Not Your Typical Launch Hangover

Rich Schefren — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 00:27:08 +0000

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:

Your Top 10 Questions About The Guided Profits System

Rich Schefren — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 04:17:15 +0000

OK, this launch has now officially reached deafening levels...

In fact, ever since I got off the tele-seminar with legendary marketer Jay Abraham, I've been trying to get this post written. And that was over 10 hours ago!

Swarms of people, from newbies to gurus whose names you would instantly recognize, have been bombarding us with calls and emails virtually begging to reserve a spot inside the program because they're afraid it will instantly fill up.

And they may be right.

Plus, all the while we've been getting swamped with questions about my upcoming coaching program. And there still flying into my inbox faster than we can open them.

Anyway - I know you want answers, and that’s what I got. So here are the details for the most common questions I've been receiving.

Question 1: Do I need to have a business already?

Ideally, the GPS program would work best if you have your own business or at least the desire to start one. Because at the end of the day, that’s where your long-term wealth will come from.

But that being said, having your own business is not mandatory to get in to my program. Because small fortunes have been made by just knowing a fraction of what you’ll discover inside GPS even by those without a business.

See, these atomic bombs of constraint eliminating firepower can be applied to any size business at anytime for staggering fees. That’s how I started, and it laid the foundation for my entire company. So, I guess it worked out ok.

But at some point, you'll want to have the freedom that running your own business provides. And by using what you learn from me to grow your own business, you'll achieve that in record time.

Question 2: What if I'm new to Internet Marketing and just starting out? Is this right for me?

That's one we're getting a lot. And it's a legitimate concern. So here’s the skinny...

If you know absolutely nothing about the internet, have no offline business experience whatsoever, and can only put in one hour a week towards this program, then this probably isn't for you.

Because the GPS program is NOT--I repeat NOT--a business in box, a business opportunity, or a deal where I promise you that we'll do all the work.

That’s a fools game. And while everyone deserves a chance for success, I tend not to mix well with those who haven't adjusted to the realities of business life.

But if you're willing to actually spend the time and apply what I'll show you, then you'll be starting a business armed with a skill-set entrepreneurs everywhere only wish they had when they started.

You'll avoid all the paralyzing mistakes while consistently choosing the most profitable action. In fact, your new skills will be even MORE valuable in the start up stage, since that's the time when entrepreneurs work the hardest, sacrifice the most, and make the least.

But, by simply utilizing what you learned in the GPS program, you'll be able to totally avoid the dreaded "overworked and underpaid" stage and waltz right into positive cash flow from the very start.

Question 3: What if I have a full-time job? How long till I can quit?

If you're employed full time, the GPS program might interfere with your evening TV schedule. But other than that this program is easily doable and enjoyable.

And as far as how long until you can quit your job, let me turn tables and ask you a few questions first: How long is a piece of rope?

How high is the sky?

How deep is the ocean?

Sorry, but I have a reputation for being blunt at times. But here's my point...

This is not a lottery ticket. It's NOT going to happen overnight. The GPS program is a fast-track process that builds a business in record time by first breaking down the constraints that keep your feet bogged down in the mud, then streamlining your business so it moves swiftly towards massive profitability.

Will it happen in 4 weeks? 8 weeks? 3 months? That's entirely up to you and the constraints you walk in with. But I will make you this promise...

I will do everything in my power to advance your business as quickly as possible. You can take that to the bank. Because if you do well, I do well.

And when you finish the program and see what you've accomplished, you'll not only impress yourself, but you'll understand how vital the process was to get you where you wanted to be.

Just don't plan on turning in your resignation letter to the boss next week.

Question 4: What if I am already overwhelmed with information overload? Is your coaching program going to eliminate it or exasperate it?

Ah, the ol' paralysis by analysis enigma. That ban of most internet marketers. That's a fair question, because there's literally 100 different ways you can make money online. And everyone promises that their method is THE method.

But here's a little secret about information overload...

That's actually one of the biggest constraints facing entrepreneurs today. It bogs us down until we don't know which way to turn, which guru to follow, and which program to buy into.

So what do we do? Procrastinate, delay, and go looking for more information. After all, it's a lot easier, it doesn't hurt, and we don't have to take a chance.

But here's what's I love about the GPS program: it's actually tailored to WIPE OUT information overload, not add to it. Because it’ll automatically transform your current Just In Case information strategy with a Just In Time information strategy.

And that my friend will eliminate 90% of your problem right there. The net result: you’ll operate with greater clarity and more confidence in your own solutions then the ones you hear others swear by. How cool is that?

Question 5: I've already bought a few marketing courses, what ís different about your program?

First of all, let's make something perfectly clear--this is NOT a marketing course.

