…. You’ve gotta ask yourself a question: “Do I feel lucky?”

If you’re a movie buff, then you recognize those immortal words of Clint Eastwood from “Dirty Harry”.

It was a chilling sight…the sneering face of Eastwood staring down the barrel of a .44 Magnum, as the criminal pondered his choices (which ultimately would be the last thing he ever did).

But I bring this to mind because of a discussion Brian and I were just having about “being lucky.”

Have you ever known somebody who seems to have the best luck in the world?

It’s like everything they touch turns to gold. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s in their business affairs or their personal life, they just seem to have luck on their side all the time.

I can add myself to that list. Because I consider myself EXTREMELY lucky.

I’ve built an 8 figure business, married the woman of my dreams, and have 2 beautiful daughters who are healthy and happy.

And along the way, I’ve had lots of lucky breaks–things that just sort of “happened” which ultimately resulted in me becoming more successful.

Business and Success Coach Tom McCarthy knows all about luck, He’s been studying it for years and claims that there’s an actual science to being lucky.

We’ll tell you more about Tom’s findings later, but for right now I want to give you 3 things that have always helped me increase my luck:

1) Get Out There: I’ve found that luck stems mostly from opportunities, and the more you put yourself in front of others, the more opportunities you’ll have. So don’t be an extrovert. Meet new people. Shake their hands. Look them in the eye and find out more about them. This will increase your luck exponentially.

2) Go With Your Gut: I can’t count how many times I’ve made an important decision based on a gut feeling and it’s turned out to be the right one. You should be doing the same. Follow your instincts and go with what you feel is correct. More often than not, you’ll see your luck increase.

3) Grab The Silver Lining: The most successful people I know don’t wallow in their misery when their luck goes sour. They find the best in the situation and focus on that. And guess what? They always turn their fortunes completely around very quickly. You can do the same.

That’s a few of the strategies I use to bring better luck to my life. But what about you?

What is your definition of “luck”?

Is it mere coincidence, a supernatural happenstance, or something else entirely?

Why is it that some people seem to be lucky in everything while others have no luck at all?

And how can you change your luck from pitiful to prosperous?

I want to know how luck has affected your life, both personally and professionally.

Tell me your take on this subject, and why (or why not) it’s important to your success. Post your comments below and let’s see if we can uncover the mysteries of good fortune.

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts…

To Higher Profits,

Rich

P.S. There’s LOTS of cool things happening here at Strategic Profits this summer, and the office is virtually buzzing with activity.

Some of these things you’ll be hearing about very soon, so keep an eye out for more emails and blog posts from me.

In the meantime, answer those 4 questions in the comments below and let’s hear what you have to say about the mystery of good luck.

Imagine the scene…

…if 12 of the top internet marketing gurus stripped down to bare all.

Yikes!

Somehow I don’t think the internet marketing world would ever be the same again.

Fortunately, they all kept their clothes on… but bared it all during a rare, one-of-a-kind Teleseminar about how they each overcame their biggest business hurdle, obstacle or constraint and have since gone on to make millions online.

And, if you’re up for it, I want to invite you to listen-in to a one-time replay of this killer Teleseminar this Thursday night.

This is an ULTRA-RARE opportunity for you to learn from the struggles and frustrations of some of the biggest names in internet marketing.

And, even more important: it’s an opportunity for you to learn exactly what they each did to break-free from their constraint and overcome their obstacle… so you can follow in their footsteps in your own business.

Please keep in mind:

This is NOT your typical Teleseminar about traffic, conversions, PPC, CPA, or anything else like that.

I simply got 12 of the top online marketers on the phone and asked them 4 simple, yet profound questions:

QUESTION #1: What was your biggest constraint to your business?

QUESTION #2: How did you overcome that?

QUESTION #3: What was the quantifiable results of your solution?

QUESTION #4: What did you take away from it?

And, I think you’ll find, the answers they shared are some of the most profound content you’ll hear anywhere about REALLY being successful online.

