Difference between 30 and 90 Day Challenges

By David Perdew Leave a Comment

I love Saturday!

Even when I’m working, Saturday’s a casual and very productive workday, you know? People don’t interrupt me, and I can really get a lot concentrated tasks completed.

It’s not yet noon (as I’m writing this) and my wife and I have already accomplished quite a bit on this Saturday.

  • I ran 4 miles this morning before 7:30 AM (yeah me!)
  • She and I went to Starbucks in town for coffee and our weekly business / family meeting
  • We planned our two Mastermind dates for the new VIP Members who joined us last week
  • We reworked our calendars to include the new coaching schedule that the Elite and VIP members get, and focused on the delivery schedule starting Monday
  • Now, she’s cooking for the Mother’s Day celebration with her 92-year old mom, and her niece and nephew tomorrow
  • And I’m at the office for a couple of hours working on the videos for the remainder of this month’s Video Marketing challenge

Are you busy or productive?

Big Picture - Seeing your future in Crystal BallAn essential element of accomplishing quite a bit is to focus on the BIG Picture.

That’s what the 90-Day Challenge is all about.

Without a big picture for your business and your life, you can’t possibly know that what you’re doing today will move you toward that goal.

But the good news is that it's completely up to you. You get to pick. It could be financial security, family relationships, health and wellness, or anything else you want.

But frankly, without knowing YOUR big picture, you don’t have a clue where you're headed. You're just going somewhere - anywhere.

There’s a huge difference between “being busy” and “being productive.”

Being productive means you’re tasks are moving you toward your ultimate destination.

My mother teases me all the time when she rides in the car with me saying, "It's not a car trip with David unless you go through a parking lot or two..." And it's true. I can't stand sitting still. I don't like to waste time. So, I will cut through parking lots to keep moving forward. (Even if I'm going in the wrong direction sometimes...)

So what is the 90-Day Challenge?

First, we also refer to it as the NAMS Academy and will eventually rename it completely to that.

Someone asked me the other day, "What is the difference is between the 90-Day Challenge and the Insiders Club 30-Day Challenges?"

The answer is simple.

The 30-Day Challenge – the monthly Insiders Club challenges – is specifically about essential business techniques. The Insiders learn more about these topics in a focused and collaborative way each month because every online business should be using these tactics to improve their business.

And they do it as a team working on the same topic each month to support one another. It’s a very successful model.

The challenge schedule is:

January Easy Kindle Publishing
February Business Operations with Will Mattos
March Social Media Marketing and Advertising
April Outsourcing Solutions
May Youtube Video Marketing
June Affiliate Marketing
July List Building Essentials and Advanced List Building
August Content Creation
September Simple Product Creation From Scratch
October Traffic Mastery
November Found Money: How to Create Passive Income
December e-Mail Marketing Mastery

The 90-Day Challenge (NAMS Academy) is completely different.

It is about you and your goals - or the BIG Picture in your life.

You start with a goal, and for 90 days, we focus on how to help you achieve that goal.

The small group in your experience track, led by me in a weekly hangout, supports you in that process.

For example:

  • Kelly McCausey wanted to add $15,000 in additional revenue to her income. She did $17k.
  • Ellen Finkelstein wanted to expand into new digital products with recurring income. She’s created a couple of new courses and coaching programs.
  • Debra Lloyd wanted to add $2000 to her monthly recurring income so she could have more flexibility to help her parents. She added $7k.
  • Gary Huff wanted to integrate two businesses he purchased and generate a couple of thousand per month in automated sales. He nearly doubled that goal.
  • Paul Taubman wanted to leave his job with integrity and without financial concerns. He did that right on schedule.
  • Karen King wanted to find a direction that used her skills and talents to drive a new path to part-time income while continuing her full time job. She’s now coaching students on publishing their books.

There are many more success stories. And we’ve only conducted two 90-Day Challenges.

How do you achieve your Big Picture goal?

Fortunately for you, we have another starting on Monday, May 11.

We already have 29 people signed up to start. Elite and VIP Members have lifetime access to the NAMS Academy so they can take the 90-Day Challenge whenever they want.

The 90-Day Challenge is going up in price to $3500, but right now, we’re offering it for $2500. It’s a great deal. Notice how many people in the stories above made so much more than that…

But I’ve got a better deal for you.

Join the MyNAMS Elite Club and you get all the benefits of the NAMS System for life.

Seriously!

That includes:

  • Lifetime: All Future 90-Day Challenges - group coaching (next starts May 11)
  • Lifetime: Daily eMail Coaching access
  • Lifetime: Open Office Hours one-on-one calls on Tuesday from noon to 2 pm ET
  • Lifetime: Insiders Club - never pay again
  • Lifetime: 2 tickets for each NAMS Workshop for life

Basically, you don't pay for anything else unless you decide to upgrade to the Mastermind or VIP levels.

Did I say all of those are lifetime?

The Elite program is $5k, but you won’t pay that if you get in before we start the next 90-Day Challenge on Monday at 7:30 PM ET.

You're getting an instant $1000 credit just for reading this blog post if you join the Elite program before the next 90-Day Challenge.

The credit makes your upgrade price just $4000. And you can even do 3, 6 or 12 payments.

The Elite Club is Level 4 in our NAMS Funnel.

Login on new MyNAMS

By David Perdew 3 Comments

How do I access my stuff on the new MyNAMS member site?

We are constantly changing the MyNAMS system to offer better service, access, support and training.

So, that means we’re in transition. We are moving to Infusionsoft and Customer Hub. And loving the personalization that comes with the system. But the transition is a little tricky. This is a completely new site with an Infusionsoft setup. We will maintain our aMember set up until we are completely migrated.

For the next couple of months, you have two access opportunities.

