I really don’t know what’s gotten into me lately…

I really don’t know what’s gotten into me lately…

I guess it could be
Â
—the Christmas spirit,
—the lack of sleep, or…
—the high from another home-run launch.
Â
Whatever it is, I better get control of it - fast, because I just agreed to give away:
Â
ANOTHER $900,000 WORTH OF BONUSES!
Â
Here’s the deal:
Â
We’ve been getting emails, phone calls, and pleas from one heart broken
client after another because they missed out on the bonuses they
desperately wanted.
Â
It just doesn’t seem right to have so many clients depressed when they
should be delighted. Heck, it’s Christmas and you guys are making me
feel like scrooge!
Â
So here’s what I am going to do:
Â
I’m calling an audible… the launch rules have changed.
Â
My mindmaps and the free seat at our seminar are for every single client
who gets their order in before the 24 hour mark. So, if you were one of
the many clients that called my office to complain - I heard you loud and clear.
Â
That means: reserve your Business Acceleration program before 12 noon
tomorrow (EST) or if you already did - you are guaranteed a copy of
my personal mindmaps and a seat at our next block buster seminar.
Â
So my friend, it’s do or die time…
Â

Â
Just so we’re clear - I won’t be as generous the next time around.
Â
So, if you haven’t reserved your copy yet and you are sincere (and honest)
in your desire to be the leader of your market, then the Business Acceleration
Program will change your personal and business life.
Â
How can I be so sure? Just ask my clients.

Remember, the clock is ticking…and this time it won’t be reset.

Wanna Kill A Couple Of Birds?

Rich Schefren here from Strategic Profits with a quick story from college…

No, it doesn’t involve frat house keggers or spring break hedonism. I never took part in those type of activities.

OWWW! (Wife punches me in the arm) Okay, okay…maybe on a RARE occasion did I dabble in such debauchery.

But this story has nothing to do with partying. It’s about a term paper.

Now, I don’t know about you, but I’d rather pull one of my own teeth (sans anesthesia) than write a term paper.
It’s an excruciating experience.

But I just didn’t have one paper due. I had TWO. In separate classes. Within a day or two of each other.

Talk about your nightmares…

So I started thinking…I could spend the next 2 weeks in the library, nose firmly planted in some dusty old reference book that smelled like mold, scribbling notes and making copies and hating every minute of it…

Or I could come up with an easier way. A faster way.
And a more efficient way.

Cheating? Nah. That’s not what I’m about.

Leveraging? Now that’s another story…the kind that kills two birds with one stone.

I began to look at the 2 classes–Philosophy and Comparative Literature–more closely. And I realized that there was some overlap in material.

Ding ding ding.

So I decided to write one paper for both classes. That would save me an enormous amount of time, energy, and stress–PLUS each professor would get exactly what they wanted.

Long story short, I hit the books, cranked out a killer paper, and got a 4.0 in both classes. And it took me half the time and half the effort as it normally would have.

All because of leverage and scale.

Seeing any similarities to your internet business?

Because if you’re working too hard to achieve too little, you’re not leveraging yourself properly.

Look, most internet marketing newcomers believe that the key to the treasure chest lies in gaining as much knowledge as possible.

So they chase every product that comes down the line, stockpiling ebooks and software and training manuals and CDs and DVDs…all the time thinking, “this will be the ONE that puts me over the top.”

But the only thing these products do is put you in a state of confusion.

The secret is this…if you want to hit the hourly rate goal that we talked about a couple of emails ago, you need more leverage, not more knowledge.

So how do you increase leverage? In 3 steps…

–Isolate those activities that generate more income than it costs to get them done.
–Increase one or more of the variables in your profit producing formulas (Did I lose you here? Scroll down to the link, get the Manifesto, and turn to page 21).
–Develop and implement a business plan that creates leverage through tight focus and proper strategy.

Ick. Sounds like work doesn’t it? Well, to a certain degree, it is.

