Re: Visionary Advanced Entrepreneurial Training
Dear Colleague,
Look, right now is a tumultuous time to be an entrepreneur. The markets are down, investors are tight-lipped and tight-fisted, and interest rates on other forms of capital are rising.
That doesn't even touch on the traditional hardships of the business owner!
So how do you plan to tackle 2008?
Have you strategized how to grow your company's revenues by more than 50% this year?
Do you know what your competition is planning and how you'll address the threat?
Have you designed the systems and processes necessary to automate and scale your business for optimal growth?
If not, don't be surprised. You're like 95% of entrepreneurs out there. However, you may be worried by a couple little facts...
FACT: Over 50% of small businesses fail in the first year alone.
SCARIER FACT: 95% will fail within the first five.
So trust me...you DO NOT want to be like 95% of entrepreneurs out there. Stick with me, and I'll make sure you rise to the top 5% who launch and run consistently successful companies.
Why am I going to help you? Because creating and developing companies happen to be what I love, and what I do best.

Now, back to the fun part...let me share with you a little bit about why it's important to take chances—and the one chance you're going to have to take to ensure your business a successful upcoming year...
Confessions of a Serial Entrepreneur
My journey into the world of business never bulleted down the express lane. At age 16 I ran away to New York City to become a model. Six months later I talked my way into college without a high school diploma. Still unsatisfied I became a Buddhist monk and subsequently broke my vows. Finding myself as the low-man on the totem pole at Microsoft, I took that first leap into becoming an entrepreneur and made the decision that “I will be a millionaire!”
So check this out. Ten years later, I had made over $10 million dollars. By the age of 40 I had retired, having started and sold 5 of my own companies, consulted to 700 of the Fortune 1000, with the White House and hundreds of small businesses. I invested in over 200 companies as a Venture Capitalist and/or Angel Investor and served as a board director or "in-the-trenches advisor" to 36 startups.
It gets even better. I was also a key product pioneer for Windows, Internet Explorer, Oracle, Symantec, and Google. Goldmines, right?
Hey, I'm not bragging. My story can ultimately be KEY to your story. I know first-hand that the chances I have taken, all successes and failures, have led to priceless insights and experiences that can shave years and thousands of dollars worth of grief off YOUR rise to success.
Your path is different than mine, but I'm guessing we have some things in common.
Ask yourself:
Do you truly understand the fundamentals for launching a successful business?
Is it time that you took 100% responsibility for the success you're seeking?
Wouldn't it be great to spend more time working “on your business” rather than “in your business”?
Have you discovered your potential customers' pain and are you selling against it?
Does your business plan effectively market your company and is it compelling enough to land financiers?
Can you establish credibility in today's cut-throat culture?
Have you identified potential landmines you may encounter as your startup your business and crafted ways around them?
Is your team strong enough to “rock the boat”?
How do you know when/if you're ready to seek investors, and what types of investors are ideal for you and your business?
When your company launched did it make the maximum impact on the market and avoid the most common business mistakes?
And that's just for starters. I have been in your shoes, perhaps shoes ten times smaller and with holes in them...and now I am going to get you into some shiny new shoes. I'm even going to tell you every step you need to take with those shiny new shoes to build your business. So why would I help you do this?
Because I've been there. Not only have I built my own companies, I have consulted with close to 1000 of the world's leading companies, both start-up and established, both large and small, to develop multi-million dollar empires. What I would have given to get me hands on a program of secrets like this back then! It sure would have saved me a lot of time, frustration and money.
And after hundreds of startup entrepreneurs begged me to provide them with a “step-by-step course to build their enterprise,” I am now, for the first time, distilling all my ultra-stealth, proven knowledge and strategies into an easy-to-follow format that you can implement step-by-step.
And you won't have to pay my six-figure consulting fee to get it!
But first, I promised to reveal to you two top-secret techniques I've used time and again...
SECRET #1
It's Not Just About Who You Know - It's About
What They'll Do For You.
You must have powerful and connected mentors to take your company to the next level.
Three steps to getting influential advisors are:
1) Practice “palm up” networking. Find out what they care about and help them get it.
2) Ask for advice, NOT favors. When a person gives advice they become emotionally connected to you, and want to help you follow it.
3) Energy = equity, equity = access, access = influence. When you put energy into people you gain emotional equity. Emotional equity leads to access to a person's heart, mind, ideas, contacts. This access enables you to influence outcomes for your business and life. |
|
SECRET #2
Companies are Dismissed Daily as Unimportant or Low Value.
Thus they don't get preferential financing terms, offers for doing pivotal deals, opportunities for high profile press.
Here are three ways (out of 10!) to boost the value of your company:
1) Specific strategic alliances. An LOI (Letter of Intent) with a partner ain't gonna cut it. You need a binding contract spelling out exactly what the terms of your deal are.
2) New sales channels. Distributors, value-added resellers, outside sales forces, affiliates, joint venture partners, all boost the value of your company. Of course you'll track the performance of your sales channels, too.
3) Product line extension. Let's assume you sell a super cool widget. What's next? Son of Widget? Platinum Widget? Widget Extraordinaire? Map out your future product lines so financiers, partners, and staff can see where you are headed and how you plan to get there. |