First, if you joined MyNAMS or purchased anything including free products in the MyNAMS system BEFORE March 11, 2015, click here to login to the site to access your products.

Second, if you joined or purchased ON or AFTER March 11, 2015, click here to login to the new Customer Hub to access your products.

LogintoSiteBeforeLogintoSiteafter

By the end of May, all products will be migrated to the Customer Hub and you will login in at Customer Hub to access everything.

The site layout and display is changing significantly during that time as well. You see some of those simple changes already. Don’t hesitate to leave your constructive feedback in the comments below.

Thanks for your patience. As you can guess, changing software platforms is a major undertaking.

12 hours at the office

By David Perdew Leave a Comment

Why my new office is responsible for much more productivity

I love my new office.

As somebody who always thought that they wanted to work from home for ever, I’m a little surprised that my office is working out so great.

     
This is probably the best productivity tool that I’ve invested in for a long time. I get so much more done at the office and so much LESS at home.

Finally, I realized that when I was working from home, I would do 12 to 14 hour days consistently, because the computer was there, and assume that I had worked the entire time.

But, actually I was just active, not productive.

At the office, I became more focused, getting more done in 6 to 7 hours, then going home at 5 or 6 PM to have dinner and spend the evening with my wife.

I used to stay up until midnight or 1 am, easily with my fingers on the keyboard trying to work even through a drowsy fog. I just told people I was a night owl.

But working from the office and being so focused I’m getting so much more done in less time.

And guess what? I am really tired by 10:00 PM and ready for bed usually.

But yesterday I did a 12 hour day at the office.

And it was one of the most productive and intense 12 hour days that I’ve ever had.

I thought I’d walk you through that day.

8:30 AM:

I got to the office. Made myself cup coffee and flipped on my computer.

8:50 AM:

I logged into GoToWebinar to join my Wednesday morning revenue accountability group. That’s a group of six people that meets every two weeks to recount our revenue achievement over the past two weeks and goals for the coming two weeks.

10 AM:

More coffee

10:15 AM:

I had a 45 minute meeting with Regina Smola about NAMS12 and did a little coaching with her about affiliate commissions, accounting and net profit.

11 AM:

I answered coaching emails from students for about 45 minutes.

Noon:

Met with Cathy Demers about a joint venture project we’re working on for the last part of July. Created a promotion schedule and to-do’s for each of us.

12:30 PM:

Wrote an email to my list about the new features in Simple S3 Video+ WordPress plug-in and scheduled that in my AWeber autoresponder.

1 PM:

Heated up my Lean Cuisine frozen dinner in the microwave at the office and ate it at my desk.

Started working on an article / e-mail that I would use in my affiliates toolkit as an email and a video.

2 PM:

     
Loaded the completed email in the affiliate tools page for this weekend’s Memorial Day sale on the Simple S3 Video+ WordPress plug-in.

Opened articlevideorobot.com and created the video that you see below from that article. That took me a couple of hours because I had to do a voice over and then edit it after I recorded it.

3 PM:

Answered Skype message from one of the instructors who had a concern about a video-only sales letter and requested a text only sales letter for the upcoming weekend contest.

I pulled the video script and created a fast text-only sales letter and created an affiliate link for him from that page.

4:00 PM:

Met with my bookkeeper and we went over the numbers for the first quarter. We hit the profit and loss statement and talked about our new accounting system that would encompass all of our financial picture including personal as well as business and our latest consolidations of bank accounts and corporations.

We scheduled an appointment for next Tuesday with the accountant at my office to go over future plans for the rest of the year, payroll set up and 2014 tax schedules.

4:30 PM:

Checked email and noticed a couple of bugs have been reported in the new version of the Simple S3 Video+ WordPress plug-in.

I notified the programmer of those bugs and what needed to be fixed.

Next, I did look troubleshooting myself to try to isolate the problem and determined that it was only happening on YouTube videos. I reported that back to the programmer along with a suggestion for an improvement by one of the users.

5 PM:

Set up my office green screen to record a video thank you for the people who purchased the Simple S3 Video+ WordPress plug-in promoting the MyNAMS Insiders Club as the upsell from that front end offer with a 30-day, $7 trial.

Got the video camera ready, but I didn’t have the right batteries for it or the microphone. Ran down to Dollar General Store about 1 minute away and picked up batteries.

I did a few video tests to make sure that the lighting, framing and green screen were set up properly. Then I changed my shirt from the T-shirt I was wearing with my shorts into the button-down blue oxford.

Shot the real video loosely using a script that I had created in about 15 minutes.

     
I did four different takes on that video shoot until I was satisfied with the result.

I opened Adobe Premiere for the first time (EVER) and realized I had no idea how to edit this video in Adobe Premiere with a green screen.

So I went to YouTube and found some short tutorials on setting up and using Adobe Premiere, editing a green screen video, and adding a video background. Took about 30 minutes.

Next I searched for free video motion backgrounds and found a site with one I liked. Added that to the video.

I finished editing that video about 7 o’clock and exported it to a really large MP4 file.

7 PM:

Then, I put the video in Camtasia and added the effects with the typography over the video. That took about 30 minutes.

Rendered that video, and uploaded it to Amazon S3, and created the short code for it in Simple S3 Video+ WordPress plug-in and edited a new version of the MyNAMS Insiders Club page to create a thank you page for the simple S3 video player sales page with the video added.

8 PM:

Packed up all of my video stuff, put my green screen against the wall. Sent a Skype message to Cindy to change out the thank you page. Closed down everything.

8:30 PM:

Called my wife and said I would be home in a few minutes. I had been at the office 12 hours working solid all day long.

I won’t do 12 hour days much anymore, because I can get more done in a 6 or 7 hour day at the office than I can in a 12 hour day at home.

Now, you see the glamour of living the internet lifestyle with your business…
