Mission: success! After a weekend full of learning, I’ve received dozens of comments, thank-you’s, and ah-ha moments from attendees of the Coaching Millions Super Summit in Dallas this year.  Here are just a few, plus a few photos from the event!

…

From Tanya Smith

Milana just reversed almost three years of bad business advice and added new dimension of building a coaching business as an entrepreneur, and my 2010 will be great just because of attending this event!

From anonymous survey taker:

If you want to turn your practice into an enterprise, this is the place to find experience, strategy and information to guide you.

From Amy Gubser

World-class conference. The caliber of speakers including yourself provided a wealth of knowledge, support and an unbelievable “experience!” Thank you for all your hard work and rich content!  Without hesitation, I will be returning to the next super summit! An awesome experience which has taken me to a whole new level! I will definitely be at the next summit!

From Dr.Virginia Moody

Wow, this summit truly “blew my socks off” in the depth of expertise and the genuine open sharing by speakers.  Being a “newbie” in this arena (coming from a corporate culture) I wasn’t sure what to expect and if it would be out of my league.  However, I learned a long time ago that you must “stretch” yourself to grow and so I took the risk to join you.

From Sonja Fullwood

Second time attending, have been following Milana for four years, she’s very creative and passionate about coaches success. She’s a life line for me for someone who knows what she’s doing. Learned lots of new things this year, Will be back next year!

From Pete Tobiason

I received a million dollar idea for each hour that I’ve been here.

From Brenda Bonin

Endless feeling of abundance.

From Bernice Boyden

I have gotten more useful information here than in the last 4 years in trying to start my coaching business. It was so invaluable, I will be there next year in Vegas!

From Diane Cunningham

I’m going home and will be completely changing how I do my business – I am done playing small. Thanks for an amazing LIFE-CHANGING weekend training.

From Marilyn Ellis

Third time attending this Summit.  Absolutely loved it, every time I learn dozens of new strategies to help me keep my coaching business growing!

From Lynnette Davis

You have no idea what you’ve missed! I am so glad I came. I completely revised my business game plan since I came!

Incredible diversity of the entrepreneurs and speakers and enormous amount of great information. Milana has been a visionary in the coaching field showing us how to build a coaching enterprise, and I am so happy I came!

Has anyone said any of these things to you lately?

• “Don’t worry, so you’ll slow down this year…”

• “Everyone is affected, it’s the economy!”

• “You should be lucky to have a couple of clients!”

When the economy goes sour, many people’s first reaction is to shrink and cut back. This is especially true if you’re surrounded by those who are not entrepreneurs. These two things have always helped me come out of the financial and emotional slump:

1. Get a Business Mentor to Help You Stay Focused and Growing

2. Surround Yourself With Positive Entrepreneurial Minded People

At the next week’s Coaching Super Summit I will be personally taking dozens of coaches and
entrepreneurs through a wealth-building journey and revealing these strategies I discovered
over the years of going from a $15-an-hour web designer to an amazing “coaching millions” empire:

• Top 6 Myths About Coaching and Why So Many Coaches Are Struggling
• Why Traditional Coaching Practice Doesn’t Work and What You Need to Do Right Now to Break Through its Barriers
• The Universal Principle of Business Success That Has Existed for Thousands Years, and How to Easily Apply it to Your Coaching Business
• Why Niche is the Fastest Way to a Lasting Success in Coaching, and My Unique Formula for Uncovering Your Ideal Niche Market
• 6 Basic Principles of Creating A 7-Figure Product Line in Any Coaching Business
• 6 Simple Content Building Strategies That Will Allow You To Walk Away With Hundreds of Pages of New Content for Your Articles, Blogs, Teleseminars, Press Releases, Books, Special Reports, and Coaching Programs
• The 3 Most Important Elements Each Coaching Program Must Include to Become a Best-Selling Program
• 9 Types of Joint Venture Currency, and How to Use Them To Build Your Prospect Database, Gain Visibility, and Rise to the Top of Your Industry Faster Than Ever!
• 7 Specific Joint Venture Letter Rules That Will Get Every Potential Partner to Say “YES!” to You

I hope you’ll be there, because in spite of what you hear from your friends and family, cutting back is NOT an option for entrepreneurs!

Let me take you on a wealth-building journey next week, and you’ll never find yourself struggling again…regardless of the economy.

The Summit is like no other business building training event. It’s a truly unique experience that hundreds of coaches and entrepreneurs have been raving about. Below are just a few clips from the event you will enjoy, and hopefully can join us in Dallas this year October 23-25:

Time and time again I watch how a book opens dozens of opportunities for entrepreneurs. All of a sudden they are everywhere: on blogs, radio shows, social media, interviews, and other features across different media.

A  book simply opens the doors that were closed to you before.  Every successful coach has written a book, and you should, too. Here’s why:

• There is nobody like you. And it’s not just your mother who knows this; you know it too. Your challenge is to let other people know. Your book establishes your uniqueness. It’s like a “uniqueness credential.”

• Everyone with whom you come into contact is living in their own world. If you are to communicate with them, you have to find a way to get their attention out of themselves and onto what you’re trying to tell them. Your book can enter into the conversation that is already going on in their head, and help them understand what you’re trying to tell them.

• Books can be profitable. That may seem self-evident, but the fact is that until recently, it was not necessarily true. A book can become a major income stream for you.

