You are truly a motivational coach.

I liked the manifesto and I have also watched the video presentation.

I totally agree that task sourcing is important the only problem I have is how can this be achieved on a thin air budget. Most newbie’s are buying knowledge in the beginning with the intention of utilizing that knowledge in the field. They have limited funds.

Therefore, most have no option but to do most of the donkey work themselves until income allows to source out the hard work.

Thanks for your advice, Mark

You hit the nail on the head Rich in regards to starting a business. Team building is one of our main focuses this year with our company. Your books and talks have helped me to stay focused on achieving our goals and expanding my vision.

Thanks!

Hi Rich,

I just got your two tapes as the bonus from Jim Edwards’ MiniWebsites teleconference and purchase. I have listened and am now doing the first of my 200 miniwebsites.
I got what you said about delegating the jobs to others within your office or home so you can continue the creation/idea development. I want and need that type of help NOW. However, I must first crawl, which I am doing now, so I can understand what the other person will be doing when I turn it over to them.
I am finding this very challenging and exciting. I loved what you said about the entrepreneur and you on the airplane. Yet, we all have to start someplace. I definitely have found out I am a slow learner in this arena. I learn and duplicate in other fields. This internet website building has been a challange.
I even bought the Simple Money Machines only to find that I still must develop miniwebsites within that program also. So I am doing just that. I like the creation and the ability to work with the affiliates and use some of their ideas and suggestions. I am developing a site for Joshua Shafran’s $500 set up in 30 days because that is where I have to start. I am using Jim Edwards’ program to do that.
This development on the Internet is a coordination and integration of numerous programs and ideas to come out with your online business. I am not inventing a new product, just using affiliate programs so they are in my words (to avoid the duplication problem of Google search engines) and have my own site. I want this to work. I have other projects that are waiting for the increase in income so I can finish some financial situations and develop real estate projects.
I actually have 3 people coming to dinner with me on February 10 to celebrate my getting traffic and income on my first really new website that actually works. I want this cookie cutter program to work effortlessly for myself and others. I loved your layout of using 6 interrelated products to drive more traffic to all of your lists. It really makes sense.
Keep up the great work. I loved the Manifesto and knew I was not ready for it at that time. I will by the end of the year as my goal is to have 200 websites up and earning $500/week on an average. I still have to learn the numbering system and that will come once I start getting numbers to deal with on each site.

Thanks, Patricia

Hey Rich, thanks for sharing. You have a great way of igniting passion without the drama. I say why not have fun all the time…just live it up! Why would anyone who cares about their business even consider being a manager, that’s crazy talk.

Best Regards
John

Edward: Another MLM is the last thing the internet needs. Please revisit you relationships with Rexall, Automatic Builder, etc. and figure something else out.

Rich: It is a rare entrepreneur that can allow another to manage his business, even when he thinkis this is what he wants. Unwitting potential CEOs should be wary of such arrangements as well.

Oppps – let’s try this again (I left a comment to the wrong posting before).
OK – not fair. Read your blog post about sitting next to a successful entrepreneur…but you never mentioned his name. I am dying to know, so please spill the beans. Thanks.

You know it’s easy to hire good business managers but really good entrepreneurs are rare – and often they don’t make very good business managers.

The swashbuckling, fast adapting, fly by the seat of your pants and stay in the creative phase style so effective in entrepreneurship is pretty much opposite to the most effective business management style.

But Rich, you hit the nail on the head when you talk about hiring managers for your business so you can stay in the creative entrepreneur role.

If you look at it from a pure numbers perspective entrepreneurs usually create the most wealth – often they’re creating businesses and income from thin air.

If you’ve got entrepreneurial blood you’d be crazy to try to turn yourself into a business manager.

Kindest regards,
Andrew Cavanagh

Hi Rich,

I met you at the WORLD INTERNET SUMMIT in Las Vegas last September (2006) and I\’ve been following your advice and found that my online presence and success rates are increasing since then.

I\’ve put \”Zero G\” on my calendar for 2008!

It\’s amazing how much you care for the people you \”serve\” by giving extreme value to them whether they are on your coaching programs or not. I choose to follow that model because I too gained so much business \”how-to\” knowledge from you. I am now passing that on to others.

To Your Success and the Success of All Those You Know!

William Sinclair
