“But what do I get for my coaching investment?”

by Tara Sage | Apr 7, 2023 | Brules of Life, Coaching, Dream Acceleration, Tara Sage Coaching

“I really want to work with a coach. But what do I GET for my investment, you know?”

A woman at one of my book signing events asked me this, expressing interest in coaching and skepticism in coaching – all in one breath.

She told me about almost hiring a coach earlier this year, but ultimately deciding not to because the coach couldn’t “convince” her [read: provide her certainty about] what she would GET for the price of coaching.

A valid question. I certainly understand the intangibility of it, and how investing in coaching can feel like a chicken-and-egg question.

I mean, when you pay for, say, a new phone, you get …a new phone.

When you pay for a trip to Spain you get a trip to Spain.

But when you pay for COACHING, what do you GET??

Let’s unpack this a bit.

Imagine you and I are having this conversation, and you ask: “When I pay for coaching, what do I GET? What’s the promised outcome? Not how much time and personal attention do I get from you, Tara … but what is the result I RECEIVE? After paying money for this service, what will I have to show for it? What’s my ROI gonna be?”

My first question to you is:

“What do you WANT it to be?” “What results do you WANT?” “How will you measure your own success?” “How will you know when you have succeeded at creating your dream life?” “What specifically will that look like and feel like to YOU?” “When you imagine your no-vacation-needed, deeply satisfying, regrets-free life, what do you see? Paint me THAT picture so that I can see it with you.”

👆 These are all versions of the same critical question.

Step 1 of my signature Dream Acceleration Process is: DEFINE WHAT YOU WANT.

(For many people, this step is the most challenging of them all.)

Once you’re able to define what you WANT, it is a lot easier to:

(1) Go after it.
(2) Invest in it.
(3) Ensure that you get it!

Your dream is my dream. And when we roll up our sleeves together about it … buckle up!

Three truth-bombs for your dreams 🔥

by Tara Sage | Mar 2, 2023 | Coaching, Dream Acceleration, Tara Sage Coaching

Want to live your dreams? Here are three truth-bombs that will help:

(1) If you want your life to expand into living your dreams, if you want to create and achieve new results … you have to grow yourself.

(2) In order to realize your unique-to-you no-vacation-needed life, you must stop playing smaller than you are.

(3) In order to make your no-vacation-needed life REAL, you must step up and show up as the powerful creator that you are.

It’s not about being perfect, or unafraid, or knowing all the answers.

It IS about bringing curiosity, vision, bravery, conviction, determination, and resourcefulness to every action and decision going forward.

This is hard to do alone because fear and doubt (all normal) will try to take you out by overriding your deepest longings and callings, and defaulting to self-limiting beliefs that try to convince you that your current circumstances are a gauge for what’s possible.

The fear, the doubt, the belief in limitation: they’ll all feel SO REAL.

Perception is a strong thing.

The right support quickly gets your brain back to focusing on ‘how is this possible’.

The kind of support that CRACKS the perceptions of doubt that make every fear and ‘this just won’t work for me’ thought feel so real and true … is the exact kind of support that’s needed to help you quickly and easily shift focus and build new habits around ‘of course it’s happening for me’ beliefs, and ‘I’m stronger than my fears’ feelings, and ‘the actions I take now empower who I’m becoming’ self-perceptions.

^ This is the quickest path. It opens doors you didn’t know were there. Rather than spending your precious energy on worry, doubt, wondering what to do, and trying to figure it all out by yourself, having the right support makes ALL the difference!

As one client of mine put it, “Private coaching is having ONE person in the whole world that not only completely “gets” you, but also fully supports the best possible version of YOU.”

And another who said: “I’ve always had an “I can do it myself” attitude but I followed my heart and took that first step to reach out and connect with Tara. The moment Tara asked me to imagine my dream day, my life began to head in a new direction. I knew I had made the right decision … which has turned out to be the first of many “right” decisions.”

