Update Sept 29, 2008, Monday
We’ve narrowed our decision down, but boy is this tough. Stay tuned for the winner!
Ever have one of those days where you were so excited to get started you woke up before your alarm clock was set to go off?
That’s exactly what happened to me this morning. Because I knew exactly what I needed to tell you on my blog today — and I couldn’t wait for you to read it!
See, Friday night, Debi asked me “Do you think all your subscribers fully realize how explosive the elimination of even one, key constraint can be for their businesses?” Frankly, I had to confess I haven’t really connected those dots for you.
- How all the things you’ve already done to grow your business have created enormous back-pressure that is suddenly released; bringing a sudden surge of growth, sales and profits …
- How the demands on your time and energy that have you slaving away 60, 80 even 100 or more hours a week simply vanish; giving you time and energy for the things that really matter to you …
- And how all that new money and time — and the prestige and respect that flow to you as the owner of a business that’s taking your niche by storm — can change your life.
I want you to think about that. Hard.
I want you to ask yourself, “If every major constraint in my businesses suddenly vanished — right now, today — what would my life be like in a month? In two months? On New Year’s Day, 2009?
“How many new customers would I have? How many more sales would I be making every day? How much more could I pay myself?
“How much more fun would it be to go to work each morning and preside over a company that is bursting at the seams … that’s living up to its potential … and that is making me richer than I ever thought possible?
“What would I do … what would I buy … where would I go to celebrate my succsess? What would my new home look like? What car would I be driving? What would my next family vacation be like? How would it feel to see so much money piling up in my shopping cart every day, I’d never have to worry about money ever again?”
Because when you think about it, removing constraints isn’t just about eliminating the frustrating problems you wrestle with every day. It’s not just about spending less time at work and more time with your family.
It’s about breaking through to the next level … making your mark on your entire industry … and guaranteeing yourself and your family all the riches that flow from that kind of success.
I’ve seen it happen scores of times in my clients’ companies. Once I help them identify and eliminate the constraints that are blocking their success, the company is instantly transformed and the owner’s life permanently altered for the better.
And when I discovered this new way of creating success, it happened for me, too. These days, the toughest decision I have to face is whether to buy Debi a new Mercedes or a new Maserati. I have a king’s ransom socked away for a rainy day. My company produces all the money I could ever want — almost instantly, on demand.
But just three, short years ago, none of that was true. The one, huge difference? I learned how to correctly identify and eliminate my constraints.
Back then, my big constraint was my positioning in my market. Sure, I was well known in insider circles as the coach to the gurus, but to the general marketplace I was invisible, nobody knew who I was. So, I combined the one-two-three punch of Silver Bullets #2, #6, and #7.
Specifically, I combined the knowledge gained from silver bullet #2 (fast and frequent intelligence) to write a viral report leveraging silver bullet #6, social psychology marketing, guided by silver bullet #7 (removing the buyers bottlenecks).
The result — a viral report I entitled The Internet Business Manifesto — two weeks later my coaching program sold out in just 2 hours and 14 minutes. Immediately there was $1 million sitting in my PayPal account, plus a $217,000 monthly recurring revenue stream totaling 2.6 million over the next 12 months. In total $3.6 million from a single free report. And of course, millions more have flowed to me in the years since.
The money’s great. The sense of achievement … the knowledge that I alone are in control of my business destiny is even greater. And frankly, the prestige that comes with all of that is amazing.
About a month and a half ago, for example, I was invited to Las Vegas to an invitation-only summit for some of the world’s most successful web entrepreneurs. Later this week I’m flying to another exclusive meeting of the 100 most powerful online marketers at Chicago’s Hard Rock Hotel.
I’m not telling you any of this to brag; only to get you thinking about how quickly and how easily you could be joining us. Remember: I’ve helped put more people in these exclusive meetings than any other business coach alive. And if you’re one of the lucky ones who gets into my Guided Profit System program, I’ll get you there, too!
So, to help you connect with the radical ways your life will change once we identify and eliminate the constraints in your business, we’re going to have a contest.
And to really get your juices flowing, the winner’s going to get:
A full ride scholarship to my upcoming coaching program – where we’ll work together each and every day for thirty days. Together we’ll obliterate one business debilitating constraint after another. The net effect will be that what you write down below will be true for you no latter than Halloween.A one day blitz for your business – we’ll send you your airfare and set you up in a posh hotel right around the corner from my office so my entire team and I can focus exclusively on your business. Every resource I have will be entirely focused on you and your success.A complimentary spot in my $25,000 private reserve club– including private masterminds (with other elite online entrepreneurs) at my office, dedicated time with my staff, and exclusive personal access to me and my vast resources.
Read My New Report - The Uncertainty Syndrome: The Entrepreneurial Emergency
Then Leave A Comment Below and answer these three questions:- Do you know what your single greatest constraint is right now? If so, what is it?
- How many constraints away are you from having the business and the life of your dreams?
- What are the three greatest benefits you’ll enjoy once those constraints are removed?
I’ll even give you some clues to what the winning posts will contain. First, they probably won’t contain sob stories. I don’t want to sound heartless, but frankly, my coaching programs are not about obsessing over your challenges and obstacles to success. It’s about exploding through them with a “Nothing-can-stand-in my way” attitude and the tools that make your success inevitable.
Instead, the winning entries will demonstrate – as specifically as possible – What your single greatest constraint is right now… What would your life be like without these constraints … The benefits you will enjoy when these constraints are removed.
The person who understands the most how much this concept is affecting your business in a negative way, and how miraculous it will be when it is gone, will be the winner.
Then we will turn that into phenomenal business growth in the year ahead.
Beginning this Wednesday 10PM EST – I’ll announce winner right here on this page. Make sure you use your right email address so we can get in touch with you.
So what are you waiting for?
Give me your answers now!