• Your book can give “legs” to your message. In our society, a book is a unique cultural artifact. It commands respect; people do not usually casually damage books, or throw them away. So when you package your identity and your message in the book, they, too, command respect.

BUT–book-writing is not taught in schools or universities. So you’ve been left to figure it out for yourself. Don’t feel bad if you haven’t managed to do so!

Joel Orr has written nine books. “The first six were difficult, took a long time, and I was not satisfied with them,” he says.  “So before I wrote the seventh, I was determined to find out how prolific authors work. I interviewed the most prolific authors I could find, and I extracted best practices from their approaches. Result: Book #7 was written and published in 90 days, while doing full-time consulting work. Book #8: 30 days. Book #9: 23 days, at an hour a day.”

I can totally relate! It took me 3 full months to slave over 125 pages of my very first book. The biggest pitfall – perfectionism. I wanted it to be just right, absolutely perfect! And although it was a great book, I could’ve done it in a couple of weeks with a similar result.

Today Joel Orr teaches his newly discovered method to anyone who wants to write a book! He has helped coaches, doctors, a 12-year-old fiction writer, and people from every walk of life. His secret? What to do BEFORE you sit down and write a word.

At the Coaching Millions Super Summit Joel will teach you the principles writing a high quality non-fiction book fast. Here’s what he’ll be sharing:

His simple secret to writing a book in 30 days!
Three powerful tools to unleash your book-writing ability!
How to publish your book–for next to nothing!
The truth about self-publishing
What to write about–and what NOT to write about
Questions you should ask yourself BEFORE you write your book
Powerful promotional tips

What I love about book publishing today is that ANYONE can do it – with or without a publisher! But not everybody will, mostly because they believe it takes too much time and effort. First of all, it’s not true. Second of all, the reasons to have a book far exceed any other strategy to establish yourself as the top expert in your field or industry.

Hope you can join us for Joel’s live session in Dallas.

After a week of reviewing dozens of submissions and the judges working hard to find “best of the best” Coaching Millions Super  Summit is announcing our top 3 contestants for the Coaching Entrepreneur of the Year 2009 award!  They are:

This was NOT an easy choice. We had a flood of e-mails between the three of us, judges, taking many things into consideration. One thing I personally noticed is that every applicant came from a place of passion for what they do. I encourage EVERYONE who applied to apply again next year!

Join us at the Coaching Millions Super  Summit to vote for your favorite candidate in Dallas, Texas, October 23-25th.

Do you have a product or service for coaches?  Would you like to get it in front of 15,000 coaches and coaching entrepreneurs?  As part of the upcoming Coaching Millions Super Summit I’ve created an opportunity for you to do just that!

http://www.coachingsupersummit.com/sponsor

But you must act fast – very few “spots” are left and the deadline is Friday, October 9th!  This is a very rare thing for me to open my database to third-party products, so it’s a great opportunity if you’ve been trying to get your product in front of thousands of coaches!

How would you like to get free coaching every week or every month, helping you achieve your goals, complete your projects, and double or triple the speed of your business growth?

That’s exactly what these coaching entrepreneurs have done in a very short period of time. The mastermind team in the video below is unique. These entrepreneurs met at the Coaching Millions Super Summit last year as part of the Mastermind Experiment I ran at the event, which I am running again this year (with a new unique spin!).

It’s 12 months later and they’re still together. Watch the video below to hear how the summit brought complete strangers together and turned them into best friends:

I’ve been a member of mastermind teams since my third year in business. I had no idea what I was missing when I first discovered this concept. Every meeting – a breakthrough or a “million-dollar” idea.

What does it take to create your own mastermind?

After being a member of at least six different teams in the last seven years, here’s what I learned:

1. Connect in person first. The true magic of the mastermind experience can only happen when people are comfortable with each other, like and trust each other, and have connected in a personal level first.

2. Meet at least once a month. The momentum of regular mastermind meetings creates accountability and drive, and keeps that personal connection growing.

3. Designate a timer. Nothing is more frustrating than having one member dominate the meetings, while others never get a chance to ask for help.

4. Don’t take “stray cats.” Invite new members only after discussing it with your team mates. When a jelled team adds new people it might ruin the dynamics of
the entire group.

5. Really care. In order for any mastermind team to work, each member must truly care about the success of other members. If you don’t feel like you care, you’re in the wrong group.

6. Mastermind with the like-minded. I remember one mastermind team made me feel like nothing was relevant to me. I felt completely out of place – I couldn’t help anyone, and I couldn’t be helped. I left the group within a month. Find those who are aligned with your thinking, business, and goals.

Finding a great mastermind team isn’t easy. That’s why I recommend creating your own. This year at the Coaching Millions Super Summit I’ll be holding a very unique mastermind experience, where every single participant will leave with their own team.

Just like the entrepreneurs in the video above, I will help you connect with other like-minded coaching entrepreneurs who will get you to your goals faster, easier, and with more fun…even if you’re totally uncomfortable approaching people at live events! (Heck, two years ago I spent two lunches on my own before hooking up with someone!)

By the way, the team in the video was one of 14 other groups, who also worked together to create new projects, make new connections, collaborate in new ventures, and create results! In fact, I joined one of them myself

Come to this year’s Coaching Millions Super Summit in Dallas, Texas, October 23-25, and walk away with your very own mastermind team!
