Is This Moral Or Personal?
Posted by: kenmcarthur on: August 17, 2009
I just answered a half dozen e-mails from people who seem to be on their last financial legs and I have to tell you, I’m a bit worried.
When YOU are down on YOUR luck, it doesn’t matter that the economy is turning around for OTHER people and lots of my friends are hurting.
Even in my own business, finances are the worst they’ve been in over a decade.
I’ve seen good times and bad times and for SOME people right now is not all that great.
So they come to me and ask me what they should do.
What should I tell someone, who comes to me and tells me that his wife is coming to him asking how he is going to pay the bills and the only answer he has is, “I don’t know.”
If you are looking for a big success, it pays to be lucky and not everyone is lucky.
But, one thing is for sure and you can quote me on this …
“If you can’t seem to come up heads, you better keep flipping the coin.”
Ken McArthur
All I can do is tell you what I am doing and what I’m NOT doing.
- What I’m NOT doing is waiting around for someone to deposit money on my doorstep.
- What I’m NOT doing is waiting around to do NOTHING.
- What I’m NOT doing is doing the same old thing hoping the results will be different.
Here’s what I am doing …
Trying to solve real problems for real people in a way that they can afford the solution.
I just had a conversation this week with one of my mentoring clients and she told me that …
- She couldn’t believe the low price of the beta program.
- She couldn’t believe that I was the person who actually showed up on the mentoring webcasts.
Apparently, she had a bad experience with another mentor, who charged a healthy chunk of money and then rarely showed up.
That’s not me.
I could play you testimonials until you are blue in the face – believe me, I have them — but what would that prove?
It would prove I know how to get a great testimonial.
But the real joy of mentoring is the joy of a changed life.
I can sell $10,000 mentoring programs. I’ve done it before and I’m sure I’ll do it again, but my current beta programs are an honest attempt to do something “different” and hopefully better.
My mentoring client was right. I could sell that package for $10,000.00. I’ve already done it over and over again, but every time I did that, I knew that I was excluding someone that just couldn’t afford that kind of money.
It was the same with the original Info Product Blueprint, I sold hundreds of copies at $1,497.00, but how many more people could I have served if I had priced it at a more affordable level?
The truth is — you may not believe this, but it’s true …
I don’t know if I could have helped more.
Maybe MORE people would buy it at the higher price point.
Or …
At a lower price, maybe they never would have valued it enough to take action and change their lives.
Well …
I’m about to find out, either way.
Because BOTH of my latest mentoring offerings are WAY less expensive than most people can believe.
In fact, you can get started with my Newbie Quick Start Mentoring Beta, or the Info Product Blueprint 2.0 Mentoring Beta for only $297.
And ….
I show up.
The question is …
Will YOU show up?
I hope that you will be able to detect the sincerity in my life and in my writing and that you will KNOW that I mean what I am saying.
These programs are the absolute best I’ve ever offered.
And — maybe underpriced — in case you are a skeptic.
You see, I’m learning right along side you and every time I start a mentoring group, I learn exactly what works and what doesn’t.
The systems are now much better and the amazing platform that we have spent all summer building is about to come into play.
I’ve currently got THREE distinct mentoring programs available for you — hopefully that means that at least one of them is perfect for your needs.
1. The NEWEST addition is just about to be let out of the bag!
I know that you’ve been watching the zero cost videos from Chris Moos and myself that are designed for people who are just starting out.
[flv]http://nqs.s3.amazonaws.com/NQSPromo.flv[/flv]
If you haven’t and want to take a look, you can do that right now here:
Those videos don’t cost a cent and we have another great zero-cost webcast scheduled for Wednesday at 2 PM Eastern.
Space is limited.
Reserve your Webinar seat now at:
https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/930715867
But learning is one thing and doing is another.
It’s great to get an education — we all need that — but what counts is experience.
That’s where the brand-new, Newbie Quick Start Mentoring Beta program comes in.
You don’t need to know ANYTHING and we will help you experience everything.
While the learning session are IMMENSELY valuable, the mentoring sessions are life-changing, because you get your road-blocks shattered and your questions answered quickly so that you can move into profit!
This mentoring is DESIGNED for people just starting out.
We WILL make sure you get your website or blog up and going, start building your lists, start finding or creating products and services and start moving towards the money.
So take a look here for all the details on the beta:

Is Teaching Internet Marketing Ethical?
