A Week of Welcomes
The last week has been one of the biggest we have ever had online. And it’s been very exciting for our whole community. We have welcomed to the Shift Speaker Training community a large group of highly motivated and highly dedicated speakers and speakers-to-be as part of our Ultimate Speaking Resource.
For those of you who have taken the plunge- congratulations! I can’t wait to see the development of your skills and to be sharing my stage with one of you in the coming months.
If you’re yet to join the program- you still have 6 hours to take advantage of this once in a lifetime offer. This resource will never be offered again with this Super-Charged Bonus Package. So remember you have a 30 day money back guarantee- so join now and you have 30 days to figure out if it was the right thing to do!
Brand New Presentation… Beyond Speaking!
On another note- I’m really excited because next Wednesday I am doing my first presentation on my new topic: “How to Make a Lifestyle Shift and Choose a Business That Suits You” with the HomeBiz Chicks Success Summit. I’m excited because this so much of what I teach in the context of speaking can be applied to any business at all. So I’m preparing this brand new presentation for its debut. It is a virtual seminar featuring some awesome speakers from around the world who I am really looking forward to hearing from. Check it out below…
And lastly on a more personal note- Greg and I had an awesome time in Holland recently! Over the weekend we headed over, took in the windmills, the coffee, the pastries, the cheese, the bicycling, Rembrandt and Escher. A few cool pics below!
Enjoy this week’s newsletter. There’s loads of money making material in this one!
Cheers,

Sorry about the wind noise!
Sales Letters That Fill Seminars- The Big Idea,
with Pete Godfrey
Sales letters that fill seminars is a BIG subject; too big for this small article. However, I’m going to give you one big tip to take on board that almost guarantees your next event is a sell out. And look, I’ve been a copywriter for the past 10 years. Tens of thousands of people have gone to seminars because of the words I’ve written. So frankly, I know a thing or two about this subject… might pay to listen up.
Understand this: It doesn’t matter what kind of seminar you are running; from an Intro Night workshop to new prospects to a multi-day event to your own Tribe; your seminar needs one BIG thing to make it a success.
It needs a BIG Idea!
Every seminar needs a great theme to capture the attention and interest of the intended market. It’s got to be exciting! Dramatic.
The BIG idea can also be your bonuses or prizes. Cars and Holidays are popular; however the main thing is to match the prize to the market.
There are too many same old, same old seminars at the moment. There is no clear cut distinction between them; no compelling reason to choose one over another. Even worse, there are no REAL, exciting personalities behind these events. Everyone is so damn politically correct it makes me cringe. They’re so nice they are BORING.
Don’t you be one of them! If you want a profitable seminar, come up with a BIG Idea, backed up with a BIG Bribe, and infuse your promotion with personality.
That’s how you put bums on seats. That’s how you ensure your next event is a sell out!
Pete Godfrey, AKA the Wizard of Words, is a Copywriter and Sales Strategist who lives in tropical Mackay North Queensland Australia with his wife, 2 kids and his dog Ben.
His client list contains many of the world’s savviest entrepreneurs. They trust him to write and develop promotions that put money in the bank like clockwork. To see more on Pete, and get his blatantly bias opinions on Life, Copywriting, Marketing and Mind Set, he’s running events around Australia in August check them out: Pete Godfrey's Sales letter Workshop
I SHOULD WARN YOU: Pete tells it like it is without the sugar coating. Sensitive souls should not click on the link above.
And remember- Our Ultimate Speaking Resource Members Can Meet Pete “in person” In Our Free Teletraining (Members Only) on Thursday the 6th of August. He will go into detail about his closely guarded “Seminar Sales Letter Secrets” on the call- so get involved.
You Have Only Hours to Take Action
In case you’ve been living under a rock this last 7 days- you might not know that we are about to close doors on the Ultimate Speaking Resource. We have launched this special “exploding with value” offer as a celebration of our new name, new brand and new information!
I am convinced it is the best value speaker training program on the planet- and the feedback we’ve been getting from our new members is outstanding. And it tells me we are attracting the right people.
“Just so excited the site is fabulously informative well presented and set out . Thanks again Joey really looking forward to working with you.”
Warm regards, Susie”
I said in an email the other day- and I repeat it here:
We only want the right kind of people in our community. As you may recall- one of the extraordinary benefits of joining this unique mentoring program is that you are eligible for the $10,000 opportunity to join me on stage.
As you can imagine- I do not want just anyone up there. So I do not want people to join the program who are:
- not willing to spend 20 minutes educating themselves
- not willing to invest in their own education
- not willing to stretch their mind into new ways to make income
- difficult to work with
- complainers
I am looking for the kinds of people who are:
- already making
- already educating themselves
- have a "I'll give it a go" attitude
- will test something out before dismissing it as "not gonna work!"
After all I have made millions of dollars with the strategies I teach. My colleagues and students have made millions of dollars. I have shared the secrets with some of the most well-known speakers on the planet. If we can do it- the question is not "does it work?" The question is, are you the kind of person who is ready to work it?

- Handholding to take you from wherever you are now to NEW INCOME from speaking in 30 days (in fact it is my intention that you make back the money you invest in the course in the first 30 days).

- The opportunity to win a $10,000 speaking opportunity –income guaranteed- on my platform

Opportunity International Australia provides people living in poverty with access to basic financial services – including small loans, savings accounts, insurance and business training. These services are know as microfinance, and they assist people who wouldn’t usually qualify for regular banking services because they have no form of collateral or formal identification.
Here’s how it works…
By helping a mother to buy a sewing machine to start a tailoring business or a father to buy seeds to plant a vegatable garden, small loans enable people in poverty to earn an income and provide for their families. 97% of loans are paid back, so the cycle can continue for years! Each successful business feeds a family, employs more people and eventually helps to empower a whole community.
Did you know that for only a $200 donation you can help one family start a business and employ one other person? This one loan once paid back can be used again and again. Many of us spend more than that on a night out with friends and once that money is gone, it’s gone!
