MAY 29TH: Special Note From Rich Schefren:
HOLY MOLY... we did it again!
REPLAY #1 - Filled to CAPACITY
REPLAY #2 - Filled to CAPACITY
Just like the first time... we CRUSHED the capacity of the Teleseminar Replay tonight and not only had to have the Teleseminar company add more lines... but... we actually had to have them immediately schedule a SECOND back-to-back replay at 9PM ET to accommodate all of the marketers who registered!
CRAZY thing is...
We STILL weren't sure if we'd be able to accommodate everyone who registered. So, Brian, our resident Chief Operations Officer, was thankfully able to work his magic and convince the Teleseminar company to let us do a desperately needed THIRD REPLAY early this morning May 29th.
ONLY PROBLEM WAS... in the midst of all of the craziness going on with all of these replays, our VP of Marketing posted the WRONG TIME for the replay.
So, to make it up to you, we've just decided to give you the AUDIO RECORDING and WORD-FOR-WORD TRANSCRIPT of the entire Teleseminar so you can listen right now, instead of waiting for another replay or something.

CLICK HERETo Higher Profits,
RichP.S. If you were able to get on one of the replays tonight, I'd love hear what was your biggest takeaway from the call. Share your comments below.
*****
Whew...just trying to catch my breath after a whirlwind past couple of days...
As you may already know, I spent over 2 hours on the phone with a group of friends, business associates, and former coaching clients who are now world famous gurus.
And I'm proud to say that it was an unprecedented call for several different reasons--two of which I saw coming, and one of which was COMPLETELY unexpected.
Let me explain...
First of all, this call was completely the opposite of what most people expect on a teleseminar.
Usually, it's YOU with the problem and THEM offering a solution, right?
Well, in this case, we made a 180 degree turn--it was THEM with the problem instead of you. And it was my job to find out how they solved it.
My goal in this call was to delve into their biggest issues, going straight to the heart of the matter by simply asking each participant 4 quick questions:
- What was your biggest constraint to your business?
- How did you overcome that?
- What was the quantifiable results of your solution?
- What did you take away from it?
Then I moved on to the next guru in the queue. Which brings me to the second unprecedented occurrence...
A group of this magnitude and million-dollar firepower has never--EVER--been assembled for one call.
Usually, a couple of gurus will tag team on a call. And once in a while you'll see a third swoop in for a few minutes.
But THIRTEEN? At ONCE?
I mean, take a look at this lineup:
- Mike Filsaime
- Brad Fallon
- Jeff Walker
- Frank Kern
- Willie Crawford
- Joel Comm
- Liz Thompson
- John Carlton
- Yaro Starak
- Tellman Knudsen
- Michael Cheney
- Kevin Hogan
Pretty amazing, isn't it? But there they were, waiting patiently for their turn to spill their secrets.
And the answers they gave were MIND-BLOWING. For example...
Joel Comm revealed how playing to his strengths took him from a struggling one-man show to almost $10 million a year in profits...
Mike Filsaime talked about taking his $30,000 a month business and multiplying it by tenfold, hitting the $375,000 a month mark in less than a year by making one simple mindset shift (that you can easily implement today)...
Frank Kern recently got over a hump that plopped 2000 new customers into his lap in 65 minutes. And all came from one realization: "Your brain will lie to you." In the call, Frank hands you the warning signs to know if your brain is helping--or hurting--your business...
Brad Fallon shows us why his past business attempts all ended up going south, and how he discovered the key connection between strategy and execution that helped create not one--but two 8 figures-a-year businesses...
Tellman Knudson had a business plan that was flawed from the start. But once he and I focused on a single change in his strategy, Tellman turned a small coaching program into an $894,600 profit windfall...
Willie Crawford was trying to do everything himself (sound familiar?) and heading towards burnout. But after learning this secret technique, he began adding talented resources--and big time profits...
I floored Yaro Starak with my out-of-the-blue recommendation. But he reluctantly followed my lead and saw an immediate jump in his income. Get the whole story inside...
Fantastic stuff. And there's MANY more content-rich tidbits where those came from.
But as if that wasn't enough, now it gets even better...
Because you people decided to trump both of my accomplishments with something that completely took me by surprise.
See, we had scheduled the first call and we filled up those lines in a heartbeat.
"No biggie", we thought. "We'll just add a replay for those few hundred entrepreneurs who got shut out."
Those "few hundred"...seems almost comical to say that now--especially after what transpired next.
To put it bluntly, when the word went out about the replay, the floodgates didn't just open--they were BLOWN TO BITS.