Hi Rich!
Another constraint blowing report, it’s mindblowing, at least in my mindset and highlights the biggest things I need to overcome to reach my goals.
1. What’s my biggest constraint?It is definitely #1. I have this mindset that I need to get everything right before I begin and not make any mistakes. I guess this would be the mistake itself! Fail Forward Fast… that creates clarity.
2. The life of my dreams? That path is littered with obstacles. All your 7 Silver Bullets are required. Badly.
3. 3 greatest benefits? #1. Freedom to move forward. #2. Freedom to take charge. #3. Freedom to spread a greater good.
Cheers,
Kelvin
Rich,
Your material keeps getting BETTER AND BETTER… this is awesome dude.
I would enter this contest, but I wouldn’t want to take this prize from one of my customers that have posted on this blog.
I have been through your coaching program… and it ROCKED!
I literally got chills when I saw what all you were giving away… this is going to CHANGE someone’s life!
Props to you dude!
-Ryan
Rich,
Your stuff NEVER ceases to amaze me.
I would love to enter this contest, but I wouldn’t want to take the prize from one of my customers that has already commented on here.
I have been through your coaching program, and it totally ROCKED!
This is going to CHANGE someone’s life!
Props to you dude!

Hey Rich
In truth that the greatest obstacle in life is fear of making decisions because you think you’re going to lose your money, but who said that there is the fear? that’s the biggest farce.
In life I have to get up from the ground and once told me if I joined to succeed, and you do not say that until today I have accomplished what I want, because what I lack most is money that could be a limitation, but not at all.
1. What is my biggest obstacle? # Ok this is definitely going to tell you that the biggest obstacle, you could be the lack of training in the fields of business. but I have always had clear goals and that’s why I fight every day for sonseguir a heritage for my family. and that it was reached.
2.Yo if you can “dream of opening up the skies to send blessings” to reach my goals. But the heavens do not open if one does not move his arms.
3. What pleases me most is that in life I have always had arms that I hal lifted above where it was before. That is my testimony, and even other countries that maybe have not been able to take advantage sa.
and that triunfare and will do that others can see the open skies of plenty.
thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak for many.
SAINTGREEG FOR THE WORLD.
1. My single greatest constraint is focus. It’s often either spread too thin, or it’s just not there at all. Confusion is often a by-product of it on how to set up my business funnel and where exactly to spend my energy.
2. I’d say 2 constraints. Focus and also clarity on exactly how to build the funnel.
3. The 3 greatest benefits would be #1 speed in accomplishing my goals in whatever it is, #2 overcoming obstacles, and #3 Wealth and freedom (although that can be counted as two).

Hi Rich
I posted this last night but it’s not showing so here it is again.
Thanks for generously giving us such phenomenal information! You are succinct, clear and mind blowing. Now about this competition. I would love to get $100,000 in coaching and products – who wouldn’t? And if I win it I’m sure it would be one of your greatest challenges yet.
My niche is difficult to say the least, they won’t have any money soon, they’re from lots of different backgrounds and countries and they need a lot of help. Yep, kids. Tomorrow’s entrepreneurs. And I want to capture them now, teach them and keep them as clients for a long time.
My blog is new and focuses on creative kids who have made it as the World’s Youngest Director at ten, a candy manufacturer at seven, an internet queen at twelve, published authors at four, six and above or the youngest drummer and clothing manufacture at four. Yes, they are out there and doing it large.
But no one knows about these dynamos and while other kids burn hours away in chat rooms they could be becoming the best version of themselves. I want to wake them up and I know you’re the man to help me especially now since you’re offering.
Now my constraints:
1. I believe my single greatest constraint is sticking to the strategies I have outlined without being continually sidetracked by the newest latest information out there. My next single constraint is allowing myself to read my niche market correctly.
2. I think constraints are like layers. You only see the ones that need to be cleared at any one time. Right now I see two. But as soon as the light shines on them others may rapidly appear. The life of my dreams? Two constraints and a mind shift away.
3. The three greatest benefits I’ll enjoy once those constraints are removed include more time to really strategize and get into this, write another movie and buy a nice house.
So, now you know my constraints but can you live with you’re constraints with me:
1. My niche is underdeveloped but large.
2. I live in another country – but hey with technology that shouldn’t be a problem.
3. I’m female and I notice you don’t have too many of ‘us’ showing up.
4. My online blog is new which means there are few problems that can’t be fixed and few successes to talk about.
5. My background is in banking, mining, movies and some IT. My tech knowledge is average and now on a very steep permanent learning curve.
So, if you can help make me a success it would make you a god in everyone’s eyes… good for business don’t you think?
Thanks for the opportunity
Christine McVeigh
Hey Rich,
Great report and post!
I think my single greatest constraint right now is the fact that I don’t like to ask for help and try to do everything myself and I end up taking too much time to do certain tasks that I should have just outsourced.
I would guess that there are a handfull of constraints that are keeping me from having the business and the life of your dreams but the biggest is my own “inner game” that I have to deal with.
The three biggest benefits I will enjoy once my constraints are removed are more time with my family, less stress in my life and more passive income from the systems I will have put into place.
Take Care,
~Brett

