The Money Gym has just launched The Boardroom, a way for your business to access a crack business team, 18 of your very own non-executive directors, plus Judith Morgan and Nicola Cairncross. As well as making a very special launch offer of a third off your first year’s membership, Nicola & Judith are hosting a daily radio show, where they help each caller create an extra £10,000 in just 90 days from their existing business.

Today’s caller on The Money Gym “£10k In 90 Days” Challenge on our BlogTalkRadio show was Yvonne Halling with her champagne related business http://www.MadAboutBubbly.com

Quick bit of background: Yvonne’s husband Jiles is an expert on Champagne and among other parts of the business, like corporate champagne tastings, they own a beautiful house in the Champagne region of France which is available for holidays, sleeps 12 and rents for £1500 a week or £125 pp if you have 12, or £250 for the week if you only have 6 of you. Very reasonable and it IS lovely, having been Yvonne & Jiles’ home previously.

Their website is currently being overhauled by Marion Ryan, Money Gym coach and blog/web expert so that’s coming along and looks great. This will give them the flexibility to add / change the site whenever they like and will be very search engined friendly (search engines love blog sites!)

Jiles has written an ebook which is garnering rave reviews, and they are working on a follow up DVD right now. They already have a number of videos on YouTube which I found by searching “mad about bubbly” although their channel is called http://www.youtube.com/user/jileshalling (see below for my comments on improving their branding).

We established on the 15 minute radio show that their fastest route to making “£10k In 90 Days” was to get let their house in Champagne for 7 weeks out of the 12 of the challenge period, and we came up with the idea of an virally marketed, online competition, using Social Networking via Twitter, a Facebook page and ideally joint venture mailings, where people can win a week in the house as a prize.

I also worked out that, if they sold 5-10 ebooks a day, they would make an extra “£10k In 90 Days” especially if they pre-sold the DVD bundled with the ebook, and that I would be looking at a Google Adwords campaign to drive extra traffic to the ebook sales page…….more on this below.

As time was extremely limited on the radio show, we have decided to take the follow up onto the blog here, where I will outline our suggestions, and my proposed plan of action, Judith can contribute, Yvonnne can add her thoughts, and get coached over the next 90 days to make the challenge actually happen!

What fun!

Going, Going Speedily & A Full House In More Ways Than One!

Since our Internet Day last year, and the wildly successful Property Extravagaza, we are really getting a great reputation for our events and every time we announce one, it’s getting easier and easier to fill the room. I was reading through the great testimonials from last time, prior to putting them on the page, and I was moved beyond belief by some of the comments. I love our community!

We’ve still got two weeks to go and we have just opened the bookings to our main mailing list and we have only got just over 100 tickets left – a third have gone already. Martin has mentioned it a couple of times in his ezine, but Brett hasn’t mailed yet, or our joint venture partners, so I’m very confident we are going to sell out well before the 10th Oct.

If you don’t want to take any chances, here’s the link to the booking page >>

The other big news this week is that I’ve committed to a date for delivery to Debs & Joe at Bookshaker for the next Money Gym book. I’ve been planning and starting to write this over the last couple of weeks and I’m REALLY REALLY excited and inspired about this…I never knew I had another one in me. I’ve also been going through the existing Money Gym book and bringing it up to date, also adding brand new property and internet chapters. I’m finding that a bit of editing / updating on the old one, inspires me to write more in the new one.

My Book, His Book & VIP Bookings

Last weekend I went to London to speak for Neil Asher’s clients – over 120 people in the Millenium Sloane St who were bright, interactive and well up for learning new things. Neil had a good solid lineup of speakers and I was delighted to find Money Gym coach Philly Fuggle there as Paul was speaking about Total Business Cart the next day.

