From Melanie Benson Strick
Chatsworth, CA
Dear Entrepreneurial Friend,

I have a very important question to ask you.

Are you happy with how your business looks right now?

Or, even more importantly…

Are you happy with how your business supports your life right now?

If the answer is yes, then you don't have to read any further.

But if the answer is no…

Let me ask it another way – does any of this sound familiar?

• You're not making the kind of money you want to no matter how hard you work.
• You're working all the time and you still can't seem to get ahead financially.
• Somewhere along the way, your business has turned into your life. You're exhausted, you're stressed, you're overwhelmed. And you're not making NEARLY enough money to put yourself through this day after day.
• Worse, you have no idea what to do to turn your business around. No matter how many home study courses or books or programs or seminars you invest in, you still can't figure out how to transform your business into the one you've always dreamed about.

If this sounds familiar, then read on. You're in the right place!

But before we go any further, who am I and why should you listen to me?

I know EXACTLY what you're going through
because I've been there!

In 2001, after over 10 years of doing what others wanted me to do and making other people wealthy I started my OWN coaching practice. I was excited and had big dreams for creating a successful business that would give me the freedom I had been craving for so long. But within a year and a half, I was under so much stress and overwhelm I almost collapsed from fatigue. My passion for my work had crumbled.

In addition, I had no support system. I knew nobody who had been through what I had and had actually made it to the other side with the business they really wanted. But maybe worst of all, I felt totally overwhelmed, had no idea how to make money doing what I loved, and I was staring down the barrel of a mountain of debt. I was so desperate that I actually called my dad to borrow some money while I figured out what to do.

He had a simple solution, “Sweetheart, maybe you should consider getting a job again.”

Well, nothing can concentrate the mind like the prospect of a J.O.B. That was the best thing he could have said to me. It was exactly what I needed to hear. At that moment I realized that if you want to run a successful business you have to…

Make a Commitment to STOP Allowing
Overwhelm to Control YOUR Life
and Breakthrough the Barriers that Get In the
Way of Making a Difference, Achieving Wealth and Enjoying Your Freedom and ULTIMATE Success

Groups forming for January 2010

Fast forward to TODAY. I have my own very successful business that generates consistent revenue in the high six and sometimes seven figures (And, I reached 6-figures within 9 months of starting!) I have a business that is aligned with what’s important to me, that affords me the freedom to work as little or as much as I want, and that makes a huge impact on the people in my programs (I regularly hear how one of my programs has changed someone’s life in a positive way.)

I wake up every morning eager to jump into my day, my business attracts EXACTLY the type of clients I love working with, and I am able to surround myself with a team of people who allow me to work on the pieces of my business that I truly love.

Most importantly, I have a business that feels effortless.

Does that sound like too big of a dream? I promise you it’s not and as your coach, I can help you achieve the type of success YOU want.

If you've spent any time wondering:

• Why all of the information you've learned isn’t paying off,
• How to implement your ideas,
• Why there seems to be more money going out than coming in, or
• Why you always feel like you’re swimming upstream,

Don’t worry. You’re not alone. Entrepreneurs tend to have blind spots when it comes to growing their business.

But let’s face it, even if you went to the best MBA program in the country, you still wouldn’t come away with a proven blueprint for creating a lifestyle business that brings you a consistent 6-figure income year after year.

So, it’s not your fault. Unless you specifically LOOK for this type of information and help, it's not easily found.

 

The quality of the decisions you make will dictate the quality of the results you achieve. The Fast Track helps you make better decisions!

I’m Ready to Fast Track my
Business. How Do I Get Started?

Why Is This Fast Track Program Going to Bring in More Clients and More Business When So Many Other Things I’ve Tried Have Failed?

 

I know. You’ve heard it all before. Every time you turn around there’s someone else telling you how you can get rich quick, how their product or service is going to revolutionize your business, or how a simple mindset shift can result in paydays so outstanding you’ll be able to retire in 60 days.

Well, you’re not going to get any of that from me. Consistently hitting the high 6-figure mark does not happen over night. But it can happen, and I’m living proof, as long as you learn what you need to do and you do it at the right time, in the right order and CONSISTENTLY.

