“Creating your own brand” and increasing your value in the marketplace
is the ONLY way to stand out and build a business. It doesn’t matter what system,
opportunity or program you hook up with, it remains a fact.”
We are very focused on helping you actually develop your own products and become a full-fledged marketer.
Doing so leads to consulting, coaching and other monetization strategies that will allow you to stand on your own two feet.
Smart professionals create all sorts of products. They can be free ones; ones you charge for; reports; boot camps; eBooks… the list goes on.
If you’ve ever wondered why people don’t
care about what you offer and simply pass you by,
here’s a big reason why-
YOU aren’t in the equation, and without you in the equation, there is nothing unique about what you have to offer.
This is so very important and it could be exactly what you’re missing.
If this sounds like a lot. if creating your own product intimidates you, or if you’re brand new starting at point A…that’s okay.
It’s actually easier than you think when you have the right training and someone leading you from point A through the all steps.
Jerry Chen has four training tutorials that do exactly that.
His training inside Renegade Professional succinctly leads you
through the process of creating your own eBook.
It’s a great place to start.
His training, along with the process you will undergo as you participate in your own success, is the exact formula that will lead you from “smart beginner” to “smart professional.”
Here’s how you can get started right now. Read closely-
Renegade Professional and Jerry Chen are holding an eBook contest. The winner will receive custom-designed graphics so that your “grand opus” has the look and feel of a smart professional.
Watch a video (below) of Jerry Chen talking and demonstrating the importance of product creation and learn his “Easy Content Factory” method for product creation.
Now that you’ve watched the video, discover the details of
Renegade Professional’s eBook creation contest, and get started.
Just can’t stress enough that in order to move further faster, and become a Smart Professional who is seen as an attractive online leader, product creation is what it’s all about.
This is the beginning of our product creation roll-out. We’ll be emphasizing, supporting, partnering and leading with you as we move into this new era of the entrepreneurial collaboration and leadership.

Watch this 7 Minute Video to Learn about 3 “Can’t Miss”
Opportunities to Place Your Focus Over the Next Couple Weeks
Three Reasons Why Smart Beginners Operating Their Biz
on a Low Budget Should Tighten Their Focus, Bear Down and
Kick the Intensity Up a Notch!
This brief News post is about 3 things you can take part in (and we can all collaborate upon)
Any one of these three specific and ongoing events can significantly move you forward all by itself, but the combination of the three is a slam dunk, and I guarantee will significantly benefit you in many ways.
1). Smart Beginner training webinar series.
Over the next six or so weeks, I’ll guide you through core “must-have” fundamentals covering all the advantages of blogging, leverage points of internet marketing and the vitality in social media. 
Register for our next webinar this Thursday, March 11th. You can register with this web link https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/877915177
***later I will update this link to reflect the ongoing training***
Your commitment will be 70 minutes once per week plus you can use what you learn and apply it to creating your own eBook. More than anything, this is about attendance (Showing up is 80% of the battle – participation is the other 20%)
I’ll cover the Five Simple Strategies to Make Your Blog Attractive for Your Target Audience at our Thursday, March 11th 6 pm PST webinar.
2). Jerry Chen has what I believe is the an OVERLOOKED training series inside of Renegade Professional. He’s created a series of four tutorials that leads you through the creation of your own eBook.
Learn more about the eBook contest
An eBook can be a powerful branding tool, a free give-away, a low ticket product to sell, or any number of things. At the very least, the exercise will force you to put the audience you seek to connect with under the microscope. (that is a good thing 
)
Renegade Professional is holding a contest to spotlight this terrific training. One person will win free custom-designed graphics for their eBook.
Read the announcement about the Renegade Professional eBook Contest. This article will tell you everything–
Renegade Professional eBook Contest
Your commitment will be approximately two weeks of consistent, semi-daily practice so you finish and APPLY what you learn with Jerry Chen
3). Join the Conversation with Mike Klingler at his FB page.
I know for a fact that Mike is going to be “hanging his hat” at his Facebook Page, and using these discussion threads as a means to teach you all the things he’s quietly been learning and observing the last few months. 
You’re going to want to “hang around” the Discussion forums to glean wisdom, apply what you learn, and join both this conversation and the awesome community supporting it.
Your commitment is as much or as little as you like. Some days you might spend an hour or more. While other days, 20 minutes
Let’s Review–
1. How-to stay super connected with Renegade Professional News
2. Smart Beginner Training
3. Creating Your own eBook
4. Joining the Discussion at Mike’s page
5. Don’t miss the BIG News Below
Often times if you can carve out a short period of relative intensity toward your efforts over the course of two weeks, four weeks and/or six weeks, I guarantee you the mini-burst can provide you significant progress.
The kind of progress where you look back from where you are now, to where you will be, and be on top of your goals.
Ask your questions, share your thoughts, explain your ideas both in the comment section here and at Mike’s Facebook Page.

Oh By the Way! I Just Received an Email
from Mike Klingler that He Wanted Me to Relay
Hey Eric,
In case I don’t see you at the office today, I am super-confident that we can let something out of the bag… Go ahead and tell everyone at Renegade Professional News that we’re going to have another Live Event in June.
I don’t have many more details than that… Tell them that when we know, we’ll let them know. More than anything, I want our community to have it on their radar screens.
We had such a great time at our Live Event in January that I want to immediately make this opportunity open to others. Hope to see more familiar faces.
Another thing I realized is that if we’re going to really lead this entrepreneurial movement, then we’re going to have iterate these live events often.
So not sure what you can do with all this. I just want everyone to know we’re shooting for another Live Event in June.
Thanks,
Mike

Honestly…it was a great time in January. But I also think their is something to be said for scarcity and yearly events, etc….My initial feeling, even though I loved the live event
, is that it’s too soon to replay and that it may not have the same impact, nor the same type of crowd…I know that I’ve got it on my schedule again for January 2011..and looking forward to it. Just my 2 cents…could be wrong. 
Peace and Abundance,

Hi, Mike (and Eric)-
You know, when I met both of you at the live event in Portland (not being involved with network marketing) I barely knew who you were…how I came to be there is a long story…but just say that it was a spur-of-the moment, “just have a feeling I should do this” decision not based on anything but a vague but respectful awareness of Anne Sieg and a gut instinct that you all had something really valuable to offer.
Pretty much also the story of my fast and furious entry into the Renegade world a few months ago…and what great decisions those were…it just goes to show that sometimes you really do see something you’ve never seen – it just makes so much sense that’s the logic is undeniable – and going with it can change your life for the better.
I’m still in the cocoon when it comes to being a Renegade and establishing an automated online business (my goal)but everything I’m learning at Renegade Professional and in Coaching Cognition is actually helping me do, be, think and communicate better in my business and personal life.
Meeting the people and absorbing such sheer inspiration threw the switch in Portland and ever since I’ve been buzzing (not in a getting electrocuted sort of way) but in the sense of making incredible progress. It’s like I see everything in a new light. I’ve reorganized the way I do my current business, completely revamped my office, and found new partners (now that I know what a JV is.)
I credit going to the Live Event as the start of it all, because it proved that what you’re saying is real and somehow gave me the confidence to break out of my self-created rut and go for it. Now I’m charting out a framework for my first eBook and I’m looking forward to going through the training on that. I suddenly feel completely confident that I can do this. Believing creates achieving, right?
Anyway, aside from being a rousing endorsement of your live events, great people and teaching methods, this is also a request that you consider holding future events on the East Coast. I’d really like to be able to attend more!

@Laurel Underwood,
WOW! What great words that warm all of our hearts here in Portland and make us want to continue to (over) deliver. This is the kind of thing that makes us totally love what we do.
And you are good, that little touch at the end about holding future live events on the East coast is compelling to say the least.
Thank you Laurel for commenting the News. Come back often and keep us abreast of your success.
Eric

@ Deborah — We’re not planning on designing this event the same way. In fact, we’re going to model more of what we did on Monday (the day after many left the Live Event but where some remained for ‘the circle’ sit down)… That’s when we really made some progress because we were able to look at people’s sites, blogs, social media content, lead captures, etc and help them uniquely.
We’re going to take everything we learned at the first live event and make this one even better.
It won’t be for everyone, or necessary for everyone–but remember, for every person you saw there in January, there were at least 5 more who wished they could have made it.
Likely we won’t allow as many at this next one…
But we’ve already had a lot of people say they’re coming so its definitely a need. If not, we wouldn’t do it!
It was great getting to meet you guys there and looking forward to meeting more of you, and seeing some of you again!
Mike

@Laurel, thank you for sharing that.
I really love what you said here as it gets to the core of why we’re doing this again (for those who couldn’t make the first one):
“Meeting the people and absorbing such sheer inspiration threw the switch in Portland and ever since I’ve been buzzing (not in a getting electrocuted sort of way) but in the sense of making incredible progress. It’s like I see everything in a new light. I’ve reorganized the way I do my current business, completely revamped my office, and found new partners (now that I know what a JV is.)”
Thanks for sharing!

You know, Eric, it doesn’t matter if one is just beginning or a seasoned marketer, what you are offering is great for all. It helps us to focus on what is important to get results rather than get caught in the mire of information overload.

