Press play and watch the video for some important lessons I learned about how I was the reason my business took so long to get off the ground and how I could leverage who I am to increase my online earnings.

Once you’ve watched the video, read below for more information about the two programs coming out and the special bonuses I’m offering.

Get Out Of Your Own Way

On June 11th Rich Schefren is opening up the doors to his Guided Profits System 2.0, only the second release of this course. As you likely know already, Rich has been a huge influence on me, in particular for one reason: He teaches how to get out of the way of yourself so your business can grow.

What I really admire about Rich is how he’s been able to build a business that truly functions without him. He even has a CEO that runs the business so he can focus on his strengths (i.e. the fun stuff he enjoys). His company does ten figures a year now (that’s over $10 million), which is truly amazing considering it didn’t exist just a few years ago.

I paid him $5,000 back in 2007 to go through his coaching program and to this day I consider it one of the best investments I made in Internet business training.

Discovering what your strengths are and finding out what constraints are holding you back, are the keys to success with any business. This is an area that is particularly relevant for us online business people because there isn’t really anybody else out there teaching this. Most of us do not intuitively understand that we shouldn’t be doing certain tasks and we aren’t even aware of how we hold our business back. Rich’s course is very good at helping you to discover what you don’t know you don’t know.

I endorse Rich’s program 100% and invite you to join via my affiliate link. I’m offering almost $2,000 worth of bonuses if you do so (see below). I recommend you consider Rich’s course if you already have a business and are in a situation to focus on yourself over the next 30 days as you go through his program.

Be True To Yourself And Others Will Love You

On June 12th Frank Kern is releasing the final 800 copies of his Mass Control 2.0 (yes everyone has a 2.0 nowadays). I don’t know if Rich and Frank talked to each other about launch dates, but hey, I love both these guys so I’m going to tell you about both of them in one blog post!

Why I love Frank is his ability to connect with his audience as a likable genuine guy. Not everyone loves him of course, but one thing is clear – he is by far the very best Internet marketing guru that can connect with people on a human-to-human level. Frank comes across as a “normal friend” and because you naturally like the guy, you naturally feel comfortable buying from him.

That in itself is a huge lesson and if there is one big take away from Frank is that you can – and should – be yourself when you market online if you want a strong relationship with your audience. As a blogger, we get this. To blog well, you blog as yourself.

Through the use of video Frank has taught how to use every day aspects of your life as a selling tool, which is something I’ve replicated after learning from him.

Frank’s opened up Mass Control several times previously and I’ve not purchased it, but this time with only 800 copies left, I’m buying. I’ve probably learned about as much from Frank as I have from any marketer in the last year or so, especially when it comes to relationship development and launch techniques.

Jeff Walker has the best product launch “formula” but Frank has the best strategy and techniques for influencing real human beings, who sit behind their computers and read your emails and blog posts.

If you want to learn more about how to effectively use email, blog posts, video or any form of online communication as a persuasion tool, Frank is the man, and since persuasion is my craft too, it’s about time I bought Mass Control 2.0.

If you’re interested in grabbing one of those last 800 copies of Mass Control 2.0 as well, I’m offering the same bonus as I am for Rich’s course, if you order through my affiliate link below.

Do You Want Almost $2,000 In Bonuses?

Warning: Bonuses on offer only to the first 30 orders total (that’s total of both product orders).

I’m not going to make a long speech about this. I’m giving you access to all my best programs on how to build a profitable blog and then use it as a launching pad to start earning the big money with a membership site.

I consider Rich and Frank two of the top players in the Internet marketing space and their programs are mandatory study if you’re serious about your online business growth. As an incentive and thank you for ordering through my link, I’m including the following bonuses if you buy either or both programs…

Bonus #1: The Complete Membership Site Mastermind Course

Earlier this year I launched the Membership Site Mastermind program, opening it for a week only, and it quickly filled up with over 300 students, who are presently completing their training.

This is the ultimate course for those interested in launching the best product model I know of online – a membership site. It’s particular good if you are a blogger as the course was built to use a blog as a launchpad for a membership site, which is what I did to grow my income from around $5,000 a month and really ramp it up beyond the $30,000 a month mark.

This program is currently closed to the public and I’m not opening it up any time soon, so if you want in right now, claiming this bonus is the only way.

