It depends on the level of package you purchase. We find some people purchase a package with no support because they are looking for “contents” only to bridge the gap from another program they completed. While others want to enjoy the weekly live, virtual support and implementation calls to ensure a comprehensive formula for success.
With the “Go at your own pace” learning principle, we are able to provide the opportunity to learn for those who cannot focus their time fully on taking classes. For example, a mother who needs to work a day job to sustain her family will have the opportunity to learn while still providing for her family. However, don’t be fooled by idea that there is no value in this flexiblity. For those that need more accountability we offer weekly live virtual support and accountability group sessions. These are recorded again for flexibilty of life.