Hi Rich,
Recently I have noticed that each time I complete an application to participate in a contest for a great product such as your new coaching program (GPS), I always get left out.
Perhaps you know why?
I really do hate that rejection feeling, the feeling of not being wanted, to win a contest.
But hey, I think I have worked it out.
Could it be because my company hasn’t made it’s first dollar?
What do you think?
Since Jan. 1, 2008, I’ve been learning from and studying the best Internet Marketing guys (Your clients) in the world and include; StomperNet faculty (full membership), Jeff Walker (PLF 2.0), Frank Kern (Mass Control membership), John Reese (TS 2.0), John Carlton (Simple Writing System) & Mike Filsaime (Butterfly Marketing monthly report).
My business is to bring out a Info product/service for REAL beginner online entrepreneurs, just like I was 4 years ago. I want to teach other people what I have learned and introduce my clients to this wonderful IM community.
Here are the Q&A’s you asked for;
1. Do you know what your single greatest constraint is right now? If so, what is it?
Yes, it is ME, MYSELF & I.
2. How many constraints away are you from having the business and the life of your dreams?
One
3. What are the three greatest benefits you’ll enjoy once those constraints are removed?
Paying my debt off, sleeping peacefully at night & seeing my wife and daughter with a smile on their faces.
I hope to hear some good news soon but please be aware that I am once again anxious to not receive another rejection from yet another contest.
I am willing to do what it takes to make this happen.
Kind regards
Chris Arts
1. Yes. Not having the proper knowledge to get my site listed with search engines in order to get traffic to my site.
2. I fell that I am so close start making money, and I know it can happen with some guidence and training it will take me over the edge.
3. Just to be able to pay all your bills as soon as you get them would be such a blessing.
To have extra money to give to my church and other charities.
To start enjoying a residual income and being retirement age I would like to quit my electric and plumbing business working 8&9 hour days and start enjoying life traveling when ever I please.
I would like to experience the joy of being able to plan one vacation every year and a big bonus would be to take more then one vacation every year.
Do you know what your single greatest constraint is right now? If so, what is it?
My first constraint was not having my own businnes because I was an opportunity seeker, jumping from seem-to-be good opportunities to seem-to-be great opportunities. At last, the only goal I achieved was some minor streams of income. After your Internet business manifesto I totally changed my mind from an opportunity seeker mind to a more strategist brain. And from minor streams of income to a real business based on my strengths.
My current constraint is simply FEAR of scaling up my advertising and business funding investments. This constraint is literally forcing me to become a slave of my own business instead of converting my business into a tool of personal freedom.
How many constraints away are you from having the business and the life of your dreams?
I think constraints are always present but only 1 is the bottleneck that is constraining your results today. I already identified mine today, future constraints must be identified as appear. I think its more important to create an effective personal and business system to identify them at the right time and overcame them properly.
What are the three greatest benefits you’ll enjoy once those constraints are removed?
First and what I consider the crucial element is real FREEDOM. I mean freedom is generally an empty concept everybody talk about but only a little number of people really enjoy it. I think building up your own business without constraints is the ultimate tool to achieve this freedom, because it provides a good economic foundation, a form of self improvement and an opportunity to give back good things to society.
Second is FREE TIME. With more free time you can share your life with those who are important with you. Family and friends.
Third benefit is EXCITEMENT. For me creating a business that grows with the time and perfoms better and more efficiently cause me excitement and a feeling of achievement.
Thanks Rich for sharing your knowledge and ideas. I followed and I personally recomend your business growth system but even without being your customer anyone can improve his/her results with your free reports.
1. Do you know what your single greatest constraint is right now? If so, what is it? My single greatest constraint is automating my business and hiring a team to replace me so I can focus on IM 100%.
2. How many constraints away are you from having the business and the life of your dreams? One business plan of action.
3. What are the three greatest benefits you’ll enjoy once those constraints are removed? Freedom to focus on what I enjoy the most, internet marketing.
Hi Rich,
Great report - again!
The answers:
1.) My single greatest constraint right now is that we really don’t use systems in our business. There was a time - after the Manifesto came out - when we tried it, but I guess without the right people it is impossible. Now we have more ‘A’ players in our team, so it’s time to think systems again.
2.) One. Always the next one. Puting joke aside, I really don’t see more than 2-3 really big things we have to master. But the first is to design and implement systems.
3.) (a) I will work 70 hour a week only if I want to - probably I won’t. (b) I will spend more quality time with my amazing 12-year-old son. I will be at all of his basketball games again, I will play co-op game on his PS more, I will go and play all his favorite sports a lot mor often. I’m going to have the time and money to start a new family, and I’m not going to make the same mistakes that led to my divorce…
Hope see you soon!

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.
Hey Rich,
I feel that my biggest constraint is fear, fear of not performing the right action, fear of wasting my time.
There are so many different ways (or least I perceive that there are) ways to build my internet business. Should I build my blog or redesign my website? Should I use click bank or get a merchant account?
I find that I will start in a direction and then find information pointing in a new, and maybe better direction, switch and then do it all over again.
I need guidance! Not someone to do the work or hold my hand, but to instead give me some confidence that I’m heading in the right direction.
With this constraint lifted I would be a focused business owner working towards a goal. Not jumping from project to project. I can see my life working and building my business with a renewed energy.
My bottom line goal for my business is to do something that I love and my niche is something I am extremely passionate about. But I also am working towards a lifestyle that will allow me to focus on my family.
Thanks for all the free info that you graciously reward us with!

1. Do you know what your single greatest constraint is right now? If so, what is it? Not sure, probably: No systems followed by: don’t know how to get my visitors through the buying process & inefficiently do almost everything myself
2. How many constraints away are you from having the business and the life of your dreams? 3
3. What are the three greatest benefits you’ll enjoy once those constraints are removed? More time with family, less financial stress, being able to do/get the things I want for/with my family
Thanks Rich for another fantastic report.
I fall into a different group here because I am launching my contractor member-only site on October 16.
I took a solid year to put this all together and thanks to you and others I will have a successful site. So I have an advantage here because I am able to install your ideas as they came available to me.
Thinking about your systems approach was a goldmine for me and building a trusted network was priceless.
Man when you wrap yourself around the right people you can make magic.I am so excited to finally do this and to know I can finally get out of the everyday job rat race.
So all I can say is thanks so much because I have learned so much already and I hope who ever wins understands the gift they received. Priceless!
Hey Rich,
OUTSTANDING report!
Single greatest constraint right now : trying to do it myself without specific, clear, focused information such as that provided exclusively and magnanimously by you - the KING - of real life, no BS, alchemy orientated marketing.
The inability to focus in the right direction means that I and I am sure many focus in many directions yet find ourselves on the treadmill - not getting anywhere fast, or not getting anywhere fast enough. This is why your information is not good! No! It is vital! IT IS LIFE, LIVLIHOOD AND THEREFORE THAT PASSION each one of us has turned into specific action, clear result, focused direction. What else to ask from life and work?
The three biggest benefits I will enjoy once my obstacles are cleared away:
1. Superior Wealth
2. Superior Life that comes from Superior Wealth, Focused time management by shooting the arrow towards bullseye of business building!
3. Different type of stress - from “stress” to “power”! Work will still be required except it will be work that will pay off with results meaning “less stress”! The freedom that comes from that means “power” to be, have and do anything and everything one’s wants from life! That is amazing! Thank you Rich! I am coming on your courses with or without the prizes!
Long Life The Rich!

