Hi Rich,

Two quick questions.

Jay Abraham said that gurus pay a “king’s ransom” to get your coaching. I know that the Business Acceleration Program is your home study program not your coaching program, but what kind of “ransom” are we talking here?
How about a Vespa scooter and a promissory note? Will that do? (What will the payment terms be?)

…And wasn’t there some place for advance notification? What is the url for that?

Thanks!
btw, It goes without saying the the greatest cost associated with the BAP is the cost of not getting it…

Stephen,

I’m writing this since you invited the questions …

I’ve bought tons of other informational products and services online one of the last was Mike Filsaime’s DVD set that cost a ton and was nothing real as all the offers promoted on the DVD set were not included nor offered for sale period .. what a waste of cash ..

I’m worried Stephen since you claim Mike and many of the others selling online marketing products are your clients .. why should I trust that you won’t just be looking to create more Mike’s the rip off the public … with this new program?

I had a call from one of your staff members a few weeks after I bought Mike’s course .. and your staff offered a discount on some other program you were selling at the time…

I was disappointed that Mike sold/gave my contact information to you .. without my consent .. just another insider method used to build sales ..

1. Just how long will you be focused to this new program ?
2. Are you looking to teach others to become Mike Filsaime’s ?
3. If you care as you say .. why not address the concerns I left with your staff related to the above ?

I await your reply,

Pete

Rich, there’s one question that I hardly ever see answered in any of these programs, but I noticed you covered back when you were offering personal coaching.

Can you please be frank and blunt with us: who is this program NOT suitable for?

A couple of days ago you invited us to download a free package.
It would be the complete story of how you operate. Well my computer refused to download it. It said the file was corrupted. And there is something I have wondered about for a long time. It is why do all of these gurus care whether I or anybody else is successful? I have new get rich schemes in my inbox daily. Why don’t the gurus use what they know to enrich themselves? Why should they worry about anyone else? I know you say that for you it is not about the money and I believe you. But I do not believe that all wealthy entrepreneurs are afflicted with chronic generosity. Thanks, B.

What is the price going to be? Obviously this is christmas time. I would like to have some idea of what to budget. I know this takes away the intrigue, but I think it’s safe to say you are going to sell as many as you can get out intially regardless of telling us us price.

Can I “Trade In” all the “how to make money online” training and software packages that I purchased over the last two years as a credit toward your training?

I would take ten to twenty cents on the dollar!

Let’s see… that would give me a few thousand dollars credit to buy your training!

Rich,

I don’t have a business, and I have never done anything on the web to make money. I am a complete newbie. This seems to be for those who have already gotten their feet wet. Is this true or can this actually help someone like me too?

WHEN YOUR TO PAY AGO?
Or and you it`s THE LIE?

WHEN YOUR TO PAY AGO?

I’m wondering if this program is directly related to the Attention Age 2 Doctrine. I’m wanting a blueprint directly related to the material in that document. I’m not sure if that’s what the BAP is, or if it’s about more general business-building principles. I need the former — blueprints and tools for becoming a maven in your market (from scratch.) I hope that the sales materials will make clear what the program actually entails.

Rich, I enjoyed reading your marketing insights and perspectives you’ve shared along the way. I’d be interested in trying out your program, but unfortunately, I’m still struggling with WHAT business I should be in? Do you have any programs/thoughts on how to create new online businesses for the newbie? Specifically, opportunity identification, creating and testing viable product ideas, etc….It seems a lot of people online are making money in selling ‘how to’ content (without the ‘how to’ part, I might add), and cross-selling via affiliates. Thanks, PS

Why don’y you simply advertise for other programs ?

congratulation Rich,
what could I do if I know I could not fail?I was failing from others that is why there is nothing about closed-captains for me and deaf people because hearing people do really not let us be the same as them?

Hi Rick,

Will the BAP help a person to get started online. I’ve been lloking for an online business for a while. I just have not been able to find a fit or commit to something.( Or maybe that kick in the but:) to just do it!) I have currently a good construction business, but I want to get more out of live than where I am now.

Thanks,

Daniel

Your materials talk about outsourcing, about having a staff, and about running a multi-employee company. While I know it limits (or caps) the income potential, is your BAP appropriate for the person who wants to run an online program specifically to avoid being involved with a “big” company?
Can you actually BE the “hermit in a cave” (where the cave is your living room) and use the BAP?

