Is that Chris Lockwood sitting beside Elizabeth in this video?

Ben Shaffer canceled his product launch. You can read about it below, but I wanted to tell you that the pure content video is at the very end of this email. Now back to Ben’s canceled product launch!

Ben Shaffer has revealed what some have called the holy grail of marketing products. He was setting up for a big product launch in August, but when he sent out an email to his list yesterday about this product…

They went nuts!

He sold more copies to this product than he ever sold of anything that he ever mailed to his list! It was incredible, and I watched the video yesterday and it was everything I could do to keep from buying it myself.

Anyway, Ben decided that this was exactly what the people are hurting for right now, and instead of going through the buildup of a huge product launch, which would take too long…

Over the past couple of weeks I have been following
the story of Sam Crowley, a former executive from a
Fortune 100 company whose life changed when…

After arriving home from work late one night (again),
his 3 year-old daughter asked him:

“Daddy, is tomorrow Saturday?

https://friday.infusionsoft.com/go/special/signup

That was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Right then Sam decided to take Massive Action
and change his life FOREVER.

He went on to quit his job and  pursue his passion of
helping others live the life of their dreams.

He now works for himself, and every day truly is
Saturday.

More importantly… he now spends EVERY DAY
with his family.

You can, too:

https://friday.infusionsoft.com/go/special/signup

He documented every step of the process he went
through, and has since helped thousands of people
via his top-rated motivational podcast to pursue their
dreams.

Sam’s new 6-CD audio program (and companion
workbook) “Six Days To Saturday” is designed to
help you reach your very own Saturday.

The feedback and testimonials are truly inspiring
and people all over the world are changing their
lives.

The “Six Days To Saturday” course  was designed
as a $997 product to be sold from stage, but Sam
is making a very limited number available for free
for the first 1,000 subscribers.

He just asks that you cover shipping and handling.

Over 500 have been claimed by people who
want more out of life… more family time… more
financial freedom and add their name to the long
list of people who have CHANGED their life as
a direct result of Sam’s course.

There may not be much more time left to take
advantage of this… so I wanted to send this to
you ASAP.

Live Well!

Micheal

PS – I saw Sam Crowley speak at the Willie Crawford Birthday Bash this year, and he is the real deal!

I took Kenneth Yu’s Email Copy Class.

I was jamming to a rocking Rush tune last night when I got the Blue Screen Of Death on my laptop and Alex Lifeson’s guitar riff abruptly stopped in deafening silence!

Hard drive crash.

I felt a familiar gut wrenching sickness in my stomach as I attempted to reboot the laptop.  I spent at least an hour turning it off, letting it cool down and firing it back up.  Nothing.

Finally, I found the keystrokes that took me to the reinstall utility, and the only option it was giving me was the overwrite the hard drive and restore to factory defaults.  I knew this meant that all of the photos and videos I had done over the last 12 months were going to be vaporized… all the testimonials I had gotten from my customers, the videos from events, the pictures of me and my new friends.

I hit the button that said “OK, take me back to a simpler time when I didn’t have a full hard drive and didn’t have over 100 software programs installed on my computer…” and winced.

The restoration took over 2 hours and 4 attempts before it finally succeeded.  I guess the formatting was not successsful on 3 of the tries and it really needed to wipe that drive really well before moving on to the installation phase.

During that time, I kept remembering different things that were on that partition.  The roboform data for over 500 different websites. The software that I knew I would probably never install again…lol, because I probably won’t remember that I had it.  All the camtasia videos I did of how to install wordpress.  In fact, the PLR videos I was planning on selling went up in vapors too, my depression was spiraling into a headlong nosedive as windows restoration services worked hard on erasing the last 2 years of work…

Woke Up This Morning, My Dog Was Dead…

I awoke feeling grumpy.  Grumpy looked at me and told me to get out of his bed.  Dang cartoon characters…

I immediately remembered the tragic loss I had suffered last night.  Then I remembered the loss I had suffered last weekend while I was at jvAlert with a couple hundred of my newest online friends – my dog Rocky had passed away at a ripe old age of 10 years.  His mother had passed away at about that age, too, which is probably a genetic defect, but we had love to take long walks together and now I remembered that my walking buddy was gone, so that I wouldn’t be able to go out and take a walk to forget about everything.

Friends – The Cure For The Common Life

I had reinstalled tweetdeck last night, and set it up for my  twitter account.  So I tweeted a cry for help:

http://twitter.com/MichealSavoie/statuses/1215507095

And in a few minutes the responses helped bring my smile back.  Including the following video:

Validation

After spending the entire 16 minutes watching that video, I felt like myself again and stopped feeling sorry for myself!  It is amazing to have an extended family of thousands of people who can bring you a smile at a moment’s notice!  Thank you Heather for the smile!

How To Make $250 Per Hour From Your Dining Room!

One of the things that I had started working on yesterday (luckily I had 2 paragraphs written so no big loss) was a report where I could show a complete newbie how to make $250 for an hour’s worth of work that he or she could probably outsource to a teenager in their neighborhood for $15 per hour.

