Would you like a FULL scholarship to my upcoming program?
I just opened up a contest where one business owner will receive a FULL
scholarship to my upcoming Client Mastery Blueprint program.
(In case you haven’t read up on what Client Mastery Blueprint is all about,
you can do so here:
http://www.ClientMasteryBlueprint.com/program
Why am I giving away a place, when there are a very limited number places in this program and we’re nearly half sold out?
It’s because I wanted to help someone who could really use this powerful coaching to take a big leap forward in their business. In my very first program I gave a free scholarship, and I was absolutely touched and inspired by the note I received from the recipient afterwards. So I know how a “lucky break” like this can make a difference in someone’s life.
Here’s What To Do
1. Post your entry in the comments section below, answering these 3 questions:
- What results do you want for your business in 12 months?
- How will Client Mastery Blueprint help you get there?
- Why is it that you should be chosen?
(NOTE: Be sure to put include your email address when you are filling out the comment form, so that we can contact you).
2. You can post your entry as text or as a YouTube video. We know that some people are better at writing, some are better at speaking. Just be sure to include a your YouTube link in your blog comment.
3. I’ll review all entries and select the person that clearly communicates the clearest vision and most compelling inspiration for making a big step forward in their business.
4. Put your entry in the comments section by midnight, Monday, October 19th.
I’ll select the winner and let him or her know by Wednesday, October 21th - hopefully you’ll be the one!
What You Win
You win a FULL scholarship for the Client Mastery Blueprint gold membership
(this program is worth $10,278).
If you win, be prepared to follow through and be an active and fully committed participant in the Client Mastery Blueprint program.
This is an amazing opportunity to attend a 6-month, hands-on coaching and training program filled with practical how-to guidance so you can attract all of the clients that you want while doing what you love. I’m teaching my own system for attracting and retaining clients so you’re going to get exactly what you need to make a big jump forward and generate more revenue for your business.
If you haven’t read up on what Client Mastery Blueprint is all about, you can do so here:
http://www.ClientMasteryBlueprint.com/program
What this all boils down to: you’ll be learning the same mindsets, strategies, and action steps I’ve used to create a business in which I brought on 4 other coaches to help me serve all of the prospects and clients I attract. This is a gift that I can’t wait to share with you.
Good luck!
Bill
PS Go ahead and do your entry now - even if yours doesn’t win, I’ll honor your intention and commitment with a special gift.
So no matter what happens, you win!

1. Results I want for my business in 12 months: I want my business to be known as “The Good Neighbor” who takes care of homes. As part of that “Good Neighbor” image I want to know the client’s home better than they know it. In other words I want the business to be structured in such a way that every bit of information about the home is put into an easy to get place so that I can access the information on all aspects that I touch. This is the retention part of the business. By having this attention to detail a client will find it pleasurable to go with my business.
2. Client Mastery will help through close analysis of how I’m spending my time. Currently my day is akin to a leaf blowing in the wind… I see that when I take control of a day that I get more accomplished and that I know how to take care of the clients better than they do. It’s very similar to raising children. My children don’t have the experience to make adult decisions so that leaves me to choose where they live, what schools they go to and what they eat. Clients have the similar quality of children in that for the most part they don’t have the experience. Unless it’s a business to business relationship most clients don’t have the experience to conduct the business of working with a general contractor. I could create better service and create more time if I take charge of this decision making process.
3. I have many years of experience with two types of businesses. The first being an inventory based business, Goldsmithing and the second being a service based business which is the general contracting world. It is time to hone those years of experience with the tools of introspection and other business professionals experience. In addition to the years of experience I had the opportunity to attend a business school (Babson) late in life and have found that the analysis tool I gained there very helpful. Taking the client Mastery Blue Print program will combine my work experience along with my schooling into a body of knowledge that can assist in creating the business of my dreams.

• What results do you want for your business in 12 months?
In 12 months, I want to walk into my apartment each night knowing that I have made a positive influence on the greatest number of people possible. I want to have achieved what I have always imagined I would, I want to have touched hundreds (maybe even thousands!) of lives, helping them reach their career goals and dreams! As someone who finally JUST left corporate America (after a decade) to pursue my dream of being a career coach, it is my goal to have a robust, multi-pronged coaching practice in 12 months. I want to have individual clients, workshops, group telecasts and organizational clients!
• How will Client Mastery Blueprint help you get there?
Since I am so new to this business of being an independent coach, my hope is the Client Mastery Blueprint will leap frog me over all the mistakes that I heard coaches make when they first start out. I am hoping that Client Mastery Blueprint can provide me with tools which will help me attract clients, methods for retaining them and assist me with a plan to get there. I think the support of this group will be extremely motivational. I have the energy and drive, but I believe the help of an expert coach and a team will allow me to achieve faster, while giving me a more innovative vision for my business.
• Why is it that you should be chosen?
I have been attending all of the telecasts and I have gotten incredibly excited for the experience of participating in the course. If I am chosen I will give it 100%, being completely present at all sessions, adding to the group when appropriate, listening and supporting others, and will engage my business in the solutions shared. By being chosen I truly believe I will be able to have a greater positive influence on people’s lives and careers than I would without the course.

1. What results do you want for your business in 12 months?
My goal is to have a minimum of one speaking booking and one hold-the-date per month plus one charitable or education gift presentation per month. In order to make that happen, I need to be more focused on how I run my speaking business and how the marketing is done.
2. How will Client Mastery Blueprint help you get there?
One of the topics I speak about is diversity of thinking styles. This diversity is displayed in how a person runs their business. My style is easily distracted, always wants to learn more, never stops asking questions, and finds at the end of the day that planned items didn’t get done. I am my own biggest challenge. I’d love to use your methods to learn to focus and therefor accomplish more.
3. Why is it that you should be chosen?
I am a very accomplished person (PhD, two Masters degrees, author, raised my children mostly as a single parent, worked and attended university and raised children all at the same time) and I still have so much I could learn from you.

