I have found that most of us need reprogramming. We’ve been taught to avoid failure by abstaining from challenges with uncertain outcomes. When we hear the threads of wisdom of those that are successful, it helps remind us of a higher calling – not to avoid such challenges but to seek them out, determined to make a positive outcome a reality… even if we must endure failures that precede it.

Are You Building Your Business To Give You True Freedom?

I speak with so many who’ve built their business or business opportunity so that they are shackled to a hamster wheel long term.   I can remember several years ago working with a large company to discover why their top employees never desired for advancement.  They couldn’t promote from within and didn’t know why? I found the reason; the responsibilities and culture surrounding each advanced position demanded an immense amount of time commitment to the extent that most of their management core were divorced.  As a result, no self-respecting person would apply to join what several called “the management cult” because the company structure positioned success and advancement to be a threat to their personal lives.  I’ve said it before and I’ll quote Covey again, when it comes to our business we must “begin with the end in mind”. 

You have to ask yourself, if I achieve even a respectable level of success, will I be more enslaved by the business model I’m currently in or less? Pardon my direct tone my friends, but if you’re not building your business to at least have the choice to semi-retire in 8-12 months then you’re foundational business plan is terribly flawed.  It’s not necessarily your fault however, you’ll be forced to live with the consequences unless your course is altered.

The Reasons Why

So the next natural question is why.  There are many scenarios however most can be traced back to one of these three:

1. Started the business with wild unrealistic long term goals but without short term action steps and proper training
2. Found a business opportunity designed to keep you on the hamsters wheel that got you excited and passionate about potential financial freedom.  You’ve run incredibly hard with it and never looked up.
3. You know you’re on the right track but you’ve never learned the strategies behind building your business so that you could truly walk away while it still earned you revenue, returning periodically when you choose to tweak it.

So What Do You Do?

If you are building an affiliate or Internet marketing company then you have full freedom here to incorporate changes and I’ll get to you in a second.  If you’re involved in a business opportunity or a network marketing company you must first examine the compensation and advancement structure.  Is it a realistic one or a carrot meant to bait you?  Second look at the culture.  With many business opportunities you have the flexibility to practically run your business the way you want within that structure.  If the company is sound and you have an attachment to the product line or offering, it is often difficult to just pick up and walk away from an emotional standpoint.  So in either case if you are building your own business or building a business opportunity, here are your choices:

• Scrap it all together, take what you’ve learned and start from scratch with a new foundation
• Remain but with a different philosophy and try to change it from within
• Remain but learn to build a complimentary “Plan B Venture” with the right foundation.

But How Do I Build My Business To Semi-Retire?

As I always preach, you first must be passionate about what you do. The second however is that you have to be building the business so that you control it as it grows or it will control you and destroy all the reasons you first pursued the venture in the first place. You see, if you’re not starting your business to at least have the choice to semi-retire within a year then why are you doing it? 

So how do you structure and build your business to semi-retire? Ah! That is the real question isn’t it.  It’s actually pretty easy and I teach it to all those that are part of the “free coaching for life” that I’m offering on my crusade to teach 1000 people how to earn 6-figures  this year which is getting some phenomenal results. I know those who I’ve coached that are “work-aholics” but build a business with this foundation every 6-10 months and then travels for several weeks before coming back and doing it again.  The point is, that they have the freedom to do that because they’ve built it that way. 

When I work with you we can make your business (or your “plan B venture”) do this as well by utilizing several strategies in which to structure your business for it to provide that for you.  If you sign up to jump start your business by getting either of the “Success-Step” training systems (see below), I’ll teach you how to structure your business to achieve the future you really want. You deserve to live a fulfilled life which is why you decided to start your online business in the first place.  Now take the next step and create it to reward you with the future you want.

For those that are marketers and desire to represent a strong quality product, I am considering partners for an affiliate launch for both of the Success Step Training Systems. It will have a 75% payout with a monthly recurring residual component in it as well. This is designed to be a very lucrative opportunity. If you are an affiliate or Internet marketer this will enable you to promote the ”Success Steps To Building Wealth Online”; a great product that gets results with my personal integrity attached to it.  Network marketers; the “Success Steps Training System For Network Marketers” is a perfect way for you to develop another income stream while teaching your downline to explode their organization and earning potential (and thus yours as well). 

