“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful,
and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it:” Gen 1:28

Four things. Simple, yet profoundly important for succeeding
in business. Rule number one was to be fruitful. Create
something of excellence, worthy of duplication. Create
something others would want. The better you are at step one,
the more important step two becomes.

Step two is multiply. Don’t try to multiply the franchise,
the product, the service until it is first of all proven to
be fruitful as a stand alone. Once it is proven, you are
ready to multiply. The secret to multiplication is systems.
The better the system, the faster you can multiply. Go back
about 100 years ago when there were hundreds of car
manufacturers in America. They would work hard all day
crafting an original masterpiece of a car. The next day they
would do it all over again. They weren’t multiplying – they
were adding!

Along comes Henry what’s his name and he streamlined the
manufacturing process based on Adam Smith’s economic
philosophy outlined in The Wealth of Nations, where men
focused on one aspect of the production and left the rest to
others. The work was terribly mundane but the pay was the
best in the country and the Ford motor car became the best
selling automobile in the country.

If you have been fruitful with an idea and it is working for
you, it may be time to multiply. If it is, you will need to
set up systems for sales, marketing, accounting,
communication, etc that integrate with each other. If you
need a little help transitioning to the multiplication
phase, drop me a line. I am introducing a coaching program
in a few weeks aimed at helping people do just that and a
lot more.

Speaking of multiplying… last week in Austin, I met a couple
of kingdom minded internet entrepreneurs who are widely
respected for their accomplishments and their walk with God.
One of them, Matt Gillogly has been very successful in
coaching people and shared with me that he is having a three
day event for a small group of folks interested in learning
how to do what he does. I believe the attendance is limited
to about 25 because he will be recording this entire
program.

There will be no pitches for product or upsell to additional
services. Just three days of training on how to run a
successful coaching business. I plan to attend because I
want to know the best methods, systems and technologies
available to help me provide coaching to many of you
beginning in October. If you are a coach or considering that
as a career, you might want to check it out. Maybe I will
see you there. It’s October 2 – 4 in Charlotte, NC.

Hello Friend,

Tuesday evening’s webinar with Debra Thompson Roedl was nothing short of spectacular. I can’t tell you how many people we’ve heard from who enjoyed the event very much. Here are just a couple of examples:

“Thank you for the teaching and for the web marketing with Debra. It was well worth waking up at 2am in UK to take part.” - Sandra, UK

“I can not express my gratitude enough for what you have done for me! …This was an excellent webinar packed with jewels and now my head is spinning with all the dreams and visions of what we can achieve! Michael, just think about that Millionaire Team in the making around the globe!” - Wilhelmien, Switzerland

These are just a couple of examples of the countless people from the US and abroad who submitted their thoughts during and after the webinar, sent e-mails and made comments on the blog site about the event.

Replay Update

So many of you have asked me about whether we recorded the event. Here’s some good news for you: thanks to Debra’s team, I’m happy to report that we now have a replay of the event available. Click here to watch it right now or at your convenience.  I recommend you do it soon, because I’m not sure when we’ll be taking it down.

More good news: you will hear that at the end of the event, Debra made an opportunity for continuing education available to everyone.  Mind you, you will benefit from watching this webinar whether or not you’re thinking about continuing on and benefitting from additional training with Debra.  That being said, you will hear that she made a very special “joint venture” offer for the 1st 25 people who signed up for additional training.  I’m happy to report that I spoke with her yesterday and went to bat for my subscribers, because there were so many people who missed the event because of the schedule. Debra agreed to make that joint venture offer available to another 25 people!  So… when you hear her talk about that, if you’re thinking about moving forward, you should do so! Chances are if you sign up in the next few days you will be one of those who can take advantage of that opportunity.

Again… whether or not you are interested in moving further with continuing education, I highly recommend you take some time — either today or over the weekend — to watch this webinar. As one person who watched it commented, “It was great.  She really is off the charts genuine… I really was impressed.” You will see her heart shine through as someone who truly wants to impact the world for the King… and equip others to do the same.

Be sure to come back to the blog after you’ve seen it and let me know your thoughts.