Rich,
I’ve been doing this for years, watching other people come into the IM community all frustrated, then “miraculously” they make the connection with a GURU and they catapult.
This left me feeling inadequate thinking, “what was wrong with me when I was meeting GURUS too doing what they told me and still not finding success”.
That’s constraint number one; feeling like this just doesn’t work for me and I have to suck @#$@ and become someone’s pet to get anywhere and I’m not willing to do that.
I have fallen under constraints number 2 through 6 which I believe is ALL in the the MIND and the belief system we have in place. So not all those things you list but many of the parameters you listed in each constraint I could identify with.
Constraint Number One then would be my belief system which my friend, has come a long way since then and I have a new lease on how I approach my LIFE now.
There are many constraints too like distraction: there is so much crap from every guru foretelling what works and what doesn’t and how this will make that work if only . . . etc. etc.
Plus reading these emails from said gurus . . and they’re ALL correct, right? Then surfing their site to read what the new wave is all about and before you know it, the day is blown and frustration sets in again along with inadequacy.
It goes back to constraint #1-Believing you can’t do it and need to read more crap and buy more shit to make this internet work thing work; you just know all you need is that last piece of crap some guru is touting.
What I had to get past to realize my dreams?
Discovering who I am, who I really am, and knowing who I am and what I should be doing is the key to my success and anyone elses success too if they dig inside and find out.
That was the step needed to making this work; believing, stopping the noise (distraction) and digging deep inside and BEING who I AM. That’s who the world wants to see and get to know, not just another clone of some GURU.
So here’s the kicker and your final question. What are the three greatest benefits you’ll enjoy once those constraints are removed?
1. The attainment of who I am and serving humanity BEING who I am the best way I can.
2. The RELIEF of finally being me and not having to bullshit myself being something I am not. Lifting all expectations of being something I was never meant to be.
3. Having only the problem of whether to buy a Jaguar or a Mercedes for my loved ones including myself. LOL
In other words finally being FREE, carefree like a child and being good to myself and not kicking myself in the ass anymore. Truly loving myself all the way because I am doing that which I was born to do and taking my place amongst the stars.
Thanks for helping me understand . . .

My single and greatest constraint is the lack of clear direction and succumbing to information overload.
I would also say that I am 3 constraints away from having a business and life of my dreams
The benefits that I will be able to enjoy once those constraints are removed to name a few is no more financial worries, freedom and being able to help others and become another great testimonial for others who would find themselves in my current situation.
Rich, Interesting offer.
To give you some context: I own a 200 seat call center in Manila, Phillippines grossing $2m annually. We serve US, Canada and Australia entrepreneurs and executives that want to outsource call center or back office.
I am currently in Las Vegas attending the ERA (Electronic Retailer Association)
1.I believe my single greatest restraint is my network. I am young, I have built this biz on a shoe string and I have strong vision of reshaping the world (see FullPotential.com)
2.If I had a world class network I could leverage this business, myself and our resources in a faster more effective way.
3. The top three benefits of removing this constraint:
1 - Time, energy and money is greatly leveraged through network.
2 - We will have the visibility and credibility to influence many lives for the better
3 - Our deal making power will signicantly increase making it possible to be a major player in the global marketplace.
Rich there is no end to the steps I am prepared to take to create a powerful network for positive purposes and I am sure there is a synergy here for both of us.

1. Biggest single greatest constraint is right now? If online business consists of product/service, traffic & conversion, biggest single constraint is generating a consistent traffic flow
2. Constraints away from having the business and the life of your dreams? Once consistent traffic flow is achieved, I see a suitable conversion rate as the next restraint… following that, building up business (managerial) systems so that the business can be scaled up to much higher revenue levels
3. Three greatest benefits I’ll enjoy once those constraints are removed are:
a) doing what I love
b) free time to pursue personal interests & pleasures
c) free to sell business for windfall if desired
Single greatest constraint:
Difficulty in applying what I know.
Business and the life of your dreams is not to far away, I can just tell, I have a gut feeling. A few constraints to hurdle and I’m there.
Three greatest benefits I will enjoy once those constraints are removed:
Accomplishment, Success, & Fulfillment
One of my favorite sayings was how Rich closed his report…
The best is yet to come!
Hi Rich,
My greatest constraint is lack of confidence. That confidence that comes from knowing the lay of the land, and that I’m not taking the long way around. I have a flood of ideas, but have trouble manifesting them. It doesn’t stop me from trying, I just feel like I could leave some rubber on the road if I had a mentor and some team.
This is my last constraint… I’m all in.
3 benefits?
Gaining the ability and experience to make my ideas real. Freedom from trading hours for dollars. Freedom to live life with my family without time and money restraints.
Sooner or later, I’ll be joining you at one of those invite only meetings, Rich! See you then… and thanks!
Hi Rich,
Here we go!
1. Do you know what your single greatest constraint is right now? If so, what is it?
Yes-it is Constraint # 3 Linear Thinking - Learn to view your business as one large system. I’m a one man operation without the cash to bring help on board.
2. How many constraints away are you from having the business and the life of your dreams?
I’m only 2 constraints away. I’ve removed Constraints 1 and 4 thru 7 & have evidence to back it up. You help me remove # 3 and I will have time to remove # 2 Flying Blind. Or maybe we remove # 3 and # 2 is removed quickly as a by-product of removing # 2?
3. What are the three greatest benefits you’ll enjoy once those constraints are removed?
I can sum it up as Having Constraint # 3 removed & enjoying benefits of efficient system will impact so much of my life that there’s several great benefits but here’s the big three.
1. Take better care of my wife and 2 year old son. (Wife recently had major surgeries to remove 8 tumors & we have no support team here)
2. Improve my health. Being a one man team, I don’t get much sleep and even less quality sleep. You can imagine what that’s done to my health.
3. Make better use of my strongest skills (I’m a writer, voice-over talent, record producer, creator of ideas who will flourish by removing Constraint # 3 and gaining ability to complete profitable ideas for myself & A list network)
I’d be a great candidate for you to coach because I’ve already knocked out all but two constraints and have consistently accomplished a lot in life. What’s prevented me from long term sustainable success is constraint # 3 and as a side symptom, constraint # 2.
I just need to get past the last big hurdle and so much more becomes available to me and my family.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter the contest & sell you on coaching me.
Best regards,
Michael
Hey Rich,
What a great opportunity…
Being a newby at internet marketing and businesses I would have to say that the number one constraint I have is just getting the balls to get something started.
I have three major constraints to enjoying the business of my dreams 1) Getting started
2) Finding the right person to devlpoe the business idea I have into a realty
3) Identifying and implementing the right financial funding model for the project.
Once in place and the business is up and running, I would enjoy giving my current boss the big wave goodbye and focus on enjoying my family and teaching my boys money and market strategies to prosper in this world.
All the best for the blessed person who get’s your help…
I know they will benefit greatly from your wealth of experience.
Bless you,
John
Hi Rich- Amazing report, it would be equally amazing if people would finally break thru to the point of DOING and not just reading….. I have broken thru $ 500,000 of debt in the last 2 years ( paid off! 100% debt free), have broken free of other’s expectations of myself, limiting beliefs ( most of them) in my head, and yet when you ask these questions- I still have an answer. Which means, at this level that I am at, YOU are the key to my knowing how to break free 100%. Once you tell me what to do- I will do it, hands down, bar none. So here goes:
1. Do you know what your single greatest constraint is right now? If so, what is it? Yes- it’s the belief that still crawls out of my past success/failure pattern: One day I’ll have all the success I have desired and dreamed of and yet have no life to live. I know how to get there, have sold millions of dollars of products, have broken records in companies, have marketed myself to a multiple six figure income, but there’s still that sick and disgusting ‘fear’ that $ 50 million dollar business owners don’t have a life….or they die young of health problems… so I still hold back. :(
2. How many constraints away are you from having the business and the life of your dreams? I believe this is the biggest one Rich. I don’t expect someone to spoon feed me, I don’t believe my website is an ATM, I am not following a delusion that I won’t have to work to make millions and I’m not buying into the crap-mentality that only lucky people can do this. So I truly believe this is my biggest constraint. This is the one.
3. What are the three greatest benefits you’ll enjoy once those constraints are removed? I will be able to help anyone I want, be able to go anywhere I want in the world.. but more importantly, the biggest benefit will be the self respect that I finally FINALLY did what I was created for. I know that sounds ‘hypey’ but it is my sincere belief that I was designed to own a huge empire and the fear that I’d lose my life or my health in the process has held me back. As I go forward writing my story in a book and training course ( overcame disease,debt and depression!) and I work as the Marketing CEO of a direct marketing company I know that when I finally cross this hurdle NOTHING will ever EVER stand in my way again.
Man, I’d be honored to be the one who received your courses. Bless you Rich.
I feel that my biggest constraint is fear of not performing the right action, fear of wasting my time. And never having enough time, I have a full job working 40 hours a week.
I will start in a direction and then find information pointing in a new, and maybe better direction, switch and then do it all over again, never sticking with what I have started, kind of like information overload.
Everytime something new comes along, there seems to be steps missing or they will tell you to do certain things, not knowing what they are talking about. Of course this is a newbie speaking.
Thanks for the opportunity.