But I’ll tell you this much…if you start leveraging your business building efforts, you’re going to work a LOT less and make a LOT more.

You’ll have more time for your family, for your friends, and for yourself–all while the business hums along, making money.

But you gotta have the systems in place. And you gotta know where to start.

And I can help you with that.

Next time, we’ll talk about outsourcing, and how it can elevate your business to all new levels in a very short time.

Until then, think about ways you can use leverage and scale in your business. And if you need another copy of the Internet Business Manifesto, grab one here:

http://www.strategicprofits.com/profitvault/vault.htm

Talk again soon…

Rich

P.S. I’ve received a ton of email from people when have changed their entire business focus because of the information inside the Manifesto.

And that’s cool. The whole purpose was to help people get on track to making money instead of spinning their wheels.

But that’s only the first step. To really get to the core of your business and generate maximum profits in minimum time, you need someone there to guide your way and keep you from straying from the path.

I don’t want to say anything more now, because this email has gone on long enough. But if you want to ditch your current situation and start building a business that’s going to make you 6…7…even 8 figures a year, then you need to check out my next message.

Because it’s a doozy. ;)

If you buy… he’ll pay almost half

If you’d like to get The Business Acceleration for almost half it’s current price,
then this you need to read this email ASAP!

Here’s what this is all about…

As you know the end of the year is rapidly approaching.
Everyone is gearing up for the holidays. Last minute shopping, traveling to
be with family or friends, and all the misc. tasks that come along with the
holiday season.

But, for all of us in our own small businesses - we have some other tasks
to wrap up before the year ends.

If your an entrepreneur, hopefully you’ve already taken care of:

-your strategy for 2008
-your marketing plan for 2008
-gifts for your most important clients, affiliates, and partners -funding your

IRA or other retirement accounts -and lastly closing your fiscal books for 2007.
it’s that last point I want to talk to you about, your fiscal year wrap up.

You see, savvy business owners know they’ve got just a few more days.

They know their fate is sealed on December 31. And procrastinating right now
would cost them a small fortune.

 That leads me to the mixed feedback I’ve been receiving lately. It’s been
a firestorm… in the past two days alone I’ve already received thousands
of emails about our latest release.

The most common subject is from excited entrepreneurs who got our
program and can’t wait  to get started.

The second most popular subject has been about the timing of the release.

And I’ve been getting very conflicted opinions about it. It’s fascinating because
these emails could be broken out into 2 camps. Both polar opposites from
the other.

On one side - people are complaining that it’s the holiday season and buying
a course right now wasn’t in their original plans. But it’s such an amazing
program I’ve literally forced them to change their holiday plans.

On the other side - savvy business owners are thanking me because by ordering
the program now they can take the write off in 2007, but profit from it during
2008 and beyond.
And that my friend is the point of this email.
We’re coming down the home-stretch and the course isn’t going to be available
much longer. We still have a few copies left, and I want to urge you to reserve
your copy right now before we are forced to pull the page down.

You see, even though most mail their taxes in April - what you owe or what you get
back is based on the activity of 2007. Which means you only have a few days to
shelter any income you’ve made into assets that will translate into greater profits
in the coming year.

Just so we’re clear… I’m not talking about some quasi-legal loophole or some
criminal type of write-off. Nope, not in the slightest.

If you order your copy now you get a tax friendly deduction that you’ll appreciate
when April rolls around…

http://www.strategicprofits.com/bap/bap.html

Just to recap:

Your first savings is  because we’ve priced the first 1,000 copies of my
Business Acceleration Program $3,000 below the regular retail price of
$4,997: Just $1,997.

And thanks to the Uncle Sam, you get the whole shebang ­ 20 video DVDs,Â
28 audio CDs, more than 1,000 printed pages of profit-exploding dynamite.