Marketing courses usually improve the POTENTIAL of your business, unless you get lucky and happen to luckily pick the course that matches perfectly your current constraint.

Always remember – your actual SUCCESS is determined by your constraints and how you eliminate them. And that's what this course will do for you.

So it's more effective, more efficient, and more results-certain than anything out there. In fact, I would venture to say it's the most powerful and profitable (and most hands-on) business training and coaching program that I’ve ever come across.

Because the GPS program doesn't try to teach you to follow a certain road, then let you loose to work through the roadblocks on your own.

It plops you right in the middle of that road with a pick axe and sledgehammer and says, "Let's tear these bad boys down so it's easier to get to our destination."

Doesn't that seem to make a lot more sense--and isn’t that in an entirely different league --than another marketing course? Question 6: Up until a few weeks ago I never heard of you. No offense, but how do I know you're the real deal?

Great question. It shows you're a smart consumer. Never buy anything from anyone online without checking them out first.

But honestly, I'm not one to start throwing around accolades about myself. What I am most proud of, and what should impress you and reassure you more than anything is my unparalleled track record. Sure, I've been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, a ton of broadcast networks and lots more. But what you want are results – and I’ve delivered the exact results you’re craving time and time again. You can also Google my name and see what others say about me. Just hope my wife hasn't started blogging.

Question 7: How exactly is the GPS program going to work?

In a nutshell, over the 30 days of the training here's how it will go...

--Phase one will include a daily live streaming sessions each and every day for a full 30 days.

--Phase two will include two daily live streaming question and answer session where you can press me for the answers you need to eliminate whatever stands in your way.

--Phase three will include 4 Saturday Seminar training sessions delivered right to your home office spaced out every other week.

--Phase four will involve compiling and implementing your GPS Business Growth Guide over the remaining 30 days And of course, everything will be archived, transcribed and indexed for your convenience. There's LOTS more involved with the program...too much to list here. You can find out more when we go live on Thursday at noon eastern.

Question 8: Do I have to be in the US to participate in the GPS coaching program?

Absolutely not. But there are a few considerations that you need to make if you're outside the continental USA.

First, the schedule of training will be based on Eastern Standard Time. But I’ve accommodated your schedule by immediately archiving the phase 1 streams and conveniently timing phase two question and answer streams 10-12 hours apart (one in the morning and one in the evening) So you’ll avoid having to get up at odd hours for any reason.

But don't worry--even if you miss a session, we will be recording everything, so you'll always have access to all of the training materials. In fact we’ll send you a complete set when the program is done.

Question 9: Will this be too much for me to handle?

Maybe. Maybe not. If it's not for you, then it's not for you. But consider this...

When you start a new workout program, what happens over the first few days? Yep--you're sore, you're achy, and your body is screaming for you to stop.

But if you push through and keep on going, the soreness wears off, and is replaced by a feeling of rejuvenation. Then you start seeing results in the mirror, and that fires you up even more.

It's the exact same way with the GPS program. You may feel some pain and discomfort at first, but then when you actually see your constraints crumbling before your very eyes and the profits rolling in, then it all becomes worth those few moments when it hurt a little.

Believe me--it'll happen – it always does!!

Question 10: I gotta have this program Rich--how do I get it?

It's very easy to be enrolled into the GPS program. Here's what you need to do...

1) When the clock strikes 12 noon eastern time on Thursday, September 25, make sure you're at this link.

https://ssl.strategicprofitsystem.com/gps/

And if you still see countdown timer, then hit refresh until a letter pops up.

2) Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the link that says. "Yes Rich, I'm Ready To Sign Up For Guided Profit System, My Personal GPS For My Business."

3) Follow the easy instructions on the next few pages, and you'll be all set!

I hope this little Q and A has helped to calm any confusion you have about my new course. So you can make the right decision for you, and your business.

It's really going to be something special, and you’ll be as thankful as all my previous clients are. So I hope to see you inside.

Until then, time for bed...tomorrow's a big day.

To Higher Profits, Rich

Whew..what an incredible 90 minutes.

I just got off the phone with Jay Abraham, and I feel like I just went 15 rounds with Tyson in his prime.

Take a listen and see for yourself here

See, Jay describes his interview style as "ruthlessly benevolent". And that's an understatement.

This is a guy who doesn't throw softballs. Every question comes at you with blazing speed and lots of curves. And this interview is no exception.

Because to put it bluntly, Jay is YOUR advocate here, not mine. He's not doing this to make me look good. He's doing this to help make your business a massive success.

So if you think this is a fluff piece, you're dead wrong.

--How to find the most leverageable (and profitable) tools and mindsets in your industry...

--How to finally catapult past your constraints and get to the heart of the solution...

