This past weekend was really difficult for me.

It was a real roller-coaster of emotions. I’ve never had a single event haunt me both positively and negatively at the same time.

And the success of my new program GPS (Guided Profit System) is to blame.

You see, on the one hand I was ecstatic, we hit our projections faster than we thought possible… and the emails I’ve been receiving from my newest clients have me raring to go.

But the other part of me, felt terrible. Because we’ve never received so many emails and phone calls from entrepreneurs who knew the value of GPS, but couldn’t enroll.

And that hurts a lot more than you might think. Because the issue of overcoming constraints hit closer to home with more entrepreneurs worldwide than practically anything else I’ve ever done. And the heartfelt responses I received have moved me tremendously.

The very same men and women I’ve committed my entire professional life to, couldn’t access what both they and I were certain would be the pivot point in their lives.

For some the price was simply outside of their reach, even though we had already sharpened our pencils and were offering my coaching for less than it’s ever been offered.

For others the intensity of the coaching program was scary. They were afraid the pace would be too fast, and the time commitment too big for them to handle.

But what was most disturbing was that each one came from a stressed and struggling online entrepreneur who knew their business and their lives would instantly improve by eliminating the constraints blocking their path.

And all were imploring me to give them another option.

Entreperneurs like:

• Scott J – who difficulty outsourcing was keeping him from spending quality time with his family…
• Sheila R – who knew she was only one constraint away from paying off her debts, and seeing the concern of her husband and daughter replaced with the smile that financial security can bring…
• Mike C – who was losing faith about his ability to be successful online but had nowhere else to turn.
• Kim S – who knew she was just two constraints away from turning the tables on her friends and relatives…stated more simply… she’d finally be able to help them instead of always being on the receiving end.

So there is the dilemma I struggled with, lost sleep over, and felt conflicted about.

These entrepreneurs wanted my coaching program, believed I had the answers that were eluding them, and were certain their lives and business would immediately improve.

Stop and think for a second, what would you do if you were me?

If you know me at all, if you’ve read my free reports, watched me on video, or read some of my posts on this blog - you know I care very deeply about everyone who takes the entrepreneurial plunge. And I do my very best to help each and every person I can.

Listen, what I am about to do…

I am doing for Scott J, who wrote me Thursday night… I’m doing this for Sheila R, who called our offices Friday morning… I’m doing this for Mike C…. who got his message to me through customer support

And I am doing this for you.

Because if you are committed to a better outcome, a better business, ultimately a better life for you and your family then I’m committed to do whatever it takes to get you there.

That’s why I canceled my trip to Chicago this past weekend, and hunkered down with my team to come up with a creative solution for you. And that’s exactly what we did.

The best part of it is, what we came up with is a real breakthrough that’ll benefit both the entrepreneurs who contacted us over the past few days, the many who kept their disappointment to themselves, and those who were lucky enough to already get in.

So let’s get into the details…

First of all, if you are already a GPS client: Congratulations, today is your lucky day!

You’ll still receive my daily coaching, the interactive streaming Q+A session available twice a day, and everything else promised you.

But now, you’re also getting lots more. You’ll get access to a private seminar, six months of ongoing support, a physical copy of the entire program, an entire learning acceleration seminar I put on last year, plus many other additions to fast track your success.

With these outstanding additions, your program will now be called “GPS Elite”.

Secondly, if you were one of those entrepreneurs who contacted our office, or find yourself in a similar situation… we’ve got a new and improved option for you.

We call this new option GPS Silver. You’ll get the same incredible constraint eliminating content, only it’ll be delivered over a longer stretch of six months, with some of the bells and whistles removed.

Yes, you’ll have less personal access to me, but we’ve designed it in a way where you’ll still have every opportunity to get your questions answered.

I’m very confident, whether you are in the Silver or Elite programs you’ll achieve and receive a mammoth breakthrough…a breakthrough so monumental in your life and your business I can’t begin to describe the difference it’ll make.

And it all happens tomorrow Tuesday, September 30th at 3pm (eastern time). If you’re interested please don’t delay because when I informed my partners that we created a less expensive option – many cleared their mailing calendar so they could alert their subscribers.

