15 Spots have been taken and there are only 3 spots left...


All of us are "business owners" in one way or another... Either by profession (lawyer, doctor, agent, investor, etc.), selling a product (retail store owner, MLM product, widget x), service (DJ, event coordinator, hair stylist, etc.).  Much like yourselves, when I started "business" as an attorney after leaving a big firm, I hung out a shingle and expected to "market" for clients based on referrals, "shot gun" advertising, networking, handing out cards, radio ads, etc.... the traditional mainstream stuff...

I was lucky enough that I developed a "niche" of clients in a specific area and grew my practice without even having a systemic marketing plan or sales process... What I didn't realize was that the most critical part of my "business", even as a lawyer, was sales!... I didn't fully come to appreciate that until I started my real estate company and learned that marketing, sales processes, lead generation, lead conversion, service delivery, client experience and client retention (i.e., the sales process) is the most important part of any business, profession or weekend hustle!  Master the sales system and you have a business... if not, you have a job (at best your self employed)...

Many of us are still there... the "solo-preneurs" that answer the phone, take the orders, do the books, send out letters, meet the clients, fix all the problems, and the list goes on... no marketing plan, no understanding of what your ideal client looks like, how to communicate directly to them and trigger responses to your "offer" of services, etc..., or even worse, no way of measuring what works and what's wasted in terms of cash flows going out to market....

If you look at the biggest law firms (and many of us came from that experience) they have an entire dept dedicated to marketing, client development, and retention... the most successful lawyers aren't the ones that are the smartest... they are the ones that are the "rainmakers"... the marketers... bringing in the most clients and doling out the work to the legal-genius-book worms...

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but as you can see, I'm passionate about business, serious about goals and committed to sharing and helping others who have the same dreams of financial independence...

So here's some suggestions that I think will have instant benefit to you in your businesses:

1. Identify Your Vision - Know exactly where you want your company to be this time next year, 5 years, 10 years... Have a short, mid and long term vision.

2. Develop a Plan / Road Map to get there based on the blueprints that were used by others who are already there. - Success is repeatable and there is always someone who is exactly where you want to be.  Don't waste time re-inventing the wheel, follow what has worked for others, be a student of success.

3. Systematize your business, strategy and road map - "One Man or Woman Can Never Do Everything or Be Everyone on the Organizational Chart"... You'll never do any "one thing" good enough to reach success or accomplish anything significant enough to reach your goals...  (outsource on the cheap, barter, joint venture, take on partners, etc., but get others to help you implement your plan and benefit from doing so...)

4. Surround yourself with like minded people that are striving for growth (on the inside as well as outside) - You will need reinforcement to keep you focused, on track, in faith and confident that you will accomplish your goals... the best way to do this is to offer this support to others just like you...

5. You must deliver a valuable product or service to the sector of the market that you have carefully identified as having the most desire for what you are offering. You have to know your "targeted client" better than they do... know their needs, wants, desires, problems and how to give them the opportunity to raise their hand and ask for your solution or service.  You have to sell.  You have to make offers... and you have to systemically generate new leads, convert them to clients and deliver before, during and after the sale...

The Master Mind Group facilitates all of the above and so much more...

For those that didn't get the 1st Invitation or 2nd Follow-Up email, I've attached them below...

My deepest apology to those that were initially left off the prior email... (a lot of you got wind of the group and thought you were intentionally left off the list.  This was not intentional at all...)

Some folks responded that they'd love to participate, but simply can't stretch their budget... Which is totally understandable... So, for the last 3 remaining spots, I will allow 2 of the remaining 3 participants to join the group and defer the first payment for 30 days (enabling you to see the value of how this will change the way you do business, increase profits and productivity). Simply mention that you'd like to take advantage of this if you reserve one of the remaining 3 spots.

As a motivator and source of inspiration and insight into marketing, strategy and successful entrepreneurship... I want you to watch this video by Stephen Pierce... He's a self made multi-millionaire that is known as the "Guru to Gurus"... the video is about an hour long, and was recorded during a training seminar that folks paid thousands to attend...

Finally, I want to wish everyone a very Happy Holiday and Wonderful New Year!...

To Your Success,

RJ