1. Results I want for my business in 12 months: In a year, I want to have a secure handle on being know “THE Disabilities (or disAbilities Coach)”. As an individual with lifetime experience with disability and experience in coaching and communications, I want very badly to be the resource I feel I was meant to be to thousands of youth and adults (particularly veterans)experiencing disabilities and the unique stressors they can sometimes bring to life.
I envision becoming something similar to a “Ton(i) Robbins On Wheels,” if you wll, marketing my unique brand of disability motivational speaking, training and other materials to families whose children have disabilities and to adults who are newly experience disabilities due to illness or injury. Having a disability does NOT have to be the end of the road for anyone, but a different bump in the road to new adventures toward fulfillment and success.
2. Client Mastery will help me better turn my shotgun spray of ideas into a better plan of actionable steps so I can brand and market my story and passion for disability life motivation to people who want to live their lives to the fullest regardless of boundaries within and without, chasing life and career passion to the fullest.
3. I have life experience with disability having been born with spina bifida due to exposure to Agent Orange through my biological father’s service in Vietnam. In addition, I was raised the daughter of a proud disabled Coast Guard veteran and have learned from experience how we must never forget the price our veterans pay in body and spirit to uphold our liberties.
Additionally, I have a background in newspaper writing and disability civil rights to round out my motivational skills. I simply need to step outside myself, recognize I can’t do it all myself and get a clear handle on my own road map to success so I can become better equipped to help the most people with the best materials, possibly jumping off from successful training materials already out there to brand my own specialized disability self empowerment materials.
With over 75 million people across the world with disabilities and around 11 million children with disabilities in the U.S. alone who have parents looking for better life/career transition and motivational materials, I KNOW I have a market to speak to and reach who aren’t being adequately reached in other arenas of service.
Please help me realize this dream to do something I’ve not seen accomplished well to help me shift life’s possibilities into reality for the largest minority group crossing all other minority groups who deserve to realize their rightful place as born-to-be successful individuals.
Thank you for your consideration,
Monica J. Foster

Hi There,
I am a cetified Kundalini yoga instructor and the owner of Almotne Yoga. I am also completing a Graduate Degree program in the Department of Law at Carleton in Conflict Resolution. My hopes for my business in the next 12 months would be to reach more clients. I would like to see my business grow and expand to include other instructors and tap into the corporate sector of Health and Wellness.
I believe the client Mastery Blueprint will help me get there because from everything I have read so far this really works. This program seems above and beyond anything that I have seen on the market. I have spent the majority of my time focusing on improving my skill, learning and giving my clients the best service possible. I pride myself on being the best in my field, in my ability to adapt, and my awareness to what is needed in the moment. I have not considered the art of attracting clients and promoting my business. I feel that by tapping into and focusing on this aspect I will be able to serve even more people and be able to contribute much more.
I believe strongly in giving back, serving and contributing however I am able. Recently, I became a research assistant in a Harvard study on the benefits of yoga in Elementary school children. This has involved teaching yoga to grade 5 & 6 children in the school system. I did this on a completely voluntary basis, which also meant becoming Certified in Yoga Ed. I also started up a camp for teen girls for confidence which is non-profit with a couple of friends. It is called C.A.M.P. - confidence always manifest possibilities. I would like to be able to make this available to the teens that need it the most. The website is www.camp4girls.com I have 3 children myself, as well as a teen girl and I see the pressure that they are under - mostly self inflicted! I love teaching simple techniques to help people find their inner, creative self. Everything is easy when you are shown how. If a program like yours can help me to do this and get this information out there than I will take everything that I learn and apply it.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Suzanne Smith

I will also like to have 25 clients in a life-coaching practice,working with them to design and live better lives as opposed to living ‘default futures’
2]Client Mastery will provide me with the mindset,tools and techniques to move from this vision to implement a very practical programme to attract,keep and grow my client base.
3]I should be given this opportunity because I am living in a developing country,where such Training initiatives are crucial to achieving first world status,but unfortunately very limited.Additionally,my formal education,business experience and passion for ‘redesigning lives and organisations’,together with this exposure will make me a better change agent.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:52 pm

When each of us shows up as individuals who have harnessed the potential within, not only will our minds, bodies and spirits be powerful, but also, our children, our homes, our places of business, our nations and our planet will be healthy, we will live in peace and we will enjoy prosperity.
My role is to contribute value and meaning as a coach by supporting individuals through positive transformation and sustainable change leading to their own achievement of personal greatness.”

I am a physician with a patient advocacy consulting business. I empower patients to make informed medical decisions and help them navigate the medical system. Despite my unique niche and warm, holistic approach to patients, I have found it surprisingly challenging to attract patients. The patients that I serve find my services tremendously helpful.
Results that I hope to achieve:
- become a recognized national expert on patient advocacy
- earn higher speaking fees
- attract 2 new patients per month
- increase my patient retention
How Client Mastery Blueprint will help:
- improve my skills in patient attraction and retention
- help focus my professional activities to maximize productivity
- provide professional comaraderie and support
Why choose me?
Health care is a timely issue and my service is both valuable and unique. I am highly qualified to provide it and have begun to get media attention as an expert in patient advocacy. Despite this, I am struggling to attract a consistent stream of patients. I have no doubt that I would benefit from your expertise and my commitment and motivation are strong. Your efforts would not be wasted on me.
Thank you for your consideration.