What is your single greatest constraint?
I would have to say my biggest constraint is the military. Although I love the military, my dedication to country and core haven’t exactly gave me the lifestyle that I “think” I deserve. I want nothing more than to serve for my country and help those in need. It’s the same scenerio in business, help others and you will be rewarded for your hard work. I have deployed to Iraq several times now, and haven’t had much time to focus on building a business. I come back to reality once I leave from trying to secure our freedom, and I’m right back to financial hardship.
2. How many constraints away are you from having the business and the life of your dreams?
I would say just the military. I feel that I have sacrifice my life and it’s time to take care of my family and I/ I have been in the military for 11 years now.
3. What are the three greatest benefits you’ll enjoy once those constraints are removed?
Having the ability to help and teach others. I belieeve one of the greatest feelings is helping others and of course seeing money flowing into your bank account. I have the dedication, drive, and determination. Having this type of guidance and mentorship will definitely be priceless. I’m used to following orders, so following a step by step method would be least of our problems.
Vacations!! I would love to take a vacation somewhere rather than Iraq! It’s definitely a vacation, but I’m don’t look forward to that every year. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
Always Motivated,
Ken
1. Do you know what your single greatest constraint is right now?
Constraint #1: Mindset issues
I have lots of great ideas, get excited about them (to the point of not being able to sleep), but soon start convincing myself why they wouldn’t work. The few times I’ve actually followed through, I’ve done quite well.
2. How many constraints away are you from having the business and the life of your dreams?
One. If I can get out of my own way, it would be like a dam bursting. The energy to push forward would be truly unstoppable.
3. What are the three greatest benefits you’ll enjoy once those constraints are removed?
1. Never having to fret about feeding my family and caring for them properly in the future.
2. Being able to help others get over their mindset issues.
3. Contributing positively to the world. (That may sound like a cliche, but that is honestly my biggest driver.)
Gratefully,
Alasdair
1. Do you know what your single greatest constraint is right now? If so, what is it?
Money and Fear of Loss
2. How many constraints away are you from having the business and the life of your dreams?
Not many I am saving my cash to pay for a mentoring program by an online marketing guru like yourself. Plus my basic web skills are low.
3. What are the three greatest benefits you’ll enjoy once those constraints are removed?
Financial freedom and validation that my time hasn’t been wasted on a dream.
Hi Rich,
Awesome report and analysis!
1. My single greatest constraint right now is finding others
who think “outside the box” have an open mind about making
money online or starting a business and taking action..I have
family and friends who don’t have a maverick type mentality
and don’t want to change their financial situation..I want to
associate with like-minded individuals who desire to change
their way of thinking to be able to create generational wealth.
I feel like I’m alone in my thinking.
2. I believe that I’m 2 constraints away from achieving success
money+having a partner or team with a positive attitude, go
getter, take action type individuals who want to achieve
generational wealth, thinking big!
3. Develop innovative strategies for the future and build
generational wealth for my children and their children.
Keep the legacy going on and on will make me very happy
and give back to others by sharing my genuine success.

Hi Everyone:
I am commenting because I saw Jay Abraham on the banner. I have followed Jay, Corey Rudel and of course Rich and a few others over the years. Read the questions carefully. They are simple but have complex answers. I look forward to seeing and hearing about the winner of this great opportunity. I would like to see how they are doing in one year. It’s almost like winning the lottery.
It’s about the build of excitement that your journey offers you when you see results from your efforts. It not only benefits you but your customer (they are the ones who fatten your wallet and make your new life better). It is also about how you can build a circle of like minded JV partners who know that by bringing others under their wing, confidence rises and everyone benefits.
Ideas come at you 24/7. You won’t be able to sleep. Then you have created your own information overload. That is why a decisive plan and guidance is so important to follow. Something that almost all successful internet marketers don’t teach you. How to stay focused. Your excitement becomes your drive and not your confusion. Then and only then can you fulfill your benefits.
I have been fortunate that brick and mortar business has done well for me as well as some internet ventures. The internet is a monstrous sea of opportunity that you have to learn to navigate or you will be the next sunken ship, unless you have an experienced captain on board like Rich and Jay.
Good luck to you all.

