This question came up on a coaches forum I like to contribute to, and I know this’ll apply to a lot of my readers…

“How do I cope with no-show clients? A new client hasn’t shown up for two of the four sessions we contracted. Each time she follows up with really apologetic emails, begging me not to give up on her…,” the life coach asked.

Scary Gremlin Monster

It’s vacation season. Why not take a holiday from your “gremlin”?

You know that nasty inner critic that tells you that you’re not good enough? That gives you reasons you can’t have the success you want? That encourages you to procrastinate? That dismisses your accomplishments? Witholds abundance and prosperity?

That’s your gremlin. Welcome to Gremlin Day Care Services. Send your gremlins to us.

At Gremlin Day Care Services:

* Your gremlin will be housed in a supportive, like-minded community of fellow nay-sayers.

* Your gremlin will get to play favorite games like “Second Guessing” and “Burst the Bubble” without bothering you.

* When game time is over, gremlins will eat graham crackers and watch Dr. Phil.

Your gremlin has been working very hard, trying to keep you from moving forward. Give your gremlin a break, a little “me” time for your unhappy companion.

Of course if you want your gremlin back, all you have to do is shoot us an email with a physical description of your gremlin and his favorite key phrases. We have a lot of gremlins here, so please allow a little time for us to locate the one that belongs to you.

Service begins immediately.
