A Short Story From a Long-Distance Runner
Filed under: Attraction Marketing, Renegade Professional, Renegade University
Ever since writing about Attraction Marketing in general and Renegade University in particular, a number of people, online and offline, have asked me, "Great for you, but do you think that could help me build my business online?"
The short answer is, yes it will, if you believe in yourself and take massive, committed action.
To illustrate what I’m talking about, I’m going to share with you an amazing story about something that changed my life:
How To Cause a Breakthrough in Your Business
Producing great results in your business is often caused by careful planning and precise execution.
Causing breakthrough results in your business is a different matter. Breakthrough results are mostly caused by implementing powerful new ideas that you hadn’t tried before.
The best business mentors specialize in getting you to think outside of your box and showing you how to implement strategies you hadn’t thought of before or hadn’t thought of in those ways before.
Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler are those type of business mentors. They connect dots you hadn’t even seen before.
Renegade Professional Registrations Re-Open for a Limited Time Only
News Flash: Just got an email from Mike Klingler announcing that Renegade Professional Registrations have re-opened for a limited time only: this Monday-Tuesday, April 6-7.
If you haven’t heard, last Thursday, Renegade Professional had a huge re-launch — 3,000 new members in 14 hours — that brought their servers to their knees and contributed to closing registrations early. Shows you what great marketing can do!
Having registered on Thursday morning and started working with the material for the past few days, I can tell you that Renegade Professional gives you all the information you need to develop a successful business on the Internet using Attraction Marketing.
If you couldn’t get in on Thursday or you’re now interested in joining, now’s the time to sign up. This could be it as far as Renegade Professional registrations for quite some time.
How I Fought Renegade Pro and Won
I’d been planning it all week: Get up early, get our daughter ready for school, get to my computer just before the early-bird sign-in at 8 a.m. PT and, as soon as the clock strikes 8, reload my browser and sign-in to Renegade Professional . Not so fast.
I did all that and the time counter on the early-bird page just kept going…-1 second, -2 seconds, -3 seconds. I kept reloading, certain that Firefox was caching the page. Nope. Reload. Reload. Reload. I went to another early-bird link I’d received. Same thing.
Thoughts of being among the first 100 registrants (and winning some really cool bonuses) fading from my mind, I quickly started surfing MarketingMerge.com, figuring that there must be a link to the Renegade Professional there. I was right. I found the login page, entered my info, and I was in. Finally! Not sure exactly what time that was, but my "Welcome" email from Mike Klingler arrived in my inbox with a timestamp of 8:10 a.m. Whew.
I work in IT and I know crazy things happen around a site’s launch, so the cynic in me asked, "Did someone just forget to update the redirect on the page?" In the frantic rush to launch, did someone just miss a step in the launch countdown checklist and lock out thousands of people? Hmmm.
Later in the day, after my cynicism subsided, I tweeted @Ann_Sieg, asking the most sober question I could: Were the servers overloaded at 8 a.m.? Yup. Quoting @Ann_Sieg for all those interested: "@roadmapp Yes, it did feel like a battle. We’ve got pics of our servers getting slammed. 40 orders per sec. It was insane."
I bet. And, I want to see those pictures!
Now, you ask, was all that and $49 worth it? You bet. On the other side of the login is a literal marketing wonderland of tutorials, videos, affiliate link opportunities….you name it. The back office is chock full of information and is amazingly well-organized and easy to navigate. I haven’t had the chance to absorb all of it yet. I’ve just read the two Quick Start notes from Mike Klingler. But, on first blush, very impressive.
If you haven’t yet signed up for Renegade Professional , there is still time. But not much. Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler have said that they’re going to close new registrations within 24 hours or (I think I’m getting this correct) once they’ve reach the maximum number that they think they can properly service. UPDATE: They’ve just announced that Renegade Professional will close for new registrations tonight, Thursday, April 2 at 9 p.m. PT.
If you’re too late to sign up for Renegade Professional, then don’t miss the opportunity to train yourself in effective Attraction Marketing by registering for Renegade University. It’s free and also contains loads of great training on Attraction Marketing techniques to start or expand your business.
