This presentation surfaces several of the concepts I think are VERY important when building a multimillion dollar business.
Please watch carefully, and ask yourself how the ideas can be applied to your business and your situation.
After selling out every single coaching spot in just 2 hours and 14 minutes, I've realized more people are looking to learn more about my strategies and tactics.
Now, I'm not EXACTLY sure what I'm going to do, but I know there must be some way to assist the THOUSANDS of people who desperately want help growing their business.
So if you're interested in the solution I come up with, then please fill out this form:
And register quickly, because the only way to make the process fair, it to use a first come, first served system.
I have a feeling this is going to be huge.
With that said, please leave your thoughts about this video below.

Rich,
I can’t believe how much I’ve learned from you in the past two weeks. All the stuff you’ve just given away from free has really got me thinking about how I conduct business.
Thanks for everything. I missed the coaching club launch, but I’ve signed up for your waiting list, so I hope I can get in on whatever you’re doing next!!!!
Thanks,
Mike
Rich’s advice on time management is critical - and this is compounded in importance when we live in internet time and can get so easily distracted by too many opportunities. I have been calling it internet ADD and it’s something we can cure with a little help.
Great video Rich. Keep it coming!
Thanks Rich, the stuff you go through in the video has been enough for me to improve my business in Mona Vie from Bronze level to Black Diamond.
To Your Health and Wealth, Keep up the GOOD work.

Great stuff. Can’t wait to see what you come up with. I’m sure that whatever it is, it’ll be pretty good. - John
I’m not sure what it is, but you can really crystalize important concepts into easy to understand ideas.
Not to mention the fact that you’re sooo handsome!
Thanks for the delivering the goods.

The manifesto is truly enlightening. I missed the coaching opportunity but I am very interested in purchasing a home study course if you ever make that available. Your use of MindMap is truly powerful and I am sure you will give powerful MP3 interviews and case studies.
Rich,
You may not remember me but I had dinner with you at Stephen Pierce’s seminar back in January of 2005. I had never heard of you before then but I chose to sit at your table because of your incredible track record with offline businesses. My income was at the same level as Mike Filsaime’s back when he started working with you. A year and a half later and I’m doing a little better but working twice as hard. I wasn’t able to make it in time to be in your elite 150 group but the information you’ve given me has already helped me work less in my business.
Take care,
Gary Huynh
it just keeps getting better and better!
thank you for the time and effort you have put into providing this incredible information.

Hey Rich,
dude where the hell you come up with these marketing stuff man, it frigging awesome..
I wish I had the cash to get in on your program yesterday but maybe next time…
The resources you’ve shared have been gold to me and others I thank you for that.
Anyway I’m about to get into this new pdf and can’t wait thanks again.

Hi Rich,
Here’s one possible solution.
Would it be possible for you to record some of your consultations have them edited and offer them as an information product to help the people who can’t get your coaching.
Kindest regards,
Andrew Cavanagh
So peeved you’re giving away these “secrets” for free.
On Monday afternoon, July 17th, I happened to come across you and the generously supplied materials–the manifesto, lost chapter, interviews, etc.–and began going through them. I had no idea that there was a deadline for anything until I saw yesterday (after noon, when I got home from my day job!) that I’d already _missed_ it!
What you so strongly support is nothing less than enabling us to move from Kiyosaki-defined state of self-employment (with inherent exhaustion and limitations possibilities for expansion and freedom) to a true business, and at that a business that best corresponds to our true strengths (and thus to our true possibilities for long-term, strategic growth).
Thanks an immeasurable amount, and albeit [too?] late, I’m very grateful for encountering what you’ve given us.
Hoping to be able to work with you in the future-
Maco Stewart
Even though I missed out on the initial coaching offer, I, like a lot of others, cannot wait to see what you come up with next. It should be dynamite!
Rich,
Thanks for the training video. Great stuff. I like how you used video.google.com to deliver it.
