- The World’s Biggest Money-Sucking Vortex

QUICK UPDATE: Since my last post about using process maps for trick or treating, I’ve received a bunch of emails asking how the girls did this year.

Well, it worked like a champ once again. We set out with a specific plan, made our rounds, and came home with the biggest pile of Halloween treasure in the Schefren history.

So everyone’s happy–except maybe Debi. Because I left our sugar-buzzed kids with her while I flew out to Vegas to spend the weekend with Eli Goldratt, the founder of the theory of constraints. (Mental note: send flowers.)

I’ll go into more details about that meeting in a later post (AWESOME experience) but right now, I want to talk about an epiphany I had on this trip…

See, Vegas is the biggest money-sucking vortex on the face of the earth. No other city on the planet pulls more cash from the wallets of its visitors than Sin City.

And I gotta admit–the entire thing fascinates me to no end. And here’s why…

The whole town is one big marketing lesson in itself. Seriously.

Think about it…every hotel, from the ceiling tiles to the wild, outrageous carpet patterns, is engineered to pull your focus to one thing–the profit center known as the casino.

They don’t want you to eat. They don’t want you to sleep. They don’t want you to leave. Just play. Hand after hand, roll after roll, pull after pull. And keep on playing.

From a logical standpoint, it all seems rather silly. Because we know how often gamblers come away winners, right?

But this isn’t logic we’re talking about. This is Vegas, baby. Easy riches at your fingertips. And from a marketing viewpoint, their methodology is BRILLIANT.

Because these mammoth hotels are specifically designed to funnel you towards the casino…and funnel your cash into their pockets.

Front desk? Gotta go through the casino. Elevators? Through the casino. Restaurants? Through the casino. Meeting rooms? Through the casino.

You simply can’t ignore its presence. And the allure of the non-stop action is hypnotic, to say the least.

Soon you find yourself dropping a few bucks on the slots…maybe a couple hundred at the tables. And next thing you know, you’re heading to the ATM for more money–and you haven’t even checked in yet!

Now don’t get me wrong–I’m not anti-gambling. I enjoy the occasional double down or Pass line bet. But there’s a lesson to be had here…

Just like a Vegas hotel, everything in your business needs to funnel towards your profit center. And I mean EVERYTHING.

If it stands in the way of helping you make money, get rid of it. Period. Your time and energy are too precious to devote towards anything besides maximizing your profit streams.

And if you’re sending your prospects anywhere else besides the funnel, you’re wasting their time–and yours. (Not to mention leaving humongous stacks of cash on the table). Simple as that.

I know it might sound a little harsh, but it’s sound business. Because really, if it’s not making you money, why are you even messing with it?

Think of it this way…imagine if one of these monster Vegas theme hotels decided to tuck their casino way back in the corner someplace like a gift shop. Would they be as profitable?

Of course not. They’d lose hundreds of millions of dollars because they’re not funneling prospects into the profit center. And they’d be out of business before you can sing the first few bars of "Danke Schoen".

So what’s the best way to set up a business that sucks your prospects into your own profit vortex with Vegas-like efficiency?

Oh, that’s TOO easy.

To Higher Profits

Rich

P.S. I gotta tell you…if I had to choose between automated profits and having to scramble and scrape to make every buck, I’d take the former in a minute…

Automation is the key to real freedom as an entrepreneur. And the main reason we’ve been able to automate much of our business is because of process mapping.

These step-by-step blueprints have had a MAJOR impact on how we do things. I really don’t know where we’d be if it wasn’t for my dog-eared, coffee-stained copies.

Wanna know what’s on them? Tune in Wednesday to find out.

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:

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!

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.

Send Me The Report Now

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?

Whenever one of the girls gets something new, the first thing they do is squeal with delight.

The second thing they do is thrust it into my lap saying, “PLEEEEEASE put it together Daddy?”

Oh, the joys of being a Father…;)

Now, when it comes to assembling a toy or a bike or a Barbie Playhouse, I’m not one to fiddle around with instructions. I simply don’t have the patience. I mean, let’s face it: whoever writes these things has a sadistic sense of humor.

