There is no spoon
[Note: This post ran last week on the Project Mojave blog. I'm running it here because I think a lot of people missed it -- and frankly, it's important.]
I’d like to talk about the magic ingredient for success in any endeavor, be it building a Project Mojave “Freedom Business” or climbing the outside of a glass skyscraper wearing suction cups and Superman underwear. Even if you have all the planning and equipment and knowledge in the world, you can’t get anywhere without this magic ingredient. Without the ingredient, you will fall flat on your face every single time.
That magic ingredient? It’s belief.
Allow me to make this all about myself yet again.
You won’t believe this Black Friday sale! (Okay, maybe you will. But it’s still cool.)
As promised, and under extreme pressure from certain parties, I’ve decided to have a Black Friday sale.
I don’t entirely understand Black Friday, as I believe we already have an entire Black History Month, but I’m an inclusive and tolerant guy. So, I asked Sean Oliver, the black Johnny Truant, what he thought about me participating in Black Friday anyway and he was like, “You should do it,” and I was like, “But what if people object?” and then he was like, “I’ve got your back. HOLLA!” and he recorded the video at the end of this post so that everyone would be on board.
Anyway, here’s the dilly-O on the sale:
1. It starts now (a bit early, because I’m lazy) and will run through tomorrow, which for some reason is called “Black Friday.”
2. Don’t worry: No matter what race you are, you may partake of the bargains.
Here’s the deal: My awesome, comprehensive, super-fab Zero to Business course will be on sale for half price: $147. I’M CRAZY! So, like, if you’ve ever wanted to learn pretty much all of the internet skillz you’d need to get started NOW in an online business (including phat affiliate tips to make you money now, as well), this is the time to do it.
- Don’t know how to create, manage, and use a mailing list? I’ll teach you.
- Don’t know how to build a website and pimp it out to make it work for you? I gots your back.
- Want to learn how to use a shopping cart (a full-featured one, or e-Junkie), create and run an affiliate program, backup your database, earn money as someone else’s affiliate, and how to ward off zombies? I’ll show you the way.
So yeah. Click the button below to buy it before tomorrow ends, and it’s half off. Only $147. Do it now, dude.
.
Also, because my wife Robin says it’s really stupid to have a sale that contains only one item — and also because I’m lazy), I’m continuing the consulting deal I offered earlier in the week through the end of tomorrow as well: 5 sessions of small business consulting or tech coaching for only $397. (That’s $100 off of the normal price, and at least half of what the same package will cost after January 1st, when my prices will go up.)
So that’s still on until the end of Friday as well. You can buy it here:
.
And if you’re having doubts about any of this? Well then, clearly you need to watch the video from Sean that I mentioned earlier:
.
So there you have it. If that’s not a raving endorsement, I don’t know what is.
The program that got me started is 75% off. Holy crap.
Remember Online Business School? Remember how, if you’ve been reading my stuff, you probably know that OBS is pretty much responsible for me being where I am today? Remember how without OBS, there’s really no Johnny B. Truant business or JBT coffee mugs here today?
Well, Naomi Dunford of IttyBiz is out of her mind and is offering Online Business School for 75% off. You heard me. It’s normally $397; but ONLY UNTIL FRIDAY, it’s $97.
Go here and get it before she sobers up — or in any case, before Friday, which is when the sale ends. Maybe you could be the next JBT. Except that I’ll still have better hair.
NOTE: On that page, it still shows OBS at the $397 price. But the super-secret is that if you click on the buy link, it’s actually $97. Shh… don’t tell Naomi that I know; it’ll ruin the farce I’m trying to concoct here which assumes that she didn’t tell me herself.
I’m giving thanks for my clients with cheap consulting until Wednesday, and I also am confused but excited by Black Friday sales
So Thanksgiving time rolls around again and I’m all excited because I’m very interested in gorging myself. But in addition to enduring gastrointestinal distress, this is a day for thanks. And what am I thankful for? Well, a ton of stuff. My family, where I live, and a bunch of other stuff that doesn’t really impact YOU unless YOU are my wife, and in that case, Hey baby, how’s it going?
Tim Brownson just stood up and started to walk in my direction. Sit down, Tim.
But what else am I thankful for? For my clients. My wonderful, intelligent, classy, attractive, and lovely-smelling clients.
So to thank you all, I’m doing a sale on consulting that will only last until Wednesday. That applies to small business consulting and technology coaching both. And if you think I’m cloaking my intentions here and really am just doing a sale to make more money, I have two responses:
1. Yeah, I totally want to make money. Don’t go acting like that’s so surprising.
But also,
2. This really is a sale. Like, I’m fighting with myself about offering this because I’m already strapped for time. What you’re supposed to do when you’re strapped for time is to raise your rates, not have a sale. That’s just plain stupid. So believe me, I’m also tipping my hat to everyone I’ve worked with or who is thinking about working with me, and to everyone who reads what I write.
And in addition,
3. I find it insulting that the kids won’t let the Trix Rabbit have any Trix, and that they’re always stealing from Lucky the Leprechaun. Damn kids.
So what’s the sale?
For today, tomorrow, and Wednesday only, I’m offering my 5-hour consulting/coaching package for $397. That’s $100 off, and at least $600 less than the same package will cost in 2010. If I were a used car salesman, I’d now tell you how craaaaaaaazy I am, but I’m not and I won’t.
I’m not shitting anyone here. This is as rock-bottom as I’ll ever go, so if you’d like to book some Johnny time, now’s your best chance.
Okay, more:
1. You absolutely must peruse my new coaching pages even if you don’t want in on this! They’re so awesome. I just re-did them, after months of waffling with outdated offerings. Mmm, waffles. And congrats, Johnny, for finishing a task.
2. If you do buy the package by Wednesday, I’ll give you three months to use the five sessions. Three months -ish. Say by the end of February.
3. I feel like I should have three things here.
Also, an astounding Black Friday doorbuster sale!
Some time in the past few years, someone decided to name the Friday after Thanksgiving in the U.S. “Black Friday.” This confused me because we already have all of February set aside as Black History Month. Nonetheless, I have contacted Sean Oliver, the black Johnny Truant, and he says it’s okay for me to celebrate it even though I’m white.
So I’m going to just tell you now that I’ll have a special deal on Friday, and you may partake no matter what race you are. We’re all about inclusion here.
So, got it?
>> From now until Wednesday, five hours of consulting is now only $397. I’m going to add some extraneous exclamation points to make this more exciting. !!!!!!1!11!!!one!
>> Thursday we eat Turkey. Unless you’re Canadian.
>> On Friday, in honor of my African-American friends, I’m going to announce a big and awesome deal that I have for you just like Best Buy has on Black Friday. And it won’t be on some fucking stupid printer that they only have one of. You’ll have all day Friday to buy, but don’t forget, because the sale ends Friday night and then I’ll add more exclamation points!!1!!!!!1!
Want in? Good! Check out what I do and get your order in now. If you don’t, I’ll be forced to add more exclamation points.
