Sherman Hu

If you battled this enemy, would you be victorious?

Sierra Friend is a powerhouse businesswoman who has stared down the eyes of a major health crisis to come back with vigor and passion for maximizing the potential of her offline business clients for online success.

She’s an incredible human being with such energy and passion for life, family and business growth. And she’s one of my clients. Let me share a victory we both experienced together…

PERFECTIONISM

As awesome as Sierra is, she has her faults, and she recognizes them.

One of them? Perfectionism.

Yes, that blood-sucking, energy-draining dis-ease that binds you with immobility because everything has to be “just right”. We had to shatter the control that PERFECTIONISM had on her psyche and actions. And boy, did we do just that!

THE BATTLE

During the last 15 minutes of our 3rd session, I setup Sierra up to “BATTLE with her ENEMY”.

During those 15 minutes, which felt like forever, I didn’t let her succumb to her old habits. I was in the proverbial ring with her, helping her FIGHT and crumble this ENEMY.

She was SHAKING with nervousness and kept on exclaiming…

“OMG! OMG! I can’t believe I’m doing this RIGHT NOW! OMG!”

You had to be there! Come to think of it, I have the recording!

THE VICTORY

Alas, she was sweaty and bloody after this intense battle and she arose VICTORIOUS!! BOOYAH!!

I am sooo PROUD of SIERRA FRIEND! She’s a CHAMPION!

THE CHAMP SPEAKS OUT

Here’s what she shared about working with me in my “Accelerated Coaching Enhancement Blueprint Intensive” (ACEBI: http://tutorialu.com/semesters/acebi)

“Being able to work with Sherman was a true answer to prayer.

I have been in the middle of transitioning my business from one industry to another and frankly, had gotten so lost in the details I wasn’t making progress.

I was working tirelessly trying to find the right information I needed to move forward, and to know what steps would make the greatest impact in the shortest time…until I started coaching with Sherman.

Since then, I have been able to create a deep understanding of my target audience and establish a plan for using new media to position myself as an expert in my field.

Having Sherman’s knowledge, coaching, accountability and support has allowed me to fast-track my success and to learn in a matter of weeks, what would have taken me a year to find on my own.

His knowledge is priceless, his genuine desire to help you succeed is inspiring, and his ability to create results in your business is unparalleled.

No information product or workshop I have invested in has generated the kind of results I have found by working one-on-one with Sherman.

In a world where information is abundant yet results minimal, having personal instruction by a leader in New Media & Internet Marketing is one of the greatest investments you’ll make in your business. He is a wonderful Coach, and has become a great friend.”
