I hear the above statement over and over from business owners I talk to.

I know many of us THRIVE a lot more when we’re surrounded by people who support us, hold us accountable and who inspire us to rise to greater heights.

This is why I’m inviting a select number of dedicated entrepreneurs to join my highest level coaching program – The Thrive Coaching Program.

The Thrive Coaching Program connects you to a handpicked group of intelligent, go-getting, caring entrepreneurs who will move you forward in ways you’ve never experienced before.

If you have a business that you want to grow to 6-figures and beyond, then join our group and let’s do it together.

To find out if you are a candidate for this coaching program fill out the enrollment form below and receive a FREE SuccessDNA Assessment and the Thrive Coaching Program brochure and application.

The brief enrollment opportunity ENDS at the end of May, which is only a days away. This has been one of the most transformative years of my life, and I know it has been for many of my clients as well.

Throughout my coaching sessions, calls, and business-building retreats, I’ve watched so many entrepreneurs step out of uncertainty and into the most successful year they’ve ever had, both financially and personally. And I’d like to expand the circle to include you. I look forward to working together to make your business dreams come true!

~ Mickey PS: If you’re curious to know what business-building topics are covered in the program, just download the brochure and application by typing in your contact information here:

But there’s one caveat – this isn’t a program that’s about sitting back and learning. I’m putting emphasis on implementation, giving you clear “how-to” instructions, and supporting you to roll up your sleeves and really create the business you want. I will hold you accountable to follow through and make things happen.

Remember when starting a business was your dream, being your own boss, being the best at what you do, whether it is building a widget, providing a service, but then you figured out you need clients and that sales was a necessary part of what you had to do.

Professionals, doctors, lawyers, accountants, business owners of all types, we’re all selling all the time. But many of us generally either suck or are not thrilled about selling ourselves. (this may or may not be you)

I’ve found that one of the best ways to build a steady stream of leads in this new digital economy without doing what may not your most favorite thing to do (self promoting sells), is to provide great content (using today’s social media resources) to your clients and customers and then follow through with incredible Raving Fan service.

The more you give your best content and work, the more momentum you will build, the more raving fans you will develop, and the more referrals you will receive.

Listen and learn more about your market by using tools like Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, and other popular social sites that extend your networking activities. (You could resist the new technology but just know that everyone eventually got a cell phone.)
You can view my other blogs on using social media at www.mickeyobrien.com to see the different ways to grow your business and generate leads.

Here’s a few things to do in your business:

• Get clear on who you are (your personal brand) and don’t be afraid to tell it with passion
• Be different, carve out your unique niche, (check out GetInternetFamous.com or tv.winelibrary.com, they are being themselves, their own niche)
• Ask yourself what triggers a referral, then start to test different ideas and headlines
• Be social to get others attention, talk about what is important to them
• Create ways to take your online viewers (social buddies) and have a offline event
• Build a network of strategic partners, start with just two others to promote each other

There’s many tools you can use to make your social networking easy, see 40 Ways To Grow Your Business http://bit.ly/aPJN1O

Providing great content and watching the referrals come in works for all kinds of people, whether you’re a driver personality, influencer or analytical and reserved.

What is your main source of leads today? What would you like it to be in the next 4-6 months?

Here’s a few:
1. Create the cutting edge solutions and products in your industry. Hold surveys,
study success stories, and publish your observations.

2. Be the resource for what’s happening in your market. Host tele-seminars and classes,
write articles, and publish an industry blog.

3. Create a community in your niche. Start a social network, forum, a membership site, or host a live event to give people a place to network, gather and learn.

If You Want to Increase sales, Increase profits, Increase productivity, Increase client retention, Learn results-oriented marketing, so you can earn a $100-250K income – starting right now…

If You Want to Wake up Excited Every Day Because You Are Your Own Boss, And You Love What You Do For A Living – Every Day Having Droves of Clients Chasing You Down For Your Products & Services at Ridiculous Sums of Money…

…Then This Could be The Most Important Letter You’ve Ever Read.

Dear Serious Business Owner,

Do you want to,

• Live your Passion, be more profitable, work less, have a great team, and be more focused?
• Use the internet and social media to grow your brand and business, starting with almost no money, and get it quickly cranking out clients, one month after starting?
• Learn, practice, and master all the Business Success DNA skills you’ll need to get each client to say “I need your help”, and get them very motivated to want to hire you, and be a Raving Fan Client for years?
• Get the money you deserve by helping lots of people with your new Business Success DNA skills, eventually going from working in your business as a technician and to working on your business as a business owner, and calling the shots?
• Do all of the above on an affordable BUDGET for today’s economy?

Unless you are the exception, you probably can’t do all that without help. The brutal reality is,

Most Business Owners Never Achieve Business Success, Why?

Because business owners have two problems that they never learn how to solve:

1. Getting enough clients / making enough money
2. Going from a technician mindset to a business owner mindset

Have you had these problems yet? Chances are, if you haven’t yet, you haven’t even started your business.

You’re Not The Only Business Owner Who Has Problems Getting Clients, Making Money, and Getting Mastery Level Business Success Results.

There’s something that you may not know about me.  Before I became successful in working on my business success, I was like everyone else I knew in business, always working in it, reacting to the daily struggles vs. creating opportunities.

How NOT to Run Your Business

I grew up in business; I saw if you worked hard you got paid well. When I opened my first retail store in the 90’s I went to a million dollars in sales in under 3 years, wow, I thought I was my way to success. The next thing I knew was I had multiple store with multiple problems ranging from cash flow, employee problems, budgets, etc. Would you have taken my success advice at that point? 

I struggled with having more month at the end of my money for years, and when times got tough I got help from family members to make financial ends meet.

