“What do I get?” you ask.

You may have read some of the other posts, and understand what balance coaching is and isn’t.  You may have read posts and understand a lot about finding balance.  If so, great, I’m doing my job to inform you of my unique service.

However, you still may not be sure what exactly you get?

I like tangible stuff

When I read self help books, or other non fiction, I often scratch my head at the fact that I read that whole book only to get one or two bullet items.  “Really?” I think, then shake my head, then toss the book into the bon fire.  No, just kidding on the last thing.

When I meet other business professionals, or read posts on LinkedIn, my eyes glaze over when they talk about synergy or other multi-syllable words that in real life mean very little.  I’m a tangible guy (no that’s not a comment about my fitness level – I think).  I like tangible stuff, wrapping my arms around it, “getting it.”

I’m betting most people are too.  I’m betting you are too.  So, you ask what’s in this balance coaching for you?  You wonder, what would actually happen if you did it?  You don’t need touchy feely stuff necessarily, you don’t want a general ‘feeling.’  You want some sort of tangible result, an outcome, something that motivates you to do this.  See picture for how I think you feel.

Why can’t I just tell you what you get, you may ask?

Well, unlike some of the other books out there, I can.  And I want to.

 

What you get

More to work with – As I’ve said, balance coaching helps you to not only figure out your goals, but recover Time, Energy and Resources that you lost/are overspending along the way.  This means you get more time to work with.  That means you get more energy to use.  That means you will have more resources to spend.

More time to use means you now have openings in a schedule that had no openings.  Or openings that are much larger, or planned, or lined up in a way that you’re not scrambling from commitment A to commitment B.

More energy means you now have enough energy to work on that project, or hobby that you dropped by the wayside. That means you get to do more of the thing you want to do, or just actually start doing the thing you have never been able to do.

More resources means you have more money, or more car time, or the availability of transportation that you didn’t have before.

Actual Examples

Want examples?  Sure.  Here are specific examples partially taken from client results.  They may not apply to you, but they are very real, very tangible results.  So when you ask what you get, these are the things:

* You can now go out with your friends to wind down once a week, guilt free.

* Your wife now is actually interested in a date night – If you’re wondering how your spouse would be affected by your balance, they are.  In this case your wife has the energy and interest in date night, because you are now playing a greater role in being a parent, giving her more energy.  Yes, your imbalance affects hers.

* You are now playing volleyball with friends again, and they are no longer nagging you.

* You are writing that book again, and you feel pretty good about it – you have a plan, a goal, and the time to do it.

* You’re saving money on gas because you no longer have to drive your daughter to practice, and you have the car available to grocery shop, which means you’re saving more money by not going out as much which also means you are your daughter are closer because you cook together every Wednesday and because you’re closer and she feels more involved and takes ownership of chores.  (there’s actually more to this run on sentence!  But, that’s enough)  See my post on the Sliding Puz...
