8-10 points…You are ready to make the investment and hire a coach!
Your commitment level is high and you will achieve a lot from working with a coach.
5-7 points… You are
almost there. During your trial session work with your coach on areas that are getting in your way and ask them to support
you in removing those blocks so you can move forward to create the changes you want.
0-4 points… You are

ready for the process of change.