Blessings,

Michael

“Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he prunes it, that it may bring forth more fruit.” John 15:2

Fruitfulness. It matters to God. It matters to me. It should matter to all of us. There are many ways a life can be fruitful but for those of us called into the business arena, we understand fruitfulness as the ability to create value both for ourselves and in the lives of others.

One of the most fruitful persons I know is Debra Thompson Roedl. Debra is recognized internationally in the “Information Marketer’s” industry as one of the top marketing strategist for high-profile Information Marketers.  She has been behind the scenes increasing fruitfulness for such millionaires as Armand Morin, Mark Victor Hansen (Chicken Soup For The Soul), Matt Bacak, John Dessauer, Vickie Sullivan, Ted Thomas and as CEO for John Childers’, Wealth Academy, and she has worked with Libby Gill (Expert and Marketing Strategist that Launched Dr. Phil).

It has taken months to secure…

But tonight it’s our turn for Debra to help all of us increase our fruitfulness. Debra has a tender heart for the Lord and a business acumen that is the envy of many. In fact, over the past several years Debra has built several million dollar businesses for others and tonight she is making herself available to you on a teleseminar that will have an open ended timeframe to answer all your questions as she endeavors to take your fruitfulness to the next level. By way of example, consider the following…

• She created John Dessauer’s Information Business, The Dessauer Group with his signature product “Making Millions in Multi-Units” from the ground up, which generated over $600,000 in the first 5 months of operation and now today is a multi-million dollar information business.
• As the former CEO for John Childer’s Wealth Academy she took John’s business to the next million dollar level building up his Million Dollar Speaker Training, putting branding, products, websites, services and systems into place for his international multi-million dollar organization and trainings.
• Serving as a Special Consultant to Mark Victor Hansen, Debra created a high-end membership program and products for Mark to sell to his list.  The program was then launched by Mark Victor Hansen and Robert Allen and within 2 hours of launching it generated over $400,000!
• Debra worked with Troy Fullwood as a special consultant to develop and put into action his seminar and speaking business.  Troy has gone on now to speak at venues across the country and in front of audiences of more than 1000 people, selling his information product on the ABC’s of Notes.

Replicating Fruitfulness in One Million-Dollar Enterprise After Another…

Today, Debra continues to build her own Information Marketing Enterprise… Wealth Alliance Group along with her partners, her husband Randy Roedl and her brother Robin Thompson. Together they have created Accelerator Systems, a specific product line of “How To Products” sold world-wide to Information Marketers wanting to turn their ideas into wealth! She continues to offer her consulting services to business entrepreneurs world-wide and has become a top secret marketing weapon that they have added to their business arsenal to “sky rocket” their business.

I tell you all this because I know many of you really need and want the kind of information Debra will be sharing with us in tonight’s webinar at 9:00 pm EDT. I know this because you’ve told us that in our recent survey. But even more than that, I am urging you to join us tonight because God wants us fruitful and Debra is an expert at making businesses fruitful.

We reserved a block of 400 phone lines but they were snapped up last week. We ordered another block of 400 lines and already half of them have been spoken for. Make sure you secure your spot on tonight’s event. And be sure to watch your email (after you sign up) for instructions on joining the call and watching the Webinar live on your computer. If you don’t receive the instructions right away after registering, email us at webinar [at] sellingamongwolves [dot] com and we will get you squared away.

Then get ready for fruitfulness!

The reason I have asked Debra to post a few blogs on our site is because I know how phenomenally successful she has been. Not only do some of the biggest names in business call upon her for marketing assistance like Mark Victor Hansen, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul, Robert Allen, author of Nothing Down and Multiple Streams of Income, Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and even Donald Trump!

But when she speaks at internet marketing conferences all over the world she communicates with such humility that people are drawn not only to her and her message but also to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She has made her mark in the secular arena being a bright light in a dark world and I have asked her to share her light with all of us so we in turn could light up the sphere we are called to work in. What you are about to read in this blog is just a tiny sample of what she will be sharing next Tuesday, July 1st at 9:00 PM EDT. If you have ever wanted to have access to top level internet marketer who also has a love for Jesus Christ, be sure to set an hour aside next Tuesday evening. Now, here’s Debra…

How To Make Sure Your Business FAILS! (Part 3 of 3)

Hi welcome back to my mini-training on “How To Make Sure Your Business Fails.” If you haven’t read my posts from Monday and Tuesday, go back and do that now because they lay the foundation for this next bit of key information I want to share with you and that is building your Marketing Funnel through Information Marketing. This is how to keep your marketing continuous while building a relationship with your customer and so they come back for more and more.

