Look at what some others said about the event last night:

"This is the best training I could have asked for. what an amazing insight into what I must pay attention to and coach myself to become. Thank you so much for opening my eyes and my mind to a way of changing myself." – Sherry Prince

"She is not just beautiful but very influential and tells it as is, I salute your genuine and true being!"  Randa Kassisieh

"This was very good. I appreciate the great tips. I especially liked the parts about the different types of listening. The 3 models exactly explain some of the challenges I've had. I'm doing sympathetic listening--not empathic. thank you."   - Rymut, Julia

Did You Miss Ellie Drake?

If you missed the call we DID record it and will have it posted at the Renegade Professional back office shortly.

We'll send out an email once it's there!  Phenomenal call. See below for more about it.  People from all over the world wrote in afterward and said it had truly impacted them permanently.  I'm not surprised!

Don't Miss This Call Tonight!

* This call was recorded and will be posted shortly at the Renegade Professional back office.

This is a reminder that Dr. Ellie Drake will be available for you this evening, Thursday, at 6 pm PT (9 pm ET) on tonight's Webinar. 

 

This is one you definitely don't want to miss.

 

If you haven't already done so, reserve your seat now because its likely to get packed. 

 

Over 800 people have already registered and its still early in the day.   I see an increase in the number of registrants each time I check. 

 

These events can only hold up to 1000 people.  So after you register it would be a great idea to call in a little early this evening to make sure you can get on.

I really want you to be here because I know that for many of you, developing your coaching skills is by far the most important thing you could do to boost your success in your marketing, day to day decisions, and on the telephone. 

 

And yet, at the same time, I know that coaching skills is the last priority on many of your minds just as it was for me before I met Ellie Drake in 2005. 

 

Once I met Ellie and started developing these skills at this level, everything changed. 

 

What Did I Learn Exactly? 

 

What Changed?

 

I learned how to listen to people and respond correctly--to listen and respond properly to individuals and also entire groups through my marketing. 

 

I also learned how to listen to myself (my intuition at a gut level) and how to make a lot better business decisions because of it.

 

It was just after that coaching with Ellie that I 'found' attraction marketing and social media lead generation.  By applying the coaching insight I learned from her into my marketing, prospecting calls and business decisions, I started generating thousands of leads and then teaching others how to do it too.

 

I became known around the industry as 'the attractive marketer.'

 

I even attracted Ann Sieg as a business partner and Mike Dillard into collaborations.

 

I attracted a 7 figure income to my company.

 

The Problem I'm Seeing For Most People Out There...

 

What I've noticed is that many people are trying to generate leads without an inkling of an idea about how you influence people--because they don't know how to connect with people. 

 

They don't know how to "listen to" and then properly respond to people's needs. 

 

That's why most marketers just don't know what people want at an intuitive level. 

 

If you don't know what people want, you can't market effectively. 

 

There's definitely something about Ellie...

 

There's something about connecting with Ellie on a Live call that can have an unusual impact on you--I hope you can make it.

 

Register to visit Dr. Ellie Drake tonight to hear another perspective on the POWER of developing these coaching skills.  And as I said, call in early.

What About Your Personal Life?

We've been discussing the significance of developing your Coaching skills (communication, how you relate to others, your leadership and influence) and how this impacts your income level more than anything else you do.

 
But What About Your Personal Life?

 

Can coaching skills really make a difference in your relationships with...

 

Your spouse or "significant other"?

 

Your kids?

 

Your parents?

 

Your Friends?

 

People you meet throughout your day?

 

I think Adrian Schleis summed this up well. 

 

Click the link below to hear Adrian and his son describe how just ONE class with Barbara helped him to...

 

"See His Family Through Different Eyes"

 

And how that's impacted him.

 

Coaching Skills Take A Load Off...

 

Think how valuable it would be if you were better understood... and if you could understand others and have them feel more understood by you.  With ease.

 

How much weight could be lifted if your spouse or significant other got what you were doing in your business better.  Or, if you had more tools (communication skills) that got the kids to work with you, rather than against you--only adding to the overwhelm.

 

This is a BIG deal.

P.S. If you're not with Renegade Professional.  Get in here.  Our community training covers ALL the bases, leaving no stone left unturned.

 

In our next email we'll share more details about what exactly will be covered in this six month course series, when class starts and how you can join us.

 

 

What Renegade Professional "Beginners" Should Be Thinking About Right Now

If you're new to Renegade Professional you have a lot on your mind.

 

That's because you have a lot to do. 

 

You're about to go from where you are now to where you want to be. 

 

And that's no small feat.  

 

Along the way your success is at risk.

 

You might "give in" to the most common success killer I've witnessed--

 

Distraction.

 

Don't.

 

I've watched even our best students give in to it.  But they returned and prevailed.

 

I've seen others give in to it... never to return.  Wandering through the wilderness, into some other direction that probably sounded easier or felt more comfortable at first (but just ended up making life more difficult, and success 'seem' even further and further away).

 

Realize--

 

If you don't complete your training OF COURSE you can't make the same business transformations as our students who HAVE completed their training.

 

So do that. 

 

Finish it.  

 

Follow through.

 

Resist the same urge that has caused you to miss opportunities in the past; that caused you to be limited in your options; limited in your pay.

 

Advance yourself once and for all by resisting the urge to be mediocre. 

 

At first we teach you the tools.  How to get yourself out there online.  And how the principles of attracting leads works in reality...

 

But our community offers much more than that.  And after JUST a few months or less you will be past that stage of just getting online and having a web presence.

 

You may need to learn how to influence people.  You may need to increase your value.

 

Take advantage of ALL we have to offer because there's a reason we offer it if its here. 

 

Marketing is just a piece of your process.  You have to develop all of your essential list to see your business come to life. 

 

Yes, marketing is on that "essential list". 

 

But there are a several other KEY 'essential' pieces as well--all of which we help you tackle head on in this community if you just reach out and grab it.

 

Overwhelm and Losing Focus...

 

(Is the grass 'really' greener on the other side?)

(Is this 'really' THAT difficult?)

 

Are you resisting success because you just don't 'see' how close you are?