Similar to how a personal trainer, or tutor, customizes based on what will serve you best, meeting you exactly where you ARE and helping you get where you want to go … I am here to provide you with customized support to create the life you want.

You’ve probably seen me offering free 1:1 assessment calls lately. They tend to book out pretty quickly because they’re so powerful. This is the last time I’m going to offer these in this space for a little while. If you’ve been thinking about it, now’s the time to do it.

Celebrating YOU,

This takes your dreams from sepia to color

by Tara Sage | Jan 18, 2023 | Coaching, Dream Acceleration, Tara Sage Coaching

Ready to bring your dreams to life?

Something I’ve long taught my coaching clients is that you can’t create what you can’t imagine.

I recently learned some fascinating brain science research that seems to suggest too that you can’t imagine what you can’t REMEMBER. << My overly simplistic version but keep reading to see that it’s not all that far-fetched, and why it matters!

Let me explain.

First, memory recall, across the board, is very inaccurate and therefore very unreliable. This is true across all ages. The evidence is abundant that your memory, and mine, is weak at best. From witness identification errors, to recalling personal circumstances of past experiences. It’s been widely documented that most memories are totally erroneous despite the fact that people believe they are remembering accurately.

Bottom line: When it comes to memory recall, inaccuracies are consistent.

This begs the question: If memory is so unreliable and inaccurate, what then is the evolutionary purpose of memory?

Scientists have wondered, if it’s not for the value of accurate recall, what is memory FOR?

Another important discovery: Those with memory disorders (whether due to a traumatic brain injury, or Alzheimer’s, or brain surgery where part of the brain was removed or impacted in a way that caused significant memory loss) … these folks don’t only have trouble recalling the past, they ALSO have tremendous difficulty imagining the future!

This fascinating fact has led scientists to a new theory about the evolutionary purpose of memory: That memory’s evolutionary life-sustaining purpose is less about accurate recall and more about how the function of memories enables and supports the ability to imagine the future.

Ok. Here’s where all these dots connect in my mind:

As someone whose entire educational foundation, extensive experience, and decades-long career has been centered around psychology, human behavior, and systems change … this brain science theory makes a whole lot of sense to me!

Here’s one way to think about it:

Imagining the future is a bit like painting a picture.

“Paint me the picture of what you would like your life to be. Help me see it with you.” << This is something I often ask my clients to do, so that I can see, imagine, delight in, and ultimately help them move forward to CREATE their desired future.

But – what if you were asked to paint a picture and you only had blue and black to paint it with?

How vivid a painting could you paint with just that limited palate?

Not very, amiright?

So … circling back to my opening statement that you can’t create what you can’t imagine, let’s break it down:

You can’t create what you can’t “see”.

And you can’t see what you can’t imagine.

And, perhaps too, you can’t imagine what you can’t remember…in the sense that memory serves as the palate you draw from, and therefore can create from.

The science suggests that memories support imagining!

And you know what imagining supports? Innovation.

Your memory therefore supports – or limits – your ability to design your future, to innovate about what’s possible.

Isn’t that fascinating?

THIS is why when a client comes to me feeling uncertain about what they want in their life and the picture of their desired future feels blurry and vague, a great place we often start is: remembering.

Drawing from your PAST, from your life experience, you have decades of recall opportunities about what you want to create, design, and experience going forward.

As you imagine, and reimagine, your future, a great place to start is to recall what has been fun, luscious, joyful, dynamic, nourishing, life-enhancing, and pleasure-filled from your past — be it 5 minutes ago, or when you were 5.

The science suggests that the more you are able to pull from what’s stored in your memory, the more colorful, luscious, and dynamic your future can be!

3 Simple Powerful Action Steps to Make Your Dreams Come True

by TSCadmin | Apr 16, 2020 | Dream Acceleration, Dream Accelerator, Manifestation

Hi there!

Let’s talk a minute about one of my favorite topics: how to make your dreams come true.