If there’s anything you’re struggling with right now in your business, this Teleseminar should be a must for you.

When you’re done listening to this rare Teleseminar, you’ll understand how the top internet marketers were able to find and overcome their big obstacle, roadblock, or constraint – so you can do the same for yourself!

Okay, okay…I get it.

Ever since the tremendous call we had on Thursday with the Formula Five team, I’ve been inundated with questions like,

"When is this thing going live?"
"What does it entail?"
"How many packages are being sold?"
"Is there a time limit on the offer?"

And this, more than any other question,

"What’s the surprise announcement you mentioned on the call?"

Well, I was going to keep it under wraps until we did Part Two of the call on Monday (which you should register for RIGHT NOW before all the lines get filled up).

But then, after some discussions with the Strategic Profits team, I decided to go ahead and pull back the curtain on what we have in store for you come Tuesday at noon eastern time.

So here goes…

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:

Okay, time to come clean…

It’s been rumored all over the internet, I’ve been teasing you about it for a while, and I’ve even let it slip in a few emails and blog posts.

But what you’re hearing is true–there’s a new report on the way.

Watch this video and see if it whets your appetite…

Now, I must tell you: this report is very unique from the others…

Because the previous reports only took me a few weeks, maybe a month at most to put together. All the info was upstairs–I just had to spill it out on paper.

But this one was totally the opposite. In fact, it’s been coming together, slowly but surely, for almost a year now.

See, I started noticing certain things about our business…certain “rules” that used to apply but don’t anymore.

And with each discovery, I would tuck it away in the back of my head, thinking “That’s something I need to change in my business right away and tell my blog readers about.”

But then something interesting happened. To put it into disc jockey lingo, “the hits just kept on comin’.”

As I went on, more and more discrepancies started popping up…significant differences in how things used to work and how they work now.

And we’re not talking about subtle changes. We’re talking MAJOR shifts in business building strategy.

These are died-in-the-wool principles and standards that are still revered as age-old gospel today…but in reality, aren’t worth the paper they’re written on.

So as the “back of my head” began to get a little overcrowded, I began jotting them down into my notes.

And before I knew it, I had the makings of a KILLER report.

Now, I knew I had to get all this down as quickly as possible in order to get the word out to thousands of entrepreneurs who were still following the old paths.

And to be honest, there was no way to get it done around the office. Too many distractions.

So I got away from it all–and I mean GOT AWAY–jetting to the remote wilderness of the Canadian North.

I spent the next 3 weeks with no phone line, no internet, and nothing to lure me from my task at hand.

And when I finally returned to Delray Beach (tired, unshaven, and resembling Grizzly Adams), I was completely tapped out mentally–but BURSTING at the seams to show everyone what I had on my laptop.

Right now, I’m still putting the final tweaks and edits on this baby (first draft came in at 380 pages but the final report will be slimed down to the best parts…talk about your mother of all brain dumps).

And the best part is, you’ll be the first to see it.

That’s correct–when I unleash this report on the world, everyone on my lists will be the first in line to get their hands on a copy.

I’ll send out an email with a link to the download page.

So if you’re NOT on one of my lists (and why aren’t you?) and you want to be among the first to see what all the fuss is about, then go here NOW and sign up immediately.

Because what’s inside my newest free offering is unlike anything you’ve seen before. And it very well could mean the difference between success and failure for your business.

Don’t mean to scare you, but it’s true. In fact, some of these discoveries scared ME. Because I was buying into this baloney just like everyone else.

But I immediately put some processes in place to eliminate what was holding me back from doubling or even tripling my bottom line. And I began to move forward on the cusp of the most exciting trends to hit our marketplace since the web was born.

And it’s already paying off in a BIG way (more on that later).

So stay tuned…because pretty soon, things are going to get REALLY interesting around here.

Consider yourself warned. ;)

To Higher Profits,

Rich
