Do something once, get paid forever... (12 hours left to register!)‏

Only 12 Hours Left to Register for Jay Abraham's
"Master of Passive Income" Webcast...
Watch Jay's Personal Video Message To You Here:

***CLICK HERE TO REGISTER***

Hey guys,

Last time, we were talking about Jay Abraham
sharing his presentation from Harv Eker's "Never
Work Again" event... including over 25 secrets to
creating multiple streams of Passive Income.
And how if you know even a few of Jay's secrets,
you can do something once, and get paid for it
forever!

Get Your Spot While You Can...

***CLICK HERE TO REGISTER***

The reason Harv Eker called on Jay to create a
breakthrough, short-course primer on mastering
passive income for his $2,000 a person event is
because Jay IS the preeminent expert in the world
on doing it.

And surprisingly, he became the "Master of Passive
Income" quite accidentally...

You see, over the last thirty years, as Jay
experienced all kinds of different marketing
strategies, profit-boosting manoeuvres and business
growth transactions... wildly enriching deals would
frequently pop up... which no one else saw the
monumental possibilities in.

These were potentially "monster" passive income
deals that Jay Abraham alone knew how to mine --
and monetize.

And, boy, did they pay off BIG-TIME for Jay... and
all the partners he brought into the various deals
he did.

For example...

A deal Jay did in 1970 paid him almost $50,000 a
month...for years. All from one week's effort on
Jay's part.

A deal Jay put together in 1982 generated just
under $10 million for Jay and three partners.
A deal he did in '92 still pays Jay up to $50,000
a year. And he has hasn't lifted a finger to do
anything on it for nearly a decade!

And a deal Jay did in all of 8 hours - sixteen months
ago - has been generating $400,000 a month in
revenue for him ever since.

Jay was in Asia last month doing a seminar and
still racked up $650,000 from this passive income
stream, literally while he was asleep on the other
side of the world!

Get Your Spot While You Can...

***CLICK HERE TO REGISTER***

Why am I telling YOU this?

Because the story gets more interesting -- and more
relevant to you.

You see, Harv knew Jay could create passive income
streams (tons of them) almost anywhere in the
world - for almost anybody - in a matter of days or
weeks...

...without any real risk, investment or heavy effort on
their part.

So, he had Jay do this universal, two-hour
presentation that combined about 25 actual success
stories Jay has engineered, along with a detailed
explanation of exactly how Jay orchestrated each
deal, combined with a candid recommendation of
how members of Harv's audience could do it for
themselves, too.

And now you can experience the same proven
strategies... and use them to create multiple
streams of Passive Income for yourself... when you
grab a FREE spot for the limited webcast of
"Master Of Passive Income":

Get Your Spot While You Can...

***CLICK HERE TO REGISTER***

During this presentation, Jay carefully identifies
simple, easy, no-cost deals you can do worth
$1,000 - $5,000 a month -- passively.

He explains ways someone with no real skill,
training or capital can actually amass tens of
thousands in passive revenue, monthly.

Jay even told attendees at Harv Eker's event
brilliant ways you can tap absolute "gushers" of
windfall profits worth sometimes six figures a pop.
And now you can "steal" Jay's secrets to create
your own passive income sources... and your own
financial freedom.

Only thing, though. There are not many Free Access
spots left. They may be gone today.

So if you're serious about making a better life
for yourself... and creating your own streams of
passive income... you've GOT to be on this
webcast!

So get your spot now, (it's FREE).

Passive Income" webcast close in just 12 hours!

2009-10-31T07:07:00.001-07:00

You missed out on something spectacular yesterday
-- and normally that would be a tragedy.

Why? Read just some of the wildly positive
feedback we received from entrepreneurs just like
you who listened in on the panel broadcast to see
what you missed out on...
----------
Karl says:
"The panel members were extraordinary as the
name states. These millionaires have
absolutely brilliant insights coming from so
many different angels that it resonated with
me on an unbelievable level. Thank you to all
the panel members."
Greg says:
"How could I go wrong engaging and enlisting
some of the strongest minds in business.
There are too many things to list that I have
taken away from these interviews. If the rest
are like this... I will be miles ahead of where I
am now. I definitely plan on telling as many
people as possible about this "Extraordinary"
series. I'm already looking forward to the next
one."
Gerard Wong says:
"The first session was filled with so much
distilled wisdom and practical strategies
that would have taken many years for an
individual to discover by himself. The panel
has translated the confusion into useful
actionable items.
Kudos also to Jay and Rich, not only for
putting the whole thing together but also for
the invaluable insight from their own
interpretations of the panel discussion."
Conray says:
"I have travel around the world seeking some
of the wisdom of the greatest business minds
SEVERAL times, I have been on the top
training programmes and learned a lot, BUT at
a huge expense and major cost. At this
webinar I got the most amazing value in
comfort of my home! This is a real WOW!"
Anise says:
"The experts helped clarify why some things
have not been going well in my present
business, the things that need to be
addressed and the means to do it."

-----------
We created the nine guest panels to give you and
your business explosive profit breakthroughs in
the next six weeks alone. This way you'd be eager
to continue as paid member.
But that will never happen for either of us (you
won't get the breakthroughs... we won't get you as
an ongoing paid member) if we don't figure out a
way to get you to experience each and every one of
these nine separate expert panel sessions.
We don't know if you forgot, or had a scheduling
conflict -- or really and truly didn't realize that we
were going to "deliver-the-goods", just like we
promised.
But we did. In fact we overdelivered. In case you
don't believe it, here are some more rave reviews
we got yesterday...

-----------
Mariana says:
"Great information, anyone in business should
register to this amazing resource. Thanks."
Dan Johnston says:
"Some great refreshers and a ton of new
information. Joining the webinar has really
helped get me back into the zone and focus on
a few key sales issues."
John says:
"This is not your typical internet marketing
product, it is more a masters level business
education in marketing. There was so much
information in such a short period of time! I
am positive this information will benefit my
life and business."
Boyana says:
"First, I want to say Thank You for this
great webcast! I took tons of notes, and I'm
intend to come back to them and act on what I
learned. I really appreciate the action steps
on how to make yourself be seen as credible,
as well as how to create lasting relationships
with your partners by listening."
Glen says:
"So far, I have a few good takeaways. 1) To
build trust quickly, commit, deliver, repeat.
2) The importance of remaining relevant to
our target customer. 3) Most of us do not see
ourselves as others see us. 4) Publish to gain
credibility by being relevant and providing
actionable, effective insight. Thank you Rich
and Jay for your efforts."
Richard says:
"I already employed some of the things from
the Tony Robbins audio. I am glad I joined. I
am learning new stuff all the time. To a friend
I would say, there is great inspiration to be had
here no matter where you are at in business."

We want YOU to be part of our ongoing paid
service. So, in a sincere effort to make that
happen we've decided to re-extend to you the offer
to receive the complete collection of transcripts,
audio recordings, and highly detailed action-
planning-guides for each and every one of the nine
guest panels -- including the one you just missed.
That way (whether you attend the actual broadcast
or not) you'll ALWAYS have a way to profit from
each and every brilliant idea each expert panelist
shares in those sessions.

But it gets better...

Our goal here is to win you over as a long term,
paid member.

So, we're offering you nine recordings, nine
complete transcripts, and nine master-level action
planning guides (seriously worth nearly one
thousand dollars) all for a ridiculously modest price
of just $47.

But it gets better still...

For that one meager payment we're also going to
"buy" you your first full month of the paid
premium service, on top.

And even that modest payment will NOT be
considered binding on your part by us until you've
received all the recordings, transcripts and action
guides for all nine panels.

If they don't dramatically multiply the value of
the service just tell us at the end of the ninth
session and your $47 will be rushed right back to
you.

If the guest membership pays off the way we
promised, stay in the paid service for as long as
IT continues to deliver-the-goods. But there's
never any long term commitment on your part.
You can cancel any month it fails to deliver.

and action guides -- all within 72 hours of each
panel broadcast.

URGENT: 30 TEMPTATIONS every online entrepreneur MUST RESIST‏

Re: Entrepreneurs - RESIST These, Please!

Which of these temptations are quietly
sabotaging your online business?

You see...

There are 30 specific TEMPTATIONS you
MUST RESIST on your path to becoming a
wildly successful entrepreneur and
Founder.

ANY of them... it will drastically

What The Heck Is The Founders Club?‏

2009-07-31T12:23:00.001-07:00

From: Todd Brown
Re: What The Heck Is The Founders Club?

Since we released our brand new micro-report
the other day, The Founders Forumula, we've
been getting hammered with questions.

You have read your copy of the Founders
Formula already, right?

If not, you can grab another copy now:

Get Your Founder Formula Report Here

The feedback seems to be that the graphic
on page 10 has radically changed the way
many online marketers are going to go
about making moolah and growing their
business online.

You can read everyone's insights and
takeaways by quickly hopping over to the
blog -

http://StrategicProfits.com/blog

Ironically, though, most of the questions
flooding-in haven't been about the new
Report at all. But, have been about Rich
Schefren's soon-to-be-unveiled Founders Club
mentioned on pages 16 and 17.

Our support has been getting inundated with
questions such as:

* How will the Founders Club help a brand new
marketer go from zero to a big income and
freedom from their eventual business?

* How will the Founders Club propel a
veteran marketer to total freedom from
their company?

* How will the Founders Club differ from
everything else ever offered at Strategic
Profits?

* What will you get when you become a
member of the Founders Club next Wednesday
August 15th?

* And... the big one... is membership in
the Founders Club going to be in the
thousands or hundreds of dollars?

Well, rather than write a lengthy email answering
all of those questions for you, I've decided to
release a video tomorrow (Saturday) to answer
everything for you.

So, tomorrow's video will reveal everything
for you.

Please keep in mind while you're waiting for
tomorrow's video...

Me, Rich, Brian and the entire Team at Strategic
Profits have been working on the Founders Club
for close to 5 months now to make sure it gives
you exactly what you need to shortcut your
path to financial, personal and business freedom
online.

And, I think you'll see that in tomorrow's video.
But, even with that said...

The Founders Club will NOT be for everyone, nor
do I believe everyone will be willing to invest
the money to become a Member.

But, that's okay.

The Founders Club was designed from the ground
up for entrepreneurs truly serious about making
big money online in the shortest time possible...
AND.. with the personal time and freedom to
enjoy their success.

If that describes you... you'll want to watch
tomorrow's video.

Enjoy,
Todd Brown :-)
P.S. Even though Rich is in Cleveland for the
weekend hanging out with Jay Abraham and Dan
Kennedy, I'll be watching the blog to answer
the smaller questions being left there.
So, if you have some shorter questions, hop
over to the blog now, and fire-away. :-)

{Founder Video 4} - THE Shortest Path To ANY Online Biz Goal Is...‏

2009-07-28T16:10:00.001-07:00

Every online marketer asks me at one
point or another...

"Rich, is there any kind of SHORT-CUT
to creating a successful online business,
and if so, what is it?"

Funny thing is... as the guy known
for being totally against the
"opportunity-seeker mentality",
my answer usually surprises folks.

"YES! There IS a short-cut to
creating a successful online
business."

"Only, it's NOT what most marketers
think it is."

Then, I usually go on to reveal what
the short-cut is.

For YOU... today... I do the same in
video #4 of our Founder Video Series.

{Founder Video 3} - the W.H.W. Equation for comfortable business growth

2009-07-27T22:05:00.001-07:00

Most online marketers are missing a critical
piece to the business-growth puzzle.

Without this piece, knowing what to do in your
business, and even how to do it, is NOT enough.
This is why so many online marketers continue to
struggle even though they're effectively implementing
many of the most effective marketing tactics in their
business.

If this has been your experience, you're certainly
not alone.

More than likely you've just never been given
the one missing puzzle piece.

The W.H.W. Equation I share in our newest Founder
Video gives you that missing piece.

Daddy, Are You Crying? 'Yes' I said...‏

2009-07-08T23:24:00.001-07:00

His death came as quite a shock not only to me,
but also to Debi and my two daughters. He was a
kind of icon in our family; someone we often
imitated for fun but knew we were never came close
to his talent.

His performances were like no one else in his
business, real works of art that could not be
duplicated. His unimaginable passing at the young
age has immediately made life seem more fragile to
me.

It seems unreasonable to have a strong feeling for
a marketer you hardly knew. But what made him so
special was that he did what he did in a way that
made you want to like him first, and then and only
then buy the product he was selling.

In fact, it was like whatever he was selling just
didn't feel like selling - to me (and countless
others) it felt more like it was being recommended
by a friend.

I think that there are a lot of things to learn
from him - which is why I have just posted the
longest blog post I've ever written in my entire
online career detailing every single gem I ever
learned from him.

Click here

If nothing else, the guy was an artist who was the
very best at what he did. That's something I've
always respected no matter the field of endeavor.
While I've been slaving away at the keyboard
reviewing everything he put his mark on - a wave
of sadness came over me, and a tear ran down my
face. My older daughter Ava saw and asked "Daddy,
are you crying?"

"Yes" I said. And then I did my best to describe
what I was feeling in a way a seven year old could
understand.

"I'm writing about everything I learned from him,
and it's so much - and he worked so hard for so
many years to learn it all - and now when he
finally was the best in the world and still
getting even better... he went to heaven. And the
worst part of it is he had a daughter just one
year older than Elle (her younger sister) so it
makes me sad to think about that."

I did the best job I could translating everything
I learned from what he did. I hope you get immense
value from this blog post - if you did I know he
would be proud.

Rich

So how did you do it, Rich?

2009-04-27T16:17:00.001-07:00

See that question in the subject line? Thousands
of people have asked me that over the years...

Because they're looking for the "magic pill" that
will catapult their business to new heights and
make them a major player in their niche.

But I've got a secret for you today...

There IS no "magic pill" so to speak. Truth is,
there's many elements that go into growing a
business to become a massive success.