Greetings fellow Renegades!
It’s really exciting to see that more live events are in the works.
When I was reading Deborah’s comment, I was initially agreeing with what she was saying… the idea that a large style event seems to be best suited for a once a year or twice a year occasion.
But since Mike let loose with some info. on how future events might be structured, I can definitely see the value of having smaller events (almost like a workshop type of set-up) more frequently throughout the year, and possibly taking place in different locations each time.
These types of workshop events structured throughout the year would continually give newer Renegades, who might be getting their feet wet for the first time in learning how to build a business online, the chance to attend a live event much sooner than the once a year occasion and make the experience of online business building much more real to them.
I think everybody can agree on this one, that the power of bridging the gap between online interaction and in-person interaction can’t be overstated.
For many individuals, this is what cements the whole deal for them… that by building a business online you are indeed building tangible relationships in the real world.
Just wanted to share my thoughts on something that I feel is very important!
Take care everyone,
Patrick

@ Pat, we’re leaning toward June 26th and 27th with people arriving on Friday — and Sunday will be a half day so people can connect up afterward and get back home Sunday evening.
This will be more of a work shop like we did with 10 people here in Portland office after January main Live event had ended. It was powerful!
@ Kevin and Patrick, right on!
Mike

I was not able to make the event in January, so am looking forward to the next one – glad I don’t have to wait a full year!
Have you thought of holding an event in a different location, like the middle of the country? It would make it a little easier for people on the east coast. Wherever you have it, it is well worth the trip, just thought that it might be nice to nice it around sometimes.

When making plans for the June event, I am hoping you will consider having it on a Wed-Fri or Sun-Wed. I am unable to attend Saturdays but would love to come.

I think it is interesting that we are using the word “community” more and more – as in “The Renegade Community.” This is a good thing on so many levels. For one thing it is a true representation of what takes place. The Renegade Professional isn’t just about training, even if that is what might draw many people to the site for the first time. Even though that may have been the original vision for the site.
We know that the site has evolved and will continue to to so. But the aspect of community has taken a life of its own! Mike’s leadership in all of this is amazing. Have you considered how unlike other gurus Mike is? While firmly in control of his vision, he fearlessly promotes, encourages, and spotlights the members. As does his close associates.
I have written an extensive article about the way in which online “communities” can foster collaboration, focusing on The Renegade Professional as an example.
I would invite you to read it, rate it, and comment upon it.

Go ahead and register for next Thursday’s Smart Beginner Training webinar focused on blogging
.
UPDATED- Live “Smart Beginner” training webinar
resumes this Thursday, March 11 at 6 p.m. PT. (9 ET.)
Whether you’re starting your blog from scratch (or restarting), or wanting to energize an existing blog, this webinar will discuss five strategies (actually it’s ten strategies that strategically work together) that will make your blog attractive for your target audience.
Register now for Five (actually Ten) Simple Strategies to Make Your Blog Attractive for Your Target Audience
Real life examples included, along with fresh new content that you can apply to your business immediately. At the same time, this webinar points toward Renegade Professional training you may have overlooked, or not utilized in a holistic and synergistic approach.
Or for those of you who are brand new or not yet upgraded to Renegade Professional, this will get you super focused on the right track for the creation of your own blog (the smart and fun way).
Keep reading to learn what other people had to say
about the last Smart Beginner training webinar we did two weeks ago.
Over 600 of you registered for our Smart Beginner Training webinar last week. In case you missed that one, we dissected one person’s online accent using Renegade Professional’s training, along with her passion to quickly go from zero internet presence to ten leads per day.
Here’s what some of you had to say about our first Smart Beginner Training webinar:
Eric, is THIS what Mike Klingler has taught you since being in Portland?
Because to me, your webinar on this subject last night was on par with the best of Mike Klingler’s webinars, where he shares thoughts that really hit home, with gems that excite and bring ideas: passionate ideas! Thanks Eric… I’m glad you delivered for the all the people I invited to the Smart Beginner webinar.
###
I thoroughly enjoyed last night’s webinar. The info you provided has given me a clearer understanding of what marketing on the Internet really involves. That dedication and focus you spoke of is something that we all must have, along with a massive dose of commitment. Thanks so much, Eric, for the Smart Beginner series of trainings!
###
After the first session last Thursday night, I immediately used your specific search strategy to find blogs in my niche. While previous searches had only produced advertisements, this time following your instructions yielded several relevant blogs. You’re a great teacher! I look forward to next Thursday night.
Did You Miss Last Thursday’s First Smart Beginner Training?
That webinar has been recorded, and will make its way into the Renegade Professional back office soon. We’ll let you know when it’s back there.
If you missed the webinar, and really anxious to watch it, I suggest that you follow this link to watch a similar version I recorded a couple weeks ago. Watch that recorded training now
Our Next Smart Beginner Training Webinar Will Be Thursday, March 11 (Register Below)
You can register now for our upcoming Smart Beginner Training webinar on Thursday, March 11. We’re taking a week off because Mark Hoverson’s Leadership Branding for Direct Response webinar will occur at the same time. We know that is a conflict for some of you.
Five Simple Strategies to Make Your Blog Attractive for Your Target Audience
Register for this webinar now –> Five Simple Strategies to Make Your Blog Attractive for Your Target Audience
We’ll pick up where we left off with a training webinar centered on Blogging. Using the Renegade Professional training that teaches how to set up a blog with SquareSpace as our foundation (or Wordpress), I’ll get specific about how to generate loyal, regular visitors beginning with your first month of launching your blog.
We’ll discuss why your blog isn’t really a business. It’s like everything else you’re doing online, it’s a strategy for marketing and/or branding yourself.
In other words, your blog doesn’t make money, your business makes money. Your blog isn’t the product or service, your business is the product or service.
Your blog is free, and free doesn’t make you money. Yet “free,” as in free, pure valued based content that speaks directly to your audience is critical for generating attraction (and business).
We’ll talk about these things and more.
Blogging takes a little hustle, but it’s all worth it when you know the specifics. We’ll make sure you new bloggers are reaching the audience they intend to. Intermediate bloggers may learn a thing or two as well.
Once again, here is that link for you to register for next Thursday’s Smart Beginner Training webinar.

P.S. Having a hard time finding your niche, or having a hard time marketing your niche?
Both problems will stymie the best of internet business intentions.
Inside the Renegade Professional training, there is one tutorial called Marketing 101: Choosing Your Niche. It was created by Ann Sieg and it comes with a PDF checklist/guide sheet for you to follow along with. This 57 minute training, alone, is worth the cost of many months at Renegade Professional – easily.

Awesome webinar last week Eric. I can’t wait for next weeks webinar.
Keep up the great work. It’s greatly appreciated. You really put me on the right track last week.

As I am in the process of creating a new blog as we speak, this will be a very timely subject for me.
I like the emphasis that the blog is not the money maker. I like the emphasis that I or the blogger is the money maker in providing the solution for what their niche is looking for.
It makes sense to me that as we teach Internet Marketing with success, we are in fact able to demonstrate that success by the number summaries of our businesses generated from…the relationship at the blog.
I’ll be there on the 11.

Hi Professionals,
About making my Blog more attractive: looking forward to this! On a side note…I tried Absolute Links Plugin, and Broken Links Remover for my WordPress blog…but when I put the url in a Link Checker one blog is fine but the other has all broken links (except for the .jpg pictures). Does anyone know of some way to fix it myself? Must I fix them one at a time?
Thank you for any help, especially if you’ve dealt with this problem and found a solution

