Why You May Be Self-Destructing Your Successful Business and Life

I’m a recovering couch potato. When I started running five years ago, my goal was to run three miles without stopping. I’d never run more than half a mile, so three sounded like a huge stretch. My wife and I are now preparing to run in the 2016 Boston Marathon. I don’t enjoy driving 26 miles, much less running it! … Continued

My Case Study System Revealed for You

Imagine teaching someone how to use a hammer—in writing. You could explain where to hold the hammer, how to hold the nail and how to swing the hammer to strike the nail. But to someone who’s never seen or used a hammer before, will any of it make sense? Is he going to hold a nail in one hand and … Continued

What real professionals do

Pilots must have 1,500 hours of flight time to become a commercial pilot. That would be more than two months of flying if done nonstop, 24 hours a day.

Tomorrow’s Member Retention Webinar

I’m hosting a webinar tomorrow in which I outline how several of my clients are creating membership programs that deliver the luxury and performance you expect from a well-engineered program.

Don’t take my word for it; shut the back door and see if it works

Many of Perry Marshall’s Mastermind Club members have retained their membership since the day he first launched his program. His loyal members love his monthly newsletter and other deliverables, and some have stayed more than five years already.

Do they say “I was a member once” about you?

Today’s social media gives all of your members, current and former, a megaphone. Fair or not, they post. And increasingly, even your affluent members, especially the ones who have the education and the time, know where to look. Plus, you have the traditional rumor mill. One friend asking another, “Have you heard about that guy who published that book?” “Yeah. … Continued

Are there too many info-marketers?

After sending out a promotion for GKIC’s Info-Summit, I was asked, as I often am, “What about market saturation; are there already too many information marketers?” Of all the markets, there are more info-marketers in the dentist niche than in any other. Just off the top of my head, there’s Dr. Tom Orent, Dr. Robert Willis, Woody Oakes, Greg Stanley, … Continued

T-boned by a Toyota

Imagine cruising down a country road in your brand new BMW 750i. A beautiful car that combines performance with luxury. It takes the curves with ease, even at higher than normal speeds. Out of nowhere, your driver’s door gets rammed by a 1994 Toyota Camry that missed a stoplight. Your air bags go off and you lose control, regaining your … Continued