Best Regards,
Jim Phillips
PS. Don’t stop let’s see some more of your video’s. This is very helpful.
I want to start a web site about heathy eatting, and selling progesterone, DHEA, pregnenolone, and thyroid. I am looking for a website designer, in the bay area, in California.
QuickTime icon won’t work. I have reinstalled QuickTime but still when I try to click on the icon in your message — nothing. I can hear or see what you want to tell me.
Any suggestions?

I just wanted to say that even though your coaching program is what I want, 5G’s held me back. I guess going to the local bank and holding them up wasn’t an option for me. I must say I have absorbed and learned much just being on you list for a year now, and having read, shared, and now living the manifesto is bringing me more power and belief that all this online stuff is not in vain and is for real.
It does level the playing field, doesn’t it?
Thanks Richy Rich.
Very good stuff.I hope to get in to next coaching club or whatever
you doing next.
Thanks
Hi, I have signed up yesterday, and I am not sure now if i am in or not because I didn’t receive a confirmation today. But I had one yesterday in terms of my credit card did pass through… Also I am receiving this e-mail leading to the blog as if I was not signed up yet.
Please let me know
Rich,
Thank you very much for this information. I was wondering if you could post the power points of the last part of the video presentation regarding the different metrics on thru the end. Thanks Lenny
The Video is terrific. We would have loved to be included in your coaching club but due to the time difference we were too late. We are sure our paths will cross sometime in the future and we will be able to secure some of your coaching, methods and future thoughts.
Best Wishes.
A tremendouse presentation.
I hope your able to teach an older person.
I cannot get your video to work! I love your uncommon, common sense ideas. I do not have a business and I am old. Am I a hopeless case?
Hello Rich,
I read the Manifesto. I read the Missing Chapter. I listened to all 3 of the interviews. I watched the hour and one half video.
I was able to make the list of 1500 to be able to view your coaching program 1 hour early.
I also responded in enough time to be enrolled but I didn’t and here’s the reason why. You said if your just getting by please don’t enroll so I didn’t.
I love your material and I think it’s great. In fact, I think it’s profound.
Why do I feel so terrible afterwards when I read, listen and watch all of the information?
Because I go back to the day to day grind in my business and I do see an end in sight. Now I hear your voice whenever I start to do something in my business.
“Process Mapping, Managing Projects, Magic Number and so on”
Every single business owner needs what your teaching. No one teaches this and you still have more Internet Marketers throwing more stuff at you each and every day and it’s not going to stop.
I know they are just seizing the opportunity they didn’t necessarily create it.
Bob Proctor said something one time that has really stuck with me. He said, “my way is not the only way to success but it’s the only way I know to teach.”
I wish I knew your step by step system. I wish I could wake up every morning and apply your strategy to my line of business.
Your information is great but now I just have a thousand pieces to a business puzzle that I have no idea how to put together.
All the information you shared just left me wanting more.
I know $5k for your coaching program was a steal. I also know that is because I haven’t known to use the things your teach is the reason why I was not in a position to enroll.
Please find someway to get this information out to more people. Do you really know how many people could transform not only their lives but their business by applying this information?
Thanks again

I really enjoyed watching and listening to your video presentation. My biggest fear right now in trying to get an internet business up and runing is my money situation.
Wow!I read the manifesto before and really was impressed with the depth and breadth of the information presented.I have always had a desire to be a business owner,but in the last decade since I returned from a second missions trip in Africa with a debilitating chronic neuropathic pain disease it has been intensified.I finished my last year of high school mostly in bed lying down as well I completed a power engineering course through a technical institute much the same way.I have always wanted to be able to make my own way even before I ended up in unending constant 24/7 pain that feels like torture.Like most people who want to be successful on their own terms,I spent more than I care to remember on different “opportunities” only to end up panning for fool’s gold.One thing that really connected with me(from the manifesto) was the idea of the difference between an opportunist and an enterpreneur(spelling?).It dawned on me that I was an opportunist who Thought he was being an enterpreneur. What I didn’t realize till I was reading the manifesto was that by grabbing at almost every opportunity that passed by or presented itself as favourable,I was actually trying to do too many things at the exact time and therefore was unknowingly frustrating my own goals and plans by not process planning(something I just found very enlighting in the video presentation).Like they say,if you aim at nothing,you will hit Everything!Anyways,just wanted to thank you Rich for the abundance of insight that you have provided freely(pretty amazing when you consider some want you to pay obsene amounts for highly plagerized content let alone Actual original thought,ideas and content!)