So when people ask what you do, what do you say? “I am a network marketing distributor?” “I’m an independent marketer?” “I’m a teacher?” etc.
How about “I wrote a book called ‘The Top 7 Secrets You Must Know Right Now To Live Your Dream Life?’ or something more creative, but you get the point.
What am I talking about?
I’m talking about writing a simple eBook or report that will help you gain instant credibility.
It’s nothing “new” to most of us who have been at internet marketing and blogging for awhile, but I think it’s safe to say that 95% of us have never even TRIED to write an ebook.
But it’s definitely something to consider!
You see, when you are an author, people tend to automatically put you at an elevated position.
This can give you tremendous leverage to attract more qualified prospects.
So what will make your ebook stand out or flop (besides practice)?
Here are a Few Tips for Writing your eBook that
You Will Find Meaningful and Helpful
–Your ebook should address the problems, concerns, or desires of your well-defined target market. You should be doing this anyway if you’re going to market online, especially when creating a blog. If you’re vague, or fluffy your ebook won’t work.
–Your ebook should be an extension of the relationship you’ve already created with your audience, or if you haven’t created a meaningful relationship with an audience yet, that’s okay, use your ebook to do so. This exercise alone will get you crystal clear on who you want to attract, and what you want to say to them when you do.
–If you’re planning on selling your ebook, be sure that the cost of the content will provide an exceptional return on investment for buyers. Like at least 10 times the amount. Have example proof of this. If you’re giving it away for free, the same is true!
“But I Have No Idea How to Write an Ebook!” (eek)
Don’t worry, Renegade Professional has you covered.
Jerry Chen, a Renegade Professional trainer, has created a video series that is located in your Renegade Professional back office.
If you’re already a Renegade Professional, log into your backoffice to find these 4 video tutorials that Jerry has created. Then you can easily click the links I’ve provided below for quick access:
Mind Map Your Way to Accelerated Profits
Mind Map Your Way to Accelerated Profits II
Create Your Professional Looking PDF
Create Your Professional Looking eBook
Or when you login to your back office and from the main menu, click the icon that says Trainers. You’ll come to a new page. Scroll down to find Jerry Chen.
Here’s is what Cindy Murphy, a Renegade Professional
had to say about Jerry’s eBook tutorials—
This is a perfect example of a video testimonial that you would submit to win the free custom-designed graphics after you have gone through Jerry’s training in your Renegade Professional back office.
Renegade Professional & Jerry Chen Are Holding an Ebook Contest
Okay, truth moment… Are you ready because this is scandalous?
We are on a mission to help people create their own products.
There, I said it, and now the cat is out of the bag. But it’s true (and not so scandalous). Renegade Professional would like to support you in creating your own products, and we’re starting with a simple ebook (because we have all the necessary training).
We see this as our responsibility to help you develop yourself to the next level. It also reflects the direction that we’re moving as a company in this Era of the Entrepreneur.
The fact is that every part of your eBook can be a sales and credibility tool. We want you to be successful, and we have the training in our back office.
Now, read the guidelines below to enter the contest.
Oh wait! Every contest must have a prize. In case you’re not sure who Jerry Chen is, he’s the creator of Build a Magnetic Network. He’s super connected to very important and successful people. He has a “custom-designed graphics guy” and the winner of this contest will get free custom-designed graphics for their eBook.
eBook Contest Guidelines & Criteria
1) You must be an upgraded member of Renegade Professional.
2) We’ll set up a special e-mail to collect contestant information (i.e ebookcontest@marketingmerge.com). The contest starts immediately. You have until April 1st, 2010 to submit your work. We will not accept anymore contestants after April 1st.
3) The ebook’s table of content needs to have at least 6 chapters. Steps on how to do this is in the tutorial video #1.
4) An actual mind-map created from Bubbl.us. Send us the screen capture of the minmap. Steps on how to do this is in the tutorial video #2
5) Have Open-office downloaded and set up. Steps on how to do this is in the tutorial #3
6) Have a PDF ebook compiled (doesn’t need to be finished). Steps on how to do this is in the tutorial #4.
7) eBook needs to be at least 50% written (by chapters). So if you have 10 chapters planned out, you need to have five of the chapters written.
8) Video testimonial uploaded to your own Youtube account with the headline, “Renegade Professional eBook Contest with Jerry Chen” and a link back to this page.
9) Once this criteria is met, Jerry and Eric will work together in a timely fashion to select the eBook winner. (Hint – the narrower the niche, the better the eBook).
Put You in the “Business Equation” – Create Your Own eBook
Still feel like you haven’t put it all together? Wondering what you’re missing?
Often times it’s You! That’s one of the reasons why we’re holding this contest, to encourage you to utilize Jerry Chen’s Four Part Training inside Renegade Professional to create your own eBook.
In essence, we’re urging you to put “you” into your business equation! This is our next step at Renegade Professional, and that is to facilitate, lead, guide and support you in the process of creating your own products (free products and products that you charge for).
Wondering what the creation of your own eBook has to do with you and your business?
Because this is how you create attraction. Plain and simple.
And you either create your own information product (like an eBook) to generate more leads, or to make more money, often both (and the two certainly go together).
Jerry’s excellent video ran through several examples of successful internet business people. Creating your own products (putting YOU into the equation) is how business works.
By far, taking the necessary steps that Jerry provides in his four part training series at Renegade Professional to experience the process of creating your own product will be one of the most essential steps in your business.
Smart beginners can do this. Anyone and everyone can take part in this training to create their own eBook.

I’m really excited how this has come together.
One of the biggest missing ‘holes’ in people’s unfulfilled dream boards is they don’t have a product of their own to lead with.
I have spent some time recently on facebook and hubpages discussing this and plan to follow it up with training in the back office, but Jerry you beat me to it! This is a great contribution to help people start filling that missing piece.
And Cindy, what a great example for others who share after getting a benefit from a product. You took it to a whole new level and educated while you did so! Wow. Pillar examples.
Can’t wait to see this reach the community. Put it on my fan page, profile page, twittered it… got an email planned for 60,000+ this week!
Moving the industry forward one important step at a time.
What a great step this is. On behalf of the entire community, thank you!

@Mike Klingler,
I concur about Cindy leading the way as a great example.
You referenced your activity at HubPages, and I want to link to that so others can read a “Grand-Opus” in the making. I encourage everyone to read it and leave a comment (I did): http://hubpages.com/hub/The-Marketing-Equation-See-It-Solve-It-Simple
And if you’re rather new, or what we call a “Smart Beginner” create your HubPages profile, and get started then come back here and share what you’ve created.
I love HubPages. One of my favorite platforms to create value. Definitely part of the Power 5 you’ve begun to speak of.

Short comment…
The video is a great introduction and challenge relative to the contest and to the ongoing process we must pursue as internet marketers: i.e. the pursuit of excellence…
Step by step,
Learning and growing,
And continually advancing in our efforts.I will look forward to the dates and to the related emails, information, etc.
Thanks again,

Thank you to everyone and I really do love this community. Now, If I could just get my next video “About Cindy” up on youtube, I will be happy. It took an hour to upload and then I clicked off the wrong tab, which was the Youtube upload and now I have to start all over again. Good thing there are 24 hours in a day.
I am so excited about my next venture too. Just set up my new Fan Page and have uploaded some more short videos for my Heritage Maker’s business too.
2 new blogs, fan page, ebook in the works and a great community. Life is grand.
Have a wonderful day,
Cindy

Jerry,
Just a short note to thank you for your videos. I just completed watching the ones on creating ebooks.
Thanks for your effort to make them user friendly!
Enjoy what is left of the week,

As someone who recently produced an ebook, I have to say that Jerry’s tutorials were very helpful. I won’t enter the contest because I already had a graphic artist produce an ebook cover for me (so I want someone else to have the chance to win that), but I want to encourage everyone to get on the ebook bandwagon. Its a tremendous way to build your credibility and your list, and if you make it a paid product, build your income.

@Jerry, I won’t be left behind on this one. I went yesterday for a photo shoot, have some titles and subtitles drafted.
Loved @Cindy’s video, and this w/e am going thru your videos which I know I am going to soak up like a dry thirsty sponge.
It’s great to be challenged!
Mike asked me a couple of years ago about creating an Ebook and it seemed daunting to me.
At the Live Event, I announced that intent, and now more steps are made towards the reality of the book.
Thanks to all of you for your encouragements.

Just a short note…
It turned out today that I am using that Mind Mapping resource like crazy today. I have used one other resource before, but I am finding this to be easier for me and it allows captures the “idea flow” quicker for me than what I have used previously.
Now all I have to do is write that book, lol!
So, thanks for the resource. Super.

Mike Klingler here.
As most of you already know, I’ve been studying social media marketing for over 2 years with tremendous success.
And I’ve committed much of my time to teaching what I’ve learned.
Now, the next chapter!!!
Over the last several months I’ve found some new ways to leverage what I like to call “The Power 5″ social media locations to accomplish even more with less time. It’s exciting stuff.
To show and tell, in the style of teaching I love to do, I’ll be doing what I teach at my business Fan Page at Facebook, which is one of these Power 5 locations (this is different from the personal Face book page where you probably follow me at now).
I’ll be showing you how to use the Facebook business pages to duplicate what I’ve learned with less time.
Follow what I’m doing at Facebook business pages so you can stay connected to this next phase of my teaching cirriculum. What I do here will connect with my next version of training at Renegade Professional.
Click to become a fan and follow the process over next few months.
By the way, if you’d like to be able to talk with me, now you can. Ask me your question at the Discussions Area once becoming a fan.
Partners in success,
Mike Klingler

HI Mike! I shared this comment in your Fan Page Discussion but wanted to share it here too…
Funny, I teach about the “Big 4″ but the Fan Page is something that I have been contemplating with for months… Here’s my post:
“Hi Mike! This is sooo cool! THANK YOU for taking the initiative and leading the way to educate the community re the benefits of a Fan Page. I for one have contemplated the idea of a fan page for a few months now but here are the 2 biggest reasons I haven’t moved forward with creating one:
1) I can’t get over the idea of me inviting people to “Become My Fan”… why can’t it just be “Let’s Learn From Each Other” or something?
I know it’s a rather shallow excuse but I guess my #2 reason is is really what has been stopping me and that is,2) I already have to consciously limit my time for my social media mktg efforts, especially now that I am in product and course creation mode. I am already having a bit of a challenge making time to build and foster my relationships on my personal FB profile that to add another page – a Fan Page- where I really have to be consistently “present” and maintain makes me a bit nervous that one of them might suffer from lesser TLC…
One of my mentors ( soon to launch a book am co-authoring with her) Social Media Expert Mari Smith, is a huge advocate of Fan Pages and that’s what prompted me to seriously consider it.
I know sooner or later, I have to do it since I have so much I would like to teach and share as far as how to use technology and Relationship or Relational Marketing to grow ones business!
I am all eyes – and ears – to what you’re doing! I continue to learn immensely from you and I absolutely trust your direction and pioneering spirit!
In Gratitude,
Emma

