A sales trainer was giving a talk recently where he asked a curious question.\u00a0 For coaches like me, he recommended asking new prospects, \u201cDo you want the result or do you want the process?\u201d<\/p>\n

To illustrate his point, he asked his audience, \u201cWho here wants to get in better shape?\u201d More than a few people raised their hands. He picked a woman whose hand was raised and asked her, \u201cDo you actually want to work out or do you want to lose weight?\u201d<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cI just want to lose weight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat,\u201d he said. \u201cYou\u2019re a ‘haver.’\u00a0 You want to ‘have’ the result.”<\/p>\n

“Me,” he said, “I\u2019m a \u2018doer\u2019 who likes the process. I actually like to work out . . . .\u00a0 I want to sweat, I want to work hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

So for coaches who want to attract a lot of good prospects, he advised marketing messages focused on\u00a0 the end results people want, not the process that gets them there.<\/p>\n

Curious Advice\u00a0 <\/strong>What’s curious about this advice is:\u00a0 Can you really get results without the process?<\/p>\n

In other words, if you want a certain result, doesn’t that mean it’s not currently happening for you?\u00a0 To make it happen, then, wouldn’t you need to do something different, i.e., undertake a process of transformation?<\/p>\n

Looks to me like we have to be “doers” to be “havers.” <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Marketing Fantasies\u00a0<\/strong> It’s a fantasy perpetuated by the American marketing machine:\u00a0 That you can have every last thing you want.\u00a0 Period.<\/p>\n

Really, life is a continuous string of trade offs.<\/i>\u00a0 To get one thing, you must trade off something else.\u00a0 For instance, the result of good health comes only with a trade-off of the time and effort to do the steps that bring good health.<\/p>\n

Marketers do a disservice to our health by failing to be upfront about the “doing” that must be done to achieve it.\u00a0 We end up with dashed expectations and give up hope that we can ever achieve this thing called “good health.”<\/p>\n

Wise-ening Up<\/strong>\u00a0 Of course, it doesn’t help that we are pretty gullible.\u00a0 “You get what you pay for,” is a truism for a reason!\u00a0 And we’ve all heard it a hundred times:\u00a0 Pay little to achieve the treasure you want and you will get a treasure that isn’t worth much.<\/p>\n

Likewise, do very little to achieve the gift of good health and you get very little in the way of good health.<\/p>\n

Ready to Do?\u00a0<\/strong> If you’re ready to start the “doing” so you can “have” the wondrous gift of good health, you’re in the right place.\u00a0 Put it on your calendar now:\u00a0 Starting January 24, 2019, discover and do the #1 Best and Most Brilliant Way to Make All Your Healthy Eating Dreams Come True.<\/a> \u00a0 Don’t wait any longer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