However, if you were to closely examine Strategic
Profits along with some of my guru pals' mega
online-empires, you would see one common
element with all of us.

This single strategy has played a MAJOR part in
our success...and consistently put millions of
dollars in our pockets with very little effort.
A magic pill? Nope. But about as close as it gets...

Take a look

Yes, I'm talking about joint venturing, the
fastest, easiest way to generate a huge influx of
cash into your business today and for many days
to come.

The JV is as powerful as it is simple. For only a
tiny fraction of your time and efforts, you can
have a virtual army of salespeople promoting your
products day in and day out.

And in my new book, "The Complete Guide to
Highly-Successful Internet Joint Venture Partnerships:
How to Create Profit Windfalls and Skyrocket Your
Online Business", I give you a crash course in the
Rich Schefren model for setting up winning JV
partnerships.

Isn't that what you've been looking for?

Take a look

Inside "The Complete Guide To Highly Successful
Internet Joint Venture Partnerships", I'll hand
you an A-to-Z marketing manual that takes you behind the
velvet rope to break down every facet of JV
partnering into quick, easy-to-digest bites...

I'm basically giving you the keys to
everything...from mastering the mindset to
modeling success...from creating an affiliate
program to building authority...from putting a
fast 25K in your pocket to steady profits an auto-
pilot. And SO much more!

This is the same blueprint I used for creating the
JV relationships that helped me build a $7.5
million business in only a year. And it can be
yours for the price of dinner for two.

So you REALLY want to know how I did it?

Take a look

Good--I'll see you inside.

To Higher Profits,
Rich
P.S. Oh, I almost forgot about the templates...
Inside my book, you'll also receive 16 of my own
highly-successful emails you can virtually steal
and use as templates for your own autoresponder
series.

I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that these
emails have made me millions of dollars. Heck,
just one of them is responsible for putting
$98,455.00 into my pockets.

That's correct--$98,455.00 with just 1 of these
emails. And you're getting that exact email copy--
PLUS 15 more--for free.

And if that wasn't enough, I've even added
templates for a JV proposal letter... other sample
JV agreements (including my own affiliate
contract)... and much more. Just swipe and go!
What more can I do for you?

Take a look

It's all about them...

2009-04-23T11:55:00.001-07:00

As I have said many times, it is about your prospects and
not what you like...

Today there is more information about customers than ever
before, and more being generated every minute. And, there
are many ways to motivate them all the way from simply
putting your logo or marketing message on m&m's and
packaging them in a variety of creative ways, to more
effective loyalty programs, to really analyzing all the data
you have and is now available on your customers.

Twenty-five years ago a firm’s assets were in machinery and
equipment, estimated to be about 85% with only 15% in
intangible forms of knowledgeware. However, that mix of
tangible to intangible assets is exactly reversed.

The marriage of the internet with mobile telephony now
allows for a powerful one-to-one channel direct to your
customers. Advances in information technology gives you the
ability to use data on your customers’ transactions to motivate
them in ways never before possible.

A new technique with global implications is called "crowd
sourcing" - asking internet users for ideas of what they
want, or would like to see changed. What a fabulous source
for new product development! Add blogs and social
networks to that, and we have a universe of online focus groups - a
marketer's paradise.

Not only is the internet gathering this type of trend analysis,
it is also allowing for the crunching of data from credit-card
transactions and customer programs. This can range all the
way from profiling customers based upon what they are
buying to the relationship between cultural variables and
buying habits.

I was thinking more about this while at Marketing Sherpa a
couple weeks ago. As you all probably know we do a lot of
segmenting on our lists. But one of my ‘ah ha’ moments was
the value of segmenting into male/female.

For example, did you know that almost two thirds of women
will select a soft drink with the purchase of their favorite
magazine. And, almost half will read their magazine with
yogurt or a dairy treat.

What if, instead of getting a pack of coupons via snail mail
for a variety of products you don't buy, you were to
electronically receive coupons for products very specific to
your consumption patterns? The effectiveness of these laser-
targeted promotions over the internet can be dramatic, as
opposed to the haphazard direct mail campaigns of the past.
We just did this exact process on the current Jeff Walker
launch and it worked well, as a matter of fact, we were the
number one affiliate.

By collecting and organizing data that we generate
electronically from our credit cards, cell phones and laptops,
savvy marketers can create a mosaic of our behavior and
develop a more granular segmentation of customer types
than ever before.

As I have said many times, successful marketers know their
customers intimately. By studying their changing consumption
patterns they can anticipate their desires, and by delighting
them with solutions to their problems before they know they
have them, they can entice them to spend more money on
their products.

However, you have to be able to capture this treasure trove
of data and use it effectively, as it will unlock the door to the
customers’ mind. It's like unraveling a customer's DNA.
In reality, it is the most sensible way to predict what we will
do next. And, we are constantly spewing forth data about
ourselves that is being captured electronically all day long.
This exploding world of data leads a smart marketer directly
to our wallet or purse.

So the question is - are you mining all the data you have or
that is available to you, so that you can tailor your product or
service offerings to the changing requirements of specific
customer types, and target them more effectively via the
internet? Wouldn't you like to delight your customers with
products and applications to make their lives better?

If you are confused as to how to get started on a more
intelligent approach to analyzing all the data available to you
on customers, or where and how to get more information
on their changing consumption patterns and requirements;
let's start a dialogue. www.twitter.com/brianjohnson_sp
You certainly can't refute the fact that the internet and
information technology has created a gigantic opportunity to
explore customer behavior like never before. But, are you
participating in it?

Brian Johnson asked me not to pee in his pool

2009-03-27T11:34:00.001-07:00

Don't pee in the pool...

OK, I know that is gross but that was the message
staring me in the face when I logged into my
Infusion account last week. The point they were
making is that the email marketing world is being
destroyed because of the horrendous practices of
uneducated email marketers. Deliverability is
declining, open rates declining, attention of the
recipient declining, etc...

Two days after I saw that message I received an
email from Jeff Mask, the VP at Infusion, asking
me to speak at one of their events because our
email practices at Strategic Profits are stellar.
Needless to say my email got through his spam
blocker, LOL. We have one of the lowest complaint
rates out of all their customers.

So I figured I would share some of the things we
do to accomplish that. There is no way I could
cover everything that I would need to in this article
to make you an expert. Being a deliverability
expert is a job in itself but I will give you a few tips
on what we do.

What would it mean to you to increase your
deliverability, open rates and conversions by 10,
15, 25 even 30% or more? Well if you have a list
like we do, that could be the difference between a
$100,000 dollar JV promotion and a $200,000
promotion.

However, just blasting out to your whole list every
time you get the urge is not properly capitalizing on
your most valued asset.

OK, I know. If I get another marketer telling me
that people just want to be sold and the more you
bash them over the head and pound them into the
ground with email the more money you make, I'm
going to puke.

I understand that concept and if that is what you
think I applaud your misguided enthusiasm. There
is a right and a wrong way to do that but more
important there is a better more effective way to
do that.

We try not to do one email to our whole list at
once. The days of that are over for us. We
segment our list very intelligently and we talk to
the segments appropriately. Thereby decreasing
complaints and opt-outs. Recipients are just sick
of everyone's babble. Respect who you are talking
to.

Your list could be segmented in many ways. As an
example; A customers, the people that buy your
back-end expensive products. B customers, the
people that buy your lower priced front-ends but
just have not yet stepped up to your more
expensive products. C customers that take
advantage of your special deals and shipping only
type offers but have not bought anything else.

The rest of your list (prospects) can be segmented
into many different lists based on your company
needs and markets. We currently have 62 different
segments. From buyers of partner or affiliate
products, to people that registered for teleseminars,
to people who are just blog readers, to people who
just like to watch and see what we are doing. YES
WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE and stop being lurkers.

That is important because we will write sometimes
many different emails, depending on who we are
talking to for the same product or promotion.
I just did a video with my friend Mike Filsaime. We
talked about the fact if someone walks into
McDonalds and orders a salad with fat free dressing
and 2% milk; you don't try to upsell them into a big
mac with extra cheese and a super size coke. You
have to know your list and talk to them the way
they want to be talked to or are used to being talked
to.

Here is an example below of two emails of a
promotion we did for our Strengths Mastery
product:

Strengths Mastery Advantage FOR Entrepreneurs
SUBJECT: Are you "master" of your domain?

Hey there FIRSTNAME, Rich here, just remembering
a classic episode of "Seinfeld"...

Maybe you do too. Jerry, George, and all the gang
had a bet to see who was "master of their domain".

Now, the subject matter to be "mastered" was a
little more delicate than I want to talk about here.
But if you saw this one, you know what I'm talking
about (and you're smiling right now).

And as I was thinking back on this episode,
something struck me...

How many of us are truly "mastering" our strengths
to create the biggest profits possible?
Because discovering your strengths (and your
weaknesses) and leveraging them properly is vital
to achieving the wealth, freedom, and lifestyle
you've always dreamed of.

And here's the fastest and easiest way to do
exactly that.

Click here

Email For White Collar Business Owners
SUBJECT: Are you leveraging your strengths?

Hello FIRSTNAME,

It goes without saying that leveraging your
strengths properly is a key fundamental to
maximizing your profit margin while minimizing
risk in your business...

By leveraging your talents--and also managing
your weaknesses--you can quickly gain a
competitive advantage in your marketplace and
enjoy long-term success.

But how can you do that exactly? What are the
best ways to get better results for your business
without adding time, effort, and expense to the
equation?

You'll find your answer right here.

Click here

Don't you think the conversion was higher
because we customized the copy for these
segments?

Next, don't try to trick ISPs and think you are
getting away with it. Been there done that. I
just laugh when I see the word free cleverly
"disguised" with other punctuation in subject
lines. Don't you think they are smart enough to
pick up on those types of antics?

Well I'm in the mix enough to tell you they know
all the tricks. Just follow the industry standards,
do the right things and the things they ask.

It's just like dealing with Google Adwords. You
get the best scores and get to the top by doing
what Google wants to see.

I just recently got a wakeup call because we had
too many blank lines at the bottom of our emails
before the opt-out links. We got our hand slapped
because that is opt-out padding and you will get
slapped for doing it.

Run your emails through a score checker. There
are many out there that will give you a good
indication if you will have deliverability problems
with a particular email you are sending. We use the
Habeas monitor... now ReturnPath... as well as a
few others.

There are many more tips, and I will hit some in
future episodes. But the main message is to do the
right thing and over time your reputation score
will rise along with your income because of it. Treat
it like your personal credit score and understand it
does take time. If we all do the right thing the ISPs
won't keep making it so much harder for us.

Motivation is King and Value Proposition is Queen.

2009-03-25T09:22:00.001-07:00

You need both for a successful marriage.
Before I get started talking about your value
proposition I wanted to ask right up front to please
send this link to your friends and share this free
Ezine with them...

www.strategicprofits.com/ezine

We work had to bring these to you and we want to
share them with people who we can make a
difference with. Again, don't be lurkers, share the
wealth. Thanks.

If you had just ten words with which to describe
why people should buy from your company instead
of another's, what would you say?

About a week ago, I did a special call and the
subject was "what is your elevator pitch?" That call
sparked much conversation and many great ideas.
We talked on that call about the importance of your
value proposition. As a result, I have been receiving
many requests to talk more about it. I was also in
Miami this week at the Sherpa event and this came
up again, so I wanted to share this information with
you.

This Ezine may read very sterile, but I feel this will
be the best way to get this important point across.

In a conversion process either in your web site or
landing pages, there is a process that I use to check
to make sure we are following best practices.

That conversion process is C=4M + 3V + 2(i-f) - 2A
Got that? Great. We are off to a good start.

Of course I am kidding and there is much more to
this that I can explain in this Ezine. Go to Marketing
Experiments and brush up on this sequence. For
today's Ezine, the second coefficient of 3V is our
focus. But first just a brief explanation of motivation
is in order to help walk you through the process.

The number one and highest factor in conversion is
4M which is the motivation of the user. Or, where
is your traffic coming from? That is where you get
deep into your channel map. Channel mapping is a
multi-step method to determine the performance
and effectiveness of the channels of traffic that
generate revenue for your business. It enables you
to make smarter business decisions and is much
more effective than simple "Marketing Projections."

In reference to your site, channel mapping is the
process of identifying the primary sources of
traffic, measuring their performance, identifying
"why" they perform as they do, and using that
information to find new channels that will be
effective.

When we refer to motivation however, we are
thinking of 2 components:

1. The nature of the customer's demand for the
product--that is, the reason(s)
2. The magnitude of the customer's demand for
the product

That might be a little gray to you at this point,
but I wanted to give you some explanation of the
most important factor in your conversion. More
on that later.

Now onto Value Proposition or, the primary reason
why a prospect should buy from you. I explained
that this should also be clear to you when
developing your "elevator pitch." This is where you
MUST differentiate yourself from your competitors.

It is okay to match what your competitors can offer,
but there must be one or more major reasons that
set you apart. You need to excel in at least one
element of value. When you excel, you become the
BEST CHOICE for your customer.

The value proposition for your company is
different from the value proposition for your product.
You must address both, or what I should say is that
you need to focus and clearly state your value
proposition for both your company as well as when
you are selling a specific product. They are not the
same. You must have this same mindset when you
are creating your pages for your products. In our
internet marketing world, every product offer you
make has its own value proposition as well.

Ok, here are the principles for creating and
possessing your value proposition. These are
things to be thinking about while you are creating
it:

-A value proposition is not usually determined; it
is discovered. It grows out of need.
- Avoid a sales-driven approach to product
development. You should develop products for the
market.
- Ask yourself this question: "Why should my ideal
prospect (the group you intend to serve) buy from
me instead of a competitor?"
- Compare your answer with the claims of your main
competitors.
- Refine your value proposition until you can
articulate it in a single, instantly credible,
sentence.