Fundamentally, you can’t be your internet super-self and win big with your Internet business without putting yourself out their ten-fold (100-fold) first.
That’s the name of this internet business money making game (or whatever endeavor it is).
The fact of the matter is this: You have to absolutely be omnipresent with the thing you know best.
That is the ONE game changer. The X factor.
The problem is that most people think that has to be really big. No, it can be small and super targeted like “Home Birth Preparation Kits” or “Short Sales in San Jose” small.
Or another thing is people get caught up asking about how to monetize first, and do everything with wrong intentions because they’re just walking through the motions uninspired in an attempt to make money.
This is what I mean, and I’ll use an analogy to explain that ONE game changing element I’m talking about here …
It’s not about being the car salesman. nope.
It’s not about selling luxury cars. nope.
It’s not even about selling BMWs. no. It has to go even closer than that.
It’s about selling BMW mufflers for the V10-powered version of the E60 5 Series.
See what I am saying here…?
So your specialty has to be at the razors edge.
It has to be at the lowest and closest level. It’s that spot,
so sweet a spot that there is no way you lose.
At the same time, whatever “that” is has to make your heart sing. Or you won’t last the entire race it takes to finish, let alone win.
Because everywhere else, you’re just like everyone else.
You’re a blogger, so is everyone else.
You’re in network marketing, so is everyone else.
You sell BMW’s, so does everyone else.
But when you find that sweet spot, your one
and only little golden nugget,that’s where you relish.
That’s where you can play the game you were meant to play.
That’s where you nail your niche.
And this is the toughest thing I see people struggle with. I have so hard a time trying to convey it people.
Because I know first hand how difficult that can be to do.
I know first hand how badly you want to succeed, earn a full time income with a home based internet business. Oh I know.
And damn! Don’t we want the world NOW! We can’t wait. We can’t slug through tutorials and learn all these platforms. It’s like, where are the answers; where are the directions?!
The directions are what I’m saying here, what you’re reading right now.
You first have to really go that low to the ground. I mean roll up your sleeves and stick your hands in the dirt low to the ground.
And you really do, in some cases, have to wait that long to get there. I’m talking 6-24 months long. If you’re not willing to go that distance then you don’t love what you do, and you’re not supposed to do it anyway.
If you’re only doing your MLM or your blog or whatever it is because there is an onslaught of bills and overdue notices, and you just got laid off … then I understand that your need is real; your financial situation is real … But if you’re out there on the internet starting at ground zero in desperation mode, you won’t be magnetic.
And I know this sounds all Law of Attraction-like, but it’s true, you won’t be emanating attraction; you won’t be creating magnetism. Instead, you’ll repel people.
Just can’t say enough about the need to be as sharp as a knife, cutting edge, bleeding edge focused on that sweet spot. That’s also why it has to make your heart sing and be in complete alignment with your core values.
When you get that part, and drink your hustle juice with it, you’ll succeed with whatever your internet business is. Guaranteed.

All Around Good Guy!
P.S. Having a hard time finding your niche, or having a hard time marketing your niche?
Both problems will stymie the best of internet business intentions.
Inside the Renegade Professional training, there is one tutorial called Marketing 101: Choosing Your Niche. It was created by Ann Sieg and it comes with a PDF checklist/guide sheet for you to follow along with. This 57 minute training, alone, is worth the cost of two months at Renegade Professional – easily.
Upgrade to Renegade Professional now, if anything, to simply access this training. My hunch is tho, if you’re like anyone else, you’ll find so much more to move your internet business forward.

Eric, is THIS what Mike Klingler has taught you since being in Portland?!
Because to me, your webinar on this subject last night was on par with the best of Mike Klingler’s webinars, where he shares thoughts that really hit home, with gems that excite and bring ideas: passionate ideas!
Thanks Eric… I’m glad you delivered for the all the people I invited to the Smart Beginner webinar.

Hey Eric,
I totally agree. Success happens when you are fully focused on that one thing you are creating. You also, have to feel it and have the patience. Approaching it from a needy position of – it has to start working and create results right now – will only create frustration.
I recently read an email by someone who said “I have been into it for 20 days already and have no results, can you tell me what I need to do so that I generate some leads and get some proof that this really works?”
That’s totally the wrong attitude and the wrong questions a smart beginner should be asking.
There are hundreds and even thousands of great examples in our Renegade community and if you just give yourself, time, willingness to explore your options and find the niche that best fulfills your passion, and work hard, consistently and with good intentions realizing it’s not going to happen over night… than you will see results as well.
I am glad that you referred to Ann Sieg’s tutorial as well inside Renegade Pro about finding your niche…It’s definitely a great place to begin.
I would have to correct you though, because I think that it’s value (for just this one tutorial) is so much more than a couple of months of in Rpro…because if you get it, and if you are open to benefiting from it…you will have a guarantee that you are starting in the right direction online, and that is priceless.

You mentioned that there was a possibility that next Thursday’s webinar might be on a “rain delay”. I hope not…

Hi Eric,
People seem to think that if they narrow their focus too much they will miss out on some prospects.
They just haven’t done the math:
If you target one percent of 400,000,000 you have a market of 4,000,000.
If one percent of your market is interested you have 400,000 potential propects.
Take one percent of them and you get 40,000 prospects.
I’m pretty sure that with a list of 40,000 you can get something going.
It comes down to this, Do you want to be a small fish in a big lake or a big fish in a small pond?

I am new to Renegade Professional but have a great leader in Marie Leonard.
Marie and I met last year at a health conference and clicked immediately.
After spending almost $40,000 on websites in the past 15 years, I came to realize that they were nothing more than glorified brochures.
I’m still morphing into what my new business is, but I do know that I have a passion for business/entrepreneurs and helping women either start an at-home business, or helping them to grow their existing business online. Empowering women to become successful is an absolute passion of mine!
I know that all of my past experience is leading me to this particular business opportunity and niche market, and look forward to putting into practice the things I am learning through Renegade Professional.
Looking forward to great things in 2010!

Hi Eric,
Didn’t get a chance to listen to your webinar Thursday because was putting what you’ve been talking about into action, giving my own webinar.
How empowering to know that you are helping people “get it”. I’m hooked! My new partner, Jan, is invaluable, a go getter and ready to put in the time to make our new venture together, the success it is now and will become more so in the future.
Life is GOOD!

Thanks so much, Eric, for the Smart Beginner series of trainings!
After the first session last Thursday night, I immediately used your specific search strategy to find blogs in my niche. While previous searches had only produced advertisements, this time following your instructions yielded several relevant blogs.
You’re a great teacher! I look forward to next Thursday night.
THANKS!

I watched the webinar and Eric, you did a great job showing each participant the steps from discovering your niche, through to creating a business opportunity.
The example you used with Http://bringbirthhome.com shows the end result of the relationships built through Kaitlin’s journey in marketing through Renegade Pro.
As @Michael points out in his math, getting narrow in marketing works.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for reminding everyone about the importance of finding your niche. As you know, helping others find their ideal niche is my passion and focus as a coach.I can’t tell you how many entrepreneurs rush ahead marketing themselves online without setting this foundation for their success. If you don’t nail your niche, you will end up spending a lot of time working hard with little results.
As I explain in my free report, “Ten Steps to Finding and Attracting Your Ideal Niche, you have to answer the 3 W’s: You have to know WHO you’re marketing to, WHAT solution you will provide, and WHY they should do business with you.
Something magic happens when you put these pieces of the puzzle together. You are connecting with a specific group of people who you can genuinely help. They can not only find you through all the “noise”, but they actively seek you out.
Thanks and warm wishes,

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the advice.
I watched a few short videos and was quite inspired. I look forward to continuning down this road with my partner, Marie.
We are starting a nice inexpensive “blog” as our online presence. I feel like such a dummy for not knowing this kind of stuff before.
Time to start sharing and then empowering women to take charge online.
Wooo hoooo!!!

@Jan Walker Pinnington,
Well if you’re partnered up with Marie, you are no dummy (I highly doubt you were ever a dummy).
Blogs don’t have to be expensive, that’s for sure. In fact, they start out just about free, and perhaps over a little time once the content is filled in, then you might consider paying a designer to make it look especially pretty and in-line with your brand. But that’s certainly not the first step.

How to Go from Zero to 10 Leads Per Day
Register now tonight’s webinar (Thursday, February 25th) by following this link https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/643915729 (Webinar is over. Join us next Thursday)
What We’re Doing
As you may or may not know, we’re hosting weekly Smart Beginner training webinars for Renegade University students and New & Overwhelmed Renegade Professionals every Thursday.
The main objective is to help those who need and want it move forward with their internet business using the expansive Renegade Professional training.
This is like a major initiative. We’re putting a lot of effort into these Smart Beginner webinars, but I felt there was something missing. So I thought I’d throw a little something more into the mix.
That’s when I came up with the “Personalized Smart Beginner Marketing Plan.”
Not sure what a “Smart Beginner” is… read this article. We like to focus on guiding and helping Smart Beginners.
What You Get, How to “Play” & a Couple Rules
What You Get
You will get a Personalized “Smart Beginner” Marketing Plan.
This Personalized “Smart Beginner” Marketing Plan will be awarded to TWO people after each Smart Beginner training webinar – one current *Renegade University student and one current Renegade Professional member.
Here’s the official verbiage –
You get an hour long session with me, Eric Walker (Smart Beginner Coach). I’m going to determine the THREE top leverage points that are personalized to you that you can do – beginning tomorrow – to focus and hone-in your marketing.
After the three leverage points are determined, I’m going to use those three points to create a customized marketing strategy for just for you. Give me 48 hours, and I will email it to you as a PDF you can immediately follow.
All in this from one hour long session.
Fine Print Details *Fine Print Details
*If you’re a Renegade University student when you are selected, you must first upgrade to Renegade Professional. Because the personalized marketing plan revolves around the Renegade Professional training, it’s a necessity that you have access to that training.
You also need to attend one (or all) of the Smart Beginner Training webinars. That makes sense, right? If I am going to choose two people AFTER EVERYONE SINGLE Smart Beginner training webinar I host, it makes sense that the person who receives the Personalized “Smart Beginner” Marketing Plan is on that actual webinar.
How to Play
It’s simple. You have options.
Make it known that you would like to receive the Personalized “Smart Beginner” Marketing Plan simply by stating so.
You can make it known that you would like to receive this Personalized “Smart Beginner” Marketing Plan by leaving a comment in the comments section or emailing me (or both).
I prefer that you leave a comment because I want the world to see the conversations that occur here. I think that helps everyone.
Include the following information:
1. Do you have a business? It’s okay if you don’t.
2. If you do have a business, how would you classify it?
You can choose from this short list:
a. Service Provider – you make money by providing services. You work with one person or business at a time.
b. Marketing Blogger – you make more money when you have more traffic. The more traffic you get to your site the better you do. Mostly you do well when eyeballs stay on your pages.
c. Coach or Consultant – you make money as a coach or consultant. For you, it’s more about building up your name (your brand).
d. Network marketer – you make money by signing more people into your deal. That’s the bottom line. You need lots of leads to do that.
e. Small Business/Home Business – you make money by selling more products.
3. What is your burning question?
I’ll say it again, if you don’t have a business, or a clue, that’s okay too.
There are specific things you can do to “dig your internet trench” that will help you once you do know what your business will be.