Do you know what your single greatest constraint is right now?
Absolutely… I’m flighty when it comes to my home business. There are so many oportunities out on the net… good and bad… I just keep thinking, “If I could only find the right one, then my life would FINALLY change!” What a bunch of BS… yet, I still can’t seem to just focus on one opportunity and take it all the way.
How many constraints away are you from having the business and the life of your dreams? Seven… exactly seven.
What are the three greatest benefits you’ll enjoy once those constraints are removed?
I will be able to put to practice your “optimum performance” schedule: Prime Project day, Preparation and Commitment day, and Relaxation and Recuperation day. Of course there are a lot of things I could add as “sub-listed” items… but, I think this is sufficient. (Obviously, if I can do this… then, all that is evidence that all else is right in place… RIGHT IN PLACE! You can’t ask any more than that.
Do you know what your single greatest constraint is right now? If so, what is it?
One pro-active, verifiable investor.
How many constraints away are you from having the business and the life of your dreams?
One.
What are the three greatest benefits you’ll enjoy once those constraints are removed?
Being with my child, sharing the rewards and journey with him and others, being able to show others how to accomplish the same or their highest desires for themselves.

Hi Rich,
Okay, number one greatest constraint is: Not knowing my number one greatest constraint. I have a few in mind but not so sure which to work on first.
How many constraints away from having the business and life of my dreams? After attending Yanik’s Underground 4, my business has done very well, that being said, I’m pretty stoked with moving forward. I’d say mastering the “7 silver bullets” would get me that Aston Martin V12 Vanquish.
The three greatest benefits I’d enjoy would have to be: 1.) Time, to develop other online businesses and also join Yanik on a few of his Maverick business adventures. (I dig adrenaline) 2.) Cash, which is a lot like time plus some material toys mixed in 3.) Contributing to worthy Charities, which is a great use of both time and cash.
Cheers!
My only constraint is allowing myself even a fraction of a second to think I have any at all…………..
Do you know what your single greatest constraint is right now? If so, what is it?
I am not sure. The desire level is there, but I’m missing the network to get my product to market. This, according to your paper is a symtom, but it is as close as I can get now.
How many constraints away are you from having the business and the life of your dreams?
I suspect no more than three.
What are the three greatest benefits you’ll enjoy once those constraints are removed?
Everyday doing what I love and making thousands of dollars a day. The most important, I’d be inpacting millions of lives with more light and understanding.
1. Do you know what your single greatest constraint is right now? If so, what is it?
Entering a Forty billion dollar a year industry and not knowing where to start in bridging the business opportunity field with the “real market”.
How many constraints away are you from having the business and the life of your dreams?
Three - money fear and myself.
What are the three greatest benefits you’ll enjoy once those constraints are removed?
The mission statement that I have carried since 1996, that if I was to leave this earth tomorrow, I don’t want to leave behind regrets or what if’s.
Hi Rich,
My number 1 constraint is knowing the steps, what do I do to generate traffic, what products to promote, how to develop my own product.
I need direction, and peace of mind with the ability to produce and income. I do know my greatest assest.
I need a coach, I would love to learn deal making for JV. Thanks for the opporunity.

1. Do you know what your single greatest constraint is right now? If so, what is it? Focus, I have taken myself from doing too many things to make $$$ down to two (incredible progress for me) One that pays the bills and one that will pay the bills in 6 months.
2. How many constraints away are you from having the business and the life of your dreams? Just one, Jumping off the cliff so I can really push towards the 2nd task that I KNOW will take me through the glass ceiling. I have the capability and just need to kick myself in the pants.
3. What are the three greatest benefits you’ll enjoy once those constraints are removed? Financial independence, The time for enjoying my family and my Health so that I can pass this along to my 5 boys.
1) After years of failure and struggle, the biggest constraint is actually understanding where my biggest constraint is and what to actually focus on vs just walking around and stumbling in the dark and doing things the hard way.
Like they day in indiana jones 4 “knowledge is power”
2)To be honest, I’m probably 3-4 constraints of having all I want. First one would be myself health and self-beliefs and the other one would be leveraging other people money/resources to rocket myself in the right direction and bootstrapping everything to limit risks; fail fast.
3) Being able to make difference in the world helping out my friends and family instead of them always helping me.
My single greatest constraint?
Finishing what I started … I’m the classic techno entrepreneur … too many great ideas, not enough focus on the finish line
How many constraints away am I?
Two .. Deciding which project to finish, and finishing it
The 3 Greatest Benefits?
Create more passive income streams
Spend more time with my Family (It sounds cliche but only because it’s so often the case)
My wife will be able to quit her job without concern for our future which would make me very happy.

