I wanted to write to you letting you know about a HUGE problem I stumbled into when I first started Social Triggers.
And how my friend Marie Forleo helped me crush through it.
But for some reason, the words just didn’t come out the way I wanted them to come out.
So I decided to just share exactly what happened, and why this all matters to you.
First, I want to make one thing clear.
As you know Marie Forleo is in the middle of launching her online training where she shows you step by step, how to build a profitable online business (enrollment closes on March 4th)…
…And I’m offering an exclusive training package for those in the Social Triggers community who enroll for Marie Forleo’s B School (review and bonus)
(One piece of that is a live mastermind in NYC, but more on that later in the email).
I’m doing this because I get a cut for the sales I send Marie’s way, which is why I’m happy to sweeten the deal.
Cool?
Great.
Here’s my story…
Back when I started Social Triggers, I knew a lot about how to get massive amounts of qualified people to websites, and how to convert those people into leads and sales…
…but I knew NOTHING about creating training products.
I wasn’t a teacher. I was a marketer.
And that’s what I told myself.
So when I was developing my first training product, it was such a struggle that I was about to SCRAP IT.
I even went so far as to come up with reasons why I thought developing a training product was a dumb idea.
(When I say reasons why, I really mean BFEs. What are BFEs? Big freaking excuses).
“I don’t think it’s the right fit…”
“My subscribers won’t actually want it…”
“I’m not qualified to teach…”
And that’s when my friend Marie gave it to me straight.
(She has a way of doing that in person… in her videos… in her trainings…)
She said “What are you talking about? People LOVE your content.”
(I’m sure she sounded much more Jersey than that, but you get the picture).
She then went on to call me on my BS. She knew I had some kind of mental block, and she helped bust through it.
Here’s what’s funny:
Looking back, I can see how dumb I was.
I tell people they do the same exact thing I did, but for some reason, I couldn’t see myself doing it. I was blinded by my own actions.
Marie helped me set the record straight.
Even though, at that point in time, Marie and I were new friends, she proved to me that she was the type of person who cares about people.
And for that, I thank her!
Now why am I telling you THIS story?
I believe when you hear this story, you’ll:
1. Be inspired to build something.
2. Actually start building it.
You see, whenever you’re about to start doing something new–whether it’s starting a new business, investing in a new training, or doing ANYTHING–your first reaction is to come up with a BFE for why you can’t do what you were called to do.
(If you say this never happened to you, I’m sorry to say, you’re lying to yourself).
Today is the day you should STOP.
Don’t do it for me, though. Do it for you.
Now…
If you’re at the point where you’d like to build your online business, I believe Marie Forleo’s B-School is perfect for you.
You likely saw her videos already, but if you didn’t here’s where you can see what she covers in this 8 week training.
(What’s great is, even though Marie’s marketing is tailored towards women, I’m told there’s more dudes enrolling this year than ever before).
Now let me tell you what I’m offering as an incentive to enroll through my affiliate link.
(Again, I receive I get a cut, but that’s why I’m happy to sweeten the deal with these exclusive bonuses for the Social Triggers community).
Here’s what I’m offering you as a bonus:
* Advanced Training #1: Social Triggers Traffic Strategies
* Advanced Training #2: Private, Invite-Only Group Q&A Office Hours with Me
* Advanced Training #3: A Ticket to a Private Mastermind with Me (and your peers) in NYC
Yes, you read that right.
When you enroll for B-School through my affiliate link, AFTER you graduate from her 8 week program, you’re going to get those three advanced trainings at no cost to you.
(For the live event, you’ll have to cover travel and hotel, and etc, but you’ll get the ticket to the mastermind at no charge!)
All you have to do is this:
Step 1: Enroll for B-School right here
Step 2: Graduate from her program
And that’s it.
Marie will send me a list of the people who enroll for B-School through my link, and someone from my staff will reach out to you to get you all the details you need about the my exclusive bonuses.
(But remember — it’s only for people graduate from her program).
Do you want more details about what exactly you’ll get from these 3 advanced trainings?
I put together a page that walks you through everything you need to know right here:
Here’s the Marie Forleo B School Bonus I’m offering to you.
And on that note…
Talk soon,
Derek Halpern
P.S. Next week I’m releasing a new podcast with a professor from a top university. I truly respect this guy, and when you hear the podcast, you’ll learn some of the secrets behind how I entice people to share my content.
P.P.S. Enrollment for B School closes on March 4th, and I’m told she won’t open enrollment until 2014.
If I were you, don’t delay your decision. You can choose to enroll in this training (and take advantage of advanced training package I prepared for you) or not enroll. The decision is yours, do make sure you make a decision!
Here’s the link describing the advanced trainings I’m offering as an incentive.