 

In the 'Start Here' check list of your back office we address the issue of 'overwhelm' directly, almost immediately BEFORE you even started your training.

 

It is called: 

 

"An in-depth look at how to "customize" and "personalize" your training plan and business development."

 

This class gets you prepared to start thinking about taking control of where you put your focus based on where you're at now and where YOU want to go next in your business (this is part of developing the 'finer distinctions' and keener insight I mentioned on the essential list recently).

 

Hopefully you watched "An in-depth look at how to "customize" and "personalize" your training plan and business development." 

 

Maybe you need to watch it again.

 

Take your time.  Because what you feel inside is even more important than what's happening outside.

 

Relax a bit more. 

 

Reflect a bit more. 

 

Trust this process a bit more.

 

Inner turmoil and a sense of "lack" (not having what you want fast enough) leads to self doubt and self destruction:

 

Lack of focus, lack of follow through, feelings of overwhelm, or just plain frustration are all factors in leading someone to DISTRACTION and failure.

 

It takes trust to see a process through. 

 

I feel partly responsible for helping you obtain the trust needed in Renegade Professional so that you move forward with the training and ultimately prevail in business without all the painstaking mistakes I had to undergo. 

 

That's why I'm writing you today.  You suddenly popped in my mind again.  I felt concerned.

 

Maybe you just need to hear that you CAN do this. 

 

You CAN if and only if you follow through.

 

What Makes Succeeding Students Different Than Those Who Get Distracted?

 

People who move forward through the training are growing into leaders faster than any other community I've seen. 

 

What made them different? 

 

I have noticed that they were more motivated to succeed than most--I know some of their reasons because I've gotten to know some of these students who have grown... their reasons are personal.  And powerful.

 

Get in touch with your 'reasons' and you will find the energy and focus required to move forward and win.

 

Learning the mechanics...

 

Again, the first step is to learn the tools (the mechanics) of the Internet. 

 

The tutorials take you click by click through the various places where you do that. 

 

Get a Coach

 

When you need help we have coaches ready to help you who have been where you are now.

 

Most of these coaches offer a free 15 minute consultation before you decide if you'd like to hire them to help you get over bumps along the way.  Many charge as low as $25/hour.  The more experienced a coach the more they charge.  Find a coach that's right for you to connect with from time to time.  If they can't help you with a really specific issue they can refer you to other coaches who can.

 

Connect with Barbara Silva, our coach of coaches at support@marketingmerge.com with the subject:  Find Me A Coach

 

Beyond the Tools...

 

Ultimately, once you've mastered the tools (which took me a few months and others less or more)... its time to gain influence.

 

Influence is, by far, the most valuable asset you can obtain. 

 

For influence you need exposure (standing out), you need confidence, skills and something unique or valuable to offer others, which is what attracts them to you.

 

We have developed a number of ways for you to collaborate with us to develop your Influence. 

 

You've likely heard of these programs.

 

One of these is the Super Guides program, where you work closely with a team of other 'more highly' committed students and collaborate on projects that develop your "Influence Factor" and skills faster than you could ever do alone.

 

Another is becoming a Coach with Coaching Cognition, which you've likely been hearing a lot about lately (and will be hearing more about).  If you don't want to wait until next year to take advantage of this particular opportunity, follow our emails over the next week closely as we share more details about the program.  We'll be opening class for this soon.  

There is also the opportunity to become a PBN Trainer, giving you significant ongoing exposure within our community and in future lead funnels that would lead people to your tutorials, which we teach you how to create once you qualify.  There's no cost to this--just your contribution.  So check it out.

 

These are just some of the ways you can develop you Influence factor with us. 

 

Marketing is important but it is motionless without influence and communication skills.

Its key to success to master these no matter what opportunity you're in or what system you use, so I REALLY hope you've made this a top area of focus.

 

If you've moved along through the tutorials and have set up some of the marketing basics (like a blog or site, social sites like Squidoo, you've started some SEO, maybe dabbled in PPC)--it may be time to connect up with a qualified coach right now to get you to that next level.

 

I would have NEVER grown my business and don't know anyone else who could have succeeded without connecting with real people along the way for help.  I paid tens of thousands of dollars (when I didn't have it) connecting with coaches who offered less in value than you have access to here for a fraction of a fraction of the cost I paid.

 

Know the value is here.  Reach out for it.  It'll pull you up.

 

Partners in success,

Mike Klingler

 

P.S.  I suggest you find a coach (or coaches) to help you over the bumps along the way.  Contact support@marketingmerge.com with the subject:  "Find Me a Coach"

 

P.P.S.  Are you ready for the truth about what you can exactly do to succeed in your business?  The easiest, more effortless way?  If you read this email in its entirely and the links it connect to and you still don't know exactly what to do, read it again.

Log into Renegade Professional and if you've lost your way, begin at the Start Here Checklist.  Take your time.  Relax.  Take comfort in forward motion. 

Not with Renegade Professional?  Get back in here

How Much You Make Is Directly Tied To This...

Did you know that the extent of VALUE you offer in your communication to prospects and clients is proportionate to how much you make?

 

Same is true in your JOB... However you make your money, your communication skills SIGNIFICANTLY impact what you earn.  Improving your communication is the fastest way to better opportunities and increased pay.

 

Uh Oh...

Probably not what you wanted to hear.

 

I AM sorry if this bursts your bubble...

 

But you might be looking for answers about how to make more moolah' (or obtain more success in your work or business) in all the wrong places.

 

And perhaps you're thinking that a system or opportunity is the solution when what you're actually lacking is good communication.

This isn't a problem that's going to go away until you step up and meet the challenge head on.

------------------------------------------

Who Is Teaching These Skills?

------------------------------------------

 

Regardless of how you generate leads...

 

Whether you build a marketing funnel to generate your own leads, work a referrals list, use Google Adwords (PPC), a blog, a website, SEO, social media or you cold call leads (hope not)--there comes a point where you must know how to effectively communicate or you limit yourself and depending on how little you know about effective communication, it could stop any level of real success from happening at all.

 

If you're good at marketing but bad at communicating, you likely make 10% of what you could with the same number of leads. 