#1 - I have no idea what my main constraint is. I do know that I have been selling four years and have sales of $3.98 in 2008.
#2 - Plenty, I should imagine. In life, as one door opens another one closes.
I keep going, losing money every day, just waiting for my luck to change.
#3 - No idea. I have never imagined it possible to make more than a couple of hundred a month online - even if you were the very best.
I look at the massive sums being tossed around and don’t believe a word of them.
My number one biggest constraint would be teachers don’t want to teach me so I have to work it out for myself and this takes time and struggle but I will get there, one day!
My desired life is just around the corner….I just gotta learn a few more things …get a little support and all will be rosey. This has been constant as long as I can remember!
What it will look like once I leave the baggage behind… My alternative therapy business will be structured and located in the financial districts throughout Australia with everybody knowing my brand. I will have built a business around women’s health targeting their desires and beautification (an internet business). And I will have my dream home that’s currently owned by a beer tycoon worth approximately 12 million and sits on 5 acres looking out over a point and the address is No…. Cabar….a, A…n , 21….., N……Australia. I will then have a family and spend my life devoted to internal exercises building a unique schooling system for kids and running my businesses. …This will make me a very happy man and if I was to leave this earth I could say I did my bit and am proud of it!
Thank you for all your reports Rich, I have learned so much, also thank you for answering my questions on your 24 hour talk back.
Sincerely
Scott
Hello Rich,
Here are my responses to your questions.
1. Do you know what your single greatest constraint is right now? If so, what is it?
The single greatest constraint I have is time. I have very limited time for action. Most of the time I find myself buying new ebooks, listening to audios and watching videos that I find it extremely difficult to take action because there is so much to do. To be bluntly honest, IM Gurus have done very little to help their customers in this aspect. They have to realise that not everyone has employees to do work, not everyone is a small business owner, not everyone has a product to sell. I can also bet my bottom dollars that many Internet Marketers need help in this matter. In fact, they know as much stuff as the so called “Gurus” but we all are frustrated with the amount of work that needs to be done to the time we have.
2. How many constraints away are you from having the business and the life of your dreams?
I would say two. Time management and process management are my two biggest constraints.
For example, say I want to work on a PPC Campaign to set up campaigns, the problem here is not the lack of knowledge but the time and the reources needed to get the things done. I know about quality score and relevance and ad copy and building landing pages and having tight adgroups and switching off content network to avoid burning up the budget etc, but how can I expedite the process?
It is delightful irony that we as Internet Marketers choose this path because we want to live life on our terms. But honestly are we? How many of us are taking time off for vacations, how many of us are exercising everyday and how many of us are spending quality time with our families? Living a life of our dreams does not merely mean money, it means more than that- the ability to do what you want to do when you want to do- this is priceless.
3. What are the three greatest benefits you’ll enjoy once those constraints are removed?
Freedom, quality time with family and expanding my business would be the greatest benefits I would be enjoying if my constraints are removed. I have undertaken many courses, read many ebooks and watched many videos that provide good content and value, but there is one thing that they fail at- “audience analysis.” Don’t generalize Internet Marketers- there are newbies, intermediates and even experts. But realize that even the so called experienced Internet Marketers who have been around for many years have not been able to realize their potential because they have a wealth of knowledge to share but are handicapped due to lack of vision, strategy and time.
Good Evening Rich & Team,
Matthew Detrick here. Before I read your Entrepreneuirial Emergency Report, I had no idea what in the heck my constratins was. I sat there day after day saying man, I know I know what to do and how to do it so why every time I dare something worthy do I leap back into the dark comfortable hole>?
Then I read your report.
I was not embracing the do it wrong fast mindset from silver bullet #1. My self esteem was below zero so it was frickin freezing over here even though we were in the heart of summer.
Silver bullet 4 also hit me in the head like a ton of bricks, coming from a track anf field background, I remembered visualizing my approach and jump right before takeoff to eventually become 2nd in conference my junior year of high school. (if I did track my senior year, I would have been #1… hence this begain a lifelong spiral ever since)
I am exactly 2 constraints away from experiencing total business success. I know what to do and how to do it, I need some positive reinforcement and I’ll be well on my way to helping others solve their problems with my info marketing worldclass copywriting business.
See, I get how much what I have between my ears will help others. Earlier today I received an email from a potential client yet again I stood in my own way, and bam… I demagnitized an otherwise magnetic relationship.
I recall my solid kick butt take names nothing can stand in my way attitude when I graduated Marine Corps boot camp by the skin of my teeth. I blew through some nasty ghosts to graduate an honorable marine.
That’s where the positive reinforcement comes in… Others around me excited about what they’re doing raising all our vibrations together.
I’m literally robbing and stealing from my potential clients their very freedom by allowing these constraints to stand in my way.
How miraculous will it be when these constraints are removed?
Wow Rich, I’ll be at peace, I’ll be able to help others on a much deeper healing level, I’ll be in alignment with the divine energy that is in all of us. The black ball of threaded energy ruminating between my eyes right now will be pulled thread by thread until a flow of white energy washes over my entire being.
That is what I call a miracle, wouldn’t you?
Something in my gut keeps telling me to share this with you so I will (I wrote this after receiving and watching all of Frank Kern’s mass control material)
This is what it’s all about when you help me remove my constraints, rip my business apart, and guide me in putting it back together.
If there were no limitations or no consequences, what would your perfect average day look like?
I live in CA near San Francisco overlooking the beach while waves break over the day. I live in a condo I picked up in an opportunistic real estate deal. The condo has a kitchen with an island in the center and lights, two of them, casting a warm glow over the island.
My condo has a living room with hardwood floors and a 42″ flat screen tv hanging above the fireplace. 3 other rooms make up the condo, a master bedroom with bathroom that has a shower/bathroom/closet big enough for two people, a guest bedroom of the same measure, and the third room is my office when I am home.
I wake up every morning in time to experience the sunrise, expressing my gratitude for an awe inspiring life. I think “life is beautiful” and I ask a higher power for guidance in helping others get what they want today.
I cheer when I leap out of bed while I slide Tom Cruise style over to my meditation area overlooking the beach/waves. 8oz. of water with lemon awaits me as I consume the life giving water invigorating my inner being.
I play uplifting music when I get ready for my day, which contributes to my excitement for life.
I slide over to my entertainment center and play Baroque music to stimulate my brain, infusing my soul with excitement. I walk out on my balcony and smile ear to ear in complete contentedness.
I eat healthy yummy food for optimal energy/well being my nutritionist recommended. I eat breakfast on my balcony as I watch the day begin.
After breakfast, I look at my plan for the day and schedule revenue generating activities I enjoy doing during my peak hours of the day. I check the report my assistants created for me with yesterday’s results, today’s pro forma, and how that will affect tomorrow’s results.
I log into my laptop to confirm any healing appointments I have for the day and schedule a voice broadcast 1 hour before appointment time both to my client and to my phone.
I then create a video about something fun, which teaches my market how to do something to generate results.
I read about doubling my dating so I can use this stuff when I am out and about.