Thanks in advance.
Rick Carter

Hi Rich,

Is the cost of BAP is inclusive of the tools e.g. marketing tools needed to build a successful online business?

Does the BAP shows a systematic way to determine my business passion?

I would like to hear from you soon.

I have gone through your mails but find them difficult for a novice with limited computer access to implement. Is it possible for the proposals to work for somebody without a website. What I expected is a simple package that would take care of computer novices with limited access to internet. All your proposals seem complicated and would require total devotion to computer at the expense at his/her job.

Hi Rich,

Do you feel that your program’s applicable to folks outside of e-commerce? We own an import auto repair shop. We’re getting beat up badly by our former landlord who moved into the space we vacated (pushed out of) and immediately hung up his own Volvo, Saab Subaru service sign. We used to take our Customers cars to his shop, next door, for emissions testing; didn’t make sense for both of us to have the equipment … wrong. He entered all of the Customer and vehicle data into his data base and started advertising to our Customers as soon as we moved. Oops, need to be careful before I fall off my soap box! Congratulations on your great work!
Yes, I suppose the answer is to get out of this business and start an online business. The problem of course is me. I see it as overcrowded already with folks peddling useless junk and can’t imagine what I could offer of any real value

Is the first part of your training about photoreading or speed reading and/or accelerated learning skills as developed by NLP practitioners? … Maybe also about Mind Mapping & Planning? If so, what else in your tool box? What is the difference that makes a difference in the way you train or coach or mentor?

I just echo some of the other comments. Too many offers that all sound equally like “this is the real deal”. I haven’t bitten lately, but have sunk a good chunk o change in the past for the magic bullet/s that were all just tragic bull__t.
Can your system really be the one that a hard working guy or girl like all of us here awaiting your offering are waiting for?
I won’t hold my breath too long here.
BTW I did enjoy and agree with the Attention Age 2 Doctrine. Good job! I hope it’s an indication of some real change coming.

Rich, I am South African and have been following the build-up to the release of your BAP closely. I have also read the Attention Age Doctrine Part 2. I have been trying to get an internet business off the ground for a while now, but have had no success. Unfortunately for us in South Africa, broadband costs are high and we can’t afford to spend a whole lot of money on long conference calls so downloadable video and calls etc. are not worthwhile in this part of the world. I would dearly love to buy your program, but my question is, can it help a newbie get something off the ground or is it only meant for existing businesses. Secondly, does the program have a large component of call support and video downloads, as this will make it less than ideal in our part of the world? (Add to that, are your strategies geared towards the American market, or is it useful anywhere in the world?) Thanks, Cobus from Cape Town, South Africa

I had the same problem as Betty Locke above. Very good questions too. Why do all of these self proclaimed millionaires care whether I, or anybody else is successful? Answer: (They don’t, and if they are truly wealthy, selling their trash is probably how they did it)! I have new get rich schemes in my inbox daily too. Why don’t the “gurus” use what they know to enrich themselves? Answer: (They are, and we are the poor suckers providing the means)! Why should they worry about anyone else? Answer: (other than the money you can give them, they don’t)! I know you say that for you it is not about the money. Here is an idea, “prove it” by gifting your program. I certainly do not believe that any wealthy entrepreneurs are afflicted with chronic generosity, more likely to be greed for more money. In addition, if the program is so great, and you have as you say, “already made your millions, and retired”. Why not do something very unique, and truly give your help by gifting your program? This would truly help others rather than selling it like those rip-off artist’s mentioned above by so many on this BLOG, to put more money in their own pockets. Afterall, if we are really talking about millionaires as proclaimed, wouldn’t miss it, and it would likely be a tax write-off. Generosity, and a win/win. Now thats putting your money where your mouth is, and setting yourself apart! Thanks, James

Hi Rich,

Boy, it’s interesting, isn’t it, to rifle through people’s pre-conceived ideas about you. Anyway, here’s my query.

You’ve had lots of questions about whether your program is useful for complete newbies, but I’m a little further on. I have the business set up, it’s in its first couple of months; I even had Livejournal on my side before I began so I’m already using social networking in my own small way. I’m working my @ss off and I recognise the need to outsource. I even have people ready and waiting to take on the roles I have for them.