Bonus #2: Blog Mastermind Premium Version

Blog Mastermind is a training program for people who want to replicate my system for building a high-profile and profitable blog. I created this course to put down into a concise training system, the process I went through to go from completely unknown to having a blog with thousands of subscribers and a six figure a year income.

The course is made up of 27 weekly lessons, hand-written by me personally, only available inside this program. The course also includes many additional resources such as interviews with expert bloggers, a private members forum, live coaching calls, the social traffic club and so much more.

With this bonus you get the premium version of the program, which is direct access to all the lessons and resources immediately.

Bonus #3: Become A Blogger Premium Version

Become A Blogger Premium is the best video training system to teach effective blogging in existence today. Created by Gideon Shalwick and myself, we have put together a combination of my top level blogging strategies and techniques, with Gideons very clear, step-by-step instructions on how to set up a blog and implement my system.

Already over 1,000 students have gone through this program and we have hundreds of fantastic feedback testimonials, so I know this program will impress you. If you’re a beginner and learn best through video that shows you exactly how to do something, this is ideal for you.

Presently Become A Blogger Premium is not open to the public, and will open later in June. Of course it won’t be free then, so if you want to get it now, it’s available as a special bonus in this offer.

Instructions For Claiming Your Bonuses

Rich Schefren’s program is 30 days of focused training and you need at least that much time to absorb Frank’s Mass Control 2.0 training.

Once you make your order through my link, send me an email to supportATblogmastermind.com and forward your receipt for either program or both programs (you only need to buy one to qualify for the bonus). My assistant will confirm your order was tracked under my referral, then email you back to confirm your qualification for the bonuses.

In 30 days, once you’ve finished studying what you paid for from Rich and/or Frank, then we will give you access to the bonuses. I deliberately enforce a 30 day waiting period before giving you the bonus so you don’t get overstimulated with content to study all at once and can make the most of what you paid for, and the bonuses I give you.

Here are those order links again:

Thanks for your support and I wish you the best of luck with the programs!

Make sure you watch the video at the start of this post. It’s not a sales pitch, rather a story from my own development as an Internet marketer.

As my Twitter followers know, I’ve been on the hunt for a stand up table to use as my work desk. I’ve wanted one for a long time because I can sometimes work long hours sitting down and my body, especially my back suffers. Standing up is much better for your body, especially your back and when I recently had Eben Pagan re-emphasize this fact in his Wake Up Productive program, I started actively looking for a tall desk.

Amazingly enough, after I tweeted about it, a staff member from Ikea representing my local branch of the store sent me a reply through Twitter pointing out some of the stand-up desks they sell. This week I went out to Ikea and bought one (well done to Ikea for being on top of Twitter marketing – I’m VERY impressed).

In this video I start with a brief demonstration of my home office set-up with the new stand-up desk and then move on to the teaching component of the video, about selling online products.

In a nutshell, in this video I draw upon knowledge gained from Eben Pagan, Mike Filsaime, Rich Schefren and my own recent experience selling information products online, to teach you what I consider a critical element if you really want to grow your online business well beyond six figures.

At the end of the video I recommend you check out what Rich is currently teaching regarding removing constraints as the next step you should take towards releasing your own product online.

A couple of years ago I was exposed to Rich Schefren during the very first Internet marketing launch he did. I had never heard of the guy before, but suddenly a lot of people I had heard of and respected were recommending him, so I paid some attention.

Rich went mainstream in the Internet marketing world thanks to the success of the Internet Business Manifesto report. To be completely honest, and this really is testament to the power of a strong lead free resource, if it wasn’t for the Manifesto, I would have stopped paying attention. Instead, I went on to join Rich’s Business Growth System, paying him almost $5,000 over the next 12 months.

Every New Business Lacks Momentum

One of the key lessons I learned, and this particularly came from listening in to the questions asked from other student’s of Rich during the live coaching calls with him, was that all businesses suffer from a lack of momentum when they start up. The psychology needed to deal with a lack of momentum in your business is different to what you need to do when your business has momentum, and it’s critical you understand the difference.

If right now you are having difficulty attracting new customers, or even just building a list or getting people to visit your website or blog, then you lack momentum. Momentum is the foundation that allows you to grow your business to the point where you can set up systems to separate yourself from the business.

