      TGIF - Wow, I Am Really Happy It’s Friday

      Published in General

    • Was that a crazy ride or what?

      It’s 12:30am, twelve and a half hours since we closed admission to my coaching program. I am still receiving requests to get in (we’ve been getting them all day) and the answer unfortunately is no. It’s not that we don’t have the room, but my staff and I have our hands full right now, and I would rather spend my time focusing on my clients. Also, I learned a long time ago that your word is very important - and I intend to keep mine. A deadline is a deadline.

      To all my new clients - You will be hearing from me very shortly, and I am very excited to get started, I believe that you will see more of this group go on to bigger and better ventures then any other group I have worked with.

      To all of you who couldn’t take part, I plan on releasing more free content for you, and in the very near future I will be sending out a link to a survey asking what it is you would like from me and what you would be willing to pay for it. If I get some good ideas that don’t diminish the value of what I am providing my clients and doesn’t require an inordinate amount of my time then I will certainly entertain it.

      I had a meeting today with the group over at Agora, and I’ve got some awesome stuff planned that I am sure you are all going to flip out over. It’s not a 100% certain yet, but I might be doing a series of calls with some of the business people I respect and
      have learned the most from. If it ends up happening… you’ll be the first to know.

      I need to get back to work right now - but I wanted to say thank you to everyone, it’s a humbling experience to see so many people moved by my work. I certainly want to give more too, and I will. But first I must attend to all my new clients and bring them into the fold.

      Keep posting here too - I read every comment, some I respond to by email, some I chose to ignore, and some bring a smile to my face and let me know that all my hard work is worth it.

      Good night all - and have a great weekend, and be on the lookout for my survey, I am sure we’ll put it out sometime next week.

      Rich

      PS - Did you see the video from the winner of the free hour with me? I gave him some suggestions that i know will multiply his short term and long term profits but his video testimonial is really over the top. I actually thought about sending it back to him and asking if he wouldn’t mind toning it down a little, but I asked a few people to tell me what they thought and they said you could tell he’s being genuine. I know he is - so I posted it (previous entry). What do you think?

      Thanks Rich for touching on a nerve in the internet business world and identifying a demand for your level of help. As websites, ppc, seo, mfa, cpa, etc. become commoditized I expect we will see more strategic thinking taking hold in the internet marketing space. Thanks for pioneering this discussion and I hope we see more of you around and not less.

      Rich, Thank you genuinely for all the content you posted for us and the advice you have given. I was not able to join your team this time and believe me it will leave me feeling at a loss for quite a while. I watched the video again tonight online and can’t begin to express my appreciation and also my regret that I missed the deadline for this opportunity, but I won’t ever view my work on the internet the same again.

      Rich, regarding your request for info on potential piggy-back” products.

      Here’s a question.

      How can you get the best people to work with you without paying them upfront? What models work?

      That’s a strategic question I’d be willing to pay for excellent advice on.

      How can I get it answered? Well, I’m an SBI-er, and I’ll certainly ask on the forums there. Maybe you could open up your forum? For example, I’d be interested in being in a “selected audience” to passively observe your forum discussions. Active participation might not work, because I wouldn’t have your materials to work from.

      One thing I like about your work is that you reduce processes to graphics. That brings up another thing I would likely pay for: just send me the graphics from your PPT presentations. Not the slides, not the steps, just the maps themselves. I could likely take it from there.

      Thanks for the info, and best of luck to all of the participants!

      Enjoy the ride, and don’t forget to drive!

      Best,
      Dainis

      Rich;

      It’s nice that people actually recognize quality when they see it. Especially given the information overload out here in the real world.

      Quality always manages to shine through the hype and BS of the countless ‘get rich quick’ offers I receive daily.

      Looking forward to working with you.

      At age 22, Rich's very first business involved taking over a failing clothing store, which at that time, was doing 1.5 million dollars in sales (even though the breakeven was a whopping $3 million!) Within three years, the store was cranking in well over $6.5 million - with 25% of it dropping directly to the bottom line!
