šŸ’°To PIF or Not to PIF...šŸ’ø
That question has been around a lot longer than high-ticket sales.
Back in 1582, Willie Shakespeare wrestled with the basically the same idea, "To be, or not to be..."
Different era. Same psychology.
Today, it shows up as: Paid In Full… or payment plan?
Here’s my honest answer—and it’s nuanced. Yes gang, stop f*cking thinking so GD binary!
Mindset #1: With prospects and my teaching
I lean "yes" to PIF. Nearly always.
Not because it’s ā€œbetterā€, but because—as a general rule—PIF signals something deeper:
COMMITMENT.
When someone pays in full, they remove the mental 'safety net.'
No ā€œI’ll see how it goes.ā€
No half-in, half-out bullshit.
Some programs require that level of buy-in. And that’s not manipulation—it’s alignment.
The work demands seriousness. The buy-in enforces it.
Pay 100%, or be gone.
Mindset #2: In my own coaching and mentorship
Different stance.
I’m far more flexible.
Why? Because I don’t want money to become the barrier between someone and the closer—or the person—they’re capable of becoming.
If someone has the discipline, the intent, and the work ethic, I’m willing to meet them halfway.
Because growth isn’t always linear.
And potential doesn’t always show up with a perfect credit card swipe.
So no dogma here. No one-size-fits-all 'rule.'
Just a principle:
Commitment matters. Context matters. And INTEGRITY matters more than optics.
Sometimes the strongest ā€œyesā€ isn’t about how you pay— It’s about whether you actually show up once you do.
The world is 'gray', stop thinking in absolutes. We have enough of that bullshit in politics and religion. And it serves NO ONE.