Hi. I’m candidate #9, #9, #9 (couldn’t help the Beatles reference with all the excitement about the recent remastered releases). I’d like to be the chosen one to receive the scholarship, and here’s why in response to your questions:
What results do you want for your business in 12 months?
I want to quadruple gross revenues year over year through a combination of group workshops, product sales, 1on1 coaching, and affiliate streams of income. Basically I want to achieve massive success. Not for the money (though it will certainly help), but to prove that I’m capable of doing big things with my practice.
How will Client Mastery Blueprint help you get there?
Well, I’m like you 8 years ago. I’m a new coach who knows this is the right field for me to be in. I love it and my current clients really appreciate what I’m able to help them achieve. I need to do more though to make this a business worthy of being a full-time endeavor and career. I’m committed to doing whatever it takes to get to my 12-month vision.
The Client Mastery Blueprint compresses the learning from your last 8 years in to my next six months. Considering that it’s hard to achieve success on a massive scale without benefiting from the experience and teaching of those who have gone before you, I’m very attracted to your process as a catalyst that will move me to take appropriate action repeatedly to reach my 12-month vision.
Why is it that you should be chosen?
I’m no more worthy than anyone else. If you choose me it’s because you have decided to bless me through intuition that I am the one. I will tell you that if chosen, I won’t squander the scholarship. Choose to adopt me as your special pupil and I will take the opportunity and run with it. Thank you.
October 14th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
Hi Bill,
Thank you SO much for opening this contest! You can imagine my excitement, I knew there would be a way. Here are the answers to your questions.
What results do you want for your business in 12 months?
In 12 months from now, I know my business will be exactly where it is ment to be at that time, just as it is now. I don’t have a set number of clients or income in mind, I just know I have to coach people, now. My goal for my business is to help those I am meant to help, and I trust I will know when I have enough. I want to keep things so I am always enjoying what I am doing, as well as my life. 12 months from now I will be living in our new house in the city my husband and I desire to live in, with a thriving business at a level that I am comfortable with. I also know that I am open to knew opportunities, and 12 months is a long time. I just know whatever I am doing at whatever level, I will be completely happy and loving every minute of it!
How will Client Mastery Blueprint help you get there?
I may be seeking the program for different reasons then most. I feel my clients will always find me, I have believed that ever since I woke up, and I have seen it happen, I know it happens.
I want to do this to experience your knowledge and teachings, and I know I have attracted you, for a while now, lol. You have been popping up since June for me. I am meant to be a part of this.
I am crystal clear on my needing to coach, and I attracted you near the start of my journey, and I know you are the one who is going to guide me on how to share my gift so that I can use it to its full potential. I feel you can help me understand what happened to me, so I can know exactly how to show people what I did. I know you are one of the best, and your gift is so beautiful and unique. I have said from the day I started, I am going to master this. One week after I woke up, the ultimate entrepreneur tool kit was offered to me. You were there at the start, and you are the mastery expert.
I know being a part of this course is going to help me understand how to share this gift in the most effective way, and I think we are going to change lives together. You are going to help me control the light, lol.
Why is it that you should be chosen?
I feel like I already have been, so I’m just super excited about the program! YAY! Thank you Bill, for creating this opportunity! I am so grateful to have the chance to be able to experience your teaching.
October 15th, 2009 at 3:18 am
Wow, so many people have answered your questions well. Let’s see if I can tell you something original that differentiates me from them. ; )
1. I own a web design firm in San Francisco and I know a lot about web design, audio, video, flash, SEO, photography, and marketing . The thing is… I have a lot of ideas of how I can bring this wisdom to my current client base more effectively and monetize this wisdom and experience. In 12 months I’d like to increase my effectiveness exponentially. I’d like to have better life balance. I’d like to make $100,000/yr. I think this is possible because right now I only deal with clients one at a time. I’d like to change that to developing solutions (for example: writing articles, blogging, write a book, develop a product or service package, etc.) that will reach more people. Yet, I also want to proceed carefully so I invest my time in the “perfect” plan/idea. I have listened to you talk about “heart selling” and I believe that is the only way to really attract clients is to do what is natural to you and what you love. I want to communicate this enthusiasm in all my messaging. I have looked at other programs and I believe only you can show me how.
2. How will Client Mastery Blueprint help me? Well, it’s a system and as you said… it’s been proven. I’m not very easy to convince when I look at squeeze pages and marketing messages. So many companies make promises that they really can’t guarantee. But the Client Mastery Blueprint doesn’t sound bogus. Attraction, Conversion, Retention sounds like it should be gospel to business owners. I love that it sounds simple but takes hard work. I think everything that you say I should expect is realistic. I love that you are offering the support and coaching that it takes to get these kind of results. How will it work for me? Proper sales and marketing is the missing piece of the puzzle. You are going to help me learn how to do it right. My work is already good. I just need more effective visibility.
3. Why should I be chosen? Well, I’m an outstanding student and I learn fast. When I commit to doing something I do them well. When work is divided up into a process and I am held accountable (by a coach or teacher for example) I do excellent work. Aside from being ambitious and promising success I think I have the potential to do some good that can help others. My biggest challenge is sales and marketing… even though I naturally sell the things I love well. I’m just not sure how to scale up. I am a smart gal and very personable. But I am limited by the number of hours there are in a day. I need smarter tactics. That’s where you come in.
October 15th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
In 12 months I want to create a POSITIVE BUSINESS CHAIN - positively impact on others who can in turn be POSITIVE and POSITIVELY IMPACT on others..a little pebble in the vast ocean to create ripples of POSI-BILITY.
CBM will afford me the opportunity of WOW-ing them into sticky retention by learning from THE BEST! If they can see if, they will also want to do it…sticky retention giving them more traction, greater productivity and increased profitability.
I’ve been in business for years..new startups abound and they desperately need help. Your knowledge will add weight to my stone..so when it drops into the ocean the ripples will benefit many.
October 15th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
Hello Bill,
I would love and be honored to have this opportunity to work with you again. I loved working with you the short time I was able to to that. This I feel is meant to be so I am giving it my best!
Thanks for this wonderful opportunity! I have been working on my business and have finally gotten down to Finding Authentic Relationships . Are You One Of Those Baby Boomer Who Has Given up on Love? Well, what I do is get you out of the house and into a great relationship. I really want to help serve as many people as possible in a very deep way and to do that I have had to go deeper within myself which I am doing day by day. I believe I am channelling information so people can find the love of their lives. It isn’t too late and it is so exciting to see people change in front of my very eyes. I am a Relationship Muse and I help inspire and guide people to their beloved.
CBM will help me to be accountable and to go even deeper with my clients. I want to work with people who really want to find a relationship. CBM will help me to share my gift with clients in a profound and deep way and I want to increase my profitability as well as get clients with ease and flow. Learn and be open to new ideas and perspectives. I need to learn to be more focused and stay with my business plan and trust that it will happen….
I just started this business and have had some pitfalls but I continue to want to do this and I feel I am called to do this work. I want to benefit many people and help serve on the planet. I feel I should be chosen because I am a life-learner and I am a teacher and a student ..I am open to learn new things always and my passion is about growth and learning in the world.
October 16th, 2009 at 11:49 am
I am excited about the possibility to be the ‘chosen’ one.
1. The results I will have in 12 months:
Clients: I am a be a client magnet. People are drawn to me. They KNOW that they want me as their coach. I am creating an international community of coaches with a common vision. I am an ambassador for coaching and travel on a regular basis to Germany to coach clients there in person and to establish coaching in Europe.
Workshops: I have developed a successful series of workshops that bring fulfillment to the participants. The workshops can be lead for private groups, but are also suitable for corporations. I am having a HUGE impact in corporate America. Through coaching and workshops we help bridging the divide between departments and people at work. (Initially IT and the business). This is my biggest dream and the part where I am really stuck…
Writing: I am writing for magazines, have a successful blog and am considering to write a book. I finally reach many people at once. The impact is so big and I am thrilled to be here after only one year.
2. Client Blueprint is the program that accelerated me to where I always wanted to be. There are so many benefits.
Attraction: CMP (Client Mastery Program) took away the guess work and really taught me how to be a magnet. I am now at ease. I am a master of social media.
Conversion: 9 out of 10 prospects hire me. I am no longer nervous to talk to prospects, but excited about the additional business I am attracting. I am building a community of coaches and refer a lot of work out. It feels so good!
Retention: My clients STAY with me for as long as they need me. Another area that I am very comfortable now.
But these are only some of the benefits. Being part of the CMB program community was a huge factor of my success. The energy was amazing and I learned so much from everybody that participated.
Bill is a master and was generous to share all his ’secrets’ with us. I was lucky enough to be the winner of a scholarship! and I am determined to give back to the coaching community.
The program is a treasure - there are so many aspects that guarantee your success: group coaching sessions, workshops, calls, access to different resources and people. marketing coaching, etc. It’s more that the whole Enchilada for sure….
3. Why should you choose me? This is really the hardest question. I know that each person you chose, will be the perfect person for your program. It is such a great opportunity and no one will waste it.
Well - I am a dedicated, sincere and engaged in coaching and in life. I show up 100% and am determined to be the best participant for you and the program so that all participants will be thrilled to have me. I YEARN to be part of a community and I feel that this would make me part of the best possible one. People who are dedicated to have a significant impact on the planet. People that show up with enthusiasm, passion and integrity.
–
Wow! Writing this felt really good! Thanks for the opportunity, An FYI: I am German and an ex-IT consultant, that’s where the 2 biggest dreams are coming from.

