The Gift Principle
I choose to follow The Gift Principle in how I would be paid for my services.
In essence, you always pay in accordance with the value you receive while being considerate to your own financial situation. In other words, you always pay “after” the service has been rendered.
In determining the amount you’d pay me for my coaching sessions, I invite you to consider the following:
[1] For each session, I spend 100 minutes to 200 minutes, which consists of preparation, the session itself, and follow-up.
[2] I also take the proper time to write you and respond to your questions in between sessions. I do this gladly because I believe the interaction we have beyond the sessions fertilizes your personal growth.
In determining the amount you’d pay me for my “Offerings”, or workshops, courses, and consultations, I invite you to consider the following:
[1] The expertise I have and the time I take for preparation and follow-up.
[2] The money I may need to spend to rent a space or buy a license for online meeting platforms such as Zoom
[3] The “vibration” you feel I emanate, which is the intention and personal practice that I bring to my work on a daily basis.
Of course, always consider what is the value you actually receive and be considerate to your own financial situation.
I choose to follow The Gift Principle, because I believe it is part of what is needed for our collective consciousness to shift towards an economy that is based on the reality that we, and all life, are sacred.
You can learn more about the above from the book Sacred Economics, which was written by Charles Eisenstein. The book cover below provides a link to his website. The research he has done on the topic of money is simply magnificent.
