Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Are you [Jason D McClain] available for coaching?
A: That depends on two factors ::: 1. My client load and whether I am currently accepting new clients or not, and 2. Whether I am certain, after speaking with you, that you will, in fact, achieve or exceed your desired outcomes through the Evolutionary process. However, it is always worth inquiring about. It is not a simple first-come first-served thing with me. Ever.
A: $1,500.00 per hour.
Just kidding. I do not discuss fees until we meet in the exploratory session and the client has a better understanding of the work and the value it would bring to their lives. it would simply be inappropriate. I also have a limited number of spots available for "coaching" so I carefully interview my prospective clients--and like to give a full and complimentary exploratory session. When I say full, I mean up to 90 minutes at no charge to be sure we are a fit for each other.
A: We would have an initial chat on the phone to make sure there is good reason for us to work together--primarily my verification that I can help you achieve Your outcomes. If that seems to be the case, then we schedule a complimentary exploratory session. In that session we go into greater detail about what you want to achieve or resolve. I then talk about my approach and how it can assist you in your outcomes. At that point, we review an agreement and choose to work together--or choose not to. to see if we are a good fit for one another--that is, whether your outcomes are well served by my approach.
Then we discuss fees--which are actually quite reasonable, or so I am told.
Q: Are you a licensed therapist? A: No. I am not a licensed California State mental health professional and do not provide psychotherapy, counseling, or any other mental health service that would require a license, nor do I hold myself out to provide such services. I provide consulting and educational services that often result in substantial learning, transformation, and the acceleration of your Personal Evolution.
Q: How is Personal Evolution/Professional different than therapy? A: Therapy is often about diagnosis, classification, and often medicating. It is a problem and illness approach. Personal Evolution is about resolving past events, educating your mind to right thinking, and then deepening your Self. It is a solution approach. An educational approach.
In terms of Professional Evolution, while much of the above may be included, it is also about implementing systems and best practices to achieve the results you want in your life and in your business--be they marketing concepts or specific ethical strategies for increased conversion rates.
No, I do not. If you think about it, 26 hours is very little time--less than a day--regardless of how it is spread out, to take you to a whole new level professionally--to take your business to a whole new level--26 Hours is far less than a weekend workshop--and we all know those don't assist you in integrating the change. I do.
It also allows us to relax into the process, built one phase on the previous, and so on. I have tried to make it shorter, it just does not serve the client.
Q: Why is your longest agreement only 6 months? What if I want a longer agreement?
A: At the end of 6 months, provided you have kept pace with the required reading and completed the tasks, practices, and you should be fully equipped to handle whatever life may throw at you. Fully equipped to manage your own mind. To deepen your Self through whatever practice or path you desire. I am not interested in doing anything but getting my clients to a place of full self-reliance and self-sufficiency. That is not to say that something won’t come up that suggests a small adjustment. A mental chiropractic visit, if you will. But largely, we are done at 6 months and you have the rest of your life to deepen and integrate your learnings.
However, full integration of the Personal Evolution package can sometimes takes longer. So, while the agreement starts with 26 sessions, it can extend. In that case the client agrees to blocks of 4 sessions at a time, and refreshes their account as needed. Additionally, in some cases where there was an especially traumatic past and/or the client wants to deepen their learnings from phase 2 and 3 of the Personal Evolution package, an extension package of approximately 4 sessions might be agreed to, however, I want to stress, that this is the exception, not the rule.
Q: Do you work over the phone?
Yes. More and more almost exclusively. I can also do video calls, so we can see each other. Often, if you are geographically available, we will meet in person the first time for our exploratory session in San Francisco, but after that we can and often do transition to the phone or online video conferencing.
Q: Do you accept insurance?
A: I do not accept insurance. I do not accept personal checks. I do accept: cash, cashier’s checks, money orders, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. And again…all of this is addressed in the exploratory session
Q: Do you have a sliding scale or would you consider trade or barter for other services?
A: The short answer is: no. I simply do not engage with people who can not at least make the modest payments for these incredible services and products. I take credit cards. If you are that serious about transforming your life and your business, you can borrow the money from someone who believes in you and your future. There are many reasons for that. I wish I could help everyone. My heart goes out to them. That said, I do not do so just for my own self interest. After years of experimentation, I have found that in trade and barter situation, people simply do not relate to the work the same way–on both sides. Even with clients who refer dozens of people to me and make hundreds–if not thousands–of dollars through my referral program, I insist on exchanging checks and keeping it separate. We all get more out of the professional relationship–and the relationship is cleaner.
People who are not functional enough in their lives to afford these services as a matter of financial fact are probably deeply in need of Personal Evolution, and are also probably not ready for my approach. Most of my clients are highly functional and already largely satisfied and successful–but they want more for themselves. We just move them from satisfied and successful to “fulfilled and thriving”.
Your first step is to request and then schedule an initial chat. Contact me now to begin that process.
