Money Gym Helps Alan Forrest Smith Raise $100,000 in 4 days!

** Find out now how to get involved in a very exciting event & get some great fr*ee gifts including some one-on-one mentoring time with Nicola **
Already the Money Gym posse are swinging into action!! We are up to nearly $150 already – keep it coming guys! If you missed the previous email….look lively now!
You know about the World Internet Summit and how much I rate it?
You know about Alan Forrest Smith and that I rate him as a speaker, copywriter and marketer?
You may not know that every time they do a World Internet Summit they do an online challenge and raise
as much money as possible, online, live, in the shortest possible time?
It’s to prove internet marketing works – and it does, every time. As their list gets bigger, the amount raised gets bigger.
And when you add in all their friends and strategic partners…..cowabunga!
Well this year, it’s going to be very different!! And EVEN MORE EXCITING!
Instead of picking one person out of the audience and making the money for them, this year they are giving it ALL away to one specific charity and it’s a great charity although I’m not allowed to tell you what it is yet…..
100% of the money raised will go to this charity – the WIS boys, Brett & Tom, have promised and I trust them to do that.
HOWEVER I can tell you that it’s a charity that affects us all and the future of this planet – more will be revealed live on Thursday.
Alan is co-ordinating this live on stage in Australia, on Thursday, and as you can imagine, it’s scary, and he’s looking for support from his mates.
On Thursday, at 4am in the morning our time, I’m going to be dialling in LIVE on behalf of the Money Gym and donating a sum of money, direct to Alan for this massive effort. Unless I can puzzle out how to automate it *grin* I will be getting up, putting my lippie on and getting in front of my camcorder and skyping in.
My question to you is…….Will you help?
We have about 6,000-10,000 subscribers to our ezine and I’m hoping that at least 50% of you will donate AT LEAST £2 to the fundraising effort – via Paypal, to us so that we can give it to Alan live on Thursday. We could raise £3000 to £5000 – that’s $6000 – $10,000 to help Alan in his goal of reaching $100,000 in just four days.
If only 20% of you – following the Pareto Principle – do something we could raise over £1000 or $2000 – and that would be very respectable!
And it would make us Brits look GREAT especially as I have inside info on how much some of those multi-millionaire Yanks have pledged so far!!
Our national pride is at stake here and you will be helping a great cause that affects us all.
(I would have just asked for £1 minimum but PayPal charge us for every transaction, so £2 will cover the PayPal charge and give at least £1 to Alan)
HOWEVER…………Alan is offering some great incentive special offers on the official page, for those who donate £25 or more, so if you do that via us, I will be passing on a list of people who donate £25 or more, to Alan, in order that you are still eligible to get his incentive offers.
**************************************
** We faithfully promise, here at The Money Gym, to donate 100% of your donation, less the PayPal charges, plus our donation, to Alan’s efforts and to pass your name, email and donation amount onto him, if you donate £25 or more **
***************************************
All you have to do, to help me out, help Alan out and claim your fr*eebie gifts, is send your donation NOW to:
Send your donation to this paypal address – and mark it clearly “Alan / WIS Donation” :
steve@themoneygym.com – remember make it at least £2 (but more if you can)
Then I will personally send you a link (which will be sent to the email address you use for your PayPal account) which will take you to a page where you can claim a very special set of fr*ee gifts – this could be a lot of work for me, but I don’t care!
The more of you donating, the happier I will be even if I have to work all weekend!
Ok, so go do it now and make us proud !
Just send £2 – or whatever you are happy to give, to steve@themoneygym.com
And I will send you by return, as soon as possible, the link to where you can put your name and email in, to get updates on how it’s going, and get your fr*ee gifts!
Thanks!

The Money Gym & The World Internet Challenge

The Money Gym is getting involved with helping Alan Forrest Smith to raise over $100,000 for charity in just 4 days. Listen to the interview with AFS and Brett McFall from World Internet Summit here and check back to find out how you can have some fun and get involved!
I’ll be setting something up so that you can donate to the Money Gym fund that I’ll be donating to WIS & Alan, hopefully live on stage in Australia direct from the UK – hey! This might mean I have to stay up all night or something!
Anyway, if you are in Oz or New Zealand (Ros!) you can get your ticket to attend live here >>>>
And from tomorrow, I’m going to be telling you how you can get your hands on a secret DVD – not a CD – a DVD with pictures and everything!! from the UK WIS (that I attended) with five of the stars on it, performing live from the stage, absolutely free!
Come back tomorrow!
You ARE The Brand!
by Nicola Cairncross on February 28, 2008

God! Business is confusing sometimes. Perhaps it’s the drugs* but it’s been one of those weeks when everyone and everything seems to contradict each other.
Skimming the video clips from Rich Schefren’s conference in Disneyworld, I was struck by Gary Vaynerchuck’s assertion that “you are the brand” which is on message for Rich’s coaching programmes and reports, and all part of becoming a “maven in your marketplace” but pretty much the opposite of what we are taught, when building a business.
We have all known for a while, post “E-Myth Revisited” that, if you want to build a business that you can sell, you can’t be the business or it lessens the value of that business. Nobody will want to buy a business that depends on you being there for it to work. But is the business depending on you, different from you being the brand?
Gary goes on to say that by positioning yourself alongside higher placed experts – like I’m doing here in a way, with Rich and Gary – you are building their brand not yours. You need to start building yourself as the expert – and this is something I’ve been hearing from Alan Forrest Smith recently too. We’ve been working with Alan quite a bit on our marketing and it drives him mad when I’m too generous in crediting my mentors.
Well, I hear what Gary says – and he certainly has done that with his video wine blog - but Rich certainly positioned himself alongside some internet marketing greats initially, and he credits Jay Abrahams all the time.
Confused? You will be.
Hmmm, going back to the selling of the business aspect here….. Read more..