Now that you have it, the objective is to convey
your value proposition through your landing pages
and message in the clearest and most compelling
way possible.

There is a significant difference between the
possession of a value proposition and the
communication of a value proposition. While one
group fails because it does not possess an effective
value proposition, another fails because, although it
possesses an effective value proposition, it does not
communicate it effectively.

To overcome the latter problem one must think
holistically about the value proposition. This involves
two key elements; Congruence and Continuity.

Congruence--having every element of your page,
Adwords, emails, etc. either state the value
proposition or support the value proposition.
This can be expressed in your . . .logos, price,
design features, images, colors, etc. . . . And Yes!
It's that serious, and we do think about that in
everything we do here at Strategic Profits. It is a
daily conversation in the marketing group.

And Continuity--making certain that each step of
the buy process either states or supports the
value proposition. (All the collateral supports or
states value prop).

To approximate the potential appeal of an offer,
use this simple ranking system. Its value lies
more in its conceptual framework than its
mathematical precision. It can be a useful tool for
optimizing your offers.

Desire
0-No interest
1-Possible interest
2-High interest

Exclusivity
0-Anywhere else
1-Somewhere else
2-Nowhere else
1. Rank the ideal customer's desire level for the offer.
2. Rank the exclusivity of the offer.
3. Multiply the two integers.
4. If the total is less than 2, re-craft your offer.
Enough said!

Well enough said except for one thing. How are
you drafting your value proposition in times like
today? When people are scared, don't want to
spend money, are hesitant to invest in assets
never mind their education.

Well, here is your answer; get on this free 2 hour
Jay Abraham call and listen to what Jay will teach
you about this process and taking your business to
a whole new level. I promise you won't be
disappointed.

A special message from Rich Schefren...‏

I'm sure you know who Mike Filsaime is...
When I was coaching Mike early on in his career,
I could see this guy was going places.
But I had NO idea he would change the face of
internet marketing forever when he released this.

Get Yours Here

With Butterfly Marketing, Mike offered a simple,
no-hassle system for making websites go viral and
turning your little internet business into a mega
marketing empire.

And thousands of people jumped on board--many
of them generating massive income within only days
of implementing Mike's step-by-step program.
And the coolest part? They're still going strong
today!

But here's what's got me perplexed...

While it's true that Butterfly Marketing put Mike
on the map, propelling him to the top of the guru
ranks...

...what he's doing NOW is causing the rest of us
to scratch our heads.

Get Yours Here

Because Mike's decided to give away his entire
Butterfly Marketing course...absolutely Free.
You read that correctly--the same course that
thousands paid $1997 for just a few short years
ago can now be shipped directly to your door with
only a few clicks of the mouse.

This is truly a remarkable opportunity to grab one
of the most powerful systems ever developed for
generating an enormous income from your online
business quickly and easily.

And all you need to do is go here and register.

Get Yours Here

But hurry--Mike's only releasing 5000 copies of
his landmark home study course and software for
free. After they're gone, they're gone.

So stamp your name on one of them NOW.

To Higher Profits,

already, he's upping the ante even more...

Tweedly Deedly Deet....

Hey Val,

Just made a new post to the blog.

Take a look here

So why do I have Michael Jackson's "Rockin' Robin"
going through my head like a broken record?
Because I've been Tweeting like a madman over the
past few months. And it's paying off. BIG TIME.
In this blog post, I'll tell you exactly how Twitter can
create a fan base of thousands and make you a
bundle of cash faster and easier than anything we've
seen for quite a while.

Don't miss this one...

Take a look here

See you inside...

Rich
P.S. Did you know there's a cool little program
that can help accelerate your Tweeting activities
(and multiply your followers ten times over)
without paying a cent?

Yeah, it's a freebie. And it's made my tweeting a
LOT easier (and lot more profitable).

I'll tell you more inside...

My Wife Caught With Her Pants Down‏

2009-03-03T18:12:00.001-08:00

Back in the day, Debi and I lived in Manhattan.

Traffic is always a nightmare in the city. So, if we were
going someplace close, we almost always went on
rollerblades. It was fantastic because we'd weave
through traffic, go down one-way streets in the
opposite direction and hop on sidewalks in a mad dash
to our destination.

But ever since we moved to sunny Boca Raton, Florida,
our blades have been gathering dust.

This weekend, we decided to break out the blades and
have some fun as a family. But before we hit the streets,
Debi and I took our girls, Ava and Elle, to Sports Authority
Saturday morning to get them roller-skates.

We found the perfect skates, protective wrist guards, and
slick helmets. Both Ava and Elle decided to wear their
skates out of the store so we put their sneakers in the
boxes and carried all the boxes to the register.

On the way to the front, Elle our four-year old lost her
balance and grabbed onto Debi's sweat pants. But, they
weren't tied so in a split second Debi's pants were down
by her ankles.

So, there she was laughing, boxes in hand and pants at
her ankles.

I quickly put my boxes down, pulled her pants up and got
Elle back on her feet.

And, in that moment I remembered why I fell in love with
Debi.

She didn't panic, she didn't scream, she just laughed at
the situation she found herself in.

And in that episode, she also displayed one of the key
entrepreneurial success traits that many online marketers
seem to lack - Autonomy.

You see, Debi doesn't really care what others might think.
And this perspective is crucial if you want to succeed in
business today. Bottom line, if you are too concerned about
what other people might think you'll end up paralyzed by fear.
So, what about you?

Do you laugh when you're caught with your pants down?
Or, do you panic and worry about what others might think?
Your answer is a bigger predictor of your success than you
might imagine.

Remember this: You must be emotionally free before you'll
ever get financially free.

More over, think about where you might be hitting a snag
emotionally and you'll most likely find the anchor that's
holding you back financially.

And that my friend, is what you must cast aside on your
journey to success.

To higher profits,
Rich

Follow in the footsteps of success

2009-01-28T18:07:00.001-08:00

Hey Val,

Here's a question I get a lot that you may have too.

"Rich, how can I build a real business on the Internet
and be successful like your coaching clients have?"

I always tell my students to follow in the footsteps of
successful people.

Identify successful people to watch, find out exactly
what enabled them to become successful, and do your
best to emulate the activities and mindset of these
people.

The most important thing you need to know is this...

There is no need to reinvent the wheel.
You don't have to come up with a new way to be
successful that no one has ever used. In fact, this is
the last thing you want to do.

Success leaves signs and footprints. All you have to
do is follow the same signs and walk in the same
footprints where successful people have gone before
you.

So what's the easiest way to follow in the footsteps of
my most successful clients? And use the same proven
system to build the online business of your dreams?

It's right here

I've even made it easy for you to check it out for
yourself... so you can decide if it's right for you.
The few minutes you spend on this web page could be
the turning point in your efforts to make a living online.
You could look back on this day as the day that
launched your business success... and your new life.

It's right here

To higher profits,

Rich
P.S. When I started out online, I was working way too
hard for the money I was making. And I surely wasn't
building a real business.

That's when I got wise and put the real business
strategies that had brought me success before into action.
These same strategies worked for me, and thousands of
successful clients around the world. And they will work
for you too... so you can build a real online business.

Oh crap--the gloves are coming off...

2008-09-24T21:04:00.001-07:00

Have you had it, guys?

I mean REALLY had it?

Are those stupid little walls between you and your destiny making you frustrated, angry, and ready to spit nails?

You know the ones I'm talking about:

Trying to do everything right the first time...
Being too linear in your thinking...
Working too hard for too little...
Always feeling two steps behind...
Well, I know what you're going through.

Yes, believe it or not, I struggle with many of the same constraints you do.
Seems like very time I start to get a little momentum... SMACK! One of the same ol' friggin' roadblocks pops up and says,
"Hello, remember me? I'll be standing between you and your success today--and every day".

AAARRRGGGHH!

It's enough to make a guy toss up his hands and say, "Screw this. It ain't worth the hassle."

But don't. Please don't. Because help is on the way.

There's light at the end of the tunnel. And no, it's not an oncoming freight train.
It's the guru to the gurus, holding a flashlight and a GPS that will lead you out of this mess--once and for all.

Follow The Light, guys

Rich Schefren has had it with constraints too. And he's taking the gloves off.
In his new Global Profits System (GPS), Rich takes on the biggest nightmare to ever plague entrepreneurs: all that dinky little crap that seems so insignificant, yet holds so much stopping power.
Inside this in-depth coaching program, you'll walk side-by-side with Rich as he guides through a 30-day program that's not only going to push aside those constraints that are keeping you from success...
But literally PUMMEL those SOB's into submission.
Isn't that what you really want?

Follow The Light, guys

Rich's coaching programs are legendary for reversing the downward slide of a business and delivering a tidal wave of profits in record time..

Or actually, I should say "coaching PROGRAM"--with no "s". Because Rich doesn't do this type of thing anymore.

In fact, after the first program concluded (the same one that helped launch Joel Comm, Mike Filsaime, Michel Cheney, Tellman Knudson and many more into the top guru ranks), he swore off ever doing another one.

Why? Because it's an intense, grueling process.

Rich is on the phone with you virtually every day for a month...he's drilling you with questions about your business...and he's coming up with revolutionary strategies and tactics to pull massive profits from unlikely places.

This is not a "go to my blog and read this article once a month" thing. Rich virtually grabs you by the hand and FORCES you to be successful.

And if you can't handle it, then you shouldn't look at this page.

Follow The Light, guys

So are you ready?

Ready to fight through the roadblocks that are keeping you from the wealth, freedom, and lifestyle of your dreams?

Ready to finally discover how to eliminate those nasty walls you keep banging your head against?

Ready to smash your constraints once and for all?
Good--because Rich just pulled the gloves off. And he's about to go all UFC on those bad boys.

DING DING. Round one is underway...

Follow The Light, guys

Sincerely,

Val Slastnikov

*IT Solutions - Better, Cheaper, Faster*

P.S. I know this email may have sounded a bit overly aggressive, but I did that to get your attention...

Because make no mistake about it: you're in a battle.
A battle for your time. A battle for your resources. A battle for your business profits.
And this battle is to the DEATH.

So you need someone in your corner who will lead the charge and fight for you tooth and nail...someone who's a leader among leaders...someone who knows how to defeat constraints and help you achieve the victory that's eluded you for way too long.

And that someone is Rich Schefren.
So you gonna let them win?

Have you read Rich Schefren's latest Report, "The Uncertainty Syndrome" already? I did, and so did this attractive young lady that calls herself a "Video Marketing Queen". Her real name is Maria Andros, and she responded to Rich Schefren's Challenge to identify the biggest Constraint in her business that is holding her back. As per Maria, she is "only two and a half constraints away from becoming the first Female Guru Online."

Rich Schefren on Outsourcing (featuring IM OutSourcerer & Eva Schefren)

2008-09-18T18:42:00.001-07:00

Jeff Walker to me
show details 6:03 AM (14 hours ago)

As I type this, Rich Schefren has been on a
live video stream for about 18 straight
hours - and he plans to keep going for another
6 hours... he's trying to make it to the 24
hour mark.

The dude is just plain crazy... he just keeps
answering question after question live on the
video stream - he's totally fueling himself
on Diet Coke, coffee, and cold Chinese
takeout.

So WHY is he doing it? To celebrate that fact
that he FINALLY finished his latest report on
building your Internet business.

Rich has basically built his entire business
(and it's an EIGHT figure business) based on
his free reports - they are THAT good.

Basically, once or twice a year, he puts out
one of these killer business-building reports
and blows everyone away.

Then the reports get downloaded tens of
thousands of times, and then when he finally
decides to actually sell something, well...
everyone wants to buy it.

It's a pretty effective formula, and it all
starts with Rich's killer report. There's a
ton of great business building strategy in
it.

Bottom line, go get the new report and read
it... you can thank me later. Here's the link:

Does This Guy Ever Let Up?

2008-09-11T19:00:00.001-07:00

Val here...and I'm shaking my
head over this one...

Find out why

See, Rich Schefren just held the teleseminar to beat all
teleseminars, a star-studded 2-hour phone call that broke
virtually every record in the book.

The reaction was ENORMOUS, with thousands of internet
marketers listening in--and thousands more trying to.
Well, you'd think a guy would kick back and take a break
after an unprecedented event like that one, right?

RIGHT?

Find out why

But this isn't just any ol' run-of-the-mill marketer we're
talking about here. This is Rich friggin' Schefren.
Guru to the gurus.

Mr. Manifesto.

And for a limited time, he's not only made the call available
to anyone...

He's also added 3 in-depth case studies to go along with it.
(Dude, give it a REST, wouldja? You're making us look bad.)

Find out why

It's true--you can hear the call in its entirety PLUS in-depth
audio recordings of Rich talking with Jim Edwards, Mike Filsaime,
and Hans and Dani Johnson.

These case studies go 'behind the scenes" with each of these
A-list marketers, revealing their most secret business
(and personal) struggles...and how they overcame them.
If you said to yourself "I'm must be the only one going through
this", you're wrong.

DEAD wrong.

And these case studies will prove it.

Find out why

Check 'em out right now. I honestly don't know how long Rich
is going to make them available. They may even be gone by
the time you read this.

Better check just to make sure.

Find out why

See you there...
Val

P.S. Let's face it--constraints are something we all experience
in our business.

There's always going to be something blocking the way between
where we are...and where we want to be.

The key is to find a way to overcome those constraints and
keep moving forward. And with this call and these 3 case studies,
Rich points us in the right direction.
Well worth your time--I guarantee it...

Rich Schefren's office got flooded! LOL

2008-09-10T21:59:00.001-07:00

Hi guys,

Just yesterday morning I heard from Frank Kern that Rich Schefren was diagnosed with the "Hughes Syndrome" (as it turned out, Frank was just joking around,

as you can see for yourself here) - and now a new trouble:

RICH SCHEFREN'S OFFICE GOT FLOODED!

