Hi Joe, Rob and John,
Good to see all three of you posting and I will, just like Rob, ask all three of you: "How are you doing with your
SFS Action Plan"? Howard, who is also a
SFS graduate, talks about FTI. (Failure To Implement.) This is a HUGE challenge for all of us, me included.
The Howard Partridge/ Phenomenal Products question is one I get from both our
SFS members and other carpet cleaners. My answer on ANY seminar/ course or coaching program out there is the same as John Burris said:
"(However if you implement just 10% of what ya learn, you'll make the money back... easy.)" If I was still in business today I definitely would at least check out what Howard is offering. (And yes, I am currently following my own advice. See the next paragraph!) IF you get a great ROI on any instruction, does it matter what it costs?
Now re: Howard specifically we're just getting to know each other professionally with our upcoming joint seminar, "Secrets to Building Your Business to Retire Wealthy" in Houston, January 11 and 12th. I'm optimistic about the synergistic possibilities of both of our programs. But check back with me on January 13th!
I will say I think this "Retiring Wealthy" seminar is very likely a once in a lifetime opportunity to see Michael Gerber of E-Myth fame partnered up with Howard and myself. Mr. Gerber is 71 and keeps a very active speaking schedule all over the world. Meanwhile I almost never accept speaking engagements outside of
SFS. (Only two this year. The "Retiring Wealthy" conference in Houston just because I was honored to be on the same program with Michael and also in April in Brisbane, Australia because ... well, lets just say Sioux has always wanted to see OZ!)
So I would strongly recommend you at the very least go to
http://www.bnpevents.com/ICS/SBYB/
and check out our "Retiring Wealthy" seminar. I call it the "sad little secret" of the carpet cleaning industry. We all make a good living BUT most carpet cleaning businesses never sell, they just wither away. This is so sad, because it DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY! (I sold my business and retired from full time work at the age of 38 and as all
SFS graduates will tell you- I am no genius. I can show you step by step how to do exactly what I did- and I will on January 12th in Houston!)