 

Ouch.

 

Coaching skills are effective communication--they give you the ability to lead and influence people. 

 

Confidently.

 

Competently.

 

Learning coaching skills doesn't have to be difficult... it just has to be one of your main focuses. 

 

Doing so is one of the few shortcuts available to success. 

We'll soon be allowing students to learn these skills with Barbara Silva's Coaching Cognition. 

 

I encourage you to take this opportunity to learn in months what took me years because I was on my own alone. With Barbara and Coaching Cognition you'll be in a safe place to accelerate your learning.

 

There's another aspect to this that can really make a difference for you...

 

Students of Coaching Cognition will have an opportunity to be featured ongoing at our Coaching platform--where we direct PAYING clients to you and manage all the details (we have a lot of people in need of qualified coaches and regardless of what you think now, YOU likely have the ability to be one). 

 

For many this will be a full-time income as a coach. 

 

Others will do it here and there to make ends meet, build confidence, while enjoying assisting others, and building their dream in their current business.

 

An entirely new world opens up to you when you become a coach with Coaching Cognition.

 

In case you missed it, hear from Curt Johnson about Coaching Cognition.  He's Ann Sieg's upline and was her coach at one time.

 

Curt's been a coach for years so his recommendation and participation in Coaching Cognition speaks volumes to what it can mean for you.

 

Here are two others I'd like you to hear from in case you missed them.

 

Eric Walker on Coaching Cognition

 

Claire Covington on Coaching Cognition

 

 

Here are more people you can hear from about their 'take' on Coaching Cognition... notice how authentic they are. 

 

Notice how 'salesy' they are NOT.

 

Click and scroll down the page to watch and listen. 

 

Really watch them.

 

Read between the lines--these are real people who have quickly gone from where most people start... where you likely are now...  to owning VALUABLE coaching skills.

 

You CAN do this.

 

We'll have more details for you about how to join this exclusive 6 month class program.  Watch closely.  We'll be open for only a short time in early October.  The date isn't set.  I'll share what I know as I know it!

 

If you missed my article on The Only Shortcut That Exists I highly recommend it.  It talks about developing your essential list of skills to avoid the mistake I made in my first 14 years in business.

Becoming A Paid Coach, Or Maybe... Just An Amazingly Valuable & Influential Person

When I was in a networking business I did a TON of prospecting on the telephone.

 

I had to deal with a lot of prospects who were VERY challenging to work with. 

 

I remember my early years--

 

Talk about frustration!

 

Many of them had no money.

 

Others had unrealistic expectations.

 

Some were just down right depressed. 

 

Others hostile. 

 

Some would talk and talk and talk...

Some were distracted.

 

Some were really kind people but totally feared change.

 

Others only needed a nudge. For me to ask one good question that ended up leading them forward THANKING me for the dramatic impact it had on them it.  Wow.

 

I learned the hard way--and the long way--how to positively influence people; how to change the way they think about things by helping them discover the answers for themselves.

 

As you know, with Barbara Silva's Coaching Cognition training soon opening up, you'll be able to learn these skills head on, in a safe environment and quickly. 

 

Instead of it taking years it can be learned in months.

 

These skills will assist you in nearly every interaction you have (in your business AND personal life).

 

They'll assist you in understanding people in general (helping you in all forms of communication, including emails and copy), and how to lead people to action (key).

 

They'll assist you in your confidence, competence and how your marketing comes across.

 

Obviously, they will assist you in succeeding by addressing the "essential list" we've talked about over these last two weeks.

 

A Safe Environment To Learn To Lead

 

Just one of the valuable aspects of Coaching Cognition is live role playing. 

 

You'll have lots of opportunities to participate in the LIVE role playing--

 

This alone can be life-changing... because it's where you learn some of the 'finer distinctions' (AKA, developing a "keen insight"--the first item on the 'essential list').

 

It may sound scary at first; but in this environment it's actually quite safe and fun--no one is ever put on the spot.  

 

Role playing is an extremely important part of learning at a fast pace.  Because it gives a type of "accelerated experience." 

 

Here's why it's accelerated...

 

The Impact of a "Real Life" Role Playing Session

 

When role playing, one "coach in training" will pretend to be a challenging prospect or client.  The other 'coach in training' will pretend to be the Coach. 

 

Interactive discussions among the students and Barbara help the Coaches pinpoint key moments in the conversation where it could move forward, or fall flat.

 

Ever had a conversation with a prospect or client fall flat or go south when you wanted it to go north?

 

Imagine holding a compass that you could use during any given conversation and always knowing where north is (moving toward their goals positively).

 

And whenever your prospect or client goes the wrong direction you're able to ask a question to get them to realize ON THEIR OWN how to correct course so they can achieve what it is they want faster.

 

You'll have "Influence" with such a skill.

 

Through role playing with Barbara and the other students, you'll learn to recognize patterns in conversation and what to do to build bridges that lead it forward constructively. 

 

The power comes by learning to recognize the patterns and 'own' the questions that definitively lead someone forward. 

 

One of the role playing sessions I listened to was between Eric Walker and Claire Covington--they were in the first Coaching Cognition training course offered by Barbara.

 

Here, Eric Walker role plays as the client and pretends to have just signed up in a new opportunity and has very "Unrealistic Expectations."

 

Claire Covington pretends to be the Coach.

 

They then discuss the pivotal moments in the conversation where it could go north or 'south' and this is when you pick up the skills.

You'll have access to the recordings of this very role playing session with Claire and Eric, along with many more from the first students who have now graduated from Coaching Cognition. 

 

AND, of course... you'll be able to have 'accelerated experience' of your own by partaking in the new LIVE sessions offered. 

 

In the next two emails, I'm going to answer these two questions

 

1. "What Does Coaching Have To Do With YOUR Business." (just in case that isn't clear yet)

2. "How Coaching Impacts Your Personal Life"

 

I'll soon share the details of what is completely covered in this highly in-depth six month course.

 

In case you missed it, watch what Claire has to say about her experience with the entire Coaching Cognition program.

 

Hear Eric Walker on Coaching Cognition

 

We'll be opening this to new students for a limited time in early October. 

 

After that, you'll have to wait until next year to become a coach with us again. 

 

So if you have interest in moving forward fast this year with Coaching, please pay close attention to our emails.

 

I'll share more details as I have them.

 

Partners in success,

"Keeping It Real" -- The Ultimate Success Story

Have you ever questioned yourself--or doubted yourself--about certain business decisions you've made along the way? 

 

I know I have.

 

This is how we figure stuff out.

 

It's how we discover who we 'really' are in business--

 

It's How You Discover Your Brand. 

 

Your brand is what you're selling (it's you).

 

It's the most valuable piece. 

 

Once you have it business gets easy.  And fun. 

 

And profitable.

 

But doubt--in and of itself--isn't enough to discover YOU in business.

 

It's just a part of it. 

 

In fact, doubt is destructive without TRUST.

 

And yet, "doubting" will serve you as long as you've included trust in the mix. 

 

This is when your power gets turned on.

 

Here I'm precisely describing how you end up:

 

- Loving what you do

- While the good money flows inward

- And the value you offer flows out

It's the ULTIMATE success story. 

 

It's the only success story. 

 

Can any of this be accomplished by just following a formula? 

 

Is there such thing as a marketing formula, or a proven system?

Here's my take:

 

Yes, there's a time and place for formulas and systems, but they are way overrated. 

 

Because they don't have a soul. 

 

Without soul you got nothin'.

 

Are you focused on formulas and a system, or are you focused on acquiring EACH of the soulful skills needed to succeed (click if you missed the 'essential list')?

 

Back to how I discovered my brand (to assist you in your journey of finding YOURS)...

"Doubt + Trust = Personal Discovery and Greater Levels of Ultimate Success"

 

--A Recent Bout With Doubt--

 

I did a leap recently in my own journey while thinking about how to introduce Coaching Cognition.  

 

My gut told me to avoid the time trap of doing a 'big launch.'

 

That would be a huge distraction for our team. 

 

And frankly, it's not a passion of mine to create a thorough launch sequence (though that has its place). 

 

My passion, at least for now, is building out the infrastructure for our growing community of entrepreneurs--landmark projects like Coaching Cognition.

 

As I thought about 'launch', I leaned toward keeping it simple--so simple it wouldn't even be noticed as a launch at all.  It would be more like an introduction.  I'd allow the 'marketing' to unfold on its own spontaneously. 

 

Of course we'd educate on why "coaching skills" are vital to one's success. 

 

For example, Barbara Silva, our coach of coaches, led two webinars this summer discussing the power of coaching skills; what it is and what its not; and how many new students will find their own way into business success for the first time as a paid coach with us. 

 

In my last email I talked about the 'essential list' everyone in business should be tackling head on -- that its the only shortcut that really exists.  That email highlights the value of coaching.

 

But emails like that weren't planned. They were spontaneous.

 

The email I'm writing now wasn't planned. 

 

And yet, in a sense, this is all part of the launch, or at least the introduction, of Coaching Cognition. 

 

It kind of just goes like this...

 

Because Coaching Cognition is our main focus right now... its naturally what occupies my mind... so it's naturally mentioned and referenced when I share teaching points (like in the last email) and connect with you in emails like today.

 

--Trusting Your Way--

 

I trusted that if we share some main points, the right people who are ready would join us without the need for fanfare, and once again a large group would make a transformational advancement in their businesses together.

 

But until very recently, I also had doubt in myself on this very thing I trusted...

 

"Maybe we do need a full blown launch plan for Coaching Cognition?"  

 

--Doubting--

 

We've done very well with our business.  And yet, we've never really focused a lot on the marketing. 

 

Could we do even better if we did? 

 

Are there people we haven't reached, who we could have helped, if we marketed more heavily?

 

I've often reflected about my 'way' of marketing, thinking it was my weakest point.

 

Most marketers teach to use 'launch formulas' or a full blown 'launch sequence' to REALLY get people's attention. 

 

These are calculated. 

 

A launch formula or sequence is a highly orchestrated sequence of well crafted emails, and/or reports and/or other planned steps to prepare your audience to buy something from you.

When implemented correctly they're extremely effective (at generating up front sales).

But I didn't want to do that.

 

It's odd for most online marketers when they hear things like this from me but, "I don't think about selling all that much." 

 

Instead, I focus on CONNECTING with people who really need what we offer but just don't know it yet, and then on effectively COMMUNICATING what we offer so they totally 'get' it. 

 

Before they even buy they're already light years ahead of where they were.  I shift their context by 'keeping it real'.  Rarely do I feel an urge for fanfare. 

 

Some may say I'm still selling--and yes, that's happening. 

 

But the difference is this:

 

I didn't produce these sales by focusing on a formula.  A system has never really been THE SOLUTION, no matter how hard I've tried to make that fly over the years.

 

Instead, as I discussed recently in the only real short cut that exists, I've focused on developing the skills needed (the essential list most avoid) that I believe everyone must hit head on if they want to end the struggle and move onto their own brand of ultimate success.

 

Once and for all.

 

But this is all stuff I figured out recently. 

 

Actually, I knew some of it all along and I trusted it.  But I also doubted myself throughout the process over the years... even up til now until a new level of clarity has hit.

 

It's now reached me at a higher level of clarity than ever... and thus my brand solidifies, business becomes even easier yet, and the sensation of Ultimate Success is heightened once more. 

 

The doubt along the way was healthy because it caused me to reflect. 

 

But it served me ONLY because I trusted myself at the same time... and found my own way to steer another direction (away form formulas, systems and promises) and toward "the essential list" and authenticity.

 

I notice that every successful person I've met, regardless of what they 'think' have done the same thing.  They'd be successful regardless of the system or formula they use, because they'll always choose the right one for THEM.  And they'll do more than that.  They've developed themselves through the essential list... either directly and quickly or by default through painstaking trial and error.  It has to happen one way or another.

 

"If Only I Knew Then What I Know Now..."

 

I've been through the "ringer" in business--and maybe that's why I continue to work  hard to get the  message across that Learning Coaching Skills IS the Fastest Shortcut to Success.

 

If you missed my recent article, "Finding The Only Shortcut in Business and Taking It" I encourage you to read it now.

 

I'd also like to introduce you to meet someone today who has grown significantly in developing her essential list with Barbara Silva's Coaching Cognition. 

 

Meet Claire Covington as she shares what Barbara Silva and Coaching Cognition has done for her. 

 

Listen carefully to what Claire shares because you'll notice something.

 

She's authentic. 

 

And that's the key!

Please listen carefully to Curt Johnson as well, knowing he's been a successful coach and businessman for years.  Curt was Ann Sieg's coach not so long ago before she discovered her own voice and brand.  He's also her upline!

 

Watch Curt Johnson on Coaching Cognition.

 

We'll begin registration for Coaching Cognition in early October.

I'll be sharing more details with you as I get them.

 

Partners in success,

Attention Coaching Cognition Coaches – How to Refer Your Clients so You Can Get Started Coaching!

Even though our coaching doors haven’t officially opened, I know that many of you are already receiving inquiries about coaching.  The first thing to do is to either have your clients ask about purchasing credits by emailing support or you can send them the following email yourself.  This is the same one they will receive from our support desk:

You may purchase coaching credits from your back office.  Soon you will have an icon on your main menu that will take you to the coaching pages, but for now, there will be a couple of extra steps involved.

Log in to Renegade Professional.  When you are on the main menu page, replace the url in your browser at the very top of the page with:

https://www.marketingmerge.com/Coaching/BuyCredits.aspx

You can then buy credits in increments of 100.  1 credit = $1.  The credit card you have on file with us will be charged.  You may keep these credits in your account for as long as you are a professional - they will not expire.

You may choose to spend your credits with one coach, or choose from different coaches and different topics.  Once you have purchased your credits, send an email to support and we will contact you to get you matched with a coach.  Again, in short order, this will be something you will be able to take care of yourself from your back office, but the information is still being loaded into the system, so we are still making the appointments manually. 

Coaches' fees depend on their level in our system.  Some coaches charge as little as 25 credits an hour, some more.  Most coaches offer a fifteen minute free consultation for new clients so that you can be sure there is a good fit between you.

Let us know your time zone, best number to call and what time of day is good to reach you.  If you have already chosen the coach you would like to work with, let us know that as well.  We will get you all set up as quickly as possible.

Any questions can be sent to support@marketingmerge.com with Coaching in the subject line. 

We look forward to serving you!

Have your client notify support when they have purchased their credits and that they would like to be coached by you.  Even though the programming is not yet complete, each client that you refer through Coaching Cognition will move you up in Levels.  Level 4 coaches can begin offering coaching packages which will be even more inviting to clients. 

We’ll be featuring coaches as they move up in levels on our blogs, in the Renegade News, and on the Coaching Cognition page itself.  You might want to ask your clients if they would like to be interviewed about their experience with you!  Please share your coaching stories with LeeAnn McVey by sending an email to support@marketingmerge.com with Coaching News in the subject line.  She will be putting together the articles to highlight your Coaching Cognition experiences.

You can also contact LeeAnn for updates as to your current Level, fee structure, reviews, etc.  This information will all be available to you in your back office soon, but LeeAnn is the go to person in the meantime.

 

Making Network Marketing & Home Based Business Work -- Finding the Only Shortcut & Taking It.

My baby daughter was there. 

 

I was there. 

 

If only I knew then, what I know now. 

 

But who hasn't said that before?

 

I remember my mentality back then... 

 

"I 'gotta' make this work."

And judging by my circumstances I was right.

 

It was an all-too familiar and uncomfortable condition for me in business back then. 

 

I hadn't yet learned about the only REAL shortcut that exists. 

 

I Chased Rainbows.

 

Little did I know that the pot of gold was in my own backyard.

 

What a stubborn one I can be.

 

That stubbornness has served me in one way at least (never, ever quite--right?)

 

But it has also cost me dearly, with a mentality that seemed to say--

 

"No, not me... I don't have to work on my listening and communication skills, or learn how to lead.  I'll find a much easier way to succeed than THAT."

 

If only I knew how hard that would be, trying to find the EASY way. 

 

Because...

 

Looking for the "Easy Way" is the Hardest Way of All.

 

And, you could say...

 

What Most People Think to be the "Hard Way" is Actually the "Easiest".

 

I read personal development books. 

 

I went to leadership trainings. 

 

But I never made it my #1 thing--not back then.  I just thought I did at the time.

 

There I was at 30 years old with my six-month old daughter in my lap.

 

Chasing the dream from home.

 

Barely making enough to make ends meet. 

 

I'd made more (much more) from home before that.  But then it had shriveled. 

 

I'd worked hard before... real hard. 

 

And then after burning out--after working like a mad-man from age 22 to 27 (chasing all the bogus shortcuts most people still chase), I "checked out" for about two years as soon as the income was high enough. 

 

--Burn Out--

 

I played catch-up on life. 

 

The color returned to my face. 

 

I smiled more without trying to.

 

I started a family.

 

I caught up on what I had been missing while 'building the dream.'

 

But then, after watching my income slide back down I found myself in familiar territory...

 

"I gotta make this thing work!"

 

So I was working feverishly again... and had been for a year since returning from world travels, reflection, and a bout with getting healthy and fit (I needed that after the previous 5-year intensive business effort).

But by this time "being fit" was on its decline right along with my income.  I  recall a regular 1 a.m. mad dash to Carl's Jr. or Taco Bell (this is not what I'd typically want on the menu); eating healthy's the last thing on one's mind when feeling overwhelmed.

I was really stressed out--working, working... Trying...  Sitting with my six month old daughter beside me, trying to find the 'shortcut' again.  Trying to live up to my 'big words' to family and friends, most of whom had forgotten I was a winner.

 

Trying to justify my commitment to succeed.

 

The Million Dollar Chapter Comes...

 

But within a year from that challenging time, I had figured a piece of it out (the marketing part) and I started attracting business in a BIG way... though I still hadn't learned how to keep it. I had to go through a very labor intensive learning process because I was still looking for shortcuts in all the wrong places.