What a fantastic way to get started in your business. Everyone needs a marketing plan if you’re building a business online. Can you imagine building a house without an architect drawing up a plan? It’s the same for your business – you need a plan so you know what to do and when to do it.

Geez Eric, no comments yet? How about I get the ball rolling…I would like to get your insight to help get my marketing blog for my consulting brokerage site going. Ha! threw a curve ball at you didn’t I? My business is actually to facilitate the process for small businesses to find the resources they need. I collect a finders fee from the consultants I refer that get contracts, and I also collect affiliate commissions on products and services I promote. I mostly do article marketing but I have recently added a Squidoo lens and Facebook fan site. Looking forward to hearing from you! Patch

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for being the first one! I actually received a few at the temporary email
I set up to [smarterbeginner@gmail.com] but indeed, you’re the first commenter.One way or another we’ll give you some love.
I have gotten a fair amount of responses already and still going through them,
but wanted to acknowledge you, and say thank you. Stick with us throughout
these webinars on Thursdays, and be one of the consistent ones.Consistency is the key. No matter what.
Thanks Patrick, I will get back with you later this week, or if not, DO be on the
webinar and we’ll see if you’re the person who we choose.Either way, you made the first “smart beginner” move and that was to raise
your hand and be noticed. I noticed. That is a good thing.Of course, I have already heard about you anyway. Aren’t you involved with PBN?
We should connect.

Eric,
When I was first introduced to RU I was very excited to simply be learning some of the techniques. I upgraded to RP for several months and learned a lot but do to some personal issues I had to downgrade to RU again (looking to return this year).
When I was a RP member I ended up falling into the overwhelmed status and felt like I was jumping around from technique to technique…spinning my wheels and not going anywhere.
I joined an MLM business which I’ve put on hold until I get a better grasp of marketing it so I can generate the necessary leads.
These webinars sound like the answer I need to get back on track and start making traction instead of spinning wheels. I would love to be chosen for a personal session but I realize that won’t happen. I can’t attend the webinars because I work on Thursday nights.
I have 2 questions, first, will you record these webinars and make them available to people on the list for later viewing? Secondly, will webinars ever be done on Tuesday or Wednesday (my nights off)? Just wondering.
Thanks for all that you and the rest of the Renegade Professional staff do for us. I’ve learned a lot and the main thing I have learned is that there is sooo much more I need to learn.

Hey Eric,
Thank you for your hard work and offering us even more training. You guys at Renegade Pro rock!!I actually have two businesses but the burning question is the same for each.
I’m in a network marketing company with one of your friends Deborah Tutnauer and have my blog up and running.
I’m also in PBN and have a blog dedicated to marketing for Physical Therapy practices.
My burning question has been burning like a wild fire for so long and I can’t seem to get a good hold on it. That burning question is….traffic.
I won’t even say what a good day for me for traffic is because it’s pretty embarrassing.
A day with double digit traffic is unheard of. I need direction about how to devote my efforts.
I feel like I’m spinning my wheels because content, videos etc. that I produce has no audience anyway.
It’s like that last piece of the puzzle that I can’t find but without that piece nothing happens.
I’ll do whatever I need to do to increase my traffic but I’m pulling my hair out with guessing at this point.
Thanks so much Eric. Keep up the great work big guy.

This a blog that I had set up for me by McKay Earl. It is a wonderful site. I couldn’t believe what all they did for me, but I hate to admit that I have neglected it!. I am a member of Renegade Professional, but took a leave of absence since I am a full time Realtor
Now I plan to get right back. This site is the one I will use to attract NWMarketing builders, as opposed to customers.
I have joined everything associated with RP,for instance Mike’s My First List to Alicia’s Lead Conversion Kit. I want to become an affiliate for these. I would like direction on setting up my Marketing Plan
I am so thrilled that you set up this Beginner’s program, it will be very beneficial in finding our way around Renegade Professional. Thank you Ethel Black

Hi Eric,
This program is a great idea,and to be a smart beginner is to know when to get the help and the feedback you need.
Even if you’ve been doing this for awhile there is always something new to learn…and as you said,if you really want to learn this, if you want to own it, be consistent…
I think that everybody is going to be looking forward to this one!

Hi Eric,
I’m in Network Marketing and have a Marketing Blog to attract leads.
Now that I am starting to get leads it seems that I have spent too much time on leads generation and not enough time on my Marketing Funnel.
Your offer to let bashful marketers email is pretty cool, but I wonder, if someone is too shy to post a comment on a blog, are they really using Attraction Marketing?
Attraction Marketing is about putting yourself out there and making yourself known and blog comments are a good place to start.

Hi Eric,
Kristoperson here from the Philippines and have been shopping the internet to find the easy way out….But I lack focus though I am all fired at the beginning. When I see the internet already full of experts, I get discouraged and I say to myself that I am already out of the running and can’t cope up with them. Now Ive decided to settle, not rush things and follow thru with the plan with patience and learning how to say “NO”.. It doesn’t matter if I am behind or not as long as I will start to work now and I know Im headed to the right direction…..After all Ive seen, after I have paid $395 to the other online company for training, I can say that RPRO is the real deal….I am looking for guidance and I hope I can be the first to grab your hand for help…I am still thinking of a business but my priority now is to establish my online presence and learn how to market online and the business that I will choose will just follow in my own opinion. Thanks and have a great day….Comment by Kristoperson — February 24, 2010 @ 8:15 am

@Michael Cole,
You are correct about attraction marketing being about putting yourself out there. There is no way anyone will create attraction if they are exuding their magnetism which is most effective if it is aligned with their internal brand (that “thing” that really inspires them).
I fully agree, and you will notice that I will teach this in the webinars to come, that leaving comments and creating your own network is definitely a high priority Smart Beginner thing to do.
Thanks for your contribution here Michael. DO come back.

Renegade Professional training will definitely help you with the techy stuff. I’ll refer to specific Renegade Professional training that takes the tech-pains many feel when getting started out of the equation. But I’ll offer a path (a trail heading in the right direction if you will) that will give you daily action steps to take.
Don’t miss it. If you’re in EST time Canada, then the webinar will start at 9 p.m. for you.

@Matt Laporte,
Thank you for your very targeted and specific conundrum. I will address the specific example of Kaitlin Rose, who got started with Facebook, Twitter and just a profile at another social network site dedicated to her niche.
She had no website.
But what she did is network with specific people who were in her niche, and she only used Search to find those people. She also wrote content at her social network profile blog. One article in particular struck a nerve and received 500 comments.
She did this for about a month and a half – everyday.
And slowly, after leaving comments, friending people up, following people and seeming like she was omnipresent, she had a small, but dedicated following.
Then, she used Renegade Professional to build a wordpress blog, and wrote a 9 day follow up email series. She learned how to do all that with Aweber (Training inside of Renegade Professional on that too), and then…
Then, she announced to everyone that her blog was done, and they came to check it out. She was averaging around 100 visitors a day. This went on for another 30 days.
So now, she had Twitter, Facebook, her social network profile blog and her real blog.
Once she put her newsletter in place and got it all set up, she simply announced to her “following” only using Facebook and Twitter that it was ready.
The results? (well it’s only been two days -lol- but yesterday she had 10 subscribers and the day before that, 11). 21 leads in 2 days, not bad for a Smart Beginner who just got started in November.
Now it’s just a matter of building on that. And oh by the way, she also connected with a person in her niche in Australia who has a product, and they’re going to launch it together.
The point is that this example has universal application, and it’s exactly what I’m going to start our Smart Beginner series out with.

@Steve Tenerovich,
To answer your questions… Yes, they webinars will be recorded. Although they’re free now to all RU and RPro members, they will be placed inside of Professional in the future, so only upgraded Professionals will be able to access them.
We’ll run for the next consecutive six weeks or so (we might skip just one Thursday) exclusively on Thursday nights. Depending on the turnout, I’ll take a couple weeks break and then restart, and when we do, I’ll host the webinars on Tuesday to switch things up.
We aim to please, my friend.
I encourage you to re-upgrade to Professional, and get a steady-at-your-own-pace re-start. When you do, contact me and I’ll personally make sure you’re feeling good about getting going.

Thank you for this opportunity, Eric! I have done a number of trainings in Renegade Professional but have been away from it for a while. I’m enjoying my network marketing business, and am looking to attract more leads. There seem to be so many puzzle pieces in Renegade, which is wonderful – and I’m not sure how to fit the right ones together for my business. I’m looking forward to your webinars to get re-started.

I think that it is absolutely wonderful that the RPro team officials have decided to start the Smart Beginner webinars for everyone! I have been a member of Renegade Pro every since it was introduced to the public online though couldn’t quite decide what it was that I should get started with, which most importantly my sponsor was there to assist me. Thanks so much guys for coming up with Smart Beginner webinars and ALSO Renegade Pro because that was what I needed, and I think everyone involved in anything pertaining to business needs, which was getting leads to look at what you are offering on a day-to-day basis! I look forward to being on the webinar tomorrow and looking at 2010 being an awesome year for business!!

