Ladies, I've heard it countless times: "I'd love to work with you, but I just can't afford coaching." It's a common concern, and I understand the hesitation. But what if I told you that the real cost isn't always about the dollars and cents? Often, it's about our priorities and how we perceive value.

We're all guilty of it. We convince ourselves we can't afford something without truly examining our spending habits. We might be surprised to find that we're spending more on things that offer fleeting pleasure than on investments that truly enhance our quality of life.

Just the other day, I had a conversation with a woman who reached out about coaching. She was excited about the prospect of transforming her health but immediately balked at the price. "I just can't fit that into my budget right now," she said.

Later that same day, I saw her post on social media asking for recommendations for tattoo artists. She ended up booking an appointment and getting a tattoo that cost three times the amount of my coaching program.

It got me thinking: It's not that she couldn't afford coaching; it's that she prioritized a tattoo over investing in her health.

Another client of mine, initially convinced she couldn't afford coaching, sat down with me for a budget review. We discovered she was spending twice the cost of coaching on weekly taco and margarita nights with her friends. While those nights were fun, they weren't contributing to her long-term health and wellness goals.

The Hidden Costs of Neglecting Your Health

We often underestimate the true cost of neglecting our health and fitness. It's not just about the number on the scale or the way our clothes fit. It's about:

• Decreased Energy Levels: Feeling constantly tired and sluggish impacts every aspect of your life.

• Reduced Confidence: Not feeling comfortable in your own skin can affect your relationships, career, and overall happiness.

• Increased Health Risks: Neglecting your health can lead to chronic diseases and costly medical bills down the line.

• Missed Opportunities: When you're not feeling your best, you're less likely to participate in activities you enjoy and create meaningful memories.

The ROI of Investing in Yourself

Investing in your health and fitness isn't an expense; it's an investment in your overall well-being. Think about the return on investment:

• Increased Energy and Vitality: You'll have more energy to enjoy life and be present for your loved ones.

• Improved Confidence and Self-Esteem: You'll feel more confident in your body and empowered to pursue your goals.

• Enhanced Quality of Life: You'll experience the mood-boosting benefits of exercise and feel happier and more fulfilled.

• Better Results in other areas of life: Imagine how much better every tattoo would look on a fit and healthy canvas. How much more fun every night out with friends would be when you feel good in your own skin.

Making Fitness a Priority

It's time to shift our perspective and prioritize our health. Instead of asking, "Can I afford coaching?" ask, "Can I afford not to invest in my well-being?"
