Personal Encouragement Services

I provide affordable personal encouragement services to persons who seek to clarify, set, and achieve goals.  These goals may perhaps be in the areas of bodyfat loss, exercise, nutrition, living successfully with chronic illness, or other goals that a person desires to achieve.  My encouragement services can be conducted over the Internet using a live-chat feature on this site, or you can use my TOLL FREE number for our meetings.  If you are calling for a meeting, you can contact me at the appointed time at 1.888.221.4288.  This toll free number is for anyone in the U.S.  If you are from outside the U.S., I have an online chat feature that you can use free over the internet using our computer keyboards much like an instant message.  However, if you prefer to use voice communication and are outside the U.S. you will have to pay for the call.

Personal encouragement services offers a unique blend of information from psychological and spiritual perspectives, educational sources, and personal experience, to assist the customer in achieving their goals.  I do not push my own beliefs on my customers.  However, I do assist the customer in examining possible positives and negatives of their own beliefs with respect to how they might affect their journey to achieving their goals.  I prefer to assist the client in becoming congruent with their own beliefs, or help them decide what or how they choose to believe.  I conduct all meeting with an overarching commitment to a positive and motivational approach in a non-judgmental atmosphere.  Note:  Please understand that confrontational methods of motivation are considered pejorative and are not used by this service. 

Persons seeking to make dynamic changes in their lives seem to have the following options currently available to them:  (1) buy the desired information in readable or audio format and try to figure things out on their own.  (2) Hire the services of a professional or famous person who will guide them through the process, or (3) use both methods simultaneously.  Moreover, most of these services are a specific program or use a specific “formula.”  Rick’s service is aware that one size does not fit all.  Let me show you how to personalize your goal setting!

Sometimes the difficulty with option number 1 listed above, is that even though a person has the written information in front of them, it is still nice to have a person who can help them integrate the information or ideas into their own personal, unique way of being.  We all have “blind spots” and it is extremely helpful for a perceptive and experienced person to help the individual become aware of any possible blind spots in a motivating and non-judgmental way in order to integrate the new information optimally on the journey to achieving their goal(s).  This encourager can also assist in collaborating with the person to clarify issues or provide positive and motivational support.  A possible difficulty with option number 2 is that most of the people currently offering their services in this venue charge shocking fees! 

I have a solution to this dilemma!  I have made a firm commitment to offer my specialized training, education, and life experiences to all persons, in the form of Affordable Personal Encouragement Services.  I am determined to keep the structure of my fees so that most people will be able to afford them – not just the financially well-to-do. 

Affordable Personal Encouragement Services is currently providing a FREE offer.  Simply E-mail me and let me know that you are interested in these services and I will schedule you for a FREE 30 minute initial consult to explore your goals as well as to see if we would be a “good fit” in a goal setting relationship.  Also, remember, you don’t have to pay for the telephone call it’s toll free.  Please be aware that the possibility exists that we may not be a good fit together.  If this is the case, it will probably be apparent to both of us and the prospective customer is encouraged to explore other goal setting services and not just give up on the idea of receiving help in these areas.

It may also be helpful to know that during an extended conversation such as the FREE 30 minute initial consult, as well as goal setting meetings, that there will inevitably be silences during the conversation.  This is not only expected, it is an important part of the process.  Hopefully the two of us will be intensely engaged and will require some “thinking or processing time” during the call. 

Fees:  If you check other sites offering the same services, you will find the average fee to be $150.00 - $200.00 for 60 minutes, or $450.00 a month, and up.  In many cases, you will be asked to make a “commitment” to a predetermined number of meetings or months.

This is not the case with Affordable Personal Encouragement Services.  You see, years ago, I made a personal decision to provide my services at the proper time, for fees that most people can afford.  If you can afford to go out for dinner and a movie once a week or every other week, you can afford my fees.  What’s more, you don’t even have to pay for the telephone call like you might if you used another service similar to mine; I have a toll free number.   Fees are subject to change at any time without prior notice:

30-minute meeting for $30.00

60-minute meeting for $50.00 (note savings)

Multiple meeting package offers are available at even greater savings.

There are opportunities to qualify for free meetings.  Just let me know you might be interested and I’ll tell you how.

While it makes sense for the customer to work closely on an on-going basis with the support person helping them achieve their goals, Affordable Personal Encouragement Services requires no minimum or maximum number of meetings or time commitments or constraints.  The customer does the choosing in this regard.

However, having said this, a person cannot expect to have one quick meeting and then achieve any goal they desire as a direct result of that one meeting.  It is important to understand that the preferred and most efficacious use of these services is to use a few meetings to carefully and thoughtfully clarify and establish a desired goal.  Then use a few meetings to develop a comprehensive plan in collaboration with me to achieve these goals. 

The customer may then wish to take a break from the encouragement meetings to implement and practice their plan.  After a time of their choosing, they may wish to re-establish contact and receive additional support and encouragement.  This process may continue in this fashion until the goal is achieved.

On the other hand, a customer may wish to maintain contact with the encouragement and support in a constant manner until the goal is achieved.  This is perfectly acceptable and in fact, encouraged.  However, it may not be the most cost-effective way.