Without momentum you don’t have cash flow and without cash flow you can’t afford to hire people, or outsource or purchase software that will help your business become more automated. In this situation, if you have no start-up capital to spend, you find yourself doing all the work.

Not only are you required to deliver the product or service you offer, you need to get out there and attract new customers by testing different marketing campaigns. Of course once you attract a customer, then your energy becomes divided, as you need to market less and start delivering. Unfortunately once you make this change, you get cash flow, but since you are no longer focused on marketing, your stream of new customers dries up. Once the current jobs are done, you have to get out and market again.

If you’re constantly in the stop and start loop between finding new customers and delivering to current customers, then you know what it’s like to feel too busy one day, and then struggling the next. You either have too much work and you’re flat out servicing, or your desperate for new leads. There is no happy medium where you have just enough work to be busy, just enough cash flow to keep growing and just enough new customers knocking on your door.

Do You Know Your Strengths?

One of the common problems I see my students face is a lack of strong vision. When you aren’t sure who your target market is, when you don’t know what your unique positioning is, when you’re not clear about what distinct problem you solve or need you meet, then momentum will be difficult to obtain.

Without clarity of purpose, then you send mixed messages and deliver sub-par outcomes. Being the best at one thing, a specialist, a maven in your market, is always the path to maximum profitability. You get the customers who you can best serve. Your customers get the best solution and everything lines up nicely.

What I really liked about Rich’s Business Growth System was his focus on having entrepreneurs find their strengths as a means to move towards a positioning strategy that leads to you dominating. If momentum starts with you, the clearer you are about what you personally need to do and what you should offer to the world, the better.

Once you’ve determined where your core personal points of leverage are (what you are good at and should focus on), everything else unfolds naturally. Most small business grow on the back of a very active entrepreneur attempting to do everything, including what he or she is not good at. This naturally leads to friction, as some parts of the business accelerate much faster than others, resulting in a lag in overall results.

When your largest business constraint is you, figuring out what part of you should be focused on and developed into a core strength, is critical.

In my case, blogging is what I teach and is the foundation of everything I do. The act of blogging, of studying and teaching blogging, serves to strengthen my “blogging muscle”. It’s a strong reinforcing cycle that allows me to constantly innovate and have the “technology” (the knowledge) that leads to me dominating my market.

Look For The Root Cause

If you’re lacking momentum then there’s very likely a mindset issue holding you back.

The reality, from a tactical stand point is that you haven’t taken the action steps necessary to build momentum (do keyword research, set up a PPC campaign, create a blog and landing page, etc), but the underlying reason why you don’t implement the tactical steps is because you lack a strategy to follow.

The strategy is the Roadplan, the Blueprint or the Masterplan (yes, these are the names of my free reports), which gives you the underlying psychology behind the decisions you are going to make that lead to actions you are going to take.

However, and this really is the key, behind the strategy is the mindset you have. Without the mindset you won’t be in a position to develop the strategy. You might “get” how something works, but you will block yourself from executing it correctly.

Everything comes back to how you think. Mindset is the real power and if you’re a devout reader of this blog, then you know what the key is to developing the right mindset:

1. Establish awareness so you know what is possible
2. Execute so you gain real experience to solidify the awareness you have gained as fact (at least fact in your world)

In other words, discover what you don’t know you need to know, turn it into something you know you need to know, study the bits you do need to know because you have to do it, and then put into action what you just learned.

Right now there’s a very good chance you are oblivious to even knowing what is holding you back from gaining momentum. Until you at least become aware of your problem, you will continually make mistakes or not get results and may be clueless as to why nothing seems to work for you.

Taking a course strong in strategy and mindset, like Rich’s Business Growth System, is exceptionally useful for what I’m talking about now. It doesn’t focus so much on the “shiny objects” part of growing business – in other words the techniques – it looks at the big picture.

Techniques are everywhere and most of them work if they have the right mechanic using them. They can be exciting because they show steps you can take that leads to a result, and they are vital for building a business, however they are rarely the root cause of your lack of momentum. Chances are you don’t need to know how to do more techniques right now, you just need to know they exist.

What’s really important is you learn how you personally fit into your business framework. Discover your strengths, become aware of what things need to be completed based on the business you are building, then find your place in the machine, and start building it. That is the key to building sustainable momentum.

Good luck!
