That’s you … a person… talking, sharing, taking someone on a tour of your home, your kitchen, your pantry, your gym. It’s you… having your massage therapist, nutritionist, personal training director or most popular trainer do the same. It’s you as the general manager or owner getting on talking about what YOU do… and what you struggle with, what a typical day is for you.

(that’s one of mine) and do you help athletes or midlife women like I do? And how do you do it? Even if you think you don’t have a unique method or system, I bet you do. You meet with a client first by? Phone call or consultation, currently by zoom. Nothing unique? But what series of questions do you ask them first? Which ones have the most meaning for you when you’re trying to create a step-by-step process? What will you ask them to start, stop, change first? And next? And next? That is probably a system or method you should name. You may not be able to see this “thing” yourself. Someone else can though… consider asking someone else- a dozen someone else’s to tell you why working with you was so great and got them such good results when nothing else had.