Well, at least, that's what I thought when I heard from his office today. I briefly browsed through the message and when I saw the word "TSUNAMI" in it, I was about to start worrying BIG TIME about Rich and all of his employees, especially after what we've heard about those terrible hurricanes lately, and stuff...

I almost reached for the phone and wanted to offer them all to use my own home here in Canada as a shelter... well, at least until the tide subsides, that is!...

Fortunately, after I read the message once again I was relieved to find out that I was wrong. Stupid me! The Tsunami Rich's message was talking about turned out to be no more than just a 'figure of speech'...Wow, he almost got me scared again! And that is twice in the last 24 hours!

But you can imagine how worried it got me for just a second...

Here's what the message really said:

"We had over 7,000 people register just for the FIRST call and than all hell broke loose… Thousands and thousands registered for the rest of them and replays… and you can see all the activity and what they had to say at the blog. It was just off the charts. This call has taken a life of its own and has hit us off guard. We had to scramble to accommodate everyone.

Rich’s new report has been one of the hottest topics and I can’t wait to share it with you all. The people involved with making this report and launch happen are the who’s who of business and marketing leaders. They are the people that have been involved in launches that have gone to stratospheric levels. Don’t let the opportunity to capitalize on those behemoths pass you by. Get involved today and be part of this undisputed tsunami..."

So, now that I can have a sigh of relief, here's my little gift for you, guys:

Go and grab THE RECORDING of Rich Schefren's call, along with the TRANSCRIPT of the call, before Rich and his Team decide to take their generous offer off the table...

GRAB THE RECORDING AND THE TRANSCRIPT HERE

You see, among other things, Rich also told me in confidence that they're only doing this for a short time...

So I wanted to make sure that you saw this ASAP...

Keep smiling!

Val

P.S. One more quick favour before you go...

When you're on the online recording page, tell 4
or 5 of your friends about the call. Rich said they'll have a
special surprise for you when you do.

They don't have to be Internet marketers. They can
come from any business background or any level,
newbie to experienced.

But if they've ever faced constraints in their
business, they'll know EXACTLY what we're talking
about here.

And who knows? Maybe the content inside will help
someone get past a roadblock...which will make you
look like a hero.

Can't hurt, right?

Rich Schefren Diagnosed With 'Hughes Syndrome'

2008-09-10T07:13:00.001-07:00

A Special Bulletin by Frank Kern, the Author of 'Mass Control'

WARNING: THIS COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE ...INCLUDING YOU.

Dear Friend,
First of all, Rich Schefren is going to be O.K.
It's not like he's about to die or anything.

But He Is Showing Signs Of A Serious Health Problem

I call it the "Hughes Syndrome".
You remember who Howard hughes was, right? The billionaire business mogul who eventually went kind of nuts.
...OK, he went completely nuts.
They made a movie about him called "The Aviator" a few years ago. (Great movie by the way.)
Anyway - Howard Hughes would become so obsessed with his work that he'd lock himself in a room for weeks and even months ...refusing to see anyone!
He event went so far as to have his meals slid through a special slot in his door ...working around the clock like a man possessed.

Rich Schefren Is Starting To Do The Same Thing And It's Freaking Me Out!

He hasn't gone as far as to have his meals slid under the door ...yet, but he is working like a man possessed (and he's been at it for months!)
See, a few months ago he called me at ZERO O'CLOCK in the morning (secret code for "too damn early to be calling") about a new breakthrough he'd discovered.
Rich figured out that most people like us pretty much know everything we need to know when it comes to running a business.
At least we know enough to get up and running.
For example, everyone knows you gotta have a "hungry" market.
And everybody knows you gotta sell something people already want.
And everybody knows you gotta use good compelling sales copy.
And if you just do those three things, you can pretty much get up and running and make a living.
No big deal, right? Easy.

But Hardly Anyone Actually Does It. Why?

What Rich discovered is that almost everyone has one hidden roadblock that's keeping them from moving forward.
He calls it a "constraint" ...and it could be a different constraint for different people.
For some, it might be a limiting belief. For others, a time management problem.
Whatever.
The point is, we all got 'em ...but very few people are able to identify these hidden constraints that hold you back.

Does This Sound Like You?

Have you ever bought a marketing course or been to a seminar and been like, "Yeah, that was pretty good but I knew that already."
Or have you ever felt like you already "know" marketing ...but you're just a little stuck when it comes to doing it?

It's Because Of Those Damned Contraints Rich Is Talking About

See ...you're not alone. Almost EVERYONE goes through this. And the reason why is there's one little hidden constraint somewhere that's standing in your way.
And once you identify it, it's pretty easy to overcome.
And once you overcome it,

It's Like Pouring Rocket Fuel Onto A Fire!

Your business takes off like crazy. And what's cool is it actually gets easier!
You'll find yourself making more progress in a month than you did in the previous year. I'm talking about exponential growth here.

I Know Because It Happened To Me

You know that Mass Control Giveaway promotion I just did? The one where I got 2,000 customers in less than 8 minutes after the official launch time?
Almost never happened because of a hidden constraint.
But once I identified the constraint, I was off to the races.
And I had 2,000 new customers only two weeks later.
Talk about a breakthrough!
And I owe it all to this discovery of Rich's.

Rich Is Going To Show You How You Can Harness This Breakthrough ...FREE!

Like I said at the beginning of this letter, Rich has been working like a mad scientist on a method to identify and overcome hidden constraints that are keeping you from making the money you want.
And he's teaching these new breakthrough concepts FREE.
You can get them here.

DO NOT END UP ALL FREAKED OUT AND OVER WORKED

Listen, remember in the headline where I said "this can happen to you"?
What I meant was that you can end up overworked and all freaked out ...in a hurry.
Sometimes it's a "good" thing. like in Rich's case. He's made some amazing discoveries in the past few months and he's been burning the midnight oil in order to share them with the world.
But the "flip side" is the more common scenario.
Where you end up under pressure ...banging your head against the wall trying to move forward in your business ...and hitting a different roadblock every day.
I'm telling you, that's because of this hidden constraint thing. It happens to everybody and once you know about it, your life becomes 1,000 times easier.
Trust me on this.

Click here and learn what Rich has to share with you.

It's free and it's incredibly valuable.

This WILL help you. I can vouch for it from personal experience.

Talk soon,
Frank
P.S. I recorded a 6-minute interview with Rich talking about what my personal hidden constraint was and how I overcame it.
Rich will also share that with you. Free. Go here.

Listen To My Interview With Dr. Robert Cialdini

2008-08-15T10:49:00.001-07:00

Hey Val,

I just made a new post to the blog...

Give it a look

Inside is a very important link to an interview I did
recently with Dr. Robert Cialdini, author of the new
book "Yes!: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways To Be
Persuasive."

Dr. Cialdini and I spoke for over and hour on a wide
variety of topics, including social media, blogging,
testimonials, continuity programs and more.

I have to say this was one of the most thrilling
moments of my career so far. And you can download
it here for nothing.

Give it a look

If you ever wanted to sneak into the mind of your
prospect and find out what makes them tick, you
MUST listen to this interview.

Deal?

Give it a look

To Higher Profits,

Rich

P.S. Dr. Cialdini's findings on the science of
persuasion have changed the way marketers do
business.

All of my guru pals--ALL of them--have his books
within reach of their desktops, In fact, my own copy
of "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion" is so
dog-eared and marked up, it's barely decipherable.

Don't miss out on what Dr. Cialdini has to say in this
interview...his insights could mean the difference
between success and failure in your business.

Rich Schefren, CEO of Strategic Profits, presenting Part 1 of "What do you Really Know about Business?"

If you are looking for the tools to build a successful internet business, this seminar will help you identify business strengths and business success.

Tips from Brad Fallon, StomperNet Co-Owner

2008-06-02T05:19:00.001-07:00

You've probably heard that Strategic Profits and StomperNet have just signed a Strategic Alliance giving a great opportunity for all Internet Marketers out there to benefit from both the Strategies of Rich Schefren's Business Coaching program, as well as from the Tactics of StomperNet's Online Marketing Program.

Here's what Rich said about the power of that Alliance:

"This pairing of StomperNet and Strategic Profits gives

you much more than just another "extra". It delivers a

solid, proven-to-work road map to success by marrying

two of the cornerstones of business--Strategies and

Tactics--into one monumental training package.

Guys like Mike Filsaime, Jim Edwards, Jeff Walker, Joel
Comm, Willie Crawford, Ryan Deiss, Sterling Valentine,
Tellman Knudson, and oh yes, Brad Fallon, became
internet marketing house hold names after going through
this same program.

This is the one that put me on the map...the one that
sparked the wildly successful Internet Business
Manifesto...the one that has transformed literally
hundreds of businesses into multi-million dollar
empires.

And it fits so naturally with the tactical brilliance
of StomperNet, allowing you to move seamlessly from my
strategy training into Brad and Andy's breakthrough
program, as they hand you the tools and resources to
turn that strategy into seven figures--FAST."

Daddy, Why Won't They Let Me On The Plane?

2008-03-29T12:12:00.001-07:00

Hey Val,

Rich here, and my daughter's tear-choked words are
still ringing in my ears as we speak...

See, last Monday was one of the most frustrating days
in recent memory. Just when I thought it couldn't get
it any worse, it did.

And it kept going from there.

Here's what happened in a nutshell...

I took Deb and the girls to the airport to catch an
early flight. They were heading for Barbados for a few
days of sun, sand, and quality Mommy-Daughter time.

I dropped them off, kissed everyone goodbye, and was
headed back to the office when...

BOOM! The Porsche blows a tire.

Grrrr....

So I'm on the shoulder of I-95, jacking up my vehicle
and swearing under my breath while cars zoom within
inches at 90-plus MPH...and my cell rings.

It's Deb--with more bad news. Ava's passport expired
last week, and they won't let her through security.

AAARRRGGH!

Now, if you've traveled out of the country recently,
you know how much of a pain that passports can be.

You might as well get in a boat and start rowing--
chances are you'll get there faster.

So I finish changing the tire and double-time it back
to the airport (looking oh-so-presentable with my
sweat-soaked shirt and black-smeared hands) to help
straighten this out.

Long story short, we spent the next 8 hours or so
jumping through hoops, filling out forms, and arguing
heatedly with State Department reps...

...until finally, around 6 pm, my family lifted off the
runway towards Barbados.

As I was driving back home, lamenting the fact
that I had lost an entire day of productivity, two
thoughts struck me that immediately began to ease my
mind...

The first was this: How cool is it that I was able to
just blow off a day of work and help my wife with this
mishap?

Many people can't do that. There's no way they could
just leave their cubicle and take care of an emergency
without getting permission from this supervisor and
that manager...

But because I run my own successful business, I was
able to call the shots--not someone else. And that's a
gratifying feeling if there ever was one.

Secondly, I thought, "How many other people have the
freedom to just zip off to a beautiful first class
resort on a Caribbean island at a moment's notice?"

That's how the Schefrens work. When we need a break, we
don't plan months in advance and shop for the best
deals.

We just pick up the phone, call our travel agent, and
book an island getaway...a cruise...a week at
Disney...a ski trip, whatever strikes our fancy.

And we don't worry about budgets or securing vacation
time or any of that stuff--we just go.

(In fact, I did some quick math, and while I was
speaking at a recent event to an audience that included
high-ranking reps from Google and Microsoft, Deb's trip
was paid for in my first 10 minutes on stage.)

So how did we get to this point in life, where we
literally have the freedom to do anything we want--
whenever we want--without a care in the world?

Simple.

I can trace it back to one thing...one single strategy
that changed everything in my business virtually
overnight and gave me the lifestyle I've always dreamed
of.

This is, by far, the single most influential strategy
anyone ever taught me...and the most important
element of your business growth.

It virtually guarantees your success if you follow the
process, delivering the wealth, freedom, and
opportunity you've always desired in the fastest
possible time.

So what is it?

Go to the blog right now to find out.

To Higher Profits,

Rich

P.S. Sorry this was a little longer than most of my
emails, but it's one of the most important that I've
ever written...

Because if I didn't have the freedom to help my family
in their time of need, last Monday's frustrations would
have been multiplied a hundredfold.

And just the fact that we're able to do these types of
things--travel, see the world, give our kids
unforgettable experiences...it's just remarkable.

But I can trace all the success, all the wealth, and
all the incredible business growth of Strategic Profits
to this one thing...

..and you can have it too--right now--and begin your
own journey to unparalleled freedom in the next few
moments.

Give It Away, Give It Away, Give It Away

2008-03-23T13:34:00.001-07:00

Sorry–had to get my Red Hot Chili Peppers on for a second.

But if you’ve been with me for while, you know that I’m all about giving stuff away for free…

I believe that’s the key to real success. When you give something away, you’ll eventually reap the rewards tenfold–or more–while creating a loyal audience of followers who hang on your every word.

And I’m not talking about just “any” stuff. I’m talking about your BEST OF THE BEST.

(Basically, if you’re clinging to it with both hands, trying to figure out how much to charge, you should really be handing it out for nothing.)

Because this resonates big-time with your audience. Those who were unsure about you will become fans. Those who were wishy washy followers will now become loyal beyond words. And those who have already bought from you will become your biggest cheerleaders (as well as AWESOME JV Partners).

But I know what you’re thinking:

“Rich, if I give everything away, what am I going to sell”?

Patience, young grasshopper. That will come in time, when you know more about your audience and what they REALLY want…as opposed to what you THINK they want.

And when you do strike that hidden vein of gold, you’ll be in a much better position to sell more products, gain an even bigger following, and become the maven in your marketplace that I know you can be.

So with that in mind, I want to give you a little freebie of my own today…

A couple of weeks ago I posted a bunch of video clips from the New Beginnings event in Orlando.

One of the most popular clips was from Product Launch Master Jeff Walker. Jeff offered some killer strategies for crafting a product launch that generates a massive tidal wave of clicks to your Buy Button.