--How leverage is a lot like cholesterol (sounds weird, but this is mind-blowing analogy!)...

--Why you're settling for less than you can achieve--and how you can eliminate this constraint forever...

--The secret constraints both Jay and Rich have struggled with...and how they overcame them.

--Jay's "Indiana Jones School of Business" and how this metaphor can open up new worlds of opportunity for you...

--Why common sense doesn't equate to common practice in your business (so simple, but so immensely powerful)...

--Do you watch things happen, make things happen, or let things happen to you? Jay reveals the answer...and it might surprise you!

All this, plus much more. Go here to listen NOW.

Jay's insights on this call are brilliant.

He shows you how to turn a life of mediocrity into a life of making millions...

I'll be in the bathroom treating my bruises...

To Higher Profits,

Rich

T-Minus 48:00 And Counting

Rich Schefren — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 14:56:33 +0000

We’re heading down the final stretch

I delayed our launch a couple of times already so I could help as many people as possible, but now, it’s almost time to get this party started:

We're "all systems go" for launching just 48 hours from now: On Thursday, September 25 at noon Eastern time.

I absolutely can't wait to get going!

Nothing gives me a bigger thrill than helping online entrepreneurs grow their businesses. It’s been nearly three years since I last rolled my sleeves up and personally coached entrepreneurs one-on-one in a live program like this one -- so, if you thought I was passionate at our marathon video event, you ain't seen nothing yet!

No, I'm not going to spoil the surprise by giving you the details on Guided Profit System now. But I am going to answer some of the questions I'm getting now -- and I'm going to be straight with you; no hype, no fluff:

1. THIS WILL NOT COST $15,000.00

For some reason, I’ve received a flood of emails from people asking if this was going to cost $10,000, $15,000, even $25,000. And while there’s no question that my former coaching students would tell you it’ll worth many, many times more, the enrollment price is going a tiny fraction of those amounts.

2. THIS IS GOING TO BE INTENSE

Ask anyone who knows me: When I take business building very seriously. And frankly, I have no time or patience for entrepreneurs who are less committed to their own success than I am.

So this program is intended solely for serious entrepreneurs who are willing to work as intensely on their businesses as I am -- and who will actually USE my personalized instruction, advice, methods, and strategies to obliterate any and all constraints currently standing between them and the success they desire.

If that sounds like you -- if you can see, feel and taste all the opportunity surrounding you online but need to blast through the constraints holding you back -- this intense, 30-day program will deliver life you dreamed about when you decided to start your online business.

3. YOU MUST BE PREPARED FOR 30 DAYS OF MASSIVE ACTION

I’ve found that when I am able to work with a client daily for 30 days straight, I can create ten, even twenty times greater success than when the process is drawn out over a longer period of time.

Compressing the entire constraint-eliminating process into a single 30-day period inevitably ensures that you will, in fact, implement, execute, and follow through on the ideas, strategies, and tactics we come up with together and that you will reap the results in record time.

That means, to get you to from where you are now to where you and I want you to be in 30 days, the pace will be relentless. I'll become a kind of entrepreneurial "drill sergeant:" Preparing you to do battle with your toughest competitors online and triumph over them.

I’ll stop at nothing to get you to the goal you signed up for. You'll see and feel the difference we're making in your business every single day. You'll begin reaping many of the rewards almost instantly. And as we near the end of this exhilarating process, you will already be reaping returns that dwarf the price of admission.

4. YOU MUST BE COMMITTED

My mission is to make you wildly successful -- and then to use case studies from this program to justify the higher price I'll charge for the automated version later on. That's what I did with the Business Growth System, and it's what I'll do with this program as well.

That means I can't -- and I won't -- let you fail. I simply have too much riding on this.

So during this one-time-only pilot program, you'll get me -- PERSONALLY -- working hand-in-hand with you to blast through your constraints and explode your business. I'll give you 100% of my attention ... 100% of my resources .... 100% of my best ideas ... and 100% of my intensity and energy. I'll hold absolutely NOTHING back.

I expect -- I NEED -- the same from you. That means you must be absolutely, positively committed to ACTING ON the solutions we develop together. That's the only way I know that when we're finished, I'll be able to point to you as a living, breathing example of the growth miracles this program produces.

Now, as you can see, I'm serious about making sure you do NOT rush into this program for the wrong reasons. Over the past three weeks, I've pulled out all the stops to help you make an INFORMED decision.

I’ve gone to extraordinary lengths to educate you about constraints. I’ve given you a highly-acclaimed report to give you a basic working knowledge of my philosophy and methodology. I've answered hundreds of your questions on this blog. I even gave you a marathon 26-hour live video consultation to give you more answers.