Once you have this down to a system, you can teach someone else to do it for you and spend your time selling more accounts while your new employee does it for you!   With this business model, you can become a major source for web traffic and all the pieces that people need to get it.  Read about this business model on my traffic blog.

Backups, Anyone?

Now if you were to become proficient at installing blogs, you could also tell the same small businesses that you could install and maintain a blog for them for $97 setup and $37 per month to keep it updated and backup their database.  It would be a piece of cake to do the installations if you are already a student of MyBloggingSchool.com, and the backups can be done with a macro in the Easy Button Marketer software package so that you can set them up to happen automatically each week.

As you can see, in this economy, you are only limited my your imagination and your drive to go out and find the money, because the opportunities are there for everyone who has a desire.  I will be writing this report in a pdf format and offering it for $7 (it will be more detailed) but I figured I would give you a sneak preview for free!

Now get out there and make your mark on the economy!

If you have been following me for any length of time, you already know that I was selected for Ken McArthur’s Impact Action Team. I was totally floored when I found out, and then I was panic-stricken because I have to accomplish so much to get myself there.

So here is the deal – I will be off the radar for most of the coming weeks except for an occasional post here to let you know that I am still alive and what I am doing to get ready for the Impact Boot Camp in Philadelphia a week from Friday!

If you are in need of information, you can use my help desk, or call me at 352-257-1332 and I’ll do what I can to help you with whatever it is. My clients are making great strides in their marketing, and the buzz that they are generating is amazing! Keep your eyes peeled for Mr. Ebay as he is making the Podcast circuit.

I am offering sponsorships for the next 3 to 6 months for companies that would like to get some extra publicity, since the Impact Action Team will be generating a LOT of buzz over the next 3 months. I will be getting a lot of traffic and making a lot of media appearances as we get the word out about The Life’s Golden Ticket Event in Los Angeles and some of the other projects going on! So if you would like to sponsor me in my travels in return for mention on my blog and on my home page as well as in any speaking engagements, just open up a support ticket or use the Donate button below:

For Donations of $2500, $3500 or $5000 I will be placing advertisements on my home page and on my blogs as well as mentions at the tail end of my videos. I thank in advance anyone who gives anything, because as you will see below, my story is interesting…

I am also working with Rachel Rofe and Jaime Mintun on a way for me to do seminars locally with Brick And Mortar businesses! This will definitely expand the income streams and help bring more new coaching clients into my fold. The goal is to have monthly seminars in towns nearby and help bring more businesses into the online world. With the new training package I am putting together for offline businesses, this combination will be a way to develop more business and help the economy by strengthening the grass roots.

Tell me how I can Impact you!
If you are struggling with something, please, let me know what it is. My mission in life is to help as many people as possible and to be accessible. So whenever you run into a problem that you haven’t been able to solve on your own, leave me a comment. I will find the answer or point you in the direction of the person that does have the answer.

Calls of the WILD…
Teleseminars are coming again! The first call you need to be on this week is the Faster Webmaster Erik Stafford’s call on Wednesday evening! To get on the call, you just have to register here…

Leave me a comment if you want to hear from specific people and I will get them on a call. I am serious when I tell you that I am here for you! We are in this together and I have a lot of amazing friends in the marketing world. If you would like me to schedule a call with any of them, just tell me which one (leave a comment or a help desk ticket) and the most popular ones will get scheduled!

Point Of Impact
The whole reason I wanted to sign up for Ken’s Impact Boot Camp and the Impact Action Team was that for a while I felt really insignificant. Sure I was making a difference with the people at work and my family, but sometimes you get that feeling inside of you that says, “I want to do more…”

So I started praying about it. I asked God what I should be doing to help the world. The answer didn’t seem to come. I repeatedly prayed that prayer and the next day I was faced with the same tasks daily – go to work, come home and work on my business, sleep and start all over the next day.

I attended jvAlert Live in June and as usual, I felt insignificant there, because so many people with such powerful ambitions were already making an Impact, and I was struggling to pay for a hotel room – in fact, I did not even have the means to pay for a hotel room while I was there. I was wandering around with my luggage, not sure what to do when someone offered to let me share their room.

You don’t know how humbling it is when you are at a hotel full of Internet Millionaires and you don’t have the cash to put yourself up for the night. I fought tears for most of the weekend, but I placed myself at everyone’s service while I was there. If someone needed something, I was on it. But inside, I thought, “what the heck am I doing here?”

During that weekend, I made some sales of products, so I was able to eat, but I still felt like I was missing something. I was sitting in the restaurant on Sunday evening thinking I had pretty much hit the bottom and that the only way to go was up, when Ken came by and thanked me for helping everyone out during the event. I thanked him for the opportunity to serve, but Ken looked at me and said, “what do we have to do to get you where you want to be?”

I was dumbfounded. I really didn’t know how to answer that. Short of an infusion of a few thousand dollars, I didn’t see what Ken could do for me that he hadn’t done already. My first thought was to define what I really want to do, and I explained to Ken that I was at a point in my business where I was treading water and that the time I was spending at work was hurting my momentum. So Ken told me to fill out the questionnaire and submit it to his personal assistant and that we would schedule a phone conversation to help me figure out where I want to be.

