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.
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:

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!
Silly question, right?
Well, before you dismiss the question.... let me ask you this:
um...ah...um... Yeah, I know... It was on the tip of your tongue.
The sad truth is - most online marketers can more accurately explain what a medical doctor is than an entrepreneur, even though they aspire to be one.
The fallout from this lack of clarity is the primary reason why so many wanna-be entrepreneurs end up broke, frustrated, and confused. More to the point... they end up opportunity-seekers, the polar opposite of strategic entrepreneurs.
Continue reading Are You Really An Entrepreneur?Lots of marketers (more than I ever expected!) seem to be fascinated with me, my daily routine, and how I live my life.
I am not.
That's not fake humility either. It seems to me I’m an ordinary entrepreneur. I live an interesting (but not insanely interesting) life. I just happen to have the uncanny knack to synthesize oodles of information, spot the upcoming trends and pinpoint all of it with laser focus to grow businesses fast.
Still, it seems many online marketers have a tendency to "glorify" me. A few others seem to consider me the evil mastermind behind everything that’s bad in internet marketing.
Truth be told, I am not that amazing, nor that wicked.
But, people are curious about me and so I thought I would invite you to come along with me to an incredible web 2.0 event happening in Texas right now… SXSW.