Thousands of strategies, tactics and tools to explode your online profits
from business building superstars Jay Abraham, Clayton Makepeace,
Frank Kern, Mike Filsaime, Jeff Walker, me, and many other names you’d
certainly recognize.

http://www.strategicprofits.com/bap/bap.html

Plus, another $15,669 of bonuses that will simply blow your mind.
And you get it all  - not for $4,997… not for $1,997… but depending on
your tax bracket as low as $1,298.95!

http://www.strategicprofits.com/bap/bap.html

 So what are you waiting for?  Trust me, an opportunity like this only
comes around once a year at best. Reserve your course now.

Ouch–That Hurts!

it’s Rich Schefren from Strategic Profits, and this is probably going to sting a little, but I have to ask you one question…

How many hours did you work in your internet business today?

Now, if you’re juggling a full time day job and trying to build your business in the off hours, you might say one or two.

But if you’re a full blown internet marketer, you’re most likely puffing out your chest and crowing, “Well Rich, I worked a full 6 hours in my business today.
Worked darn hard, too…look at this paper cut I got.”

Okay, maybe I’m pulling your leg a bit. But I’m trying to make a point here..one that is probably going to hurt…

And here goes…you didn’t do SQUAT today.

<bracing for things to be thrown at me>

Sorry, but it’s probably true. No matter how many hours you spend “working” on generating profits for your internet business, you spend considerably more doing non-productive activities.

So what’s non-productive? Chatting with friends, reading an ebook, talking on the phone, running to the kitchen for a snack, surfing the web, getting the mail…

And then there’s the mother of all non-productive activities…the one that sucks the time from our day like a brand new Hoover with a jet engine attached…

…the one you’re doing right now.

(Ouch–that even hurt me a little.).

Think it’s different for other business owners? Think again. One study of Fortune 500 CEOs estimated that they only spend 28-38 minutes a day actually doing something that directly generates profits.

28-38 minutes. No wonder our economy is so screwed up.

So how do you overcome this?

Well, my buddy Alex Mandossian revealed his secret for getting maximum efficiency out of the “revenue generating hours”, as he likes to call them.

It’s simple, it’s easy, and it works like a charm.
Here’s what you do…

–Get an egg timer. You know, the little white ones you can buy for a couple bucks at Wal Mart.

–Put it on your desk and set it for an hour.

–Until that timer goes off, focus on nothing but profit building. Don’t answer the phone, don’t check email, don’t look at your stats, don’t talk to your family, don’t even get up to go to the bathroom.

Use this time to bear down and really get some stuff done, instead of fooling yourself that you’re working while surfing YouTube for hit-in-the-crotch videos.

(You know who you are…) ;)

You’ll be amazed at how much you can get finished without distractions. And when that timer goes off, you’ll have a genuine sense of accomplishment instead of “Oh well…I guess I’ll do that tomorrow.”

I immediately started doing this, and was completely blown away by how much more productive I was. It really made a significant difference in my daily goals, my business goals, and most of all–my PROFIT goals.

And all because of a simple little egg timer.

Do this 2-4 times a day at different intervals and see for yourself what happens. One tip: don’t run a string of one hour nose-to-the-grindstone sessions together–you’ll only burn yourself out.

Then after you take care of the productive hours, you can go ahead and do all the other stuff. Why not? You deserve it!

Now…that didn’t hurt too badly, did it?

Next time, we’ll touch on creating scale in your business. And no, I’m not going to pitch you my latest weight loss product. ;)

Talk soon…

Rich

P.S. Your focus during those 1 hour productivity sessions should be achieving the target figure you came up with after utilizing the formula from my Internet Business Manifesto.

You should have this dollar amount written down and pasted in your office where you can see it, so you can direct every effort towards meeting that goal.

If you missed the last message and am wondering what I’m talking about, get your copy of the Manifesto now.

Video News: These Rookies Pile up 8 figures using Tollgate Method

I’ve only got a moment but there’s
some important news that I want to
alert you to.

