I’m going… do you want to join me?
March 27, 2007 |
If you don’t already have a business that is grossing a million a year, (or one that’s on track to be, within 18 months) then this email is not for you.
But If your business IS already a million dollar business or it’s close, then this email could be the most profitable one you receive for the entire year.

Here’s the story…
I wrote the email below, a few nights ago. Initially, I was going to send it out to my entire list but I didn’t. Because I knew that out of the 126,780 entrepreneurs on my list this offering was only right for a fraction of my readers.
When I was done writing the email, I read it aloud to Mike Filsaime, who immediately said “Sign me up!”. That got me thinking… Since both Mike and I were attending, I decided to send this to my closest friends, and my top affiliates first. That way, they could have a good head-start to get in on this landmark event.
After all, how many people do you know that have built not just one, but TWO information marketing empires, worth far more than 100 million dollars in annual sales? I don’t know any one else but the guy in this email.
Since then, most of the seats have been reserved - but their are still six spots left. It’s expensive and will only be right for a few people. But because it’s such an amazing opportunity I couldn’t keep it from you any longer.
My motivation for sending this is solely to stay on this great man’s good side so I can continue to bring him some of my biggest questions and challenges.

Subject: If You Don’t Have A Million Dollar Business It’s Not For You
Hey guys,
Rich Schefren here…
Lately I have been emailing you about my coaching program, and all the free videos that I’ve created for you to grow your business.
However this message is entirely different… because if your business matches the profile then what I am about to share with you will dramatically transform your life and your business forever.
Here’s what this is all about: There is a man, a master business builder who has few equals.
He took his very first company from $100k to $135 million a year in just 11 short years. He then sold that company for a mint and decided to retire early.
But to a gifted entrepreneur like him… life without building businesses is like a junkie going cold turkey.
So, two years later he came out of his early retirement looking for his next business building fix. This took him to the doorstep of Agora publishing. At the time they were grossing a respectable $8 million annually. Since then he’s been the point man behind their staggering growth to this year’s incredible $270 million.
As If that wasn’t impressive enough in his “spare time” he also took another 5 businesses from zero to the $20 million mark, and took over 20 startups to the $5 million level.
Of course, he’s also made the time to write several New York Times Best Sellers - three of them have even reached the prestigious level of being on my top ten list 
Obviously this is the type of guy you want in your corner.
If you’ve been following my company’s rapid growth then you should already know this man’s name and how much he’s helped me grow Strategic Profits.
He didn’t volunteer for the job, but once I lock my sights on a mentor who I know can help me grow my business there isn’t anything I won’t do to get access.
Two examples come to mind…
The first was eight years ago, when I had my hypnosis business. I dropped everything to fly across country just to have a 70 minute lunch with Sy Sberling to learn how he had taken the small company he founded, Hair Club For Men and turned it into an extraordinarily lucrative national brand.
Second, just three months ago I had my team pack up our entire office and move it 14 miles north so we’d be based down the street from Agora’s Florida headquarters and this mentor’s office.
Why would I do all this? Well, here’s a quick story that should shed some light on the question.
Last month I had a major issue come up in my business. It forced me to make a difficult yet critical decision. Because of its importance I immediately called 3 of my most respected friends (all with 10 to 20 million dollar businesses of their own) to gauge their opinions.
Each suggested the same action I was planning on taking. I felt relieved. Then on the drive into work as I passed the Agora office I saw “his” car parked out front. So, I decided to pop-in unannounced.
After some small talk I told him about the problem and what I was planning on doing about it. He gave it a moments thought, and then proceeded to tell me all the reasons why I was looking at the situation the wrong way, and how he had worked through a similar challenge many years earlier when Agora was still in it’s early stages.
He then explained what he had done (it was the exact opposite of what I had been planning and what my friends had advised.) But as soon as he explained the solution to me it was obvious how much simpler and more profitable his answer was.
Only in hindsight, could I see that by taking his advice I’ve actually brought Strategic Profits one step closer to following in the footsteps of Agora and its immense success.
A few days later, I called my friends back to share with them his advice and what I had done. They all agreed it was a far superior solution.
What struck me, was simple, what looked like the best decision to me a $10 million business owner and my peers, was quite frankly, short-sighted and lacked the perspective of what it really takes to grow a business beyond the $100 million mark.
You see, it’s an entirely different way of thinking that takes a business to these monstrous levels. And sadly most entrepreneurs will never even get the chance to be introduced to it.
It’s rare enough to meet a man who’s taken a single business past the 100 million dollar level, much less two of them. But it’s even rarer to find one who is willing to help you do the same.
Which is why I am sending you this email, and why it’s only appropriate for a small percentage of the 126,870 entrepreneurs on my opt-in list.
The man, the myth, and the legend that I’ve been talking to you about is Michael Masterson. And if you couldn’t tell by now, I feel extremely lucky to have him in my corner.
So, when he told me that he wanted to have the same impact on a small, select group of likeminded entrepreneurs… I asked him if I could share this opportunity with my readers. (I didn’t realize at the time that I would be the only person he would allow to do so)
Which brings us to today…
Until now if you wanted to get Michael’s personal time and attention, you’d have to agree to pay an ungodly sum, or be crafty enough to move your business right next door and weasel your way in
But for 30 ambitious, already successful, business owners who are willing to take action now, it really is your lucky day.
Actually make that 29, because I’ve already reserved my spot, and if you’d like to be learning beside me - then I urge you to consider this (excuse the clich?) “chance of a lifetime” offer.
Here’s what Michael has in store for us:
A very intense 4? days (and nights) at the Ritz Carlton in Palm Beach, Florida (From April 24th through April 28th) where he’ll share with us “everything he knows about making businesses grow - including all the specific trade secrets he’s used to generate more than a dozen multi-million dollar fortunes” for people just like me and you.
Of course, there are a lot more details, but you can get them straight from the source by going here:

You’ll notice this isn’t an affiliate link. In fact, as I said, I asked Michael if I could share this with you - because I wanted to give you, my loyal reader a chance to see this.
In the subject line I said a “million dollar business” - does that mean if you are currently making 3k to 4k a month you shouldn’t attend? - Yes. Save your money. This is probably not the workshop for you right now.
What if you are making 200k to 400k? Should you attend? Well, that all depends… If your business is growing fast and you expect to hit the million mark in the next 18-24 months then this is an event you should strongly consider.
Now assuming you are already, or can see yourself soon at the helm of a multi-million dollar business I don’t have to explain the incredible additional benefit of being in a room with 30 likeminded millionaires all learning from Michael.
Networking with a group like this could literally drive hundreds of thousands if not millions in additional income into your business. If you make a million dollars a year or more already, then you know the value and don’t need any further explanation.
Here’s where you can get all the details:
