We've just announced the winner of our $100,000 contest...and man, was it TOUGH.
More than 600 of you chimed in on these three questions:
But when it all came down to it, one post shined brightest among all the others.
So without further adieu, the winner of $100,000 worth of my coaching and products is...
Sarah's post hit the nail on the head. She truly understands how much the concept of overcoming constraints is affecting her business, and how miraculous it will be when it is removed forever.
Below is Sarah's winning post:

I work with financial advisors to help them market their practice, especially over the internet.
I work with a premier wealth preservation attorney with a list of approximately 100,000 financial advisors.
1. My single greatest constraint right now is refining processes and automating them. I'm working on that right now.
We sell a templated website with high quality content and interactive features for these financial advisors. It is completely customizable.
Then many of them opt for marketing coaching and SEO services. This is high dollar residual income, from services that provide high value clients for them.
Because their industries are so regulated in certain aspects, there are nuances to each client and site installation. Plus those who have a particular USP need that to be reflected throughout their site.
So much of the process can be automated, freeing up time for the essential one on one for the high level coaching.
2. I am two constraints away from having the business of my dreams. The first one is automating processes for the site installations and the SEO. (Again, both are part way done.)
The second one is "automated" process for content creation for my marketing membership that many of these guys are joining. I'm working toward this as well, but it is not finished.
Quite frankly, my business would absolutely explode both monetarily and in strong deliverables/results for the advisors. That would be a serious pleasure to see their success.
3. The three greatest benefits I will enjoy once these constraints are removed:
a) Spending more of my business time in intensive work with an inner circle of very serious advisors. This is germinating now, and ready to fluorish with the availability of time. I love and believe in the value that some of these advisors offer, and would enjoy helping them succeed to the height of their business dreams.
b) Being able to launch my "real" business goal when I first started three years ago: helping work at home/stay at home moms and dads accomplish their Family Mission. There is way too much to this to go into it here, and I don't want to share names in this venue. But my dream is for the profits from helping "western world" families accomplish their Family Mission (including the financial freedom to allow them to do whatever it is in the world that they are called to do) to fund the exact same thing happening for families in the "developing world" through micro loans.
c) Bringing my husband home from corporate medicine, setting our family free to go anywhere in the world to do what we are called to do, living our Family Mission.
Thanks, Rich.
Congrats Sarah--and well done!
To Higher Profits,
Rich

Congrats, Sarah!
Congratulations Sarah!
It sounds like you’ve got a great foundation created, and you’re ready to build a strong business. Wanting to help others certainly creates a strong <b.”why”, and when the “why” is strong enough, the “how” becomes a mere formality. One way or another, you’ll get it done.
Again congrats, and best of luck in developing and living your dream!
Congrats Sarah!
I hope winning the prize will help you serve others especially by fulfilling your “Family Mission”.
Bravo,

Congratulations, Sarah!
It’s great that you won such a great prize. Of course, I’m not as generous as Rich, but I wanted to give you a little token as well…
I’ve done some research for you and here’s some ways to spend money wisely from ehow.com, in 7 easy steps:
Step1
Create a budget for bills, food and other living expenses. A common rule of thumb would be to set aside 5 percent of your paycheck for savings. However, the more money you are able to save, the better.
Step2
Try using a “pay as you go” mobile phone, instead of having a home phone with long distance. Pay as you go can keep you from making any long distance calls on a whim and running up your phone bill.
Step3
When you are shopping for food or other essential items, make a list. It will help you to organize your spending habits.
Step4
Stay away from buying top brand names and designer labels. Shop at stores that offer discount prices. Try visiting flea markets.
Step5
Try not to believe in appearances. If you are trying to keep up with your rich neighbors, you might be disappointed. Take care of your future and forget about material things, like appearances.
Step6
Try walking, using public transport or using a bicycle to cut fuel costs. Driving a car can be expensive, particularly when you add in the cost of insurance.
Step7
Get rid of cable television or keep only basic cable to maintain your reception. If you like movies, join Netflix or Blockbuster Online and rent DVD’s for a fraction of your monthly cable bill.
Hope it helps us all through the difficult times of our economy these days.
All the best!
Val
Hey congratulations, this is so cool!
Well done Sarah and all the very best for your future

Sarah,
I resonate with your b) and c) Having just spent a month in India with our young son, we too are working on ways to have the financial and time freedom to help families in the western world and the developing world to achieve the same.
Congratulations for winning.
Congratulations Sarah!
Well deserved prize and an inmediate application to your project WILL take you to the stratosfere $$$! Please let me know when you are able to share the stay-at-home parents, I would like to network with you on this if I am able to contribute on your offerings, specially for the latin market (an VERY interesting option)!
Cheers,

Congratulations Sarah. You fully deserve it.

Congratulations Rich on a hard task, but worthy recipient.
Good luck Sarah, blue skies ahead for you and all others who shall benefit.

Congratulations Sarah! Woo Hoo!
I can’t help wondering though…with your own analysis of what the constraints are and all the related thinking that has gone with it, will Rich really be able to add much???
Perhaps that’s where the magic lies - in that intersection between what you know and want and what he knows and can help you create! I do hope your business explodes as you believe it can!
Like you, my desire to help families is one I have harboured for about 8 years. I want to start Happiness Schools where children and their parents will learn the core skills of living peacefully, joyously and creatively, achieved through the ‘technology’ of meditation and the pnetrating logic and experiential devices that go with it. I really believe that this should be core curriculum in schools.
Anyway, enjoy your prize! Its absolutely wonderful stuff. Go and do what you most want!

Congratulations Sarah. Great comment and good luck with your business!
And more congratulations Sarah. You deserve it.
If Rich is smart and wants maximum results from GPS people, he will make your entry compulsory study before anyone starts. And make sure they understand why you won.
In my mind, your thinking and the clear focus of your objectives are… Bankable!
I am certain that focus gives you a greater chance of success with what you are about to learn. I’d love to hear the outcome.
John MacDonald
Congratulations Sarah!
I bet you are thrilled right now….I sure would be!
Sounds like there could be some synergy as we have two markets in common - I work with IFA’s in the UK to supply wealth creation content for them when they are setting up their new sites / mailing lists and our core clientele is high net worth individuals (particularly women) who have usually made some money in business or property but who want to learn about utilising and investing in what we call the other two of the “Four Lanes of The Wealth Highway” which are The Internet and The Stockmarket.
And I’ve always loved the idea of micro-loans as even very poor people want to earn/work their way out of poverty rather than get handouts and the future entrepreneurs of any country is where the wealth / economy will be created.
Looking forward to networking with you and hearing all about your prize and how you use it!
Warm regards
Nicola
Congragulations Sarah Hurty!
congrats on giving the prize to somebody who is already rich.
Rich good choice well done, this woman will keep on sending on your work and spreading the message. Online work can set you free, and make your dreams come true.
Great Stuff Sarah. You’re onto a winner with Rich.
Hi Rich
& very many congratulations Sarah!
Sarah, when you have worked out the solution - please get in touch.
I am also involved in the financial services space, although slightly different niche - in terms of helping people become successful as traders.
I am struggling to break through the same problems.
Knowing how effective Rich is with identifying the ‘constraints’ and creating effective processes - you are on to a winner & something I too need.
All success,
Ron
Congratulations Sarah, you deserve it so much, and hope that you will use it wisely..

hi sarah which get prize i want all friends win
iam dream to win prizw that convert my life
Sarah,
Excellent job and all my best to you with the financial advisory platform. I am a former trader who still trades my personal account and seeing how so many uninformed investors are out there losing there @sses, your service is one of true value.
Folks just have to come to grips that you can make huge profits in down markets, as well as rising markets. But listening to the media and reading the papers, they’ll never get that point of view.
All my best,
Jim

Congrats, Sarah! Rich and his team made the right choice.
Sarah I can’t say I wasn’t disappointed that it wasn’t me. I was!
But I am also glad for your fortune What a fabulous opportunity you have. Don’t waste a moment of it and do everything he says even if it sounds weird or you are uncomfortable with it Because if you are comfortable with it you’ll stay where you are with your constraints you have to go through being uncomfortable until you no longer are uncomfortable to break through your constraints. I’m glad a like minded person with similar goals recieved this prize and sorry men but as we talked about during Richs 24 hours there are far too few women succeeding in this industry compared to men So I am glad it also went to a woman. I hope to be updated by your successes Sarah and please share your experiences in this process with us That would be awesome to follow you through this process and I would love to have you do a question and answer like Rich did It doesnt have to be 24 hours though to share what you did and what you learned in the process.
Congratulations Again!!