Oh, and that one vital chance you'll have to take to ensure your business a successful year this year?
I have one word for you: MENTOR.
If you don't already have one, get one. I mean it. None of us did it alone. You won't either. I don't mean to be a downer, but ask any successful person and they'll tell you that someone helped lead them somewhere along the way.
If you want, I can lead you. Imagine having one of the top advisors for 700 of the world's Fortune 1000 mentoring and coaching you through your business' growth this year. Imagine what you could accomplish.
I'll get you there. Guaranteed.

But Don't Take My Word For It...
"I received my investment back 100 times"
“Working with Christine as a member of her program has been truly transformational both personally and professionally. Whether as specific as getting detailed feedback from Christine on how to make my company more viable, provocative and inspiring or as necessary as getting the clarity on how to hire an Operations Manager, the work I have done with Christine in the last few months has helped me grow my company exponentially.
It is amazing how I felt and truly was getting 1 on 1 personal and professional coaching from Christine on each Group Call.
I cannot recommend this program enough. I received my investment back 100 times. I am working less and making more and now have a lifestyle that is in alignment with what I teach.”
Marcia Wieder
Founder and CEO: Dream Coach University
"The single best business decision we ever made"
“With 30 years of radio and television production experience I had, what I was sure was a great idea for a startup business, but I did not know who or how to present it to. That was all before Christine. She is what we call in radio “High Power”. We decided to join her coaching program - the single best business decision we ever made.
Christine's personal coaching in our business plan and on acquiring advisors and investors was brilliant. She has de-mystified so much for us and her personal contacts have been helpful several times.
Because of Christine we are approaching billionaires, millionaires and world famous speakers to consider strategic alliances. Thankfully we had the courage to hire Christine as our coach.”
Tim Dineen & Natalia Ippolito
Co-founders: Inspire Me Media
“Our custom and private label departments are exploding!”
“Before I met Christine I was feeling quite discouraged that I may never reach the level of business that I had aspired to. Christine has coached me on boosting my self esteem, how to sell my luxury jewelry, and clients problems so that I may better serve the couture jewelry market.
As a result of Christine's coaching my jewelry business has begun to take flight in new directions. Recently the Saks Fifth Avenue Beverly Hills buyer invited Grando into her store to see our signature designs. Not only did the buyer fall in love with our jewelry, which she is now carrying in her store, the buyer invited us to participate in a holiday cocktail party that Saks is hosting for Cartier and a select group of couture jewelry designers.
Additionally, thanks to Christine, our custom and private label departments are exploding! Christine's coaching has kept my husband and I focused on solving our clients and manufacturing design problems.“
Nancy Grando
President of Grando Couture Jewelry Company
“Our branding and marketing plan has never been clearer!”
“Before I met Christine my wife Shari and I were trapped by our business with no clear BIG picture plans to grow our business nationally and ultimately establish our path to financial freedom.
Christine has coached us on identifying our unique talents, so we can differentiate ourselves from our competition and create our own distinct niche in the marketplace.
As a result of Christine's coaching, we have been able to close our business one day a week, YET still maintain our monthly sales revenue, AND spend that day developing new educational content.
Christine is coaching us right now through a critical opportunity to position our brand and online content in front of a 120,000+ member website and potentially double our yearly sales with only a 7% member response! We have been able to identify our unique niche and as a result our branding and marketing plan has never been clearer! Thank you Christine!!!”

What will your legacy be?