When lunch rolls around, I eat healthy yummy foods with my rockstar friends. They each either have their own business they are passionate about, or they work in a job they are passionate about, they all smile a lot, are grateful for their life, for me, I for them, we connect spiritually and our souls dance every time we meet up.
They love music, and a few of them are DJ’s, too. We talk about what we are grateful for, what excites us, and we contribute to each other’s beautiful laughter.
My healing clients are fun people who I enjoy being around. Any whiny clients, I politely outrageously explain to them I’m unable to work with them if they bring me grief of come in without an open mind. NLP & Qigong are after all, unconventional ways of healing.
After healing appointments I perform my revenue generating activities for the day and follow up on projects I have outsourced to my team of kick azzedness. After revenue generation I check in with my assistants, reflect on our accomplishments for the day, tell them I am grateful for them, contribute to their laughter, and wish them well.
I either eat dinner in or out with friends, which again consists of healthy yummy food.
I read an inspiring book after dinner to fulfill my growth. After reading and contributing to my lifelong learning, I prepare for bed. I take a quick shower, put on loose clothes and sit in my meditation area to give thanks and express my gratitude for the day. I let go of any negative words spoken over me that day, look inside myself to love me unconditionally. I ask myself the question of what is on my get to do list for tomorrow, wait for my brain to give me the answer and write my get to do list. I turn on either a success cd or baroque music to continually play throughout the night. Smiling and letting out a big belly laugh, I pull back the covers and slide into a refreshing nights sleep.
The last thought on my mind as I drift off to sleep is how I have made a positive impact, who I helped today, and how grateful I am to attract a rockstar life in which I fulfill the mission every day.
Thank you for listening.
Be well, laugh often, and smile for no reason.
Hi Rich,
Thanks for all the great material you have been giving away to us struggling marketers over the past year or two. I am a Dutch HR business consultant and interim manager. During the past few years I have been studying till I saw blue in the face to make a succes of my online ventures. Because I would much rather do this than anything else.
I have been trying to set up a guided DIY hosting business targeted at selfemployed professionals, small businesses and clubs. This I found to be a very competitive market and I am trying my hardest to make it succeed. Starting of with investing in John Reeses Traffic Secrets (1.0) I have invested in anything I could (or couldn’t really) afford - including more than a year in Stompernet - to gather the knowledge to make it online.
The fact that I am a) not stupid and b) have all these great resources but still can’t make things work shows that my number one constraint is time. I lack the resources to outsource especially since I would have to pay Dutch rates, for my goal is to corner the Dutch market in the niche I described. And as a professional I know all about the theory of contstraints (yes Goldratt) and the all important time factor that you have been educating us about. But alas I don’t seem to be able to get a handle on it.
As Goldratt teaches us we should tackle one contstraint at a time moving from one to the next untill we solved all bottle necks. I would guess I am about 2 constraints away from my first goal of earning a decent online income to support my family of 5. More structure in my business so I can focus better on the things that matter, financial resources to be able to outsource so I can dedicate more time towards business development instead of being my own odd job man.
The biggest take aways of even modest success will be an enormous releave of stress, more fun and statisfaction in my work and more time to spend with my family.
I don’t think I will be able to overcome these restraints anytime soon if I don’t get some guidance of someone who really knows the online business. So Rich, make a name for yourself in the Netherlands and help put me on my feet :)
Hi Rich,
The main constraint:
Its hard to soar like an Eagle when you are surrounded by turkeys.
>I am literally a genius: IQ 99.7% (Its much less important than you think)
>I have abilities and talents that are powerful and rare i.e. strategic on the strengthsfinder (which both you and Jay obviously have), I wont include your weaknesses here;-)
>I have done things in the past that indicate greatness. For example, I actually implemented the Dell Computers same business model 6 years before Dell did; being a punk 16 year old at the time I didn’t realize the potential and the turkeys around me were clueless.
I dynamically respond to my immediate environment +1(slightly improved), my past and present environment was/is lacking. I’m nearly bankrupt and flying out to do a potentially multimillion dollar deal tomorrow. Why should there be such a schism?
Rather than answer the asked questions, I think its more productive to go to the bottom line:
Its obvious, to me, that you and Jay are lacking and prevented from making it to the next level.
If you are ready, I can help you get to the 100 million level.
The only real question is are you developed enough to take the next step?
K!
Hi Rich,
seeing you and your family on the 24hr video really woke me up. Something was niggling away under my skin and I didn’t know what it was.
Until now…
I had a critical moment of waking up and opening my eyes to my greatest constraint. The fear of really SEEING things as they are and being SEEN by others to stand up and say “enough”.
That is what I see you doing over and over in your reports. Now I know why it is so powerful.
There may be other constraints lurking behind this, but actually I know it is the core one for me.
Once it is blown away I know that I can transform the coaching industry itself. Bringing Action and Joy to my life and the lives of those I coach and who go on to become Adventure Coaches.
Bring it on..
1. Do you know what your single greatest constraint is right now? If so, what is it?
My single greatest constraint is being a perfectionist. I am determined to spend less time perfecting things. I want to explode my business in the next 12 months and perfection will not get me there.
2. How many constraints away are you from having the business and the life of your dreams?
I would say I am three constraints away from the life of my dreams. The first is that all mistakes must be avoided. I do not want to fail, but I know that is not possible so I am determined to make as many mistakes as possible to move forward quickly.
My second constraint is an inefficient workstyle. I do not have a system for being efficient in my work and I need to kick it into gear to get more done in less time.
My third constraint is being alone in a networked world. I am new to internet marketing and I want to meet as many players as possible. I believe in helping other people and doing so I will help myself.
3. What are the three greatest benefits you’ll enjoy once those constraints are removed?
I would be able to help other people with my increased amount of free time
I would be free of financial worry in this economic downturn.
I would be able to build businesses faster than I ever thought possible.
1. My Greatest Constraint is wanting to have control over everything. I’m a programmer so I want to design the page, code a back end and do the books. I need to let go and set up systems to make things quicker and easier.
2. I’m just starting out so I’m sure there are many constraints to overcome, but I’m going to attack them head on.
3.I want to sleep soundly knowing that I will always have enough money. I want to pay off my house. I want to be able to give to others without financial restraint. I also want a few toys here and there. :-)
What is my single greatest constraint?
Hard time putting ingredients of a query or actual letter together.
Too much mental overload, usually ending with me doing my own version of a good letter. (not turning out well.)
How many constraints away from having my own business and the life of my dreams?
Many. I live by myself, wash my own clothes, iron them, cook my own meals, shop for myself, clean my condo, wash dishes…all the chores of housework a woman has to do. When I arrive at that life of my dreams, I can afford to hire someone to do at least part of them.
What are the three greatest benefits I will enjoy once the constraints are removed.
More time to spend on getting out a good or even perfect letter, more time to do some gym time, time to join the local dance group, Time to attend more church functions, and maybe even your boot camp should you have one. Cheers!
Don’t know why I enter these contests…like the guy above, I never win anything. Waste of time? Or maybe good practice?