First you gotta unfold the origami-esque instructions, which you will never return to its original form no matter how hard you try.

Then you have to find your preferred language, which depending on where the toy was manufactured can take quite a while.

Then you check the inventory of screws, parts, stickers, and assorted plastic pieces, almost assuredly ending up with too many of one thing and not enough of another.

Then–and ONLY then–are you ready to put it together.

Like I said, I don’t have the patience for this. So most of the time I just dive in and start putting pieces where I think they should go according to the picture on the box.

And usually it moves along pretty well…to a point. Then suddenly, I realize the thingamajig should have went into Slot D instead of Slot P. Uh oh. Which means Fold B is not actually a “Fold” at all, but an Insert. Yikes. And the Phillips head screw wasn’t supposed to go in the Main Unit, but in the Side Unit. Ouch.

Meanwhile, my daughter is looking over my shoulder with breathless anticipation, asking the same question every 14.2 seconds.

“Is it done yet, Daddy?“

Oy.

Eventually, I get the thing together. But not without a few hours of intense frustration, some R-rated words uttered under my breath, and backtracking several times to fix what
I messed up.

And of course, all of this would have been avoided if I had only followed the instructions.

Which brings me to my point: What I just did with my kids’ toy is EXACTLY what many of us do these days with our businesses. I mean, who cares about processes anyway? Right?

We jump in and start firing away in all directions, blindly pushing forward and ignoring the road signs that say “don’t go here!”

And the result? Not good. You get pulled in a million directions at once, lots of things get started but never finished, and eventually you give up entirely because it’s simply too much effort to go on.

Sound familiar?

Now, I’m not saying you should sit back and plan plan plan ’til you’re blue in the face. If you’ve been reading my Taking Action series, then you know that’s not the case.

But what I AM saying is this: It’s a lot easier to build something–whether it be a successful business or a Strawberry Shortcake scooter–when you follow the step-by-step directions or processes. A vital key to transforming your business is the understanding of the processes involved.

Now, I don’t want to make a big deal out of this and I know it’s nothing new to you BUT HEAR THIS;

Most people still do not do it or take it seriously. That’s why I want to show you some examples and talk a little about it.

I know… “What’s the big surprise Rich? This is not rocket science…”

Then why don’t people do it?

While working with our clients, talking with successful friends, and researching for our major new releases, we find that many of the people struggling know this but are STILL not creating systemized processes in their business.

You see, most people spend time creating their strategic objectives and big goals. Then objectives are created to hit the overall strategy of the company. Then they create objectives to support the bigger objective. Then they will develop all kinds of goals so that they can measure the company’s progress toward the objectives. And none of the goals will conflict with each other, right? The company’s plans are executed perfectly and everything is great. Just collect the checks because everything is all rosey and perfect. Huh?

Welcome to the real world. Most people create these in a vacuum.

The list of activities that need to take place in each process is what will determine if a business can meet its goals and objectives. It is an approach that will help assure reliable accomplishments and profitability. It’s an approach that will help assure controls are in place to alleviate risks.

You need to understand the processes that will efficiently drive your company forward. These processes play an important part in understanding the way the work is done, even if you THINK you know how it is done. It’s a great way to identify gaps or improvements, hidden steps you may not know about. It will guide your teams or outsourcers on how work is to be done which will improve efficiencies and reducing headaches. It is your “User Guide” or “Instructions” if you will.

Don’t confuse this with a business plan because that’s not want I am talking about.

Would you build a toy scooter without instructions? Would you build a house or building without a blueprint? Would you try to drive across the country without a road map? I mean, you could, but does it make sense to?

Well then why try to build a company without systemized processes no matter how big or small they are? Just think about that. How many people do you know that could NOT show you what they use as a guide?

So where exactly do you get those “how to build a business” blueprints? Well, we are about to release a whole series of them but for now, here is an example from our friends over at Cashmaps of an important tool like I am talking about. These process maps are not the “end-all-be-all” but they are to show you examples of processes that can help you get more done faster and in a reliable manner.

http://www.strategicprofits.com/cashmaps/free-samples

Imagine if you had something like this for all the major aspects in your business… How would that positively enhance your progress?

