Attention: Sales Professionals, Business Owners and Entrepreneurs...

I said to heck with them all ...

After so many hype-filled seminar promotions

and pitch-filled conferences, I threw in the towel,

drew a line in the sand and said I'm not going to take it anymore.

This letter is my answer to a major need in the market ... a seminar that I would actually want to attend ... an event that actually delivers so much real value that it can literally cause a complete business makeover.

Billionaire Entrepreneur, Bill Bartmann and 13 other real-world experts will be with you to help you tap into the power of your purpose and make small changes in the key areas of your business that will yield the quickest and greatest results ... so you make more money, have more fun and truly leave your unique thumbprint on the world!

Can I have your permission to just avoid all the usual marketing hype and "rah rah" tactics and just talk with you for a moment? (Hey, not always easy to do, I AM a marketer after all.)

If you're like me, you're more than a little sick of all the over-the-top advertising claims that you're pelted with every day. You're probably inundated with promotions for business seminars and self-help programs ... all promising to be the magic pill that will change your life - without any significant challenge or effort. It's all nonsense!

I've been to some seminars that have been truly fantastic and actually overdelivered on their promises. But, more often than not, I've walked away feeling dissappointed and regretting that I've spent the time and money to attend. Has that ever happened to you?

That's why I don't want to insult your intelligence or sound like any of the over-the-top hucksters that are out there. So, here it is straight...

I'm No Guru

I don't have it all the answers and most definitely don't walk on water. Don't get me wrong, I've had some major success in certain parts of my life at different times. I've made millions of dollars for my clients and was, at one time, a "big cheese" top marketing officer of a Fortune 1000 company. But, I didn't manage my money well, so when I was severed from my position in the wake of the Dot Com Crash, I was forced to sell our executive home  and move my wife and six children into a rental. Out of sheer depression, my confidence sank while my waistline ballooned. Also, balancing family life and business has always been a humongous challenge for me.

All this is just to say that I'm FAR from perfect, even though others would probably assume I've got it all together. Do you know anyone like that? Maybe even someone close to you?

Thank goodness I did something right

Well, frankly, I had no idea what to do. But, despite my internal doubts and self-defeating behaviors, I DID continue to fill my mind with great books and audios, and I kept attending great seminars - even when it didn't seem to make any sense to do so. Have there been times like that when you just knew you had to do something - despite what others (or even you) thought?

What a difference that made

Now, just a short while later, I almost feel like I'm living a dream. I'm still in the process of dropping the extra weight I put on and I'm still working on balancing my family and business time. But, I'm on track to improving all the facets of my life and I've got a renewed sense of purpose and confidence that I'm not just "putting in time" on earth and making a living. I'm focused on building a legacy! Do you know what I mean?

This part still blows my mind

Oh, and get this - most of those business experts and self-help gurus that I was filling my mind with during that time are now personal friends of mine! Even today, when one of them calls to ask my advice, I have to pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming. I could write a book just about how all this came about.

But, to make a long story short ... or at least shorter - one of my friends from church was talking with me about a frustrating time they had at a seminar (they called it a "pitchfest") and he told me that I really ought to host my own seminar with my business partner, Bob Burg. He explained that we not only know and work with some really great experts and teachers, but that I also have more of a clue about what the average person really faces in business and what they need to get to the next level.

I mentioned it to Bob - who you probably know as the co-author of the national bestseller, The Go-Giver, and author of Endless Referrals. Being the incredible networker and connector that he is, his eyes lit up with the possibilities of how we could help. So from that point on, we started hosting seminars ourselves.

Here's the incredible team I've assembled for us

I guess I should be telling you about all the great speakers (and they ARE great) along with listing out all their accomplishments and accolades that you find in their professional bios. That's all well and good AND it's all true, but frankly, you can go to their web sites for information like that. I'd rather tell you why I believe each of these people are THE BEST for helping you maximize your business.

Each of these speakers are part of this team for two reasons ... (1) They have an expertise in a specific arena that entrepreneurs and independent sales professionals need (And, their content is both authentic and proven).... (2) They have the right heart - their top desire is to see their successes and failures help others transform their lives!

