It is EASIER to Build a 7 Figure Business Than a 6 Figure Business…SERIOUSLY!

I just got back from Toronto where I was leading a Mastermind Evening with Jennifer Beale with a group of graduates of Loral Langemeier’s 3 Days 2 Cash program.  The theme that they wanted to focus on was SCALE and SPEED in growing their businesses.

blueprint6When we began to discuss what was really required for scale and speed it was clear that the vast majority of the room had not really STRATEGICALLY DESIGNED their business.

While this is not uncommon, what was VERY interesting was when I said “Well if you have not designed the business yet, lets start with a clean sheet of paper and remember it is not harder to design a 7 Figure Business than a 5 or 6 figure business…it is just DIFFERENT”  the group stared at me in disbelief…

Then when I said it is EASIER to design and run a 7 figure business than it is a 6 figure business, they said “NO WAY!”

HOWEVER

It really is, the primary reason that most entrepreneurs do not believe it is easier is that they have built a business that does 200 – 300K and are VERY involved in delivery and operations and if they were to grow to 1 Million and beyond it FEELS like it would be 5 times the work.

It is NOT, at 1 Million there is a system and a team that provides you FREEDOM.

You know that this is true, but you are too busy to redesign something that is basically working.

I get it.  That is why I designed The 7 Figure Business Blueprint to support Successful entrepreneurs to rethink and reconsider their models and set their strategy more deliberately.

PS: Even if you are just starting out this is w brilliant way to start, you get to avoid the mistakes that most beginners make simply with a more strategic business model and scaling strategy.

This course is happening in Calgary THIS WEEKEND, check out the amazing speakers here.

PS: If you are not in the Alberta area we will be streaming the event as well!

If you have any questions?

Please contact Crystal Wimpney 780-999-4409 or email creatorscodecoordinator@gmail.com

See you this weekend!

Can Your Business Be In The Top 1%? Over 1 Million in Annual Sales?

I believe the answer is YES!

However most business are NOT designed to succeed…a serious argument could be made that most businesses are actually not designed at all…which means they are in fact designed to fail.

Which is sad!

So what I told you that it is possible to turn a $97 investment into 7 Figure Sales for your business? SERIOUSLY!

7FigureBizBlueprintlogo

No I am not talking about some silly get rich quick scheme, I am talking about the most powerful business building process in the universe…

 

EXPANDING YOUR EDUCATION, SUPPORT & NETWORK!

A project that Ihave been working on for about 2 years is happening December 5 – 7 in Calgary called The 7 Figure Business Blueprint.

NOTE: If you are outside of Calgary please keep reading because a) It will be worth your trip if you choose to travel b)If you are interested simply reply to this post and we will follow up to get you the video training version of the weekend.

The reason I created the powerful business building event is this. Over and over I am hired for coaching and consulting by people who have businesses that are

“Marginally Successful and Cash Poor”

You know what I mean, the business works…sort of…there is enough cash and customers to keep going…it would not make sense to quit.

BUT

It is not enough to really create freedom, it is not enough to hire the support that you want and NEED, there is not quite enough to be current with taxes…you know what I mean.

It is an all too common story, and the truth is that it does NOT need to be that way.  The reality is that if you can build a business that does 50k or 125K or 325K, you CAN scale that business, you CAN break 7 figures.

You CAN Have Financial Freedom & Time Freedom.

That is what The 7 Figure Business Blueprint is all about!

Four experts that specialize in scaling businesses from marginally successful and cash poor, to profitable cash machines that create your financial and time FREEDOM!

Now is the time to strategize for 2015, this is the year for you to GROW, this is your year of FREEDOM!

Our experts will simplify the process, provide perspective that you simply cannot see, because you are too close to your business and at this moment, you don’t know, what you don’t know.

Join us and a group of movers and shakers and create the BEST year in your businesses history! Regular ticket is only $97!  VIP with includes Sunday Mastermind is $197!

It will be the best investment in your business ALL YEAR!

To your success and freedom

I just got back from an outstanding conference in California The Joint Venture Experience JVX for short. The event is run by 2 of my dear friends Milana Leshinsky and Rich German the two hiding hands to my right in the picture.  I had the privilege of being one of a group of panelist on “The JV Shark Tank” a take off of the TV show where up and comers pitch their idea to us to see if we will partner with them, it is really a ton of fun and the combined brain and business power on the panel was stunning.

Most of the people pitching to The Shark Tank got JV deals and those who did not received some of the best “Free Masterminding” with industry leaders. It never ceases to amaze me the power of a group of people working together for the purpose of solving a problem, serving a person or attaining a goal.  This is the primary reason I have spent much of my time in the last 90 days developing and delivering my new program the “Launch Your Mastermind 90 Day Bootcamp” which teaches authors, coaches and consultants to design and deliver mastermind groups to their specific tribes.  If you are interested in breaking the time for money bind (who isn’t) check out the webinar here.