In fact, it was so popular, we decided to give you even MORE of Jeff’s jaw-dropping presentation.

So without further adieu, here’s a 9 minute chunk of Jeff explaining some of the hidden nuances of a successful product launch.

Just another way of saying “thanks” for your continued support of Strategic Profits.

Enjoy!

Have you ever noticed that when you’re following the path you were meant to travel down… the universe has a weird way of helping you along the way?

Here’s an amazing but true story about what happens when you find your life’s work and the synchronicity, good fortune, and weird circumstances that seem to come out of nowhere.

It all started nine months ago while conducting research for The Attention Age Doctrine 1. I was at a sticking point, struggling with too many competing concepts, and no clear way to distill them down. I had been fraught for days trying to “crack the code” that would crystallize everything swimming inside my mind.

I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t write, and didn’t know what to do with myself. Finally, I sat down checked some emails, and then surfed the web looking for inspiration and clarity.

Then WHAMO! I stumbled onto a blog that changed everything. In fact, reading this blog shifted the direction of my professional life. ..

show details Jan 25 (2 days ago) Reply

Hey Val,

You know the old joke…”He’s a legend in his own mind?”

Well this Sunday, my personal mentor and famed marketing
maven JAY ABRAHAM is joining me for a historic
teleconference with one mission in mind:

To begin transforming YOU into a legend in your prospects’
minds!

Put simply, Jay and I are going to make you famous.

For two solid hours, we’re going to help you take the first
giant steps to transforming yourself into the dominant
thought leader... the leading authority... THE MAVEN in your
market.

And we’re also going to invite you to join us to complete the
process ... IN PERSON!

This call is absolutely essential for you if you really, truly and
sincerely want your online or offline business to explode past
all of your other competitors…

If you genuinely want to see your income multiply
geometrically…

And if you want to see your business, productservice – and
yourself – catapulted into stratospheric levels of respect,
response and financial prosperity.

In network theory and sociology, a maven is someone who
has a disproportionate influence, power and ethical control
over all the other members of the network.

The role of a maven in propagating true knowledge and
defining market preferences has been well established in a
wide range of fields, from politics to social trends.

In recent years, respected economists have spent a great
deal of time studying the powerful influence that mavens
have over markets and all the people who make them up.

You see, if a marketplace depends on information, then the
people with the most information must be THE most
important.

Between us, Jay and I have helped hundreds of entrepreneurs,
business owners and marketers achieve maven status in their
industries.

They are seen by the marketing world as the most trusted
experts in their fields. Our clients are recognized by their
markets (and their jealous competitors) as being the most
influential voices in their marketing universes.

Their markets have concluded that the people we’ve worked
with must have the most quality information, the most
important information, and the greatest understanding.

Consequently, our clients become THE "go to" source. They
are the ultimate authorities, the guiding lights, the thought
leaders of their field.

And once we do this for you, the benefits that go along with
attaining this level of prestige, respect, esteem and influence
begin flowing almost instantly:

-- You become the first choice provider of information,
products, services.

-- You command premium pricing and thus, earn markedly
greater profit margins than your competition.

-- Your marketing is eagerly awaited, enthusiastically
    embraced and totally trusted by all who receive it. Hence,
    far more people buy. Their loyalty levels shoot off the
    chart.

-- New success and wealth flow to you naturally...
automatically... and your income explodes by an order of
magnitude.

And it all begins for YOU this Sunday, January 27th!

Registration for this historic event is strictly limited – and
FREE!

If you know anything at all about me, you know that my
clients pay me millions of dollars every year to help them
achieve dominance in their markets.

And if you know anything about Jay, you know that his
clients eagerly pay him $5,000 per hour for his inspired
advice.

But this Sunday, you get BOTH of us for TWO FULL HOURS...
focusing 100% of our energies, experience and genius on
lifting you head and shoulders above your competition and
getting you all the attention from prospects you deserve --
FOR FRE E!

Space is strictly limited: You must register NOW!

More than 300,000 entrepreneurs and marketers are reading
this invitation right now – but to keep this historic one-time
event intimate, we’ve reserved only 1000 slots.

The ONLY way I can guarantee you’ll have the opportunity to
attend is for you to click one of these links to register now!

Click here to register for the 12:00pm Eastern time call

Click here to register for the 5:00pm Eastern time call

To higher profits,

Rich

I really don't know what's gotten into me lately...

2007-12-20T21:32:00.001-08:00

I really don't know what's gotten into me lately...

I guess it could be
---the Christmas spirit,
---the lack of sleep, or...
---the high from another home-run launch.

Whatever it is, I better get control of it - fast, because I just agreed to give away:

ANOTHER $900,000 WORTH OF BONUSES!

Here's the deal:

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.

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!

So here's what I am going to do:

I'm calling an audible... the launch rules have changed.

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.
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.

So my friend, it's do or die time...

Go and get your own copy of Business Acceleration Program right now

Just so we're clear - I won't be as generous the next time around.
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.

How can I be so sure? Just ask my clients.

If you'd like to learn more about this incredible program:

Go and get your own copy of Business Acceleration Program right now

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

To higher profits,
Rich

PS - I decided to forego the hype and hoopla about how crazy my office
was today, or that even with load balancing our site through 3 servers
we still crashed twice.

It was a crazy day, but the disappointment of missing out on the bonuses
really struck a nerve with me, and I needed to set things right.

Go and get your own copy of Business Acceleration Program right now

2007-12-19T08:49:00.001-08:00

… at Noon (Eastern) this Thursday, December 20th?

This is when Rich Schefren releases his BUSINESS ACCELERATION PROGRAM to the World!

What is his program all about?

Q: “Is your Business Acceleration Program appropriate for the person who wants to avoid being involved with a “big” company? Can you actually BE the ‘hermit in a cave’ (where the cave is your living room) and use the Business Acceleration Program?”

Q: “I am a complete newbie. This seems to be for those who have already gotten their feet wet. Is this true or can this actually help someone like me, too?”

Q: “You’ve had lots of questions about whether your program is useful for complete newbies, but I’m a little further on. Will it work for me?”

A: I addressed this in my last post when I said …

Fear not — the whole point of my Business Acceleration Program is to simplify and uncomplicate the process of growing a business. And the fact is, these tools can be even more powerful in the hands of a person who’s just getting started.

In the early stages of a business, you’re lean, mean, hungry and fleet-footed able to incorporate new tools in the twinkling of an eye!

My Business Acceleration Program is a tool. A whole toolbox, actually. And it’s packed hundreds of hammers, screwdrivers and wrenches you need to build a world-class online business today.

You get things that save you time, save you money, eliminate workday drudgery & get you the information you need to hammer the competition… and even some tools that make it possible for you to do things that you couldn’t do in a million years with your bare hands!”

Now, I’ll go even further….

I honestly can’t think of a program that is better suited for people at every stage of web marketing: Newbies to seasoned pros … those whose mission is to build a small, manageable company or a massive global corporation online … and everyone in between.

Here’s why… Read the rest at Rich Schefren's blog

A blizzard of questions - a ton of answers...

2007-12-18T10:54:00.001-08:00

Hey Val,

...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)

To Higher Profits
Rich

PS We’re making a big announcement tomorrow – so watch your inbox!

Let’s get a few things straight

2007-12-02T02:05:00.001-08:00

I just had to publish this Posting where Rich responds to some comments to his blog posting called "I Don’t Think We Can Be Friends Anymore":

November 23rd, 2007 12:07 pm Rich Schefren

Alrighty…

Let’s get a few things straight.

When I said, “We can no longer be friends”, I was referring to my readers, prospects, clients, and fellow internet marketers that claim they’re listening to me, agreeing with me, but still (for some strange reason) not hearing my message.

I despise opportunistic thinking (as opposed to strategic thinking). It’s been one of my central rallying points since starting Strategic Profits.

Here’s why: It’s a bug (like a software bug), a thinking virus of some sort, residing in the brains of all those infected..

I say it’s a bug because it’s flies in the face of all reality. It’s a desire to get something for nothing. And that my friends is the one of the initial ingredients to everything bad in this world.

The PARASITE inside must be starved – yet, the opportunist thinker does the opposite – it feeds it.

When you focus your attention on a free ride to your dreams – and you pay whoever promises you the fastest and easiest trip, you can be guaranteed only one thing – the destination is never what was sold to you.

So, if you really believe there’s a magic “SECRET” that stands between yourself and massive wealth, or that there are real people (just like you and me) who know the secrets, but for some reason they are “SECRETS THEY DON’T WANT YOUTO KNOW”. Then you are either paranoid, scarcity minded, or insane – not three qualities I look for in my friends.

So, if I’ve been describing you - I don’t want to be friends with you anymore – it really is as simple as that.

Onward…

A few readers have questioned why i would be friends with Mike Filsaime, and using him as an example of someone who sells “crap”.

At first I ignored these comments because they aren’t even on the same page of this post. There’s a big difference between an opportunity seeker and a sleezy marketer (which is what certain readers were accusing mike of being – which I disagree with 100%). I was writing about opportunity seekers and some of you felt it was a good place to point fingers at Mike and basically accuse him of sleezy marketing.

I saw it but, I ignored it, hoping one of my readers would address the issue for me so I didn’t need to get involved.

Yes, it’s true Mike Filsaime IS a close personal friend of mine. In fact, I feel extremely fortunate to be such close friends with Mike.

He was the friend that pushed me just enough to convince me to release the Internet Business Manifesto, He was the friend who believed in my message so much, he called all of his affiliates to personally get their commitment to mail for me. On top of all that, there’s even more. On my long list of well known clients – he was the ONLY (yes –only) guru who ever gave me credit when he was on stage in front of hundreds or thousands of marketers.

So, you can probably understand, when it comes to Mike Filsaime I am more than just a little biased.

But I am not only friends with Mike Filsaime because of what he’s done for me. In fact, there’s a bigger reason. I’ve got massive respect for Mike, he’s and I are very different types of people - in fact, sometimes I wish I acted a little more like Filsaime.

Mike’s an action oriented guy that gets things done fast. It’s that quick “get it done” quality that makes Mike one of the most successful guys in our industry and someone I admire.

Now, I am not going to defend every product he’s ever produced, it’s not my job to, and that’s not how I judge someone. I am also not going to defend his good reputation because a few like to question it. Anyone can do a google search on Mike, and make up there own mind.

Let’s take a look at some of the recent products from Mike Filsaime.
• PayDotCom
• Butterfly Marketing
• $5000 Workshop with glowing reviews
• The 7 Figure Code
• i5 Gold Mentoring Program
• Viral Friend Generator (I use it as you have seen)
• and several other quality products, software, and services that are used by thousands all over the web today.

I think it is unfair for any new person to marketing or new reader to my blog that may not know Mike, to get any impression of him based on the comments made by the many on this blog that may not know the real facts of his business (some that i have outlined above.)

If anyone wants to say that Mike does not run a quality value based business, then they really do not have there ear to the ground in this community.

I think I would NOT be a friend to Mike to allow this blog post to go off topic in such a way where the facts are just not stated correctly and I wanted to let my readers know that I think Mike’s products are great I happen to know he really cares about his customers and the value he create for them.

He’s one of the good guys and I refuse to have a few point to one out of his over 100 products as proof of anything.

Thanks for reading,
Rich Schefren

Jaime Luchuck felt just like you... every morning and every

Attract what you want in your sleep?

2007-10-26T02:27:00.001-07:00

Hey Val Slastnikov,

Do you struggle with focus problems, procrastination or stress on a daily basis? How about all three?

Now it’s no secret that I’ve dealt with ADD my whole life. It can really destroy your focus and productivity. Lucky for me and other gurus with ADD, the condition also allows us to hyper-focus at times.

Then we get in the zone and stay there for hours on end.

But people that don’t have ADD have trouble focusing like this. Staying focused and keeping the stress down is a big problem for many people, maybe even you.

What if you could train your brain to be clearly focused and more efficient so you wouldn’t have these problems day after day, week after week?

And what if you could just turn on a CD, go to sleep and develop the clarity needed to get the forces of The Law of Attraction working in your life?

You may already be familiar with Stephen Pierce. He’s an incredible strategist who optimizes businesses and the people who run them. Like me, he helps raise them to higher levels of awareness, opportunity and attraction.

He’s developed an audio program to help you deal with daily challenges and attract everything you want in your life, including business success...

Click Here to see how

Researchers and scientists have proven that if you exercise the right brainwaves you can unleash the enormous power of your mind to your advantage.

Sounds intense, I know... But the more you listen, the stronger your brain becomes. The more clearly you think. The more intense your focus becomes. The easier it is to visualize the things you want to attract to your life.

That’s why I thought you should know about Stephen’s program...

Click Here to find out more

So you can make daily tasks virtually automatic and still have the brain power for creative and advanced thinking when you need it the most.

While being able to visualize what you want more clearly than ever before...
Give your future a boost... Check out Stephen’s program and start optimizing your brain for success and attraction today.

To Higher Profits,
Rich Schefren

P.S. Try the first CD and you’ll see what I mean. One of my staff uses Stephen’s program and he loves it. I think you will too.

Money For Nothing. Never Work Again.

2007-10-10T14:46:00.001-07:00

There's a way you can stop worrying. Stop struggling -- and earn multiple streams of passive income forever, or certainly for a long time to come.

I'm not talking about network marketing. I'm not talking about real estate. I’m not talking about starting a business. I'm not talking about trading options, either.

I'm talking about capitalizing on capitalism; getting control, access or “profit” rights to all kinds of overlooked passive income situations that most business owners never see or seize.

You get to play off of dozens and dozens and dozens of different businesses -- without having to manage, work on them -- or even come in.

We're talking about doing something once, then getting paid for (and from) it forever -- for months, even years, to come.
We're talking about being able to go into any city -- anywhere in the world and finding not one or two -- but literally thousands of businesses with untapped passive income situations -- that you, alone can mine.