Since I believe firmly in what Jim Rohn said: “You can’t get rich by demanding. The secret to obtaining all good things in your life is becoming more valuable. “ My motivation is for you to have an opportunity to compliment whatever online business you are pursuing that you can stand behind, that you can promote which will make you more valuable to others.

The Real Income Potential 

To show you the financial opportunity I wanted to give you a dollar scenario rather than just throw percentages at you.  If you become an approved affiliate, you will of course be given your own signature link.  When those prospects who click your link, convert to sales either immediately or eventually (there is tracking for that btw) you will then be qualified for commissions.  Here is a scenario to spell out the income potential.

If we take a reasonable number of 25 people a week (about 3.5 a day) who purchase either of the “Success Step” training systems through your link(s), in 2 months we anticipate you will have a total approximate revenue of $9600 ,with an expected residual of approximately $800 a month that should continue to increase as the traffic from your link(s) result in more transactions each week.  There will be those who will most likely be responsible for over 50 transactions a week but I wanted to use a lower number. If 25 transactions a week would continue for 6 months, your total revenue would be $51,500 with a potential monthly residual of $2,600 a month.  (See, I told you I made it to be a lucrative opportunity for you.)  For some of you this means that you will have completed your own “Success Step” training and then used the very knowledge you’ve gained to market the very training that educated you.  That’s the type of success story I want to empower!

How To Be Included On The Affiliate List

If you desire to be considered to become an affiliate for either (or both) training systems then email me at the address at the bottom of this post with the subject line reading “Success Steps Affiliate”.  Include your name, website(s) and how you plan to conduct your marketing effort (email, social media, PPC, website, blog post etc.).  You’ll then be on the list with the information you provide reviewed for consideration.  We anticipate initiating the affiliate launch with our affiliate partners within the next 90 days (in August) so get them in to secure your spot.

Committed to your success!

I’ve always felt that I’m most effective communicating any message when I’m speaking directly to my intended audience, either one on one or in front of large groups.  Unfortunately most of the times I have spoken or trained large groups were not taped and the ones that have been arent applicable to the present enterpreneurial coaching focus.  When I started my business I made a deliberate decision not to pursue training and speaking engagements as one of my foundational priorities. I wanted to safeguard the type of business life I would create by ensureing that I would contol how I ran it, and not have it run me.  Otherwise it could affect my family by not rpeventing it from mirroring the obligations of my past corporate life where my family suffered as a result of me being in such high demand.  For that reason, one of the objectives I set for 2010 was specifically to begin getting more of valuable content out to you directly on video so that my message can reach more people and yet still keep the foundational commitments I have for conveying the training and inpirational coaching that I’m so passionate about. 

One of the elements you will immediately notice on video is that I am very passionate about what I do.  I have a burning desire to do what I do and that comes accross far better using this medium. To a large extent, blog posts and emails are’nt the ideal method by which to convey that.  In an effort to connect with you genuinely and more often, these will not be videos shot with cutting edge technology and with production values. They will be shot from my home office in the morning or in between client meetings and conference calls.  You can expect for them to occur a few times a week and distributed to you all the same day.  I also intend to have a video tab on the blog so that you’ll be able to refer back to past topics. 

Concerning the video topics; my original thoughts are that they will be based on needs that I hear from you guys, all be it motivational, marketing strategy or business owner mindset related where I feel I can both meet the need and compliment the resources I already provide.  They will stick to my mantra of no fluff but just steady helpings of online business “meat & potatoes” to give you a shot in the arm and create as many “Ahhh! Now I get it!” moments as I can provide.  I truly want to serve as your tour guide as you build your business in a way that allows you to be both successful and live a fulfilled life.  Please don’t overlook that distinction.  I’ve known many who have built successful businesses and yet were slaves to them, hating what they did because of the flawed foundation they built it upon.

My intention is also to make this video content totally free to you all, having chosen not to put them on the Learn2Earn training and support site.  Its not because I think $27 is a high price to pay for all the content and training I give you there.  Rather my perspective is, how does anyone know the level of value and content I provide unless they see the steady stream of it?  That type of honest value has always been my goal and it will not change. Make no mistake, these will not be promo commercials.  That again would not give you the content I am aiming for or for that matter, content that can easily be applied to your efforts.