Now, the time for questions is almost over. In 48 hours, you will make an all-important decision. Either you'll move ahead with me to blast away the constraints that are now robbing you the success you deserve, or you won't.

And the ramifications of that decision will have a massive impact on your business, your success, your wealth and your freedom for the rest of your life.

Between now and Thursday noon, you still have time to ask any lingering questions you have. Just use the form below and your question will be instantly forwarded to me here at Strategic Profits headquarters.

I promise that we'll move heaven and Earth to get you the frank, no-B.S. answers you need as quickly as possible.

One final thing: You need to be ready to move EARLY on Thursday!

Now, I’m not a big believer in using high-pressure sales tactics in order to get you to join me. Either my track record with clients makes you think this is right for you, or you don't. Either way is OK by me.

But, fair warning: If you’re serious about eliminating the constraints that are holding you back ... if you're ready to experience the astonishing growth, freedom and profits that vaporizing your constraints will bring you ...

You need to be ready EARLY on Thursday; the day after tomorrow -- and here's why:

The last time I launched a live coaching program, I offered it to less than 31,000 internet marketers -- and every available slot was snapped up be eager online entrepreneurs in just two hours and 14 minutes.

On Thursday, more than 240,000 business owners and entrepreneurs will be invited to join me -- nearly EIGHT TIMES MORE.

Needless to say, I expect this new, constraint-busting coaching program will sell out in a heartbeat. It will not be repeated. And when the automated version is released next year, students will not get a fraction of the personal time with me and it will sell at a much higher price.

So if you're not ready to grab your place when enrollment opens on Thursday, there's every reason to believe you will miss out entirely.

Again: If there's a single question in your mind that might cause you to hesitate and miss this opportunity, please ask it now!

If You’re Reading This Blog Post… You Could Get $100,000 Worth of Coaching and Products From Me

Rich Schefren — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 19:27:07 +0000

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!

Holy #$%!–We Beat John McCain!

Sorry to be crass, but those first two words convey the consensus feeling in the office right now...

We're all just kinda standing here with our mouths open, looking at each other with glazed expressions.

And not just because any of us have had a wink of sleep in past 24 hours (and counting).

It's because this broadcast simply BLEW. US. AWAY.

Consider these eye-popping facts:

We had 27,355 people tune in to watch. That's enough to pack Madison Square Garden to the rafters--and still leave 8,000 plus standing outside.
The broadcast went straight to the top of Ustream's most watched videos almost instantly--and stayed there. In fact, it was viewed more than 786 other videos...including one of Senator John McCain.
During the early morning hours, when we anticipated a significant drop in viewership, the numbers still held steady. Most of the time, we had around 1000 people watching--in the middle of the night!

Incredible, isn't it? And it's not stopping.

Right now, hundreds of blogs, forums, and social networking sites are literally buzzing about the broadcast (and worrying about my health).

We're still getting a steady stream of emails and comments, with an overwhelming majority RAVING about what they saw.

But what amazes me most is this...

The massive response...the tens of thousands of viewers...the people who lost hours of cherished sleep because they didn't want to miss one word...

It all stems from one single thing.

Send Me The Report Now

Ouch--looks like I struck a nerve.

Because it wasn't until we released my free report, "The Uncertainty Syndrome: Entrepreneurial Emergency", that the dam burst. And the viewers started flooding in.

It became immediately obvious that entrepreneurs everywhere were struggling with the same issues, the same constraints, the same roadblocks that are keeping them from success.

So once they started reading my report, it was like getting smacked in the mouth with the painful truth. And my 24 hour broadcast was a soothing ice bag on the jaw.

The report has caused a stir--plain and simple. And it's getting bigger by the second.

So if you haven't yet, get a copy right now and see what all the fuss is about.

The Uncertainty Syndrome: Entrepreneurial Emergency

But before you do, let me make one thing perfectly clear...

If you're going to download my report and leave it sitting on your hard drive unopened, don't bother.

I know that sounds a little in-your-face (and maybe it's because I'm tired and grumpy after pulling the all-nighter) but I'm completely serious.

This report is for ACTION TAKERS...entrepreneurs who know what they want, know how to get it, and are already moving in that direction.

Only problem is, they're running into a brick wall over and over again. And they don't know how to eliminate it.

Is that you?

Send Me The Report Now

The Uncertainty Syndrome: Entrepreneurial Emergency

Get my report. Print it out.

Read it--then read it again and highlight the epiphanies. Once you have a few, please post below about what they are.

Deal?

Good. I'm headed for a shower and some sack time. Wake me in a week or two.

Rich

P.S. If you've already read the report, go ahead and chime in below with your thoughts...

I'm anxious to hear what you took from it, and how it's opened your eyes to a new way of dealing with the speed bumps in your business.

So make sure you let me know, okay?