Posted by: kenmcarthur on: August 15, 2008
Hey Folks,
In Kate Hudson’s movie, “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” Samantha Quan throws out ideas for articles in the magazine, “Composure” that include subjects like Botox disasters, but always ends her suggested topic with the assurance that the article will be “surprisingly upbeat!”
That’s the way I feel about this post. It’s AWFUL news, “but, surprisingly upbeat!”
In my conversations this past week, the subject of how to ethically teach people about how to make a decent living online came up several times with friends and clients who are top-level coaches and Internet marketers.
Some of them are struggling with telling you the truth.
You see they WANT to tell you the truth and yet they want to make a decent living themselves too — and that’s the rub.
You don’t want to listen and if you don’t listen, you won’t buy.
Here are just a few of the ugly truths you really don’t want to hear:
- Internet marketing is work
- Building a 6 or 7 figure business Online is hard
- Making serious money takes time
- You procrastinate every day
- You have too many ideas and too many projects
- You need someone to help you make up your mind for you
- You really DON’T have enough money
- You multi-task way too much
- You rarely think about the big-picture and when you do, you forget about it quickly
- You don’t have a system and if you did you wouldn’t implement it.
Worse yet … Most People Who Try Making a Full-Time Living Online Will Fail
Now that’s tough to HEAR and it’s even tougher to SAY when your job is to sell coaching and mentoring at a live event, during a phone call or over the Internet.
Because telling you that ugly truth discourages sales.
And coaches and Internet marketers need to make a living too.
So what’s the “surprisingly upbeat!” part?
It turns out that you really CAN make a decent living online if you want to — in almost every case — if you follow some proven steps.
So what’s the big secret?
Well, the first secret is that everyone doesn’t really WANT to make a decent living online.
As hard as it is for Internet marketers to accept, the truth is that MOST people in this big, beautiful world, don’t want to run their own business online or offline — and that’s okay.
In fact, many of the people that THINK that they want an Internet business find out that they DON’T want to run one — and that’s a SUCCESS story. People shouldn’t be doing things that they really don’t want to do.
So maybe you are in the minority …
If you really DO want an Internet business then you are in the select minority of people that CAN make it. Now the question becomes …. WILL YOU?
So what’s stopping you?
It could be several things. Here are a few stages in the path to success where I see roadblocks all the time …
- You don’t know where to start
- You don’t some crucial skills and knowledge you need
- You think — a bunch — but don’t DO anything
- You DO something, but you can’t finish what you started
- You finish something and then immediately give up and try something else
- You have no clue what to do next
- You figure out what you want to do, but have no plan.
- You have a solid plan, but are doing so much you are overwhelmed
- You are growing too fast to have any control at all
- You are cutting back on everything and starting to look at the big picture
What does it take to get through these stages?
Well the EASIEST way is to have mentors, coaches and friends that support you all the way.
That’s why I think that mentoring and coaching is such a wonderful gift to share and why going to live events is so important.
No one really does ANYTHING on their own.
We all have someone that supports us, even when we don’t want anyone to help.
I hope that many of you will see all of this in action at the Impact Boot Camp.
If you’ve been procrastinating, now is the time to take action.
As the sales page says …
“Discover How Successful Authors, Celebrities, Coaches, Newspapers, Magazines, Internet Sites, Non-Profits and Corporations use the Internet, Publicity, Joint Ventures, List Building, Social Media Sites, Radio, Television, and Web 2.0 Techniques to Drive MILLIONS — Instead Of THOUSANDS — of Active, Targeted and Eager Fans, Clients and Customers to Their Best Ideas, Products and Services”
It’s going to be an amazing “hands-on” event and you will be SO glad that you made the choice to be there!

Panic Attack: The Fear Factor and Successful Action Taking
Posted by: kenmcarthur on: August 10, 2008
Hey Folks,
As a youngster, I lived in Colorado and my family visited the Box Canyon Falls in Ouray. It’s a sheer drop of MANY feet from the vantage point of the top where you can peer directly over the edge.
I’m sure that my parents were watching me closely as I eagerly ran up to the edge of the cliff and stared down in wonder at the cascading water far below.
Here’s an idea of what it looks like decades later.
A few weeks later, my family traveled to the “wilds” of Meridian Mississippi — a big city for a kid from the sparsely populated western slope of the Rockies — where I was taken to the fourteenth floor of the famous Three Foot Building. ( A 14+ story building on a 3 foot lot — I know there’s a story in that one).
Once the elevator arrived at the fourteenth floor, I famously refused to leave the relative safety of the elevator for fear of being so high off the ground.