So look for them coming this week.  I look forward to your feedback.

I’m on a mission to reclaim lives, to inspire those of you who have muffled your inner-voice, conformed and accepted less of yourself in order to fit in; to empower those who have realized that they’ve accepted merely existing in the past but believe that there must a more fulfilling way to live.  A mission to connect with those of you who admit you have a torch of light burning inside that you’ve kept hidden.  I invite you to come closer my friends, because I’d like to pour my gallon-jug of gasoline on it, to ignite your passion and fuel you for greater things. 

I am a strong proponant of creating the life you want through building a business you can become passionate about.  A business that both utilizes and develops your strengths while fulfilling you deeply and providing financial freedom. To serve that purpose, there isnt any better platform than creating your own business online to take back control of your life.  Trust me, I’m fortunate to see lives transformed everyday.

 It’s for this reason that I created a system that can teach you everything you need to know to launch & grow your business in a few short weeks. This blog plays a vital role in the coaching & training offered by “Learn2earn it now”; an online-education & support portal for aspiring web based entrepreneurs and marketers who seek straight talk coaching and easy to use training.  It is designed to work hand-in-hand with the “Success-Steps” Training Systems” to empower you to create the fulfilled life you desire to achieve.

This blog along with the training systems & resources were created because I couldnt sit on the sidelines anymore watching those that have become successful purely by preying on people like you who are starving for credible instruction & insight only to be utterly demoralized and convinced YOU were the problem. Whether your business opportunity involves affiliate marketing, internet marketing or a multi-level model; if you desire to gain instruction, insight and inspiration that is intended to transform both your business & personal life, then you’ve come to the right place.

I’ve been fortunate enough to provide consultative coaching to business owners and corporate leaders to assist them in reaching their revenue goals for over 15 years. Due in large part to the economy, over the past 2 years the number of entrepreneurs who have launched Internet based businesses have  increased at an astonishing rate.  The fact is that whether you’re an aspiring Internet or affiliate marketer, creating an online business or growing an MLM organization, if you don’t know how to use SEO & advanced internet marketing techniques then you’re doomed already.

With 9 out of 10 new online business owners and Internet enterpreneurs failing in the first 63 days I have felt passionately compelled to share the knowledge that I have been fortunate enough to accrue from both my extensive corporate training & online business building experience.

The Biz Coach Blog  and the “Learn2earn it now” training & support portal are great opportunities for me to do exactly that.  After all, let’s face it, deep down inside we all want the same thing; to live a successful & fulfilled personal and business life.  Both sites are intended to work hand in hand with the Success Steps To Building Online Wealth training system as well as the Success Steps Training System For Network Marketers .  

In this economic climate there are more people taking stock of their life, rethinking their definition of job-security that they’ve bought into for so long and what it means to truly live rather than just “exist”.  Many of you have come to place where you shake your head and say “I feel stuck in my life, almost imprisoned and feel that I’ve been stuck like this for a long time.  There has to be something more…”.  If you’ve asked yourself this question then my answer to you is emphatically  “Yes, there is!!”.  I believe everyone deserves to live a fulfilled life!  This year I’m committed to teaching at least 1000 people how to earn over 6-figures online, get off the “hamster wheel” they feel stuck in and live life fulfilled. 

I invite you to become one of them  by soaking up the valuable information and video coaching I provide through this blog and taking advantage of either the Success Steps To Building Online Wealth or the  Success Steps Training System For Network Marketers.  The “Success Step” training systems are the only programs on the net that combine a full-spectrum curriculum of both written & video training, designed specifically for “non-geeks” to make an immediate dramatic effect on your online business.  They have been created to give you EVERYTHING you need to help ensure your success to build a thriving organization online no matter what business opportunity you’re marketing! 

Those that have had their businesses and lives transformed by the “Success-Steps” have said that it was the difference maker they desperately sought after!  When you click on the link & review the information about the training systems, be sure to check out the testimonials at the bottom of the page. Like a dad, I’m super proud of them. Spend any time here and you’ll quickly learn that I’m “passionately  committed” to transforming lives!