By age 31, I had attracted over a million dollars to my new company within the first month of launch and had people joining my networking business before I even had time to make the first follow-up phone call.  That was 6 years ago.

 

It was nice, though there was still plenty of stumbling (as I was still learning what I'll share with you today).  

 

It was actually quite rough... but it WAS a great experience because it forced me to finally--eventually-- realize and take the only REAL shortcut that exists... the very thing I was avoiding the entire time because I thought it would be harder, when it was actually much, much easier.

 

If only I was getting emails like this.

 

Fast forward 6 years, I now head up a growing multi-million dollar enterprise.  Solid, stable, growing incredibly fast.  Enjoyable.  In alignment with my values and intentions. 

 

From struggle to now business bliss, I have learned and lived the only REAL short-cut there is, and how to get people to not just stand in line to join my business... and not just stay... but to duplicate in ways that extend far beyond what I  imagined possible.

 

Finding the REAL Short-Cut... And Taking It.

 

I have always looked for the shortcuts, which would have been great, if only I was looking in the right place. 

 

In my earlier years in business, I was constantly trying to use some new system to generate leads for me.  Or to 'qualify' them for me.  I even worked hard to create such systems.

 

Its not that there wasn't value in what I was doing, and in qualifying prospects and using systems to help--that IS a small part of the equation.  But this aspect of it is SECONDARY to what is most critical for one's success.

Here's the "Essential List" most avoid making their #1 priority in business:

Focus on Developing...

• A Keen insight
• An ability to influence others
• An ability to choose the right opportunities for you
• An ability to create and communicate value
• An ability to attract people to you through networking and marketing
• An ability to inspire others by truly connecting with them, by listening
• An ability to cultivate partnerships

You CAN develop these things rather quickly, but only if you make that your main aim.

 

The list is so alien when you're not ready. 

 

Its like hocus pocus.

 

It might even be scary. 

 

It makes success seem really far away.  But that's only if you're not ready to take responsibility for it.

 

The truth is that when you look at this essential list square in the face, that's when success gets close. 

 

That's when you're getting warmer.

 

Then, if you don't take your eyes off this list... that's when you get hot.   

 

Attractive Marketer Hot.

 

Doing so puts your butt on the shortcut... The only REAL shortcut you'll ever find.

 

I Wasn't Ready...

 

I wasn't ready to look until I had worked so hard for so long trying to bypass 'the list' of essentials, that I finally just stumbled into it here and there, over time... over a long period of painstaking time because I didn't know it was IT. 

 

I thought it was just "part" of it.  

 

Somehow I had exhausted everything else and I just decided to focus only on that list for a while... that was about 3 years ago.  

 

I buckled down on ONLY it.

 

I connected with the right coaching, training and people and developed my skills (the essential list) as QUICKLY AS I POSSIBLE COULD.

 

I did it because I had to.  I was exhausted.  It was that or admit failure.  And that's not me. 

 

This is where my stubbornness helped. 

 

And maybe its why I relate so well with the majority out there who struggle... because I was on that path with such intense determination for so long, avoiding the essential list just like most do.

 

My Point In All This?

 

My message to you is that it doesn't have to take you as long to find IT as it took me.

 

It took me a long time because I was stubborn in believing the B.S. because I wanted to believe it, just like many people reading this want to believe that a system is the answer.. and not you.  You don't want to follow through on this advice because you're like I was... you're where I was.

 

But some of you will move on it.  And that's who I'm talking to here.

 

Don't get me wrong...

 

The vehicles you use (the opportunities, systems, etc) ARE important obviously... but they are motionless without the list of essentials above. 

 

Like pushing a car uphill versus stepping on the gas and zipping down it.  That's what I'm taking about.  

 

I'm talking about finally being able to navigate yourself from where you are to where you want to be with absolute control, safety, comfort and EASE.  Every time with ANY system.

 

And...

 

I'm talking about accomplishing everything you want FASTER by making it your #1 intention to focus on the essential list.

 

Are you ready for that?

 

You are already addressing some of this if you're moving through the Start Here Checklist in your Renegade Professional back office.

 

But are you consciously addressing the entire list head on?

 

Is it your #1 aim?

 

There are 5 things we'll be introducing to you over the course of this fall and winter.  You've likely heard about some of them already.  Mysuggestion is to study what they offer you.

 

They are:

 

1. Coaching Cognition

2. The Live Event in January

3. Super Guides Training & Collaboration Program

4. PBN (Becoming a Trainer for the Professionals, Businesses and Non-profits section of Renegade Professional)

5. Renegade Professional News -- Pay close attention to the students who grow in this community. Connect with them.  Know them. 

 

Infuse yourself into the leadership here. 

 

First, see how others are developing their brand & gaining exposure by closely aligning with this open community... then follow in their footsteps. 

 

We're creating an ever-expanding economy here that you can take part in.  

 

Pay close attention to these 5 development opportunities over the coming weeks and months--each is designed to help you attack the "essential list" and take the only REAL shortcut there is.

 

Take a moment right now to learn a little more about each of those 5 collaborative opportunities by clicking on the links above.

 

Success doesn't have to be hard. 

 

But it will be if you don't take a very proactive stance to attack your essential list head on.

 

Here it is again:

 

You Must Have...

• A Keen Insight. 
• An ability to influence others
• An ability to choose the right opportunities for you
• An ability to create and communicate value
• An ability to attract people to you through networking and marketing
• An ability to cultivate partnerships

You have to initiate all this. 

 

It's all on you and it always will be.

 

But the people and assistance is here if you're ready for it.

In 2009, Coaching is consistently listed as not only one of the top recession-proof industries, but one that is still showing growth.

Awesome Interview with Ann Sieg and David Garfinkel

Copywriting is KEY to success & most people are ignoring this vital skillset.

Check out this interview with copywriting coach and expert David Garfinkel

http://budurl.com/dcr3

If someone offered...

If someone offered to give you $30 in exchange for every
dollar you gave them, would you do it?

How many dollars would you give them?