If you saw my last Twitter post, you know I was up at 3:00 am last night, watching the registrations roll in at an average of 6-10 per minute.
That's up to 60 a minute, or 3600 an hour. At 3:00 am on a Monday night.
Yeah, that's what I thought too.
Needless to say, this was not only our biggest call ever...but by far the biggest call in the history of our industry.
But honestly, if it didn't do a thing for you...if it didn't help transform your mindset...if it didn't turn on the light and reveal the ugly, nasty thing that's holding you back from success...
Then it wasn't worth a dime.
So with that said, I want to know what you thought about this call....
Tell me everything--and I mean EVERYTHING. I want to know what you learned...when you had that "aha" moment...and how it's going to change your business.
And if I didn't deliver, then let me know that too.
Go ahead--fire with both barrels. I can take it.
In fact, feel free to post your comments below so everyone can see. I'll be monitoring them and chiming in from time to time, and you never know when I might shoot a message right back at you.
Sound good?
Great--thanks for joining me on the call, and I can't wait to see what your thoughts are...
To Higher Profits,
Rich

So…are you tweeting yet?
Because if you’re not, you’re missing out on one of the biggest opportunities to develop a closer relationship with your prospects and blow the roof off your sales numbers.
Let me explain…
A couple of years ago, when I wrote the Attention Age Doctrine 2, I told you that your future success would depend on things like building buzz, word-of-mouth marketing, the influence of networks, the rise of the Viral Visionary, and more.
I also warned you that, without a positive social media influence in your corner, you were treading on thin ice with your business (remember the Kryptonite Locks fiasco?)
And since then, the social marketing arena has virtually exploded. Today there’s a millions different ways to get a millions different people saying a million different things about you–hopefully all good.)
But there’s been nothing–NOTHING–like the Twitter phenomenon.
Twitter allows you to micro blog, using short, 140 character messages to stay in touch with your followers on a minute by minute basis.
Estimates vary, but there’s roughly 6 million users on Twitter–and more being added every second. In fact, my right hand man, Brian Johnson, finally jumped on the Twitter bandwagon just recently after much prodding from everyone in the office.
So what does this mean to you? One word–PROFITS.
Because Twitter gives you the opportunity to stay in touch with your audience like never before–without relying on them opening an email or going to your static blog.
Now you can instantly message your followers, handing them valuable tips while also giving them a glimpse into your day.
This fosters a stronger, more intimate relationship with your audience And when the time comes to launch a new product, the whole “do I trust this guy or don’t I” objection is non-existent.
And the result? More sales coming in faster and easier than ever!
I’ve been Tweeting for quite a while now, and I must say–it’s addicting. Once you fire off a few tweets and start seeing what’s going on with others in your business, you’ll find yourself hooked on this amazing technology very quickly.
But let’s face it–there’s LOTS of money to be made here. And I want to help you build your business by giving you a few simple tips and tools that can help maximize your profit potential with your followers…
1) Be transparent–TOTALLY transparent. Talk about your life, your family, your work. Be detailed and honest. Tell them about good days and bad. Show them what it’s like to be in your shoes. Your followers want to know about YOU–not just your products or services. So give them that insight. Then when the time comes to promote, you’ll find a much easier road in front of you.
2) Tweet early and often. One of the best ways to do this is to download a free desktop program called TweetDeck. This is a powerful way to stay on top of what’s happening with your followers (especially the ones you’re looking to JV with) and keep tabs on who’s talking about you–without logging in and out all the time.
3) Retweet constantly. Retweeting (or RT) is a fast, easy way to pass along something valuable you’ve found in another tweet by simply clicking on an icon. This is giving back in its purest form, a way to share the best information with your followers without asking for anything in return. And it WORKS. Retweet the good stuff and you’ll soon have a huge group of prospects who know, like and trust you.
Those are just a few things to help you grow your list of followers by leaps and bounds. But if you REALLY want to jump in with both feet and start making money fast using Twitter, you gotta get Joel Comm’s new book, “Twitter Power: How to Dominate Your Market One Tweet at a Time.”
This is the preeminent source for all things Twitter, from getting started to advanced techniques that will have your sales soaring and your bottom line stationed firmly in the black.
I’ve read practically everything out there on Twitter (you know me–information junkie) and this is by far the best resource for marketers and business owners.
Whether you’re just dipping your toes into the Twitter waters or you’re an established force in this arena, Joel’s book will kick-start your efforts and help you build a rabid fanbase who hang on your every word…and buy anything you put in front of them.
Go get your copy NOW!

A few months ago, I was in Vegas visiting with Eli Goldratt, the creator of the Theory Of Constraints.