Things Get Better, Right?
So I flew home. Still worried (one thing about worry… it will defeat you – the more you worry, the more energy you devote to the negative event and the more of that negative event you end up attracting) about how I was going to get my car out of the airport parking garage when my flight got home, I sent a quick email out to my list about a product I had promoted for the past month, and sales had dropped considerably. But I had the amount in my mind that I needed to achieve to be certain that I could pay for tolls and the parking garage.

Miraculously, I arrived at the Orlando airport to find the exact amount I needed to pay for the parking garage in my Paypal account. Excited, I hurried home! But things at home had gotten worse. Our mobile home had been ravaged by hurricane Frances in 2004 and the $3000 we received from FEMA to help fix it up was barely able to fix a 28 year old mobile home. Back in the ’80s, most mobile homes were created with particleboard flooring and the humidity from having the underside of the mobile home exposed for that short time was enough to start a chain reaction and over the last 4 years the floors have begun to rot out from under us.

New holes had formed in the bathroom, the hallway and even in front of the front door. Suddenly, our home was a hazard to live in. Since June, the weather here in Beverly Hills, Florida is rainy, hot and humid. With all this rain, we soon discovered that the roof has sprung a couple leaks and is hastening the floor disintegration. Now I think to myself that I have really hit the bottom.

Your Mission – Should You Decide To Accept It…
That is when I hear back from Ken’s office that I have been accepted to the Impact Action Team! They tell me that I have to be able to travel to Philadelphia again for the training and then to Los Angeles to attend the Life’s Golden Ticket Event! I am excited, but my wife sprinkles a huge dose of reality on me… “What about the floors and the roof? And have you seen where mold is starting to grow in the wood around the leaks? I think we are allergic to it.”

Smack! That dropped me to my knees.

To think that my dream is about to be achieved, that I could be able to help make a difference in the world, but my own world is about to engulf me. That is why I am telling you this story. I am living proof that dreams can get drowned in reality if you let them. But, I have a life jacket.

Surround Yourself With Winners
I am fortunate to be friends with hearts bigger than Texas. They also have attitudes that tell me that nothing is going to block me from my dream as long as I focus on it. I have never revealed any of my circumstances to anyone before, but last night as I was tossing and turning and listening to the sound of the air conditioning fighting against the influx of warm air through the floorboards (floormush?) and other unidentifiable sounds (my imagination at 3am can really take me to strange places, so I tried to think about something else) that it hit me that I need to write down what I am going through. This is going to inspire someone. It isn’t very inspiring to me, since I am living through it, nor to my wife and three daughters, who have almost lost hope in their father’s ability to make good decisions because I choose to follow my dream.

We all start somewhere. I am here in this semi-shelter planning on the day when I can get a burn permit from the county and set fire to it as we start construction of a real home. I have a plan mapped out, now. I did not let my dream get dowsed by the rain dripping through the ceiling. I navigate through my hallway a little differently than most people, but I have a plan in place to make this a temporary situation. So with the descent into the depths of despair, I found that sometimes that is the only time we can actually listen to God’s whispers to us. It seems like when you have hit your lowest point, your ears finally open.

Of course, it is going to take a hell of a lot of convincing to get my family on board for this wild ride, because they are the ones having to fight the fight while I work at my job and work on my business plan. Thankfully, if I don’t have a family I can get encouragement from, I have mentors and best friends who are where I want to go and they encourage me, give me ideas that I can use to sidestep potential roadblocks and potholes (I am getting good at avoiding those with the practice I get in the house).

So the moral to this story is don’t ever give up. Last week, I wrote an email to Ken McArthur’s personal assistant to tell her that I was quitting. I told her to tell Ken that I was going to have to concentrate on my problems here, instead of helping others with their problems and possibly impacting thousands more people. I had reached my own limit of endurance.

The email I got back from her was like a jolt of electricity. It was like she had charged up the paddles of the defibrillator and applied them to my chest and yelled, “clear!” and then poured on the juice! My lifeless dream took a sharp intake of breath and its heart started beating again! I no longer cared about the critters in the walls and the floors disappearing under my feet, because I know that with just the right amount of massive focused action, I can get rid of any obstacles in my way. And if my wife doesn’t understand right now, I feel for her, I love her and I want her to know that I will make this work no matter what she thinks or tells my daughters. The impact that this will have on their lives will be more immense than they will ever know. The people who will be touched by my story will one day make a difference in the lives of my grandchildren!

So take a moment and define your dream. Really put it out there for the world to see instead of keeping it close to the vest. Because if you don’t let anyone know that you have a dream, you don’t really have one. Until you have been laughed at, made uncomfortable, told you are crazy for thinking that you can make something of yourself because of where you came from, or threatened with divorce – you don’t even know if your dream is worth fighting for! This is my dream for you!

Have an amazing day!

PS – I am drained after writing this. It is rather cleansing… I also know that this is a time when I could have been writing a blog post to try and make some money by selling you something.

But I am selling you something. I am selling you on your dream! You need to buy into it. Until you have, nobody else will buy into it, either!