Here’s what’s up:

There has been so much “grass roots” support for the last two videos that
Bob Serling and Mike Long published concerning Bob’s new rookie-friendly
business system that has folks freaking out - that they’ve decided to give
us even more.

****************************************
This Is Really Good News For You:
****************************************

Here’s why this is good news:

Good news item #1 Bob Serling has agreed to let Mike Long release the third “Tollgate Method” video where Mike grills Bob on his millionaire licensing methods.
Â
Here’s just some of what’s included in this third video:

- The reason that Bob can show you
the whole  Tollgate thing without worrying the opportunity will dry up (This news is sure to inspire a Tollgate “gold rush” when folks hear about it.) 1:20

 - Case study: The behind-the-scenes story from Mike’s recent Mind of Mystery Tollgate launch - which built a 7-figure business, nearly overnight.
(And the “secret sauce” that you can look for that made the whole thing work like crazy.) 2:32

 - The hidden money that is just sitting around you that almost nobody knows about. (If you take advantage of this secret you’re really going to have an unfair advantage.)  4:32

 - The “stagnant product opportunity” - once you know how to see things this way you gain lots of leverage.  (This is like business x-ray vision because you get to look for the one factor amongst thousands that REALLY matters.) 5:58

 - What to do when things start going too well.
(This little move helped us build a million dollar brand - by doing less.) 7:45

And much much more.

Plus there’s nothing to buy - so go do it now.
(But come back and read the rest when you’re done.)

http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=7Y00C&m=1aZ6dX4o7AFs3z&b=uoo6_8BsKJtj0em1HBG3QQ

Here’s more good news:

*******************************
New V-Book Coming Soon
*******************************

Good news item #2:

Bob Serling has asked Mike to produce a new V-book for everyone who has watched these videos.

What’s a V-book?

A V-book is a new way of getting great content that Mike Long invented.  It combines videos and an ebook format to give you a totally different learning and enjoyment experience.

Bob was so knocked out when he saw this powerful new format, he insisted Mike create one that delivers even more nuts-and-bolts details on his powerful licensing strategies.

Here’s what this v-book is about:

************
Video Proof
************

This is what Bob had to say about it:

” I’ve got a number of videos interviews I’ve recorded showing ordinary business rookies piling up unbelievable success using the Tollgate method and six other millionaire licensing methods.

Here’s who you’ll meet:

 -You’ll meet Rob,  a novice who took a 20 minute lesson and turned around the same day to make more than $50,000 - UP FRONT - with a total of about two hours worth of work.

- You’ll meet Pam, who took one easy technique from Bob and turned it into 4 new cars, several vacations - but that’s nothing compared to this other piece of advice she got from Bob…

- You’ll meet Tessa, an Australian woman who was down on her luck until she leveraged this licensing proven marketing strategy of Bob’s to blast herself to the forefront of this growing industry - and she did it all without any big investment, experience, list or any head start.

 - You’ll meet Jessica, a 23 year old newbie who helped put together a $400,000 business in just a few weeks following my own personalized version of the Tollgate method. (She pulled in over 40 grand for her part - and only hours worth of work.)

 - You’ll meet Hakim, a tollgate rookie who made $25 MILLION dollars with his very first deal.  Plus you’ll meet his nineteen year old son who put together
a3 Million dollar deal just a few months later.

And many many others.

**************************
They Are Just Like You
***************************

These ordinary folks - ranging from a 19 year old to folks who just got started in their sixties - and they started without a list, a bunch of investment capital, a product, a web site, special contacts or circumstances.

Guys and girls, all ages, all backgrounds - folks from all over the world.

************************************
Folks Often Make This Mistake
************************************

And all of these folks started by being confused by this whole Licensing proven marketing campaigns thing.

They thought it was complicated - but then they discovered that it’s actually very simple.  “Bob’s licensing system makes it easy” is what you’ll hear over and over again from a wide range of people in these interviews.