And while I was there, I did a little gaming. Not much, but I like to play a few hands of blackjack from time to time.
Of course, to me that’s not where the real fun is when you’re sitting in a Vegas casino.
Nope–the REAL fun is watching the people around you…
Because there’s always that guy who’s not playing for fun. He’s playing for PROFIT.
You can spot them a mile away. Stern, furrowed brow…sweat on the upper lip…smoking like a chimney…and cursing like a sailor when the dealer tosses him a bust card.
Never ceases to amaze me how many people use gaming as a source of income. I mean, c’mon–how many new millionaires do you ever see leaving the Vegas airport?
None. It’s always bleary eyed tourists, fishing in their pockets and purses for just one more dollar to put into the slot machine…
And why? Because they’re dreaming of the big score. The one that’s going to put the over the top for good. The one that never comes.
Same goes with the online business world…
Like I mentioned years ago in my Internet Business Manifesto, I am struck by how almost everybody is approaching their business or starting their business in a manner that seals its fate from the very start.
They’re doomed to fail before they ever get off the ground. And it’s not because of a lack of desire. Or lack of effort. Or even lack of funds for that matter.
No–the REAL reason why most businesses fail is because of lack of fundamental business building knowledge.
It’s true–the overwhelming majority of people new to the online business world will fail in achieving their dreams even if they buy lots of products, study them religiously and work extremely hard.
So how do you get past that? Well, it’s not an easy fix.
But first, you need to follow these 4 simple steps:
Establish your vision and create a strategy
to achieve that vision. By doing this you transform yourself from an opportunity seeker (bad) to an
entrepreneur (good).
Stop being so tactic-minded and start looking for products and services that will support your strategy in achieving your vision-instead of spending thousands of dollars on products that collect dust on your shelf.
Do everything in your power to manage your time better. Time is your most valuable asset, and implementing systems and processes that add more time to your day will only make your business grow that much faster.
Finally, always remember that, in order to build a successful business you need these critical things: scalability and leverage.If this all sounds familiar, it should,. It’s the basis of the boat-rocking Internet Business Manifesto I released years ago. And it still holds true today.
But we’re only really scratching the surface here. There’s so much more to tell you, and I don’t want to turn this into manifesto in itself.
So what I’m going to do is hold a very special free call on business building this Thursday, January 15th, at 12 noon eastern.
You can register for that here.
Register For The Special Free Call 
Thursday, January 15 at Noon ESTMy “secret” guest will be a renowned author and business coach who has transformed many businesses, big and small, into healthy profit centers.
We’ll be talking about the challenges entrepreneurs will be facing in 2009, and how to overcome these challenges by utilizing solid business principles.
Plus, my “secret” special guest will also be revealing a time-tested proven model that practically guarantees business success.
A handful of online marketers have been running this method through the paces over the past several months, and the results have been MIND-BOGGLING. And now, they’re almost ready to reveal it to the world.
And you’ll get the first peek inside…but only if you join us on the call.
Reserve Your Spot
Thursday, January 15 at Noon ESTI’ll see you there!
To Higher Profits,
Rich
P.S. Some of the numbers these test marketers have been doing are simply astounding…
In fact, this proven process of accelerating your business and reaping major profits is boasting a solid 93% success rate.
That’s right–93% of the entrepreneurs who put it into action have made money. And the best part is, it didn’t take a lot of time or investment to make it happen.
But I will warn you–there’s VERY limited space on the call..
And I can assure you that you do NOT want to miss out on what I and my “secret” guest will be revealing.

Since we’re all going to be up to our ears in holiday stuff for the next 6 weeks or so, I thought we might just skip ahead to the new year’s resolution part…
Personally, it’s one of my favorite times of the year. Because I get to look back on all the success of the previous 365 days and look forward in anticipation to the next 365.
Hopefully, you’ve had as good of a 2008 as Strategic Profits has. We’ve seen record-breaking growth–and 2009 looks to be even MORE promising.
And I hope you also have some big plans ahead of you for 2009. I can’t wait to show you what’s up our sleeve…it’s really going to exciting.(This will be the first place you’ll hear about it, so make sure you check back often.)
But like the title of the post says, there are a few things you can do to virtually guarantee your success in 2009. And no, they have nothing to do with buying a lottery ticket.
The secret to achieving the wealth, freedom, and lifestyle of your dreams is to actually DO it. Taking action is the most important part of any process, and the biggest player in your success…or your failure.
Because let’s face it–the following scenario has happened to all of us at one time or another.
