Feeling energized after the break? I know I am! Just in time for the second half (six meetings) of the Profitable Marketing Machine Workshop. All sessions are conveniently scheduled at 8 AM Pacific on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Here's what's coming this week:
Tuesday, Session 7: Your Reputation
Your reputation is what people think they know about you. You can control that perception with just three powerful but easy strategies.
Thursday, Session 8: Pricing & Packages
How much you charge, where and how to present your products and services, plus how to get paid can seriously affect your profitability. Let's boost that up in this session.
As a reminder, participation in these workshop meetings is INCLUDED in all membership levels. So yes, you're invited and I hope to see you there! But if you can't make it, all sessions are recorded + transcribed for you. Plus the updated slides and handouts are there for you, too. Could this BE any easier?
The DIY will close for the Memorial Day holiday on Monday. So it should come as no surprise to you that there are no Action Calls this week because of Memorial Day.
Action Calls resume on Monday, June 7. I'm looking forward to that, aren't you?

VIP Friday [Friday, June 11, 2021] Zoom | 8:30 AM Pacific · 10:30 AM Central · 11:30 AM Eastern | DIY members only | Registration required | Member info link: VIP Friday
I was just looking at another marketing training membersite (competitive research), and I saw something that SHOCKED me!
Actually, TWO somethings.
First, the monthly dues. The DIY Insider membership is only $10/month, which is on par with professional streaming services like Netflix. The program I saw charges $25/month--that's 2.5 times our dues!
Of course, I had to wonder...where was the value? What was I missing? As it turns out, not much. Because...
Second, DIY members enjoy full access to all marketing classes and tools presented as regular programming. Unlike this other site, which drips past content slowly, forcing members to wait for access.
Again, I wondered: In this modern day and age, why be greedy and stingy?
It doesn't make sense to me.
Other stuff about that site didn't make sense either (like why would members pay the same for private coaching as randos, er, non-members?).
But I digress. The purpose of today's message is to let you know that I am building a new membersite! Yay!
And in the process, I've noticed that some of our older videos are not getting much interest. So rather than drag the older videos to the new site (fingers crossed, coming in August!), I wanted to give you a heads up:
If you want to keep any of the pre-2017 content, now is the time to grab it.
You'll know it's older because there is a download link instead of a streaming video.
My plan is to present updated versions of the best of the pre-2017 content in the coming months. But there are other new and exciting classes to do first!
Like "How to Write a Press Release for Small Businesses" coming in June. And in July: "How to Use 'Shock & Awe' Boxes to Market Your Business." Boom!
So bottom line:
DIY Insider membership is a great deal, especially compared to similar-ish sites
New membersite coming in August
Now is a great time to explore the huge archive of content in our site

My phone number is currently being spoofed by a telemarketer. Please simply block my number so that the telemarketer will stop using it.
Reporting my phone number as spam or fraud only increases the harm to my business done by a malicious third party spammer.
I am a small business owner, and rely on my reputation to make my living.
When a spoofer uses my good number to harrass or annoy YOU, it harms my business, too. Especially when you blame me for what some scammer is doing without my knowledge or consent.
Taking punitive action against my phone number hurts my business financially, so PLEASE simply block the spam number. You are not the only victim in the scam telemarketing schemes; my business is suffering because of it, too.
Thank you.

Have you ever wished for a magical time of uninterrupted focus? When the only item on your daily agenda was getting that one thing done? And you had a full half day to do it?
That time has come.
It's on Friday, May 21st, and it's called VIP Friday. It looks like 4+ hours carved out of your schedule for a single project. The VIP part means structure, accountabilility, and energy for your process. In three virtual (Zoom) meetings with your coach (me!) and colleagues.
We'll start with an early meeting to set goals, make plans, and get psyched up for the project. Then we'll dive right into the first uninterrupted 90-minutes of focus on your project.
Two hours into the process, we'll take a well-earned break.
At the break you can ask for whatever you need in the moment. Help if you've encountered obstacles. Resources, feedback, acknowledgement, or encouragement. Whatever you need. Because knowing I've got your back keeps you motivated and on track!
Then it's back to the project for the final round of focused intent. Another luxurious 90-minute+ time block to really concentrate and get stuff done!
At 12:30 PM (Pacific), just when you're thinking it's about time to break for lunch, we meet for the last time. To celebrate your progress, your successes, your accomplishments.
And so the week ends on a very high note.
You did it. You got it. You made it happen. You feel proud of yourself. Energized. Excited. Ready to start the weekend with a clear conscience.
Go ahead, enjoy it. You'll have earned it, my friend!
YES, all members have 24/7/365 access to the replays, tools, materials
YES, writing out your thinksheets for your blueprint design will give you clarity, confidence, and a real sense of purpose and direction
YES, it is smart to update your blueprint design on an annual basis to take advantage of leverage, lessons learned, changing landscapes, and new opportunities
