DEMAND - How much demand is there for what you do?
To get the results people are looking for in a shorter period of time than most trainers, I believe the demand for me is high. I believe this goes back to the previous post about knowing what screw to turn.
ABILITY - How able are you to meet the demand?
If you asked me 12 months ago. How confident are you when a client comes in and wants to lose a certain amount of weight? I'd probably asked not very confident at all. Now, I know what i can achieve and know what my clients can achieve.
What we tend to do, well I do this, is take what we learn for granted and think that what we are showing our clients or telling our clients is average information. In some people cases, the information may seem groundbreaking to them. I think if we really look back and see what we've achieved, we'd appreciate our abilities much more.
DIFFICULTY TO REPLACE - How hard would it be to replace you right now?
I think at the moment I'm quite hard to replace but over time and through more experience I could be replaced. This is certainly something I'm currently working on to become more uniquie and therefore more difficult to replace.

How much am I worth PART 2
Ok, so the reason for part 2?
I didn't complete part 1 properly, I avoided the question and didn't get a away with it.
When Dax mentioned about his family time and adventures that his took, it all began to fall into place.
I'm worth (by the hour)£65 at least, it's not what I charge but it is what I'm worth. The reason being is that I could be working on my ebooks to make passive incomes, I could be spending what little time I have with my fiancee. I worth it because I know what screws to turn. (see story below).
I got this story from either a Tony Robbins cd or from Stephen Covey.
This one time in a big shopping mall where there were say a dozen escalators, all at the time these escalators broke down. This was close to being the mall's biggest nightmare.
They wanted to make sure that they found the best man for the job, someone who they trusted to fix it. When the service man arrived he looked the escalators up and down and opened one of the units. He took out his srewdriver and truned the one screw half an inch. As soon as he turned it, the entire malls escalators began to move and all started working again.
The manager couldn't believe it and asked the service man how much it will all cost.
The service man confidently, replied '$10,000' to which the manager said 'what, for 5 minutes work, I want an itemised bill for that.'
The service man wrote on a piece of paper his itemised bill, here's what he wrote.
Turning the screw $1, know what screw to turn $9,999.
Thats how I currently rate myself. I know what screws to turn and I'm being to value my time more.

Day 3
For the past 2 mornings now I've woke up with an excited and nervous feeling. Had a chat with Bev (my lap dancing fiancee as Dax put's it. Though for the record, she's not) and decided that I need to fill the whole of my day with preparation and work towards my/our business.
The one thing we've been asked to do it say how much we are worth. I used to have a real problem with this as I probably had very little self worth and on many occasions myself and Dax talked about how I feel about charging what I do.
Per hour I charge £50 and I now know that I'm worth much more than that now. Not just because of the experience I've had at the studio, but because of the passion that I have in training of my clients and genuine care for my clients.
So how much do I really think I'm worth?
After all I've just said, I really don't know, but I DO know my time is valuable and I aim to make the most of it through this mentor program and for the future.

Dax Moy Mentor Programme
Day 1 on Dax Moy's Mentor programme (in my head I'm hearing the geordie from Big Brother say that) all the house mates are.............sorry I'll stop now!
My name's Kevin Raison, I'm currently a senior coach at Dax's studio in Islington. I say currently, because I'm soon to be moving back to my home town of Birmingham UK to set up my own version of what Dax does down here in London.
I've been working with Dax for just over a year now and have learned an unbelievable amount of marketing, training, nutrition, therapy and tons more. Although I have been extremely fortunate to work with Dax, I took a big risk. I decided to take out a loan and move everything down to London (apart from my fiancee who wasn't too happy).
Anyway, a year on and I'm setting up on my own and I'm still with my fiancee. When Dax approached me about the mentor course I couldn't believe my luck, it just seems like the perfect opportunity and time for me to do this. Which brings to to yesterday (25/10/2007).
After the first call yesterday I was buzzing and nervous. I know what Dax is like, in the first week I started at the studios I mentioned that I'd like to do public speaking and my main interest was nutrition/weight manangement. Within my second week of being there I was setting up and preparing for my first course and playing the role of Simon Cowell by having to eliminate certain hopefuls who wanted to come on.
Yes, it's true, I love that man, I love him so much. He really is the man and I can't get over how badly I'm letting him down by leaving to set up home with my lap-dancing fiancee. (Dax wrote that while my back was turned so I'd thought I'd leave it in to show you what I have to put up with).
To end, I cant wait to really get going on this 6 month course. I already woke up this morning at about 12:30am and spent an hour finishing off my magic hundred list and writing what I'm going to achieve in the next 6 months.
I'm really looking forward to working with you all.
