What Are YOU Like? More Secrets of Success

I’m just back from the Ecademy Blackstar Christmas Party, which I thoroughly enjoyed.  I loved hanging out with all those other positive, upbeat, professional, passionate business people and it really gave me a shot in the arm in many different ways.

When you work at home, or with just one or two other people, even when you have a large online community, you do miss having direct feedback about yourself from a wider crowd.  In a constant effort to improve, you focus on what you are NOT doing, what you DON’T know, what you are NOT like. So it was great to be in a room full of people who fed back to me what I DO know, what I AM doing right, and what I AM like.

The other interesting thing was how many people asked me how the ….lets call it a downturn…..was affecting my business, or me personally, or our clients.

My answer was that the current market conditions was not affecting me personally, the Money Gym business is doing fine – especially as more people want to know how to create extra income streams, and protect their family against the threat of redundancy, and the clients are simply adapting their wealth creation strategies to suit the current market, and make even more money!

Funny how it felt like they deep down almost wanted me to say “times are tough” so that they could then say to themselves “Yeah, well, that wealth creation business…..alright in a good market but looks like I don’t need to take any action right now”.  Wrong, wrong, wrong.

But as I say, the thing that struck me from participating in the Blackstar Boardroom sessions, where we get together in a group of six and air our biggest issue, to get feedback and support, was just how much I know about all sorts of things!

Not blowing my own trumpet, but I have been “at” this Wealth Creation game so long, constantly learning new things, new techniques, new strategies, new experts…..

I thought I would share with you what you can expect to learn in The Money Gym, if you join Gold before midnight on the 3rd January.  The top three things in each Lane Of The Wealth Highway, if you like.

Although you can of course just focus on one or two Lanes at one time – and we recommend you do!!

Internet:

1.  How to set up and configure a simple blog to attract free targeted traffic to your business or offer & build your mailing list
2.  How to harness the power of Social Networking (using a couple of simple tools), online video and audio, to drive free traffic to your blog
3.  How to turn your blog into a membership site, so you can attract 17,000 people paying you £5 a month – work it out people!!

Property:

1.  How to make money from property even if you don’t have a good credit rating or deposit to invest
2.  How to buy your next family home for £1 and rent it in the meantime with your rent being deducted from the eventuall purchase price
3.  How to buy property 40-50% under market value and get your deposit paid for you

Business:

1.  How to identify the reasons your business isn’t where you want it to be yet and the dilemmas holding you back
2.  How to turn those reasons & dilemmas into a step by step, strategic plan to follow, to make your business explode this year
3.  How to add thousands of pounds to your existing bottom line, for a miniscule outlay in time and effort

Stockmarket:

1.  How to take your underperforming or miniscule pension and turn into something you control, and decide what to invest in
2.  How to make money from the stockmarket without ever buying a share
3.  How to create an income that, in the words of one client, “beats in a week what I was working my a*** off for a month for”.

And that’s just the tip of the iceburg.

In the property and internet lanes alone I could have gone on to list the “Top 10 Things We Will Teach You”.

But………..do you know what the problem is?

What is stopping us teaching you those things?

There are FIVE main things that might stop us being able to teach you those things……….

And they are……..

1.  You have to join The Money Gym Gold – we can’t do anything unless you do.

2.  You have to show up; to your coaching calls, to the workshops, to the webinars, to the Mastermind Google Group.

3.  You have decide what you will do, then follow the instructions and just do it.

4.  In order to get the best results you will also have to focus.  Cut out all non-wealth creating distractions for a year!

5.  Don’t give up.  We can help you overcome ANY obstacle or challenge, but not if you give up.

These last three are so important I’m going to go into them in more detail over the next couple of days, they are Secrets of Success #3, #4 and #5, if you like.

Wealth Coach Diaries: Nicola’s Week

STREAMLINING…..

Sometimes, something great creeps up on you and suddenly the time is just right to put it into action.

We have just crossed our 2007/2008 end-of-year at The Money Gym and compared with 2006/2007 it’s almost unrecogniseable.  Together with the input from Judith and Steve, what I have learned from Ecademy and Rich Schefren and other mentors, we are finally within sight of the inspirational picture Andy Shaw painted for The Money Gym back in 2005.

In 2007/2008 we tried new marketing methods, introduced new products, bundled things together, got professionally written sales letters for our two core products, created and then finally ironed out most of the wrinkles on the membership site.  Hmmm, well nearly.

I got to grips with online video, MySpace, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Wordpress blogs, I started a live TV show at Justin.tv (ok, so it’s been a bit on hold the last few weeks but it will be back) and we came across some GENIUS experts and some mind-blowing wealth creation techniques to share with our members.

So what’s 2008/2009 going to look like?  Streamlined, that’s what.  Judith sent an email prior to our quarterly focus meeting next week, that just made so much sense that we have put some of it into action already.

The product / marketing funnel looks like this….

FRONT END

1.  Various free reports upselling to….

2.  Money Gym ebook – bundled with 30 days Silver Membership trial upselling to….

3.  Money Gym ebook / paperback – bundled with 90 days Silver Membership trial

BACK END

1.  Money Gym Silver Membership – ongoing membership of our community, very affordable, including virtual / telephone wealthcoaching with optional workshops at a big discount

2.  Money Gym Gold – 1:2:1 wealth coaching with Year 1 workshops thrown in free, ongoing lifetime membership for free, which after Year 1 includes the option to purchase one-off wealth coaching sessions from any of the coaches.

3.  Money Gym Events – face to face wealth coaching / experts at specialist workshops

That’s it.  Nice and simple.  Works for us, certainly works for our clients.

SEARCH ENGINES

Our Google Analytics across our sites / blog is finally working properly thanks to the lovely Caitlin and the sterling techie efforts of Steve who somehow seems able to interpret and implement the incomprehensible (to me!) instructions of said Caitlin.

Next step to set up “goals”, so that Google can track how many of our unique visits actually do what we want them to.  This is click to the upsell page, and then actually buy and ebook / ebook upsell.

I want to know, definitively, if we get 1000 unique visits, how many click to buy, and out of those, how many buy the upsell.  Then how many take up the free trial at the membership site, and out of those, how many stay past the first month, second month, third month, six months, one year….etc etc.

Good info = good decisions.

Then we restart our Google Adwords campaign, to drive traffic to our ebook sales page again (now the complete product / marketing funnel is in place) and then the next step is…..

Google Website Optimiser.

This is where you use the might of this free tool from Google to test hundreds of versions of your sales pages to work out which one of the many combinations sells best.

I have NO IDEA conceptually how that can work but I trust Google enough to know that it can.  I can’t wait!

SLEEPOVERS

Somehow I have been inveigled into letting my kids have two back-to-back sleepovers – two friends each.  No idea how that happened, as Steve and I had previously said “no more!”.

Friday night is the 13 years old girlies, coming here to get ready for Snap @ The Honey Club, a police run disco at a proper grown up nightclub in Brighton.  The mums & dads take it in turns to drop off / pick up, and somehow…I agreed to let her have her two mates over afterwards.  They want chinese to eat afterwards so I’m heading to Tesco for some ready made meals – marginally better for them than take-away!

Tomorrow night it’s Nelson’s turn, with two little boys he will be taking over the lounge so they can have fun with the Playstation and a couple of movies.  The boys are marginally more bearable than the girls, whose incessant giggling does my head in!

I can’t remember ever giggling that much!
