    Not Your Typical Launch Hangover

    Posted in General, Market Attention, Strategy, Taking action, entrepreneur 113 Comments »

    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:

    The Rumors Are True: A New Report Is Coming…

    Posted in Blog, General, Make Money Online, News, Strategy, Taking action 87 Comments »

    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.

    Our strict privacy policy keeps your email address 100% safe & secure.

    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

    P.S. As you'll see in the video above, the report is only the tip of the iceberg...

    In September, we're going to change the way you do business online (and offline for that matter) with a system that's going to blow everything else out of the water.

    It's true--everything you've learned so far, all the dusty old tactics and tired, beaten-to-death methods are history.

    It's a whole new world out there...one brimming with tremendous opportunity for unprecedented wealth, success, and freedom...and you're going to be among the first to capitalize on it.

    I can't wait until you see what I've got for you. In the meantime, want to speculate?

    Because you can in the comments below. Tell me what you think is inside this breakthrough new system, and I'll give you the hot-warm-cold signs.

    Go ahead--tell me what you're thinking!

    Taking Action: Rich Schefren Talks With David Meerman Scott About The New Rules Of Marketing And PR

    Posted in Effectiveness, Taking action 29 Comments »

    Quick--what's the best selling marketing book on Amazon for the past 18 months or so?

    Well, if you guessed "The New Rules Of Marketing And PR" by David Meerman Scott, you'd be right. This book is truly one of my favorites, because it breaks down some complicated theories to a simple-to-understand level that anyone can immediately implement into their marketing and business building strategy. No kidding--once you finish this book, you'll be all fired up to take action and start putting these principles into play. I had a recent chat with David about his book, and he answered some big questions for me, such as...
    • How does PR fit into today's latest marketing techniques?

    • How do you distinguish between what to give away for free and what to hold "close to the vest"?

    • Are requiring opt-ins a master stroke...or a major mistake?

    • Should I think of myself as a marketer--or publisher?

    • What are the steps needed to take action and get started right away?

    Plus TONS more. And you can get it all right here.

    Download Rich Schefren's Conversation with David Meerman Scott MP3

    No charge. No registration required. Just a cool little freebie to help you along in your "taking action" journey. So do me a favor--listen closely to the interview. Pay attention to what David is saying. The man knows his stuff. And afterwards, tell me what you thought of the interview in the comments below, okay? To Higher Profits, Rich P.S. During this interview, David gave me a brilliant idea... We're talking angels singing, heavens opening, light shining through the clouds, the whole shebang. This mind-boggling approach is something I'll be using for a MONSTER project in the upcoming months. And I can say this with all certainty: It's going to turn internet marketing on its ear. So look for that soon. But in the meantime, download the audio, print out the transcript, take copious notes, and most of all--TAKE ACTION ON WHAT YOU LEARN. It will change your life.

    The Most Powerful Marketing Strategy Ever

    Posted in Taking action 36 Comments »

    Today, I'm going to detour from the Taking Action series a little and ask you to take a different sort of action...

    Lots of people ask me what the secret to my success is. And there's really no "one thing" that made it all happen. It's more of a mixture of things.

    But there is one strategy that's played a MAJOR part in my success...one that's consistently put millions of dollars in my pocket with very little effort.

    Taking Action: The Tiger Woods Secret

    Tiger Woods Kissing US Open Golf Championship Trophy

    I don't know if you were watching any of the U.S. Open golf tournament recently, but that Tiger Woods is something else...

    Even if you're not a golf fan (and I'm not really) you have to admire the kid. He's usually performing at a level that's simply unheard of in the golf world.

    Key word there is "usually". Because during this tournament, Tiger didn't have his "A" game.

    Hannah Montanna

    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.

    Taking Action: The Importance of Being Urgent

    Posted in Taking action 19 Comments »

    There's a lot of different personalities in the "guru" business...

    I've met passive-aggressives, dependents, narcissists, anti-socials, paranoids, obsessive-compulsives, and even the occasional masochist. (Don't ask--I'm not naming names.) ;)

    But even though the personalities are different, there's one thread that runs common among every successful internet marketer and business owner I've come in contact with.

    A sense of urgency.

    Successful entrepreneurs look at practically every moment of every day like a challenge--and they attack it accordingly. This high need for achievement motivates them to turn their ideas into action.

    Are You A Dreamer…Or A Doer?

    Posted in Taking action 12 Comments »

    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...