From 1999 to 2007 I was in the finance business as well as had a successful commercial finance training company were I built a very nice income, and in 2007 I lost everything when the real estate market died.

I Realized I Needed Help, And I Immediately Hired a Top Coach That Was Making a High 6 Digit Figure Income a Year to Mentor me in My Business.

I figured that, if he could make a high 6 digit figure income a year, I could learn to make six-figures. And when he showed me how to do things like:

• Create a real company that is designed so that you don’t have to be at work every second of the day
• Give you back the confidence and passion in your business and personal life…
• Generate lots of business
• Use the internet and social media to grow my business
• Do demonstrations vs. presentations that actually turns into a paying clients

He Gave me The Secrets of Cranking Out Clients And Making Six Figures as a Business Owner

I quickly built the Business Success DNA Academy using the coaching methodologies that he taught me about, while I continued to add the right coaching services to my business, and within 6 months, I was celebrating tens of thousands in profits while taking trips to Hawaii and Napa enjoying my family and life. (I was able to run my business while I was on vacation without any worries).

3. Repetition (You need to have ongoing support and practice after you’ve immersed yourself)

Be a World Class Business Owner

You’ll become a world-class business owner. If you are already a fantastic entrepreneur, you’ll raise your level of business acumen up several notches while you’re in the Business Success DNA coaching program. If you continue to apply yourself using the methodologies and technology that you’ve learned, you’ll eventually be one of the top businesses in the world.

Achieve Personal & Professional Breakthroughs

The next result that’s very common to almost everybody that goes through the coaching program is that they get personal and professional breakthroughs.

You’ll take more action than you’ve taken in a long time. You’ll be more intensely focused on results than you’ve been in a long time because you’ll be sharing your results and goals.

You’ll be rigorously held accountable to follow through on the actions that you need to take, so not only are you thinking differently, but you’re acting differently, as well. That combination of thinking and action come together to guarantee that you’re going to get personal and professional results that are way beyond anything you’ve probably experienced before.

You’ll see things like:

• Productivity (Getting Ahead): Get much more productive and get ahead of the game. You may find yourself saying, “Wow, I’ve never been this productive,” or, “I’m finally ahead of all the work I’ve been trying to get done.”
• Changes: Make major changes, including business and personal changes, that you’ve been putting off, or that you now realize must be done.
• Inspiration / Insight: You’ll get insights into what’s really going on with you (and other important people in your life). You might even see a different side to yourself that you never saw before.
• The End of Being STUCK: This really becomes the end of being stuck for you. If you feel like you’ve got that inertia or that entropy in your life and you just need to break through it, this environment is going to heat you up so that that explosion of new results and new activity actually happens.

Get the Knowledge You Need to Make The Dream YOUR Reality

What would it feel like when you successfully grow your business in 30 days, and generate a minimum of $1000 per month income in that same period of time? (I will not take anyone on as a client if they don’t believe that they can increase their business by at least 3 times the cost of this coaching program)

How would that feel?

What would that look like?

Just imagine that right now.  Take a second and give yourself a gift of what that vision would look like. 

Even though it may not seem like that ‘big a deal’, it’s a huge deal to get started.

Anything is possible once you achieve that.

If that vision excites you, then do whatever it takes to take advantage of the Business Success DNA Coaching Program.  It will be an experience that will stay with you for life.

Today, you can get the Business Success DNA Coaching Program, including business success coaching methodology that works, weekly group coaching, individual coaching each month, our client workbook which contains twenty years of Coach Mickey’s research and implementation of what works in business, 13 chapters of articles, quotes, charts, and handouts that you can use for your business.

A relationship with Coach Mickey, a network of other business owners to hold each other accountable and brainstorm with, an accountability partner, 2-Days Live Training with coach Mickey and world renowned trainers on Business Success DNA and the new Internet Money Making Machine for $3,750, or 6 monthly installments of $625. If you haven’t already made a decision on this one way or the other, make sure you talk to somebody about this or go somewhere to get the training you need to produce the dream you have for your business.

I want you to have this dream.

I want you to experience this.

Sometimes it takes a leap of faith.

I’ve had to do that several times during my development as a business owner, as a coach, and in the beginning I had to make the biggest investment of time and money.

And this is the most challenging time because there’s the least cash flow, but that’s when you’ve got to do it. If you do it when everything is going well, that’s not the time that matters. The time when it matters is the time when you’ve got to make that initial investment… when you don’t have what it takes.

That’s when it really matters.

Because if you make that investment when you don’t have what it takes, when you don’t have the time…

when you don’t have the money…

when you don’t have the certainty that this is going to go great for you…

…then when you do get some of that certainty, some cash flow, you do now see that things are going to start working, and you’ve got the time to start training yourself, you’ll make that investment for the rest of your life. And that ‘psychological’ investment, that ‘psychological’ commitment is one of the biggest things.

Talk to me to see if this is a good fit for you. We won’t lead you down the wrong road. We don’t want anybody to be a part of this that is not a good fit, that’s why you have to apply. We don’t accept everyone that applies.

Set Yourself Apart

Make the commitment to set yourself apart from the rest of the business owners out there.

The surveys that we’ve done say that 80% of new businesses within a couple years fail to produce the kind of results they want to, and soon after they’ve got to do something else. Your clients, your employees, your team members all want to be a part of a successful business, this is where your SuccessDNA comes in.

I’m not saying that’s what it takes to get started. You can get started right now in business, you can continue doing what you’re doing. But if you want to be successful long term, you’ve got to learn this technology, you’ve got to learn your SuccessDNA and how to sell and market yourself, and you’ve got to take yourself to that next level of leadership because that’s what the world needs at this point.

I can promise you this: The Business Success DNA Coaching Program will be an experience that you won’t regret and it will definitely be an experience that will stay with you for a very long time; probably much longer than you can even imagine.
