How many times have you opted for the cheaper option, only to find that despite the saving, you didn’t get what you were expecting? Or, when you’ve only bought part of the program, to then realise that what you really needed was the other option? While it’s ok to be frugal with things that ultimately really aren’t that important; why in all common sense and wisdom would you take the cheap option when it comes to creating the life you want; overcoming your greatest limiting beliefs; or enhancing your most important relationships? You just wouldn’t, would you?
A few weeks ago, during a meeting with a business owner who was interested in my reputation for massive personal transformation, I was asked if I offered different levels of service. You know the type of thing, the run of the mill “Gold, Silver and Bronze” models you see if you’re looking at split level support service such accounting or IT. Before I could respond the business owner suggested: “because If you don’t you should, as its good to have investment options!” I lowered my head slightly, studying intently.
All that glitters is not gold!
Now, the conversation took place in a very stylish office, filled with fine fixtures, top of the line gadgets and had a great view over the city centre, so here was someone who had no hesitation in paying for what they perceived to be worth it. Yet, they were positioning themselves as wanting to have options at the level of investment, and as a result, the level of service they could take up. I sat there a few seconds, my mind and senses absorbing and reading his body, cleaning up the language he used, eliciting the strategy of his thinking and rooting to that which he may not himself yet be aware of.
You see, I don’t deal in portions! I don’t compromise on what the real source of problems are, play service to ego, providing a temporary high or applying a mental sticky-plaster to an emotional wound that will continue to weep and seep inside, denying you who you truly are and what you can truly become. So there are no cheaper options or lower level services in my world of transformation. While the length of engagement we experience together may vary depending on the range of areas in your life you wish to transform, the depth and degree to which we work is limitless.
How about 50% OFF for Half the Result?
I challenge any coach or consultant who claims to be able to make massive difference in a business owner’s world, to explain how they can do so at any level that isn’t 100% Pure Platinum. At a level that doesn’t fully commit to the delivery of what is to me, a personal promise! Of course, I’m not going to guarantee it won’t be uncomfortable, or that there won’t be times when you’ll fight like hell to hold on to the familiarity of what it is you know, no matter how much it holds you back. But know this, if you are serious about massive sustainable change, you will commit as will I, to getting the results you really want, even if you don’t know them yet.
Sometimes you just have to say good-bye!
When it comes to my passion and the sharing of the gifts and skills I have spent decades perfecting, I neither dilute nor detract from what needs to be done, just as you should never compromise on your own transformation. When it comes to finding the right mentor, the right teacher or guide to a new enhanced way of operating, it’s important above all else that you trust the level of investment they have in you, as much as you are willing to invest in them.
In this particular case, it was evident that the collection of things, symbols and status were far more worthy pursuits than any personal transformation, and therefore they were unlikely to do what it takes in honesty, vulnerability and self-awareness to change. It’s an uncommon practice to walk away from a deal in these testing economic times, but as I said, I don’t deal in compromise and you should never discount your destiny.

My only regret in working with Stevie Kidd so far is that
I wish I had started to do so 10 years ago. If you want a coach who will pat
you on the back say it's all going to be alright whilst whispering gentle words
of encouragement then look somewhere else. If you want a supportive coach who
will really challenge every fibre of your being, shock your system, elevate
your thinking and aspirations and take you on a journey that will propel you to
another level then Stevie is the man that I would wholeheartedly recommend!