Make $1,000; $5,000; $10,000 a month per deal and the revenues quickly mount up -- all while you're not there. Mostly without you personally having to do anything but set the deal up in the beginning.
Control is better than ownership or management.
Just ask the partners of my good friend Jay Abraham and his wealthy clients who've made nearly $500 million in passive income over the years.

Generating passive income sure beats working hard for a living.
Years ago, a good friend of mine wrote a book called "The Lazy Man's Way to Riches." Well, passive income generation has to be the closest thing you'll ever learn about.

Almost no one knows this fact, but...

My good friend, marketing super consultant, Jay Abraham is also considered one of (if not THE) world's leading expert on mastering passive income generation.

Jay has set up over 100 "monster successful" income deals for himself, partners and clients all over the world, in all sizes, types and kinds of business situations.

You name the industry, type of business or country and Jay has found ingeniously simple ways to mine a small fortune from it passively -- for himself, his partners or clients.

Earning tens of thousands of dollars monthly without working may not be YOUR idea of fun... but Jay has found it to be the most joyous, enriching and creatively stimulating thing anyone can do to amass a small or large fortune - without risk. No capital is required, either.

Would you like to gain a short-course introductory education in how it's done?

Would you also like to learn about nearly 25 actual, killer passive income deals Jay has personally engineered?

Would you even like to know specific, instantaneous ways you -- yourself -- could start setting up as many passive income streams as you possibly want?

OK. Then join Jay on a "Special Edition" broadcast he is doing next week of a presentation he originally created as the keynote for Harv Eker's breakthrough "Never Work Again" conference. People paid $2000 a person to attend and hear Jay’s far reaching, breakthrough ideas.

- It's a fast-paced, 2 1/2 hour adventure in ten, exciting Passive Income areas you can mine immediately.
- It shares the specifics on actual deals Jay has accomplished.
- It describes the precise process Jay follows to do the deals. - It provides surprisingly candid instruction in how you can do these kinds of deals yourself.
- It has nothing to do with business building. Marketing is far removed from the powerful ideas you're about to learn.
- These two hours should transform the rest of your economic life.
- Two hours could propel your income into the stratosphere.
- Two hours could turn you from a wage earner or struggling entrepreneur -- into a prosperous master of passive income.

Plus, because he’s a great friend of mine, Jay is even going to work for a full month with 100 people from my group -- without charge -- as a daring performance “challenge”--to prove to the press what you can do. And the monster income you can generate--when Jay Abraham personally mentors you.

Jay regularly sells out his own seminars at $25,000 per person. He’s paid $5,000.00 per hour, $50,000 per day when he advises someone privately.

Plus, frankly, he has never offered unique information like this before at any public or private session he’s ever held.

I doubt if Jay will ever offer it without charge, again.

But, for one week, we're letting three small groups of our email subscribers listen to Jay Abraham tell you exactly how to create gushers of passive income streams for yourself.

If you're at all intrigued -- enroll quickly.

But don't sign up unless you're committed to show up.

Let yourself down -- but please don't let me and my commitment to Jay’s daring experiment down.

I promised Jay we had high quality, “Take-action” people on our list - - who’d "JUMP” at the chance to hear this presentation - gratis. I felt a number of you could pounce on Jay’s offer to mentor you without charge for a month, too -- once you saw how enriching his ideas can be.

This broadcast is intended only for serious people on our list who are ready to throw off their shackles and catapult themselves to a place where they do something once and get paid for it forever. If you can’t see yourself deserving, earning and receiving mounds of Passive Income streams - - please don’t respond.

To me, Passive Income represents the ultimate form of wealth creation, financial security and prosperity you could achieve.

Find out exactly how to do so by clicking to enroll...

Regards,

Rich Schefren
P.S.
Jay Abraham has been my own personal consultant, advisor and mentor for over 10 years. My original thinking on multiple income streams was forged from ideas Jay provided to me.

This is a mammoth thinker, a true wealth building giant and an expert whose ideas can redefine your future financial destiny and life.

The freedom to be yourself - and succeed

2007-09-27T18:01:00.001-07:00

Hey Val,

People always ask me "What's the key to your success, Rich?"

Well, there's only one thing that really stands out in my mind...

Playing to my strengths.

Do you know your true strengths? Strengths capable of propelling you to the kind of success you dream about every day?

I often ask my coaching clients this same question. Because this is really the starting point for anything you want to accomplish in life.
And you'd be surprised how many people can't answer this simple question.

Can you?

When you think about it, how in the world can you expect to gain an advantage in your marketplace if you don’t know your strengths?

My number one recommendation to anyone starting or building a business is this...

Avoid the biggest mistake most online business owners make – find out what your strengths are using a scientific testing method, then leverage your strengths every day.

There are a few serious questions you should ask yourself, like:

Do you have a problem getting started on tasks and projects?
When you start something, is it practically impossible to see it through to completion?
Do you struggle with things you are not good at, hoping you’ll get better?
Do you not have enough time for the most profitable activities in your business?

Well don't feel bad, you’re not alone. Many business owners fall into this same trap. Where you work like a dog but never seem to get much accomplished. Sound familiar?

So now you realize it's time to fix this situation. And I’m going to help you...

How?

You are one of the first people that gets to take advantage of my new Strengths Mastery Advantage system.

The Strengths Mastery Advantage

Through a scientifically proven testing platform, you can find out – without a doubt – exactly what your strengths are. And that’s just the beginning of a process that will transform your business and everything you do.

There's so much to share with you, I just don’t have the space in this message. So go to the web page below to find out all the details.

I'm a living proof that focusing on your strengths and managing your weaknesses leads to success in business. In fact, it's my secret weapon that’s enabled me to become the coach to the Internet gurus.

See you there.

The Strengths Mastery Advantage

To Higher Profits,

Rich Schefren

P.S. You're going to see how you can dramatically improve your business and your life – in about 30 minutes. Imagine how surprised your friends and family will be when you discover your strengths... and they see you enjoying true success - the freedom to be yourself!

The Strengths Mastery Advantage

Respect Me in the Morning

2007-09-23T06:59:00.001-07:00

Hey Val,

Is your online business struggling for respect and attention?
If so, it's time to market your business so it gets both – and a lot of customers as well.

You've probably noticed that the last series on my blog dealt with attention – how to get it, how to hold it, and what kind of influence you can have with it.

I'd like to switch gears to marketing now and how it can help really build your online business.

I've enlisted comedian Rodney Dangerfield (R.I.P.) to help. His "no respect" schtick is perfectly suited for this task.

Consider this question: If you market to your prospects and give them exactly what they want, will they still respect you in the morning?

And will that respect command attention?

So put on your red tie, bug out your eyes, and speak in your best Rodney Dangerfield voice: "I tell you... I get no respect... no respect at all.”

Maybe Rodney couldn’t, but you can...

Go here and leave me your comment.

Under the Influence of Attention

2007-09-18T15:58:00.001-07:00

How influential are you?

Tough question, isn't it? I encourage you to give it serious thought. First, let's define the term to avoid confusion. Influence is the ability to become a compelling force on others. It is an ingredient of persuasion. Influence spreads quickly and easily among an audience. (Don't confuse this with influenza... That's something altogether different.) Influence can bring greater attention to the influencer as ideas and emotions are spread...

You have to know this first...

2007-09-13T20:50:00.001-07:00

Hi Val,

Today I'd like to ask an important question. And it’s totally related to focusing attention on the success of your online business.

Considering how valuable and limited your attention is, you must address this question or risk focusing on tasks that are not going to get you where you want to be.

So take a few minutes now to read today’s post here, and really think about the question.

Let me know how this question affects what you do every day. You can post your comments on my blog.

Your answer could spark the minds of your fellow entrepreneurs.

To Higher Profits,
Rich Schefren

P.S. On Wednesday September 19th, I'll be doing a live webinar with the founder of the autopilot system I use to manage my leads, orders and customers - Infusion CRM.

You can register for the webinar here

If you are doing all of your marketing by hand now, this will be an eye-opening session for you. And if you're using a marketing automation tool already; but wish it could do more - you'll find the system I use every day to be an exciting discovery.

How to easily systematize your business...

2007-09-12T10:34:00.001-07:00

Hi Val,

If you've been with me for any length of time, you know my biggest rule for building a real business is systematizing everything you possibly can.

Having systems in your business enables you to map out processes in a logical way that is easy to follow. This comes in handy when you delegate a task you've been doing yourself.

And it's also useful when you replace an employee and want the new team member to be able to hit the ground running... without a time-consuming learning curve first.

That’s why I' m such a big believer in creating and using process maps, as I mentioned in my recent message about the upcoming Agora Info-Marketing Conference.

Other very important aspects of your Internet business that can be easily systematized are your lead generation, customer acquisition and customer relationship activities.

In fact, if you don't systematize this area of your business, you'll soon find out all of these details are too overwhelming to handle manually.

If I didn't have an autopilot system to manage all of the leads, new orders and customer relationships for Strategic Profits, I would hate to see what my business would look like today. If I even had a business anymore...

People are always asking me how I do this and how I do that in my business. When the conversation has to do with managing my leads, orders and customer relations, I have one bit of advice that will help anyone systematize all of this...

Put your marketing on autopilot as much as you can.
I'm writing you today to let you know about a special strategy session coming up on this very topic. One I know will steer your business in the right direction for massive growth and higher profits in the months ahead.

Garbage for some, Diamonds for others...

2007-09-10T14:51:00.001-07:00

Hey Val,

Some people wonder if I really read all of the comments my readers post on the blog.

Well I do, and I want to share a few very observant comments with you, before I invite you to check out the follow-up to our last Attention Hog post...

Our reader Bill R. was speaking of one of his Attention Hogs -- e-mail -- as "mostly junk, with occasional gems..."

Fred R. had this striking revelation: "Our position in our society is the sum total of the choices that we have made in life. And, information is one of those choices. It all depends on how we use it. What is garbage for some people can be diamond for others. "

Here's part of what Ken F. shared: "I long ago realized that there is trash that is unworthy of my attention… I very much consider your e-mails (and blog entries) one of my better investments of attention for learning purposes…"

And as a side note to Scott Y... Yes, Scott, you do have my attention.
And to Kristina from Bulgaria... Thanks for your kind comments. I assure you I am not a machine. :)

Click here to read today's blog post and you'll see why I create these posts for you on a regular basis.

As long as you fully realize the value of the attention you pay, and make the right choices based on that value, you'll always get something useful in return.

Visit my blog to find out more...

To Higher Profits,
Rich Schefren

P.S. You'll also see how online business owners have leveraged this philosophy time and time again... to make gold out of straw. Really.

A message from my "Favorite Hog'

2007-09-07T12:07:00.001-07:00

Hey Val,

How many people can you think of who demand your attention every day?

And how many people do you give YOUR attention to without them directly asking for it?

Well, today I hope to open your eyes to these people and the events that regularly take your attention without asking.

If you're like many, you give it to them freely before you even realize what’s going on...

So I want to be different. Because you are one of my readers, you have earned my attention.

That’s right. You now have MY full attention.

I really want to know what you think about today’s blog post. I would also like to see who's on your list of Attention Hogs.

After you've read the post and made your list, go ahead and post your comments and your Hog list.

You have given me so much of your attention in the past, it's my obligation to give you my attention now.

So tell me what you have to say... I'm listening.

To Higher Profits,
Rich Schefren

P.S. You can look at some of the Hog lists posted by other readers if you need some help getting started. Then I'm sure you'll have all the inspiration you'll need to create a long list yourself.

Happy Hog Hunting!

Starbucks and Apple have it. Do you?

2007-09-06T08:48:00.001-07:00

Hey Val,

How was Starbucks able to build its empire when people have already been drinking coffee for decades?

How did Apple create such a devoted following of passionate fans?

These successful companies leave clues about how to capture and hold the attention of their target audience. The bottom line - they've made a long-lasting connection with their customers.

What about you? Do you have this kind of connection with your market - like Apple and Starbucks do?

Think about this...

If 100,000 of your perfect prospects showed up at your Web site today - right now - would you be able to capture AND HOLD their attention?

Check out my blog - and leave with a whole new perspective on getting your prospects' attention and keeping it...

To Higher Profits,
Rich Schefren

Find your attention bubble yet?

2007-09-04T20:03:00.001-07:00

Just received from Rich today:

Hey Val,

As you all know, part 2 of The Attention Age Doctrine will be released very soon. I thought it would be a good idea to keep your brain juices flowing on The Attention Age itself - what it brings to the table - and also show you how you can really optimize your productivity and attention for profit.

I've created a quick exercise on how to create your own attention bubble - a bubble where you can really get things accomplished.
In order for you to actually create your "happy" bubble, you have to first be able to know what THE ATTENTION AGE demands of you... and how mastering it will really propel your business.

Get Process Maps of a $300-Million Company!

2007-09-01T09:17:00.001-07:00

Rich Schefren rich@strategicprofits.com to me

Hi Val,

In this email I will reveal how you can get your hands on the process maps responsible for countless fortunes made online... At NO COST!
But first I have a question for you...

How many people do you know that have built not one, but TWO information marketing empires, each worth far more than $100 million in annual sales?

I don't know anyone else but one guy.

Just eight months ago... I had my team pack up our entire office and move it right down the block from HIS office.

Why would I do all this? Well, let me explain...

Earlier this year I had a major issue come up in my business. It forced me to make a difficult yet critical decision. Because of its importance I immediately called three of my most respected friends (all with 10 to 20 million dollar businesses of their own) to get their opinions.

Each suggested the same action I was planning on taking. I felt relieved.

On my way to work the next day, I impulsively decided to pop-in to this business superhero’s office unannounced.

