The Real Reason Clients Say “I Can’t Afford It”

In this conversation, Larry and Cody break down the true nature of “value uncertainty” — the mental equation clients subconsciously run every time they’re asked to invest in coaching or care. It’s rarely about money; it’s about perceived return. Cody explains how professionals often project their own lens of value instead of first understanding what the person across from them actually wants, needs, and fears.

Through a detailed role-play, they demonstrate how the right questions — not persuasion — reveal what matters most to clients: health, longevity, and the ability to show up for family and life. Cody shares a striking story about a business owner who remained “stuck in the rowboat” because fear outweighed opportunity, and how recognizing that moment allows coaches to ethically let go instead of discounting or convincing.
