“Join me on this thrilling ride, straight to the top!”

Dear Friend,

If you are sick and tired of spinning your wheels in your business -- and in your life -- then grab a seat and listen VERY closely, because what I am about to tell you really is THAT important, and gets you off the entrepreneurial “insanity treadmill,” almost immediately.

As I’ve been telling you over the last few months, the demand for “me” is growing at an uncontrollable rate. And while this is very flattering and lets me know I’m doing my job, it also means I’ve got to run the red flag straight up the flagpole and re-engineer my coaching groups, limiting access to me, and in some cases, restricting it entirely. If I do NOT do this, not only will my own productivity and health suffer, but I will begin to resent“being such a good guy”, and the LAST thing I ever want, is for that to happen.

To do this most effectively, and to make SURE you’re getting the best return on your investment, I have re-structured my entire Mastermind Program, gearing it ONLY towards those people who want to be LEAP-FROGGING (as Robert Ringer said in “Winning Through Intimidation”) up the ladder the EXACT same way I did, as opposed to slowly climbing up the ladder, one predictable and conventional rung at a time.

Here, let me give you an example of what I mean by this. I started writing copy for my own business in 2000. In 2003, at the insistence of one of the world’s greatest copywriters who I mentored under for 6 months, I began writing freelance copy for others. Now, only a few years later, I’m getting $60,000 dollars for creating a complete sales package from concept to paper (plus royalties), while most copywriters who’ve been at it -- in some cases, FIVE TIMES LONGER than I have -- are barely eeking out a living, or are hacking away living week-to-week, simply thrilled to get a $2,500 check for some “assignment” or other.

How did this happen?   Why was I able to accomplish more in a few short years, than what some people achieve in a lifetime, and even MORE important, how can YOU do the same thing in YOUR business, starting right NOW?

Stay put, and I’ll tell you. Meanwhile, the entrepreneurs in my Mastermind Group (some, who have only been in business a few years themselves) regularly collect 3 to 5 TIMES what their competitors charge, and they NEVER do anything stupid, like give away free “services" -- something most “average” professionals wind up doing forever.

(This year, 2008, I will make well in excess of $1 Million Dollars using the strategies and methods discussed and regularly dispensed to the members of my Mastermind Group.  Think about this as you read this somewhat lengthy message.)

This is possible because the core of my Maverick Mentoring Groups, is the "Mastermind" principle.  Embrace this and you begin experiencing formerly unimagined growth, and here’s why:  Napoleon Hill, when he was commissioned by Andrew Carnegie to study what made successful people successful, scoured the world interviewing 504 of the wealthiest people of that time. Ultimately, as I’m sure you already know, the conclusions of Hill’s findings turned into ‘Think And Grow Rich’, the book more millionaires say has had the greatest influence on their life, than any other. That’s why this book is consistently ranked as one of the top-sellers on Amazon.com (right now it’s at #336), in spite of the fact it was published in 1937. Because what Hill discovered was EXPLOSIVE! You see, Hill discovered...

The universal hands-down “secret” to achieving MASSIVE success... is your active membership in a Mastermind Group!

And it’s true! As far as my own experience and belief in the incredible effectiveness of a mastermind group, let me share the following with you: My income DOUBLED when I first got involved in a mastermind group... it doubled again the following year... and it will double yet again this year. And “No,” I don’t expect it to double again next year - I expect it to TRIPLE next year.

I can’t explain this to you any other way other than by saying there are incredible intangible but well-documented powers you get from being in a Mastermind group.  First, there’s the economic power you get by surrounding yourself with the advice, counsel and personal encouragement of a group of people supporting your efforts in the spirit of, as Hill said “perfect harmony.” (Which is why people who are NOT contributors, but who are only “takers,” are swiftly booted from my groups.)

Secondly, there’s an “energy” component of this Mastermind group, that’s kind of hard to put into words, even though the collective effect of it is EASY to measure. Basically, what happens is... when two like-minded minds come together, a third mind is created which is made up of the “connection,” thoughts, and enthusiasm of the collective minds supporting it.

And if you analyze the background of ANY man or woman who has accumulated ANY significant amount of wealth, you will find great power like this has ONLY been accumulated through these intangible powers of their “mastermind” group, and nothing else.

In fact, here’s a funny story about an interview I once heard author Mark Victor Hansen give. Mark said he was speaking with Tony Robbins one time, asking for his thoughts on why Mark’s income consistently hovered around the $2 Million Dollar mark, while Tony is consistently earning in excess of $20 Million Dollars. This was especially troubling to Hansen considering he’d sold about 20 million more books than Robbins!