I`ve been in Ren Pro since April – but going nowhere. I listen , read – but cant really get started. As an ordinary MLM`er (category d)- I have not figured out yet what contents to go out with – that will really apply to those I want to reach. I need new input and start all over again.

Eric, I am glad you are doing this because there is soooo much great stuff & info at renegade professional and I know I can be successful, but I am overwhelmed by the amount of information and the steps to go through to reach my goals of creating a full time income, part time on the internet. I am into network marketing and online marketing and want to generate leads that convert to a sales team as well as market different products on the web in areas that interest me. I then want to help others learn how to be successful in this economy. I think the smart beginner webinars will help.

@James Street,
The Smart Beginner webinars will help you. It will help you focus on just one of those things you mentioned at a time. It will help you take on just one Renegade Professional training at a time with a genuine purpose and reason. I’ll really help you see the big picture and how you can use Renegade Professional’s training to help you with all that.

@Ase Pettersen,
The first thing I want to help you realize is that you are NOT an ordinary MLM’er. You are “Ase Pettersen” who is a real person who thinks, feels, breathes, loves and has passions and dreams like everyone else. The first step is finding that real person underneath the “ordinary MLM’er” and being comfortable with putting it “out there.” I’ll help show you how that can be done with the social platforms on the web like Twitter and Facebook (for starters), and then I’ll show you how Renegade Professional’s training teaches you how to use those social platforms in an authentic manner.
I am happy that you wrote “Spirit is still up.” Hope is a good thing, and good things don’t die. We’ll see you on the webinar tonight.

I could probably use your input about some of the things you’re seeing in the field (probably much of what I’m seeing too, but two eyes are always better than one). Seems like a real possibility that at the end of these webinars I start referring RPros to specific coaches that can help in specific areas.
Whatcha think?

First I wanted to say–YES, and Wow and Right ON! To Eric and everyone who is continually adding value to the community.
There is so much to come that is fundamentally at the base of all this–to facilitate YOU guys out there who are moving forward (and not just sell stuff to you that takes you one step forward at a time but doesn’t actually give you the framework to duplicate what Ann Sieg, Myself, Dillard and other ‘big-guns’ have gotten to do with larger budgets).
On a more relative note appropriate to this thread specifically–
I have always considered myself a Smart Beginner (as Eric has insight-fully coined the phrase)–and I likely will always consider myself a Smart Beginner, at least for as long as I’m still playing the game (meaning, learning how to give and receive more at the same time). I intend to always be learning.
Participation is key to learning!
Thanks to all who are plugged in ,growing and contributing!

@Brandon Potter,
Yes, sir. We do this because we love it. It’s our passion. So in terms of where to get started, I want to just relay this message because you said you were a RPro since the early beginning days. I have a teaching background, so it’s natural for me to want to teach, lead and be compassionate to anyone who puts forth an effort and wants it as much or more than my desire to teach them. That said, when I came aboard as a RPro in June of 08, I saw this quality in Mike Klingler. I said, Wow, there is a teacher who wants this more than me and has their act together and is pulling it off. In that respect, I gobbled up the tutorials not just for the step by step and click by click know-how to facilitate easy use of the social platforms, but it was to listen to what he was saying. Back then, my only access to Mike was via those tutorials. And that was my passion. Is it any wonder that now I share a beverage with him and talk about how we can lead this new movement of passion driven entrepreneurs? Nope.
Thanks for joining us tonight on the webinar.

Hello Eric, I will certainly follow your Smart Beginners although I became a RP last August. I took me some time to go through all the tutorials and to be overwhelmed like we all were I guess. I am Belgian, (Dutch mothertongue) I have a company and I am in MLM since a few years. I am creating my website (started beginning of this year), I am still working half time so it takes some time. But I will get there. Content creating is not my strongest point. I look forward to these webinars even with some delay, since I am on European time. Thanks Eric.

Looking forward to narrowing down and focusing on what works. I’ve been a member of Renegade Professional and U. for a couple of years. Attraction/direct marketing sidelines 10 or 15 years.

I am feeling badly that you are disappointed. I will connect with you via email or telephone.

@Paul Patton,
Awesome Paul. In our webinar today, I talked about the exact way to get more traffic, which is just another way to say eyeballs on your content. Keep in touch with us here at the News and let us know how it goes with your return to Professional.

Great job last night Eric. I learned some key points and strategies that are missing in my business right now. Can’t wait for the next webinar.
Have a great weekend big guy. -
Hi Eric,
Thanks for the great webinar last night. I joined Renegade Professional last year but I stopped viewing the video tutorials when I became a primary caregiver to my mother-in-law. Consequently, my learning process to become a successful net marketer was put on hold. I decided to return this year and I am overwhelmed as to where I should focus myself. Last night’s webinar opened my eyes that I have all the tools I need to learn at Renegade Professional. Using Kaitlan Rose’s achievement as an example was very inspiring.Comment by Laida — February 26, 2010 @ 3:52 pm

Both of the webinars so far have been very very helpful and I am so glad that they are recorded for review.
These tools as @Michael Wilson said will wonderfully complement the one on one trainings being offered by Renegade Professionals.
Great service Eric, great demonstration of the process and results.

@Pat Campbell,
Thank you Pat. I do feel that the best training does offer a mix of how-to, demonstration and results. Not always achievable, but the most effective. I’m glad you found it helpful.

I would love to be selected for a customized blueprint. Here’s my burning question. Is the customized plan available to purchase in case I’m not selected? I just signed up for Renegade University but haven’t even looked at anything yet. I woke up this morning, checked my email and saw one from RU so I clicked and it took me here. Looks really good. I’ll definitely sign up for the webinars and look around the site today. I’ve been messing around with the internet and would make the perfect poster child for buying and trying a lot of different things. I haven’t made my first dollar yet but have a lot of tax deductions LOL I’m 55 years old and lost my job. I’m starting over and need to learn a new ‘marketable skill. I can’t think of anything better than attraction marketing.

Really thank for your offering, your time and your heart! Yes I would like to receive the Personalized “Smart Beginner” Marketing Plan to grow my business online. I am a network marketer for quite a few years and only learned to build the biz offline. The progress is not so good as I expected. When I learned about attraction marketing (via the book Magnetic Sponsoring) 1.5 years ago, I am excited about the concept and started to do some online marketing using PPC but not successful. When I recongnized Renegade University and Professional half year ago, it gave me hope again to grow biz online. While I had read through quite a few tutorials (not yet write any articles), I understand that building a blog and/or my website is important to drive traffic (correct me if I am wrong). To me, it seems building a blog is simplier (i.t.o time and content) than building a website (I am not an computer expert) but since I am staying in China, I cannot access to http://www.squarespaces.com (this is taught in tutorial to build the blog) and hence I cannot build the blog through this path. Wordpress blog seems very complicated to me. Another situation is many social media e.g. Facebook, Youtube were also blocked in China. Hence I was limited in some way to build my list. Hence, I strongly believe that the personalized ‘Smart Beginner’ marketing plan will let me know what and how to move forward. I sure will attend every Thursday webinar. Looking forward to your help!

For now, go here http://www.renegadeprofessionalnews.com/attraction_marketing_webinar.html#1686_1
The recorded live webinar isn’t in back office yet. A little tech difficulty that is taking longer than I expected.
But the link I have provided is the same information, just presented in a different order.

@Amanda Law,
If you aren’t able to access Facebook and Youtube (and Squarespace) you are limited in a big way. There is no question that that is a significant impediment. Now if China loses Google, which I have you may, then the ante will have grown.
Off the top of my head, I want to give you a few suggestions:
1. Begin using Twitter and the search function quite exclusively. This is going to be your way to connect with people.
2. Begin to use a different video service like Vimeo or Viddler.
3. Use HubPages — a lot!
4. Set up an quick and easy to use Blogger blog – will take 10 minutes and suffice until you can build using Wordpress.Keep in touch,
Eric Walker