So this V-book is basically going to blow the lid off of how these business rookies have had such massive success. Plus, it’s going to give you a powerful bonus - a look inside of the 14-million dollar day launch that Mike Long was wrapped up in.

These guys are pulling out all the stops on this one!

*******************************************************
Mark Your Calendar: Thursday December 27th
*******************************************************

The V-book comes out Thursday, December 27th.

Ok, that’s it!  Talk to you in a few days - when I remind you about this new V-book.

Does Mike Filsaime do ML.M ? , I bet the answer will suprise you Im…

I know.. I know…

If you are like me, you gave up on N.etwork Marketing because it was

- Hard Work
- Tough to talk to people
- and frankly embarrassing

Come on, Right?

Hey, I will admit, I was in a few “M.LM’s” over the years.

But what you may NOT know, is I am (an have been) for the last few years, currently involved in a few ONLINE Network Marketing programs…

Did you know, I am a customer in Melaleuca, Ameriplan, Website.ws, SuccessUniversity.com , Agel, VM Direct, and even Mona Vie.

What you may not know is, I make over $100,000 per year in these organizations. Now, there are some that I barley break even (or even lose money, but I love the products and I am more of a customer) yet other I do very well in.

In fact, with one of them, I was recently awarded top recruiter in Dallas Texas, by recruiting more people in one month than nearly anyone else in the organization.

Over the years, I have been very HARSH on the industry…

I will admit it, I even RIP it in my sales letters.

Why? Because of the HUGE sacristy mind set of many of the people in the “top levels” of the companies and even some of the trainers.

(Trust me, even now we are even getting what you might want to call HATE mail.)

Why… The are scared.

I know, because I have been using the Internet to make money with these programs and I barley even try. It is simple really…

… I just leverage the Internet.

But I NEVER told people how I did it because that industry was not ready to hear it. And when I talked about it, I had people in the companies report me as if what I was doing was not “Fair”

So you know what.. I kept my feelings to myself and went my merry way and promoted products I liked and shared the message.

A short while back, I met a person that was 100% OPPOSITE of everything I hated about the industry (M.LM)

Her name was Ellie Drake. She knew the Internet was powerful and she was one of the few people that actually

- Made a fortune in M.LM
- Taught many people to do the same
- Uses the Internet to leverage her success principles.

Now, I could not understand for YEARS… why with:
- GOOD PRODUCTS
- GOOD marketing Plans
- Good people around you….

…time and time again I see people FAIL in N.etwork Marketing.

And the truth is THIS…

*** What many of the so called “EXPERTS” are teaching is older than dirt!

3 Foot rules, buying over priced on qualified leads, ra-ra meetings.

These DINOSAURS do NOT know how to use the Internet AND (trust me, remember the HATE mail and I told you about) they are trying to ACTUALLY STOP people from hearing the truth.

There are people that have basically RAGED WAR against what Ellie and I are teaching.

There scarcity mentality as rushing like mad (no joke) to tell their “upline and downlines” NOT to

-Read our reports
- Get on the call

One person told their list if they promote a 2 tier affiliate program they would be BANNED from their company and lose their checks!!???

SACRISTY MENTALITY at its worst and it was everything I hated about the industry.

That is why Ellie is ready to take the heat… boy is she a trooper, because she is ready, along with me, to expose what the industry is actually trying to hold back from you, and we are ready to teach people how to MERGE the great things of N.etowrk Marketing with the ease and RAW power of Internet Marketing…

No, MOST of you on my list are saying “Duh.., Mike I already know Internet Marketing works..”

…but we are going to show you how it works with N.etwrok Marketing…

And this is not a secret. There are actually some VERY VERY successful people that have also used the Internet to grow HUGE organizations an make SIX and SEVEN figures online.

But like I said, there are people in that industry that are actually BULLYING people that try to teach the NOUVEAU style of marketing…

Well, there day has come…

Ellie and I are taking a bit of heat. (Mostly Ellie I could care less.
But in that industry, some of the “Experts” are running scared calling everyone they know to tell people that she is bad for the industry.