Robbins responded by asking Hansen who was in his mastermind group and how much they were making. After giving it some thought, Hansen realized he was surrounding himself with very successful people, but people whose incomes were capped out at the $1 to $2 Million Dollar mark. Needless to say, the people in Tony Robbins group, were making WELL in excess of the $20 Million Dollar threshold Mark Victor Hansen was so amazed by. So you see, the simple truth is, you really ARE who you hang out with.   And...

There are also THREE OTHER BIG REASONS why the Mastermind principle is so effective:

1. Frankly, seeing in-person that the people who are absolutely kicking ASS in their business, are NO different from you... has a VERY powerful impact on your conscious and sub-conscious mind. This is a HUGE motivational inspiration that leads directly to your own personal transformation. Seeing there’s no “magic” involved, lets you make the mental leap you need, to transform even life-long “dreams” into reality. Seeing others - who are no more qualified or more skilled than you are -- performing at an extraordinarily high level -- is EYE-OPENING.
2. Accountability. You’d never know it today, but when I was a kid, I was a pudgy little porker. On a whim, I decided to enroll in the Weight Watchers program, to get a handle on my weight problem. I was the only kid there, sitting basically in a room full of what today would be called “soccer moms.” Awkward or not, you’d better believe there wasn’t a snowballs chance in hell I was coming back to any one of those weekly meetings, having GAINED any weight. In fact, I lost a ton of weight during that period of time, and the reason why was the “implied accountability” of this group. To put it bluntly, there is no way you’re going to be able to come to your quarterly Maverick Mastermind meetings having done nothing since your last meeting, while you’re sitting around a room full of DOERS. You will feel humiliated and ashamed of yourself if you do this, and besides, being in a room full of DOERS has a very curious way of motivating you and getting you TOTALLY pumped up, W-A-A-Y beyond belief. You begin seeing yourself in a different light, with all your previous “limits”, now removed.
3. You get “outside looking in” insight unavailable anywhere else! Think about it: how much is it worth to you, to consistently be in a room FILLED with successful entrepreneurs from all over the world and from a wide variety of industries (with me leading the pack), helping and encouraging you, and helping your business grow, using all their collective years of wisdom, experience, and intelligence to:
• Identify your personal and professional blind-spots! Look, I don’t care how smart you are -- you simply do NOT know, what you do NOT know!   And there is NOTHING that can take the place of getting candid and supportive advice from others who have walked in your shoes, giving you the insight you need, and the problem-solving questions and answers you need, to get you out of any rut you’re in and prevent you from making any MORE critical mistakes!
• Deal with any “left-over” feelings of self-sabotage... negative messages, or bad programming that’s telling you you’re “undeserving” of success... or any other nagging fears, doubts, or anxieties you want to eliminate from your life, that may be either holding you back or overwhelming you!  (Rest assured, once you nail this one down, you will wonder, as Hill says, “where the money has been hiding all along!”)
• How to stay FOCUSED and on-task!  Look, all entrepreneurs suffer from “Entrepreneurial A.D.D.,” but unless you learn to get around this, your work-load will forever be unmanageable, and your productivity (and your income) will never even come CLOSE to what you’re capable of.   You will continueAnd not only is this a shame, but it’s also something you can prevent from ever happening, by joining this group NOW!
• Stress Management! How do you handle the rigors and responsibilities of finances, employees, bills, systems, marketing, operations, merchant accounts, real estate... and, how can you satisfy all these commitments while satisfying your family and friends, and STILL have a moment or two left-over for yourself!   Members in my mastermind group have successfully gone through these issues, or are dealing with them right now on an ongoing basis. For example, I for one, will tell you a simple little secret I’ve been using to make SURE my wife and I are always connecting on a consistent basis, in spite of my MASSIVE workload and the fact that we have three young children (Two of them teenage boys -- Yikes!). Plus...
• Problem-solving AND problem-sharing! You will never again find another “safe” place like this, to share AND solve all your business and marketing problems!   You will be astounded at how many simple solutions have been developed by others, for what seem to be VERY complicated issues to you. Again, that’s the value of having multiple credible outside viewpoints looking in on you and your business.   And lastly...
• Discover how to avoid making VERY costly and frustrating mistakes and eliminate unnecessary and anxiety-producing experiences!  Imagine if you were able to PREVENT and anticipate any problems you were about to run into?  Think your life would be easier?  Think your business will experience dramatic growth, faster and more systematically?   Think you’d avoid blowing TENS of thousands of dollars on bad knee-jerk decisions you’d be making on your own and without the guidance of the group? Hell yeah!