My talk went well and we attracted two new clients to Membership Club Magic. Two other nice surprises were two people in the audience – Geoff who I hadn’t seen since the Coachville conference in Las Vegas and a lady (Carole? So sorry, I was on a post talk adrenaline high and I don’t think you gave me a card!) who had coached me back in the very early days at one of Bob Griffith’s hot seat coaching days in London – you were trying to encourage me to raise my rates from £279.50 a month to over £300 and I was very resistant apparently.

Well I’ve so got over that and she was very pleased to hear it. I think the difference is that I know the value of what I deliver. And of course, I don’t need personal coaching clients as my main income is via the Money Gym, but I choose to work with a few people at a time, purely on internet related stuff, because I enjoy it.

Then I stayed up for dinner – a great Indian with a crowd of Neil’s closest clients and friends, and then up early to go to Heathrow for a rather disappointing event, where they were expecting 400 but only 90 showed for the first day,and only about 45 for the Sunday. Added to that, a couple of unfortunatel incidents made my talk popular but not very successful in terms of attracting new clients, but I enjoyed seeing Michael Young, meeting Yvonne from the African & Caribbean Business Network and it’s always a joy to hear Andy Harrington speak – he was particularly good this time!

The big news this week is that I’ve not only started to re-write my Money Gym book, but that process started me mindmapping / planning the next one. Then, all of a sudden, it started to pour out of me! I just couldn’t help myself!

You are not going to believe this, but Gary Vaynerchuk’s book signing yesterday was so succesful they sold out of the signed, first edition editions in SECONDS.

Which just proves the power of building a global brand that inspires loyalty, and makes sales!

However I have two bits of good news for you!

1. I secured 50 signed first edition copies for The Money Gym and (after I have mine!) we are going to be using some as prizes at our “Really Useful Internet Day” on Saturday 10th October and we will be selling the rest.

2. If you can’t make it on the 10th, or you are not bothered about a signed version, you can pre-order yours here http://bit.ly/mgcrushit

Otherwise, get yourself on our VIP Priority mailing list for our “Really Useful Internet Day” here

http://www.TheMoneyGym.com/internetday

We will be opening ticket bookings next Friday at 12 noon but you can make sure you are front of the queue!

£25 for a whole day of great content from Brett McFall, Martin Avis and myself plus competitions, opportunities to promote your business on our DVD and much, much more.

Business Success | Are You Ready To Crush It?

Isn’t life weird? Weird and wonderful all at the same time. A couple of years ago I signed up for Rich Schefren’s BGS (Business Growth System) live coaching programme and one of the included audios had an interview with a guy called Gary Vaynerchuk.

Man, he was LOUD!

I loved the interview though, and so I’ve been following Gary ever since, online, as he walked the talk, building his mum and dad’s wine store to a multi-million business, using 10-minute wine tasting videos on YouTube. I watched as he created WineLibrary.tv and became more famous, almost accidentally, sought after for his passionate talks at seminars and big corporate keynote speeches. As he almost accidentally built …

Did you know… that the Money Gym is writing another book?

Share Your Thoughts

Would you like to have your wealth creation story in OUR book?

Judith is writing a companion book to Nicola’s original and the working title is How I Did It. It will tell Judith’s story of how she put into practice what she learned from Nicola and The Money Gym and it will document what she actually did which made the difference, what actions she took to make more money.

This is a book for people who want a plan. Clients are always asking us just to tell them what to do. So we want to collect together all the stories of clients, colleagues and friends who have read the book or materials online, come to an MG event, listened to a webinar – anything – and gone home and DONE something different for a change, however small. It might even be something we referred you too – like someone else’s event. What was your breakthrough moment? How much more money did you make as a result of it, how much wealthier do you expect to become now you know that?

If you would like to share your story of how your financial situation has changed in order to inspire everyone to take one teeny tiny step to make more money, then we would love to hear from you. Your contribution can even be anonymous if you wish, or you can use it for publicity for you and your business too – your choice.

Please email judith [at] themoneygym.com and she will send you a list of questions to be thinking about.