In fact, we’ve had so much excitement from our partners I think the online marketing world may erupt with an explosive flurry of email activity without rival. That’s why it only seems fair to me to give you the heads up now.

But please remember this…

No matter which option you choose, the weight is all on my shoulders here—not yours. Meaning, if you’ve ever been frustrated, disappointed, disillusioned, or just plain deceived, this time you’re guaranteed a happier ending - because you won’t take the hit—I will.

The only thing I ask of you is to have faith. Faith in yourself to follow and do your part and know that success is within reach, the other is faith in me to have your best interests in heart.

So, tomorrow at 3pm (eastern) I invite you to – if nothing else, to open your mind, and consider your options. There is no one else out there that’ll walk you step by step through the minefields of online marketing and business building like I’m prepared to.

Just put your faith in yourself, in me and in my track record for a short while and the rest will be up to me.

Tomorrow, I’ll give you an overview what I have in mind for us… You’ll see the process we’ll undertake together, the impact it can have and the outcome I know it’ll produce.

Oh yes, one more thing before I go, just so we’re clear…

I’m not offering a business in box, a business opportunity, or a deal where I promise you that we'll do all the work. So please don’t sign up unless you’re committed.

I cannot do it all for you, sure I can shorten your timeline, wipe away any confusion or uncertainty you’re experiencing, help you eradicate the constraints standing in your way, and show you the fastest path to success possible. But I can’t do it all.

However, if you’re willing, then hitch your wagon to mine and join me for the most profitable adventure of your lifetime.

To higher profits,
Rich Schefren

P.S. I know you probably have questions. And that’s perfectly natural. So below are links to 2 previous blog posts where I answer a LOT of questions about the GPS program, about overcoming constraints, and about how you can finally achieve the success, wealth, and freedom you deserve so much.

Make sure you look these over carefully. Because chances are I’ve already answered any question you might have. Have a look:

The call we did earlier this week was phenomenal. We had more people register, more people listening in, and more people commenting on it than any other call we've ever done.

But what's even more satisfying than setting new records is the fact that you obviously got a lot of valuable, life-changing content from this.

Because the comments we've received so far are blowing us away. Here's a few...

"Massive value is an understatement in regards to the information you shared with us..." -- Chaney Alulis

"Stunned. At the end, it even brought a few tears, that I thought I was beyond." -- Bruce Brodeen

"For the first time it provoked me to think effectively what is really holding me back." -- Dr. Kazi Anam

"Anyone who is serious about success in online marketing would do well to listen.." -- Roger Johnson

"I can't wait to see what you unveil later in September!" -- R. Newhart

(hang on--we'll get to that in a moment)

Now, we appreciate the fact that this call really opened the eyes of thousands of entrepreneurs, and we're grateful for the chance to bring it to you.

But there's something that I'm grateful for even MORE...

In reading your comments, I can see that your truly GETTING IT.

Stated more clearly, you get the fact that:

• my guru clients have struggled with the same stumbling blocks you now need to overcome...

• your mindset matters and getting the right mentor is critical to side-stepping the land mines in your path

• fast growth involves identifying and eliminating the one core constraint currently holding both you and your biz back...

• your strengths determine your potential, but your constraint determines your level of success...

• most entrepreneurs spend the majority of their time achieving false-efficencies which have little impact on your success...

Believe or not, writing those past five sentences gives me goosebumps, because I know your now getting on the same path my biggest success stories have traveled on...

Because as a teacher, mentor, trainer, and coach, I know what happens to entrepreneurs who don't know those five facts. I've seen thousands of online entrepreneurs thrash around in the same nasty (opportunity-seeker) pit for years on end...

They pursue success as if it were a race... and end up spinning their wheels in a desperate attempt to track down the "magic pill" that promises some mysterious shortcut to be an 'instant-winner', and we both know where that leads (nowhere)...

No matter how hard they work or how much they spend, they never realize success can be so much simpler if they stopped looking outside and started looking inside to determine the single constraint holding them back. The one thing guaranteed to give the fastest, and biggest payoff.

In other words, they never GET IT.