Thanks a Bunch

Dear Bill,
Thank you very much for this increadable opportunity!
1) What results do you want for your business in 12 months?
Currently, I’m an employee and spend 8-hours a day to work not for myself but for others. So, first, I want my own business. My successful business. A business that helps other people to change their life, that helps to bring harmony in their lives, and helps to find balance between their career and family lives, that will allow them to be more happy, joyful and take responsibility for their lives in their own hands. Yes, I’m talking about coach-business. Right now, coaching is my hobby and I would like to make coaching my main activity. This business will help me, as well, to fulfill my own dream of enjoying helping other people and, at the same time, becoming wealthy myself. So, in a year, I’m planning to have my own successful coach-business that brings me many clients and good income. In a year, I work about 20-30 hours a week (I will work less but smarter) and get income 5 times more than in my current job. My clients achieve great results after working with me and their lives change significantly. In a year, I have a successful international practice and internet business that also brings me some passive income. I’m planning not only to conduct personal one-to-one coach sessions but also to distribute internet newsletters, develop some programs (using internet) that will help to reach more people at once.
2) How will Client Mastery Blueprint help you get there?
I believe that this system will help me to become a master in attracting clients and to become more self-confident coach and business-woman. I hope also to find same-minded peers and friends during this program who would like to change their lives and lives of people around. I think it’s very important to have an opportunity to grow professionally with people who have the same principles.
3) Why is it that you should be chosen?
Because I’m eager to change my life path, I’m eager to learn and I’m eager to apply new knowledge and skills, and change not only my own life but be involved in positive changes of other people’s lives. Also, because I live in Kazakhstan (that is a part of former Soviet Union) and although our country is developing pretty fast, coaching business is not developed yet here and there are no any available courses on how to build successful coach business and how to attract clients. This is a unique opportunity for me to learn from one of the most successful coaches like YOU, Bill, who is ready to share with your own know-how with the beginners. With your assistance I hope to become one of the first coaches in the CIS countries that have successful international practice in coaching and successful internet business. I’m inspired to use this unique opportunity and proud to be a part of your program.

“Greatness In Business As Well As In Life Comes By Being An Inspirational Human Being.” Robin Sharma
When I first read about the opportunity to apply for a scholarship to your Client Mastery Blueprint Program, I took a pause to think about what I wanted to say. When I started writing to get my thoughts down on paper, it was an hour later and 5 pages long! I had major awarenesses about myself just in the PROCESS of this application !
What surprised me most of all, was all the energy I was putting into focusing on a business that was , in retrospect, not the direction I needed to be going in at all ! WOW! I was SO busy going upstream, working SO hard, putting in so many hours, I lost sight, that things were not flowing at all.
Last July, I bought the Ultimate Entrepreneur’s Toolkit, and listened to ALL the mp3’s, Made my Pink Spoon, wrote out 40 or so ideas to work on for articles, and had a coaching call with Kris.
This ONE call was ultimately the catalyst for the change that occurred this week.
Actually.. it was One Sentence, or rather, TWO WORDS…. “Fail Quickly”
The problem was that I was not ready to let go in July, I had worked too hard. The business that I had tried so hard to build and did ALL the “right things ‘ for was not moving in the direction I was hoping for.
There is a phrase that I have become familiar with over the years.. Awareness, Acceptance, Action. So, I was aware after speaking to Kris. The Acceptance took me several months to work through, I even worked HARDER to make it work !!! And though, at times, I thought I was giving it up, I would find ways to justify to put just one more try, one more effort in.
In a few hours of writing WHY I wanted to be part of the Client Mastery Program,, I made a decision to STOP doing all the things that were not moving me forward.. and START focusing on doing things I felt were my strengths.
By being clear on my goals of WHAT I wanted to do, would help the clients find me. I would attract the clients that were a best fit for what they needed, because I knew deep down, in my core, what I was doing was RIGHT for ME.
It was the action of finally letting go that set me free !!!
It was in these moments of clarity that I was able to design a Coaching Program from top to bottom, including ALL the details, all the benefits,books,workshops and telecalls, and most importantly,the uniqueness of how this program was going to work for those who it was intented for… which means attracting the ideal matching clients.
It seemed the floodgates just opened wide.. and all the information of what I needed to do just downloaded!! I was able to write out the first program in about 45 min, then one for the New Years started flowing, and I wrote that out too!! And, from there one for a retreat in the early part of the year came up. WOW!!
What a fabulous beginning. I am SOOO excited!!
I have always disliked contests to see who could win based on somebody else’s opinions. ( like for art, poetry, photography, writing etc. ) as it is so subjective. Often when I saw who the judges chose for these contests, I was pretty surprised, as I saw that the second or third prize winners, or even the Honourable Mentions, were just as valuable, or talented, if maybe even ‘better’ than the winners!!
This time something called me to do it. And I am so grateful that I did take the time to write it out.. as it just opened doors for me that I had NO idea were there !!
( WOW.. this is LONG. I was going to keep it shorter, however somewhere along the line, I realized I was not doing this for anybody else but ME, so I was going to write it out. Perhaps it will resonate with somebody if I tell my whole story!! AND that would be so worthwhile. )
In 12 months.. wow. It is hard to say what will happen in 12 months. Now that I see how life can change so quickly. If it is any indication that the results from the Ultimate Entrepreneurs Toolkit and ONE short coaching session can be a catalyst for the kind of change that has already happened, I can only think that it will be an amazing ride on listening to the intuition and guidance that is waiting for me in so many ways, and through so many people! ( Like TWO words from Kris!!)
I envision a confidence in myself that radiates out , and just by leading by my example, it will inspire others to find within themselves the courage to take the steps to moving towards finding their inner radiance too.
In 12 months from now, my business will have grown to reach more people than I could think possible, and have connections with other business owners who would like to co create events/programs that will use our skills and unique abilities to go even Further than if we were to do it alone!
Being involved with the Client Mastery Program is brings to light the tools, community, and support that, through my writing it all out, I discovered that was so essential. The concept of needing a ‘full bucket ‘ to be able to give from your own bucket keeps coming to mind. When I am fully supported, I am able to give more. By having resources of the group,,the tools that will be shared in the group, and the learning from BEING within such a community, I see that having such a HUGE impact on the way my clients will be receiving the coaching they will be getting from me. It is beneficial all the way around!
Why should you choose me ?
Ohhhhh.. these questions seem to pit one person against another and turn it into a competition.. which, again, I don’t really like. ( though these are pretty common questions that people ask, as it is hard for you to know why, if I don’t come out and tell you.!)However, there really is NO competition. The right person will get the scholarship!!
I have already told you the story of how the process of just writing out why I wanted to participate has been so amazing and life changing already!
Everything has been turned on its head.. and I am moving in a direction that is SO exciting that I can barely contain myself!! Life continues to amaze.
Thank you so much !
Peace and light

Dear Bill!
I’ve recently gotten a powerful inspiration to create a new company and as I am following it - was unsure how it would unfold. We just, last week, put up a few pages of the site and concepts continue to flow…..
I am confident doors are opening for the right reasons and this service is of maximum value for people! If it is so, it will launch, grow and flourish - providing needed resources to parents, entrepreneurs and improve the quality of life for many. Your offer is a grand opportunity for the realization of this vision! Thanks for considering my dream.

