Realizing that learning is a never ending journey, I am always enjoying it while aiming at its destination. Despite some background, there is still so much for me to learn and my current goals in this section are: 1) To make some extra time available for rewatching my mock calls as I saw that this is a fine shortcut to work on myself by spotting and destructuring more quickly the eventual wrong reflexes in empathic communication. 2) Perfecting the art of the CODEX 9 approach by optimally surfing on the middle line between its scripted steps and the eventual adaptation of the rules to each specific case during each role play. 3) Closing the first deals in order to repay back the mentors and the peer community fellows that have contributed to my growth ASAP. What I am trully thankful is that in this process I end up knowing myself more and more or rememebering better who I already are in the deepest of my soul and that feels really empowering... As Bruce Lee used to say: ''All types of knowledge ultimately mean self-knowledge.''

@Tove Nordling I wouldn't say so as I've applied only marginally some principles of the bue ocean strategy in that process and it wasn't meant to open a specific new market to avoid competition, but rather to allow to several big customers to compete against each other in the same market with some slightly different items that are mainly fitting their respective particular clientele and their specific business model. The blue ocean strategy is anyways a field I would like to get more expert in my next adventures 😊 Did you already have any experrience with that? How did it go?

True, being uniquely oneself is indeed already an empowering strategy and although the fact that ''removing yourself from the equation'' is actually one of its foundations, Soulful Selling has its own particular way to bring the sales drive back to its most natural and effective way. Very interesting to see that you've found a gap in the market that you can fill up with your precious and personalized expertise, thanks for such exchange. Is its backwheel also related to TCM diets and Taoist sexual energy practice ?

Hi Fabienne, From a macro-perspective: - Which % of your actual competitors around that potential customer for this particular market of life coaching do you have in your active network ? - What ''consuetudo'' have that market community evetually established to handle in a non-negotiable or multi-optional way such last minute change of schedule? - In any case, what can you do to establish a solution that becomes the new common way of handling such issues in that market with the most integrity and benefit for both sides? Other trigger question: Do you see the reason why it's important to have such prior info? Let me try to explain: I see you're asking this community such info/advice, however it's important for me to know how much you already know about those aspects above as the eventual ''rule'' is half created by the market itself through out the common behaviours of the main players. In other words I wonder in case your customer goes today to somebody else in that market, if she'll 90% have the same reply to such request and what that reply would likely sound like... I am not in that market but maybe this micro-quest can help: can I compare this scenario to a flight ticket whose price increases a bit if the passsenger wants to reschedule it's journey dates? Is there any cancel fee that is normally applied if the change of plan happens too late? Or is this more a human oriented field where each situation gets treated in a different way without pre-agreement on sales terms and conditions? ... Still, the market general consuetudo around that topic would help to stresslessy motivate your non-negotiable position or to give more value to your exceptional allowance in case you grant a better condition in exchange of future extra engagement. This being said, awaiting to know more on this scenario, my provisory ''smartest most conscious thing to do, without disrespecting buisness values would probaly sound like this: ''Hello dear, I am so glad to read that you are willing to make sure you’ll be giving your all to this journey and congratulations for this new project as well, you’re taking its challenging aspect in a good way and that’s also a great start.
