Get Your Read In Gear Frequently Asked Questions
1. I’m not sure now is a great time to participate in GYRIG. Will you offer it again in the future?
Mostly likely I will offer a version of this class in the future BUT I can absolutely promise you it will cost a whole lot more on the next go round. To make it easier for those who are feeling pressed for time (more on that later) I’ve made it super easy by allowing you to invest in each individual module. If you think this course can make a significant difference for you, grab your seat now.
2. What if I only want to participate in one of the modules? Is that possible?
Because this course builds on what you learn, you must participate in each module successively. Meaning, to participate in Module 2, you must participate in Module 1; to participate in Module 3, you must participate in Modules 1 and 2.
The exception to this is Module 1. You may participate in Module 1 and not in Modules 2 or 3.
3. Will this course give me a rock solid foundation that will support the business (and life) that I want to build?
This is THE critical result reported by those who have graduated from previous versions of this course and one that is so important to me. Beginning with Lesson #1, you will begin to feel solid ground growing under your feet to see the “light at the end of the tunnel” and how to prevent those nasty train wrecks that often happen between work life and home life. At the end of 8 weeks, you will feel, not only laser focused on your personal success factors, but light and relaxed as you go about your daily life. Sound good? I think so, too:)
4. Will GYRIG teach me how to “get out of my own way”?
As a business coach and strategist, I have the advantage of seeing you and your business from 10,000 feet. Using this unique perspective, I can see where you are creating stumbling blocks for yourself. Part of your work with me will be devoted to uncovering –and then removing- these unnecessary stressors.
5. Will this course show me how to create a crystal clear vision of where I want to be AND a step-by-step strategy for getting there?
Yes. The very core of this class is based on creating a vision for your entire life (not just your business). I will walk you through the exact process of creating a “no-fail” step-by-step strategy that will easily (almost effortlessly) keep you on track every day.
6. Will GYRIG teach me how to uncover the hidden landmines that are sabotaging my success?
Yes! In Module 1, Class #3, you will uncover those roadblocks that you may not even know are standing between you and the success you desire. As one of my clients said, “I didn’t even know I was supposed to be aware of that. Now that I am, I can get on top of it and get it out of my way!”
7. Will this course show me how to stand out in a loud, crowded marketplace?
You can count on it. Beginning in Module 3, we concentrate on developing a way of talking about your business – and conducting your business activities – that is unique to you, your business and your life. This will make it SO much easier to stand out from the crowd – because you won’t sound like anyone else in it!
8. Will GYRIG help me structure my time so that I know when I am working and when I am not working (and able to enjoy the other parts of my life)?
I’m an entrepreneur who loves what I do, so I know how easy it is to fall into the trap of working (or least thinking about work!) all the time. But here’s the thing, no matter how much we love what we do, having that channel on 24/7 leads to stress, overwhelm, and people who love me who are not very happy about my business.
In Module 2, you will put together your unique Success Calendar that will help you structure your time around the things that are important to you and give you the concentration, focus, and free time that are so critical to success.
And don’t worry – this is not another “time management” system. My husband will tell you that I balk at anything that smacks of that! You will learn a simple technique that changed the way I work – and the way hundreds of my clients’ work – while still experiencing a successful business and a successful life.
9. Will this course give me the tools I need to work “smarter” rather than “harder”?
Oh yeah! Each week, you will build your “tool box” until it is full of smart strategies. We all feel the press of “not enough time”. But I want to teach you how to make that feeling a rare exception rather than standard operating procedure. You will learn what to say “Yes” to and what to say “No” to – so that you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are only investing time in those activities that will take you exactly where you want to go.
10. Will this course tell me how to find those prospects that I easily and naturally connect with?
One of my favorites – yes! It’s easy to feel like “everyone is a prospect” for your business. BUT, there are people who are “a natural fit” both for you and what you have to offer. You will learn how to identify these people and position yourself in a way that is so meaningful to them that they will literally seek you out.
11. Will GYRIG give me private one-on-one access to Sarah?
I will be in our private course forum answering questions as often as I can. I find that by doing this helps everyone learn from everyone else and is as close as you can get to a private one on one session with me. (It also keeps this course incredibly affordable.)