I know your program is the solution to my blind-spot.
- Why is it that you should be chosen?
I am deeply confident I can be of maximum value through this business -that there are people who can benefit from the support of my company and our like-minded partners - and that through it I can live my purpose, which is simply “To give children their parents back through the gift of business ownership”.

Client Mastery Scholarship Application
October 18, 2009
Greetings Bill Baren and crew,
Thank you so much for this opportunity to participate in the Client Mastery program at a fee I can afford! I hope I am chosen as the scholarship recipient.
1. In the next 12 months my goals for my business are:
a. to have 10 or more clients each and every week (except vacations),
b. to be booked two to three weeks in advance,
c. to have an office assistant,
d. to get my office organized,
e. to be drawing in more than $5,000 each month,
f. to deepen my skills,
g. to be writing articles or an e-zine or a radio show or something to broaden my reach,
h. to have at least 2 two-week, real, relaxing, rejuvenating vacations, and
i. to become involved with people who see the value of my health plan, and who support its development and implementation financially and politically.
2. The Client Mastery Blueprint will help me build my business in many ways. I do so love helping people feel better; helping clients resolve long-standing health problems is even more satisfying. The more people I can reach who really benefit from my services and products, the better place the world will be. The better I become at attracting clients, the more people will feel better faster. Did I say that in a way that make sense?
I believe the Client Mastery program will help me to develop a client attraction system that works. It will help me refine my ideas and design a business that is perfect for me. I see myself learning how to listen to what potential clients are really saying. I picture myself working with my preferred clients, when and where I choose to work, and creating mutually beneficial, long-term relationships with profitable results!
3. I should be chosen to receive this scholarship because it is time for my magical business breakthrough. I have been “doing my homework” for months and years. I have skills, talents, experience, education, compassion, and empathy. I fought my way back from near-disability to a full and vital life, and I am excited to help others do the same!
I have big dreams of helping people learn to feel healthier and to manage their own happiness. I have an even bigger dream of creating a true health plan for my community, this country and the world. (Remind me to tell you about my ‘Plan B’ for world peace!)
Participation in coaching programs has been a huge help to me in the past. I am ready, willing and able to commit myself to real success on a whole new level.
If you have any questions, you may call me at 707/223-2800 or email me at lightbirdone@yahoo.com.
Thank you for your consideration of my application for the Client Mastery Scholarship.
Peace and Fun,

Hello Bill,
I was very touched by your offer to gift your course as a scholarship, and I’d like to be the one selected to win it. This came across my desk at a time when I am restructuring my business in a more sustainable way. The timing is just right.
- What results do you want for your business in 12 months?
Explosive Internet growth. Full programs. A VA who is getting paid on a regular basis. A bottom line that makes me smile.
- How will Client Mastery Blueprint help you get there?
Client attraction/conversion/retention is the next step. I need the structure and accountability of your program. I’ve done a lot by myself but I need your help.
- Why is it that you should be chosen?
I did the work to be personally in integrity with my offering.
I’m totally, completely, and thoroughly ready ~ both to learn and to succeed.
I’m strongly motivated by my actual financial condition, my need to provide for myself and my son, and my understanding of the global picture.
I’ll leverage the gift to produce incredible results.
Plus, I’ll write you the best reference you’ve ever had
Thank you for your consideration,

Dear Bill Baren,
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity. I appreciate your generosity in offering a scholarship to your program. This was also a good chance for me to clarify my business goals and where I see my future.
1) What results do you want for your business in 12 months?
Within 12 months, I would like a thriving life coaching private practice. Here are some of the markers I would like to achieve:
- Internet presence: On Google, when searching for “quarterlife crisis” my name is on the first search page.
- Individual coaching clients (via phone or in person): at least 6 sessions per week.
- Retreats: Running quarterly retreats with at least 8 participants.
- Teleseminars: Every other month hold teleseminars
- Website campaign: Newsletters, free downloads and products, guide for outside resources, different client packages designed to fit any budget
- PR Campaign: Been written up in magazines, newspapers, and blogs. Interviewed on TV and radio. Free public talks with various organizations.
- Book: self publish an e-book/paperback book on the quarterlife crisis.
- CD/MP3: exercises that further clients’ work on their quarterlife crisis issues
2) How will Client Mastery Blueprint help you get there?
The Client Mastery Blueprint will help me get there by:
- The program will also give me the tools to create more hits on my website and sign ups for my newsletter.
- As I attract more prospects, the program will then teach me strategies on how to convert prospects into clients. Once I have a prospect as a client, I will also have the skills to retain them as long term clients.
- By providing me with mentor and peer support. This group will be helpful as a sounding board and brainstorming new ideas. Each of us could bring in their own expertise to help one another. Also, each peer can be a source of further referrals.
- Further clarifying and specifying my niche. The program will also help me understand how to market to my niche.
- Structuring an action plan to build my coaching practice. Also, having an accountability towards this plan.
- Offering me insight and industry knowledge of what works and what does not work.
- Answering my specific questions tailored to my business and future goals.
- Opening me up to new ideas and possibilities.
3) Why is it that you should be chosen?
I should be chosen for the following reasons:
- Competent: I am a competent and effective coach. I have over 10 years of experience helping individuals with their own development. Furthermore, I continually enroll in professional trainings to keep building my professional skills. Many of my clients and colleagues have remarked highly about my skills as a coach. However, my professional trainings did not teach me the business side of running a private practice. As I become more competent in business, I will be able to serve more people. I also have the basic structures in place: website, business cards, blog, fliers, Facebook group page, email list, and so forth. Therefore, it is taking these pieces to the next level and implementing new strategies.
- Passionate: I believe in my cause of addressing the “quarterlife crisis”. I am passionate about helping individuals in their twenties and thirties find their identity, passion, and calling in life. It took me over eight years to find my calling. Therefore, I want to help people find their purpose in a shorter amount of time. The quarterlife crisis seems to be growing, especially during these economic times. With my background in coaching and psychology, I can help my clients lower their anxiety, create an action plan, uncover and remove blocks, and go after the life they really want to live.
- Effecting Positive Change: As my clients become clearer about their identity and purpose, they become healthier, happier, and more altruistic. I also help my clients become more aware of how they can make a positive impact on the world. Their actions can have a positive rippling effect. As my clients become more successful, they can positively effect their friends, family, and communities.
- Financial Need: In June, I graduated with a masters in clinical psychology. Most of the internships in the field are non-paying. I was fortunate enough to get an internship that offered a small stipend. However, the stipend is not enough to cover my student loans or daily expenses. Furthermore, my stipend could be in jeopardy because of further budgetary cuts. I was hoping that my private practice in coaching could provide another source of income to pay for the rest of my expenses. Therefore, money has been very tight and there is very little wiggle room. The scholarship would be greatly appreciated so that I would not have to take out any more loans.
- Benefits for Bill Baren:
I have a large personal and professional network. Many of these contacts have come to me for my personal recommendations and referrals. People know that I am a good resource for information and contacts. Therefore, I can be a powerful spokesperson for Client Mastery Blueprint program. As my business grows, I can speak confidently and passionately about how effective this program has been for me. Many of my colleagues are struggling to build their businesses. Through my success, they could see tangible benefits from your program. Wanting their success, I would further encourage them to sign up for future programs.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Kirk Akahoshi