However, I’ve started this thing on a shoestring, so my roadblock is the ability to pay them.

How is purchasing your program going to beat using my modest resources to build something with which I can pay them in a few exhausting months’ time?

I also echo the question about usefulness outside the US. I’ve been burned by programs that assume I’m American and provide resources I cannot use. How useful is this program to me if Robin Hood is my next door neighbour?

Best wishes to you, your colleagues and your families this holiday season!

Hi Rich,
My name is Ashley and I reside in beautiful Australia.

I am really excited about what I have read so far and look forward to hearing more…… My concern is that I am a one man (actually women) band and really want to stay that way as I am a Mother of two boys. My point is that I want to do the best I can and remain an at home Mum, and spend as little time as possible actually hands-ons in the business. I’m not afraid of hard work (in fact I love it!) but I still need to run a home, care for my boys and make a reasonable living. I’m doing OK for a first time operator in my first two years of business and if my growth continues at a constant rate, will certainly be where I need to be, in a couple of years. That aside, what I have read from you makes so much sense and I want to know more….. but I have limited resources and run on a shoestring…. will someone small-time like me be able to afford the next step?
Kind regards
Ashley, Sydney, Australia

I have to agree with almost all the posts, I have no moneym I am on disability and on a very low fixed income. You say you are already a millionair, so why don;t you gift the new “secret” program of yours and let the poor people be able to Lice instead of struggling, going without food and heat for example.

By the way, I downloaded the Doctrine 2, is there a doctrine 1 and if so, where do I find it?
Thanks

Rich, you have no idea how much I want to get my hands on your new program. I’ve been working hard. Got my squeeze pages set up, got the autoresponders running. I’m ready to go!
I’ve got it all set up. Now I just have to build my list, but here’s the thing…

I run a massage business out of my home, and I’ve been turning down clients so I’d have the time to work at the computer to learn and develop my internet business. I am so ready to go, but there is one small catch… because of the time I’ve spent on the computer instead of taking clients, I’m low on funds. With Holidays coming, it means fewer available clients till the New Year.
Rich, you say now that you are retired, and your desire now is to help others achieve thier financial freedom. So, consider this… I’m reaching out for help. A payment plan would be wonderful; or keep myself and those in a similar situation such as myself on a list, and make the program available to us again in a couple months. This would give me the time I need to plan for it.
Just think about it. I promise, I’ll be worth the effort. I have a lot of drive. I’ve got the focus. I know I’ve got great stuff to share that people want. I’m a strong speaker, I’m good on camera and I can write. I just need your guidance to bring them to me. What’s all this worth to you? I’ll be an amazing testimonial. There are not enough women out there on the internet achieving great success. I know I am going to be one of them, and I know you are the best one to help me make it happen more effectively.

Thank you for everything you’ve given so far, and for what is yet to come.

Warm wishes - Taylore

my big thanks

Hi Rich

Does this program compliment your Bus growth Program?

I have done that and use some of that but i dont want to pay for much the same stuff.

How is it different?

william….

HI,
Perhaps I saw your ad but, I mixed it in with all the other offers I receive weekly. I am embarrassed by this but, it is the state of affairs on the Internet. Most people are just out there to try and take advantage of you. That doesn’t mean you give up! That means you try harder. That means you look until you find the program that will make the money that your family needs. I’ve heard great things about you Rich and I am looking forward to your launch. Will your program be the one that puts me over the top? I hope so but, if it isn’t I keep looking. You see, I will succeed on the Internet! I have to, I have to for my family and because of that, nothing will stop me from succeeding. My family is everything to me and I will succeed for them.

Hello everyone,

I have been a member of Rich’s Business Growth System a while ago. At the time I was a complete newbie in Internet Business. I had a lot of knowledge about computers and Internet, however up to that point I haven’t made much money online (maybe 300 USD total). After going through the program, I was still at the same level.

My belief is that this program (same as Business Growth System) is in no way suitable for a complete newbie. For those who are already earning something online, this can
be an amazing program which will help them to be more productive, more effective, help them multiply their earnings and at the same time help them to reduce the time they spend
online.

However, for those who aren’t making anything, or are making small ammounts online, this program WILL NOT be useful.