Let's forget the promo stuff. Here's my personal take:

Michael Angier - Finally Making Things Happen - http://mysuccessnet.com/          Michael is a new friend of mine that I met originally a couple years ago at Vic Johnson's Claim Your Power Now conference in Atlanta - I recently reconnected with him at Ken McArthur's JV Alert Live in Orlando. This guy is as honest and dependable as the day is long...and a very wise businessperson as well. He's a great guy to know and learn from.

Simon T. Bailey - Discovering and Releasing Your Brilliance - http://www.simontbailey.com/
If you lack any passion for what you're doing, Simon will help you find it. He's an ex Disney big whig and is amazingly good at helping people discover what makes them tick and tapping into it to turbocharge their success trajectory. I actually met with Simon after he and my wife met eachother in a local Super Target. She noticed that my wife had six kids out and about in the middle of the day and rightly assumed that we home school. Simon is incredibly dynamic and warm and the best part is that he's the same both on and off the stage.

Bill Bartmann - Becoming an Extraordinary Entrepreneur - www.billbartmann.com
How many conferences have you been to when you've had the opportunity to learn from a BILLIONAIRE entrepreneur (yes... that's Billion with a B)? This guy not only started with nothing, but his success extends beyond his wallet to his 32 year marriage, family and friends as well. I met him through Charlie "Tremendous" Jones (one of the early advocates of self-development and a true gentle giant) - need I say more?

Bob Burg - Go-Give Your Way To Never-Ending Prospects - www.thegogiver.com
Even if he wasn't my business partner, I'd still want him speaking at this event. NO ONE does a better job helping entrepreneurs and sales pros, who may not naturally be the best networkers, learn and apply a simple system to help them meet and cultivate relationships that deliver massive gains to their businesses - all in a fun and non-threatening way. It's based on the incredible principles that he taught in his National Bestseller - The Go-Giver. He's also a totally honorable and "stand up" kinda guy!

Stephanie Frank - Win in Business w/out Losing Your Mind - http://www.stephaniefrank.com/
When she first looked at me and asked me why I was driving myself crazy and killing myself, I could tell that this was one of the very few people who understood me. In fact, she understands entrepreneurs and independent sales pros inside and out and is AWESOME at providing easy systems to keep us focused on what we do best and eliminate our headaches - even for scattered, unfocused types like myself! (I'd say A.D.D. but my wife prefers I not claim that label ;-)

Christopher Guerriero - Become An Instant Authority - http://www.automaticbestseller.com/
Have you ever met one of those guys who just did the right thing because it was the right thing... the type that everything they touch seems to turn to gold? You kinda don't know whether to love em or hate em right? Well, Christopher is one of those guys, but because he's so darn humble and nice, you can't help but love him! And, he brings an incredible skill set to the table - helping entrepreneurs and sales pros stand out from the crowd and become authorities virtually overnight! This guy is GOOD!

Josh Hinds - Great Seminar - Now What? - http://www.getmotivation.com/
Josh is someone who has been in the self-development industry for years - usually behind the scenes bringing great speakers and teachers to his audience. He is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet and has a great message and system for actually applying what you learn from seminars and conferences - instead of just walking away pumped up only to go back to your same old ways of doing things.

Dr. Don Kennedy - 5 am And Already Behind - http://www.bahbits.com/
An amazing and passionate man - Dr. Kennedy is a physician who heard time and time again from his 70 year old and above patients how they would have done things differently if they had it to do over again. That stirred in him a mission to help people do it right the first time... to tap into what they should be doing instead of doing what others expect of them. And, his information and system for overcoming the one key bad habits that is holding you back is nothing short of life-changing! I've seen people pay many times the cost of our seminar for years of therapy and still not accomplish what Dr. Kennedy can help you do.

Donna Krech - Never Ending Motivation - http://www.donnakrech.com/
If there was ever a person who had an excuse for failing in life, it would be Donna. But, Donna didn't fail. In fact, she went from totally penniless to creating a fortune in the fitness arena. And, she's going to help us learn how to tap into the motivation that's inside of them ... the type of motivation that you can tap into at will to overcome challenges that inevitably come up ... not the external motivation from speakers and events that quickly goes away when life hits on Monday morning.To me, she's that kid sister with the wise old heart that helps you remember why you're alive!

