Info Renegades Are Coming to Town

One of the great things about working with JT Foxx is that I get to meet his mentors and coaches.  Two of the people that he pays to coach him are coming to Charlotte December 16-18.  I am very excited to attend their three day class (If you want know how to attend for FREE use my link NOW!).

I first met Jeff Vacek and Ken Pruess when I was in LA meeting with JT Foxx and Bruce Buffer (see the video I made with Bruce). Jeff and Ken had recently agreed to coach JT on how to develop the internet side of his business.

I was standing in the back of the room waiting for their event to begin and hoping to catch some of it between sessions with Bruce and JT.  Because I listen to my coach, JT, I was dressed in a nice suit. Several people asked me if I was one of the presenters.  I was flattered, but had to tell them "No."  When Jeff and Ken came in and saw me dressed so nicely they introduced themselves and we chatted for a few minutes.  Then, they asked me to introduce them to the crowd.

I would love to say that I rocked the house with my intro, but frankly I think it was pretty weak.  I was Soooo unprepared and caught off guard by their request.  When the come to Charlotte, I hope to get a second chance to introduce them and if I do get the chance I will do a much better job this time.

Since then, I have met with them on a number of occasions and been able to learn from them.  Here is some of what they will be teaching when they come to Charlotte later this month.

	Exactly How To Choose an Online Market That is GUARANTEED To Be Massively Profitable To Your Bank Account
	The Absolute EASIEST and Cheapest Way To Build an Online Product That Your Market Will Pay TOP Dollar For - Plus You Need ZERO Tech Skills To Make It Happen
	The TOP Online Information Model That Has Collectively Generated Multiple 7 Figures in Revenue For Us Over The Past Six Years (We Only Teach This To Our Highest-Paying Private Clients - But You'll Get The Entire Blueprint)
	How To Get The Most Successful Marketers In Your Market Literally Swarming To Promote Your Product To THEIR List - Also Known As "The Best Kept Secret" of Information Marketing A-Listers
	A Bullet-Proof Method For Building a 5-figure Monthly Info Business In Less Than a Few HoursPer Week
	The #1 SECRET For Building an Online Business That Feeds You Consistently Every Single Month - You'll Wish You Had Learned This LONG Ago

And much more!!

When these guys say they will teach you everything you need to know, they aren't kidding.  This three day class will give you everything you need to start or improve your online business.  The class usually costs $2,997.  However, they are letting me reach out to folks who know me to give you the chance to attend for FREE.  But, you have to act NOW.  The event in nearly sold out and when that happens, I can't give away any more freebies. 

How FREE is FREE?  Well, you do have to pay a $100 fee up front to reserve your seat.  BUT YOU GET  IT BACK - when you show up.  Seriously!

If you use MY LINK NOW!  You can sign up for a $3k class with just a $100 commitment, that comes back to you when you show up.

If you think that is a trick, it isn't.  It costs them money to host an event like this.  It costs them for every chair in the room and for every cup of water at the back of the room.  I know, I have booked events like this myself and the hotels charge for everything they provide.  And, that isn't counting the materials that Jeff and Ken provide - which also cost them money.  So, if they have the hotel set up a chair for you, it cost them.  If they bring materials for you, it cost them.  But they are happy to do it if you will just show up and make it worth their time.

I have enjoyed their materials and am using them to build my own business.  They really work and they really tell you everything you need to know.  At times, when Jeff is going step by step over something I am familiar with already I find myself wanting to say "Yeah Jeff, lets just skip ahead to the parts I don't know"  and then he throws in something I didn't know.  Something other people wouldn't think to tell you.

For instance?  "You can use service A for free or you can use service B for $19.95 per month.  When you are getting started, you may want to use service A.  Then, when the money starts coming in, you can move over to service B.  And you will want to do that then because..."  you get the idea.

And Ken and Jeff really have a commitment to giving their students everything they deserve and more.  When Jeff taught us at Mega Partnering in Chicago last October JT cut him off before he could show us his last four slides.  He kept trying to get JT to let him show us those last four slides the rest of the event.  And that was after he had already given us more than an hour of really great content.

If you have a limited budget for training but want to expand your knowledge of how to leverage the internet, this event is for YOU!  How much cheaper can you get training than FREE!  And, if you live in Charlotte like I do, you don't even have to get a hotel room.  How GREAT is that?!

However, there are only a handful of spots available.  That means if you want to attend the event and only pay the $100 deposit instead of the normal $3000.00 training fee, then you literally need to sign up immediately or else it will be sold out. CLICK HERE

I know that this post has seemed more like a sales pitch than an article, but the reality is that I am super-excited that Ken and Jeff are coming here and I want everyone I know who can take advantage of this to do so.  It is going to be well worth your time and effort, and if you use MY LINK, you can attend for FREE.

