How it works
There are 10 content videos that you watch at the rate of one per week where each step of the process is presented along with detailed explanation, examples, templates, and answers to frequently asked questions. Each content video concludes with a homework assignment.
You submit your homework after each session.
Each content video will be followed by a live coaching session. During the 10 live coaching sessions I will review your situation, your homework and answer any questions YOU have.
All the sessions will be recorded so that you can go back and review any sessions again or make up for any missed sessions.
In addition to these 10 content videos and 10 live coaching sessions you will receive 5 BONUS videos. These videos cover:
