Justin is one of the coolest guys I've met online. He's someone that upon meeting him, we knew we needed his coaching. We hired him for several hours of coaching. Justin teaches you to be an amazing speaker who can profit from the stage. Just a few hours of his coaching made me nearly $10k in 25 minutes. It's an incredible feeling to sell from the stage, to have the kind of return of on investment that Justin has given us, is rare to say the least. When we was first thinking about speaking from the stage, we was scared. We also nervous about giving away the whole cart...but we weren't sure what we'd teach, and we sure as hell didn't know how we'd sell...but we didn't want to spend over $1,000 to travel and not make money. Enter Justin -- he showed us the ropes. He told us what was needed, gave us confidence, and we ran with it. Two weeks later we sold more at an event than anyone else --truthfully we think we provided more value and made more money then anyone else. Three Pro Tips to Sell From Stage  De

Meet Kevin Rogers —former comedian turned world-class copy writer. His accolades as Copy Chief can be summed up in a few words by the legend himself, John Carlton: “I've hired the guy to write for me before (one of only 3 writers, globally, I've ever hired like that). I've asked him to be my "behind the scenes" sidekick during seminars I've spoken at. And, I pay VERY close attention when he shares his stunning discoveries of how brand-spanking-new technology-laced selling opportunities can be tamed for regular entrepreneurs.” Getting that kind of testimonial doesn’t come easy… And when it does, you've made it. Our talk with Kevin was so amazing we didn’t do the usual 30 minute interview, we stretched it to nearly 1 hour…and we wanted more (so we’ve asked him to come back in a few months - which will be real treat because he’s got a new product and we want to be one of the first people to announce it).

From the outside, being an entrepreneur can look like beaches, time off, and waking up late. We do get a lot of that, but hold your horses Jose! Studies have shown that entrepreneurs work more, work harder, and often times make less money than the 9-5 employee. And a key mistake that they make is this: they don't separate business life, work, and personal life. And if you work with your romantic partner, like we do, this is especially true. In this interview, we dive into how to separate your business from your personal life, save money, and build a financial plan that sets you up for long-term success. Studies show that after 50 hours of work per week, productivity goes way down (55+ hours even more). Let's get you working smarter not harder.
