Q: Why do you suggest a (3) three month minimum of coaching?
A: Under certain conditions, one (1) session is all that is necessary. This is usually someone who has gone through coaching or facilitation and just needs a
maintenance checkup so to speak. However, if you’ve not gone through this process before and are new to the joy and wonder of having a “coach”, it is advisable to
have at the minimum a (3) three month program*. Within (3) three months, you will take steps that are comfortable and only accelerated in pace when you and your
coach agree you are ready. During that time, you will be taking on your life in a new way that works quite differently than probably the way you were previously taught.
Your perspective may change over this process and that is what is needed to “act” within your purpose. You are realigning your purpose with your bliss. To be able to
have someone rooting for you and coaching you through is such an experience that the time will go by quite quickly once the catalyst is set in motion. Another thing is
that everything born requires a “gestation period”. When we are planting a new seed that we want to grow, we have to learn new ways to nourish that seed. The most
wonderful thing is that with consistency, you will find this almost effortless as you move in a more motivationally empowering way.
Q: Why is this different from other clinical therapeutic programs?
A: First of all, hardly any life coaches are practicing psychotherapists, psychiatrists,etc. This is not a “getting to know your pain so you can feel it again” type of
program. Coaching is a transitional bridge from where you are to where you are going. We’ve all had heartfelt incidents in our past. If we keep going there, how are
we going to get here, now? That is not to say that you won’t feel compassion with a Life Coach. You’ll probably feel more compassion than you ever before remember
experiencing. The difference is as a coach, I look to see where you can heal, not where you are hurt. As I tell people who ask me what makes this different and so
unique, “I don’t want to know where you’ve been unless it has something to do with where you are going.”
Q: Why do you suggest meditation? What is meditation?
A: Meditation is a major part of our beings as humans. We reflect all the time. The idea here is to "allow" ourselves clear thinking, clear consciousness so that we
may be able to identify with what our true bliss is and how to obtain it. The idea of "meditation" is eastern in origin, but not the practice itself. There are many benefits to
meditation. Meditation also calms the mind and relaxes the soul. Prayer is a form of meditation. Communication with universal consciousness can "bring in" to oneself
through stillness ideas and actions that otherwise would not have been thought of only working with the ego. When we shut down the constant noise from external
sources, we find that small, wee voice becomes like a compass guiding us to our greatness and power from within. Life coaching works with that small voice that seldom
gets heard. Life coaching supports action and motivation on that voice and compass with proper navigation to fulfill your purpose and follow your passion blissfully and
effortlessly. However, if that small voice is destructive or negative, you may wish to identify it and bring it in the open so that you can release it and move forward more
positively. Of course, Life Coaching is not a program for someone who has issues that are overly emotional rendering them incapable of action. That is for a more
medical approach and this is not the venue for that. In groups, this can be a powerful exchange of energy that is supportive and nurturing towards the goals of the
group or individuals.
Q: How do you pick a “genuine coach”?
A: Check their credentials. They usually do have some affiliation or resource directory they belong to. If not, ask them for references. A Life Coach has usually
had some background in the subject they are coaching. If you feel good about your preliminary conversation or consultation, you may just go with your gut and then
check. There are many ways to choose a Life Coach. I like the one “listen to your gut”. You want a coach that empowers you, not one who although they may be nice,
doesn't motivate you. The very first time you don’t feel right, make an adjustment or seek someone else out . Remember, your intuition is a very strong indicator too.
Q: (1) Why aren’t all fees the same? (2)Why are some so dramatically different for seemingly the same services?
A: (1) There are many different coaches for many different fields. As this is a growing field that is crossing all borders from the board rooms to the single individual,
there are certain criteria and approaches depending on each one or groups needs. At Follow Your Bliss, we try to keep pretty consistent with our fees, however, we do
leave an opening should someone require something that adds to the expense of the service we provide.
(2) Well, I suppose eventually this field will be regulated to some extent. Be careful, there are some charlatans that only want your money and won’t give much in
return. There are also good reasons why they are so dramatically different based on geography. Life Coaches are all over the country and even expanded into other
countries as well. As a member of ICF, I was amazed at how much we’ve grown from the small few. Someone new to coaching may not charge as much and give the
same if not better service. Think with your head and your gut.
Q: What makes “Follow Your Bliss, LLC” different from other coaching programs?
A: The difference is “value” and “dedication”. I am with you every step. Imagine having a twin, (if you don’t have one already); that wants for you what you want for
you. I am a member of one of the most prestigious Life Coaching groups in existence. Their code of ethics mirror my own in providing the utmost service, the utmost
confidence and the utmost care in you pursuing your goal and being there for you during the transition. I also provide a (3) three or six (6) month program* that is in the
process of having its own resources and services that are endorsed or manufactured for “Follow Your Bliss” (see Bliss Sticks on Products Page)so you don’t have to
“web surf” for products. We are in pursuit and growing! As we grow, we can offer more discounts, more products and more services to our clients. *Any client enrolled
in the Life Coaching program receives a 15% product discount on FYB's Bliss Sticks! Please email for a copy of brochure and information to be sent to you via mail.
Due to the amount of requests for a separate, more fulfilling spiritual experience, we will soon be offering a six (6) month coaching program on "aligning the spirit"
separately from the original program. This will include false beliefs and behavioral programming while balancing the chakras and being more in tune with the objective
reality. We will still include spiritual attributes in the regular program. However, the spiritual program will be more centered in spiritual growth concepts and techniques,
thereby assisting the client to obtain a more enriching life.
We are also expanding to include products and services to our small business owners and entrepreneurs! For the first few months, a member of our staff will publish an
article that is written exclusively for “Follow Your Bliss” Our advisor, the "Dollar Llama"is a CFA (chartered financial analyst) and has years of experience in the stock
market on and off Wall Street and as a consultant for business owners. You will find his articles informative, useful and insightful and at times, humorous. If you are
truly serious about your finances or starting a business, I encourage you to visit his page for valuable information that can assist you in your endeavors towards
personal and business finances.
Follow Your Bliss has also been speaking with a representative of Send Out Cards (SOC). This is a wonderful new company that enables businesses to keep a
database while marketing and expanding their customer base! This is also a wonderful tool for coaches or anyone needing a "bridge" financially while they are building
their business. We are both a distributor and seller of this product. I have recently decided to help home based businesses with my own product line "FYB's Bliss
Sticks". Please email for more information and criteria.
