Mentoring Can Give You The Extra Edge

I’m often asked how I have been able to grow my business from essentially nothing to six-figures in under 2 years. It was this time 2 years ago that I took the plunge and made my first serious jump into internet marketing when I purchased the Butterfly Marketing Script and Home Study Course.
So you might say that Butterfly was the cause of my success. But that would be wrong (even though it has had a definite role).
But the truth is, that script sat on my hard drive for about 6 months before I put it to use.
There were a number of other things that I did. I certainly bought enough ebooks, video tutorials, and audio programs to fill up my hard drive. Then there were the resell rights products and the “business in a box” systems that I could load up and start churning out profits day and night.
Surprise, surprise, those didn’t work by themselves either.
The reality is that if I could point to one critical element of my business that put me in position to achieve what I have, it would have to be mentoring.
For about 21 months, I participated in a $500/month coaching program, the i5Gold program. Don’t worry – I’m not going to try get you to sign up for it (but that’s only because it doesn’t exist any more). This program gave me access to internet marketing experts who not only gave me strategies to implement, but they provided me with something much more important.
They gave me direct access to their brains, and then gave me a forum to meet others within the same program.
So each month, I got to ask Paulie Sabol, Mike Filsaime, Donna Fox, and Tom Beal specific questions that pertained to my business at that specific time. Instead of trying to figure out how some ebook could be applied to my specific situation, I was getting direct answers to my specific questions.
Then there was the forum.
It was in this exclusive community I met the following people: Frank Bauer, Martin Salter, Chris Morris, Matthew Glanfield, Tim Brocklehurst, Dan Kelly, Scott Tousignant, Lon Naylor, and many others. These names are probably familiar to you by now.
But back then, most of them were just starting to see success (just like me).
I then attended a seminar sponsored by that mentoring program, during which I met almost all those people and many more face to face for the first time. And at that seminar, I became part of a mastermind group that has met every Wednesday for over 15 months now.
Because of that mentoring program, I got to know one of the mentors much better – Paulie Sabol. Which turned into a real opportunity later in 2006 when he agreed enthusiastically to interview me as part of my Squidoo Secrets project.
Many of the people in the mastermind forum became heavy promoters of my earliest projects, and remain my top affiliates – even though when they were starting their lists were much smaller than they are now.
Indeed, I feel very fortunate to have found such a positive environment of like-minded people I could turn to for beta testing, advice, motivation, critiques, promotions and all the rest.
I know now that joining that mentoring program was the best thing I ever did, and the most critical step in my growth in business.
Now, I want to return the favor by providing you with the same benefits within a mentoring/masterminding program that I received from i5Gold.
Over the last 6 weeks, I have been growing my own group mastermind and mentoring program: my Inner Circle. The early results are excellent, with about 20 of us meeting several times per month to help each other move forward in business. I use my experience to help others overcome obstacles, and all the mastermind members are offering and receiving help for their own individual projects on a daily basis.
Some of the Inner Circle members are brand new to the internet marketing world. Others have had a lot of experience but little results to show for it. Most of the group are in between.
Earlier today, I re-opened the Inner Circle for new members, and I invite you to take a close look at what we do and how we can help you grow your business in 2008. You’ll see all the benefits spelled out very clearly…
When you become our newest Charter Member, you’ll receive…
- advanced strategy training every month to provide you with internet marketing lessons you can implement
- one-on-one question time twice per month to give you the opportunity to pick my brain about your specific business obstacles
- a forum for masterminding and finding potential JV partners for your own projects so you don’t have to build your business alone
- increased money-making opportunities from my sites so you can easily earn more from me than you pay in the mentoring program
- rebates on future purchases of my products and services so you can save money on your education
- and a lot more to help you grow your business.
I certainly don’t claim to be Mike, Paulie, Donna, or Tom… My experience online does not consist of making millions just yet.
But in many ways, I’ll humbly tell you that my Inner Circle is perhaps better than even i5. That’s because I have the teaching experience to structure the lessons for your learning. And because I’m relatively new to my success, I can remember very clearly what it is like to be working full time, have no money, go into debt to follow your dreams, and come out on top. I also specialize in showing you the How-to and the Why-to, whereas most coaching programs only offer one or the other.
And it certainly costs a lot less!
If you are ready to move forward, and you know that you need transformation, not more information, then check out my Inner Circle mentoring and masterminding program right now.
The Inner Circle is open again for a very limited time. In fact, I am closing it indefinitely on February 29, right before our next training call March 2. So now is the time to decide before I make the decision for you.
Plus, because I am confident that you will love working within our mastermind, I’m going to give you over 3 hours of training for free, just for taking a look at what the Inner Circle is all about.
See you inside the Inner Circle!

I was fortunate to meet Paulie Sabol at a few events this year and in 2007, and he is indeed a marketing genius. He can look at something and see two other projects before it is all over and done with.
People like that are definitely good people to listen to. I highly recommend getting into a mastermind with people at your level or above, to help you set and reach your goals.
Have an amazing day!

Bob may say he is NOT Mike, Tom, Donna, or me…
..but I say to you, that he has us on his side long after the ‘financial arrangement’.
So from my perspective, you couldn’t make a better choice than to connect with Bob as a mentor.
Warmly,
Paulie Sabol
