Delivering value - quickly

Since our session last evening, my attention has been focused on Jim's observation that this practice must add noticeable value as soon as possible in order to retain interest.  I couldn't agree with the sentiment more.

What has been confounding me is what to do about it.  Just for the record, I am officially over my "trite" concerns.  I am certain, beyond doubt, that the Mental Pilates practice continues to make significant changes in my own life.  Changes beyond what I had imagined.  My productivity is up, procrastination down, energy up, drinking down, vitality up, lethargy down.  All good signs that I am becoming co-opted by my emotions less frequently, with less duration and intensity.  When I get "tempted" by my bears, I have a go to place in my mind where I simply WILL NOT TOLERATE any negative sentiment being directed towards my Core Identity.  I know that such sentiments are the work of my bears, which have no interest in MY health and wellbeing.  I am absolutely certain that my Core Purpose is to nurture behaviors that elicit vitality!!!  

Your mother's going to LOVE me; I have a special purpose!!!  (movie reference "The Jerk")

Given this reality, the question becomes how do we deliver these benefits as quickly as possible?  My reflection on this divides the prospective clients into the two camps.  For those who are seeking "mental fitness" this practice should deliver early results, as Jim clearly articulated earlier in this blog.  For those who are entangled in behaviors that have co-opted their own Core Identity; i.e. the bears have moved in to stay; the first milestone to strengthen their Core Identity.  That is to drill home the fact that your core identity is NOT the bear.  That the bear is an unwanted being who has taken you hostage; and your sick and tired of being the bear's bitch!!  Gaining absolute clarity about your core identity and purpose IS the path to the tipping point where you can re-co-opt your awareness back from the bear and utilize that new found source of energy to kick its ass out of your life.

I am very interested in anybody's thoughts about how to reach that critical first milestone more effectively and efficiently.  

My final thought on this subject is that the 7 skills in seven weeks webinar program is an Introductory Offer into the Mental Pilates practice.  I do  believe the skills can be "explained" in the seven week program, but just like learning to play a new musical instrument, an explanation is not sufficient.  It requires practice, practice, practice in order to achieve mastery.  Now I'm sure there will be those who are in such a situation that they may become frustrated with the rate of progress.  This is why, in addition to this offer, I offer one-on-one coaching services.  I have experience working with people to identify their Core Identity, their Core Purpose and a Vision that elicits vitality.