After reading the manifesto although convinced of it’s worth and value and the fact that it was an idea(s) who’s time had come,I was intrigued with the Pied Piper effect of your magic flute(your way of thinking and ideas);and after watching the video presentation I realized by everyone seemed to be so enamoured because if learned and applied this stuff has life altering implications for the better not just for your business but for yourself,your management of time,and your ability like you quoted,”Do what you do best and leave the rest to the best”.I also really enjoyed the excerpts from the author of “Rich Dad,Poor Dad”,Robert K.My uncle who is a realtor and a real estate investor introduced me to his books and like you has helped alter my thinking.Thanks again Rich,as the video progressed and more and more gems were unearthed I realized how amazing and educational it most have been to attend the whole event.
Sincerely,
Stephen
I have been looking forward to get what i needed but all your sending is not on fit. I am looking for oversea pastor i will go into church partnership.
Rich we can’t get enough! It’s THAT good. Please keep it coming.
You’re changing lives in a big way.
Keep it coming
Adam Patel
I am an artist and most people probably wouldn’t think that this type of stuff would apply to an arist. But it does in a BIG way! thank you so much for sharing this wonderful information!
Fantastic video. There was so much great information for anyone interested in building their own business and to see the difference between that and twiddling your thumbs. Great work and a gift to those of us trying to understand what to do. Look forward to seeing more.
Rick; As I read all the well earned Comments & kudu’s, I think anything I have to say will just be a copy as I fully agree with all the praise. You have given all of us an incredible Value for our Life goals. Now we allneed to put what you have taught into our Goals andthen into action.You sure have inspired me to action.My personal thanks for your clear thinking and writing it all down. Ray
Hey Rich!
I only have this to say:
I printed out your Manifesto and the missing chapter and am reading it. And only if I can burn this video on a DVD, just by having all the information from you is like having a million dollars in my pocket. What more when I apply everything you teach?
Thanks a lot!

Just love this coaching on the “Big Overview” and conceptual analysis of what a Real Internet business should be. How to manage it’s growth as a business and not as a self employment opportunity.
This however, as I see it, will require focus and discipline to stay on-track. Too quit looking to the left and right side of the tracks ditches called opportunity hype. Hype that has helped de-rail many of us from achieving balanced success.
Great presentation
Your words.
I’m not EXACTLY sure what I’m going to do, but I know
there must be some way to assist the THOUSANDS of
people who desperately want help growing their business.
I have a way for you to help the masses of people and also help your bottom line. I am one person who would use your service over the internet. I could not justify $5k for your program and come to America to see you, as I come from Australia. But $150 over the internet as a PPV (pay per view)is afordable for most people around the world. With this program you can broadcast to thousands of people around the world and get paid for doing so. If your serious, check out my web site.

Thanks for sharing this with us!
G’ Day Rich,
This content has been amazing… Thank you very much. This video has really helped me a lot.
Since I can’t see the slides properly do you mind posting the powerpoint presentation… I would really like to see the problem solving one.
Thanks again,

And I thought I was an entrepreneur. Shhh. Don’t tell anybody that I’m not. I’m in real training now thanks to the Manifesto and the Lost Chapter — getting on the right track and tract to becoming an entrepreneur. I’ve suffered from information overload and now I understand why!
