Bonus
We know it's one thing to say you are committed and another to make that commitment real. We also know that people tend to connect intrinsic value and a price tag - so at Emotus Operandi we've developed the "design your own bonus" program.
At the end of the Jump Start Session, after you've made a concrete plan for your success, we ask you to think about what kind of reward you deserve for actually following through on your plan. Then we ask you to "put your money where your mouth is" by writing a check which we hold in trust against your follow through. There is no fixed amount for the bonus, but we want it to feel "real" to you and encourage you to think about a tangible reward - like a day at the spa or a night out on the town, etc.
At the end of the three m onths, if you do what you set out to do, you 'earn back' your bonus. (It's a little more complicated than that, because we understand that plans change and it's rarely possible to achieve 100% of a plan, etc, so there is some wiggle room... but that's the basic idea.)
It's a different sort of system, we know, but we think it is the best way to help you focus on making progress while simultaneously "keeping it real."
