The Hucksters

The spam that I receive in email, and the offers extended on Linkedin in both posts and messages, purport that the sender is making seven or even eight figures with some “guaranteed” method to get leads, or sell services, or attract publishers. But if you’re that successful, shouldn’t we know who you are, shouldn’t you have a readily recognized brand? Why use this amateurish marketing?

In other words, actions are louder than words. In this case: If you’re so rich, how come you’re not smart?

Preaching to the Choir?

The challenge for the new Pope, methinks, is whether to “modernize” the message so that the teachings of Christianity can be applied contemporarily to improve people’s daily lives, or whether to reaffirm the traditional theology and commitment of the already faithful. One in five people in the world is Catholic (that word means “universal”) but of varying engagement with the church.

I’ve found that all kinds of organizations have to create a fresh infusion of “new blood” by demonstrating their value for the times. And I think these times are seeing a rise in organized religion because secularization is making people cynical and feel powerless.

However, after church, no one gives anyone else a break in getting out of the parking lot. Beliefs and the practicing thereof shouldn’t be stopped at the church walls.

Shrieks and Hoots

I understand audience exuberance at rock concerts, but hooting and shrieking like banshees in the ballet, or the opera, or a serious Broadway play, and often during the performance? Talking back to a move screen is bad enough, but screaming after a dancer performs a jeté is enough to make us all lose our balance.

Six Figures to Seven

This is by far one of my most popular programs (along with the Million Dollar Consulting® College and Master Class). I’ve delivered it a total of six times on three continents, each time different, because the focus is on contemporary events and the near future. Join me to learn and apply how, for example, to: 

• charge over $100,000 for nearly every project. 

• go beyond coaching to the more lucrative advisory work 

• build a brand that’s on every buyer’s mind 

• develop novel and new IP weekly and AD HOC 

• use language to control any conversation 

• stimulate evangelism as a sales strategy  

• create instant eBooks 

• dramatically improve your speaking and videos 

• overcome esteem issues dealing with buyers and fees.

There will be role plays, so if they make you fearful, I’ll have a “safe haven” for you (out in the hall). There will be a practicum, so if working on client issues makes you nervous, bring medication (enough to share, of course). So man-up. Woman-up. Human- up. Whatever. I cannot guarantee that you will accept and apply what I share with you. But you will have already paid me, so what the hell? I will promise that if you apply even some of my techniques consistently and completely, you’ll make a minimum 50:1 return on this investment. Social proof?
