How to get NAMS7 Workshop Ticket?

By 5 Comments

Can you believe I’m already talking about NAMS7?

NAMS7I just finished repacking the equipment and putting it in storage for the next workshop – NAMS7 – in February – dates are 10-12.

And we’ll be in the same hotel. But already, people are scrambling to take advantage of the member discount to get locked in on the NAMS7 workshop.  And with good reason. I had a frank discussion with the hotel about our workshop capacity and how many people we could accommodate. We were pretty close at NAMS6. So, my feeling based on sales is that NAMS7 will be sold out before the end September.

So, you need to get locked in now.

How do you ensure you have a ticket for NAMS7?

Right now, you have to be a MyNAMS member. (That launches Sep. 3, but you can lock in your membership now with a  90% discount using the coupon code MYNAMS90.) And once you’ve become a member, you can signup for the NAMS7 workshop using the coupon code “LifeChanging” to get the workshop for $97.

If we don’t sell out in September (I’ll be REALLY surprised), we’ll open up the workshop to non-members for $497.

So, it’s a two step process:

  1. Become a MyNAMS member
  2. Select NAMS7 when it appears (input your coupon code)

I’ve created a video to help you understand how and why we’re doing the workshop this way.

Write about your big discovery at NAMS6…

By 15 Comments

What was your biggest discovery at NAMS6?

On Monday, maybe Tuesday, following the NAMS6 workshop, you were probably driving or flying home.

Incredibly tired, yet exhilarated, you probably kept thinking about something you learned at the NAMS6 workshop.

It was a light bulb moment for you. And you couldn't shake it. It was probably something that you wanted to implement right away. Maybe you did it before you left the hotel. You may have even implemented the technique before you left the workshop session.

That was probably your biggest takeaway from the NAMS6 workshop and that instructor was probably your favorite.

How would you like to tell the rest of us what you learned? We've set up the guest blogging platform so you can actually write it here and we'll publish it over the next few weeks. We had 27 instructors and 225 students, so it may take awhile to publish your article if it's accepted and scheduled.

And why wouldn't you. It's an opportunity to tell everyone about what you learned and get links back to your own blog / website. Oh, and there's one more good reason!

If you get your guest blog post published here at MyNAMS between now (Aug. 26) and Sep. 30, you'll be entered in a random drawing for a brand-new, delivered-directly-to-you, probably-blue Toshiba mini-notebook. We gave one of these away at the NAMS6 workshop to the student affiliate contest winner, Helen Raptoplous.

So, let's recap:

Write a few words (at least 250) about your biggest discovery or takeaway at NAMS6 by inputting it in the guest blogging page. It must be accepted by the editors (in other words, good enough to publish without much editing). It must run between Aug. 26 and Sep. 30.

A random drawing will award the Toshiba mini notebook on Oct. 1 and it will be sent directly to you. Just visit the guest blogging link and begin writing.

Yes, instructors can actually write about their biggest discoveries at NAMS too.

Post-NAMS6-Day1

By 3 Comments

NAMS6 (Niche Affiliate Marketing System workshop) is in the bag! And what a success it was!

On the day after NAMS6 completed, I'm totally exhausted!

After five full days of the NAMS workshop, more than 225 students, and more than 27 instructors to coordinate through 4 experience tracks, I think I deserve a break today.

Maybe I could kick back, watch a little True Blood or Entourage on HBO since I'm still hanging out in my hotel room.

Connie Regan Green swept the affiliate contest winning 2 mini notebooks and an iPad2

But you know, Im way too keyed up to relax. So, it's 1 a.m. Monday night...my eyes are on fire and screaming out to be closed for a few hours.

Before I do that I wanted to tell you why I'm so excited...

This NAMS6 group!

Let me just say it:

WOW!

These people are serious about their businesses, improving their lives and the world around them. And I want to be a part of that. These guys are taking off.

For example, our NAMS400 (advanced) track was bigger than our NAMS100 (beginner) track this time. We had to bring in extra chairs for the standing room only crew. The instructors commented that the brainpower in that room (NOT including the instructors) was more powerful than most other seminars.

