After just 10 minutes, I understood why Ephren Taylor has grabbed the attention of major TV and radio networks (20/20, Montel, MSNBC, FOXNews, and hundreds more) with his amazing money-making abilities.
Now you get to be on live with Ephren for a full hour.
Ephren is the CEO of publicly-owned City Capital Corporation and author of the best-selling, “Creating Success from the Inside Out” (you can get a copy just for being on the call).
Government leaders at the city and state level are clamoring for him to bring in his programs to benefit their citizens, because everything he does is socially-conscious.
But he doesn’t sell courses or seminars… his team actually does all the work and his investors make the profits.
His socially-conscious programs revive older neighborhoods, create affordable homes for working-class families, turn tenants into buyers and change lives in a big way. While everyone else is crying in their milk over changes in the real estate market, Taylor keeps creating whole NEW markets, and actually has a waiting list of buyers!

He does it all through private investors, who can make substantial amounts of money… The SECRET is the win-win-win philosophy that
The bank and cities get better neighborhood, working class families get affordable housing, and the investors are getting a double return.. substantial income and a real chance to help communities

I’m a big fan of mentors. I have mentors, and mentor others as part of my consulting business.
I firmly believe that you should build a team of professionals, coaches, mentors and partners as you build your business.
RULE ONE OF ANY GAME: You can only get smarter by playing with a smarter player
However, a mentor is not the answer to every problem. Take the email I received this morning from Joe:
You name it and I probably have come across it, but am I making any money at it?
No Siree bob! Zippo money!This is so pathetic, this last Sunday was our 24th wedding anniversary and because of different things all coming together at the same time, we ended up spending the day eating peanut butter sandwiches and watching reruns on TV.
I read the emails and the advertising gimmicks are all very attractive but I just don’t seem to make a blasted cent anywhere I turn.
So, here’s where you come in:
I’m looking for a mentor or joint venture partner to help me generate a couple of thousand dollars from my site. That’s all. I don’t have all that much to spend at one time but can come up with $50 per month. (Actually more like a $75 but am using $25 on website hosting.) Obviously my goal isn’t to spend any more money or I would have taken the wife to a decent restaurant already and you wouldn’t be seeing this message.
You may recognize Joe in yourself and your own frustrations. Frankly, I recognized and identified with the position he’s in. I’ve been in a similar situation many times myself.
My first inclination was to delete the message and move on, but I got thinking about how Joe was feeling, and how I wished someone had responded to me when I was grasping for help.
Here’s what I came up with for a reply. What do you think?
JoeGreat idea.
You can’t make money, so you want someone to make money, and give some of it to you.
If you find someone like that, and they actually do anything but ask for money, send them my way. I’ve got web sites and partners making a lot of money that could use some more with such leverage.
Sorry if this offends, but I’d rather tell the truth than ignore your request.
You need to stop talking about what you know, learning more, and get to work. No mentor is going to do it for you.
There are hundreds of ways you can use your TIME to build traffic, create relationships and get off the peanut butter. (serious, if it’s that bad, a part time job would add enough to treat your wife to a dinner occasionally).
You know what to do, you don’t need another course. For instance, I would suggest joining http://ZeroCostPromotions.com and using our promotions to build your list. You have to have a list, but you know that right?
Mentors are great, but there is a good reason that great mentors cost money…
The MAJORITY of those mentored waste the time of the mentor and don’t do what he tells them. Assuming that mentors are making money themselves, the fees you pay them are clearly just a fraction of what they could make… and the frustration of trying to help someone that won’t follow through is almost as bad as being broke.
Good mentors are never in it for the fees they charge.
You think you are not like that, but you also state that you haven’t done anything yet (Zippo money!) How is THAT going to change? What are you going to do to change yourself?
Are you going to be the one in 100 that follows through? Are you ready to prove it?
Here’s my test.
- Subscriber to http://BookMarketingStrategy.
com (where I talk about “books” you can insert “ebook” or “website” or even “blog”) - Do all of the steps I tell you about. Each and every one of them. Most are free or very low cost.
If you do, I know I’ll see you online.
Your friend,
Warren
I looked up Joe. He’s a subscriber and been reading the free information I provide to readers of RichProsperity and some other blogs and sites in our network. He hasn’t yet sign up for my free course, so I wilil be able to go back and see if he signs up.
Since many of the steps involve free sites where I ask you to link to me as a friend, I will know if Joe follows through. I hope to report good news here soon.
What do you think? Was I too harsh? Should I have sold Joe another ebook or course? (I know more people take action if they pay.. maybe I should have taken his $50 to help him).
How about you? Have you been in “learning mode” for too long? Just what is holding you back? Take the simple challenge above and let me know you are the 1 in 100 that is ready to do something to make a difference in your life.
Post a comment here. I read them all, and will respond in future posts with any information or help I can share.