I will seek to garner as much as possible from the materials you are leaving us first hand that will become your legacy. I will continue to sift through to weed out good entrepreneurial material that is solely relevant to advancing my own company both online and offline.
Thank you Rich!
Hi Rich, If you gave so much for free in the video, I can’t even imaging how much you are going to give in a course. Can’t wait.
Vadim
Thank You Rick;Hope I signed up in time,and for support. Much Aloha-Ian Kagimoto.
i did not really understand his comment on the resources page about webjillion.com and the temptation blocker.. could anyone comment on this
nevermind .. i figured it out.. you have to search for this in the blog and you will find the blog post and the link to download the program
Rich Schefren’s “Internet Business Process” video is what all “entrepreneur-wannabes” need to watch… digest… study and incorporate into their very being.
Rich has distilled the essence of what is necessary to build a real business that can operate on its own without the creator of the business being a “one-man-band”.
Michael Gerber’s E-Myth, Robert Kiyosaki’s Cash Flow Quadrant, Peter Drucker’s teachings, along with Deming, Jeff Paul and Ray Kroc business building philosophies are all distilled down to their very essences and presented in a way that can give the “ready student” an experience that can only be described as an epiphany.
Two thumbs up to Rich for a great presentation and education.
Respectfully,
Gerard LeBlond
Rich, thanks for the video and resources. They are just awesome.
Do you have any tools on discovering strengths and passion. Also tools on fidning profitable niches?
Abel
Rich, I am quite at a loss for words. I thankfully got a link to download your manifesto from Suzanne Falter Barnes and having read that, and the “missing chapter”, and now seeing this video, I can see why and where I have wasted so much time. Like all newbies, after 6 months of buying “crap” I’ve got information overload, and have become paralysed. If you don’t mind me suggesting it, the best thing you can do for those of us who could not afford to join your group, is exactly what you have done above. Create a set of videos (that can be added to on an ongoing basis by you)and let us “subscribe” to this. That way we get to see and hear you, and if you want to include script, so much the better. There you go…..that’s EXACTLY what we need. Thank you once again, you have changed the way I look at developing an Online business, in fact ANY business. Best of luck - from “Down under” in Sydney.
Hey Abel,
re: “Do you have any tools on discovering strengths and passion. Also tools on fidning profitable niches?”
It’s weird, but I think Rich answered your question in the last 30 seconds of the video (which is funny because those may have been the most valuable 30 seconds someone will ever watch..)
He said:
“That’s why I left the Hypnosis business: there’s no scalability in that business. Someone who paid my company $2,000 for a hypnosis program, it was very difficult to get them to buy anything else ever. And it just wasn’t a good business model. I couldn’t build scalability. If you can’t build scalability in the business you’re in now, you should really start to think about if that’s the right business for you, because you’re in a promotion business.”
Jay Abraham once said when people bring him ads and ask for help with their ‘business’, he would say “You don’t have a business, you have an ad.”
This idea of scalability resonates with the other ideas Rich shared. Continuity. JVs. More products/services.
Generally, a longer Life Cycle and higher potential value.
Which makes a hell of a lot of sense, which is why it is VERY important what business you choose in the beginning.
It’s like rigging the economics in your favor right from the start. The front end…really and truely…is irrelevant. A business run with ‘one offs’ and only on front end is sub-optimal at best. Right? Because you could lose money on acquiring leads and still make kick ass money over the leads’ Life Cycle.
It’s almost as if you’re looking for a business that is rigged to be a ’set up’. A high probability of success business. Picking that type of business right off the bat.
The potential value (other side of current value) in terms of Life Cycle is going to make a huge difference. So in terms of what niche - one that has high backend potential, because so long as you can bridge the gap between LOSS and Break even (on acquisition), you’re cool. And that’s where tactics like Up sells come and save our butts with little to no changes to our copy.
And the whole ‘what niche’, again: Probably stack the odds in your favor and one that has some form of continuity already built in!
