Epic Fail Friday!

Posted in Miscellaneous on 27 January 2012.

Hey – just wanted to share something a bit ‘different’ with you…

Earlier this week I spent almost £1k testing out a new a pay-per-click campaign that completely TANKED. And when I say ‘tanked’ I mean it didn’t make a single penny!

Yep, it was a real EPIC FAIL!

I tell you this because I’m aware that a lot of the ‘experts’ give the impression they get it right all the time… that it’s nothing but success and big paydays.

IT’S BULLSHIT.

We all make mistakes from time to time. It’s what makes us human.

Richard Branson went bankrupt.

Stephen Spielberg got bad reviews.

Heck, even the ‘untouchable’ Simon Cowell just admitted that 2011 was one of his worst years in business ever!

The reason I’m sharing this is I want to let you know that it’s ok to mess up. It’s ok to get it wrong from time to time.

What really counts is what you do next.

I get frustrated seeing too many talented people give up far too easily, just because their first webinar/seminar/marketing campaign didn’t work out how they wanted it to.

And I think the reason for their lack of persistence is they ‘think’ that the experts get it right all the time. Well, we don’t.

Anyway, i just wanted to let you know that if you have screwed up recently… you’re not alone!

Get back up, dust yourself off, and go again.

That’s what WINNERS do.

And if there’s anything I can do to help you, please don’t hesitate to ask.

That’s it for today :-)

Speak soon,

Nick

PLEASE NOTE: There are currently just 2 spaces remaining in the 2012 Six Figure Mastermind Group and the deadline for applications is midnight TONIGHT!

FAQ’s:

Q: What are the criteria for joining?

A: To be honest, this group isn’t for everyone. It’s expensive to join and will require hard work. 
It’s a small, tight-knit group of people who will get together on a regular basis, hang out, share ideas, and generally have a great time. That’s why I’m being a bit “picky” and asking everyone to go through a strict application process before I let them in :-)

Q: Are the group discussions confidential?



A: in order to fully participate, you’ll need to be willing share your results and secrets with the rest of the group. That’s the whole point – to create a high-quality peer group who support one another to explode their businesses! However, everyone in the group adheres to a strict confidentiality agreement.

Q: How do I know it will work for me?

A: You don’t. As with anything in life, you only get out what you put in. You have to be willing to consistently implement. In other words, you’ll have to work! You’ll also need to travel to my home on a monthly basis for group meetings. However, to put your mind at rest you have 3 months from the time you join to have your initial one-to-one consultation, come to the group meetings, and implement everything you learn. If at any time within the first 90 days you don’t think it’s for you, you can leave the group and request a full refund.

If you’re on the fence, you might want to take a look at some of the RESULTS the current Mastermind Group are getting:



£13,200 in sales from my first workshop!



“Nick’s help has been invaluable. After I joined the Mastermind I made £13,200 in sales from my first workshop.”

Andy Jackson



I made 5,000 Euros within 2 months of joining!

“Within 2 months of joining Nick’s Mastermind Group I’ve secured two new clients, one at 2,000 Euros and one at 3,000 euros – and I’m about to launch my own Mastermind Group for women in Ireland!”

Susan Bourke



Sold One of My High-End Packages Within 4 Weeks!

“Following my excellent in person session with Nick last week, I was encouraged to take selling action. And whilst I’ve not yet done all of my agreed actions, am really pleased to have sold one of my high-end packages within the first 4 weeks! Whilst I still have much to learn and a way to go, thank you Nick and fellow masterminders for your inspiration which has helped me take this first step.”

Kamerine Neo



Covered the cost of membership within 4 weeks!

“Since I joined the Marketing Mastermind things have really snowballed. With Nick’s encouragement, I ran my first webinar in mid-December. I had a 100% registration to attendance rate which is pretty unheard of, and on the back of the webinar have managed to sell 2 four-figure coaching programmes which will entirely cover my cost of being in the Marketing Mastermind for the year. Those results weren’t in my plan when I said yes to the Marketing Mastermind and definitely running webinars wasn’t something I was going to do. What can I say? I expected a good return, but the cost of the course back in sales closed in 6 weeks with NO LIST to start with is a pretty astonishing result actually. What’s more is that I’ve grown my list using Nick’s methods and will undoubtedly make possibly 10x the cost of the Marketing Mastermind in the first 3 months of 2012 down to the methods I”m learning with Nick. Was joining Nick James’ Marketing Mastermind a good decision? I bloody well think so and I’m only 6 weeks in – 52 more to go. Who knows what’s possible in 2012! Thanks Nick… ;)
