Hey guys,

I've been thinking about getting some coaching by the Natural Lifestyle when I'm in Melbourne in Jan. I've emailed them regarding their mini-residential, which is a 4 day program and it costs about $6200AUD including 4 nights of accommodation. I tried to get some one-on-one coaching, but Liam only do one-on-one with students who have done a full workshop and James don't even coach in Australia. Only Tony Solo can do one-on-one at about $200AUD. I don't really know much about him, so I'm a bit on the fence whether I should just get a couple of hours with him. I was also only planning on spending about $500 for coaching and didn't expect the mini-residential to be that expensive.

I have kinda weighted the pros and cons of each option
The mini-residential
Pros
- Get the full experience from start to finish.
- I'll be able to learn a lot more than just a couple of hours with Tony.
- have someone to guide me all the way and point out any mistakes I'm making.

Cons
- Cost - I'll have to borrow money from my dad, and I'm not sure if he'll understand

One-on-one coaching with Tony for two hours
Pros
- he may be able to point out my mistakes
- a little cheaper, although not much cheaper.
Cons
- I'm not sure if his style of seduction suits me.
- I might not learn much from just a couple of hours.

Let me know what you guys think and if you've done any kind of bootcamp/residential/coaching, do you think it was worth the money?

Another thing is if I do decided to do the mini-residential, I'll have to borrow money from my dad, and I don't know how to tell him. I guess I could tell him I'm doing a self-improvement course and it's very important to me. He just found out I'm into self-improvement a couple of weeks ago and he was happy for me and actually wanted me to teach my brother some of the stuff. Let me know your thoughts!

Cheers
Smith

Smith,

To my knowledge, Tony Solo was one of the fastest learning students of the Natural Lifestyle. He's got a playful, and direct approach that is very similar to mine from what I've seen of his YouTube videos.

I sincerely doubt that you'd be wasting your money getting one-on-one coaching from him if you take a fun and direct approach to pick-up. On top of that Tony does the 4-day workshops with Liam so that should give you some idea of his ability to coach if Liam and James bring him on with their projects.

That being said, I think you have enough the basics of pick-up down pat that you don't need the 4-day experience. If you look at what they offer in the 4-day workshop you'll see that you already know much of what they teach. At this point I think a one-on-one session with a recognized coach would serve you much better.

Anyway, that's my analysis and I've never done a workshop with these guys by the way. I'm always looking to find guys with a style similar to mine so I can pick up new things and because of that I came across Liam and Tony on YouTube. If I was in your shoes I'd take the one on one time with Tony.

Let us know how this pans out for ya!

Thanks for the advice Richard! You're right I probably will benefit more from the 1 on 1 coaching than the 4 day residential, which is also out of my budget right now. So
I've decided to do a 3 hour coaching with Tony when I'm in Melbourne. Hopefully it should be enough! Will keep u guys posted.

Guess I'm a bit late here, but from the coaching I did with TNL, they're all incredible people and instructors. I wholeheartedly recommend their coaching.

Also, Smith, if you'll be in Melbs, shoot me a PM. I'm sure you know, but ray_zorse is here as well :)

Love the dudes at TNL. I actually would drop the dough to do a residential just for the experience if I had that kind of $$$.

That being said, sometimes just hanging out with a dude who's got a solid process and watching him pick up girls can really make things click for you. Keep an eye out for friends that know what they are doing.
