| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's up and welcome back. I'm Jason Gaddis, your host of the Relationship Coaching School |
| 0:07.0 | podcast, where we're trying to help you get results with your clients. So I'll be interviewing |
| 0:13.9 | world class coaches, high performance coaches and therapists. They're going to teach us how to get better results. |
| 0:22.6 | And of course, you'll hear for me occasionally, like in this episode, that is a solo episode, |
| 0:27.5 | where we're going to dive into signs, it's time to fire your coach or therapist. |
| 0:33.6 | And the punchline here is when you're not getting results. |
| 0:37.8 | And of course, that could be user error, which we talked about in episode 525 on how to be a great client. |

So if we're working with clients like that, it's very difficult to get a result, right? |

| 1:53.9 | Well, how are they going to get stronger if they don't do the push-up? |
| 1:57.0 | They're not. |
| 1:58.5 | And sometimes we need to fire our clients. |
| 2:00.7 | We need to say, hey, you know what, |
| 2:02.2 | I'm probably not the best fit for you, given that kind of what you're wanting and what I'm |