Hi Bill,
In the following year I aim to reach these vistas in my business, Be Free to Move:
15 private clients weekly, 40 weeks annually, an increase of 100%
50 students weekly in group classes, 40 weeks annually, an increase of 300%
Usher two new initiatives off the ground:
o Bones for Life workshops, (improving osteoporosis for seniors), monthly, 30 students each
o Weekend workshops for seniors in rural Kentucky, monthly
Set up a mechanism for funding bodyworkers to work with low-income disabled clients in Central Kentucky (this is my service project)
Total annual gross income (after rentals, before other expenses & taxes) $78,000
My goal is to do this very gratifying work for my company, Be Free to Move, 40 weeks yearly, to travel 4, and to volunteer in Guatemala and Mexico 8 weeks yearly with disabled children and adults. I have always felt called, since my earliest work teaching disabled children in the schools, to travel to another country where there are limited resources for disabled people. Now I have the skills, the contacts, and the personal freedom to do so. All I need is the financial freedom, and better Spanish!
How will Client Mastery Blueprint help you get there?
I know that I need a coach, but not just any coach. I listened to your presentation on time management and knew right away you were the one. Your description of Client Mastery Blueprint stands out for me in three ways: method, enlightened ideas, and consistent, smart encouragement.
A little about myself…
First, I know what my strengths and weaknesses are, and where I need support.
I know that I’m strong in communicating in both speaking and writing, building a sense of value and generating enthusiasm for what I do, designing experiences that get results and building trust in my clients.
I know that I’m weak in deciding on and implementing effective follow-up with potential and new clients, and staying motivated to follow through on my plans. I’m often like a tennis player who hits the ball beautifully and then drops the racket.
I know that I’m moderately capable in attracting, converting and retaining clients, but I need to be smarter, and more methodical, and I need encouragement from a coach and a group of others invested in the same strategies. I greatly need help in staying focused on the prize.
In my little world here in Lexington, Kentucky, I’m one of 5 Feldenkrais practitioners in the entire state. I find it difficult to find small business people of any stripe who are interested in being a part of a master mind group. And, as a particular kind of extrovert/collaborator, I really need that. The master mind groups element of the CMB and the periodic 1-on-1 contact with you and your coaching staff would be an enormous boost.
My biggest obstacle to the success I’m looking for is my own inconsistent focus. I have always struggled with intermittent success, which I relate directly to the very aggravating Attention Deficit Disorder, once diagnosed by a clinician who said, “I don’t know how you have accomplished as much as you have with the degree of ADD that you are living with.” The primary thing that helps someone with focus problems such as ADD is a method. I think the CMB will provide me with the methods and strategies that I can implement repeatedly over the years so that, even on foggy ADD days, I still know what actions to take, and can see my progress accumulate over time.
And, why should you choose me? Obviously, you have many compelling stories and fine people applying who could really benefit from your coaching. I can’t say that I’m any more deserving, but I can say with certainty that no one wants it more than I do.
I’m a person who has achieved a lot in her life, always on a shoe string, sometimes by virtue of perseverance and smart work, sometimes because of community support for my enterprises, and often by essentially pulling a rabbit out of a hat. I’ve always been professionally off the beaten path (improvisational dance, multi-cultural arts, movement therapies) while living in a conservative and low-income state. And yet, I have made it, at least managing to support myself and my son, for over 17 years, as a solo practitioner and teacher. But I have never prospered. Now, at the age of 58, I have to manifest something better. You should choose me because I have wanted it for a very long time, I have accomplished a lot under difficult circumstances, and I have the potential to do great things. If you choose me for this amazing scholarship, I will fully participate, and I am eminently coachable.
Thanks again for making this opportunity possible.

