OK, ever since I sent out my announcement about my new Inner Circle Coaching Club, my inbox has been flooded with questions.

Many of you have already signed up (and in fact, if things continue to go as they currently are, we’re down to a couple free consults at this point), but those of you who haven’t yet may need answers to a couple critical questions before you make a decision.

Your questions and my answers follow:

QUESTION: My intuition is telling me that your new club will help me, but won’t it take up a lot of my time?

ANSWER: I designed this program for moms who have very little time, but still want to do what they can to move forward with their weight loss, with tackling the key issues in their lifestyles that are holding them back from the life they really want to be leading in a body that shows the world how healthy it is.

By tackling a single topic per month – like emotional eating, which is the subject of my upcoming Inner Circle call on Monday, Sept. 21 – you’re not expected to change every single aspect of your lifestyle at once. (That’s precisely why most people fail when they try to “diet”!) My recommendations will always be based on what you can manage in a month.

All you have to have is a couple hours to listen to the monthly teleseminars on your own time, and believe me, I anticipate that most Inner Circle members will do the same thing I do with the seminars I listen to all the time – they’ll take them on the road and listen to them while they commute or shuttle kids to and from activities. (It’s so rare that I have time to just sit down and read a book, but I can take teleseminars with me in my car so I use driving time to learn.)

But I also find that having deadlines on things helps my clients (and me!) stay focused, so I always hold the teleseminars at prescheduled times, and the audios of those calls stay up on the Inner Circle members-only site until the end of the following month. This keeps you from putting off indefinitely what you can tackle now! It’s amazing what just one hour of concentrating learning can do for you twice a month.

QUESTION: What if I decide after I join that I really need personal coaching with you after all?

ANSWER: Certainly one-on-one coaching is available for a very limited number of moms (I take on at most 10 Elite Access clients at any given time, and we’re currently on a short waiting list basis), and Inner Circle membership is a benefit of my Elite Access program as well.

But also keep in mind that there’s a monthly Q&A call that’s free with your Inner Circle membership where you can ask me your questions. And if you do end up wanting more one-on-one time with me than what the Inner Circle provides, you can apply for a spot in my Elite Access program anytime, and you’ll still get access to the Inner Circle content each and every month for as long as we’re working together. Inner Circle members also get priority over non-members for any available coaching spots!

QUESTION: On the Inner Circle site, you mention that you can’t guarantee results. But this is a weight loss program, so why not?

ANSWER: Although I am quite certain that guaranteeing results might boost the number of women who join my Inner Circle, I feel that this type of program isn’t one for which results can be guaranteed.

The reason why most of us struggle to change our lives and lose weight (and I say this because I fell into this category myself) is that we don’t get clear about what we want and then follow through with the steps it takes to make that happen. When the going gets tough, most people drop out.

I’d love to have the magical power it would take to change  your life for you, but in reality, I can’t make anyone follow through who doesn’t want to. If you don’t want it enough to be willing to stretch a little beyond your comfort zone, I can’t make you. And I can’t actually motivate you to want to do anything you don’t want to do yourself. Motivation is something that comes from within ourselves, a belief that we can achieve change.

BUT … having said all that, certainly I have designed the Inner Circle to be exactly the kind of program that would have helped me immensely when I was struggling in the same way you are now, and I’ve listened to my clients’ and subscribers’ questions to determine what they struggle with the most so that I can help you in the best way with the challenges that are the toughest, that make you feel the most scared, overwhelmed or frustrated.

In other words, I help you with the problems you need a trusted mentor to guide you on so that you can clear away the negative thoughts that are holding you back, so that you can get the weight off, keep pressing ahead and create an amazing life for yourself that you’re thrilled about every day.

And I also, via weekly reminder emails, keep reminding you of the TRUTH, which is that you CAN change your life, you CAN make this happen for yourself, you CAN stay motivated and focused and achieve what you want for yourself. (And if that isn’t motivation, I don’t know what is!)

We re currently offering a 21-day $1 trial because I know that you need to see for yourself how helpful my monthly Inner Circle coaching will be for you, and you can cancel anytime before it’s up and you won’t billed another dime. And if you choose to leave the Inner Circle later on, you can cancel anytime and won’t be charged again. You’re in the driver’s seat here, and if you want to change your life, you can do it, and I’d love to help you get there.

Have more questions? I’m happy to help.