The odds of getting this kind of return on any real estate
or stock investment are about as good as winning the
lottery, but in the interview you’re about to hear, I’m
going to share with you how I managed to find a deal even
better than this.

Last year I handed David Garfinkel a check for $35,000 to
personally train three of my own team members for six
whole months.

Who is David Garfinkel and what could he possibly have
taught us that would be worth such a king’s ransom?

He’s considered by many people to be the world’s best
coach on teaching others how to create highly profitable
ads.

And not only that but how to do it FAST.

I have to admit though...

Skeptical isn’t even the word.

------------------------------------
WHEN WE STARTED WITH DAVID,
I WAS DOWNRIGHT *SCARED*
------------------------------------

After all, this WAS the single largest sum of money I had
ever voluntarily given to one person at a time.

But I knew the potential payoff could be huge.

Was it worth it?

Well, with David’s help we were able to put together a
marketing campaign that turned into one of those big online
“launches” you always hear about.

In fact, we didn’t realize it at the time, but after all the
dust had settled, it ended up being the biggest launch in
internet network marketing history!

We were able to generate over $1.1 million in sales in less
than 72 hours...

Which is more than 30 TIMES what I paid David to help train
our team – more than a 3,000% return on investment.

And that’s not even counting the residual six figures that
continue to come in every month...

Almost half a year later!

But that’s not even the most exciting part.

David’s renowned for his unusually powerful marketing
skills, but he’s even more well known for his ability to
teach these skills to beginners.

When we started our training with him, one of our team
members had never written more than a few emails in his
LIFE.

--------------------------------------------------
WITH DAVID’S HELP HE WAS ABLE TO ORCHESTRATE
ALMOST THE ENTIRE $1.1 MILLION DOLLAR SEQUENCE
--------------------------------------------------

And he now produces emails on a regular basis that continue
to generate five and six figures in a matter of days.

So I asked myself, if David could do this with three people...

What would happen if I had him train my ENTIRE team?

We got on the phone to talk about it and I recorded the
whole thing. You can “listen in” on it here:

http://renegadeproblog.com/wealthexperiment/

This conversation is almost TOO powerful (you’ll see what
I’m talking about in a minute). It brings new meaning to
the term “behind the scenes.”

You’ll find out the real story about how David took
three of our team members and turned them into genuine,
bona-fide marketing superstars...

How we’re doing it again (with even more people this
time)...

And how you can defy “the economy” and make more
money with your business just by following along.

In this interview David gives some simple “fill in
the blank” steps you can use to increase your sales
right now – without getting any more traffic to your
website.

-----------------------------------------------------
THESE ARE LITTLE ADJUSTMENTS YOU CAN MAKE TO YOUR
WEBSITES AND EMAILS TO GET HUGE BOOSTS IN PROFITS
-----------------------------------------------------

All you have to do is take action.

Once you turn ON these fast and easy to do
sales-generators, they keep growing your business
over and over again.

I recommend you get comfy and listen intently to the
entire call.

This interview is as much of a mental transformation
about the way money is made as it is about producing
short term results.

We get into some heavy-duty subjects like...

-Is sales EVIL?

-How does making money tie in with serving people?

-How you can apply our million dollar launch
strategies to your entire downline

-The most powerful form of copywriting EVER (hint: the
United States Government uses it)

-Plus, you’ll even get to hear David critique me!

The interview is absolutely free.

Go listen to it now, apply what you learn, and watch
your business transform for the better as a result.
http://renegadeproblog.com/wealthexperiment/

To Your Success,

Ann Sieg

P.S. – Our team of beginners was able to generate seven
figures in less than 3 days, but you don’t need to make
a million dollars to use the secrets that David teaches.

If you’d like to make an extra $1,000 – or even $500 a
month – this interview is perfect for you.

This is about making quick and tiny adjustments to your
marketing to start increasing the amount of money you make
right now in a matter of days (not weeks or months).

And then from there learning the foundational stuff you
need to know to keep your profits growing forever.

Here’s the link again:

http://renegadeproblog.com/wealthexperiment/

After you’re done listening, be sure to leave us a comment
on our blog too – there’s a link right below the interview!

P.P.S. – Ever since we posted one of David’s articles on
our blog, we’ve had a lot of people asking where they can
find more of his training.

In this interview you’ll also find out how you can sit in
on the closed-door training sessions that David is doing
with our own team.

This is as “behind the scenes” as it gets!

Truth Moment - Are You a "Newbie" or a "Smart Beginner?"

I was what they called a "Newbie." I had no experience making money online and no internet marketing experience whatsoever.

This is where almost all of us start...

And attraction marketing? What was that?

The first thing I thought was that it had something to do with The Secret, and some new age method of abundance that I’d have to read about in some Jack Canfield Chicken Soup for the Internet Marketer’s Soul book.

All I knew was that I had an urge like gravity to sink myself into this booming internet economy, and flex my entrepreneurial spirit so I could live a better life.

Sound familiar? If you’re with me, keep reading, an important point is to be made here. I’ll be blunt and direct, if you mess up here, you will fail before you even begin.

Doesn’t it seem there are a million and one tips and other pieces of advice on how to do this internet attraction marketing thing?

Everywhere I turn, I hear talk about blogs and websites, capture pages, building your list, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

It can be hard for someone to locate an ideal starting point when beginning from scratch.

Every successful person has had to start from scratch. Every successful business person has had to start the long journey at the foot of their mountain of dreams.

So I hear the word "newbie" tossed around quite a bit. That’s what we call these people.

It refers to someone who is absolutely new, and doesn't know much about anything with regard to marketing their brand, their company or their products on the internet.

But more and more, I'm noticing a subtle yet profound difference between what would normally be called a "Newbie" and what I'd like to now call "Smart Beginner."

I'd like to distinguish the difference between the two. My goal is for you to understand the difference between a "Newbie" and a "Smart Beginner."

I want to empower you to differentiate yourself, avoid being a Newbie in favor of a Smart Beginner.

The Most Significant Difference Between a Smart Beginner and a Newbie

First and foremost, Smart Beginners focus on what value they're willing to give. Value in this context means the promise you can make to yourself with regard to the promise you can make to the people that comprise your target market, and others that are inspired to join your “conversation.”