After some small talk about cars and cigars I told him about the problem I had and what I was planning on doing about it.
He gave it a moment’s thought, and then proceeded to tell me all the reasons why I was looking at the situation the wrong way, and how he had worked through a similar challenge many years earlier when one of his companies was still in its early stages.

He then explained what he had done (it was the exact opposite of what I had been planning to do and what my friends had advised.) But as soon as he explained the solution to me, it was obvious how much simpler and more profitable his answer was.

Only in hindsight could I see that taking his advice actually brought Strategic Profits one step closer to following in the footsteps of this man and his legendary success.

A few days later, I called my friends back to share with them his advice and what I had done. They all agreed it was a far superior solution.

It's rare to meet a man who's taken a single business past the $100 million level, much less two businesses. But it's even rarer to find a man who is willing to help you do the same. And sadly most entrepreneurs will never even get the chance to be introduced to him.
Which is why I am sending you this email today.

The man and the legend I've been talking to you about is Michael Masterson. His most recent $100 million success is Agora (actually it’s now approaching $300 million a year.)

And if you couldn't tell by now, I feel extremely lucky to have him in my corner.

Normally if you wanted to get Michael's time and attention, you'd have to agree to pay an ungodly sum, or be crafty enough to move your business right next door and weasel your way in ;-)

In fact, last spring 30 people (me included) paid $10,000 plus expenses to meet with him for a few days at an exclusive oceanfront Palm Beach resort.

But if you are an ambitious entrepreneur... willing to take action now... this really is your lucky day.

Because he’s planning another conference – and this one won’t cost $10,000 or even $5,000 or even $3,000.

It's based on the knowledge and experience of the world's most successful direct response business, Agora Publishing (just one of his many companies.) And it will focus on the area they excel at in particular:

Information Marketing.

I’ll be speaking there, along with my friends Alex Mandossian and Jeff Walker.

And a bunch of the Agora staff.

Agora (and more specifically Michael’s Florida group, Early to Rise, now being run by my good friend MaryEllen Tribby) is truly a goldmine of Information Marketing knowledge. I've been mining their wisdom for a while, and I’m convinced there’s no end to the resources in this goldmine.

To find out what Michael, MaryEllen and their team has in store for the lucky few that get to attend…

Visit this web page to get all the details straight from Agora.

My motivation for sending you this is to give you a chance to join me at this conference.

The bottom line?

If you want to build a real Information Marketing business, instead of just a one-trick-pony, you must attend this event.

I’ll sure as hell be there. In fact if I wasn't already getting paid to speak, I'd gladly pay the conference fee, cash out of pocket.

If you are already at the helm of a multi-million dollar Information Marketing business, I don't have to explain the incredible benefit of being in a room learning from Michael and about a dozen Early to Rise, Agora and other world-class master business builders like Alex and Jeff, who have few equals.

Soaking up strategies from a group like this could literally drive hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars in additional income into your business.

And if you are a startup, you might be interested to hear... that in his "spare time"... between those two $100 million businesses, Michael also took 5 more businesses from zero to the $20 million mark, plus taking 20 startups to the $5 million level.

Michael Masterson knows what it takes to go from "zero to hero."
This is the kind of guy whose team you want in your corner, too.

Go here right away to get all the details:
www.strategicprofits.com/agora

(Want to know one of my closely-held secrets? It's why you can get the process maps I referred to as a gift from me. Make sure you read the P.P.P.S. below...)

See you there!

To Higher Profits,
Rich Schefren

P.S. I am planning on sticking around after the conference sessions so we can compare notes and possibly structure some JVs (because you know the deals happen at the bar and in the lobby.) I'll even buy you a drink and introduce you to the Early to Rise gang who will be there too.

P.P.S. Patrick over at ETR told me there’s a $200 discount deal that expires Wednesday at 5PM so if you’re planning on coming, do it now:

www.strategicprofits.com/agora

P.P.P.S. Only a very few people know this… To make sure I have access to all of the latest strategies and tactics presented at high-level conferences like those put on by Agora, I have a secret weapon.
He’s my assistant that takes the nuggets of gold from these conferences and not only gives me detailed notes, he creates process maps so I can put the presentations into action quickly and easily (whether I outsource the strategies or have them executed in-house.)

This is actually a key contributor of my success that up ‘till now I’ve kept secret.

So why am I now exposing this powerful secret?

Because for all of my subscribers that reserve their spot through our link for Agora's "The Other Side of the Internet" Conference, I’ll be including a special bonus. You’ll get all of the process maps my assistant creates from the entire event. This exclusive bonus will be worth big bucks to you, I can’t even put a price on it.

Have you ever been to a conference where you got great ideas, took great notes but nothing ever happened? Well, this is the secret shortcut to taking other’s closely-held wisdom and having it put into action by others or yourself – creating and using process maps.

So reserve your spot today and I’ll make sure you get the complete set of process maps after the event.

The Success System That Never Fails

2007-08-30T10:51:00.001-07:00

I know I have to make serious adjustments in the way I organize things in my business after I received the following message from Rich today:

Rich Schefren rich@strategicprofits.com to me

"Hi Val,

Do you have a system in place for every aspect of your
business? A long time ago, I didn't utilize systems in my
business - I just operated on instinct. When success
sprouted, I eventually had to bring someone else on board
and that's when I realized how I had failed.

I had no way of communicating how things got done around the
office. My new employees couldn't get inside my brain and I
couldn't expect them to instinctively know what to do - yet
I had nothing on paper that explained my processes.

Having systems in place is vital to the performance of your
business. Even if it's just you - you need to have a system
mapped out on how things are accomplished. If you're the
only one in your company, then maybe you don't need it
written down - but at the very least, you should be able to
verbalize it in a step-by-step procedure.

If you can't explain it in concise terms of what happens at
each interval, then you don't really have a system - you
have a way of doing things.

The word "system" implies that you can classify tasks, organize and rank them in order of importance, and assign them to the people you've designated to be in control of each aspect of the business.

Imagine what would happen if you were in a car accident one
day - and hospitalized for a week or more. Who would run
your company for you? Could you explain to someone how to
operate the daily functions of your business? Instead of a
system, would there be chaos in the workplace?

Probably - if you're not prepared.

It's good to have your systems written out and filed so that
whenever someone else is brought on board - or has to take
over - they'll instantly be able to refer to your model of
doing business and follow it precisely.

Mapping out systems for your business can also give you
insight into how things can be accomplished in a better way.
Your goal is to simplify your process so that it's as
effective as it can be.

Don't be afraid to utilize shortcuts if it won't harm the
end result. There's nothing wise about taking the long route
to success. If there's a tool you could invest in that would
shave hours off of your task, then it's worth it. If you're
doing all of your accounting by hand, and you could set up a
software tool to quicken the procedure, then do it.

When you set up your systems - and you'll need one for
almost every aspect of running your business - do it with
hindsight in mind. Play Monday morning quarterback. What
could you have done better, and how can that happen?

Categorize your systems to help you develop and update them
as necessary. For instance, you might have a system for
tracking sales performance, one for marketing, and another
for sourcing new products or ideas.

If you have a "guinea pig", start testing your systems out
on that person to see if it's easy for another individual to
interpret and use. If any portion of your system needs
further clarification, then go into more detail. You might
know what you mean by "launch AdWords campaign," but
someone else may need you to answer the question, "how?"

Systems give your business a framework. You can always add
onto the system, or tear it down and replace it - but it
gives your operation a structure and a foundation to work
from.

You'll always want to update your systems as time passes.
Maybe new technology has been developed that can replace an
outdated approach to doing business. Perhaps you've
discovered someone to outsource a task to so that you can
concentrate your efforts on more profitable ventures.

Whatever the reason, always look for - and be open to - new
ways of structuring your business so that it's a living
system - not one that's too rigid and opposed to change. You
want to maintain a vision for your company and use creative
means to get you there.

Think of yourself as an architect of your company. It's your
job to create a blueprint for your business operations. You
can always pencil in new additions to the company or erase
structures that need to be phased out.

With a system in place, you'll find you can manage your
business more easily and find success in a shorter span of
time.

An Internet reality show?

2007-08-21T16:55:00.001-07:00

The Internet marketing world is changing before our very eyes. And so is the world of reality TV...

I’m sure you'll agree there is a lot of similarity between many products and services in our marketplace that have come out in the last year.

Well, I've got a brand new concept for you today that has never been attempted before...

If you keep up on Internet business news, you may have heard about Joel Comm's reality show, "The Next Internet Millionaire."

It's live on the web, and I've got to say... It is impressive!

It's so good, Rich has agreed to be a judge on the final episode.
In just two days, "The Next Internet Millionaire" has shot up the charts and is ranked in the top 3000 sites on the web, according to Alexa.com.

Here's what Internet business pioneer Marlon Sanders had to say about it:

"I think everyone will be shocked how high-quality the production is. Joel and his team went all out on this and it really shows. There are going to be many marketing lessons taught in future episodes. It's very much worth your time to watch."

And here's what Super-affiliate Gary Ambrose said:

"Joel Comm told me an idea he had to create his own reality show focused around Internet marketing. To be honest, I never thought it would work. Well, it might be a while before you hear me say this again (just ask my wife) but I was wrong. Not only is the concept behind the show solid, Joel didn't cut any corners on the budget either."

So stop whatever you’re doing and go to this web page to watch Episode 1 of this groundbreaking Internet reality show right now…
Not only will you be entertained, you will discover the most current strategies the top dogs are using to make money online.
And be careful, you may become addicted like I have!

Jane Ford
Editor, Strategic Profits Hotline
P.S. The Next Internet Millionaire is being compared to Trump's "The Apprentice," but with a YouTube twist.

Insufficient or inundated?
Overwhelmed or overloaded?

Most online entrepreneurs just like you either suffer from too little or way too much information:

There simply is no in-between.

Remove Obstacles Between You And The Money

2007-08-15T11:38:00.001-07:00

Rich Schefren <rich@strategicprofits.com>to me

4:11 am (10 hours ago)

Dear Val,

Want a business that RAKES in cash?

Then you need to DEMOLISH the obstacles
that currently stand in your way...

Achieving the kind of success you deserve
is all about removing roadblocks that are
between you and the money that should be
in your bank account.

It's a lot easier than you think.
First, you need to focus on an OUTCOME.

If you're NOT clear about what you want,
then you're not going to get it.

But when you have a clearly defined
outcome, you can start to discern what
knowledge and activities are moving
you closer to achieving that goal.

Then you can establish PRIORITIES.

Otherwise you'll just DROWN in a sea of
information overload and analysis
paralysis. When that happens, it's easy
to become frustrated and make absolutely
NO progress whatsoever.

Then you need to ask yourself...
What work are YOU willing to give up?

The sooner you realize that you can't
do everything yourself, the better.

Entrepreneurs tend to be control freaks.
They're OBSESSED with doing things right.
Now guess what is the biggest factor
that is LIMITING your success?
YOURSELF!
That's right...

If you're doing all the work yourself
you're almost certainly making less money
than you could be. And it will take you
a LOT longer than it should.

Look, wealthy entrepreneurs know how to
build and manage a team. Do you?

That mindset (building a team) is VERY
different from the opportunity seeking
(income limiting) mindset.

These concepts will make a tremendous
difference in your bottom line.

You can learn more about these concepts
in my (free) business-building video:

http://www.strategicprofits.com/profitvault/30Min.html

To Higher Profits,
Rich Schefren

P.S. If you'd like to turbocharge your
progress and build a real (profitable)
operation then I encourage you to check
out my coaching program.

It's changed the lives of hundreds of
entrepreneurs just like you. You can

Can you build a business that runs without you?

2007-08-14T14:02:00.001-07:00

Rich Schefren rich@strategicprofits.com to me

Aug 13 (2 days ago)

Dear Val,

Let me ask you a QUICK question.

If I could give you a more effective business strategy
that would SIGNIFICANTLY "outperform" the approach
you are currently using, would you be interested?

The fact is--that no matter how much experience
you have generating income online, I can PROVE to
you readily by demonstration that you are NOT
maximizing your potential, and I want the opportunity
to show you the way in which you may completely
and easily, DOUBLE or even TRIPLE your revenue in
just a few short months.

Even if you're starting from scratch--I'll show you the
quickest way to build a PROFITABLE online business.

And I'm NOT talking about the type of business that's
here today and gone tomorrow. I've seen enough fly-
by-night websites that make a little money then quickly
kick the bucket. Let's face it, theses are not a real
businesses, these are just short-sighted opportunities
that are nothing but a waste of time.

A real million dollar business has several components:

#1. It is built around an existing demand.

#2. Decisions are based on numbers--NOT opinions.

#3. The owner does not need to be present all the time.

#4. The owner is passionate about the business.

#5. The owner is not afraid to relinquish some control.

#6. The owner knows how to build a team.

#7. The owner understands marketing very well.

Notice how almost all of these components revolve
around the OWNER and not some magic bullet or slick
marketing gimmick? It's time you take a step back from
what you're doing and ask yourself:

"Where did my beliefs about business come from?"

It goes without saying that you're here to learn more
about building an online business. But in order to build
a wildly profitable operation that churns out cash you
need to take a look at YOURSELF first.

There are "gurus" running around all over the place
that will tell you whatever it takes in order to get you to
empty your wallet on their cheap bag of no-good web
tricks.

You know the type I'm talking about, don't you?

And let's face it. It's easy to spend an arm and a leg on
what they're selling because they know EXACTLY what
you want to hear. But in reality... it's like the blind
leading the blind.

Let me share a secret with you...

Most of these "so-called" gurus do NOT have a real
business. Sure they make good money, but it's only
temporary. These guys make a quick-buck but then
they're back on the street, peddling their garbage, in
hopes that some sucker will come along and buy into
their scheme.

If you want to know the TRUTH about what it takes to
build a business that works FOR you, rather than against
you--then I highly suggest you stop everything you're
doing and devour my "Internet Business Manifesto".