Anyways, so much to think about. Awesome video Rich. Thanks for sharing!
I have forwarded this onto my Boss who also needs to watch it. Even with a degree in business and marketing it was good value.Thanks Rich
Thanks Rich. Sharing your Big Seminar presentation for free. That’s overdelivering. Incredible stuff.
Hi Rich
Great stuff watching a master and I really mean a MASTER work the hungry crowd.
Hi Rich
All I can say is, you have taken me one step closer to my dream, with this amazing presentation.
Thank you in heaps
Saravanan
Thank you for reminding me to stop being the technician and to start building my business. It is amazing how I could read Michael Gerber’s E-Myth and listen to Robert Kyosaki’s materials, yet still get sucked right back into being the Technician in my business. I can’t wait to start mapping out our business processes and teaching someone else how to complete the telecom analyses for our clients so that I can focus my time on building the business. You have totally destroyed the cliche of “you get what you pay for.” Your video was FREE and has benefited me more than any of the products I have purchased in the past 5 years. Many thanks and may God bless you.
I’ll look when I know how much
You did it again !!! Still havent’ watched the video, but the resources list is incredible.
Thanks again
Hello Rich,
I am not sure what it is… since I did not met you or taked with you in person yet.. but from what I received so far in the emails.. tel me you are a powerful men.. I did not watch the video yet.. but I already feel you are into something big..
I wish you are a God Fearing men and what ever you do will be noble and ethical… at this time I do not afford to get in your programs.. but I am very interested to learn from you an dperhaps soon will be able to afford any or al of what your programs have to offer.
May God Guide you in all you do, say and think.
nick
Wow, I am glad to hear from you. I am a greenhorn just starting to learn about internet marketing business not even a month ago. You have given me so much pointers how I should put in my energy smartly in to this business. Thank you. What remains now is for me to put this into action. When I have my first success, I shall remember you.
Cheers
Hello Rich,
I am a koeran pastor thinking about how to do well what I do.
And your video is a eye-opening approach to me.
Your presentation, I believe, literally can influence basically what all people do in life.
And you gave it for free.
You have given happiness to so many peopel with God-given talent.
I pray the following words of God come to pass onto you.
[Luke 6:38]
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
[Acts 20:35]
The Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
I beleive encounter with your video is the grace of God.
My pastoral approach will get a great momentum.
May God bless you!
Yours in Christ.
Thank you very much.
A very compelling and informative video, and I’m looking forward to the release of related products in the future. Your approach has the “this is what I should be learning” feel that I most covet.
I also found the list of resources very helpful, and would definitely be interested in any additional resources you can recommend.
Rich,
You are my hero.
I have been highly encouraged by your manifesto and the video. I now see more clearly what I need to do. And since you have shown how effective planning and systems can be, I am highly motivated to do it.
Your tool list is awesome and yes, please send more!
BTW, is it possible to get a copy of your PowerPoint?
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thanks Rich for the video. It helps us o lot for imprinting in our “unconscious” the business success ideas. Also kudos for the PDF resource file, it contains great outsourcing links, very different resources in comparison with what you get in an “usual” “resource link”.
Thanks again!
Great - whole new view on it being a business vs playing with something at home which is how most of the opportunities are presented..!!
Thank you for the pointers..
Rich you provide great value. One other person I can think of is Holly mann of honestriches.com
MR SCHEFREN:
I’ve been an Internet marketer/JV facilitator for 10 years now and would like to speak with you or email you as I am very resourceful and have alot to offer in regards to marketing and JVs. Please contact me direct at ceo@invisionholdings.com at your convenience.
PS: Would like to get the recent hour and a half video in MP3 format so I could save it. God bless.
Sorry, I could not download and see your video.
What should I do?

I was up three hours past my bedtime watching the video and as a result inspiration came.