In each and every moment, we create and re-create our life with the choices we make – whether intentional or not. Embrace this fact with full awareness, and you’ll come to understand that only YOU can decide to take the reins on your life. Your present does NOT decide your future … unless, of course, you keep thinking and doing what you’ve always done.

Real talk: You are either creating your life by intentional design, or you are living life by default, passive chance — in other words, winging it. Your precious life!

Here’s the doozy: Both take the same amount of time, and both use the same amount of energy. But only ONE will be an ongoing source of fuel for your soul.

Only one will have you spilling over with gratitude, joy, faith, and wonder.

Only one will align you with your best life and your best self.

Only one will inspire others, by your example, to follow their own dreams and passions.

And only one will leave you wondering why you ever hesitated or why you didn’t begin sooner!

With this in mind, the choice is clear. But oh, it can get so murky so quickly…

Here I’m going to give you three really simple steps. So simple, you’re going to wonder why you didn’t do this before!

And trust me when I say they are very very powerful towards making your dream(s) come true.

So, grab a piece of paper, sit down and do this:

3 Steps to Make Your Dreams Real

STEP #1: Want what you want, without apology

Write it down on a piece of paper or get out a journal and let you heart speak. Ask yourself: “If I could script my life to be unreasonably phenomenal, how would it go?” Write it out and don’t let ‘how’ limit your dreams and visions. The dreaming process begins with simply owning the truth of your desires. “How” comes later.

To live the life of your dreams, you must first stop minimizing, apologizing, or hiding what you want. You must stop buying your own excuses about why you can’t have it or why you believe it is impossible for you. Simply let your imagination be your guide.

If you find it difficult to get clear about what you dream of, you are definitely not alone. Often the hardest part of creating your dream life is (step 1) defining what you want! The noise of the world, the expectations of others, and all the messaging telling you what you “should” want, understandably make it VERY difficult to hear the voice of your soul speak the truth of its desires!

If this resonates for you, but you’re ready to seize the day and powerfully connect to the truth and passion of your deepest dreams and goals, click here to learn about my special Masterclass where I guide you through exactly how.

Finding your way to this level of clarity is an absolute game-changer. It sets you up for life mastery on every level, with freedom, fun, and fulfillment in all areas of your life. Tell me more, Tara!

STEP #2: Feel into it

If you’re clear on Step #1, the next is to feel into the depth and truth of your desires. What would it FEEL like to live your dream life? Setting fear and doubt aside for now, savor the sense of joy and excitement you feel as you imagine a life of your dreams. Enjoy just thinking about it, paying special attention to what you see, hear, and feel. For help connecting to the felt-sense of it all, listen to this unconventional 5-minute meditation I created for you.

STEP #3: Rate your desire

Rate the strength of your desire on a scale of 1-10. Write it down. If you’ve rated the strength of your desire less than 7 out of 10 for wanting this in your life, repeat steps 1 & 2. If you’ve rated the strength of your desire 7 or more out of 10 for wanting this in your life … let’s make it happen.

If you’re ready to be shown exactly how to create more joy, ease, freedom and flow in your life, click here to select an appointment time for a FREE 1:1 call with me so we can talk one-to-one, explore the possibilities together, and determine your best personalized strategy forward.

Go here to schedule your complimentary session now!

I’ll close with this quote by Napoleon Hill: “Don’t wait. The time will never be just right.”

Will you make TODAY your someday?

Time will pass either way. If you’ve read this far, there’s a reason.

I believe in you. I also believe that a desire would not be felt if the Universe couldn’t provide it.

I know it’s scary, but you can be bigger than your fear. Like many have done before you, you too can do what may feel impossible right now.

In truth, all you need to do NOW is be willing to cross the threshold and take the next step. I am here to stand with you and support you on the precipice of new possibilities. I will guide you, one step at a time, through a proven process to make those dreams REAL.

Big love,

Breaking the Mold on Coaching

by Tara Sage | Feb 4, 2020 | Create Your Life!, Dream Acceleration, Home, Manifestation, Nomadic Living

“High-level coaching does not have to be cost prohibitive to be life changing.”

