Coming Full Circle


July, 2001. I downloaded a sample product. Little did I know I would get a phone call within 24 hours from the online seller! That's how I met Alex Mandossian.

Later that fall, at Alex's suggestion, I attended Jay Conrad Levinson's Guerrilla Marketing Bootcamp in Las Vegas. It was a pivotol event for me. I met Alex face-to-face for the first time. I saw my buddy David Garfinkel, talked with Joel Christopher and met Mark Joyner. And even asked Joe Vitale to take a picture of us!

But most importantly I attended my first Robert Allen seminar that evening. I was blown away. I felt such a connection to this man. Naturally I signed up for his mentoring program. There has followed more than 3 years of wonderful experiences.

In January of 2002 I invested in the Infopreneur Master Trainer program. Only 31 of us were able to participate and as promised, it's never been offered again. We not only spent 4 days with Bob and the crew, creating a full information product, but we spent the next year attending every event they offered. From Mega Book Marketing to John Childers' speaking program to the formation of the Enlightened Millionaire program, I was a front row participant.

I now teach a weekly teleseminar series for the Enlightened Millionaire Program. I often have students and clients say "Robert Allen told me to contact you." I have access to my mentor and my friend and it has made a tremendous difference in my life and in my business!

Why am I telling you this? Two reasons really. The first is that today Robert Allen and his partner Mark Victor Hansen start the presales of their new book Cracking The Millionaire Code: Your Key to Enlightened Wealth. They are offering a great package of bonuses when you order the book today. So check out this site.

The second reason I'm sharing this story is that it does not end there. You see, Alex and I have kept in touch as well. I've interviewed him for my courses and he's interviewed me. We've spoken at the same conferences. We've attended the same conferences. And we are currently working on several projects together.

So how does that affect you?

One of the things I've recognized over the years is that there are really two ways that you can get access to larger circles of influence - you can earn your way in or you can buy your way in. In the case of my relationship with Robert Allen, had I waited to earn my way into the "circle of influence" I might still be working on it. Instead, I was willing to really stretch my finances and go all out in order to buy my way into being closer to the sphere of influence. That's what I did when I invested in the Master Trainer program.

Just as with Robert Allen, people ask how I know Alex (and Armand Morin and Jim Edwards and Carl Galletti and a lot of other influential marketers online.) I have purchased my way in. By signing up for their programs, attending their seminars, taking their classes. Yes, it costs money and sometimes it's a stretch. But I cannot put a price on the relationships I have formed and the great results that have come about because of them.

You have an opportunity this week to buy your way in. You see, Alex and Armand have formed a special mentoring and mastermind alliance. We've already had our first four teleseminars and our first monthly meeting. And frankly, I've learned a lot already! Not to mention the company I have in the program! It reads like a who's who of experienced and emerging online marketers.

So you have a choice. You can wait and continue to earn your way into the circles of influence. That can take years - as many of the people who did not choose to invest in the programs as I did can attest. Some of them are still struggling to reach the level of success that will get them noticed by the gurus.

Or you can buy your way in and get immediate recognition and access to the leaders and mentors you need right now.

Go to the mentoring site and read about the program.

As you can see, you'll get many of the same privileges that have meant so much to me - the ability to attend seminars at a huge discount, front row seating, access to a group of sharp people in addition to your mentors, inside information, and a lot more. In fact, just the process of completing the 8-page application for the program was an eye-opener! It took me 4 days and a lot of soul-searching just to answer all of the questions.

And now we've come full circle. It was Alex who influenced me to attend the seminar where I met Bob. And now it's Alex offering to let more people into that world of influence. The cirlce will be complete. Will it be with or without you?

Go there now.

I want to sit next to you at the next seminar!

Jeanette
