A Week In The Life Of Another Wealth Coach: Philly Fuggle

As Judith mentioned in last week’s newsletter, between now and Christmas, all of us coaches will be sharing with you a bit about what we are up to. Judith called on me to be the first, because I think she was a bit concerned that I would not get to do my bit before I got myself all tied up in dirty nappies and sleepless nights and before I started talking “Ga Ga” to you all.
Yes that is right, for those of you who did not know, I am expecting, due on 8th December and soon to be a Mum. So as you can imagine life in Philly’s world is all go, along with the baby preparations, I am busy automating as many of my tasks as possible and getting things in place so our wealth creation activities keep building for us whilst we have a bit of time off to welcome our new family member.
This week has been an eye opening and exciting week for me with the start of a year’s relationship with a wonderful new Gold Client, being hit by the “Boiler Bang” and meeting a COMPLETE newbie to the internet.
A Wealth Creation Dream Come True
by NicolaCairncross on October 18, 2009
in Money Gym | Diaries
This week a long time wealth creation dream of mine came true….but before I tell you about that, I’ll tell you about my mad exciting week first!
Last Tuesday it was my boy Nelson’s 12th birthday so he, Phoebe and I went to Brighton to their favourite restaurant, Yo! Sushi, where they got through frightening amounts of….you guessed it, sushi, then we all went to see “Fame – The Movie”
This was great not only because I love all that singing and dancing “luvvie” stuff, but because the graduation ceremony gave me the best quotes on success I’ve come across for a while, but how to get hold of it?
I scoured YouTube but the film is too new for it to be up there yet, so I sent out a few tweets and an email to our Money Gym Google groups. It took a couple of days but Carrie Eddins emailed the speech back for me to use in my presentation on success on the “Really Useful Internet Day”
When I thanked her, thinking she must have had it downloaded or something, she said”I walked past the cinema, and thought..if it ’s screened when I walk past then I will watch it again.. and it was. I watched it missed a bit and then it was immediately screened again!! It was fun in the end!!”
Wow, thanks again Carrie, that’s helpfulness above and beyond the call of duty! Our google group and the people in it, is amazing. Just think, if that’s the Silver level group support, imagine what the Money Gym Boardroom google group will be able to do for YOUR business!

Internet Marketing Workshop | Selling The Sausage Not The Sizzle?
by NicolaCairncross on October 5, 2009
in Money Gym | Business, Money Gym | Internet
Are we selling the sausage but not the sizzle of our Internet Marketing Workshop this Saturday 10th October? When we first came up with the plan for “The Really Useful Internet Day” we wanted to avoid all the hype and over-excitement that you get at the bigger events.
http://www.themoneygym.com/internetday/booking.htm
We wanted to put on a down to earth day, that would do three things:
1. Give you some simple step by step actions that you can take, to start making a second (passive) income online
2. If you are a business owner, give you some ideas for creating extra profits, and the knowledge to put those ideas into action.
3. Give you some insights into the mindset of the most successful people who make money online, and what really made the difference for them.
So far, so good, you might think.
However, I’m wondering if we are wrong to be selling the sausage and not the sizzle. Because we all know that people don’t want the sausage but always buy the sizzle!
So…………..what is the sizzle of an internet marketing workshop?
The sizzle is the promise that by attending this workshop you will be able to leave your job, close your business and spend the rest of your days travelling the world with your laptop, checking your bank balance occasionally.
Well, to be honest, if I sent the kids to live with their dad, I could actually do that now, but I love the little blighters and will have to wait for them to go to college, before I up sticks and go live somewhere much cheaper and just commute back and forward to the UK.
Why Internet Marketing Is A Really Big Issue By Judith Morgan
by Judith Morgan on October 2, 2009
in Money Gym | Internet
At The Money Gym, one of the issues which always brings forth the most controversy, the most heated debate, is Internet Marketing.
Why is it such a Big Issue?
I am grateful to The Money Gym for teaching me a lot about marketing and about internet marketing specifically and latterly also about social networking. Where would we be in this day and age without understanding how to use to world wide web to our advantage?
When I think back to my early days in business the choices were direct mail, still effective by the way if you know how to do it well, or expensive advertising which can be a bit hit and miss for my money.
And both of those took a very long time to achieve results and both were also costly; you lay out your cash before you know whether or not it will bring you the clients and customers you so desperately need and want. Not much of a model for success, that.
The web offers us the chance to get almost instant feedback from our market, whether or not they like and will pay for our latest offering. And you can find that our for free (if you dont count your time into the equation).
That’s why I love and appreciate what I have learned. And why I use it almost every day in my businesses and in my life, both online and off, because some of the marketing lessons apply equally well offline too.
But my bugbear, if you will, and where I take issue with the multi-millionaires who teach us how to do this, is that they sell a dream. And the dream is that you can make passive income from a hotel balcony in the sunshine with just your laptop.
And you get to spend all day counting your money.
Just this week a client asked if it were possible to make £1,000 pcm within six months……
Karen, Co-Incidence & More Fun At The Crown & Anchor