You can also have the option of adding a private laser coaching session to your Get Your Rear In Gear package for only $175 – that is $75 off my usual laser session rate. You must purchase your laser coaching session with your Get Your Rear In Gear Seat to receive this special pricing.
12. Can Get Your Rear In Gear really help ME?
I truly believe that it can. If you are a committed entrepreneur with at least six months “field experience” under your belt, you will experience a significant return on your investment.
That said, I can teach you all the strategies and techniques that I know and it will have absolutely NO impact on your business if you do nothing with it. You will learn brand new, cutting edge tactics and I will ask you to put them into practice while we are in class. If you are closed to new ways of thinking or believe that you already know everything you need to know, then you really can’t gain much from this class.
13. Will GYRIG show me how to effectively meet, follow-up with and close prospective clients?
Yes! Lesson #7 is completely devoted to giving you and very easy tool to track your prospects from initial meeting through closing the sale. You will learn the critical elements of each stage of your relationship, and your “must-do’s” if you want to create a continuous flow of income producing business from these relationships.
14. Will this course teach me exactly what to say to pull my ideal prospects toward me?
In Lesson #6, you will create your own compelling way of talking about your business. The method I will teach you is unique to your own business and way of working (no cookie-cutter scripts here!). This makes it so much easier to attract your ideal prospective customers and clients toward you and DRAMATICALLY stand out from your competition.
15. Will this course teach me how to position myself as an “expert” in my community?
In today’s competitive marketplace, consumers are looking for experts to solve their problems. In this course I will teach you specific techniques that you can implement immediately to be THE recognized expert in your local area – and beyond.
I have a client who used just one of my strategies and is now a regular columnist in her local paper – getting her name and her business in front of 9,000 eyeballs a week!
16. Will GYRIG teach me how to actually reach the goals I set?
You will learn how to break down your goals into bite-sized chunks that will take you step-by-step toward your goal. You will always know exactly where you are in relation to where you want to be. You will also know the specific “next step” you must take. This technique yields almost instant, dramatic results for my clients.
17. Will this course teach me how to know exactly what I should be working on to yield the most bang for the buck?
Successful business people seem to have the innate ability to know exactly what they should be working on at all times (and, more importantly, what they should NOT be working on).
As we develop your unique and personal business goals and strategies, you will also develop the skills and the confidence you need to make smart choices for your focus and energy. Imagine walking into your office each day and knowing EXACTLY what you need to work on and accomplish to move toward your goals. This is what will happen for you as a part of this business-shifting course.
18. What if I can’t make every call?
That is ok. I’ve actually designed this course around that fact that you probably won’t be able to make every call. Each call is recorded and made available to you within 24 hours at our private class website. I would like you to make as many live calls as possible, of course – because that is the fastest and easiest way to get your questions answered.
19. Do I have to do homework every week?
You can skip the weekly homework if you want to, but ….your business will not shift as quickly as it could. You will need to set aside about an hour a week to complete your assignments. This is the fastest way I know to begin implementing what you learn AND reaping the benefits of your new-found success strategies.
20. Will GYRIG instantly change my business and produce instant six figure income?
This is not a “get rich quick” course. So often in this industry I watch people jump from idea to idea on the promise that it will shoot you to the top in record time. They are on the hunt for that “magic pill”. If that is what you are looking for, this course is not for you.
Instead, I teach a method of successful working and living. If you follow the process and methods that I teach you – along with my support and coaching along the way – you will reach your desired success, and probably faster than you thought.
21. What if I don’t want to invest in myself and my business?
You know that saying, “you have to invest money to make money?” – it is absolutely true. I would go one step further and say “You have to wisely invest money to make money.” Many of my clients tell me that they’ve thrown hundreds of dollars away on classes and products that promised so much and delivered so little. They go on to say that this course is refreshingly different and that they start seeing the benefits of applying what they learn almost immediately.
If you get three new clients from participating in GYRIG, the course will pay for itself. (And expect you to AT LEAST add that much to your business!)
The investment in GYRIG is a small investment in your future success, don’t you think?
I hope I’ve answered some of the questions that may be coming up for you as you consider Get Your Rear In Gear.

If you know your foundation could use some shoring up so that you launch into the second half of 2010 like a rocket ship, I so hope you will join me for this course.
