Think of your life as a passport with stamps from all of
the places you’ve been personally and professionally.

Where did you feel most at home – and most profitable?

My career path looks like a progressive tour through direct marketing
to sales management to copywriting to internal communications to
advertising to public relations to training and speaking in the insurance,
consulting, retail, steel, health care, non-profit, family business, spiritual growth
and a few other worlds.

Lots of faces, lots of places, lots of memberships, meetings
and associations along the way: NAHU, INSPRSA, 
Chamber of Commerce, League of Women Voters,
DMA, CWIT, IWOC, FUMCGE, YMCA . . .

Before I delve into a new world, I check out
the members. If I like what I see, I follow them to
learn as much as I can and get farther, faster.

When I wanted to transition from the corporate sales management
world into becoming a copywriter and communication consultant,
I joined the largest independent writer’s group in the Midwest.

The writers I met there encouraged me, connected me with
opportunities and showed my how to build my business.

And, completing NSA of Illinois’ Candidate University in May
introduced me to the inside secrets of what it takes to be a
successful professional speaker. Hint: it’s not all about presentation.
One of my most important insights is their giving qualities. 

While it’s pretty easy to check out a local association – just drive
over and show up, it’s more challenging to sync up with
a virtual global group of network marketers.

Or so I thought . . .

For months I took passes on offers to go to Internet marketing seminars.
It got so bad that even my kids were telling me to get out of Glen Ellyn.

So, when Jenny Hamby asked if I’d fly out to Alex and Armand’s
Customer Appreciation Seminar in LA, I said yes.

Over the course of my career, I’ve been to many, many meetings,
seminars and conferences. But I’ve never come home so excited and
optimistic about the opportunities for me -and for you, <$firstname$>.

I know I’m in the right place.

So, I’m in – way in with a membership in AM2Gold, Alex and Armand’s mentoring program.

Guess what?

I’m going to share my new world insights with you.

Stay tuned~

You’ll hear the real story I wanted to tell on my
call with Harris Fellman, the co-creator of 12 Week
Intensive.

It’s a story about basements, an octopus and a realtor.

And it’s all true.

After interviewing Harris and learning about his
upcoming Catalyst Code release, I enrolled in
the program right away.

He’s basically giving away the secrets of
how he made over $200,000
in 4 months – starting with no list
and no product.

That kind of success intrigues and inspires me
to motivate you to take the course with me.

So much so that I’m offering to match the cost,
$197.00, with $197.00 in bonuses.

Here’s what you get from me if you sign up at
http://www.codenamecatalyst.com/mtn:
-30 minute consultation valued at $175.00
-mp3 of ‘How to Transform Your Company
Into a Customer Magnet’ valued at $22.00

I have to tell you that by the time you
get this message, the program may be sold out.
Harris is only offering this opportunity
to the first 100 people who sign up.

So, what’s on your agenda this weekend?

Here in town, one of my clients
is hosting the Glen Ellyn Garden
Walk. The event benefits their
work in helping homeless families
transition to a brighter future.
Visit their site to download a homeless
curriculum guide for students in

Talk to you next week from LA ~