You see, lack of consistency is what kills many of the businesses out there. That’s why this program is designed the way it is. The built-in accountability aspect will drive you to do more of the high pay off activities in less time as a result you’ll experience more success than you ever imagined.

But, I don’t stop there. While a lot of coaching and marketing programs will provide you with loads of information and expect implementation will naturally follow, at Success Connections we understand that it’s about more than taking in information. It’s about connecting with who you need to BE in order to follow through on everything you learn. If you want to run a 6 figure business, you must get clear on who you need to become to make that happen…and that goes far beyond the simple “how to’s”.

This is a unique and holistic approach that has allowed our members to achieve more working with us than they ever have in other programs.

 

What You'll Get When You Join the
Fast Track to 6-Figure
Lifestyle Business Program...

Each month I’ll cover one leverage topic – a theme if you will. You’ll have video lessons, a think tank call and a hot seat coaching call all based around this theme. That’s how we’re able to make sure you not only get the information you need, but you’re able to learn it and incorporate it into your business easily and effortlessly.

Here’s what you’ll learn each month:

	Lifestyle Vision: All successful businesses start with a powerful, passionate vision. This is the secret behind why some entrepreneurs can’t wait to jump out of bed in the morning while others struggle with burnout and exhaustion. And why some entrepreneurs build massively successful businesses while others struggle to pay their bills. Without a vision in place, how will you ever be able to build your dream business?
	Business Models: Not all businesses are created equally. Depending on the model you’ve chosen for your business (and trust me, you’ve chosen one, even if you don’t think you have) it might be easier or harder to transform the business you have into the one of your dreams. We’ll go through the different business models so you can see which one is best suited to your vision and lifestyle goals, and then walk you through step-by-step into incorporating it.
	Planning and Goals: Are you one of those people who never achieves your goals? Well, say goodbye to that person because we’re going to teach you our FOOL PROOF methods to set and achieve goals, and how to put together a success plan that transforms your business.
	Accelerators: Want to see results YESTERDAY? Well, you’re going to LOVE this month. We’ll teach you all the strategies speed implementers use EVERY DAY to get FAR MORE done in FAR LESS time. (And no, we’re not going to tell you to work more hours.) You’ll be amazed how quickly you’ll be getting things done after this month.
	Automate & Delegate: Here’s the secret to gaining an extra 10 or even 20 hours EACH WEEK. You’ll learn the RIGHT way to automate and delegate. (Along with things you ABSOLUTELY should NOT do if you don’t want to fail at this and have it cost you hours of time and hundreds or thousands of dollars.)
	Staying on Track: Now that you’ve got your plan in place and you know what you need to do to create your vision, you need to stay on track. Here’s where we teach you exactly how to do that, so you reach your goals in record time. (Not to mention transforming your business in record time!)
	Overcoming Roadblocks: Every entrepreneur faces unplanned obstacles and challenges…but it’s WHAT you do to minimize their impact that makes the difference. Discover some cutting edge techniques to eliminate 70% of the roadblocks before they ever occur as well as my roadblock obliterator for those pesky 30% that sneak through!
	Marketing Magic: Mastering the art of running your business is essential but you’ll also want to uncover the magic of leverage in marketing. You’ll discover simple techniques to generate more qualified leads without having to work harder!
	Sales Strategies: Once you’ve attracted your idea clients now you need to know how to win them over! With my proven 3 step process you’ll be well on your way to a full house…with clients that make you happy and LOVE paying you what you deserve!
	Wow Factor: It’s not enough for you to be wealthy; you want to wow your clients too, don’t you? Find out how to create and deliver stellar programs with rave reviews!
	Partnerships: Another way that the uber-successful use leverage is by partnering with others. We’ll cover ways to knock your results out of the ball-park by aligning with ideal partners such as strategic marketing partners, Joint Ventures and legal business partnerships.
	Leadership Mastery: Knowing the difference between leading and doing will be your saving grace. As you expand your business you’ll be tempted to slip back into old habits that kept you small. Mastering your inner and outer game of leadership will keep you on the fast track to greatness!

 

Now that you know the themes, here’s what you’ll get each month:

1. Think Tank Calls Every month, I will be hosting a Think Tank call dedicated to a leverage theme. Here's your chance to call in with questions you have about the video lessons or how to implement that leverage topic in your business. Think Tank calls are different from mastermind calls as it’s a blend of coaching, Q&A and accountability.