It’s like this…
–The new year hits, and we come out of the gate firing on all cylinders.
–We’ve got tons of ideas, stacks of big plans, and we’re ready to take on the world.
–But then it happens.
–Real life sets in once again. Stuff gets in the way…projects get derailed…launches become sidetracked.
–And before you can sing another chorus of “Auld Lang Syne”, it’s April. And you haven’t done ONE thing yet.
Ouch. Sound familiar?
I know it does for me. I went through this cycle numerous times. And I’m absolutely certain that I’m millions of dollars poorer for it today.
But there are a few things you can do to avoid this trap. Here’s 3 tips that can help you get moving in the right direction…
1) Shut Up: How many times have we spouted off about our ideas, only to never see them come to fruition?
I used to love talking about my plans, ideas, and strategies. But then I realized something: I enjoyed talking about it more than I usually enjoyed actually rolling up my sleeves and doing it.
Now, I hold back that urge to talk. Instead I channel that energy towards the act of doing. This increases my desire to get started, which is usually all it takes.
2) Reduce Shelf Life: Have you ever noticed ideas are more like milk then they are like wine? It’s true–the longer an idea sits around, the more stinky and worthless it becomes.
Because if you let an idea sit in your head without being acted on, it becomes weaker and less promising.
After a few days the details get hazy…and after a week it’s forgotten completely.That’s why we need to cut the time from idea to implementation. Act as soon as you can with whatever you have to begin with. Doesn’t matter whether it’s at the beginning, the middle, or the very end–just grab a piece of the puzzle and jump into it immediately.
If you start by making smaller decisions more quickly–without overanalyzing–you’ll gain momentum and REALLY start cranking away.
3. Dive In: I know it sounds simple, but when this is what it all boils down to.
If you need to write something, force yourself to sit down and write. Put pen to paper. Brainstorm. Doodle. By moving your hands you’ll stimulate the flow of ideas and inspire yourself.
If you need to create a video, sit down and start recording. Doesn’t matter what comes out, just as long as you press record and begin doing something. You’ll begin to see the possibilities.
Same goes with audio. Or product creation. Or whatever it is you’re trying to start on. Action must precede action, and the only way you’re going to see success with your project is to actually do something that moves you towards the final goal.
If you put these 3 things into practice, I can almost guarantee that you’ll come out a winner in 2009.
And by this time next year, instead of singing “Auld Lang Syne”…you’ll be singing “We’re In The Money…”
Sounds pretty sweet, doesn’t it?
To Higher Profits,
Rich
P.S. Right now, I want you to think of 3 things you’re going to do to kick off the new year right…
I’m talking about actionable tasks that will jump start your next project and get it moving from idea to implementation.
Got ‘em? Good–now write them down in comments below so everyone can see them.
Why? Because once they go from your head to actual words in a post, you’ll feel a stronger sense of commitment to getting them done.
Plus, they’ll be displayed in all their glory for every blog reader to see–including me.
Can you say “accountability”? ;)
So go do that now. And let’s take the first step towards your business achieving HUGE success in 2009!

I just finished up with several presentations at the Early To Rise Boot Camp this week…
What a fantastic event. Michael Masterson and MaryEllen Tribby really went over and above for this one. And I was honored to be one of the speakers.
As it usually happens with these types of seminars, most of the speakers gathered in a private suite to relax, catch up, and talk shop.
I was able to reconnect with old friends like Alex Mandossian and Yanik Silver, as well as get to know brilliant people like David Cross and Marc Charles a lot better. Plus, it’s always good to see Buck Rivzi and Brock Felt.
Now, I know what many of you are thinking, because I get it all the time when I mention these “inner sanctums”…
“Wow, Rich… I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in there!”
I can understand that. When you get some of the world’s greatest marketing and business building minds in one room, creative sparks tend to fly. And million dollar deals tend to be struck.
But I’ll let you in on a little secret…
Our private suite wasn’t where the REAL action was.
Nope–the meaty, juicy stuff was inside our COO Brian Johnson’s circle.
Let me explain…
If you read my “Man Behind The Curtain” post a week or two ago, you know Brian takes care of the business at Strategic Profits. He’s my number one guy.
And whenever there was a break at the event, Brian was huddled with a handful of his contemporaries, comparing notes on recent promotions, future launches, and current trends.
But all that took a back seat to the main topic of conversation–how to effectively run the day-to-day operations of a multi-million dollar business.
Because Brian opened the proverbial can of worms with this call.
Internet Business Secrets Revealed
A couple of weeks back, Brian got a few of the top operations people on the phone to discuss their most productive strategies for keeping these mega-empires running smoothly.