As always, I will put in a plug for myself here in my column.  If you want to be added to my regular mailing list and get updates on events like this and other valuable information I reserve for my closest friends, then you can use the sign up below.

Thanks for Being a Good Friend to me.  Let me Give something back to you!

What Gene Simmons of KISS Taught Me About Business

You might be surprised at what you can learn about business from a guy who wore more makeup and bigger high heels than his mommy.

Pictured below, left to right, are JT Foxx, Gene Simmons and Thomas K Sheppard.  This picture was taken February 12, 2011 at Mega Partnering 2011 in Los Angeles, California.

June 10 through 13 of February 2011 I attended the JT Foxx Mega Partnering event in Los Angeles.  If you have ever attended a celebrity business event, they are typified by headline speakers punctuated by 90 minutes pitches for programs that promise you wealth and happiness, each easier than the programs touted before.  That is NOT what happens at these JT Foxx events, especially the Mega Partnering brand he has built.  In these events you get a collection of powerful, unarguably successful speakers who teach you their secrets to living the life they want.  They don't pitch you on products to make you happy, healthy, and wealthy.

The event this February (JT holds two of these each year), featured Gene Simmons, the legendary rock star from KISS and the star of Family Jewels (yes his wife Shannon Tweed of Playboy fame did make an appearance).

I openly confess here that when JT told me he was going to get Gene to headline this event, I asked him why?  I really couldn't imagine what I could learn from a guy who made himself famous wearing more makeup and taller heels than his mother while puking up blood and sticking out his tongue.  In case you don't release it, most rock stars end up broke and destroyed almost as soon as the passion of their fans for their music fades away.  So, when JT told me that Gene Simmons has a worth in excess of $700 million and is considered a branding genius and a formidable businessman, I was intrigued.

I was not disappointed.

Gene Simmons is more than just a guy with a long tongue.  Although I cannot tell you all that he taught us over the course of about two hours, because I would probably get a call from his lawyers, I can share a couple of nuggets that I took away from his conversation with us.  Yes, it was a conversation.  He came down off the stage, mic in hand and walked up and down through the audience asking pointed questions and challenging our thinking.  He pulled up several different members of the audience and on the spot taught them how to brand themselves and their businesses - a quick consultation that would have cost them at least $100,000 if they had approached Gene and asked for a consultation.

In case you didn't realize it, Gene is an immigrant to America.  His mother was Hungarian, a holocaust survivor and he was born in Israel.  Did you know that immigrants to the US are 4 times more likely to become millionaires than native born Americans?

Here are some nuggets he shared:

• You cannot fail in this country.  You can rack it up and then go broke, declare bankruptcy and then start all over.
• Don't rely on just one business for your money, build several.
• Learn to speak English with a mid-Atlantic American accent - that is what you hear from the new folks on TV and the most successful people in the world.  American English is the speaking pattern and accent of success in the US.  English is the language of money.  Although learning Mandarin (not Cantonese) is a pretty good idea right now.
• Use trademark laws to protect your brands and use lawyers to enforce your trademark rights, or you will lose them both - by law.
• Operate your business like a Navy Seal.  Come in below the RADAR.  Minimize your exposure by having a lean and mean operation.
• Educate yourself, don't rely on the drivel that passes for education in our schools.  Go to the library and take advantage of the best free education in the world, reading library books.  And now we can get a lot of that over the internet too.
• Be nice to rich people because a poor person never gives you a job.
• Be a rock stat - walk into the room and own it.

Although I could go on with what he taught and fill up several entries in this blog, I will leave it at this, feeling it is sufficient to illustrate my point.  I am glad that JT Foxx had the good judgment to look beyond the comic book image of KISS to bring to his friends and students the knowledge and influence of a business and branding powerhouse like Gene Simmons.

Likewise, I am glad I had the good sense to trust JT and not turn up my nose at the prospect of expecting to learn some serious business from someone who wore bigger high heels and more makeup than his mommy.

ON THE PERSONAL SIDE - Gene asked if anyone there spoke Spanish.  I raised my hand and he asked me to translate how his Puerto Rican students greeted him each morning when he was a school teacher.  Although I was able to translate it, I couldn't bring myself to translate that without being prepared to fight to the death.  I later determined a tactful way to convey it which I include here and leave to you to struggle through my deliberate obfuscation to get to the reality of what they said.  Here is my sanitized translation, "Hello my odoriferous Jewish friend who mates with boys. I want you to know that I really enjoyed getting to know your mother, in a very Biblical way."  Yes, that IS cleaned up. Sorry Gene, I hope I didn't ruin the effect you were after.