After that, immediately set up the basic components of a marketing funnel.

This comes BEFORE you start asking yourself or saying aloud:

• How do I make an additional 500-1000 per month?
• How do I make 10K per month?
• How do I sell 5 ebooks per week?
• How do I get 10-15 new reps in my business per month?
• How do I find a system that does these things for me?

It’s that mindset that keeps you focused on the wrong things. Don’t be mistaken, these are great goals and aspirations, but without emotional attachment in so much that it consumes what should be a very natural process of giving value for value’s sake.

The only thing that ends up happening when you ask those kinds of questions, and make that your main focus, is you become a consumer – because there will always be the “next best thing” you have to have because you’ve been conned into thinking it does the work for you or will make things easier.

That is so Newbie-like.

I see this all the time, people purchase so many resources when all they need to do is use what’s within Renegade Professional for $49 per month, and some of the fees associated with the tools that go with setting up the initial components (like web hosting, domain purchase, contact management system).

Other Specific Differences Between a Newbie and Smart Beginner

• A smart beginner puts emphasis on training and learning how to market. This means that they put 80% of their emphasis on training and learning to market themselves, and the remaining 20% on the implementation of their marketing training.
• A newbie doesn't make this differential. In fact, they may not even be considering marketing training. They think about making sales, affiliate commissions and the easiest and most effective short term way to pitch their deal.
• A smart beginner is committed long term, and anticipates that it will in all likelihood require a full year of consistent intense part-time effort to realize steady and effortless success. The smart beginner has a plan and is committed to working that plan.
• A smart beginner is immediately concerned with providing value to the communities which they are seeking to belong. They observe and study, and hone a message to deliver that is in alignment with the message their target audience wants and needs to hear. To do this, they have to understand themselves. As well as understand their place along their own developmental continuum.
• A newbie doesn't consider these things. A newbie hasn't spent anytime considering their target audience and prefers the "scattershot" approach. A newbie says, "Development continuum?" and scratches their head.
• A smart beginner can quickly flip what they've learned to begin benefiting their target audience. This is one of the first ways to offer value. Learn, apply and teach. It’s a simple smart beginner formula. Rather than trying to reach the masses, they initiate one on one connection and seek contacts before customers.
• A newbie isn't necessarily learning. They’re busy using whatever instantly gratifies a quick buck. A newbie stays a newbie because they don’t look at their business as a long term, self sustaining venture. A newbie is just trying to make money.

So ask yourself...Which are you? "Newbie" or a "Smart Beginner?"

Know automatically what to do in ANY situation

What if you knew EXACTLY what to do in every situation
you came across in life, no matter how new or unfamiliar
it was to you?

Impossible?

Not according to the most famous motivational speaker of
all time.

This fellow has probably been quoted more than any other
teacher or guru in history. In fact, his name has become
almost synonymous with “guru.”

This teacher, as far as I know, has never written a book or
spoken at a seminar. But you would instantly recognize his
face and his voice.

No, I’m not talking about Zig Ziglar, or Tony Robbins, or
even Brian Tracy.

While they are all highly respected and gifted teachers,
they just don’t have the same star quality as this guy.
Or the pointy ears and green skin.

Yes, I’m talking about Yoda.

I’ve been thinking about Yoda because of a great opportunity
coming soon for you to learn how to use mindset and mental
tools—“Jedi Mind Tricks,” if you will—to design and create
your own success. Not just in business, but personally as well.

Before I explain how you can learn these techniques, let’s
take a look at a few “Yoda-isms” and how they apply to your
business, right now.

——————————————————————
“ALWAYS IN MOTION IS THE FUTURE”
——————————————————————
This is more true now than it has ever been.

The Internet has changed the way we do business, and
technology continues to change and evolve.

Not too long ago we just had websites. Now we have Web 2.0,
blogs, Twitter, FaceBook, YouTube. What will Web 3.0 bring?
Web 5.0?

It’s impossible to know. But one thing is certain. If you
develop the techniques and the tools to connect and create
relationships, you will control your own future in motion.

—————————————————————————
“TRY NOT. DO OR DO NOT, THERE IS NO TRY”
—————————————————————————
Wow.

I can’t expand enough on that important wisdom. But I will
say that when I stopped trying to succeed, and started
practicing the techniques of successful people, I succeeded.

Just like Luke did when he followed Yoda’s teachings.

————————————————-
“HELP YOU I CAN, YES”
————————————————-
These may be the most important words Yoda ever spoke to
Luke. And this is absolutely the most important message you
can convey to your customers.

When you position yourself as a mentor, as a guide, you
instantly create a connection much stronger than any mere
customer relationship.

You’re no longer a business owner with a product. You’re a
trusted advisor with a solution.

Obviously, Yoda knew a lot about business success.

And on August 20th, Barbara Silva is going to be presenting
the 21st Century version of “Jedi Mind Tools” in a special
free webinar you’re invited to attend.

If you feel like you haven’t reached your full potential
in your life or your business… and you don’t know why…
Barbara is the one to help you with that.

She’s our “Coaches Coach” here at Renegade Professional
and in this webinar she’ll be equipping you with the skills
that set successful people apart.

I have seen first-hand how a skilled mentor and coach can
turn a business — or a life — around and immediately put
you on the right track for the future.

Once you master these skills that Barbara will be sharing,
you will:

-Know automatically what to do in any situation

-Never struggle again to make the right decision

-Attract the right customers more effectively

-Become the obvious solution, even for people who
aren’t sure what they need

-Create the life you want—financially, physically,
spiritually and emotionally

-Become the person you want to be

-Inspire trust immediately

-Build powerful relationships

-Control your own future

But I have to warn you about something that could hold
you back from the success you are capable of.

We’re making this webinar on August 20th available at no
charge. If you really take these ideas and use them, you
will experience amazing business and personal growth.

But if you decide that “free” means “without value,” then
you’re going to cheat yourself of a very valuable
opportunity.

Sign up for Barbara’s webinar now, attend the webinar on
August 20th, and learn the personal skills you need to
overcome the obstacles holding you back.
