How does it Work?
Prepare & Schedule
Schedule a Time and Prepare Your Questions/Files
Schedule
Use the section above to pick the date and duration that you'd like for the consultation. CG Forge uses a calendar service called "Simply Book" which makes it easy to manage everything. This system handles e-mail reminders, invoicing, payment processing, and more. You don't need to be a CG Forge subscriber to book a session.
45/90 or Apply for a Mentorship
To learn more about what each option offers, click on the "read more" text. 45/90 minute consultations are great for more casual help and questions. The 6 week mentorship takes things to the next level by offering a guided experience, and you'll need to apply in order to be accepted. The option above schedules a free 25 minute consultation to meet with Tyler and discuss whether or not this option is right for you.
Prepare your Questions & Files
To make the most of the service, you'll want to take a little time and prepare some questions and/or files to review ahead of time. The checkout window allows you to write a message, and if you'd like Tyler to review a .hip file during a 45 or 90 minute session, then send it directly to tyler@cgforge.com
Join the Meeting
What to Expect
Join the Live Video Link
Once you purchase a time slot, you will be sent an e-mail with a Google Meetings link along with a calendar event. You should receive a reminder via e-mail shortly before the event begins. Be sure to test your video and audio ahead of the event!
Being Late and/or Not Showing Up
Keep in mind that you will not receive any refunds once you pay for a time slot. If you are late and/or do not show up, then you will lose that money. I do not offer refunds because my calendar is full with other consultations and projects that need to be attended to.
Rescheduling
If you know that you cannot make the meeting ahead of time, then you have the option to reschedule the consultation. If you decide to reschedule, then you need to do so at least 8 hours in advance of your appointment.
Make Gains!
A High Quality Experience
Professional Research to your Problems
For 90 minute consultations, I dedicate a portion of my time towards researching your questions ahead of the session. Part of what you're paying for with this service is the time I put into researching great answers to your questions ahead of the consultations.
Follow-up Notes are Included
Don't worry about taking notes during the consultation. Part of what you'll receive with each session is an e-mail containing the main ideas of what we talked about, bullet points for next steps, and a summary of how to move forward in achieving your goals.
Expedite Your Goals
At the end of the day, it's all about helping you achieve your goals faster than you would have otherwise. With CG Forge Academy, it's all about you - and that's what makes all the difference.