And you have to ask yourself, "Why is the NAMS workshop growing exponentially when other seminars and conferences are struggling to stay alive."

I wish I could say it was because I'm so brilliant, but...

...my only brilliance has been to recognize and rely on that of others. People like Terry Dean, Nicole Dean, Lynn Terry, Bob Jenkins, Mark Hendricks, and many, many more instructors who show up with their hearts and minds exposed to give the students everything they can!

And then there are the 10-12 aides (helpers) like our Chief Aide and Technical Guru (yep, new title 🙂 ), 18-year old Magic Myke (Michael) Schultz who now runs our Aides program recruiting and evaluating the right folks for us to ensure that we have the right technical skills.

And there's our new sponsorship team including Deb Matthews, Dan Morris, and Todd Wilson who will be putting together a sponsorship program to improve the level of industry participation.

So, if you missed NAMS6, I'm really sorry! You missed one heck of a workshop!

The comment I get most from all the students and instructors alike is:

I want to go to all the classes in all the tracks. How can I possibly choose?

It's a great problem to have. That's why we record each of the sessions. Every student can experience the entire workshop from NAMS100 to NAMS400, from beginner to advanced.

We include the workshop presentations and all the audios for those staying in the hotel. For those who attended, but didn't stay in the hotel, we make a DEEPLY discounted offer to get the audios.

This time we offered it for $77 this week only. But it was so good and so helpful to the folks here, I decided to make it available to everyone this week only.

Get the NAMS6 audios here for this special price until Friday at 5 p.m. ET if you input this promo code: IWASTHERE

Next week, we'll offer it for $97 - still an incredible deal - but why pay $20 more if you don't have to. But you definitely want to get this now. Because next week, the price jumps to $297. And it's worth every nickel.

If you're not a MyNAMS.com monthly member yet, click that link because the 90% discount is going to be gone very quickly...

NAMS6 Schedule

How to prepare for your NAMS6 workshop

The NAMS6 workshop is just around the corner.

Yesterday, we talked about networking - or not - at NAMS6. Today we’re looking at the video I recorded about how to get the most from NAMS6. And tomorrow, we’re focused on the new MyNAMS membership site and why that’s important to your NAMS experience.

And as always, I'm futzing with the schedule a little more and making adjustments based on expertise and availability.

Today, I thought today it would be good to replay the webinar I ran a few nights ago for folks who are  coming to NAMS6. (And by the way, you can still get in with this special coupon code - 100special - to get a $100 discount before Friday, 8/19.)

During the webinar session (which you can watch below), we discussed everything from how to take the MARTA  train from the airport to where the nearest grocery store is and these other topics to make sure you're prepared for NAMS6 workshop:

  • What questions should you be asking?
  • Getting to the hotel?
  • Where to stay?
  • What's the schedule?
  • What's happing on Thursday and Monday?
  • What to bring?
  • How to network?
  • How to win the contest?
  • Sign up for your 15 minutes with Mark
  • How to get the NAMS6 workshop materials?
  • Will there be more Giveaways?
  • Where to sign up if you haven't?

Be sure to watch the video by clicking the Youtube link below after you download the presentation here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2ZA9oMJRfY

This hotel has fantastic conference facilities and we have almost all of the place to ourselves for the entire NAMS6 workshop.

But it's almost 20 miles from the airport. Your transportation choices are these:

  1. Rent a car
  2. Take a cab
  3. Choose an express shuttle service
  4. Con Dan Morris into picking you up
  5. Take MARTA

Let's talk about MARTA for a minute.

I HIGHLY recommend taking MARTA as the easiest way to get to the NAMS6 workshop . It's a very good and reliable rail transit system using a simple 2-step process: Get on. Then Get Off! People who ride it are friendly. Maps are well marked. And you can get on the system at the end of baggage claim inside the airport.

Best all, it's $2.

Two key things to remember:

  1. Get on the GOLD line at the airport
  2. Get off at Brookhaven station

Click on the map image at the right to go to the MARTA website for the Brookhaven station.

Once you get to the station, the hotel shuttle arrives on the hour to transport people to and from the hotel. Or you can grab a cab at the station for much less than the $35 to $55 from the airport.