It would take guess work out, and unite teams. It would have clear paths so that you could measure progress effectively and monitor performance. Helps focus people on what matters the most. Identifies bottlenecks and constraints. Helps to streamline delegation. Helps to understand boundaries, and align business activities to objectives. Improves communications. Clearly identifies if your processes are working or not, and much more.

EVEN BETTER… what if someone did them for you, or handed the proven processes to you on a silver platter?

It’s true—processes and process maps helped me build my business and achieve massive success so quickly. I am going to share more with you in the future on this but for now… This “CashMap” (as I like to call it) is just an example of the kind of process maps I use to help systematize my business and accomplish my goals faster, easier, and with less effort.

When I need to know what to do next, I simply refer to my process maps and it tells me the exact step to take. No long winded rhetoric. No boring theory. Nothing but good, clean, to-the-point content that shoves me in the right direction.

So here’s a free sample process map for you. No opt-in necessary.

http://www.strategicprofits.com/cashmaps/free-samples

(One note–there is an opportunity on the download page to get another 3 of these maps for free as well, but you have to check out the link to find out more.)

I’m telling you–this is exactly one of the things you need to assemble a profitable income in the shortest time possible.

Talk about your easy-to-follow instructions…I wish someone told me this when I was just getting started.

To Higher Profits,
Rich

OH, and one last thing…after you download this Process map and look it over, come back here and tell me what you think in the comments below.

Sound cool?

As I was typing that blog post title, I couldn’t help but think about my daughter Ava…

She’s the typical 6 year old girl–energetic, vivacious, full of life…

…and a HUGE Hannah Montana fan.

Now, if you’ve got kids of your own (especially girls) then you know who Hannah Montana is.

She’s the biggest teen pop star in the world, with a top-rated Disney Channel TV show and sold out concerts nationwide–not to mention a marketing and merchandising blitz that’s simply staggering.

When I’m talking with budding entrepreneurs who have visions of running their own online or offline business, I always seem to hear the same thing:

“I know what I need to do, Rich…I just need to get off my butt and actually do it”.

But unfortunately, we all know what happens. Most never take the next step, and eventually give up on their dreams altogether.

Sound familiar? It does to me…

The report is being downloaded by thousands of online entrepreneurs as you read this.

I got to tell you, I’m really proud of it. Even more importantly, I can’t wait to hear what you think.

To be frank, I know many people loved the Attention Age Doctrine 1, but I was somewhat disappointed in myself and the Doctrine for not delivering on the problems I surfaced throughout it.

But now I am ecstatic because I know I have made up for my lapse. Like I said, I know many of you really loved it – but there’s a difference between what others say and how you feel about your own creation yourself.

In the Doctrine 2 I lay out the fastest, most certain approach to growing your business faster than you probably believe possible?

How Fast?

Take a look at Strategic Profits in our very first year we went from zero to over $7.5 million. Or how about clients who have gone from $180,000 a year to $4.7 million a year in just twelve short months.

And here’s the irony…. what you’ve been taught and what you’ve been studying has probably gotten in your way more than it’s helped. You’ll understand exactly what i mean after you’ve read page 80-81.

Yes, it’s longer than expected, but only because each and every page is pure gold for growing your business and I just didn’t feel right robbing you of any nugget.

So now it’s your turn, here’s what you can do for yourself, for your fellow business owners, and me.
1. Download the report right here
2. Spread the word – let your peers and fellow entrepreneurs know about it.
3. Comment below – let me know what you thought, and what you would like me to teach you over the next few weeks.
4. And last but not least (if you read the Doctrine 2 – you know why) please use the social bookmarking buttons immediately following this post. If you’ve never used any of these sites – it’s time to start, and it would be an honor for me to be your very first.
(the comments I love the most are the ones that are honest, and share the current obstacles you face in applying what you learned in the document)

As I wrote in the report, I’ve got a lot more killer tactics and strategies to share with you but in order to find out about them you are going to have to subscribe to our feed – (press the orange button or green button to the right of our logo).

Stay tuned, I’ll be posting here frequently – and I would hate for you to miss what’s coming.

To higher profits,
Rich Schefren