Your greatest opportunity to ensure your business does not fail and instead it succeeds… is to generate other opportunities for your customer to buy from you. The easiest way to do that is with Information Marketing.

First let me define what Information Marketing is…

Information Marketing is all about publishing your ideas, knowledge and information and selling it in the form of information products. You turn your ideas into Wealth… and let me tell you there is a lot of money you can make in Information Marketing.

Did you know that last year 145 Million people spent over $108 BILLION DOLLARS Online! Where did all that money go? To Information Marketing. You see I don’t care what your business is… whether you sell products or services. When it comes to the Internet it is all first Information. From there you sell to your target market.

Types of Information Products…

One of the greatest opportunities you have right now is to make money with information you know by providing solutions… more solutions for your customers. There are all types of solutions and they can be provided in a variety of different deliver methods. I call them Clicks and Bricks. Here let me briefly show you an example of what you could provide to your customers…

Imagine training your customers and taking them to the next level with your information!

Whether you are in business and want to accelerate your revenue by adding information products… or you want to build an Information Marketing business as another revenue stream… then I invite you to attend my webinar on July 1, 2008 at 9:00 PM EDT. All the details will be sent out to you shortly so be on the look out. I’ve got so much to teach you about this amazing business and how you can make a ton of money. Be sure to have a pen and paper ready when I teach… because I will be teaching you some key marketing principles from my BULLSEYE Marketing Accelerator System. I’m looking forward to teaching you and helping you to make a difference on Tuesday, July 1st!

Watch this space for registration information very soon!

Have you heard of Mark Victor Hansen, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul? How about Robert Allen, author of Nothing Down and Multiple Streams of Income… maybe even Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad… okay come on here… One more: how about Donald Trump, you know that real estate guru? Well.. what do these folks all have in common? It is our guest Debra Thompson Roedl! She has either worked behind the scenes on the inside circle for these millionaires or she has positioned her clients to work with them. Either way the results speak for themselves and that is what you should pay close attention to. Because you see… the information that Debra shared in her post yesterday and is continuing today is exactly what she does for these millionaires to take them to the next level.

Let me break this System down here for you briefly…

Step 1 - READY… Plan: You see to be successful in your business you must get “Ready” first… meaning you must PLAN.  And, I’m not talking about just any type of planning… what I’m referring to is STRATEGIC PLANNING.

If You Fail To Plan… You Are Planning To Fail!

It amazes me to this day when I am brought on board to help someone with their business how they have neglected to perform this one key step… It begs the question, “If you don’t have a plan and know what you are shooting for… how are you going to know if you hit your target?”

Step 2 - AIM… Research: It is not enough to strategically plan your business you must research your target market and niche to determine the answer to two key questions:

1. Is It A Viable Market? Meaning can you make money in it?… is there too much competition?… is there an opportunity for you?… can you differentiate yourself in the market?… etc.
2. What Is The Need? Before you go into any market, you first determine what is the greatest need in the market place… what do the people NEED?  In business it is your job to fulfill the needs of your market.  It is not what YOU want… it is what THEY want.

Step 3 - FIRE… Produce: Based upon foundation you built in Steps 1 and 2, now you can start building your business and produce the SOLUTION for your market’s needs.  Your solutions could come in the form of products, services, information, trainings, etc.

Step 4 - BULLSEYE! It is easier and more cost effective to sell a solution now to someone in need than to create a problem, convince someone it is a problem and then try to fix it with your products and/or services.  When you provide YOUR Solution (your product and/or service) you will hit the bullseye of your target market and make sales.   More sales = more money in your pocket.

BOTTOMLINE: Marketing is the key to success and making money in your business.  If you want to hear more about my System and how it can take you to the next level… even how you can use it to generate additional streams of revenue for your business, then I invite you to listen in on a special webinar training that Michael has graciously invited me to teach to you.