"A core problem for a majority of entrepreneurs is that we fail to schedule fun into our day.
We do this because we think we will get more done, but in reality this has the opposite effect.
We end up becoming less effective, procrastinate more, become less focused, more burnt-out, irritable and stressed."

Rich Schefren's Bio

2007-08-06T20:09:00.001-07:00

Rich Schefren

Business Building Expert

They call Rich Schefren the "Coach to the Internet Gurus".
His unique philosophy about how to build real businesses online gets big money results for his clients. And that’s the reason he formed Strategic Profits in 2004.
The company provides coaching for online entrepreneurs who want to grow their businesses strategically and ultimately get "free" of the daily grind.
After graduating from Case Western Reserve University, summa cum laude as an accounting major, Rich was recruited by Arthur Anderson’s Strategic Planning Division. There he garnered several awards and then jumped at the opportunity to take over his family’s struggling clothing business.
When Rich turned that business into Soho’s hottest eclectic clothing boutique, with loyal customers like Prince and Uma Thurman, he was hooked on being an entrepreneur. Through his unique marketing ideas, the business had revenue growth from $1.5 to over $6.5 million in just three years.
Next Rich invested $7500 to create a hypnosis center which expanded to multiple locations and generated over $7 Million a year, within four years. Rich then wanted to share his success secrets and developed a program for other hypnosis centers to achieve the success he had. When he made $287,000 in one week selling the program, he knew he was on to something big.
Rich parlayed his offline successes and marketing prowess into an information product business. Over the next 2 years he established joint ventures with the major online marketing players that generated in excess of $4 million in revenue. Many of these marketers secretly sought his advice to help them turn their businesses into profit-producing powerhouses.
His passion was ignited to share what he’d learned with all struggling internet marketers who wanted to build real businesses and freer lives.
That’s when Strategic Profits came to be. And the story continues to unfold…
Business Growth System, the company’s core product, has revolutionized business coaching. With its combination of audio, visual and written materials – clients can learn in the way that suits them best.
The program content leverages over 20 years of Rich’s successes and early struggles to build his own Internet business.
Rich's programs sell out quickly because of the outstanding results achieved by entrepreneurs at all levels - from one person home-based businesses to multi-million dollar ventures aiming for more. Many of the program’s graduates are now Internet marketing experts in their own right.
Although Rich Schefren is the driving force behind Strategic Profits, the company has expanded to 10 full time employees who now work with Rich to develop products that expand the reach of Rich’s teachings. The company’s sales revenues exceeded $4 million in its first two years and are expected to be in the $10 million range for the coming year.
Strategic Profits has fueled its extraordinary growth by publishing free valuable content online. Not only does this create strong relationships with potential customers and the online community, but encourages feedback. The company uses the feedback to quickly create relevant products that address the struggles and provide solutions for online entrepreneurs.

Tom Beal interviews business strategist Richard Schefren in a revealing business growth discussion. In this video, Rich Schefren talks about the importance of being an expert in your field and focusing on your strengths, in order to achieve success in your own business. This video is a "must see" for everyone who is starting, or even just about to start their Internet business. I strongly recommend this to any online or a network marketer, regardless of their level of experience.

I reprint the letter that I received from Rich Schefren 3 days ago in its entirety. Why? Because I know that Rich would never recommend anything that he would not use himself, and I highly value his opinion as a Business Expert...

"For Serious Website Owners and Internet Entrepreneurs Only
Hi Val,
Building your businesses in a STRATEGIC way is the only way to really find success in the long term.
I'd like to share a model - that I know first hand - to really build a business. A model that you can count on to make you a lot more money than you're making now.

"Membership Sites" , where people to pay you money every month to access your site, has made a lot of my members wealthy.
Tim Kerber and Ryan Lee really understand this model and have released their program today. Judging by the initial sales numbers, it's a huge hit.
http://www.strategicprofits.com/model
Think about it... if you are having success selling a product or service, and you haven't learned how to immediately turn that sale into a monthly (or even weekly) membership, subscription, or other recurring payment, then you are leaving thousands of dollars on the table.

Let's do some simple math ...
Let's say you're selling a $27 ebook. And each time you make a sale your revenue is $27 dollars.
Subtract out any marketing costs... and you are left with your PROFIT.
That's simple business 101... nothing ground breaking, and we all understand that, right?
But here's the REALITY.
You could just as easily sold that customer a recurring SUBSCRIPTION for $10 a month, or $20 a month... or even $29 a month!
And they might have stayed with you for three or four months... or maybe a couple of YEARS!
Then, every time you flipped your calendar over to a new month, you would have ANOTHER sale generated for that customer... and EVERY OTHER CUSTOMER that you have!
Just do the math - if that one customer stayed with you got just six months, he could easily be worth a hundreds of dollars instead of that paltry $27.
And that's why you are LOSING money every time you make a one-time sale to a customer.

What are you waiting for?
You can start enjoying your new, money-making, for-real Internet Business called a Membership Site.

So if you ready to get to work and transform your web business into a dependable cash generator, you owe it to yourself to check this out.

Why go to Acceleration Squared Seminar?

2007-07-11T09:04:00.001-07:00

I received another email from Rich Schefren 2 days ago about his Acceleration Squared Seminar...
It has a lot of great material that has not been released anywhere yet - not on Strategic Profits website, not in Rich's blog, and not on any of his successful clients' websites or blogs either.
So I decided to share this on my Secret blog because if you want to really be successful in your online business, you need to have access to what Rich is teaching firsthand. And if you want to take a "sneak peak" at Acceleration Squared Seminar, as well as 'Attention Age Doctrine" Part 2 - here is a perfect opportunity for you, folks - "straight from the horse's mouth", so to speak...So enjoy!

SUBJECT:
In 8 Days From Now You Could Be My Next Success Story
Hi Val,
I've got good news and bad news
First the bad news... 9 days ago I opened up 100 seats to
my upcoming Attention Age Super-Summit and they sold out
fast. Plus, we've maxed out all the rooms at the hotel...
I've been told there are no vacancies.
But there is good news too!
I just got word from my team... by reworking and
redesigning the seating layout we can now squeeze in
exactly 6 additional growth-oriented business builders
into our super-summit. Plus we've negotiated discounted
rates at two nearby hotels.
So I'm inviting 6 more of you to participate... if you can
move fast.
I am almost embarrassed to admit this - but in my mad
rush to alert you to this event, I made a few rookie
mistakes and neglected to share three important pieces
of information you'll appreciate.
Here they are...
First off, I've been receiving lots of questions about
my Attention Age Doctrine lately. Most of them fall into
1 of 2 categories. I thought I addressed these in the
Doctrine - but I went back, checked it out and now
understand how some might have mistaken what I wrote...
So here's what I meant to say (lol).
Before ever releasing any of my reports... I research,
analyze, investigate, and vigorously test out in the
marketplace all my new breakthrough strategies and
ideas. Once I finish it, I immediately share it with my
private clients FIRST.
Then I share a bird's eye-view of the ground-breaking
information in a report I make available for
approximately 200,000 of my subscribers.
But, since my Attention Age Doctrine was incomplete,
this time I had a dilemma. I had two choices...
- Send you nothing whatsoever, and keep you in the dark
about this historic threat/opportunity, or...
- Share with you part one (the problem part) - and then
work rigorously to get you part two (the solution) with
all the action steps, implementation, strategies, and
execution tactics you can use to profit from the current
marketplace shifts.
Obviously, I chose to do the latter.
Some people failed to realize and appreciate the service
I was trying to do for them. So just in case - yes,
there is a part 2. And part 2 has all the tactics, tips
and juicy details that you'll be very excited to get
your hands on. And, I apologize if my intent was
misconstrued.
Secondly, I never actually spelled out the powerful
financial payoff this incredible event can mean to your
business and personal future. Sure, I told you what it
IS, but those are mere features. I never explained or
dimensionalized what it's like to thoroughly captivate
your marketplace's attention, and multiply your own
personal leverage. The transaction benefits to you...
are unimaginable.
So let me do that now...
On a personal level, after just the first 2 days you'll...
- Double and redouble again your reading speed,
listening speed (training audios), and viewing speed
(training videos) no matter how slow or fast you are
right now.
This change alone can vault you to GURU status in your
market in the blink of an eye. No matter what format
the info gets to you in... you'll rip through it, digest
it, lock it into memory and then easily apply it.
Look, no one is 10 times smarter than you - that's
impossible... but there are business owners making a
100 times more than you. I can tell you based on my
thousands of clients the primary reason is what we'll be
covering that first morning.
- Increase your memory substantially just by
understanding and using this simple algorithm. You'll
triple your retention... amplify your natural genius, make
smarter and more profitable business decisions, just
because you won't forget the small details that really
matter.
- Use the very same method I've perfected over the past
5 years (that I've never taught anyone) to conduct
research 400% faster, get better source material,
develop original ideas in order to author manifestos,
doctrines, reports, articles, link-bait, etc. and
immediately catapult your business to an entirely
new level.
The first three Manifestos I wrote brought in over 7
million (gross) - and I almost failed English in high
school. Imagine having the same arsenal at your
disposal. How big would you grow your business? How
often would you decide to write a report? Where would
you live?
- Leverage a single (extremely easy to learn) piece of
software to manage all your projects, your plans, and
your virtual team and your personal commitments without
having to waste any precious time on gimmicks or tricks.
Instantly your productivity will jump 25% (that's already
an extra 10 hours in a 40 hour week).
- Learn this easy 5 step process I use myself to master
new business topics and opportunities faster than those
around you, so you can pounce on any opportunity at a
moment's notice. For many entrepreneurs that one right
decision made quicker than all those around them was
their lift-off point that got them the contacts and
reputation to climb much higher...
- Use your own personal knowledge management system to
continuously get compounded returns from each and every
new piece of information you come across. It'll be
organized, easy to use, and your newest secret weapon -
because it's a photographic memory that never fails.
Most importantly, your business will be completely
transformed by this 4-day experience. Because we're
going to show you how to...
- Totally automate your business so it requires the
least amount of your own personal attention - you'll end
up doing less, but your business will bring in a lot
more because of the follow-up systems, client up-sell
systems, and referral systems you'll have in place.
- Easily make yourself and your business stand out so
distinctively in the overcrowded marketplace that you
become the logical choice. You'll instantly captivate
the attention trust and response of your entire
marketplace. All the while building a large, responsive
and super-profitable list with sales that'll dwarf your
competitors. Then I'll show you how to apply it to your
backends and your revenues will grow exponentially!
- Track the vital few details you must place your
attention on for maximum growth. Most entrepreneurs get
this part of the prosperity puzzle completely wrong.
Either they leave out a crucial element or focus on the
wrong ones. Either way, they end up marginalizing the
business' performance and their personal income instead
of optimizing it.
Just so we are clear here - I am not trying to sell
anyone who doesn't "get it" by now - I don't need to, I
don't want to, and I don't have to. I am here to offer
just 6 additional highly motivated entrepreneurs (out of
the 200,000 on my list), and share this experience with
me and my elite clients.
It's your chance - to rub shoulders, interact and share
ideas with the highest caliber of performing online
business owners ever assembled - that you won't get at
any other marketing, internet marketing, or business
seminar. There will be more than 7 of my clients'
businesses attending who bring in over 15 million a year
each. There will be 23 that do over 5 million year. And
one that does over 50 million annually. Where else do
you get an opportunity to network and mastermind with a
group like this?
But as good as this is, there's a rub...
It's now down to the 11th hour, Val
- the event is just 3 days away. This might just be the only
time this decade you have an opportunity to catapult
yourself from mediocrity to millions under my watchful
eye with so many proven marketing masters and winners.
I've created this entire event solely as a service to my
clients. The reason - It's where I know the biggest
opportunities will be for breaking through that glass
ceiling of business profits.
But I decided at the last moment to open up a 100 places
to my email subscribers and they were all snapped up in
a couple of days.
Some of you might not get this because you're too young
- but about 20 years ago there was a movie named Field
of Dreams. In it, the main character kept receiving the
message "if you build it, they will come". The Doctrine,
this 4-day event, and now this heartfelt communication,
is my way of letting you know... I've built it for you.
Will you come?
The action-oriented entrepreneurs who are willing to put
timing issues aside and come to Florida are going to
experience a life shifting transformation. Plus the
return on the investments of your time will be unlike
anything you've seen, or ever imagined.
It's now up to you - 6 new success stories... will you be
one of them?

Time is of the essence Val.

To Higher Profits,
Rich Schefren
PS - It's late, I've got to get home, and everybody has
already left for the day...The waiting list is up which
means it'll be on a first come first serve basis. We'll
go by your time zone (make sure to give us your phone
number).
PPS - My conscious is now clear. I've done everything
humanly possible to get the right entrepreneurs down
here. I've made it incredibly affordable, offered an
incredible guarantee (where I'll even pick up your plane
fare if you decide to leave) and have even included
quite a few mystery bonuses that'll blow attendees away.
PPPS - If you don't see the value or you don't want to
spend an extra $125 on airfare, or can not move your
schedule around to accommodate what I am offering, then
this event is not for you. I don't mean to be rude or
condescending - but just imagine if one of my coaching
clients didn't join and missed out on the multi-million
dollar profit surges I helped them create. It really is
the entrepreneurial equivalent of being the fifth Beatle.
It's only 3 days away... but you could be back home in 7
days on track to build the business you've always
dreamed about.

Are you a Hedgehog or a Fox?

So, you don't know? OK, I'll answer it for you.

A 'sneak preview' of Rich Schefren's "From Startup To Freedom" program presented by Rich at Mike Filsaime's elite seminar on February 23, 2007 where the Best Internet Marketers paid $5,000 a seat to attend an undisclosed location seminar to learn the new 7 Figure code developed by Mike. This was no ordinary Internet Marketing meeting. Expert Mike Filsaime exposed how to take your business to the next level to earn 7 figure income.