2. Hot Seat Coaching In this second call of the month you'll be given a chance to get LIVE coaching and support with me and your peers. This is the perfect opportunity for you to address any questions you have about the video lessons or regarding the specifics of your own business. These calls are your chance to learn from others tackling similar issues and how to tap into the right opportunities to keep you on the fast track! Each call is also recorded and will be available for you to download in the resource center.

3. One Lifestyle Vision Strategic Planning Session During this 50-minute session I will help you co-create your strategy to achieve your desired lifestyle business - the wealth, accomplishments and free time you've always desired.

4. Monthly Open Coaching You never have to worry about staying on track. I’m committed to helping you stay focused on your vision and having access to me as your coach each month will provide you the accountability and motivation you need to move closer to your goals. (And, if you ever decide you need a little EXTRA coaching, we've got plenty of ways to mentor and support you!)

5. Leverage Library When you join the Fast Track you'll have access to our proven system to creating a lifestyle business. Your roadmap to success will be detailed in short videos that you can watch and apply to your business each week! Here are some examples of topics that will be covered: Million dollar "leveraged" business models to help you start achieving a million dollar business faster and easier than you ever thought possible. How to adopt a speed implementation mindset so you can move forward with lightning speed. Success habits of consistent and predictable 6 figure entrepreneurs, so you can adopt THEIR habits for YOUR success. Leverage strategies for your time, money & resources for massive results. How to create a super-strong inner game that leads to outer wealth & success. Must-have automation, technology and systems that enable you to work less. Ruthless time management and planning techniques that top performers use to catapult their success Best practices in marketing and sales strategies that catapult you forward (without extra stress or massive cost.)

6. Resource Center Access When you join the Fast Track program you’ll also have an entire Resource Center at your disposal - templates, checklists and access to past calls - everything you need to support you in your quest for a 6-Figure Lifestyle Business

 

Business consultants charge anywhere from
$500 to $1000 an hour. YOU will have access to my consulting for a fraction of the cost!

 

You’ll be uplifted, encouraged, challenged, motivated and inspired. And guess what? You’ll have that effect on your group.
It goes both ways.

 

Melanie I'm Ready to Apply!

Still have some questions? You might be wondering whether or not this would really work for you. So, I decided to address the most common points of resistance people have when I tell them about this Fast Track to Lifestyle Business Success Program.

6 Common Reasons Why You May Resist the
Best Business Building Program for Entrepreneurs

Resistance Reason #1: I’m already in a coaching program and I’m not getting results from that. Why is this different?

My Response: This is probably the question I am asked most often and I understand it completely. After all, I found myself in the same position 7 years ago when I began my own business. I was in multiple programs, learning from a slew of different people but not getting the results I wanted. That was when I realized there was something missing. Actually 3 pieces were missing…accountability, implementation and leverage. Information is great but unless and until you get serious about being accountable and are committed to implementing what you learn quickly and consistently you will be in the same boat a year from now. We make sure you ACT on what you learn AND we teach you how to create LEVERAGE so you don’t have to do all of it yourself, which is really the key to having the lifestyle business you deserve.

Resistance Reason #2: I’m a little leery of people that talk about “resource libraries”.  Usually that just means a bunch of generic templates that don’t apply to me or old recordings that talk about tired tactics. Why is yours different?

My Response: I understand your concern, which is one of the reasons we have worked very hard to provide resources that work. This is not stuff you are going to find anywhere. Our members tell us all of the time how important this library has been to their success. But let me ask you this, wouldn’t you like to have resources right at your finger tips that would:

• allow you to create more profitable JV opportunities,
• manage your money,
• increase your visibility,
• increase your sales and conversion rates and
• create a business and marketing plan that ACTUALLY works?

Resistance Reason #4: I don’t have the money to join right now.

My Response: Not having the money in my experience really means I haven’t done a good enough job of helping you see what can happen for you in this program. When we know something will work we find the money. If your child or significant other was deathly ill, you’d find the money, right? Well, your business is probably deathly ill…it needs attention from a trained expert to be able to generate consistent predictable income without you giving up your life.

The monthly investment is equal to maybe one or two hours of your time…maybe less. What you will learn each month in this program could easily pay for that. In fact, in module 6 of your program you will discover the strategy for making sure you get a significant ROI on everything you do. Our members tell us this one strategy alone helped them instantly pay for their investment in the program. Look, I can’t promise you a certain amount of revenue each month but I can promise you that if you take what you learn and implement quickly, you should see an ROI that far exceeds your monthly investment.

Resistance Reason #5: I don’t have time for any more work!

My Response: I get that. But I think the real issue is that you don’t have time for any more busy work. Let’s put it this way. Do you have time for activities that produce significant pay offs? If the answer is yes, then the Fast Track program may be EXACTLY what you need. This program is not a bunch of hype. It’s not filled with esoteric ideas that only a select few can understand, let alone implement. This program was designed specifically for entrepreneurs just like YOU who are ready to drop what’s not working, get out of overwhelm, concentrate on high pay off activities and finally create the lifestyle business YOU deserve.

When you implement the proven systems we provide, you WILL work less for a greater return. Successful people find time for the things that make them successful. And one of the things that make them successful is working on themselves. I hate to say it, but it's true. Being busy is an excuse. If you can't find time for things that will truly transform your business and your life, maybe you're not ready to be successful yet. I’ll share with you some sage wisdom I learned a few years ago. If you can’t do what you want when you want then you don’t have a business, you have a job. My guess is you need this more than you will ever know until you make the commitment to complete this program.

Resistance Reason #6: I get the previous 5 reasons but I’m still not sure it’s possible to get the results you’re talking about in a program like this.

My Response: Then pray that your closest competitors don’t join the program and gain an instant edge over you and the rest of the market.

Who This Program ISN’T For

I know we’ve talked a lot about what Fast Track is and why it’s so powerful, but it isn’t for everyone. Before you make the final decision to sign up, I need you to know that we DON’T take everyone. This program is NOT a good fit for you if you:

• are a start up who doesn’t have any clarity on what you offer
• are struggling to pick a business to focus on
• can’t pay your regular bills and joining this program would be a major hardship
• won't carve out at least 5 hours a week to focus on this program
• are looking for a magic pill or are a “guru-hopper” who isn’t really willing to take action
• have a commitment to more than five other programs (that’s a sign that you are more interested in learning than implementing…and that’s never going to get you results.)

How Does It Work?

It’s a very simple process. First, you click the registration link which will direct you to a schedule of the different sessions and a link to pay your deposit.

Once you pay your deposit, you will receive a “Welcome email” that will include your next steps and ways to get the most out of this program. At that time you will complete a detailed information form about your business and goals. This helps me determine how to best meet your needs and how to help you start off strong so you can achieve your goals quickly.

Next, I recommend you dig in and take advantage of every resource I have available. That includes the video lessons, the monthly calls, the online resource library, worksheets, assessments, templates, sample business plans, sample marketing plans, tip sheets, checklists, my personal private million dollar rolodex, breakthrough sessions, monthly e newsletters, and more… all yours because you’re part of the program!

Finally, show up fully for the calls, speak up when you need advice, and support the other members with your ideas and experience. Start creating and LIVING THE LIFESTYLE of a millionaire business owner right now. The real power in this group is what happens when you are in an “action-oriented environment” with your mastermind calls and coaching support — those are where you'll see synergy in motion.

Our next session of the Fast Track program begins January 2010. If you are ready to commit, I encourage you to act decisively and reserve your spot today as spaces are filling fast. By reserving your spot now, you will also have the opportunity to receive your materials soon and get a head start on some of the tools we offer. By January 1st you’ll be ahead of the game – and you’ll have saved yourself a pretty penny! The Fast Track Investment goes up January 1, 2010!.

I have coached hundreds of entrepreneurs on how to attain the ULTIMATE Lifestyle Business.
Now YOU too can experience extraordinary results when you finally…

That’s what can happen when you fully commit to the program.

 

Thank You Melanie.
This Is EXACTLY What I’ve Been Looking For.
What’s My Investment?

 

So what do you think would be a fair price for a program that provides personal business coaching, mentoring, on-line business library, forms and procedures, AND helps you meet and beat all your goals? $4000? $6000? Maybe even $10,000???