I have nothing against Rich, I think he is a great guy that creates great materials, I just wouldn’t like to see other newbies make the same mistake as I did. I’m sure the program won’t be cheap, like the Business Growth System wasn’t.

I don’t want you to get carried away by everything that Rich says. If you are already making money online, sign up for the course, it will be an amazing experience. If you aren’t making anything - PASS.

Hi,

I don’t have any business today but want to start one. Will this program be for newbies as well? Meaning, is there any help with brainstorming for profitable businesses?

Thanks for your help.

JT

I had spent a fortune on online crape but never successed, what is diffrent in you’r program to give me gaurenty of success????

What’s the difference with your B.G.S.?

thanks,
John

Would something like this work for a blog that hasn’t tried to monetize yet or developed product?

Hi Rich,

I must mention that am very excited. I missed the Attention Age part 1, i got the Attention Age part two and i have dicovered the its very powerful. My business has not grown so much but am seeing it working.

I must also mention that i have not been doing business on the net but i want to know how i can started on the internet. May you could have explained this sometime back before i started receiving these thought provoking and life changing tools from you.

Thanks,

Gibson

Hi Rich,

I just finished reading your “Attention Age Doctrine 2″ and read it “cover to cover” in one sitting. Yep, you got my attention alright.
I have two questions.

1. Will these tools work for MLMers?
2. Since it’s Christmas time, can you do a “bill the credit card AFTER 90 days, unless you are not satisfied”? As a businessman, I know you should be fairly compensated for your work, but I suspect that many of us just starting out will not be able to afford the price tag.

I lied…I have another question.

3. I have two things that I am passionate about, Bible Studies and Computer Networking & Web Design. Neither of those things are niche markets, per se, because a lot of people are good at those things…heck, better than I am. How do I establish myself as a Maven in an area where there are bigger experts than me? I can see how this could help my dad, who is an expert on antique fishing lures, but what about me?

Thank you for the free information, and I just now came to your blog. Rest assured I’ll read every post. YOUR emails are the ones that won’t get deleted immediately by fiat.

God Bless you, Rich.

What are the details of the Business Acceleration Program and how does it differ from the Business Growth System? I can’t find this on your site.

I am just getting going with a business that trains people in creative spoken communication. So far I have been selling myself by the hour and I realize the limitations of that but do not have any substantial products yet that I could sell on the internet. Is your system suitable for me?

Dear Rich,
I am subscribed to your newsletter and often visit this blog also.
Me, from India. Thanks for your regular mails. I dont own a website. i dont think i can own one and do some online business(though i sometimes download ur pdf files and think of starting one). because of $ vs INR ratio, i cant to it.
i also dont know how to get a website and receive payments through websites, and of course i have some writings on my own. all i want to do it is to create a website, and market my product initially in print media. if you have any tips for that do mail me. also i am into direct selling (multi level) industry and have some basic knowledge and some freinds in my team.
i just posted this because i feel i must write to you.
so i did. thanks Rich.
Have a good day.
Mouli

Hey Rich -

I’ve been into Internet Marketing for a year or 2 now.

I get my leads from one source.

I follow up w/ them with an auto responder and broadcast emails.

This is where I’m at. Anyone who knows anything abotu anything, knows that one needs to invest in themselves and their business. So I’m looking at different products and systems to help me grow.

What can your system do for the avg. beginner like myself?

I’m not sure what your program entails…..

Can you explain Rich?

Thank you for your time -
Jeremy

Contrary to what a lot of people are saying here, I don’t believe that Rich is selling his ideas just to make money. I do believe that he’s in it to help people. To say that is impossible for a millionaire guru to not want to help somebody is just absurd. I’ve implemented some successful marketing strategies in the past and instead of keeping it to myself, I created extensive training packets for free on these strategies and distributed to interested parties. Why? I feel good if my ideas end up helping somebody. It provides self-satisfaction. You can say that it is a selfish motive, and it is to a certain extent, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that the main objective is to help people. That’s what gurus like Rich and John Reese do.

That being said, if I utilize these tips in the BAP, should I easily be able to cover the cost of investment for the program? I’ve bought past programs that stated “if you use just one tip here you’ll at least make double what you spent on this program” and am curious to see what you would project both start up companies and established companies to produce from the BAP in terms of ROI. Thanks.
