F.A.Q.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What do you charge for your one-on-one services?

A: $1,500.00 per hour. Just kidding. I do not discuss fees until we meet in the exploratory session and the client has a better understanding of the work and the value it would bring to their lives. it would simply be inappropriate. I also have a limited number of spots available for “coaching” so I carefully interview my prospective clients–and like to give a full and complimentary exploratory session. When I say full, I mean up to 90 minutes for free to be sure we are a fit for each other.

Q: What would that process look like?

A: We would have an initial chat on the phone to make sure there is good reason for us to work together–primarily my verification that I can help you achieve Your outcomes. If that seems to be the case, then we schedule a complimentary exploratory session. In that session we go into greater detail about what you want to achieve or resolve. I then talk about my approach and how it can assist you in your outcomes. At that point, we review an agreement and choose to work together–or choose not to. to see if we are a good fit for one another–that is, whether your outcomes are well served by my approach.

Then we discuss fees–which are actually quite reasonable, or so I am told.

Q: Why do you call yourself an Evolutionary Guide? Seems pretty strange. Why not just call yourself a coach?

A: There are two answers to that. The primary answer you will learn in my apprentice program. The second reason is that, well, I am not a coach.  “Evolutionary Guide” simply more accurately describes what I do better than the banal term “coach”. In that vein, while accountability can be part of your relationship to me, ultimately what I do is assist you in not just gaining skill or knowledge, but also evolving your Self; evolving through empirically proven stages in two domains: ego and emotions. How you relate to your Self and how you relate to the events in your life. As you move through these stages you experience greater freedom, ease, self-assurance, increased flexibility, and dramatically shorter “bounce-back” times. Not to mention greater love, self acceptance, and increased efficacy in your results with others. Oh–and you are sustainably happier.

Q: How can you talk about living a spiritual life AND being wealthy–aren’t the two in conflict?

A: They are in most people’s minds. It is one of the first limiting beliefs we help you dissolve. It not only stands in the way of your prosperity, but it sets up unnecessary internal dissonance. What I am suggesting is new thinking–integral thinking–where we integrate our spiritual purpose and come from a place of service and contribution as our grounding. We couple that with free market economics and service-based professions and you have truly ethical wealth where people can become sustainably prosperous with full ethics and integrity. You become wealthy because you are living your purpose–rather than in spite of it

Q: Tell me about your money back guarantee.

A: The guarantee currently only applies to the Coaching the Life Coach Apprentice Program. If, 60 days after completing the program, you are not completely satisfied with the value of the program, you can request a full refund and get it. It is conditioned on two points: 1) that you attended the monthly group intensives, did your assignments for the program, and engaged in your bi-weekly practice sessions; in other words, you participated fully, and 2) that you can look me in the eye and tell me you do not feel it was worth more than you paid for it. It is that simple–and we are that certain you will be stunned at the value in this program.

If you give a deposit and then for some reason think it is not right for you you will still need to wait 60 days after the pilot program to receive that refund. This is for reasons that serve the client that are gone over in detail in the Apprentice Program.

Q: Do you have a sliding scale or would you consider trade or barter for other services?

A: The short answer is: no. I simply do not engage with people who can not at least make the modest payments for these incredible services and products. I take credit cards. If you are that serious about transforming your life and your business, you can borrow the money from someone who believes in you and your future. There are many reasons for that. I wish I could help everyone. My heart goes out to them. That said, I do not do so just for my own self interest. After years of experimentation, I have found that in trade and barter situation, people simply do not relate to the work the same way–on both sides. Even with clients who refer dozens of people to me and make hundreds of dollars through my referral program, I insist on exchanging checks and keeping it separate. We all get more out of the professional relationship–and the relationship is cleaner.

Learning to make the fiscal investment necessary to create success is step 1 in your professional evolution.

Q: I am a recently certified coach or practitioner. Can you really help me build a 6-figure income?

A: Yes. At the same time, the rate at which it happens depends on your skill level and your ability to learn–and turn that learning into action. But ultimately, if you follow my proven model–yes.

Q: I am a body worker [nutritional consultant, somatic therapist, C.M.T., personal trainer, financial services consultant]. You talk a lot about coaches. Does this program apply to me?

A: Yes. The curriculum is written at a level that transcends your particular modality or your particular business. This is done intentionally, consciously, and very carefully. Some things are true for all businesses and modalities in terms of systematic success.

Q: I am not a certified anything. Can you train me as a coach? And can I be in the Apprentice Program?

A: I do not currently certify practitioners, so I do not train you as a coach, a Guide, or anything else. I teach you how to turn your certification and your competence into sustainable prosperity. If you are in training as a coach currently, and are smart enough to already be thinking about the business side of your craft, you can certainly sign up for the apprentice program. However the money back guarantee will not apply to you–as I can not guarantee your skill level or the results you will attain if you end up being unsuccessful at certification–or whether you will want to turn it into a business after your certification

Q: Who are you to teach this? Have you built a 6-figure practice

A: Yes I have. And I did it within about 8 months from a place of nearly zero clients–and have systematically and consistently maintained that level for nearly three years now. It all started with the decision to go for it and make my practice a prosperous one. And yes, I can teach you how. If you have any further doubts about my ability to deliver, please read my bio or contact me with any specific questions or concerns. I am more than happy to engage with you.

  • Testimonial

    The [Evolutionary Sales] program changed my perspective on the sales process. Before the weekend I viewed the sales process as a necessary evil, without which nothing in the world actually gets done.

    Now I see that it is really about exposing values and then aligning them on both sides. I now see how I've been limiting myself through seemingly beneficial restrictions around those types of conversations.

    I enjoyed the way Jason McClain used participant’s questions to drive the material, as well as his effective use of humor to keep the sessions moving and making it feel less like a "class".