More videos please
Pat
Rich, I loved it and it’s excatly what the market needs to know. My thinking has transformed with the information you have given. If there is anyway possible you could provide us with a copy of that presentation it would be great. Thanks
Great info. Thanks
Rich, thank you so much for all that you are doing. I devoured your Manifesto and The Missing Chapter. The video really clarified and captured the big picture for me.
Jackie
This video totally captures your attention for the full 90 minutes. I took notes on the key points and plan to watch it more than once! Congratulations on being able to bundle your message in a way that compels others to take action.
I know you are the real deal as I saw you speak in Baltimore and met you personally. Yes, you are running a business for profit but you cannot hide the passion you exude for others to be successful. Your willingness to share with us some key techniques and strategies is refreshing!
Thanks for sharing because we all know you did not have to!
Have a maximized day,
Kimberly
Hi Rich I just recently came across your website and I just watched the seminar video that you did and I would just like to kick myself. I have taken a business college course and they teach exactly what you teach. Yet I didn’t think that a internet business was treated the same when in reality it is. Your seminar was great and I hope to learn more from you. I am going to start to apply what I have learned now to my business. On another note, it would be great to do something on finicing your business for those who don’t have the start up capital. What suggestions do you have for someone who is starting out? How much capital should you need in order to do a online business? What resources are out there for us to use? Thank you again for helping those who are wanting to build a better life for themselves.
Rick,
What you are saying is correct, and is similar to e-myth…but in terms of outsourcing…for a small start up who might/will have a very small budget, then money becomes a big issue, and therefore that small start up has no choice but to do it all themselves…but I do agree with your logic…
Excellent! Everything you spoke about i am trying to do, it makes me feel i am on the right track for creating our new website, we are just raising the finance to make it happen! and your experiences knowledge and services would excell our developments through the roof. But i dont have the finance just yet to work with you and your team, but i will.
Great Stuff Rich! I missed the launch of your coaching club so I’ve signed up on the waiting list. Your insights into time management are right on time when it seems that these days, the net is bombarded with one new product launch after another. Heck… if I read through every daily offer in my “Inbox” I would never get anything productively accomplished. There’s more I would like to say, but for now, I’ll stay on the waiting list.
I enjoyed listening to your video “Full Length Business Building Video”. Can what you are promoting apply to MLM?
Thanks for making this great resource available. It is great and so simple to understand.
WOW! You’ve literally showed how the K.I.S.S principle works in your talk (from beginning to end)! Very good choice of illustrations and presentation work (thanks to your assistant).
I’m scouting out good materials for my friend to find tips in running her business more efficiently/effectively…Oh, it’s growing, but sometimes you need an extra push and encouragement…that’s my job…moral support!
May I refer this site to her, so she can watch the video?
Great video. Nice to see the manifesto in another format.
MY BUSINESS MODEL SUCKS! (but it’s getting better)
Looking forward to the coaching club.
BTW - Great sales process!
I like what I have heard if only I could understand ,I work for a company so I am the little guy with no knowledge of buisness
I would like to know more he talks a lot of sence , From England
Hot Stuff!
Info like this will make us rich, Rich.
I’m now, totally rethinking my strategy, niche, etc.
Thanks a million.
Quickie - where does the little guy who’s not yet making thousands a month, start?
Does he need to build his income to a few grand a month by himself, then start process-mapping/ outsourcing?
Thanks again,
Scotty
Thanks Rich!
Over the course of my career I had heard bits and pieces of what you were speaking about but had never seen it put as succintly as you did.
I’m starting today implemeting some of these ideas and my husband intends to watch your video too so that he can use some ideas in an entirely different arena from the Internet.
I look forward to seeing and reading more.
- Kristine
Rich
Thanks for the great video and information.
I never looked at my own internet business in the way that you have done in your video and can now start to make better use of my time.
take care
and thanks
Rich -
Wow! If only I would have found out about this prior to the launch of your coaching program, I would have been the first in line. I just got a link to this page today and have just spent the past few hours watching the video and reading the Manifesto and Missing Chapter. What an eye-opener. Thanks so much for being so generous with your knowledge and experience.
