I had the worst week of my life last week
Over the past 4 years, a huge part of my life has been looking after Bambi. She's one of my two chihuahuas, Bambi and Belle :-) Bambi is my first dog. I will never forget the journey we have been on together. And maybe there’s a part of me that thought I would have a child. But that didn’t happen. So a dog is what I have. And she has been the perfect dog for me. But she has suffered with epilepsy and seizures for years. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster. Last week… She had a small seizure, which isn't unusual for her. But then she started struggling to breathe. She'd eaten as normal. Dinner in the evening. Breakfast in the morning. But her breathing was getting worse by the hour. So I rushed her to our local vet. His face said it all. "Dude, she's got like half an hour maximum.” My heart stopped. He explained he only had basic breathing equipment. No portable oxygen. No scanning gear. Nothing that could save her. The only place that could help was 30 minutes away. 30 minutes she didn't have. So I drove there in 10. They were ready for us. Whisked her straight into an oxygen tank. By Thursday, they had four possible diagnoses: Lung worm. Cancer. Blood clot. Pneumonia. I was broken. Mentally preparing to dig a grave on Friday. Then out of nowhere the vet called and said: “She’s getting a little better, but we need to put her under anesthetic for an operation.” She still had only 1 in 5 chance of survival. And even then… She would need mechanical breathing which would cost £10,000. Ouch, I thought… But breathing sounds like good value to me. If she died during anesthetic, at least I'd know I'd done everything possible. So we went for it… . . . . . . . . And she made it through. Even better… She didn't need the mechanical breathing (saving me 10 grand, thank you very much Bambi ). Next thing we know… Suddenly she’s having this radical remission where she's getting better and better and better! They targeted what they believed was lung worm with specific medication.

Just read your email about Bambi Ed - take care of her and Belle and of course yourself.
New category Suggestion
Hi I am wondering if an additional category could be set up for those daily posting their 'I take responsibility' statements? I find that members posts where they have asked questions or have posted something for review are getting lost very soon after posting. This is a real shame as the opportunity to get help and offer help is being lost. Hope this can be given some consideration - I can't believe it hasn't been suggested before. Many thanks @Ed J C Smith
Anyone who had a break?
I had a break from the program during the summer and I returned today. All the hustle and grind was getting in to me but this week I decided that I need to get back to the program and really go through it. I rewatched some parts of the first 3 modules and found that so important, because I feel I gathered some new information that I didn't register before. I have grown during the summer, I believe 😊 My mindset has also changed a bit during the break and I feel even more confident of myself and overall. I also found so many amazing posts here that it was really nice to get back here and learn from others as well. Thank you all for being here as a community that supports others! 🙏

Consolidation happens when we step away for a little while. Welcome back.
HVG Feedback
Hello everyone! I'm super excited that I just finished the first draft of my HVG. Ed's framework in COA made this pretty easy to put together. That said, I'm looking for feedback before I start sharing it with potential clients. Let me know what you think.

Hi Nick, thank you for sharing your pdf. I have also taken a look at your website to ensure that the look and feel are consistent across the products. And for the most part I think it is. One of the things on your website pages that I like is your use of your imagine statements at the bottom of each page. I wonder if you could include two or three of these at the end of each Reason. This would provide a gentle CTA at the end of each section. You could then move the quote to sit above, below or beside your image. I also wonder if the reasons could have the word 'yet' at the end of each heading. Your perspective clients are going to be feeling rather vulnerable and starting each of your reasons with 'you don't' may come across as though they are being told off. Almost like something their life partner may say to them. They are going to be coming to you with hope for the change they want to see in themselves. Finally I spotted a typo on page 15 - in one of your blue words - THIKNK - should be THINK. Hope this is helpful.

@Nick Schader Not a problem - glad it was helpful and implementable so quickly.
Coaching Programmes
Firstly thanks for the book - read it twice and still picking up gems. Second - I am revamping my coaching packages - I currently have 3 month packages of 6, 121 coaching sessions and access to me between sessions on Voxer or What's app. Where necessary there are printable exercise sheets and in the next couple of months I will be sending all new coaching clients a coaching journal which I have designed. £1500 investment - Is anyone else including anything else in their packages and if so what? Many thanks for your insights and help.
