After my preview call for the DECIDE to be Organized Group Coaching Program last week, many of you have sent in questions, which I appreciate. It made me realize that many of you may have the same questions… so here’s a look at a few common questions and the answers so that you can make an informed decision about joining the DECIDE program.

And while I am a person that likes to stick to deadlines, all of the questions coming in made me realize that some of you may need a bit more time to “decide”, so I am extending the early bird rate of $397 ($100 savings!) until Friday, February 17th. The program starts next week on February 21st. When you are ready (but before the rate goes up!), register here: http://bit.ly/decidetobeorganized

Is the DECIDE program delivered online or on the telephone? Please explain the format.
The program is delivered via teleclass, which means all you need is a telephone to participate. You’ll receive a special dial-in number and access code. Of course, if you want to be in front of your computer while we are on the live teleclass, you can do so. You receive the 58-page workbook when you register, and can choose to follow along on your computer, but you don’t have to.

What if I can’t make the live calls? Will that affect what I get out of the program?
Absolutely not! I’ve created this course to fit a variety of busy lifestyles. After each week’s class I’ll post the audios – so you can listen on the web, or download an .MP3 file – that way you can listen at the gym, during your commute, while runni ng errands or working around the house. If you still have questions about the material on the call you missed, just email me with any questions or comments. You can listen to the audios over and over if you wish. And you can come back to the program months or years later to refresh or deepen your learning.

What if I don’t know which organizing projects I want to work on?
Part of the process of the DECIDE group coaching program is learning to discover what your organizing goals are, which projects you want to work on, and what will bring you the most satisfaction if accomplished.

Does the DECIDE program deliver great value for the cost of the investment?
Yes! Do some research. You’ll find this is one of the most affordable programs (and the most comprehensive) of its kind. I have kept the cost down so that many people can access my services in an affordable manner and get the assistance they need. The cost of the program is a fraction of what it would cost to work with me one-on-one. Yet, you still get personalized access to me due to the small size of the group, and the chance to learn from other participants too!

I’ve tried to get organized in the past, but did not have much success — how is your approach different?
Hopefully the preview call I did on February 7th gave you a little window into my approach. Trust me, if you enjoyed that call, you’re going to LOVE the actual program as we dig a lot deeper!

But here’s the bottom line:

I can’t make you listen to the calls, or work on your organizing projects in between the calls. But I can tell you that the content I’ll be covering and materials provided are powerful! They allow you to dig deep and change your mind-set, tap into your unique organizing style, and allow change to happen. Plus, there is a healthy dose of practical tools and tips, so it is not all pi e-in-the-sky and you can implement immediately and get results.

I’ve also experienced first-hand the strides past participants of the program have made – some going from piles of clutter to organized systems; some letting go of old habits that have stood in the way of their living a more productive life; some getting better organized which leads to more time to focus on what truly matters; and some even changing their lives in drastic ways during or after the program, like changing careers!

Trust me, I understand that you’re a smart, busy person who wants deep, lasting changes. That’s why I’ve designed the program to provide the following support:

1. Weekly Teleclasses – so you keep your momentum – great for auditory learners!
2. Email access to me and the group – so you are not alone and can share your experience with others.
3. A comprehensive 58-page workbook with interactive exercises to reinforce your learning – so the program is experiential – great for visual + experiential learners!
4. Downloadable audios – so you can listen at your leisure, or review again and again to deepen your learning.
5. Feedback to your questions – so you don’t get stuck, and can get personalized feedback.
6. An MP3 recording of my most popular audio program “Record Retention 101: Organize Your Paperwork” – so you know what papers to keep and for how long — just in time for tax season! (This is the first time I am including this bonus because so many past DECIDE participants needed special help with paper.)
7. Assignments and accountability – so you keep your momentum, and get the most possible from the program.
8. Post-program laser coaching call – so you can check in with me after the program to ask any lingering questions and, hopefully, share your continued progress.

When are the classes being held?
The DECIDE program runs for 6 weeks, with 90 minute calls every Tuesday evening, 7:30 – 9:00 p.m. (Eastern), from February 21st to March 27th.

I have a busy life – I’m not sure if I can devote enough time to the program.
I completely understand! But here’s the beauty of the program: there’s absolutely no “right” way to do it.

If you can’t listen to all of the calls, or do all of the exercises, don’t fret! You have the audios and workbook to go back to for years to come.

Even if you only walk away with one amazing new insight (which is almost impossible, because I’ll be sharing a TON!) — that one insight can affect your overall behavior and results in a serious boost in productivity which can help you achieve results at home, in business, and in life. I promise.

I ‘m thinking of taking this program at a later date – when will you be teaching this again?
I usually offer this program in February and October. But this program isn’t on my calendar again for 2012. There are other programs that I need to make room for that are launching later this year (great stuff coming — keep on the lookout!). So there’s no guarantee that I’ll be repeating the DECIDE program in the near future. In fact, it may be the last time I offer it live…

What I do know is this: for what you’ll receive, and how this information can affect the rest of your future — it’s a total steal.

I want you to think about something that we cover in depth in the program: delayed decisions are what most likely caused you to get disorganized in the first place! Don’t let the decision of whether to join this program that has the potential to change your behavior, space, time, relationships and life be just one more “delayed decision”! That would be a s ad irony.

Now, if you know that this program is not for you, then, by all means do not feel compelled to join us.

But…

If this program is calling you, then I have to gently nudge you and ask:

“Isn’t INDECISIVENESS what got you into this mess in the first place?”

I am a Professional Organizer looking for continuing education. Does this program qualify?
Yes! If you are a professional organizer and are looking for continuing education, the DECIDE group coaching is perfect for you too! You can take the program to learn a great new organizing process that you can use with your clients. I will issue a Certificate of Attendance at the end of the program that you can use to support 9 hours of continuing education credits. In the p ast, organizers have taken the program along with non-organizers as a way to further their organizing skills and add a new process to their repertoire. You can too!

What if I want to refer my clients, friends and colleagues to the DECIDE program and earn a referral fee?
I bet you have colleagues, clients, and friends that would like to find out how they can lead a more organized, productive, and peaceful life. I have an affiliate (referral) program where if someone purchases one of my products or programs that you referred them to, you automatically get 20% of the sale! It’s that easy… tell your friends, colleagues and clients and if they buy, you earn a commission. All you have to do is sign up to be an LMOS affiliate and you’re given a special link to pass on to your colleagues, clients and friends.

I hope this special Q&A session has helped you ” decide” to join me for the DECIDE to be Organized Group Coaching Program. (I don’t want you to have this program sitting around on your “to do” list all week!)

Have more questions? Ask away! Just reply to this email . . .

I can’t wait for the opportunity to start working with you.