But with Monday's call (and the replays), I'm ecstatic that my guru clients were able to pull back the curtain and shed some light on your situation.

And now, you're ready to take that next big step on your way to the success you've been seeking.

So where do we go from here?

Up, my friends. Further and farther up.

If you're ready to proceed on your journey to a higher level of awareness (with even higher profits) and a better understanding of how you can leverage the very same tools I've used to skyrocket businesses in record time (while the entrepreneur slashes their work hours), then I've got something you'll want to hear...

On this page, I've loaded up 3 case studies from the archives. These coaching clients were once struggling like many of you who commented on my blog...but their success skyrocketed in record time (you'll get the complete inside story how). And check this out: all three of these entrepreneurial success stories continue on to this day, meaning the phenomenal success documented kept going and going (like the energizer bunny) dwarfing the already incredible results they had achieved.

Meaning, sustainable success - a fast growing business - along with a lifestyle that allows these entrepreneurs the ability to enjoy it.

You'll hear from:

• Jim Edwards. Jim came to me exhausted and completely overworked. In fact, he was very close to quitting the internet business entirely. Find out how Jim pulled himself out of this hole here...


• Mike Filsaime. You heard from Mike on the call, but we only scratched the surface of the whole story. Mike's profits multiplied over TEN TIMES after we made some simple changes in his business. Learn what they were here...


• Hans and Dani Johnson: This husband-and-wife team had everything--a thriving business, a growing family, and a bright future. But after seeing one my presentations, they realized the single critical element that was missing. See what that was here...

Consider Monday's call 'Internet-Success 101' where you got a quick overview on some very important concepts (IF YOU HAVEN'T LISTENED TO MONDAY'S CALL CLICK HERE FIRST)

Now it's time for 'Internet Success 102' - we'll take the same issues we touched on in the call, and go even deeper. giving you a better perspective on how to really build a profitable business that delivers the freedom and wealth you desire.

And right now, they're yours for the taking.

So if you're ready to take your understanding and your business up a another notch or two...

Go there right now and soak it in.

I promise you--there'll be no chanting or incense. Just profoundly profitable advice

To Higher Profits,
Rich

P.S. BTW...I've already started getting questions about the coaching program I mentioned on the call. Don't worry I'll have more to share soon. But right now, with the record number of entrepreneurs listening to the conference call and even more reserving their priority copy of my next report (you can reserve your free copy here) I'd rather focus on you and what you and your business needs first.

But make sure to mark your calendar on Wednesday, September 17th, because that's when the you'll get your copy of my next report (if you've opted-into the priority list here) So, start getting ready to grow your business and reclaim your life, because it's all going to get a lot easier real soon.

More to come on that...so stay tuned.

And don't forget--when you're finished listening to the case studies, come back and post your biggest takeaways here. (I was literally blown away by your comments on the last post... and it's making dig deep to give you more (lots more) - I'm a sucker for appreciation)

Can't wait to see them...

Whew...just trying to catch my breath after a whirlwind past couple of days...

As you may already know, I spent over 2 hours on the phone with a group of friends, business associates, and former coaching clients who are now world famous gurus.

And I'm proud to say that it was an unprecedented call for several different reasons--two of which I saw coming, and one of which was COMPLETELY unexpected.

Let me explain...

First of all, this call was completely the opposite of what most people expect on a teleseminar.

Usually, it's YOU with the problem and THEM offering a solution, right?

Well, in this case, we made a 180 degree turn--it was THEM with the problem instead of you. And it was my job to find out how they solved it.

My goal in this call was to delve into their biggest issues, going straight to the heart of the matter by simply asking each participant 4 quick questions:

• What was your biggest constraint to your business?
• How did you overcome that?
• What was the quantifiable results of your solution?
• What did you take away from it?

Then I moved on to the next guru in the queue. Which brings me to the second unprecedented occurrence...

A group of this magnitude and million-dollar firepower has never--EVER--been assembled for one call.

Usually, a couple of gurus will tag team on a call. And once in a while you'll see a third swoop in for a few minutes.

But THIRTEEN? At ONCE?