I am currently in an apprentice program (with 3 internet gurus)that cost more than your coaching and all they are teaching us about is basically product development (like you explained in 3 paragraphs on p. 13 in the Missing Chapter document). Now I am re-thinking that as well… as I feel like I’m going about all of this in the wrong way. Thanks for opening my eyes.
I signed up for your waiting list and would love to be able to take advantage of any more coaching you may be offering! I am disappointed that I missed out on this offer - but I will definitely process the information you shared and re-adjust my business.
Thanks again, I really appreciate the insight!
Will
Hi Rich,
Great stuffs! All those “gurus” who sell junk lessons should be ashamed. I Can’t believe the value of what you are offering for free.
Great list of resources! Can’t believe there are stuffs like that out there.
2 suggestions for you:
- Can you give the resources for Virtual Assistants that you always talk about?
- Please provide a download link for the video. I’m on dial up and I keep disconnecting while watching it, thus, I can’t view your video. Not even with buffering.
Regards,
Rich:
Thanks for the manifesto and sharing, the voice interviews, and now the video.
Would like to see a home study or printed material about how to develop the key business metrics.
As you state become fanatical about the metrics they are the window to the leverage opportunities right under your nose.
Tell me more about these metrics so I can become a fanatic.
Best Regards,
I have a possible solution to the home study course problem. Perhaps as you coach your new group of 150 people, you can record your conversation (with permission of course) and release the audios of some of your coaching sessions.
Jason Cooper aka “NetfireGuy”
http://www.NetfireGuy.com
Rich,
Just receive your “Squashing the Homestudy Rumours” email and wanted to make a suggestion …
With the approval of the coaching program members, either as a group or individually, why don’t you record the telephone consultations and any communications that occur.
Take all of that content and turn it into a course that anyone could have access to (removing the identity of the individual coaching members to protect their businesses).
That way, others could still benefit from the process that you go through and the approaches that you take.
It’s leveraging the content and information that’s already going to be created, so it won’t be very much additional work - you would just need to record the conversations, organize all other communications and compile them using one of your famous processes.
That’s my two cents …
Jason Dolman
Thanks Rich for showing us a live demonstration of how internet marketing actually works. I just watched you put out emails that resulted in you getting 150 people to agree to pay you some amount ($500/month?). Not only that you created a frenzy for your services and now are showing us how to backend market to the people who didn’t “get in”. Brilliant.
Replying to your e-mail, you have two main “exits” (I’m out!):
ghost writers or pre-written texts you may change in no time.
I have their addresses, just in case.
Best Wishes,
PT
PS.: Avoid “my” Website. Thank you.
Hiya Rich, You asked for ideas in your recent email…..
Maybe I’m missing something here, but based on what your own ideas around business… isn’t systematizing your coaching methods the logical next step?
ie.
1. Find 12-25 people that are qualified to coach.
2. Have them in place by the time your program starts in a couple of weeks.
3. Open up the doors for additional people to take advantage of coaching with them.
4. Have these groups start a week apart, with the first trailing your elite group by a couple of weeks.
Rich: You mentioned in your last email that you do not have the bandwidth to do a home study course for those of us that did not get in on the coaching. I have a suggesttion (and yes it is purely selfish on my and my teams part). Our expertise is in content and knowledge management - which really translates into we transform coaching sessions, live sessions, and printed materials into home study courses that really hit the mark. Now you may ask who we have done this for in the past - well, you can add Avaya, Cisco Systems, Varian Medical Systems, and Peet’s Coffee & Tea to the list. Let’s talk and see if we can work together to get your message out to all of those that are yearning for your expertise. Let’s chat - Dr. Bette Daoust
With respect to your Home Study email. You could record all the calls, clean them just up a bit and release them just as Jay Abraham did with his boot camps. Offer a guide/workbook so students could follow along with the calls. Many people would find significant value there, especially if you’re no longer offering the coaching program…
Rich,
Thank you very much for getting your business information out to the many people that will benefit from your teachings.