I was just just talking to my friend about the goals we had for this year and the wealth we are building.
After a while on the phone, she admitted that sometimes she felt like she was so far off track that she didn’t know if she would ever make her dreams come true.
Hey, we all have moments of doubt. Even if you are starting to get everything you always knew was possible, you still need to occasionally step back and look at things from a different point of view.
I recommended James Ray New Book
Take a look at the special launch offer today.
This may be exactly the one thing you need right now to break through and achieve what you have always known is possible.
Today I’d like to share the story of an client who leveraged a dream into new revenues of millions of dollars, with the formula you can use to model his success.
When I first met Matt Bacak, he was already known as The Powerful Promoter, working with up and coming speakers and authors to draw a crowd or boost their book sales.
Matt developed a formula that would works as a step by step system to generate all the leads a business needs. Over the next couple of years, he took on hundreds of clients, helped them set up his system, a turnkey package that an author or business can use to make sure they never have to chase down business again.
Imagine how you could grow if your prospective clients were contacting you.. asking to buy. It changes everything.
So when Matt told me he was sharing the system in a book, I knew we would have something people would want. We immediately made plans to launch The Ultimate Lead Generation Plan as a #1 best seller.
From December 29-31, 2005 we had millions of emails sent to opt in subscribers on hundreds of email mailing lists. The first day, we shot up to #1 at bn.com, the Barnes and Nobles online store. Thousands bought the book to read about Matt’s system. Thousands got excited by the 207 bonus gifts that were offered from people who purchase the book during that promotion.
When Barnes and Nobles stock was depleted, we switched to Amazon.com.. where the book went to the top as millions more emails were delivered.
A here’s the rest of the story..
You have seen the emails from our partners in these promotions. We regularly put together teams of authors, online entrepreneurs, newsletters and bloggers to launch a new book. The details vary, we add virtual book tours and media appearances and social media marketing to the mix, but the basic principle in a cross promotion is the same. We create buzz of all the partners, and grow together as we launch each best seller book to the market.
I want to tell you about two things that Matt did that resulted in massive success from this promotion:
First off, Matt understood that the book was not the income generating event for this promotion. In fact, donated the proceeds of book sales to Habitat for Humanity. We helped a good charity, and they were happy to let us promote using their name. This resulted in additional sales to readers who were interested in the work of Habitat for Humanity and attracted even more partners to the promotion.
But the biggest benefit to the Habitat connection was that it allowed us to remain focused on the real money making opportunity. The readers of the book were the best prospects for the course Matt taught and the systems his team put in place for authors and businesses. We knew that we would be investing in long term business growth for Matt’s business when he became a best seller.
The second key difference in the promotion for The Ultimate Lead Generation Plan was the tie in to Matt’s sales system.
Each book buyer was given a free consultation with one of Matt’s senior strategists. His whole team cleared their calenders and focused on spending time with any reader who accepted the invitation, providing many times the value of the book.
The results
New Prospects We had thousands register for a package of gifts, before the book hit #1
More Customers Thousands each day of the promotion.. thousands more as word of the event traveled.
Online Recognition New partners and co-promoter started asking to work with Matt and promote his programs
Publicity Matt got additional coverage about the book and the donation to Habitat
Sales Revenues Sales tripled in the first month, and doubled again the next month.
When you put a system in place to allow readers who want more to connect and buy, you will see much more income from those clients than ou will ever make on sales of your book. In Matt’s case, we were able to compare the conversion process to other working lead generation systems.
There was a big difference in the quality of the new leads and business. Book buyers were 3-5 times more likely to buy the program and training connected to the book. Once they had made the commitment to Matt and his book, they were more likely to buy, and more likely to get results from the program.
Matt has gone on to author another book that creates leads for his business, and implemented his formula in other businesses with annual revenues in the millions.
I have worked with authors using the formula and our best seller promotions to launch successful businesses around their book, or generate new leads and increased revenues for their existing businesses.
Today, you can’t just call Matt and buy this system. He spends most of his time doing implementation of the formula in his other businesses. However, you can have my Book Marketing Strategy course fore free. Just tell me where you want it at my free book marketing course
If you are on my mailing list, or sign up today. I also have a gift from Matt that will blow you away… I’ve been working with him for the past couple of months behind the scenes, and want you to be the first to see this. As an author, you are a business owner, and this is going to be the easiest business decision you make this year.