Back to the concept of Joint Ventures and building lasting relationships.

Over the past 4 years I have been blessed to meet and work with some of the great movers and shakers in the personal development and internet marketing space.  Some of those experiences have been stellar and some have been “meh”.  When I evaluate and compare the great with the not so great there is a powerful theme.  The great ones are those that I had REAL RELATIONSHIPS with, not just I will mail to my list if you mail to your list.

Hmmm

Now you know if you have been following me or have worked with me that when something strikes me or resonates with me I MUST act upon it! Upon further reflection I realized that I have been a ton of time and money traveling meeting people doing joint ventures when RIGHT AT HOME, in Western Canada there are probably 500 people that I should meet and we could support one another locally!!

These 2 realizations lead me to create The Banff JV Summit last year. A small  intimate, hand picked group of primarily regional business people who are dedicated to building their business and doing so with other great people.  We have people from ALL areas and types of businesses and have a ton of fun together (think wine tasting, skiing, canoeing).  The amazing thing out this is that the ROI for attendees has been reported at 1000%  to over 3000% (yes thousands of % ROI!) If you are interested in meeting and working with great people, supporting them to build their business and have them support you. Visit the site, I have 5 open seats left and i would love to talk to you and see if it is a fit.

Birthday Musings & Memories

9 years ago today Cory and I went and celebrated my Mom’s birthday and quietly sat without telling anyone that we “MAY” have a match in our adoption process.

We were hopeful but cautious…so many of the processes do not end with a successful adoption.  So we were quiet, optimistic and scared.

After Mom’s party Cory and I decided to tell Mom and my sister Lynn about our potential match.  After a long and heartfelt talk we decided we just needed a bit more health information and we were ready to commit on our end.

NOTE: Our adoption is an open adoption which means that the birth family and the adoptive family “choose” one another and negotiate contact and how the relationship will look in the future.

We were told that Heather (our birth Mom) would be induced on Nov 1st so we had a week or so to get ready.  To be clear a week is NOT enough : ) The next morning, Oct 24th we have a conversation with the adoption agency and with Heather about our health concerns and we knew we had a match.  YIKES!

So 1 week to prepare…

The next morning, Oct 25th we were in our weekly staff meeting and I get a call from the agency, I was expecting a call for paperwork or some other details but the voice simply says “Congratulations your son was born this morning.”

I am overwhelmed and find myself in tears…of joy. I tell Cory and the staff meeting quickly ends.

All I want to do is go to the hospital and get my son.

However there is a 24 hour waiting period…to provide the space for the birth Mom/family to change their mind about their adoption plan and just spend time with the baby.

That, my friends is a LONG 24 hours, waiting to see if she changes her mind…on the other hand 24 hours is no where near long enough to get ready to bring home a baby!  Bassinetes, bottles, diapers, soothers, clothes, blankets all alien to both Cory and I, thank God for dear friends Glenn & Lisa and Susan & Hugh. I will be eternally grateful to all of you.

The next morning was one of the most beautiful and heart wrenching days of my life.  Imagine the joy of adding an amazing little soul to your family but at the same time being present and witnessing the pain, sadness and loss of the birth mother.  For over an hour Heather hands Wyatt to Cory, bursts into tears and Cory hands him back and bursts into tears…I watch shoot video and cry, tears of joy and empathy.  All the while I just want to hold my boy but doing my best to just make space for this miraculous process unfolding before my eyes. Wyatt sleeps through all of this never opening his eyes, even when he was being fed. Heather, your courage and clarity in making an adoption plan for “OUR” little man will remain one of the greatest gifts I have ever received.  Thank you is no where near adequate.

IMG_1243Finally, Cory walks over to me and places the little man in  my arms…and I start talking to him welcoming him to the world and our family.  Instantly he opens his eyes and looks at me…actually peers to and what felt like through my soul.  I instantly knew that he was meant to be my son, that he just came to our family in an unusual route.  That day is emblazoned upon my being.

Here we are, Wyatt nine years old this Saturday, your arrival changed our lives in so many ways for the better.  I cannot describe the joy, pride and love I have for you.

IMG_2416

Happy birthday my son. The next 9 years will fly by (even faster I suspect) and you will be off to university or some other epic adventure. Your Mom and I will do our best to support and prepare you for whatever that is.

In the meantime lets keep having fun playing swords, street hockey and whatever else you want to do. PLEASE try not to hurt me with your slap shot, and above all keep making space for the most important thing in life – family (immediate, extended and birth).

I love you with all my heart and am proud to be your Dad, I know you will grow up to be an amazing man.

Love Dad