Dave Lakhani - Beat Low-Price Competitors In ANY Economy - http://www.boldapproach.com/
There are 2 people in my life that I've been intellectually intimidated by. One is my brother-in-law Len - a bona fide genius - Psychiatrist by the time most graduate college and MBA to boot. The man can converse with great understanding on ANY topic! The other is Dave Lakhani - whose insights and business building solutions never fail to blow me away. If I have a business problem I can't get my head around, Dave would be the one I want to call. His very unique background has filled him with empathy to help others get over their victimhood and put simple tools to work to create consistent success. A true scholar and gentleman!

Greg Rice - Overcoming Challenges by Thinking Big - http://pctonline.com/articles/printer.asp?ID=3045&IssueID=235&Source=back
Greg and his twin brother John (who tragically passed away in 2005) overcame the incredible obstacles of being abandoned at birth and, as dwarfs, standing at only 2'10" tall. While still in high school, they purposed themselves to hone their sales skills and eventually went on to make quite a mark for themselves in Palm Beach County , Florida real estate. They also became famous pitchmen for Hulett Pest Control - helping them become one of the most recognizable and successful pest control companies in the south. He's a personal friend of Bob's and from everything I hear, a great guy!

Bo Short - Attracting and Managing Profitable Teams - http://www.boshortonline.com/
One of my very favorite people, Bo Short is a truly rare individual that almost seems born out of time... you could easily picture him right along with Thomas Jefferson and our other Founding Fathers as they birthed this great nation. Along with his experiences building several multi-million dollar companies and working with others as a turnaround expert, Bo has developed a principle-based system of leadership that has earned him accolades from many of our nation's top executives, athletes and elected officials.


Jimmy Vee and Travis Miller - Getting Business To Come To You - http://www.gravitationalmarketing.com/
If you couldn't tell, marketing is VERY near and dear to my heart. I've got some definite opinions on the subject and have met very few marketers that I feel totally "get it." So, if I'm letting someone else teach my new friends how to build real-world, highly effective, attraction marketing systems, it MUST be someone I believe in. In the case of Jimmy and Travis, I absolutely do! I actually met Jimmy at an event at my church where Charlie Jones was speaking. I wound up meeting with him and his partner Travis for a lunch and we became instant friends. They are not only excellent marketers with expertise in both the art AND science of marketing for entrepreneurs, but they're also really honest and caring guys as well!

They're Not Just Great Alone - They Work PERFECTLY as a Team

Is it just me ... or is this a really incredible line-up? I'm tellin you, not only will they all do a fantastic job teaching their particular topics and systems, but the hot seat sessions will be phenomenal! It's so INTENSE to see people with totally different expertise from one another, all tackling the challenges of our entrepreneur participants. Last year's hot seats had everyone wanting to stay hours past the end of the program just to hear more!

This year, I'm making myself back off from the marketing expert role since I have Jimmy and Travis to fill (make that overfill) my shoes. Instead, I'm just going to be the host who gets to introduce my friends (who happen to be world class experts in their own arenas) to my new friends in the audience (that would be you). And, of course, I'll be facilitating the Hot Seat Sessions as well.

This is going to be soooooo much fun and is going to help a ton of business owners and sales pros who are at the place where we're ready to ratchet up to the next level and really transform how we are doing business and life! I hope that by this point, you're at least interested in being with me for this.

Learn the innovative thinking and management secrets you need to know to get and stay on top. Some of these principles are totally mind-blowing, but quick and easy to apply.

I designed this for the challenges of Entrepreneurs

I've personally consulted with literally hundreds of businesses face to face. I know the areas the most struggle ... the areas that offer the quickest and most dramatic turnarounds when they are fixed. Many are the same areas of challenge that I've personally had. So, I built the seminar topics and team totally around what I would want to attend with my clients. I built a seminar that would help us all achieve more of what we really want ... FREEDOM!

Let's face it, as fun as businesses can be, it's always much more fun to work knowing that you don't have to. And, it's always much more fun when you don't have to work around the clock and wear yourself down in the process.

