There is something about paying the price that will get you motivated to take part, work harder, study more, learn more and soak in everything available to you in a course, a program or from a coach.

There is something about getting something for nothing, for free, that leaves you uninspired, unappreciative and undermines the true value of what you have before you.

Here is a brief story which is a case in point. One unadvertised area of expertise available from me is career counseling, career coaching, interview and resume guidance. What makes me an expert is experience and excellent results for my clients.

One client recently found me through a google search since my articles appear on www.examiner.com – See the end of this article for a link to a recent article from me on www.examiner.com.

He was frantic. He had a few interviews and these did not go too well. He was now lacking confidence in his ability to interview successfully. There was another interview scheduled at the end of the next week and he wanted to ace it.

We arranged a “get to know you” meeting for twenty minutes. At the end of this meeting we set up three meetings, every other day in order to allow time for practice, study and homework all in preparation for his upcoming interview. My client paid in full prior to each meeting. He prepared, had questions and worked diligently. The phone call after the interview to me was to review how the interview went play by play. In this call a few follow up strategies were immediately put into place. This great voicemail was left for me a few days later: My client aced the interview and he was offered the position!

A career coach relayed this story to me about one of her clients. A recent college graduate was seeking a specific area of work in business. He was currently not working in this area and was seeking to locate this type of position. His father paid for a resume work up, and two career coaching sessions. The client appeared to be interested and excited, however, at the second session did not have a revised resume or a list of potential target companies prepared which were the homework assignments.

At this time, an offer was made to meet or speak one more time only if all work was emailed to her first. The client had emailed a few questions but never completed the assigned items. Through networking the career coach met the exact type of company with the exact type of position her client was seeking and entry level! She was so excited she immediately emailed the client and the father the contact information for the hiring company. A few days later she followed up with her client and he had not contacted the perfect potential employer! As far as she knows he never has contacted them!

You will have to pay the price to be successful. Are you willing to?