I mean, take a look at this lineup:

• Mike Filsaime
• Brad Fallon
• Jeff Walker
• Frank Kern
• Willie Crawford
• Joel Comm
• Liz Thompson
• John Carlton
• Yaro Starak
• Tellman Knudsen
• Michael Cheney
• Kevin Hogan

Pretty amazing, isn't it? But there they were, waiting patiently for their turn to spill their secrets.

And the answers they gave were MIND-BLOWING. For example...

Joel Comm revealed how playing to his strengths took him from a struggling one-man show to almost $10 million a year in profits...

Mike Filsaime talked about taking his $30,000 a month business and multiplying it by tenfold, hitting the $375,000 a month mark in less than a year by making one simple mindset shift (that you can easily implement today)...

Frank Kern recently got over a hump that plopped 2000 new customers into his lap in 65 minutes. And all came from one realization: "Your brain will lie to you." In the call, Frank hands you the warning signs to know if your brain is helping--or hurting--your business...

Brad Fallon shows us why his past business attempts all ended up going south, and how he discovered the key connection between strategy and execution that helped create not one--but two 8 figures-a-year businesses...

Tellman Knudson had a business plan that was flawed from the start. But once he and I focused on a single change in his strategy, Tellman turned a small coaching program into an $894,600 profit windfall...

Willie Crawford was trying to do everything himself (sound familiar?) and heading towards burnout. But after learning this secret technique, he began adding talented resources--and big time profits...

I floored Yaro Starak with my out-of-the-blue recommendation. But he reluctantly followed my lead and saw an immediate jump in his income. Get the whole story inside...

Fantastic stuff. And there's MANY more content-rich tidbits where those came from.

But as if that wasn't enough, now it gets even better...

Because you people decided to trump both of my accomplishments with something that completely took me by surprise.

See, we had scheduled the first call and we filled up those lines in a heartbeat.

"No biggie", we thought. "We'll just add a replay for those few hundred entrepreneurs who got shut out."

Those "few hundred"...seems almost comical to say that now--especially after what transpired next.

To put it bluntly, when the word went out about the replay, the floodgates didn't just open--they were BLOWN TO BITS.

If you saw my last Twitter post, you know I was up at 3:00 am last night, watching the registrations roll in at an average of 6-10 per minute.

That's up to 60 a minute, or 3600 an hour. At 3:00 am on a Monday night.

Yeah, that's what I thought too.

Needless to say, this was not only our biggest call ever...but by far the biggest call in the history of our industry.

But honestly, if it didn't do a thing for you...if it didn't help transform your mindset...if it didn't turn on the light and reveal the ugly, nasty thing that's holding you back from success...

Then it wasn't worth a dime.

So with that said, I want to know what you thought about this call....

Tell me everything--and I mean EVERYTHING. I want to know what you learned...when you had that "aha" moment...and how it's going to change your business.

And if I didn't deliver, then let me know that too.

Go ahead--fire with both barrels. I can take it.

In fact, feel free to post your comments below so everyone can see. I'll be monitoring them and chiming in from time to time, and you never know when I might shoot a message right back at you.

Sound good?

Great--thanks for joining me on the call, and I can't wait to see what your thoughts are...

To Higher Profits,

Rich

Recently on a Q+A call I was asked - why have so many of the internet marketing gurus switched to macs?

My Answer - Because they can, it's cooler (power of positioning), and the internet is moving more and more to multimedia and macs are simply superior when it comes to anything multimedia. Oh yeah, and lastly they are the most powerful computers on the market.

Along those lines, I've gotten several requests to see my setup so here it. It's an 8 core processor, with 16 gigs of RAM, and 3 X 30 inch monitors. Perfect for creating presentations!

Silly question, right?

Well, before you dismiss the question.... let me ask you this:

Q: What exactly is an entrepreneur?

um...ah...um... Yeah, I know... It was on the tip of your tongue.

The sad truth is - most online marketers can more accurately explain what a medical doctor is than an entrepreneur, even though they aspire to be one.

The fallout from this lack of clarity is the primary reason why so many wanna-be entrepreneurs end up broke, frustrated, and confused. More to the point... they end up opportunity-seekers, the polar opposite of strategic entrepreneurs.
