Melanie Has Something BIG to Share with You!

I wanted to give you a quick heads-up about a FREE teleclass call on March 5 that could honestly change the way you run your business and the RESULTS you get in your business from this moment on.

Have you heard of Melanie Benson Strick, the million dollar lifestyle business coach and queen of leverage?

After creating a thriving 6-figure business, Melanie got stuck. She was working her butt off and she wanted to reach the million dollar mark (or even high 6-figures) but she simply couldn't fit any more work into her schedule.

She was burnt out, overwhelmed and utterly exhausted. And, she had no idea how to breakthrough.

So, she started observing high 7-figure earners and began picking their brains and learning their strategies for creating a truly successful and even enviable lifestyle business.

What happened shortly after that went beyond even her greatest expectations.

She began earning a LOT more money, enjoying much more freedom in her life, helping significantly more people in less time AND helping them achieve serious RESULTS more
quickly.

Not only did she dramatically improve her lifestyle and her bottom line, but in the process she discovered a proven, repeatable system that anyone can use to put more time, freedom, meaning and money back into their business and their life.

And now Melanie is going to share these 7 steps with you in a new teleseminar: "7 PROVEN Steps for Doubling - or even Tripling - Your Income, Serving More People in Less Time, and Putting More Freedom Back Into Your Life...Guaranteed!"

It's happening THURSDAY March 5th at 5pm PST.

Melanie and her biz partner Shawn Driscoll are going to reveal the EXACT steps they have taken to create big BREAKTHROUGHS in their business and how you can do it too.

Here's how to sign up for these FREE calls

Melanie has never shared this specific process with anyone before so I know I'll be there, and I want to hear you on the line too, okay?

Will you join me?

I'll see you on the call!

PS: Feel free to forward this to your friends and associates, but know that spots are LIMITED on this call, so be sure to reserve YOURS first!

You go along, meet many new people, collect a TON of business cards, and then promptly put them to one side and never follow up with the contacts again!

What are you splurging on?

Yesterday I took my daughter to the nail salon to get her eyebrows and nails done. I didn't want to go in because I was tired and it was cold outside, so I sat in the car with the radio on. Next door to the nail salon was a liquor store. When we arrived at the nail salon, only one person was there. Only one other person came in for services after my daughter arrived and we were there for over an hour. The funny part is how many people I saw coming and going into the liquor store. The store was kept quite busy the entire time I was observing their foot traffic.

This made think that even though most people are watching where they spend their disposable income, many people were still holding onto their liquor allowance. I was wondering what other "allowances" they were holding onto still as well. For some people they can't let go of their morning lattes. For others they still want to clothes shop. For others they still want to go out to eat.

This is why you need to people watch. People are splurging on their wants regardless of the economy. It is up to you to figure out what their wants are and provide a product or service that meets those wants. I want more free time, even though I am in the business of saving people time. Guess what? I am splurging on extra help because I want to delegate as much as possible to others so that I can lounge around more with my family.

So...what are your target markets splurging on?
