Potential Client: You don’t quite seem hungry for my business.

NP: I’m not

Client:  You aren’t?

NP: I’m not. I’m really not hungry for your business. I do not look at you as a business. I see a person who can go far. I’m thinking if I’m the right person to support you. I’m thinking whether you are truly ready to work on yourself. Are you ready to be uncomfortable to grow?

But that’s just me. As for you, you should think about ‘buying’ coaching just as you would shop for running shoes. Don’t settle at me just yet. Shop around. Try several more. Only ‘buy’ the one that ‘feels’ just right.

You have a long way to run. Do believe, shoes or not, you have it in you to reach there. The shoes will only help you reach faster, with fewer calluses. Know that, I as the shoe, will wear with you.