I first came across your material from Keith Wellman and Mike Filsaime just before I was to attend a seminar that they were at in Seattle.
After reading thru all the responses I see there are many others suffering from the same overload and technician mindset, which I have been afflicted with.
I understand the true value of a mentorship program and have enrolled in one. My mentor is a descendant of one of your students and I know I will be in good hands.
For those of you who could not get into Rich’s program seek out one of his students. You will see his teachings in their program; I know I have with my mentor.
I look forward to passing on your work to all that follow me and to my children, so they can learn the proper way to become successful.
Thank you again; you are truly a butterfly creating an energizing wind for those who seek it.

I find your communications and offerings very odd .. the marketing content is okay .. but all your communications via email imply that you don’t follow your own advise.
Last email state you won’t supply a homestudy course .. yet within the google video you offer you state you are looking for a coaching program you can offer that does not require your personalized one on one support. !
RE: Rich’s homestudy email of today. Rich, my crystal ball says you will start such a course very, very soon. Your choice of a new partner, Agora Publications, suggested as much last week. The fanfare for this last-ever one-on-one group is a great way to lead up to homestudy supervised by your successful mentorees/players. A great idea — good luck! - Elatia
Rich I am glad that you are not going to turn your coaching into a home study course.
Here are the reasons why I say this.
1. I think it will cheapen the value of what you offer. No matter good it would be it is not the same as having you interact with them for 11 intensive weeks.
2. 99% of the people who would purchase the product wouldn’t implement the things you’d tell them to anyway. Most would swear that this stuff doesn’t work. Hence, that is why wealth is being controlled by 2% of the population today. You only have a few 2 percenters and they are probably all in your coaching program.
3. Most people who would get the information would insist on doing it their way, and their way has led them to being broke, tired, frustrated and overworked.
4. Subway, Smoothie King and Papa John don’t create home study courses for people who want to buy one of their franchises. There is a considerable time and investment involved to be apart of their turnkey solutions. Turnkey is not synonymous with quick fix.
5. So many people are looking for a quick fix solution to a problem that has taken them a decade to create.
6. Most people are not wired for excellence and as Henry David Thoreau said ” Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them. ”
Few are willing to live deep and suck out the marrow of life.
So I commend you for not prostituting your coaching and turning it into some watered down home study course.
If you did, most people would probably be like sheep led to the slaughter or like a deer caught in a headlight. They would be so overwhelmed with your awesome information they simply would not do anything.
Big Ups to you Rich.

Rich,
You said
“Now I hate to be blunt, but I just DON’T have time
to create a homestudy…
I wish there was something I could do, if you have any ideas, please post them on the blog”
I suggest that you let someone or people you trust do something for you. It need not be exactly a complete home study course.
The approach I suggest is audio course. Have known “gurus” that you have worked with talk about and teach the methods they have learned from you. You could have different people cover different topics that they are experts in.
What you then need is to JV with one person to pull all this together for you, and deal with the details of putting the project together. You will find a lot of people more than willing to do that job.
HA! Rich says in his last email that he wishes there was more he could do for us poor people who didn’t (couldn’t) get in on his coaching program. Rich says he doesn’t have enough time!
Come Rich! You’re the man. Why not outsource your coaching to one of your best students? And why not do it online via the power of teleseminars and video conferencing.
Now it might not be you, but I’m sure we could learn a lot from one of your students. This way the price point could be more affordable to those desperate to get in and learn your wisdom!
My two cents.

Well, I think the answer could be in starting a program that trains coaches who are authorized and certified to use your process. After all, your significant claim is to have just such a method that passes on the ability to duplicate any process …
I have watched the video and read the Manifesto and I must say that the information is second to none.
I am one of those people who did all the stuff and have been quite successful however realised that in reality I have created my
