A Note From The Coach

Well I did it. I revealed my most heart-felt program ever – my Magnetize More Money Mastermind. As I shared with the listeners from Magnetize More Money call, I put this program together based not just on my own experiences of knowing what's it's like to feel like the flow is shut down but also due to some pretty amazing breakthroughs my clients have been experiencing when they get clarity, confidence and the right connections in place.

If you missed the live call you can still listen in – it's the only way to get your invitation to mastermind me with me for the next four months to generate more money, clients and resources to grow your business.

I hope you are taking some time to enjoy summer and recharge. Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in all the deadlines and be a workaholic. Luckily I was swept away again this weekend to visit one of my favorite places – the JW Marriott in Palm Desert. Even though it was well over 100 degrees I still enjoy chillin by the pool with a great book.

I took with me a new book my friend Jim Palmer wrote called Stick Like Glue: How to Create Everlasting Bond with your Customers so they Spend More, Stay Longer and Refer More. It's a great read….and I may just make him a future Extraordinary Results Academy mentor to share his insights with you too!

Enjoy your summer,

"Seven Figure Success in a New Era of Entrepreneurship: The 7-Figure Formula For Making Millions by Making a Difference!"

I've lost sleep over this many a night...

If we live in a world of limitless possibility, then why are so many gifted, amazing people struggling just to get by, when they have such powerful work to share?

Do they just need...

...to use more hard-core marketing?

...to become better salespeople?

...to be more confident and determined?

...to be noticed by the "right" person?

And then there are others (like my friend Suzanne Evans) who walk away from their draining and unsatisfying 50-hour per week desk jobs … and in less than a year create an impact that generates over 7-figures in under 12 months.

Plus: Suzanne's clients RAVE about her and she's been able to help hundreds more people in the process! So...What is Suzanne doing that is allowing her to live in flow...ease...abundance...x`freedom?

The great news is...Suzanne (and her mentor over the past 12 months, David Neagle) are ready and wanting to SHARE EXACTLY HOW with as many people who are wanting and ready to learn!

Join us on this 60-minute Success Strategy Session to learn how YOU can follow their 5-Step Formula for Seven Figure Success in this New Era of Entrepreneurship!

A Success Tip

Expand Your Leads and Make More Sales with Magnetic Strategic Partners

partners When I first started moving my business to an online marketplace I was lucky enough to have a friend and colleague who showcased me as the "Get Out Of Overwhelm" expert to her list. We put together one call that channeled a significant number of leads for years.

Another colleague of mine invited me to speak multiple times at his event for small business owners. My ability to solve the problem of overwhelm that his attendees were feeling led to many immediate AND long-term sales.

But not all of my strategic alliances have been so fruitful. Once I had a colleague offer to promote my program by hosting a call only to realize he never sent any emails to his list. Needless to say there weren’t any callers. I’ve also encountered partners who start strong and then fade away leaving me wondering what went wrong.

Over the years I have realized that aligning with strategic partners for me is more than just a one-time "joint venture" deal. It’s about creating a bond that causes both parties to want to support each other. I like to call them Magnetic Strategic Partnerships (MSP) – two or more parties who generate significant buzz and excitement for the other’s offerings. Each supports the other by sharing the resource with their community via hosted teleclasses, email blasts, Facebook or Twitter posts or sharing articles.

The result – sell more, make more cash and elevate your prestige in a new community.

So what’s the magic formula for finding Magnetic Strategic Partners? Here are a few of the attributes to look for – whether you are searching or being asked to play.

1. Likeability

Have you ever had a project to work on with someone you didn’t like very much? You probably found that you procrastinated–
