New to the business and coaching world, I acquired a tremendous amount of knowledge and insight from Carolin and learned much about myself and my business. BYP was certainly worth the investment from the technical aspect, but it needed tweaking in the area of meaningful support & coaching. As I learned the on-line aspect, I struggled with the pace and time frame in which the information was presented and needed to be completed. I seriously worked 10 hours days for 4+ months! BYP needed to be a 6-8 month program in order to 'really' learn the content and enjoy the journey. I discovered I prefer 1:1 coaching for the effectiveness and personal connection and not Carolin's group coaching. Overall, I wish I had been able to connect with Carolin more and enjoy the journey better.

Completely excited and …
Completely excited and very much looking forward to massive success I joined the team. Suddenly, my dad is rushed to the small town hospital and transferred to Baptist. Less than four weeks later he died. I literally lost the month of September 2017. When having an online coaching session it was set for a time while I was at work. It was not conducive to my work environment to have a video on while I was to be at work so I tried the phone call. It worked and then I explained the death of my father. I was gifted with extra time by Carolin's team; however, I was overcome with emotion, schedule catch up, funeral arrangements, executrix responsibilities, etc. and was unable to focus on my own business. Needless to say I gave away the $8,000. which is money I truly wish I had in my account right now. I believe this program is great but the timing did not line up.

If you are brand new to coaching you…
If you are brand new to coaching you will learn much from this but if you have experience already then save your money.

It didn't work for me
While the information and teaching were helpful, the overall strategy did not work. I did everything by the book, and got absolutely NO business after spending thousands of dollars on the course and on advertising. I met with the coaches and consulted with them as much as I could, but the strategy failed to work. And at the end, the comments from the coaches were that if it did not work it was because I was doing it wrong, which I felt was not fair. It's cookie cutter coaching and I've moved on to an individual business coach who works with me one on one, costing less than the 8,000 I spent on BYP. His approach has already gotten results because it's very much focused on ME, not on the strategy he has already established.

The group program was good.
I enjoyed the course and the friends I made. I really thought I would be getting more help from Carolyn herself. She was away quite a bit while I was in the training. It would have been nice to have had more or longer one on one coaching sessions as well. I felt the attention the successful students was more predominant than the ones who were struggling and really needed the help.

I loved my time spent with the Soldo team, but there were some hiccups…
I loved my time spent with the Soldo team, although I felt like on my sales call I was promised more in-depth private time with team members then what I ended up getting. If it wouldn't have been for that, I feel like my experience would have been better.
The time line was quite short considering some modules required so much more time than others. This made the end of the course feel overwhelming. On my last one-on-one call (graduation call), I was also told that I would be able to continue the course on a month to month basis for around 100$ USD/month and was then sent an email later on saying that it was actually much more then that, which was, again, disappointing to be promised something that wasn't really true. I was also told that I would be added to a "BYP Graduates Facebook Group" which never happened. The unfulfilled promises made me feel not really valued as a client as well as if I was being manipulated.. It definitely left a sour taste in my mouth.
In addition, to me, the member site felt a little cluttered with all of the different patterns and could be a little cleaner for a better client experience (ex: white background, with statement banner at the top and menu banner on the left with a subtle print like a warn creamy white marble with gold veining at 50 or 60% opacity), the PDFs could also use that newer PDF design/look that Team soldo has been using on the newer opt-ins I've seen on YouTube considering they still say that they are copyrighted 2015. It might not bother others, but it made me feel as if the site design and PDFs were dated, and maybe the information wasn't still be relevant considering 3 years in tech is quite a long time. I think for some cases, like for the technology docs, this is true, but other documents, like the first few modules, would only need a face lift. To conclude this point, I've bought other programs where they have updated their documents/memersite every year and really felt like I was receiving the most up-to-date information.
However!!! That being said, I think the content of this course and the way the course has been curated with the 2 live Q&A a week and the experts that are a part of this team is FABULOUS!!! <3 I love Team Soldo so so so much, as well as the community! I think the expertise brought to the table with this group of people is amazing and I have recommended this course and Carolin's YouTube Channel to MANY of my friends and fellow coaches! <333 Will be subscribing for many years to come!