Hello Bill Baren! It looks like you have a lot to read so I will try to keep this brief.
• What results do you want for your business in 12 months?
o 6-figure coaching business working with individuals and businesses/corporations, with lots of rave reviews
o Regular flow of new clients, many through referrals
o Able to articulate unique gifts in web copy, articles, and marketing literature.
o Profitable and collaborative strategic partnerships and releasing or close to releasing information products.
• How will Client Mastery Blueprint help you get there?
o Based on my participation on your group calls, I believe Client Master Blueprint will help provide the momentum and support to move beyond my old career and fully “own” my new coaching business
o Help me get beyond analysis paralysis and personal gremlins to meaningful and successful action
o Allow me to leverage Mastermind groups for new ideas, next steps, and as a sounding board
o By modeling a successful coaching practice that deals with life AND business, that is firm and compassionate with insight into real issues and best next steps
• Why is it that you should be chosen?
o My former career burned me out and I’m digging out of that ditch. In the sky I see “COACHING IS THE WAY” and my response is: Yes, I know but I’m stuck in this ditch. I need a hand! I really need a hand!
o I’m a good investment; I’m not afraid of work, ready to re-invent myself, my business, try new things, intend success. I have had small businesses for years but not a coaching business.
o Your message resonates with me, especially the intersection of life and business and creativity catalyst.
o I got sooo burnt out with a project involving my old career, that my finances have taken a hit and I really could use a hand.
October 20th, 2009 at 12:39 am
What results do you want for your business in 12 months? Money is not the primary motivation for developing my coaching practice. My motivation comes from the fact that I love it when I get to use my knowledge, skills and abilities in helping people see their way through problems or issues they are attempting to resolve.
I want to market my services effectively. I often seek coaching sessions partly so I can experience the fulfillment this activity brings; and it is not what I call “work.” Marketing is what I want to learn so I can practice doing what I love. I want to be able to present the results I help create. I want to learn to avoid tripping over questions that ask me what I do and how I do it; rather I think the prospective client wants to know the results I can bring them
I just re-read the course outline and saw the attraction, conversion and retention piece. That is what I have not done well. This is what I want to bring to my practice and as well as anything else that I do. I believe what is taught here in these three principle areas are key to success in life. Some people have this naturally (maybe) but some do not. I want to develop these skills because when I read it something impacted my thinking; I realized this has been missing in all my past efforts to market my coaching successfully. So I have already learned from this contest preparation and it is exciting to think what may still come.
Coaching for me is probably similar to what a concert violinist may experience when playing their instrument. I appreciate and am touched by witnessing when people have mastery in almost anything. For me it is essential joy to experience when I know the right thing to say or do at the right time. It is rewarding when I correctly connect with the client’s issue and the result that is mutually desired by the client and myself manifests. It is not difficult to perform this function when it is a role that I love.
There us more that I can learn though; for example I can learn more structured ways to present my coaching service to the client (attraction). I tend to be intuitive and follow the path of the presentation but this leads me. It is not me leading to the desired result producing stage of conversion. I think the training will provide the marketing structure (I resist but need) and will keep me focused where I need to be focused. I have lots of skills but what use are they if I cannot promote them and market them efficiently.
At age 14 I committed (to myself) that I would observe what truth is and how successful practices work for successful people. I promised myself that I would practice what I learned for my life. Being human I have wavered on this commitment but I consistently return to it. I learned much from my practice of observing and still learn more all the time. It was natural and logical that I completed my undergraduate degree in psychology and worked as a mental health therapist concurrently. I learned many valuable skills and want to learn to effectively market myself so I can use these skills even more.
I have worked in several fields and have enjoyed the process of developing skills in a number of areas from aircraft maintenance to carpentry. There has been nothing that has held my attention and interest as much as human growth and promoting the well being of others. No work has produced the same level of satisfaction. I am fortunate to be a part of the process of aiding others to gain emotional intelligence, and learn how not to be victims of their own beliefs.
It is my goal to return to this work and have it as my primary work until I am too old to practice any longer. I want a steady flow of three to four clients daily for five days a week by the end of 12 months. This does not seem overly demanding of my time and would allow me to have time for self and time and energy for focused attention for my clients.
Attracting clients has been my biggest stumbling block. There are other activities I want to learn how to do which will enhance my practice and serve to attract clients. These are writing a book, public speaking, and business coaching. At this point my plan is tentative for these activities because I first want to learn more about how to implement marketing success strategies during my course activities.
How will Client Mastery Blueprint help you get there? I have been good at developing skills for coaching others because it was fascinating and held my interest as well as creating immense challenges in my beliefs about whom I was. One favorite saying is that Mental Health work was powerful enough to drive me sane. I think Client Mastery Blueprint may help me or point me toward learning how to create promotional activities such as writing, public speaking and business coaching.
I have never been good at marketing myself. Self limiting beliefs get in my way seemingly out of my control. The beliefs are about having some (blindly unknown) inadequacy that renders me unable to produce workable amounts of income and be unable to influence a sufficient client base; therefore will not allow success by my definition. These unreasonable beliefs have worked against me in most career activities I have done.
I see the driver for this; I see the process of attracting, converting and retaining clients will dispel these (imagined reasons for non success). I think Client Mastery Blueprint can help me market more successfully which probably will serve to clear these false beliefs.
I understand that the mind organizes experiences into categories and that it fabricates details when it does not have sufficient information. The mind is a pattern organizing bio-computer if you will. So my limiting beliefs may have formed as a construct in the absence of facts and likely would not have formed had knowledge of results been present. I believe effective marketing tools, in place most likely will eliminate these mind generated self-limiting beliefs because results will be in place.
I know some tools of thinking that help rid me of these self limits but there is more room for me to grow; in fact growth is never completed in my opinion. I think Client Mastery Blueprint has much in the way of marketing tools and practices that I will learn in my journey with them.
I believe I will be able to produce results that WOW! The client and think this will retain clients There is one missing piece that if I am chosen I will get and that is conversion. Heart is essential but so is some balance and skill in using techniques for marketing. Asking for the sale has been a problem for me in knowing when that question is right to ask and being confident that I have attracted the prospect enough to make the conversion.
The belief goes something like I can’t be a success with its supporting belief because somehow people will not see the value in following my lead (again attraction) because there is some unknown flaw that others see but I do not see. Another part is somehow I am not credible and people will not be attracted to my coaching. This my mind converts to limiting, imagination created beliefs like: “It seems when I want something I may try too hard and it eludes me.” This is paradoxical and different than what I think is the real problem; the problem being, ineffective marketing tools and skills.
False beliefs are endless loops; I will overcome these; they are, after all just mind chatter and I have already learned that if I look at the chatter of my mind under (my) mental microscope that it is often seen for its false nature and eventually loses power. I am becoming good at ferreting out these beliefs. Also as stated previously, I am confident I will learn efficient marketing tools when I train with Client Mastery Blueprint.
I believe that Client Mastery Blueprint has the structured means of developing the effective level of mastery that I need in order to perform marketing activity that will increase my number of clients. Another way to say it is that when I have a good plan and when I follow the plan (my new Marketing plan) it will override my self-limiting beliefs. The beliefs will fall away when the plan starts producing the client numbers results that I want.
Why is it that you should be chosen? I can and will use all my intelligence, knowledge, skills and abilities to influence positive change in people’s lives. I do this now because I have a personal mission for creating win-win interactions. I am committed to creating upbeat, loving and respectful interactions that will create an upward spiral effect in the world. There is a movie called “Pay it forward.” I love that movie because it models people being concerned for others and encourages them to get outside of themselves by moving away from their ego self. I am prepared to follow leadership that will teach me to market effectively so I can carry out my mission.
I believe with every fiber, cell and DNA strand that love is the master and if we follow love, our lives will be everything we want. I believe that if love were grafted into every human interaction there would be no wars, no killings, no dishonesty and no people abandoned and left alone and uncared for. I believe this can and will be injected into my business of life enhancement coaching. I more than believe it, I know it because this is the way I conduct my life at present outside of coaching.
I am not so special in this. It does not require that I have exceptional qualities in order to live with and from love. It only takes one’s desire to have the truth in their lives. With that desire and the necessary commitment to seek truth it is my experience that truth is then discovered and that it has always been present. Everyone is welcome to truth and everyone deserves to have it. This is my operating belief system and is how I will conduct my practice.
I believe that truth is love and that love is the glue that binds all that we know exists. I believe that my mission on this earth is to discover love and to live in love. I am committed to seeking this in every way I can. Any of us can choose this for our lives.
I am sure most of us deserve to win; I just have a little selfish tick in me that hopes it will be I; while knowing this is my ego talking. If I do win however, I will learn all I can to gain the skills that have been cataloged so well in creating this course.
Ego is not entirely bad though, it serves us well sometimes. It may serve us for example when there is a bear behind the next tree and we run from it; but it may not serve us when it thinks every tree has a bear behind it. There are not enough bears for there to be one behind every tree it is impossible there could be; so many trees so few bears; HMMMM?
May the best coach win!

