There are several reasons behind my decision to provide coaching free of charge.
1. Desire to Help: I find fulfillment in assisting others, as it brings a sense of personal satisfaction. While it may seem altruistic, it’s worth acknowledging that as humans, we often find intrinsic joy in being of service to others.
2. Impact and Contribution: I aim to make a meaningful impact by sharing my knowledge. I believe in the power of investing in individuals who may not have the financial means but possess great potential. It’s akin to being a seed investor, sowing the seeds for future success.
3. Supporting Those in Need: Having experienced a period of financial constraints with abundant ideas, I recognize the importance of providing support to those who may not currently afford my services. This strategic generosity allows me to contribute to the growth of individuals who can benefit the most.
4. Effective Marketing: Offering free coaching serves as a powerful marketing tool. Recognizing the transformative nature of my coaching, I trust that those who experience it will remember and potentially return for future sessions. Additionally, satisfied individuals are likely to share their positive experiences, organically expanding my reach.
It’s essential to emphasize that this offering comes with no strings attached. The quality of the session and any subsequent actions are entirely in your hands. Attend with focus, be prepared, and decide what you want to derive from the experience.
Ultimately, this is a gift from me to you. No strings attached. The choice of what to do with it rests entirely with you.
I look forward to talk to you, Floh