Well… TUESDAY, we BLOW the doors of the old.

Remember the commercial with BIG BLUE when Apple came out with the Macitosh in 1984?

Expect the same thing to happen on the call we are doing…

I URGE you to be part of it.

A blizzard of questions - a ton of answers…

…don’t know if you’ve noticed, but my blog is lighting up like a Christmas tree. 

My inbox is jammed to overflowing too – and my Business Acceleration Program
is the reason.

I’ve honestly never seen anything like it:
Seems thousands of people have questions – important questions about my
Business Acceleration Program – far more questions than with any other product
I’ve ever created.

In fact, we’re getting so many inquiries, it just wouldn’t seem right to release my
Business Acceleration Program tomorrow.  With only one thousand copies available,
it wouldn’t be fair to begin taking orders until I’ve fully satisfied everyone’s curiosity.

So I’ve I’ve decided to…(want to hear more?  Go to my blog)

Have You Been Duped?

Justin Deiter here, and I’m getting kinda nervous right now…

Why? Because I thought I knew everything there was to know about the dangers of “duplicate content” on my site…

But the real truth is–I had no idea.

See, I just watched Andy Jenkins’ newest video, and he showed me how some common website mistakes can not only make your Google rankings dip, but literally obliterate your listing entirely–overnight.

Man, this is scary. I mean REALLY scary.

Here’s the video:

http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=7Y00C&m=1d6XPONkNAFs3z&b=NplEZoGA4106gxydB_ifXQ
This affects everyone who earns money from the internet. EVERYONE.

And the damage can be devastating to your
business– unless you take the proper
precautions.

The cool thing is this video gives simple, easy things you can do to protect yourself.
And it’s completely free… there is nothing for sale and no pitch. You don’t even need to opt-in or anything like that…

Here’s the link, go there now if you want to keep your site listed in the search engines:

Getting to Zero

I was just thinking about the Zero Limits event in Maui.

The rainy weather didn’t dampen the high spirits of the unique group of Zero Limits participants. They crystallized their learning about Ho’oponopono, the powerful Hawaiian cleaning process I wrote about in my best-selling book, ‘Zero Limits’.

Now I’m giving you the opportunity to experience Zero Limits through a Group Coaching Program.

http://www.zero-limits-coaching.com/

In the Zero Limits Group Coaching Program you will learn to:

– Remove mental obstacles that block your path, freeing your mind to find new and unexpected ways to get what you want out of life.

– Love yourself, heal yourself (or anyone else) of anything you notice.

– Understand the Zero Limits System and how to clear your mind of subconscious blocks so that destiny and desire can take over and help you get what you truly want from life.

– Clear out unconsciously accepted beliefs, thoughts, and memories that you don’t even know are holding you back.

– Deal effectively with removing self-imposed limitations in your life that are often manifested as chaos, disease, and lack.

– Wipe your mind’s slate clean (get to Zero) and start over without preconceived notions, so you can live in a world of daily wonder - live in a world where ANYTHING is possible.

– Have a deepened sense of peace.

– Give you a quantum expansion in what you are able to be responsible for.

– Learn how to improve yourself, improve anything in your life and improve your world.

All this and more is available in the Zero Limits Group Coaching Program.

The Zero Limits Group Coaching Program is even more of a head spinner than the book. It’s a life changing experience. There’s NOTHING like it.

http://www.zero-limits-coaching.com/

This program is being offered again because of the huge success of the first program.

Here are some of the results the first group reported:

– Peace of mind regarding everything in life.

– Broken ankle that knitted so fast that the cast came off in 2 weeks instead of 10.

– Increased motor skill and strength in child with neuro-muscular disorder.

– Ability to attract what is desired with increased speed.

– Sense of connection to the Divine and to humanity.

– Increased happiness.
