By Dr. Scott Zarcinas, Founder, 818: Unlocking Your Life

Here’s a question we rarely ask—but maybe we should:

What is the actual dollar amount you’d be willing to pay to become the best version of yourself?

Not to rent a lifestyle. Not to impress others. Not to escape your reality for a week.

But to change it entirely. To become someone who is clear, grounded, energised, and fulfilled.

Someone who wakes up in alignment—not anxiety. Someone who leads their life instead of reacting to it.

So… how much?

Would you pay $1,000?
$5,000?
$25,000?

Let’s explore.

Because It’s Hard to Put a Price on Becoming

It’s easier to pay for something tangible: a thing you can see or hold.

It’s harder to justify investing in something internal—something becoming.

But think about it. If you could pay a one-time fee to:

• Stop living on autopilot.

• Reclaim 10+ hours a week of your energy and attention.

• Strengthen your relationships because you’re actually present.

• Let go of old habits that keep sabotaging you.

• Step into a new season of clarity and purpose.

What would that be worth to you?

$1,000?
$10,000?
More?

Would it be worth more than:

• Your next holiday?

• The latest iPhone?

• A new wardrobe or car upgrade?

Because here’s the truth:

You’ll come back from the holiday. The new phone will need replacing. The wardrobe will go out of fashion.

But the person you become? That upgrade stays with you for life.

What My Clients Say After Their Reset

When I work with professionals, I use a simple, high-impact framework that helps them reset their mindset, get clear, and build lives they don’t want to escape from.

And I’ve had clients say things like:

“This gave me back years of my life.”

“I’ve gone from stuck to unstoppable.”

“I was stuck for nearly a decade, and within a month I was moving again.”

Not a single one of them said, “Wow, I wish I’d saved that money.”

But many have told me, “I wish I’d done this sooner.”

The Hidden Cost of Staying the Same

Most people don’t think about this side of the equation.

They only ask, “How much does transformation cost?”

But they never ask, “What’s the cost of staying stuck?”

Because here’s what not investing in yourself can cost you:

• Years of unfulfilling work.

• Strained relationships.

• Lost confidence.

• Missed opportunities.

• Low energy, low impact.

And perhaps worst of all:

That nagging sense that you’re meant for more… but you’re not doing anything about it.

That’s not just uncomfortable. That’s expensive—in a way money can’t always measure.

What Is It Really Worth?

Here’s a better way to think about it:

Imagine you could meet the future version of yourself 5 years from now.

✅ They’re grounded. Confident. Energised.
✅ They’ve let go of the old pressure.
✅ They’re living on purpose.

They thank you. Why?

Because you made the decision to stop drifting, and start designing your life with intention.

Now ask yourself:

What would you have paid to become that version of you?

Because that’s what this work really is. It’s not about solving a temporary problem:
It’s about creating a permanent shift in who you are, how you live, and what you bring to the world.

When You’re Ready, the Cost Becomes Clear

When you’re not ready, even $100 feels like too much.

When you’re ready, $10,000 feels like a steal, because you finally understand the value of the change you’re stepping into.

I’m not saying everyone should drop thousands today.

But I am saying this:

If you’re willing to spend thousands on a wedding, a new car, a kitchen renovation, or a Disney trip, then the idea that personal transformation is “too expensive” might just be a story.

What would it mean to spend the same amount—or less—on creating a life you don’t want to escape from?

Ready to Move Forward?

Transformation isn’t a product. It’s a process. It’s a decision.

And it starts when you stop asking, “Can I afford this?”
And start asking, “Can I afford not to?”

If you’re ready to stop pushing and start progressing, to reclaim your clarity, energy, and direction, I can help.