Never mind the fact that weeks before I had been happily hanging over the edge of a cliff. Tall buildings were a new experience for the kid from Colorado. I was too frozen to take a step.
I still feel that way from time to time when I take on something new.
After all, who really knows what’s going to happen!
Some of my coaching clients aren’t too sure.
In fact, some are a little worried.
Okay, some of them are a LOT worried.
After months of talking about taking action, now is the time to do it — in front of a crowd.
And they don’t know what to expect.
And I can’t tell them!
I know, you thought I was in charge of the Impact Boot Camp event.
Here’s an amazing and very scary thought for you.
I don’t have a clue what will happen!
Here’s all that I can tell the people that are coming.
1. We are going to have an impact.
I believe that we are going to have an impact, because when people work together, that’s what happens.
2. People’s lives will change.
When you work with other people in a positive, supportive environment, your life can’t help but change.
3. Amazing things will happen to you personally.
How can it not?
So what’s the plan Ken?
Well, it’s complicated, so let me give you the simple version first.
Version One:
A great group of people come together in Philadelphia on August 22nd, 23rd and 24th to learn about reaching the masses, creating impact and making a difference in this noisy world — and then they try to actually do it.
Okay, so it’s simple, but it’s not exactly crammed with details.
Version Two:
A great group of people come together in Philadelphia on August 22nd, 23rd and 24th to learn about how successful authors, celebrities, coaches, newspapers, magazines, Internet sites, non-profits and corporations Use the Internet, publicity, joint Ventures, list building, social media sites, radio, television, and Web 2.0 techniques to drive MILLIONS — Instead Of THOUSANDS — of active, targeted and eager fans, clients and customers to their best ideas, products and services – and then they try to actually do it.
Well, that’s more details, but it doesn’t really tell much of a story — and there is a HUGE set of stories to tell.
Version Three:
A great group of people come together in Philadelphia on August 22nd, 23rd and 24th to learn about how successful authors, celebrities, coaches, newspapers, magazines, Internet sites, non-profits and corporations use the Internet, publicity, joint Ventures, list building, social media sites, radio, television, and Web 2.0 techniques to drive MILLIONS — Instead Of THOUSANDS — of active, targeted and eager fans, clients and customers to their best ideas, products and services.
Attendees will CREATE IMPACT LIVE as they assist a select team of Ken McArthur’s coaching clients called the Impact Action Team to formulate a massive plan of action designed to generate publicity and resources for one person they feel can really have an impact — if only that person can get noticed in a noisy world.
In September, Ken McArthur, the best-selling author of Impact: How to Get Noticed, Motivate Millions and Make a Difference in a Noisy World, will lead his amazing team as they travel to Brendon Burchard’s Life’s Golden Ticket Super Seminar and create massive impact for their chosen project — LIVE in front of a huge audience and via the Internet.
But there’s more to the story!
I could tell you about the amazing speakers, even more amazing members of the Impact Action Team, all of their individual stories and that’s even without the possible reality show, the book, the home study course and everything else that we are creating starting on August 22nd in Philadelphia.
And there would still be more to tell.
So we are on the edge of the cliff
It’s a big cliff and we’ve never been here before.
That can be kind of scary.
You and I are headed for an amazing journey and we don’t know where we are going.
There are dangers along the way and we will certainly stumble and fall.
We just know that it’s right that people should come together and that when we work together amazing things can happen.
There are wonders to see.
But, really Ken … How will you make this happen?
Well first of all it’s you … the people — It’s definitely NOT me!
First, I’m getting great people to sign up for the Impact Boot Camp.
There are over 100 people already registered for the event. Hopefully, most of them will actually take action and show up. After all, I’m giving my reader’s a special coupon code: impact.
Using the word impact as the coupon code on the registration form will bypass the payment page entirely and you can get in for nothing.
So it starts with having amazing people there. I’m inviting everyone that I know and I hope you will too!
Second, we are going to teach.
World class teachers who will teach you amazing ways to reach the masses, get noticed and cut through the maze of clutter in a noisy world.
Third, we are going to mastermind.
YOU get to develop the plan of action for our action team as we design our own massive action plan LIVE at the Impact Boot Camp event for our Impact Action Team and start to put it into action.
Fourth, we are going to document our efforts and our results.
We will be recording everything as the excitement heats up, so that others can learn from what we are doing.
What will happen?
I have no clue …
But it will be amazing!
See you VERY soon!
All the best,
Kenneth A. McArthur
