Neagle                 Code Question


Hi David!

I hear you teaching about the pitfalls of exchanging time for money. I’m a coach… how on Earth do I NOT exchange time for money, when I’M the person who is fulfilling my programs?

I’m clearly confused. Can you please clarify?

Thanks!

Neagle                                               Code Answer

Hi and thanks for the question!


What you want to get away from is trading dollars per hour in your business.

Instead of having an hourly rate, you have a package price. Determine how much your product or service is worth based on the result they are receiving, not how much time you are spending with them.


You can charge whatever you want as long as the outcome for the client is worth more to them in value than you receive in cash.


Working with a group of people rather than individuals is also a great way to leverage your time. You serve more people and earn more money spending the same amount of time as you would with one person.

And remember time spent one-on-one with you is always worth much, much more!

You’re the expert in your business.

Be creative, have fun and charge what you’re worth.

Just Believe,®

YOU’VE LEARNED THE STRATEGIES… SO WHY ARE YOUR RESULTS STILL STUCK?

You’re taking action. You’ve invested in programs, attended seminars. And yet you’re not breaking through. Good months are followed by setbacks, and the momentum you know is possible never quite sticks.

At this stage, plateau isn’t caused by lack of knowledge. It’s caused by hidden patterns—fear, resistance, outdated self-image—that quietly sabotage your decisions, your sales, and your leadership.

This May, I’m hosting a two-day intensive in Charlotte, NC where we’ll uncover the exact patterns capping your growth and strip away the fear keeping you stuck at your current ceiling.

And because business growth isn’t just about mindset, Steph Tuss is teaching a special marketing session on the latest business-building tactics that are working now. She’ll also answer your most pressing marketing questions.

If you’re ready to stop the breakthrough-and-setback cycle and create sustained momentum, this is where it starts.
