Some research into COACHING, consulting, and conferences.

But it isn't coaching, but more of a training. One BIG difference between all of the above, every single offer to turn you into a coach, calls for you to learn, use, apply and replicate THEIR SYSTEM, their methods, their process.

And maybe it works for small business, to get systems in place, a cookie cutter, same here as there approach might work (if the business commits to it)...but when you take that

ONE SIZE FITS ALL, Off OUR rack, do it this way type of training, it falls apart at the one person level,

And that is the GJA-SQ1 advantage. CUSTOMIZED, one of a kind training comes from using the tools of the SQ1, as it is done by the individual.

So, how much should my GJA-SQ1 CERTIFICATION cost? And as a money making opportunity, where would it fit on the spectrum of investing in your business of between 69.95 and 140,000 thousand dollars?

Just wondering.

Hi Gordon,

I think the way I would look at it as a potential client would be, how much could I make? Obviously, the more I could make, the more it is worth...

Of course, coaches themselves charge a hugely varying amount - and I'm not so familiar with the "standard" rate. However, if people believe they can make $100 an hour, it might be worth a certain amount. If they believe they can make $200 an hour, it might be worth more. Etc.

Just some thoughts off the old noodle...

Best wishes,

Dien

The 500k a year to over 7 figure consultant, is at 10k a day rate or more.

Some of those Certifications I wrote about have the people in that range, not the 69.95 certificate guys, unless they are Bernie Madoffs (HA)

I like to use 60 to 120 k a year as good goals for a new one man band business, or 5 to 10 thousand a month. $1,250 a week or 250 a day, is a low end goal, in my opinion for a new start-up, a one man band.

500 a day, shouldn't be difficult for a good consultant, since you also follow Colin Theriot, you saw he just this week did 4 one hour phone calls at 300 bux each for a nice 1200 dollar, 4 hour work day.

IF he wanted to lose money, he could probably do that every day, but for a new person to have a service which people will pay for, I think there would be a ready market.

One thing about biz-op, the modified GJA Pareto (I think 90/10 not 80/20) is in full effect. One in ten is going to be the top, and the other 9 will get average results, so it would be important to make it easier for the 9 to get to a decent goal with less than the 10% person's effort.

More on this later.

You're right in line with some of the best marketing minds in the world. Perry Marshall and Dan Kennedy say 80/20 is no longer sufficient, that 90/10 is more like it. Perry thinks it might even go as high as 95/5.

Are you sure they (some of the best marketing minds in the world) aren't finally catching up to ME?

Let's go back 25 years and take a look, eh?
