I agree with Sarah. The longest time personal trainer at my gym shows them where they are at the end of every session, I think, and then he usually talks about what to do until next time and when to meet next time at that time while the paper is laying (is it lying) out on the table.
Jean-Paul, I like what you are saying, and if you have any techniques to get to the state of mind that make asking for money a simple thing, I would love to listen. When and how did you acquire such confidence? I'm reading Anthony Robbins' Unlimited Power right now, and it's great. I notice that it's very hard to push away "worst case scenerio thoughts" from my mind and only let in the good one's, and then I get nervous, my mouth gets dry, I sweat, my heart rate increases and my face muscles tighten up. Heh. I can be serious as you say, but unless I add charisma/ confidence you are talking about, it will come off as angry and cold. I'll post more once I read more of the book, but I think it has a lot to deal with understanding our true goals, and being honest with ourselves, and our perceptions, which create confidence, even more so than organization and momentum success, although those seem to contribute.