I do things differently than most coaches in the industry.

Through my company, Tara Sage Inc., I offer several comprehensive signature coaching programs:

The Dream Acceleration™ Program

The Speak Up™ Program

Nomadic Living 101

… to name a few.

I provide in-depth seminars and trainings, both online and in person events.

If you haven’t already, my FREE Dream Acceleration Strategies video training is a good one to grab, for sure.

And I offer Private Coaching.

Most of my clients come from other clients.

Client referrals are and (since in 2004) have been, the primary source – like, 80% – of how I attract new clients into my business. Most people find me and my programs because someone they know recommended they connect with me.

Referrals really are the best testimonial.

Here’s an example of an email introduction made from a past client recommending that the woman she knows connect with me.

She wrote:

“I told you about the difference that Tara Sage has made for my business. She truly is a dream acceleration coach, listens deeply for what wants to come to light for her clients, is a brilliant life hack expert and knows how to create organic workflows, compelling messages and teaches how to enroll clients gracefully and effectively.
With her help I was able to double my income and generate my best revenue year ever – and I didn’t kill myself in the process and had fun with it. Her first 30-minutes are at no charge and you will have an opportunity to unlock something of value even in that initial engagement.”

Private coaching obviously provides the most customized and personal level support, but something I’ve consistently heard from folks who are in my signature coaching programs (The Dream Acceleration Program in particular), is how unique it is to find such affordable content-rich coaching programs that INCLUDE built-in personal customized private support.

The industry standard is that you usually get one OR the other – not both.

But anyone who knows me knows, I’m a BOTH/AND kind of person.

I re-write the rules.

I manifest new horizons.

I color outside the lines.

I don’t accept that things have to keep being done the way they’ve historically been done.

I always see new avenues and opportunities to create results.

I love finding new ways to break old molds.

I set and create my own standards about what’s possible.

I’m told that this is rather contagious. 😉

My clients quickly start seeing new opportunities where they thought there weren’t any.

They start having courageous breakthroughs in behavior patterns.

Narrow limited views suddenly open up to become broad, vast and expansive.

Possibilities they never considered before, or that seemed impossible, rapidly start coming into focus.

I love finding new ways to do things better.

And I’m fierce about my clients’ success.

As a rule, I don’t hold back on what I know will make the biggest difference for them.

Private 1:1 Coaching + Comprehensive anytime-access to invaluable at-your-fingertips content = The magic mix.

It’s the java juice, the secret sauce, the dynamic duo.

This supercharged combination is the potent pairing that gets results.

I say this from my years of experience, integral Masters level education, and many many many hours of coaching individuals, people spanning four continents.

Customized support + timeless universal wisdom = the winning combination.

This is what makes all the difference for you, your goals, your dreams, and your success.

Working in this way, I am able to provide high-level coaching without it being cost prohibitive.

High level coaching does NOT have to be cost prohibitive to be life changing!

This Is For You IF:

==> You are motivated and ready to build a life and/or business that delights you …. a life that you can’t wait to get-up-and-out-of-bed-for in the morning … a life that you won’t need a vacation from.

==> You are tired of the status quo and part of you is crying out, longing to be lived, eager for a new level of experience, because you know there has GOT to be a better way.

==> You are ready to align your thoughts, words, and actions with the life you so deeply desire.

==> You want content-rich support from a coach who “gets it”, who explains things clearly, and who provides exactly what you need when you need it to achieve your goals and dreams (and keep on achieving new ones).

==> You have a “can do” attitude, you’ve had it with excuses and feeling stuck.

==> You understand the value of support, and you want to be shown exactly how to create more joy, ease, grace, and abundance – quickly and sustainably.

==> You are ready to amp up your courage, ready to be brave and supported throughout the entire process, to step up and into creating the life that you KNOW (in your heart of hearts) that somehow, someway, you are capable of.
