCollough Thank you!

Woo hoo! Congratulations @Adam McCollough

I want more time, and while I can't make more time, making more money can also come with a cost of precious time gone before you have a chance to look up. In the blink of an eye, it seems like ten years can go by quick. Optimization and balance are important!

@Adam McCollough me neither. I don't want to be wishing I spent more time outside listening to the birds instead of stuck to my computer. Don't get me wrong, I love helping people, but nurturing my soul needs to be more prioritized I think. Your posts remind me of that, it's one of the reasons I enjoy them so much. I'm 43, and surely not getting any younger! In a blink, time flies these days...

It looks great, I enjoy reading these updates and following along with your process and vision.
