Yeah, I went there with the Jetsons reference. And no, I’m not going to announce the addition of the Spacely Sprockets to the Strategic Profits family…
But I wanted to get your attention. Because not long ago, I took a good hard look at my business. And I didn’t like what I saw.
Let me explain…
About a year ago, I decided to take a step back and do a quick assessment of Strategic Profits.
And at that time, things were going pretty well. With the help of my mentor, Jay Abraham, and a crack team of specialists, I had built this company from nothing into a multi-million dollar marketing and business building powerhouse .
So money was coming in at a steady clip, our reputation was stellar in the marketplace, and the future looked very bright.
Which meant the overall picture was very positive, right?
WRONG!
Upon further inspection, I saw that we weren’t growing nearly as fast as I wanted to.
Even though things were going good, I really wanted to take things to the next level, a level that we had never experienced before.
I kinda felt like George Jetson on that crazy treadmill. Doing a lot of running in the right direction, but not getting where I wanted to go.
So I did what I always do when I need sound advice and wisdom: I went to see Jay Abraham and did my George Jetson impersonation:
“How do I get OFF this thing?”
Jay just smiled like he always does, and said something so profound that it changed my business perspective forever:
“Rich,” he said, “I can give you my insight on which direction you should go. But I think you should also get a second opinion. And a third. And maybe even a fourth.”
Huh?
“Listen,” he continued. “You’re at a crossroads in your business, and the next step you take will be crucial. So you need to gather input from a variety of different sources to give you an enhanced view of your current status–and a clearer picture of where to go.”
Now, Jay ’s never steered me wrong about thing like this. So for the next several months, that’s exactly what I did.
I dove into dozens of books, audios, and videos from over 50 of the world’s most highly respected and successful business people
My goal was simple: To get to the next level in my business and continue the record-breaking growth we had experienced.
What I discovered was INCREDIBLE. There were so many amazing viewpoints and ideas…strategies I would have never considered before…tactics that were mind-blowingly simple, yet profitable beyond anything we could have ever dreamed of…and new twists to current ideologies that opened up a world of possibilities.
I took all of this explosive information and started connecting the dots, putting together an aggressive growth plan that would take Strategic Profits into the next decade.
Slowly, we began climbing the mountain once again. Step by step, our team took action and implemented the new techniques that had been revealed to us by these masterminds.
That was about 8 months ago. And today, we’re seeing the fruits of that labor.
We’re poised to have one of our biggest years yet, while my workload is less than half of what it used to be.
Which means more time for me, for Deb, for the girls, and for the things I love doing most. And that’s what it’s REALLY all about.
So what’s the moral of this story?
Simple. It wasn’t until I started seeking the business advice of MANY (rather than the business advice of one) that all these monumental insights were handed down to me.
If I had just stuck with one viewpoint, I would have never been exposed to the multiple perceptions of others. And I wouldn’t have seen the unending possibilities–and the tremendous profit opportunities–that were available to me.
But by tapping into their vast areas of expertise, I was able to view things with a perspective I would have never experienced before.
Sounds pretty cool, doesn’t it?
Well get ready…because over the next few days, I’m going to reveal exactly how you too can leverage the credibility and influence of the same world-famous business advisors that I did.
It’s called the “League of Extraordinary Minds”, and it’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen before (or will ever seen again).
So keep an eye on your inbox. Because we’re about to make business history.
To Higher Profits,
Rich




As i'm writing this we have received a whopping 723 replies. That's a tremendous response, and we thank you for it.
And when we began poring over your answers, a few things popped out at me...
--I was FLOORED by how many people were having the very same problems. And the most incredible part was, it didn't matter whether they were newbies or internet marketing veterans--they were STILL having the same issues. Just think about that and keep it in mind for now.
--I was also amazed at how many people are working harder than ever, yet still seeing little or no results. They're spending more of their time working on their business--sacrificing the important things in life like family--yet not getting near the return on their investment they expected.
And finally, one thing became perfectly clear.
I was right.
(Note to self: print out this blog post and show to Debi. I don't get to say this around her very often.)
It's obvious that many of you struggle with a plethora of issues. And I know for a fact that they've been responsible for the demise for hundreds--if not thousands--of promising businesses.
But I DO NOT want you to be another casualty. So here's what we're going to do...
I swear, you'd think this was the WWE instead of a marketing business (was that a chair that just went flying over my head?).
Seriously though, we did have a major rift in the office this week. And here's what's happened...
We were THIS close to releasing the new report. All the graphics were done, the formatting finished, and it looked fantastic.
The only thing left to do was cut it down to a more manageable size (if you recall, my first draft came in at over 300 pages). So I got the team together and the editors and asked them one question:
"What goes and what stays?"
We started poring through the report, line by line, and discussing how and where to trim it down.
And that's where the trouble started.
Everyone had a different opinion. Some wanted certain sections left in, while others felt that they only hindered the main message. Still the editors thought most--if not all--of the content should be left as is.
And as we went on, it was blatantly apparent that nobody wanted to give in. Discussions became more and more heated. The fur started to fly. I even had to separate a couple of team members before they came to blows.
It was ugly. And I mean UGLY.
Like, why not put out all 300 pages right? That's what some want because they felt it was so good.
I will explain why not soon.
Then, like a ray of sunshine through the dark clouds, a single voice spoke up:
"Why don't we let our readers decide?"
It was Kristen, one of our newest (and quietest) employees at Strategic Profits.
Kristen is the voice you hear when you call our offices. She hadn't said two words throughout the entire debacle until just now. But when she did, they were pure GOLD.
We instantly stopped arguing, looked shamefully at each other, and collectively thought the same thing:
"DUH!"
So long story short, we're putting the editing job into your hands. We want to know what YOU want to know. And here's how it works.
