The bastards have forced my hand about coaching
Published: Sun, 09/20/15
Dan Meredith told me today in the past year and a half since he’s been learning from me — via “Email Players” and also the personal coaching I’ve done for him and him only (well, and my ex-copywriting apprentice, but they’re the only two) he’s tracked close to $200k in income.
My ex-copywriting apprentice has had a similar experience.
In that time a handful of people have demanded I coach them, too. Some to the point where they’re kind of bastard-ish about it.
(Which I can respect…)
To be blunt, I really don’t like doing coaching.
It’s just not my thing.
I like to work alone.
And, I don’t want to be responsible for anyone else but my dog Zoe. She’s about all the responsibility I can handle. Still, enough people have asked about coaching where I can’t ignore the demand anymore. Now, whether anyone is willing to pay my outrageous sky-high fees, we’ll see.
To even be considered, you have to have 4 things:
1. Be an “Email Players” subscriber
Subscribers have been indoctrinated with my ways (or are in the process of it), and that will save us both a lot of time (and, for me, frustration) trying to get you up to snuff on my wicked ways.
Next…
2. Obedience
Want to “tweak” what I tell you to do and go your own way? Afraid to leave your comfort zone? Worried about what people think? Think you can say, “yeah, yeah, Ben, I know, but I want to do it *this* way instead…”
Get ye behind me, Mush Cookie.
You’re not a fit at all.
I can recommend a half dozen other coaches who will charge you bargain basement prices to coach you and put up with your wannabe bullshit all day long.
Me?
I won’t put up with even a minute of it.
3. Time
I expect implementation.
Not excuses.
I won’t ask you to work crazy hours. But, you will need to have a good 2 hours per day (working time, not “busy” time) to implement what I command. If you don’t have 2 hours per day (your FIRST two hours of the day, when you’re at your best), you’re out.
After all, even elBenbo can’t turn water into wine.
Nor can I make money without time, either.
4. Money
This is not going to be cheap.
Or, even “affordable.”
The cost is $15k per month.
Paid by check (no “slapping” it on credit).
This narrows it down to probably 17 people reading this. And, if you do everything I say, I reckon (no guarantees) you probably won’t need more than a month of help anyway.
My goal is to get you out of my hair, frankly.
(While making you a ton of extra sales for the rest of your life, of course, my reputation is on the line...)
And, I will probably only do this for one month anyway.
Why?
Because, here’s what I’m going to commit to:
First, you get three 1-hour long calls with me each week.
That’s a lot of time.
And, fact is, you probably will only need 3 minutes.
Ask Dan Meredith. He paid me for hour long calls ONCE per month. I don’t think any of them lasted more than 20-minutes, yet he says I made him almost $200k in the past year.
How?
Because the “what” to do is relatively simple.
Most of it is a matter of you doing what you’re told, my little droogie. I know you aren’t hearing this from the stage at all the Internet marketing summits, seminars, and masterminds you attend — but making sales is relatively simple. It’s DOING the work that separates the dogs from the puppies.
More:
I’ll also review your ads and emails line by line.
(Whether client work or your own products/services).
I’ll tell you how to improve them, help you come up with ideas and themes for ads and emails, help you get clients (if’n that’s your thing, although I cannot guarantee you anything — a lot of it depends on you), introduce you to my network of friends and colleagues, help you with your funnels and offers, and you are eligible for ONE full day (24 hours if needed, we’ll Red Bull this mo’ fo’ if we have to) with me, in person, in my Bandon, OR (golf capital of the Pacific Northwest, if’n that’s your thing we’ll also play a round…) where we can work on your stuff the entire day. You’ll have to pay your own airfare and hotel, though. You’ll basically have 24/7 access to me for 30-days with questions, advice, tips, and ideas for your business, marketing, selling, copywriting, emails, and campaigns.
And, before you even ask:
I won’t hand you a pile of books to read or ads to write out by hand, etc.
That’s why only “Email Players” subscribers are eligible.
I don’t want to have to teach you the basics. You should already know the basics. You should already have a working offer. And, you should be ready to add another “0” to your profits. elBenbo can’t create sales for you, but he *can* multiply your current sales. If you don’t have an offer and back end in place, or if you can’t make your $15k back relatively easily (even without my help) then don’t bother.
Awright.
One more thing:
I make NO guarantees or promises of success or results.
If you need a safety net… or if you don’t think I can help you… simply skip out on this. I get it. No hard feelings. Plenty of conventional coaches/consultants to pick from who will promise you the moon and hand you a pile of fluff, stuff you can learn in a $10 book on Amazon, or theory.
You’d be better off with one of them.
On the other hand:
If you’re ready to go, reply to this email.
No way am I doing this for more than 2 people per month.
So reply, and the first two people to have a check in my hands (I recommend FedEx overnight) are in for October.
Word up.