OK folks, mark your calendar right now: the webinar with Debra is going to be next Tuesday, July 1st at 9:00 PM EDT. More details on the training will be provided to you as we get closer. I’ll tell you this right now, though: it will be presented absolutely FREE. Watch your inbox for updates. In the meantime, don’t miss tomorrow’s message from Deb, as she goes into your Marketing Funnel and how to build a relationship with your customer so they buy from you time and time again.

My fellow marketplace warriors…
Here is the invitation I promised you to join me for a meeting this week.  If you’ve been with us for a while, you’ll recall that we held a meeting with David (whose marketing thoughts you’ve probably been reading recently) just a few months ago and had an overwhelming response.

If you’re a newer subscriber, you may not yet be aware that our mission is to help believers worldwide build successful businesses so they can in turn (with their profits and influence) make a significant and lasting impact on the culture within which we live. How you make that difference is up to you. Helping you succeed in that calling is our privilege and our mission.

20-Fold Increase…
Recently, I was evaluating some statistical information related to our business.  It seems like it wasn’t all that long ago (in fact, it was just a couple of years ago) that I was getting excited about the 1,000 or 2,000 visitors coming to our website every month.  When I saw the more recent information, I found out that we’re averaging 10,000 visitors to our site every single week!  This has been due, in large part, to the efforts of David Johnson from Epiphany Marketing, who we retained just over a year ago to help us expand our reach.

Even more than multiplying the number of visitors, what has excited me is when I found out why they’re finding us… David showed me how to view the terms that people are typing into search engines like Google in order to find us.  Wow!  It’s amazing how well-targeted the results are.  We are connecting more than ever with the people who need what we have to offer.

David wants to share information with you…
…about how you can experience similar results.  And, more importantly, how to apply timeless marketing strategy to every facet of your business so that you’re best prepared to create relationships with the people you are reaching out to.  In fact, David would also like to introduce some of the people he’s been training for the last couple of months so you can hear directly from them about what they’ve been learning.

David and I have set aside several time slots Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to discuss specific strategies to help you experience similar results. This is not for everyone, but if you want to grow your business using 21st-century strategies, you are welcome to join us. Register here now so you can be sure to reserve your spot on one of these conference calls. (As always, we are limited on the number of callers we can have on each conference call, so it’s a first-come, first-served basis.)

Warmest regards…

Michael Q. Pink

P.S. I know you probably checked your calendar previously, but I urge you to choose your best meeting time now… these calls will fill up quickly!

My fellow marketplace warriors…
I want to invite a few of you to a special conference call at the end of this week. Let me tell you why and then please let me know if you can make it. As you may know, our mission is to help believers worldwide build successful businesses so they can in turn (with their profits and influence) make a significant and lasting impact on the culture within which we live. How you make that difference is up to you. Helping you succeed in that calling is our privilege and our mission.

A mere 18 months ago…
Our business was dependent on me going out somewhere in the world and doing consulting or training. Product sales were minimal and not much of a focus. The revenues generated through our website were limited to five or six hundred dollars per month. Insignificant. I began applying some of the rainforest lessons to business and it grew substantially. Then we retained on a consulting basis, David Johnson of Epiphany Consulting to really help us establish a long term, reliably growing stream of income using the internet.

Last quarter what used to be less than a couple thousand dollars per quarter, was over $100,000 using the internet. That’s 50-fold increase! Our ranking on search engines has also improved significantly, our number of e-mail subscribers has more than doubled, and many good things are occurring. I know there are many of you who could benefit from his knowledge so I asked him last week if he would be willing to get on a conference call with me and share some of his wisdom and experience with you. He agreed with one stipulation…

He wants to focus his input…
…on folks who have an established business or who are responsible for generating leads or demand for an established enterprise. For example, one of his clients is a specialist in the medical profession who got virtually no business off his website and was skeptical that people would come to him via the internet. But… he was wasting money on ineffective advertising and he knew it. About a year later, over 50% of his patients find him from the internet, due to the help David was able to provide.

David and I have set aside several time slots this Thursday and Friday to discuss specific strategies to help you experience similar results. This is not for everyone, but if you want to grow your business using 21st-century strategies, you are welcome to join us. Register here now so you can be sure to reserve your spot on one of these conference calls. (As always, we are limited on the number of callers we can have on each conference call, so it’s a first-come, first-served basis.)

Warmest regards…