I’ll summarize this program in a moment, but in a nutshell,my mentoring program gives you consistent and direct access to me, which... in case you've been asleep at the wheel and it hasn't already dawned on you, is where the biggest return on your investment lies.

Bluntly, the information you want AND need, or at least a very significant and VERY profitable part of it, is between my two ears. The biggest breakthroughs in your business... in your financial situation... in your lifestyle... and in your life, come by recognizing these breakthroughs lie NOT in what you know, but in the questions and answers you do NOT know. Remember, HUGE personal and financial growth doesn’t come without sacrifice, and it certainly doesn’t come for free.   Anyway... here’s the deal:

Maverick Mentoring Benefits
(a $89,296 Value)

If you are accepted into this program, each month you’ll get:

• Weekly Monday Morning Fax - Every Monday morning, you’ll receive some irreverent, challenging and thought-provoking information to kick-start your week. You may not necessarily LIKE what I have to say, but you’d be hard-pressed to disagree with it.
• Access To A Private Google Discussion Group Online - Where you will be able to network and pick the brains of the other members.  I will moderate the group and step in with ideas and solutions when needed, but this is your chance to "tap" into the brains and businesses of all the other successful members in the group, 24/7, leveraging their smarts.

• Attend THREE two-day INTENSE mastermind meetings, here in Tampa.   I charge $7,500 Dollars a day for my coaching time, which means this alone is $45,000 Dollars in value for you.  And THIS, BY FAR, is where your greatest growth takes place.

Here Is A Summary Of Everything:

(Look, I don’t presume to know what your business is like now, or how this stacks up against the business and the life, you want to have. Maybe you really ARE where you want to be, and if so, then “Congratulations”, this program isn’t for you. But if you’re looking for more -- more out of your business, and MUCH more out of your life -- then the tax-deductible investment you’re making by joining this group, is very likely to give you BEST return you’ve ever had in your life... on any investment... you’ve ever made!)

Listen, lLast week, in the first 7 days of promotion, a real estate client of mine sold 27 seminar seats (each buyer taking the “top” level at $2,495 a pop for a total of just under $67,500 Dollars), to a list that had NEVER been solicited to buy seminar seats before, simply by sending out a few e-mails I wrote to his list, and then driving his list (of just over 2,000 previous buyers) to a sales letter I wrote. I could go on and on, but if you’ve read this far, then I don’t need to - you’re already “sold” on me.

But that’s neither here nor there, because your greatest asset in joining my program, is my commitment to YOUR success. The number one comment I’ve heard throughout my life, once people meet me, is that I am “real.” No smoke and mirrors here, no fluff, just me. You will flat-out not find a soul out there, who understands people and persuasion, and who has the combination of street-smarts and intelligence I possess. Put it this way: There's a good reason why I created and trademarked Seductive Selling™.

If this is what you want, to be challenged and encouraged by someone who’s going to steer you in the right direction, then I’m someone you need to consider working with, NOW. The other thing you should know is that I believe in the principle of “abundance” and NOT scarcity, and so I don't mind giving you a "brain dump" on just about anything you want to know.  I have no incentive to "hide" anything from you or anyone else in my "circle".

I am dead serious about what I do, and there are enough testimonials all over my web site and inside this letter, that if you can’t come to this conclusion on your own, then you and I were probably NOT meant to be -- and that’s O.K. There is a reason why I have a backlog of clients waiting to pay me a minimum of $35,000 Dollars for a sales package, so if you get in now, consider yourself lucky, because at some point in time, these gates WILL be closed, and the entry fees to get inside ANY of them that may be open, will be dramatically higher.

If you are uncertain about anything, or you’re not sure which group is best for you, and if you have “LEGITIMATE” questions, then feel free to call or e-mail my office to schedule a brief appointment, and I’ll be happy to speak with you.

And by-the-way, “legitimate” means exactly that. Things like “Can I “test” your group out for a month or so before joining”... or, “I can’t afford this, can you hook me up or cut me a deal”... are NOT legitimate questions. (The answer is “No” to both, by-the-way.) Oh, one more thing -- and this is important: membership in this group carries a SIX MONTH MINIMUM COMMITMENT.

After all, if you can’t commit SIX GOOD MONTHS to your business, then you’re wasting your time anyway. And as if that’s not bad enough, you’ll also be wasting MY time and everyone else's in the group if you aren’t committed to yourself and to your success, the same way they are.