To get more information and be well prepared for the NAMS6 workshop, watch the webinar above and ask more questions in the forum.

Networking at NAMS6

By 1 Comment

How to build relationships without “networking” at NAMS6!

Yesterday, I released the NAMS6 workshop schedule. Today we’re talking about networking and how to really make connections. And tomorrow, we’re focused on the new MyNAMS membership site and why that’s important to your NAMS experience.

I hate networking.

Hate the concept.

Hate the schmoozing.

Hate the guy networking me with a fake smile and a business card in his out-stretched hand.

Years ago, when I was doing business development work (also known as sales) for a technology company, part of my job was to attend business networking functions.

I was a miserable failure at that because I seemed to have SALES stamped on my forehead. I WAS the guy with the fake smile and business card in hand.

So, imagine my surprise when one of my mentors told me that one of my strengths is building profitable relationships by connecting people.

In fact, the quote was,

“Obviously, you’re a great connector. You bring people together and help them be successful.”

Really? It didn’t seem obvious to me, but that’s why I solicit other people’s views. I’m usually wrong in my self-assessments.

So, if I’m such a good connector, what am I doing right and why do I hate networking?

It’s because I have wrong perceptions about what real networking is. Even the word “NETWORKING” feels manipulative, and I don’t like that.

My new perception (and the one  you should adopt to build real relationships at the NAMS workshop) is that I’m meeting people and making new friends.

I like that. I love discovering interesting things about people. The journalist in me gets a real charge out of asking a lot of questions.

I also like to find the commonalities between us. And when I say us, I mean between me and one other person. Building relationships is a duet that’s performed by two people, not a chorus.

I can’t build a relationship with a list. I can build a relationship with you.

And finally, I don’t want you to help me. I’m not there to figure out how to get my hand in your pocket. I listen for opportunities to help you.

Those are some pretty good guidelines there.

Mark Hendricks uses these exact techniques, as do all of the instructors. During NAMS, Mark is all about helping you and build a relationship by giving you 15 minutes of free coaching to go over your biggest issue.

Mark gives NAMS attendees a 15-min strategy review, or whatever else you want to talk about. He’s done this since NAMS3 and it’s been a huge success. Fifteen minutes of focused conversation can turn your business around or help you target the most important goals for your business.

He’s done this with others and in usually 15 minutes together he can put together an action plan that you can focus on to help you have the breakthrough that you’re looking for. Prior to your conversation with him at NAMS, you will write down what you are wanting to accomplish and what you believe are your three biggest obstacles keeping you from your goals. It runs like clockwork, so do not be late!

This has been a very popular event at NAMS previously and fills up quickly – take a look at the responses below.

Thanks so much for the 15-minute “Empowering” consultation you gave me.

I am still blown away at the amount of valuable information you gave me in such a short amount of time. I now have a whole new business model to work with and ways to implement the very things that have been holding me back.

I can’t wait to have another consultation with you in the future.

Securely yours,

Mark Hendricks is one of the real guys. He was able to understand and get to the heart of what I needed to do in less time than anyone I have ever met.

I only had a short time with Mark, but the way he helped me get clear in my head what I needed to do, is more than hours of listing to audios, watching videos and reading other peoples stuff has ever done. I am looking forward to working with Mark on other projects and finally breaking through the barriers that have kept me from success.

If you can get close to one person and get some of his insight – by whatever means possible – make it Mark Hendricks.

Mark, I want to thank you so much for the 15 minute session.

What surprised me was that what you showed us, I thought I already knew – but then you made me realize I have not actually been DOING it!

You helped me realize that I must plan strategically, actually WRITE IT DOWN and then take action on the plan, and finish what I start.

You showed me how I need to be more disciplined and balanced to be able to achieve any type of long-term sustainable business success.

You also helped me to see different options for positioning my website and business to be more effective in making sales online.

I am daily using and referring to the planning tool you gave us, which is helping me stay on track and work toward my goals of a sustainable online business and more balanced and prioritized life.

Mark, I really appreciate your help, your wisdom and insight, your gift of teaching, your spirit of service and giving back, and most of all your heart and the inspiration that you bring to me and many others.

Thank you!