Well, you can relax because I'm not going to charge you anywhere near that amount. Remember, I know what it's like to struggle, and sometimes you just need a little help to turn your business around and become profitable.

So, here’s the deal - there are two ways to join this program.

I’ve found over the last few years of delivering this program that over 50% of the members stay on average 18 to 24 months. Once they go through the program the first time they realize how many areas they want to master before they move to the next level of coaching with me.

So, you can save two months fees and join for a year or you can start with a six month commitment. The choice is really about how much you want to save up front!

12 month commitment only $3200 Pay in full and enjoy a $400 discount over the 6 month commitment level + over $300 saving from the installment plan! or Click here to pay deposit of $500 and 12 low installments of just $252 per month 6 month commitment just $1,800 Pay in full and enjoy a $180 discount over the installment plan or Click here to pay deposit of $500 and 6 low installments of only $247 per month

You could spend more than that a month on a new outfit and believe me I have. But ask yourself this – how much is it costing you to go down the wrong path in your business? Think about how much money you're losing right now because of missed opportunities. And think about how much all of that costs you in time and stress.

Now let's flip that around. How much would it take for you to make that money back a month? Would two clients do it? Would only one? What if I told you this program is designed to make it a NO BRAINER to help you make back your investment quickly and easily.

You have the chance to create the business you’ve always dreamed of, and make the next 6-12 months your most profitable yet!

I know of at least 4 business coaches who are charging over $5,000 a year for programs like these… and they don’t have half of the resources I do! If you’re in the Extraordinary Results Academy, then you know what I’m talking about. You will find more resources for your business, hands down, then you’ll find anywhere else.

If you’re not on the edge of your seat right now because you can’t wait to take your business to the next level, then maybe this program isn’t for you. But I guarantee you, there is no other coaching program like this.

Read on to find out what some of our Fast Track members have to say…

And just to be really clear, because of the intensity and requirements of the program, I have to limit the number of participants in to 50. And, many of the spots are already accounted for by current members who have elected to stay in the program for another six months. So if you want to make sure you get in on the next session which starts January 2010, sign up now. We will be closing the groups at least one week before the program begins so we can make sure you have all of the materials you need to start off on the right foot.

And Here Are Some Extra Goodies To Get You Started:

 

This program is NOT another fire-hose, fill your brain with the latest and greatest marketing tactics or business growth strategies. It's about discovering easy and highly effective ways to IMPLEMENT what you have already invested your hard earned dollars in learning but haven't yet applied in a systematic and proven way. The Fast Track to a 6 Figure Lifestyle Business Coaching Program is an implementation program designed to create an ENVIRONMENT that causes you to get into action and play your biggest game possible.

Because of that, we have a simple request.

We only want people to join this program who are serious about getting into action and implementing what they are learning quickly and decisively.

The bottom line is we want to attract a community of high energy, high impact entrepreneurs who are serious about building the lifestyle business of their dreams.

So, I want to make sure I'm really clear that this coaching program is only for people who are VERY COMMITTED to having more freedom, making more money, creating systems for working fewer hours, and being open, authentic and very effective business leaders.

It is NOT for people who make excuses and resist or question every proven suggestion we give them, just because that's how they operate in their own lives.

It is NOT for people looking for more and more information to add to their knowledge as a way to avoid doing what they need to do.

And, it is NOT for people who require a lot of handholding and reassurance every step of the way.

If you are a "glass-half-full, looking for the magic potion, tend to focus on what's not working in your life/business, only able to move at a turtle-pace" kind of person, then I promise you, this program would be a waste of time for you.

This program is about quickly moving our ideas into money-making, profit-generating, life-freeing business offerings and that requires a no-excuses, open-minded, resourceful approach to getting things done :)

Melanie, it all sounds great, but I'm just so busy right now I have no idea how I can squeeze one more thing into my life.

Believe me, I can appreciate that. But let me ask you this – if you gave me an hour of your time and I showed you how you could find an extra 10 hours, would you do it?

Of course you would. And that's what the Fast Track program has the ability to offer you.

Successful people find time for the things that make them successful. And one of the things that make them successful is working on themselves.

I hate to say it, but it's true. Being busy is an excuse. If you can't find time for things that will truly transform your business and your life, maybe you're not ready to be successful yet.

Not Sure? Don’t Play Around With Your Future.