Maybe you’re a beginner with the internet. Doesn’t matter how old you are, we all must begin somewhere.
And if you’re not a beginner, when was the last time you actually walked two moons in a beginner’s moccasins?
So whether you are or you aren’t a beginner, follow along with me. We’re going to get back to some core fundamental understandings in this article that will benefit everyone.
If you’re new, I know this will help you.
If you’ve been around awhile, this is a vital reminder you don’t want to forget. The thing is…so many of you do forget, and that is why for many, your business continues to suffer.
So again, I urge you to read closely. Don’t skim. You’re going to want to read this entire article (especially the ending because aren’t endings supposed to be happy).
Okay, let’s get started shall we.
Now, it’s hard to deny that the internet is ripe with opportunity. That is stating the obvious.
Yet the dominating question remains because you’re asking yourself this right now, How do I use the internet to build my business? Or maybe you don’t even have a business yet, but you know you’d like to have one with all the advantages that an internet-based business offers.
Millions, literally, millions are asking this question.
You’re probably also asking Where is the most important place to start? and How can I get started if I’m on a shoe-string budget?
And contrary to what you may have seen or heard, you really don’t need a lot of money to get started. Not here anyway. Don’t worry, everyone is tech-challenged at first. We quickly lead you through that.
There is an answer to these questions. There is a solution to these problems. After all, that’s what this is really about. It’s what we call value.
For almost three years now, smart beginners (notice I didn’t say “newbie”) have created a free Renegade University profile.
We simply call it RU, and it’s where smart beginners walk through a simple three step process of click by click set-up-your-marketing-as-you-go training tutorials even if you’re tech-challenged, and no nothing about setting up a business on the web.
RU is a great primer to learn how to be seen as “attractive” using low or no cost methods such as blogging, internet marketing and social media.
The natural progression from RU is to upgrade as a Professional member so you can take you’re the marketing of your business to the next level.
It’s at Professional that we teach you many different marketing methods. You can choose your favorite one(s) to create a constant flow of leads, while attracting the best ones to your business.
And for thousands, this has worked. Seriously! Here are just a few Renegade Professional success stories. Take a moment to follow this link and see for yourself (but be sure to return to this article. I haven’t even started with the best part yet). LINK.
The Renegade Professional team would be remiss if we simply rested on our laurels. With the turn of 2010, we have set some lofty goals.
We want to help support and guide as many smart beginners as we can reach. And our reach extends pretty far. But we’ve decided to start in our own backyard with all RU students and Professionals.
We’re going to take you through the process – from zero to traffic; how to turn that traffic into leads for your business, with examples along the way.
This can be accomplished, as it has been accomplished by so many already, using the Renegade Professional training to market yourself to a targeted group that consists of people actively searching for the information you have.
We’re Starting a Series of Smart Beginner Training Webinars — Live Event Every Thursday
This initial webinar training series will be specifically tailored for current RU students and new Renegade Professionals. You’re considered “new” if you’ve been a Renegade Professional for 90 days or less.
But it’s also completely understandable if you’ve been a Renegade Professional for awhile, and for whatever reason or another haven’t put it all together to create an optimal online presence. This training is for you too.
And here’s a big perk for all you seasoned Renegade Professionals who have leadership skills or are established marketers in your own right. It makes a lot of sense for you to refer your new and existing referrals to these webinars. It’s a win-win if they get the much needed guidance and support while you get the residual affiliate commission.
We like win-win. That’s what we’re aiming for.
The Smart Beginner Training Webinar Series Will Be Broken Down into Chunks so You Can Start Going & Growing without Stress or Expense
The benefit of attending these webinars are several, but in particular, you’ll have a “leg up” on how to use the Renegade Professional training to win big with your internet based business.
Here is just an appetizer of all the things we’ll cover in these Smart Beginner Training webinars. Follow this link to get a full preview of some of the big topics we’ll be covering –> Support for Smart Beginners – Getting Support While Getting Started.
—>How to use Renegade Professional to build your business even if you don’t have one yet (but especially if you do).
—>The most important place to start, and how to customize your Renegade Professional training (along with tips about how to navigate around your back office).
—>The bare minimum you need to have set up so you can be up and running sooner than later. You’d be surprised at how many people actually DON’T take these steps. We’ll walk you through them.
—>We will eliminate the confusion about what you should be learning and in what order. Do you know how to eat a whale? First, identify the parts, and then take one bite at a time. We’ll show you the parts, and give you a fork.
—>We will demystify what you should be doing with social media marketing. You’ll understand HOW and WHAT to do once you create an article and publish it on the web. You will know what that is supposed to do for you.
Lastly, it’s a fact that most people don’t realize successful online marketers focus on building lasting relationships with their customers, rather than pushing their deal, and spamming their products and services.
You will benefit from the knowledge we share so you are doing the right things, not the wrong things.
Do This Next (Don’t Skip this Step)
Important How-To Information to Access the “Smart Beginner” Webinars
But first, I just have to say this because you must believe this to get started… Okay, ready? Read this last part closely (You’ve made it this far. Be sure to finish strong!).
No matter where you are in life, young or old, on the top, or on the bottom… Whether you are unemployed, or currently a professional, or a network marketer or running a non-profit, brick and mortar or small home business, you can do this.
You don’t have to be happy or unhappy with your life’s circumstances. The fact is that you can absolutely achieve your goals and dreams, and do it faster than you imagine.
There is no question that you will have to work for it. But I assure you (I am my own proof), that the biggest rewards demand your full participation. When you expect it to happen with a decided heart, it will.
The Renegade Professional Team will Support Your Journey Along the Way.
Alright, now that the pep talk has passed, let’s get down to details. First things first, check out our scheduled “Smart Beginner” webinar training series by following this link –> Smart Beginner Training Webinar Preview
Next, in order to make things really easy for you, follow this link to get on our high priority Smart Beginner list. If you want to get exclusive content geared toward the Smart Beginner as well as pre-notification and “first dibs” at any bonus or special promotion we offer for our Smart Beginner audience, this is THE list to be on. –> Smart Beginner List

@Kimberly Miner,
More and more, we’re seeing professionals, like yourself, use Renegade Professional to get started with their passions i.e. Photography.
Now that is what I call a Smart Beginner!
Kimberly, if you haven’t created a Renegade University account yet, do so. It’s free, and you’ll get a good introduction to what we call “attractive” marketing.
Here is the link – http://RenegadeUniversity.com
I’ll be looking for you on the webinar, and perhaps we can connect by way of phone about marketing your Photography business.
Remember that we are choosing TWO Smart Beginners and providing them with a Smart Beginner Marketing plan.

Hi, Eric: I’m looking forward to this training! Yes, I’m ready to be chosen to work with you! I have multiple ideas to somehow be “threaded” to each other:
1…A new network marketing business to include health, wellness and green-friendly-for-the-environment products to cover both retail sales and create a team of high-energy “business-builders”. This will be one of the foundations so I can eventually quit my day job to become a full-time business entrepreneur.
2…Real estate investments starting with pre-foreclosures (I will start training in March, so it’s long-term and will eventually become a future income-stream foundation.
3…To work as a nonprofit “Chaplain Kelley Care Center” (I received my credentials last October in 2009); to buy a 3-to-5-acre “mini-campus” with multiple dwellings/buildings within a serene environment to schedule safe meetings to help people in crisis, for recovery and restoration and using “therapy dogs” that will be raised within this environment to help minister to unhealthy people and also for search and rescue when needed.
Thank you for whatever help you can provide me so I can become a “Smart Beginner”…again!Comment by Kelley Crooks — February 24, 2010 @ 10:02 pm

Thanks Eric, I will be on the site everyother week as possible. My time for the coaching group is at the same time every other week. Glad to know that I can go into RPro to get what I have missed. I am one of the ones that have tried to get started and seem to be spinning my wheels. Need help.

I’m interested in the opportunity to be chosen for the SB Personalized Marketing plan. My hesitation in responding before now is if I’ll have the time to implement this, but I want to learn and succeed so very badly. Been with Pro for a year now and allowed myself to get overwhelmed, “stuck” on the niche thing, and never move forward. Attended our first LIVE event in Portland and want to take that energy and do something!
1. Yes, I have a business.
2. Classified both as service provider and network marketer, although current focus is on the network marketing side – signing more people into ‘my deal’.
3. My burning question is whether or not my niche is feasible or do I really have it focused enough? or maybe, what is it, if I’m not really there yet? I feel like once I figure that out, I can really soar with the training Pro provides, but really struggling with this “first step”.

Eric,
I am noting how Renegade Professional is taking steps now, that we are well established to make sure that we are “leaving no Renegade Behind” !These webinars are very timely for the surge of new students.
This training is a great encouragement for alumni who are not willing to give up because they know the answers are within Renegade Professional. It takes fitting the pieces together for each participant.
I like that you are pointing out the first steps, making sure the foundation of the marketing funnel will be established well.

Once again Renegade Professional stands above the crowd providing this kind of training and support.

Mark Hoverson’s approach to marketing and sales might feel new to some people in our Renegade Professional community.
Raise your hand if you were a cross of emotions between completely in awe, amazed and impressed, with a twinge of “ooh, you are so full of yourself, and I know what you’re doing” combined with “but you know what Mark, you’re spot-on?”
Weird huh?
Yeah, he touched a lot of different parts of our brain.
Most gurus and guru-wanna-bees and everyone in-between teaching “how to sell online” are still in an older model that relies on frigid cold traffic from something like SEO or Adwords.
I’m not saying to NOT properly SEO your content, you should. I’m also NOT saying Adwords is bad (trust me, it’s good).
But the thing is… customers (buyers) are now using the web differently, and therefore we are experiencing a different relationship with those who sell information and ultimately make a purchase.
We still have to use effective selling techniques, right?.
Just holding hands and singing around the campfire doesn’t magically make sales leap into our shopping carts.
This is where Mark Hoverson’s Leadership Branding for Direct Response project can immediately help you make more sales while branding yourself as a leader (even if you’re new).
Old concept perhaps, but new approach. This is something fresh.
And let’s face it, with most skill sets of this sort, people learn more by modeling than they do by going back and figuring out the underlying philosophical principle.
Unless you missed something along the way, Mark Hoverson has already delivered the principle through his free content. He will deliver the modeling and “in-the-field experience” once Leadership Branding for Direct Response gets underway.
If you have studied Mark Hoverson throughout this launch sequence, what elements did you not see?
I’ll tell you what I noticed (and this is something to take note of):
–No yellow highlighter confusing marathon sales page. There was no sales page at all (only an orders form).
–No classic high-hype, squeeze page promising you into thinking you’re the one that can do what’s never been done. (There was a very simple opt-in form to receive Mark’s pre-training videos).
The point is that Mark Hoverson took a more thoughtful approach which worked much better in this “product launch” context; in this new area of “selling online.”
Again, even if you don’t purchase this product, it’s worth paying attention to, and studying repeatedly.
The last significant point I want to mention is that Mark Hoverson never assumed (as some internet marketers I’ve seen have) that the buyer (thus, me) is lazy, stupid, hates work, has no creativity, and in general is probably too dumb to work at Walmart, and therefore needs a “push button” solution.
That stuff may have worked in 2006 or 07, but not in this new entrepreneurial era.
I gathered all of these things simply by making observations, and I hope you did too. Because if you did, I think for those of you who were sitting on the fence with mixed emotions could justify the purchase of Mark Hoverson’s Leadership Branding for Direct Response project with logic.
That, or clearly see that Mark is delivering a product that can positively affect what we all really want – to make more money (not necessarily for the material, but for the opportunity to leave a legacy).
It’s been said that content’s value has never been lower, but content’s importance has never been higher; that if content is King, then marketing is the Queen, (and She runs the household).
Let those thoughts hang in your mind for a moment before you continue reading.
Read them once more.
To my knowledge, he’s the first person who ever got both Ann Sieg and Mike Dillard to email their humongous lists for the same product offering (of course there was this guy Mike Klingler who greased those wheels orchestrating this colossal industry shaking project).
And once people entered the marketing funnel, Mark Hoverson’s content, aka “The Goodie Page,” logged in over 8,000 hours of video watched. Plus a marathon of live webinars with Ann Sieg and an exclusive interview with Mike Dillard (not to mention the MP3 “Insider Talk About Launch” we recorded together).
That’s an excellent example of content being King, but marketing being Queen. Can’t have one without the other.
So this being the review of Mark Hoverson’s Leaderhip Branding for Direct Response that it is, I should get down to the meat of what is being offered for this project.
Here is a breakdown of the nitty gritty details: 
First of all, the goal of the project is to build you, build your brand, and integrate that with direct response marketing. You will come to be familiar with this formula: (You + Branding) + Marketing = Success.
What you will learn is “leadership branding,” which is a new term I haven’t heard before, and has been coined by Mark himself.
Leadership branding simply means you’re branding yourself as a leader even if you’re brand new while weaving in direct response into all aspects of your business, which by design, will move you leaps and bounds forward as an online direct response marketer.
Condescendingly, learning this stuff will give you a reason to be on Twitter all day (although at first you probably won’t want to be).
Video is the name of the game, and as a member of this project you’ll learn the psychology of selling through video.
The course starts this February 23, and will last for seven consecutive weeks culminating at a Live Event in Las Vegas on April 15, 16 and 17.
Here is the weekly breakdown:
1. Legacy Minded Leadership. Inside look at the legacy you desire to create long term and how that will dictate how much “game” you bring to your business.
2. Understanding “Buyer’s Rush” and the Applied Psychology of “Buyer’s Resistance.” How to turn the resistance into the rush. Learning to tap into the psychology of the deepest pleasures of the human mind, such as creating a “buyers buzz.”
3. How to Implement “Buyer’s Rush.” Not just philosophical ideas, but tactical and immediate strategies to apply immediately.
4. How to Weave Direct Response into Every Piece of Content.
5. How to Attract Professionals with Money.
6. Magical Secrets of List Leverage.
7. How to implement “Expert Edge” (or Starve) – you’ll learn that the definition of “expert” is someone who gets paid money for what they do, which is tightly related to craft. In this course you’re learning the craft of direct response to become an expert, and therefore, get paid.
Advertised Bonuses:
–Exclusive access to the Leadership Branding for Direct Response Ning community.
–Power branding eCover for the first 200 people (and a discount for everyone else).
–2 tickets to the Venetian Forbes 5 Diamond hotel this April 15, 16, 17 (with Ann Sieg).
–13 Super Productivity Secrets (30 minute video which will be located inside the community).
–17 Strategies to Sew Goodwill into Your List (even if your list is as small as 50 people)
–How to Transform Rookies Into Earners. (30 minute video which will be located inside the community)
–Exclusive “Mark and Shanny” confessions. Biggest struggles they share as a married couple, and how to overcome them.
–Buyers Rush Formula. An analysis of Mark’s 45 minute presentation, broken down step by step, that made him 36K.
Refund Policy:
Mark promises that you can experience the entire seven weeks of the project, and either love it or get a refund; that after seven weeks of absorbing a 7-figure mind, if you want your money back, you can have.
Cost is $997. There is a payment plan (details not yet disclosed).
First webinar commences February 23rd and wraps up before Easter (March 31st).

I had never heard of Mark Hoverson until his presentation at the Renegade Professional live event. He has a very unique and engaging teaching style that draws you in and keeps your attention.
I can remember saying to myself as I sat there listening to him wow, this is a guy I want to get to know and learn from.
But what really set it over the top at least for me was when I heard him say “What good is off-page optimization (seo,social buzz,leveraging the news etc) if you don’t have direct response.
“I’m really looking forward to this course”

I remember my first thoughts after Mark’s presentation in January at the live event. I was impressed with the results when over half the room got up to sign up for his course, me being one too. But I felt he hadn’t delivered the content he had promised for his lecture.
It wasn’t until I realized that it’s the results that count and his techniques that made over 30 people get up right then and buy his course is what he was delivering.
I am going to learn those techniques!

I snagged Mark in between his Leadership Branding for Direct Response webinars today for a short MP3 audio interview. Listen to the MP3 (below)…
Mark Hoverson Live (Audio) Interview – Insider Talk About the Leadership Branding for Direct Response Launch.
Visit this page to get hours of free Mark Hoverson training including his 7 Secrets to 7 Dimensional Marketing mini-report.
The Big Take-Aways from the Mark Hoverson “Insider Talk About Launch” MP3 Interview
—How to go about creating highly influential and extremely leveraging BIG NAME relationships (think Ann Sieg, Mike Dillard, Mike Klingler, Jonathan Budd, Ferny Ceballos, etc.) to promote his latest product – Leadership Branding for Direct Response
–AND– How Smart Beginners can -by six degrees of separation- do the same thing.
—Why the most important outcome effecting income and great relationships for any Superstar Marketer is building upon other peoples’ success.
—What The “Mark Hoverson” process of preparing and executing a launch looks like.
— How and why Mark prefers spontaneity to tap into his Spiderman sense to refine the launch process (and how this makes the time it takes to create all that content much less intense).
—The importance of product creation (or not) for your Network Marketing Funnel. Why it doesn’t matter if you don’t have fodder, and why that doesn’t matter without direct response marketing.
—How there would be no launch of Leadership Branding for Direct Response without Copywriting, and how the gravity of communication attracts people to see the idea.
—Why Mark Hoverson may have -or- may not have bought this product four years ago when he first got started with internet marketing.

A new venture deserves new information that will catapult the results toward extreme success. At least that’s the way I am looking at Mark’s course and how it will change the face and way of how I now do my online marketing.
I’m ready for this and it is just a natural progression that will help to brand me even more in my chosen niche.

Lots of supportive training webinars ahead for Smart Beginners either just getting starting with Renegade Professional, or new at Renegade University. Or for those of you who are taking Mark’s Leadership Branding for Direct Response project.
In the coming weeks (months), we’ll cover the following:
Webinar: Attraction Marketing Starts Here – Attraction Marketing Basics, and What You Need to Have in Place (Inside & Out) — I just did this webinar, but I’ll actually re-run this webinar because it is a VERY important place to start.
Webinar: Branding with Blogs – It Doesn’t Have to Be Hard — Using the Renegade Professional training on how to set up a blog with SquareSpace as our foundation, I’ll go deep about how to generate up to 700 direct visitors a month in your first month of launching your blog. It takes a little hustle, but it’s all worth it when you know the specifics.
We’ll make sure new bloggers are reaching the audience they intend to (Mark’s Branding for Direct Response training will do the trick once the visitors arrive).
Webinar: Smart Beginners Guide to Content Creation — This is an important one. This “Guiding” webinar will break through the common blocks most have in creating content for their target market. We’ll be sure you never DON’T know what to write about.
Webinar: Email Marketing – Putting Your Blog Content to Good Use — Often for Smart Beginners, there is overwhelm. There is a lot of set up that is involved with setting up your internet marketing funnel so people can buy from you when you’re asleep, with kids, etc.
To be sure that can happen, everything has to be in its proper place. In this webinar, I’ll show you a few simple tricks that eliminate overwhelm by re-purposing the content at your blog in at least 7 different ways.
Webinar: Lead Generation – Putting the Pieces Together — Why the simple formula of (You + Branding) + Marketing = Success really is simple, and exactly what is needed to generate leads. We’ll get down to the bottom of the over-used word “Value” and discuss what it really means.
Webinar: I’ve Built My Marketing Funnel – Now What? — Once you have your marketing funnel put together, and all the pieces fit, and you’ve even generated a few leads, what happens next? That’s exactly what this webinar will cover (calibration and tweaking).
Spread the word on this. These webinars will be completely free, and open to all Renegade University and new Professionals. Of course, it makes a lot of sense for leaders and top affiliates to send their new prospects and leads to these webinars. We’ll be sure to get them off to a smart start while you earn the affiliate commission.
More about this coming very soon!

What People Are Saying...
This is THE MOST INCREDIBLE TRAINING! I just finished listening to it and taking notes. During the course of the past 70 minutes, I’ve identified my niche–finally–and I feel as though I’m on fire to move forward!Several months ago I connected with a fabulous coach through Renegade/MarketingMerge/Coaching Cognition. Through her patient, consistent guidance in helping me to peel back the layers and really get in touch with myself, I began the “journey” to finding my niche.
This pre-training for the Smart Beginners weekly webinars, in combination with the superb
coaching I’ve already been receiving, has moved me to the place of being sure of my niche. Your emphasis on drilling down to my deepest core passion and making that my SINGULAR FOCUS “clicked” during this audio!
