Option 1
Seekers of Highest Good $5000/mo
This is a pure life coaching process. While meaningful work is one
application of a purposeful life, a change in career may or may not be
indicated. Excellence can be achieved in many varied work, business and
life settings.
Summum bonum philosophy and theology to remind us of the ultimate
end which we as human beings ought to pursue. This involves a life
where introspection and intellectual contemplation result in virtuous
activity formed by practiced habits.
Knowledge is not enough. To become virtuous one does not just study
virtue. Rather, that person must prove to be virtuous by doing virtuous
activities. Happiness, well-being, financial victories, spiritual vitality, and
social fullness may be desired characteristics. Like virtue, they must be
studied, but more importantly, they must be lived out to experience
successful living.
35 !"#$ **
Career & Life
ADDITIONAL NOTES
This process typically involves identifying success in 7 different areas of your life.
Only after clarifying what success means to you can we then determine what
work model and application is best. Direct connection consists of three one-hour
coaching sessions each month, with open-ended email contact on an ongoing
basis.
You may be considering coaching because:
! Youre being stretched in knowledge, skills, confidence or resources
! You are committed to accelerating your success
! You need course correction or have never been sure of purposeful direction
! You want to improve meaningful relationships in your life
! Your success has positioned you for some unfamiliar challenges
! You havent identified your core personality traits and how to embrace and
leverage those
! There has been an unexpected or unwelcome change in your life
! You are searching for your unique purpose or calling
! You are moving from being controlled by circumstances to creating your future
I recommend a 3-month minimum engagement. At the end of six
months of continuous coaching a full day at your home or place of
business can be arranged. Alternately, you may schedule a weekend at
The Sanctuary in Franklin, TN.
My value as a coach must ultimately be judged by the success which you
achieve.
Option 2
The Eagles Club $4500
To the American Indians, the Eagle is the most revered of all animals
because it serves as the messenger between man and God, and
symbolizes the freedom that arises when one is deeply connected to the
divine. In both the Hebrew and Christian faiths the eagle represents the
flight of the soul to heaven. It is the symbol of faith the connection
with the seen and the unseen. If we are to tap the wisdom and
resources of God, we can learn from the ways of the Eagle.

Career & Life
ADDITIONAL NOTES
The Eagles Club process is a full-on, comprehensive 30-45 day process of one-
on-one Life Planning and is the result of over 20 years of professional consulting
and coaching with successful individuals. Their success and challenges have
helped to identify a conceptual, yet structured, process that will enhance ones
personal sense of balance, focus, confidence and enthusiasm, regardless of any
momentary circumstances. This is not about just finding a job. Each of the four
sessions is approximately 2 hours in length and includes personal work
assignments complementing each interaction. The culmination is the
personalized application, which takes many individualized applications, often
embracing creative skills in ways never before seen as possible.

This process involves identifying success in 7 different areas of your life. Only
after clarifying what success means to you can we then determine what work
model and application is best. Typical successes range from:
Defining ones purpose and calling
Identifying means for translating that purpose into meaningful, fulfilling
and profitable work
Finding new employment at increased pay and better circumstances
Creating and launching a brand new business in a non-traditional
direction
Purchasing a franchise, business opportunity or existing business
Becoming an independent contractor utilizing skills, abilities and
experience
Engaging creative skills to generate residual income or multiple
streams of income
And much more (While not common, sometimes the newfound dream
position is a lowering of income and lifestyle reflecting a more
accurate positioning of the clients own dreams rather than the
continued living out of someone elses expectations.)

The Bumblebee Business or Idea Overview $1075
Scientists state that the bumblebee cannot possibly fly. There is not
enough wing span to overcome the body mass. I find that great ideas are
often viewed in the same way. However, I have found it a continued
source of delight to see ideas develop and flourish while seemingly defying
all common expectations. Requests for this 2-3 hour single session
overview have skyrocketed in the last few months. This is largely due to
the unusual success of our 48 Days business model. I have seven different
streams of revenue, all derived from repurposing the 48 Days to the Work
You Love content. In this intense overview we will look at ways to leverage
your intellectual capital whatever that may be. We can evaluate the use
of franchising, patents, trademarks, publishing, e-products, marketing
strategies, establishing affiliate relationships and other methods of
initiating or growing your business concept. Whether your business is a
traditional bricks and mortar one or one that operates in cyberspace, we
can examine new ways of moving you forward in your journey of success.