Well I came third in our Friday night social evening game of Texas “No Limits” Hold’em last week so I was very happpy. It was a great fun evening too, with the chill con carne and pizza going down well, and masses left for Saturday night’s X-Factor first week of Bootcamp gathering. And down to the final tables both games on Monday at the Crown & Anchor, third in the cash game – £12.50 which covered my night’s entertainment and dinner LOL.
Tickets are selling steadily and well for the “Really Useful Internet Day” next Saturday – yes! that’s right, only 8 days to go now, as I write this on Friday 2nd October. OUr gang have had a good crack at the tickets in advance, and several of my internet marketing buddies are mailing over the weekend, including @NeilAsher and @MarkAnastasi, thanks guys!
Neil’s done an interesting promotion, where he gives value to his mailinig list by analysing my sales page, and that of another mate of his at the same time, highlighting the bits that stand out and how different styles work for different markets. Here is what he sent to his list
Neil Asher Gets Nicola’s Parts Out In Public

I was lying relaxing on the table at the local Shoreham beauty parlor (called Beachcomber which I always find quite funny for some reason) being tended to by the lovely Laura, when someone tweeted me to say I was being exposed in public in more ways than one! That naughty Neil Asher (who organises the Financial Freedom Bootcamp that I spoke for recently) has analysed our marketing and taken apart our info page for the “Really Useful Internet Day” and he doesn’t pull his punches here!
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.
Money Gym Interviews | Martin Avis

in Money Gym | Internet
As we prepare for the Money Gym “Really Useful Internet Day”, here’s another in the series of interviews with Internet succeess stories – real people making real money (and big but not ridiculous money too!) online.
I’m delighted to introduce Martin Avis, who is one of our speakers on the day, and my first choice too! I came across Martin several times before I got to know him, but as you will hear, he’s so unassuming it’s easy to miss him AT FIRST if there are louder people around! But sooner or later, Martin comes into your radar as a real live bone fide success online. He’s helpful to newbies, generous with his time and I like him a lot. His “London Lunches” are great fun and you never know who you are going to meet there.
You can see/hear the rest of Martin’s interview – where he reveals the three biggest mistakes that aspiring internet marketers make, when trying to make money online – when you book your place on The Money Gym “Really Useful Internet Day” at http://www.TheMoneyGym.com/internetday
Money Gym Interviews | Brett McFall

As we prepare for the Money Gym “Really Useful Internet Day”, here’s another in the series of interviews with Internet succeess stories – real people making real money (and big money!) online. I first heard of Brett McFall as he interviewed Ed Dale and Frank Kern, who invented the famous “Underachiever” method for making money online, and ironically, I now live opposite the very beach I was walking along when I listened to that audio. The audio had been to promote the first UK World Internet Summit, which I attended, and I’ve never missed one since. Brett kindly allowed me to speak at the 2nd WIS, and that set me off on my speaking career and I’m proud to say, we have become friends since.
Professional copywriter, internet marketer, co-founder of the World Internet Summit and now author and TV celebrity in Oz, Brett wowed our Money Gym crowd last year at our “Make Money While You Sleep” co-branded internet day and by popular demand, he’s back this year for us, on 10th October.
You can see Part 2 of Brett’s interview when you put your name and email in the VIP Priority list at http://www.TheMoneyGym.com/internetday and when we launch the bookings at the end of this week, and you confirm your attendance at the day and donate £25 to the Big Issue, you’ll get to enjoy the rest of Brett’s interview, Jennie’s interview and Martin Avis’ too.

As we prepare for the Money Gym “Really Useful Internet Day”, here’s another in the series of interviews with Internet succeess stories – real people making real money (and big money!) online. I first saw Jennie speaking at the first ever World Internet Summit and we have subsequently become firm friends. Jennie is a mean Texas “No Limits” Hold’em player and won the Internet Marketers Cruise tournament last year (I came in about eighth!). This interview was recorded the night before Jennie was due to speak at Mark Anastasi’s Traffic Generation Summit in London on 29th June 2009.