And the call was a major success. We had masses of people flooding the phone lines when it ran live, and even more when we offered replays last weekend.
It was so good, in fact, that many of his pals at the event were scampering to get an MP3 and transcript to the call (which he promptly gave them).
But then I got to thinking, “If we give it to them, it’s only fair that we make it available to everyone else for the asking.”
So here you go.
Listening to this call will be like stepping inside Brian’s huddle this week…
You’ll get the inside scoop on what it takes to REALLY make things happen–from the people who pull all the strings.
We’re talking the brains behind the scenes for leading gurus including Jay Abraham, Joel Comm, Eben Pagan, Mike Filsaime and more–all in one place and all spilling their biggest secrets for multiplying sales and creating a business that virtually runs itself.
It’s unlike anything call you’ve ever listened to before, and you can hear every word–with my compliments–right here.
I implore you–do NOT miss this. We’ll even throw in the transcript for free so you can highlight your favorite parts.
Sound good?
To Higher Profits,
Rich
P.S. Once you listen (or if you heard it earlier) let us know what you think by posting in the comments below…
I’d like to hear your biggest takeaways from the call along with one strategy you’ll be implementing into your own business immediately.
I’ll be monitoring your responses and chiming in myself from time to time. So make sure you post your comment below, okay?
Can’t wait to hear your input…

Gotta make this quick because we’re already into the GPS program and my coaching students are chomping at the bit to bust through another constraint…
But I wanted to point something out regarding my latest launch…something I never saw coming, but you could certainly learn from.
You see, my launch model is very simple. It’s all based around the free report loaded with solid, actionable content. This is the foundation of my business, going all the way back to the Manifesto. And I wasn’t about to deviate from that tried-and-true process.
So I went down the same road again. Only this time, we decided to toss another element into the mix–the 24 hour tele-webcast to promote the report release.
Now, I have to admit: I’m not terribly comfortable on camera. When it comes to writing or speaking them through a phone line, I have no problem. But when the cameras roll, I get a little antsy.
So needless to say, this was a HUGE step for me. I was going to be exposed to the public for 24 hours straight. And who knows what was going to transpire.
But then, something interesting happened…
We got WAY more viewers than we ever thought we would–averaging around 1000 at any given moment (even during the dead of night). And they just kept on comin’.
The video shot straight up to Ustream’s #1 position (beating McCain’s video), the live chat session was rolling by faster than I could read it, and I was inundated with questions.
However, they weren’t necessarily questions about the report. They were all over the map. And that confused me a little.
Because this broadcast was supposed to revolve around “The Uncertainty Syndrome: Entrepreneur’s Emergency”. We release it, people read it, then they ask me questions about it.
But we quickly saw that the broadcast was actually overshadowing the release. Yes, people were downloading the report, but not taking the time to read it thoroughly at that moment
They were more interested in having direct, one-on-one access to me via live webcast and getting their specific questions answered.
Whoops.
Of course, we seized the opportunity and ran with it. I answered every question you could possibly throw at me over the next 24 (actually 26 hours) and generated a gigantic wave of positive feedback.
And every few minutes, I prompted viewers to download and read my new report.
So what’s the takeaway here?
Simple. This is the perfect example of Silver Bullet #1 from “The Uncertainty Syndrome: Entrepreneur’s Emergency”…
It says, “Do it wrong fast, because action creates clarity.” And in this case, it was clear as a bell–the broadcast was the star of the moment here. And we needed to capitalize on it.
Now, that’s not to say the report didn’t do as it was supposed to. Backed by the broadcast and our affiliates, it caught fire within the next 24 hours and was downloaded nearly 30,000 times.
But there’s a lesson to be learned here…
Sometimes the best laid plans don’t turn out exactly like you think they will, and you need to adjust on the fly. This is how successful businesses work.
So don’t get caught up in following a set-in-stone plan, no matter what happens. Because opportunity may rise up from out of nowhere and stare you right in the face.
And when it does, you need to be ready to grab it by the throat and squeeze as hard as you can.
Got it?
Great–now back to my coaching students. I got some REALLY cool stuff in store for them today…
To Higher Profits,
Rich
P.S. Follow my lead here and set up your own web broadcast to promote your business.
It’s much easier than you think. All you need is a decent webcam and a free online service like Ustream, and you’re good to go.
Promote the broadcast using social media outlets in your niche, like blogs and forums. And don’t forget places like Twitter and Facebook, where thousands of your potential customers hang out.
You’d be surprised how many people will show up. We certainly were. ;)

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?
