Stop Using Facebook and Do This Instead
Stop Facebooking. Stop Twittering. Stop Youtubing. Just stop. Instead, if you want your online business to success, you need to focus on just doing one thing. But which one thing? The one thing that works! As Mark Ford taught me, “Find your Optimal Selling Strategy and then spend 80% of your time on this.” For…
Read More#1 Law that Will Turn Your Life Around
Dinner that night, at a seashore restaurant in sunny San Diego, had turned awkward. To my left was one of the most generous men I knew, my business partner, Bedros Keuilian. To my right, a gentleman, HT, that we had met at the seminar earlier that day, and whom Bedros had invited to join us…
Read MoreNumber One Day to Sell
Happy April 14th! Hope that you are celebrating. I know, I know, Monday, April 14th is nothing special, but today is still the #1 day to have a sale. Why? Because today ends in ‘y’. That’s always the best day to have a sale, a promotion, or an event. Any day works! St. Patrick’s Day.…
Read More10-Minute Fat Loss Accelerator Workouts
Seriously. There’s hardly any difference. That’s why it’s such a waste of time. The reality is you burn only 231 calories per hour walking on a treadmill. That’s about 2 pieces of bread and a smidgen of peanut butter. Even if you jog for 30 minutes you only burn 238 calories. BRUTAL! If you really…

At 9am sharp our team marches in. Ambitious, energetic Amber leads the charge. She’s joined by Patrick, jovial and competitive at the same time, always finding the humor in something. They are led by Gary, our young, yet experienced copywriter, deft with a turn of phrase, as prolific as they come. Finally, the group is…
Read More21 Rules from the Millionaire’s Code
Five years ago I attended an event where the Millionaire’s Code was first revealed. But I was probably the only personal trainer that went home and typed out the complete code, laminated the document, and that has reviewed one rule from the list each morning since. That’s right, every day I review the Code. From…
Read MoreHow To Email Big Shots
Joel doesn’t answer – or read – all of my emails. So he certainly won’t read all of yours, either. Don’t let this get down or depressed. The poor guy has 1800 unread emails in his inbox. He’s busy. You’re busy. Everyone is busy. Sometimes people don’t respond right away or the first time. As…
Read MoreTruth About Cardio from Rachel Cosgrove
When she speaks, you have to listen. After, one of the most hard-to-the-core training websites just let her RANT about the uselessness of cardio. This site usually publishes only gurus like Jim Wendler, Dan John, and Mark Rippetoe, so it was a great honor that she was able to speak her mind and reveal the…
Read MoreThe Formula for Making Money
It was 9:45 on a Saturday night. In California. That put me five hours past my regular East Coast bedtime. But there I was, still on stage in front of over three hundred small-business owners, showing them how to extract more profit from their businesses. I loved it. Nothing gets me more excited than teaching…
Read MorePerfect Email System
I consider my #1 Diet Challenge email that I sent to be a “Near-Perfect Email Set Up”: This should be taught to everyone – not necessarily so that we send dedicated promos like this, but as a way for people to write a connection-content-click-to-sale email that readers will appreciate and act-on. Here’s how the system…

Read MoreBest Breakfast Ever
The best breakfast that I ever did have was in Panama City. I was staying at the Hotel RIU and they brought me the biggest omelet and a giant bowl of the freshest fruit. It was a meal fit for a King. And that’s what I’m going to teach you today: How to eat like…
