That's perfectly fine. A lot of people who went on to become clients weren't ready when I first met them for a whole host of reasons. As they say, "Timing is everything!"

Some of them began by reading my book, others attended one of my workshops, or perhaps heard me speak at a networking event first.

One person delayed because they were in the middle of moving house; another was moving business premises; another wanted to get some pressing bills out of the way before they invested in coaching; sometimes life just gets in the way!

One client had known me for two years and had read my book and been impressed with it. He announced at a networking breakfast that this was the year he needed some coaching, so he was going to call me to get started. It still took him another six months before we finally started working together on his situation.

At least these days, and especially since the COVID lockdowns we know that coaching can be achieved in many ways, both in person and online, or even by phone.

I'd rather that you are ready, willing and able, and in the right frame of mind to begin when we do.

That said, even if we have started, and something urgent comes up, we can always put our agreement on hold while you deal with whatever it is. I'm totally flexible.

If you'd like to have a chat, that's fine. One client delayed six months to get some stuff out of the way before we commenced. Then I helped encourage and guide her to start her own business, in which she went on to be phenomenally successful.
