A Touchy Subject

Hey steve,

If you are paying yourself, building wealth, and creating a future nest egg, then it's a business.

If you're not making any money, then it's a hobby.

Being able to pay yourself makes all the difference.

Like it was yesterday, I can remember the gut wrenching feeling that quite literally made my stomach do flip flops and had me questioning if I was pursuing the right path or simply wasting my time as an entrepreneur.

Was this a business or just a hobby??

It wasn't that long ago when on 'bill paying' day I would pay what I could to the most important vendors and then low and behold, my available bank balance would be zero and that meant me, the President of the company I founded, I was yet again not going to get paid. How was that possible??

Have you been there, steve?  Perhaps you're there now.

WHY AM I WRITNG A SERIOUS & PERHAPS DEPRESSING EMAIL TODAY??

To be candid, I felt compelled to do so.

You see, as I was enjoying being on my boat this weekend, I kept thinking how we are six short days from closing the doors on my next Dream Business Academy and there are still five seats available.

And when my mind thought of who could or should be in one of those remaining five seats, I thought of a few entrepreneurs or small business owners who are really struggling and would like to attend, but just can't bring themselves to push the 'go' button.

So, as I said, on the off chance they'll read this email, I felt compelled to give a little straight talk, or tough love, to see if I can sway them (or you) into taking action and beginning the journey to a Dream Business.

Back to my 'no money to pay the President' story ...

steve, if having no money to pay yourself sounds familiar to you, I want you to know that it is definitely possible to turn things around and not only be able to pay yourself well, but create a business that will have you smiling every day and feeling proud.

I know this because I've done it for myself and I've helped several other entrepreneurs and small business owners turn their lives and businesses around too.

WARNING:  I am not about to tell you about some pie-in-the-sky new widget or secret marketing strategy that will create a 6 or 7 figure business nearly overnight. If you know me at all you know that's not how I roll.

The Dream Business Blueprint that I want to share with you requires some hard work, patience, and it also requires you to make an investment in your future growth and profitability.

If hard work, patience and investing in yourself and the future business you want to have are things that you're opposed to, then with all due respect, stop reading now and enjoy the rest of your weekend with my sincere wishes for success.

The Time to Act is NOW!

steve, I urge you so stop waiting for things to get easier and decide today that you are ready to turn the corner and start creating your dream business. Decide today that it's finally time to create your dream business and enjoy the lifestyle you want and deserve, and I can help you do it!

MY SIMPLE PROMISE: Spend a few days with me, my team, and several other smart entrepreneurs action oriented entrepreneurs in Philadelphia and I'll personally reveal to you step-by-step how to create a million dollar platform on a shoestring budget.

I'm ready Jim, take me to registration!

It doesn't matter what kind of product or service you sell …

I taught the first Dream Business Academy in Las Vegas to a sold out room and the reaction was 100% WOW and many big breakthroughs happened.

At this Dream Business Academy, I'm adding two more important modules.

  • How to Build Your Speaking Platform

    Plus, a topic every entrepreneur wants to know more about!
  • How to Write and Speak Magnetically Engaging 'Seed-based' Copy!

These two modules would be worth your entire investment!

I'm ready Jim, take me to registration!

Dream Business Academy is Not Your Run of the Mill Event!

The entrepreneurs and small business owners that attended our Las Vegas academy literally could not believe how much I pulled back the curtain on my business and shared everything about my entrepreneurial journey … the struggles, turning points, lessons learned, and big success principles, and literally every part of my Million Dollar Platform was revealed for all to see, learn from and implement in their business.

The Dream Business Academy is different from just about every other event you've attended for four important reasons.

  • While I teach multiple marketing and growth strategies, I also teach important mindset principles. In fact, one of the most impactful sessions in Las Vegas was titled: Mindset: Money and Success and during this module I shared in great detail about my early struggles with debt and no cash flow and how I finally broke through and was able to build several successful businesses.
  • This is also not your ordinary event where you listen to one speaker after another try to inspire you and tell you that with a simple tweak, some new software or widget, and just maybe an expensive membership program, you too can create a booming 7-figure business working only 2 days a week in as little as 60 days with little to no extra effort on your part! Yeah, right!

I have to admit, that would be 'oh-so-cool' to grow a six or seven figure business instantly and with little to no effort. But if you're anything like me, we both know that's not reality!

  • The Create Your Dream Business Now Academy is NOT A PITCH FEST!
    It is content driven and when you wisely choose to attend Dream Business Academy -Philly please come prepared to not only learn but also 'work on' creating your dream business.
  • Finally. My Dream Business Academies are small intimate events. Against all advice I received from some smart entrepreneurs whose opinions I truly value, I intentionally only rent small rooms. My gut told me that with a smaller group the information would be more easily absorbed and valuable connections made.

    Wow, was I ever right! Not only was I able to personally connect and talk with every single person in the room, but the other entrepreneurs also were able to connect, make some new friends, and a lot of sharing was done that I know would not happen if we had hundreds of people in the room. So, the Dream Business Academy will stay a small intimate event!

I'm ready Jim, take me to registration!

If Not Now, When?

If you are not currently enjoying the kind of fast growth and high profitability in your business that you want and deserve, then you need to take action now and claim one of the remaining five seats for Jim Palmer's Dream Business Academy – Philadelphia.

The doors are closing for good on Friday, August 9th.

During the two-day 'seminar' portion of the event I will conduct a few live 'hot seats' which are always popular and just as valuable for the audience as the person in the hot seat. As I said, I'm very good at spotting hidden opportunities and during the Las Vegas event we defiantly hit a few hot seats 'out of the park!'

Mastermind Your Way to Higher Profits

If you like masterminding and brainstorming ideas with other smart entrepreneurs then I strongly encourage you to also attend the optional third day in person live mastermind. Whether you have a hot seat or simply witness the action as others get their business analyzed – you'll walk away completely energized, excited, and with a pad full of actionable notes!
Okay, you convinced me Jim, take me to registration!