Dear Bill,
thank you from the bottom of my heart for offering this scholarship and choosing to give back to the community. I know that you know coaches generally need support to learn how to make coaching more viable financially, and the world REALLY needs coaches. Now more than ever…
Thank you for your devotion to making a difference in all the ways that you do and for giving someone more of a chance to really make their special difference on this planet, whether it’s me or some one else you choose to support in this way. I am so grateful for your genuine expression of caring.
* What results do I want for my business in 12 months?
I want to be known as Your Love Doctor and The Permanent Weight Loss Coach. When people Google help for their relationship and/or for their health and weight I will show up on the first search page.

Specifically, I am committed in the next 12 months to:
a. Being a thought leader, changing how people think about relationships and giving people new templates from which to build deeply caring rich intimate connection that changes how we relate to one another here on planet earth, as well as how we relate to earth and life itself.

e. Really reach more people through effective marketing who I can serve powerfully and make a life changing difference to and for, that ripples out into the world in many different ways.
f. Speak, everywhere I can. In my mind I have seen myself as a key note speaker, standing before a huge group of people and sharing my heart and soul with them, crying, and giving them the essence of all I have to give, and with that a piece of humanity and hope and compassion that were all in this together and it’s worth caring about one another and life on this planet. It really is.
f. Make a sort of “workbook” for people to actively engage their process of growth, learning and changing in a way that helps them embody and integrate their evolution.
g. Write at least 20 more articles and know how to really “place” them on the internet and possibly in print so that they reach as many people as possible !!!
h. Generate an ezine or newsletter, whichever would be a “better” way to connect with and reach more people.
i. Generate a blog, a place to really consistently share all the resources I have and connect with “my people”.
j. I am open to being on the radio or something of that nature to continue reaching more people.
k. Be interviewed by as many people as possible.
l. Receive enough support to be able to give the world my heart and soul in this manner.
m. Be able to truly be supported financially by giving my deepest gifts on this planet and walking my path and living my truth.
*How will Client Mastery Blueprint help me get there?
There are so very many ways that Client Mastery Blueprint help me get there. Some of them are:
a.Simply having another holding my vision with and for me (especially when I feel lost or scared or disconnected from my deepest desires) is very powerful, as well as holding one another as part of a whole “team” in the program. I am very much a team player and one of the very hardest parts of being a coach that I have faced is the isolation.
b.Having a consistent action plan so I know what to do when, to stay on track.
c.Ongoing skill building that will help me at the most practical level have the ability to manifest the essential steps one at a time to keep growing my business.
d.Mentorship to help me through my blind spots to learn what I don’t know I don’t know, as well as what I know I don’t know. The essential support that will carve years off my struggling with the business so that I can do the actual work with the people and go out and help as many people as I can !!!
e. The ongoing support and skills to more quickly and effectively and efficiently build my business so I stay on this path and make it a viable business and give my deepest gifts rather than having to find another way to make money just so I can “pay the bills”.
* Why is it that you should be chosen?
I should be chosen because of my total devotion to this path and the difference I can make with more support. I have spent the last 11 years continuing to relentlessly grow myself as a coach, facilitator, speaker and author, healer and leader. Everywhere I go I bring all of myself to each person I meet to serve, support, empower, educate, love, care and make a positive difference. Period.
When I was 12 years old I chose to put myself in therapy in order to actively heal and grow from my challenges…and I have actively been on this path ever since. However, I really need help with being effective at the business side of coaching as soon as possible, or I really fear I will…I don’t know what.
I have worked for myself my whole life and have had several businesses including a real estate investment business that I began at 16, and every business I have had has been stripped away in some way or another. The last time this happened was 2 and a half years ago when I lost both my home and business to a fire in one day.
At the deepest level I know that each of these experiences had led me deeper down my path as a healer and asked me what I stand for and believe in (for real, with no icing on top), what I am willing to let go of in order to give my deepest gifts and settle for nothing less ? I have been brought to knees again and again…and again. And now I am here. It has not been easy, it has taken everything inside me to keep going through incredible challenges, including supporting a family member through attempted suicide and my business partner and best friend taking his life during the last year. Every moment of my life has continued to grow my heart and my compassion. It is my path to give these gifts I have cultivated to the world, so any support I receive becomes a way for me to give more.
Thank you for your considering me for this opportunity.
Sincerely,
Tsahai
P.S. I have a web site but I didn’t include it as I am currently refining it.

I would like to thank ALL the people who participated in putting out their words ( and video ) for all to see about the scholarship. How wonderful to see what each of you has brought to the ‘table’ and why you would all benefit from the scholarship.
I would have a hard time choosing.. I think you are ALL AMAZING!!!
As I read through them, I sat in wonderment, and excitement.. of how fantastic it would be to connect with each other in a way that strengthened the group.
I just have such a deep respect and my heart is full of LOVE for you all… ( which sounds funny since I have not met any of you…)
Bill.. is there a way to connect people together for a group that would support each other ? ( I know there are .ning sites, and social networking sites that offer community like that if you have a group at hand already. REALLY easy to set up!)
Peace, light and love

- What results do you want for your business in 12 months?
I would love to effortlessly magnetize classes and workshops that are full and overflowing. I feel so passionately about the work I do to help transform peoples lives and the lives of the people around them, that I want to share it with as many people as I can.
I would also love to be able to travel to a different city every month or two - to present these offerings to full to capacity workshops.
I was very inspired Bill by your words about being able to magnetize and keep clients no matter where you are and the deep foundational support and trust you must feel when you are in that place. That is what I long to feel in the next 12 months - that I can be anywhere at anytime and still completly offer myself in a way that is abundant and supported.
- How will Client Mastery Blueprint help you get there?
By offering me new tools and new ways to look at how I both promote and magnetize clietns. I also feel deeply that I would love to be directed on where to look and how to transform the self sabatoge I feel within me - to expand myself beyond my self limiting beliefs and feelings, so I can ground myself deeply in the truth of who I am - so that I can magnetize and keep clients wherever I am. This is what calls me deeply to this work. I know I have so much to offer the world and the only person standing in my way is myself. I also know that there is much for me to learn about marketing, and more to learn about the inner workings of getting more clients.
I long to be supported in moving through my own blocks and to also to learn from someone who has obviously mastered the art of magnetizing clients.
- Why is it that you should be chosen?
I know that the work I do is deeply needed in the world at this time. So many of us are in our heads and fogotten about the deep intelligence of our bodies. To merge the two in union brings so much peace and understanding. I continue to see how my offerings effect people and help them plug into their essence, their core.
I also see how my offerings deeply nourish the woman of the world and help them to let their inner light shine out.. so they can be better mothers, sisters, wifes, friends and creators.
I know that I am standing in my own way, and will be supported in moving through the blocks that hold me back from completly offering myself to the world. I so long to be in service on deeper and deeper levels, and long to break through my own personal barriers.
