Are You Teachable?
A few years ago I hired a marketing coach to help me with my websites. At the time, my sites were generating somewhere around a whopping $29/month. Not nearly enough to even cover the expenses of running an online business.
At the time, we were generating sales offline through our events and book sales, but I really wanted to take my message online and reach more people quicker, and more automatically. I knew the information I had to share would help families all across the world create better lives for themselves and their children, so it was time to hire a coach who could help me do that.
Now, I know that there’s a lot of good information out there that would have helped me accomplish my goal, but I needed someone who could walk me step-by-step through whatever I needed to learn and implement, and I found Charlie Cook.
I hired him to coach me for three months, so we talked on the phone once a week and I spent every spare moment I had implementing his recommendations.
After implementing just a fraction of what he suggested, our sites began generating a predictable $4000/month.
Think about this: I spent a few thousand dollars to hire him. Was it worth it? Do you see how an investment in your mental capital can yield tremendous dividends?
I hadn’t talked to him in a few years, so I recently sent him a message of gratitude, to give him an update on what’s happened with our businesses since then. He responded with a gift that he’s letting me share with you, because he knows I’m in the business of teaching you how to be successful in whatever it is you’re wanting to do, too.
So if you have a business, or if you’re thinking about starting one, be sure to download his FREE ebook that will teach you the marketing secrets you need to know in this new economy.

Trevan and I have been learning a LOT from a couple of guys named Rich and Ron and I know you’re going to love them. They’re teaching us specific principles applicable to what they call “bootstrapping” a business, and it’s made a huge impact on our success already.
I’m telling you, mindset is everything! And these guys know “mindset” for successful business. They’ve built nearly 30 businesses from next to nothing… and have had some failures and some amazing successes – and we get to learn from their experiences in the trenches!
What is Bootstrapping? One way to describe it might be: building a really profitable business, starting with very little money.
When you register, you’ll be provided with the information on how to access the recording. (Because this teleseminar event already took place.)
You’ll learn:
1) WHAT is the bootstrap mindset?
2) HOW does an entrepreneurial candidate discover if he/she has what it takes to bootstrap?
3) WHY is embracing failure so important to the “bootstrap” mindset of entrepreneurship?
4) WHY is idea creation so important to “bootstrapping” and HOW can it be accelerated?
5) There are certain tools you use to filter or prove your business ideas. What are the tools? How do they work? Why do you use these particular tools?
6) WHY is the Zig Zag principle so important to boostrapping success and HOW does it work?
7) WHAT does “climb high, sleep low” mean and WHY is it critically important to living in balance?
8 ) What does “crossing the line of balance” mean?
Bootstrapping is for:
- Those working in the corporate world who want a venture on the side
- Those who want an exit from the corporate world by growing a business
- Those in a position to bring a few thousand dollars to their dreams
- Those who already run their own business, who need help achieving their potential
- The working class who desire to break the cycle of living paycheck to paycheck
- Those who have the entrepreneurial bug and need structure and direction
Fill out this form to be sent the REPLAY of this teleclass which took place on Thursday 2/18/2010. (Keep in mind that you may hear mention of gifts or promotions that have since expired.)
More about “Bootstrapping”:
The Principles Taught Are Applicable to All
Any determined individual can employ the principles presented in “Bootstrap Business” and find success. The concepts are not specific to any one type of business and can be applied to small, private businesses or to technology-driven startups. The information is full of solid principles to help you create honest, long-lasting value, whatever your field may be.
Novice Bootstrappers Will Save Millions of Dollars
The wisdom and practicality of this information will help beginning business owners navigate the big issues: taxes, partnership agreements, scaling, and hiring, to name a few. There is no simple checklist to follow for making money or how to avoid losing money. Instead, a certain mindset and philosophy are required in order to make informed decisions. “Bootstrap Business” provides insight into that mindset as well as actionable guidance one needs to follow to avoid the big mistakes while developing a winning posture.
Business Owners Will Learn Principles and Practices They May Be Missing
There are huge numbers of existing small business owners who will greatly benefit from “Bootstrap Business”. This information was initially developed for startup entrepreneurs but have found that small business owners are the most vocal audience requesting this information. Many of the potholes small business owners must navigate on a daily basis are addressed. Issues such as how to scale a business, how to compete with larger companies, and how to manage cash flow are at the heart of their message.
Seasoned Entrepreneurs Will Nod in Agreement
Experienced entrepreneurs will embrace this information because it helps them better communicate the fundamental concepts they have experienced. It will provide them a structure and framework with which to build their future endeavors.
See you there!

My 11 year-old daughter is at it again. If you’ve been following my blog, then you may remember she started her entrepreneurial endeavors when she was 9, with home made bookmarks for people who bought my books.
Since then, she has always set aside some of her money for seed wheat, and a few times a year gets the bug to sell something.
This is probably one of her best ideas so far, and I’m really proud of her.
She’s trying to earn some money for Christmas, and has created these adorable kits that parents or grandparents can give their children right away to help them get into the Christmas spirit. She took the picture herself. It comes with a count-down chain kit for the tree, and an ornament painting kit.
Here it is:

My close friend Nancy Genys is looking for directors for her Talent Team program, something that inspired me so much that I even worked it into the story of the upcoming Jackrabbit Factor sequel…
Are you:
Someone who loves working with children – and wants to make a difference in their lives?
Are you a good singer or dancer? (Acting experience is a plus… but not the defining attribute of a successful director)
Talent Team performs in Ireland
Have you had teaching experience of some sort – and like to teach?
Do you want to teach a program that has a proven success ‘method’ and be part of a team? Are you teachable (so you can learn the system) and do you want to make money?
Talent Team performs in New York
The directors who follow the program should be able to make $2,000 – $8,000 per month (not gross but net) part time!
The business opportunity requires an investment to get started – but you should be able to pay yourself back within the first semester – if not by then – definitely by the second semester (depends on how many students you have, how many days you teach etc).
Talent Team performs in California
It also requires a minimum of a 5 year commitment to your business.
If you are interested, contact Nancy Genys at ngenys @ gmail.com (no spaces) with your name and email for more information.

Last week the phone rang, and my 14 year-old son picked it up. I heard him say, “Hello? …Uh, yeah, just a minute.” Then he turned to me with a quirky look on his face and said, “A really HAPPY Kevin is on the phone for you.”
After I hung up the phone, my son had to know: “Mom, why was he SO happy??”
I just smiled… because it was no reason in particular except that this guy spends his days helping people create automatic, portable incomes. He makes a difference in people’s lives and has everything to be happy about.
In the past, he used to put his life on the line for a living, literally. (You should hear those stories!) but now his work is safe, flexible, lucrative, and extremely fulfilling.
The bottom line is, he loves what he does.
His happiness is contagious, too. I saw what his cheerful, energetic demeanor over the phone (for just 5 seconds) did for my son.
How do you answer your phone? Are people glad to be around you because you leave them feeling happier than before?
Think on that for today… and put a smile on someone’s face by the way you speak to them.
Anyway, stay tuned… I’ll be introducing you to Kevin in a couple weeks and you’ll see what I mean. In a free telecall, he’ll give you some tips on how to create an automatic income doing something you love, too.
Be sure to sign up for my newsletter so you can get the details as soon as I release them!
(P.S. The image above is not Kevin, but captures the feeling of the moment so I just had to include it!)