Some just want to do well so they can enjoy their life outside of work. Others, like me, really love what they do, but need to learn to do it more efficiently so we can have balance. Whether what you do is a means to an end, or a source of fulfillment, we all want to experience real freedom ...

...Freedom to take time off whenever you want

...Freedom to do what you were created to do

...Freedom to help others with your time and money

...Freedom to provide for your family and children the way you want

...Freedom to give your children the gift of options

Why Extreme Business Makeovers Is a

"Must-Attend" Event if You’re Serious About Having the Freedom that Comes from Making Your Business Work For You Instead of You Working For it!

I know this lacks all humility, but I've been to tons of events and read even more event promotions. I really believe that there is no other event like this one. You may have a great business, maybe even very profitable… but breaking into that small minority of business owners - the ones who work when they want and play when they want, the ones with the greatest levels of energy and vitality, the ones who have no fear of lawsuits or ridiculously high taxes - has likely been an elusive goal.

The good news is you really can achieve incredible success in business AND still have a great family, have plenty of time to play and in general, stay sane! … and that's what you and I will be learning how to do at Extreme Business Makeovers. It won't do it by itself, but if you apply what you learn (and this team of experts makes it EASY to do so), you will forever improve your entire business and life by gaining the time-tested tools, skills and information  to improve and transform the key areas of business that are keeping you from getting to the level that you know you could be. 

During this powerful 3 day event, you will have the rare opportunity to get face-to-face, up close and personal with 14 of the world's most dynamic experts in human development and business/wealth maximization. Together, they will teach you and me step-by-step how to get from where we are now ... to where we were created to be!

Oh, and if you scroll down, you'll see that we back the entire thing up with our no-risk guarantee so you can know that whether you somehow feel it's just not worth it - or you just don't like my hair - you can get a full refund... without a hassle.

That's it ... not a bunch of hype and silly promises that would somehow suggest that you can become an overnight business maven by osmosis. I can see that stuff coming a mile away now ... can't you? That's why, despite my own advertising design background, I didn't even bother putting something in place of the "Green Screen" in the testimonial videos. I know that just about everyone shoots with green screens and puts in other images during editing - and unless they put in the million dollar beachfront home that they don't really own, I usually don't have a problem with it. But, on principle, I want this to be the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) of seminars. So, I'm extending that right down to the images and testimonials we use.

However, I hope I didn't remove so much of the sizzle that you can't see how incredible this steak really is! If so, I would have done you a disservice. But, I don't believe I did. I have faith that you are the type that doesn't need to be tricked into making reasoned and mature decisions with a bunch of hype and bells and whistles.

"Do or do not. There is no try." - Yoda

So, here's my big "hard sell" closing ;-) ... If you feel, in your gut, like there may be something here for you, do it... scroll down and get registered. If you don't, click outta here and don't waste your time. The big key is to not let the "what ifs" and any number of logistic or financial challenges keep you from this if you feel like this could really help you.

Are we going to run out of tickets if you don't order today .. nope! (how's THAT for honesty)? Is there a chance we'll run out of rooms and you'll have to get another, less convenient hotel down the road? Sure, but THAT is not the reason for me wanting you to make a decision right now. The real reason is because if you put off the decision, this will become less and less of a priority for you and what started as an "I ought to" will become a "woulda, coulda, shoulda." I know, I've delayed lots of decisions and not taken action on plenty of things that I should have.

I'll even bribe you for your own good

So, for those who have that little voice in them telling them to be part of this, I'm going to make it worth your while to get off the dime and make it happen. Our standard ticket price at the door is $397, but if you decide today, you can get in for just $197 for one ticket or just $297 for two. That's just my way of helping you make up your mind either for or against this so you don't have that additional mind clutter of yet another delayed decision weighing you down.

I understand that, money aside, your decision to come to Extreme Business Makeovers also involves your time. So, I want to pledge to you here and now that for those that make the decision to come and be part of this truly dynamic event, I will personally do everything in my power to make sure that at the end of our time together and in the years to come, you will count it as one of the best decisions you have ever made! I look forward to seeing you in Orlando!

All the Best,
