If you battled this enemy, would you be victorious?

Sierra Friend is a powerhouse businesswoman who has stared down the eyes of a major health crisis to come back with vigor and passion for maximizing the potential of her offline business clients for online success.

She’s an incredible human being with such energy and passion for life, family and business growth. And she’s one of my clients. Let me share a victory we both experienced together…

PERFECTIONISM

As awesome as Sierra is, she has her faults, and she recognizes them.

One of them? Perfectionism.

Yes, that blood-sucking, energy-draining dis-ease that binds you with immobility because everything has to be “just right”. We had to shatter the control that PERFECTIONISM had on her psyche and actions. And boy, did we do just that!

THE BATTLE

During the last 15 minutes of our 3rd session, I setup Sierra up to “BATTLE with her ENEMY”.

During those 15 minutes, which felt like forever, I didn’t let her succumb to her old habits. I was in the proverbial ring with her, helping her FIGHT and crumble this ENEMY.

She was SHAKING with nervousness and kept on exclaiming…

“OMG! OMG! I can’t believe I’m doing this RIGHT NOW! OMG!”

You had to be there! Come to think of it, I have the recording!

THE VICTORY

Alas, she was sweaty and bloody after this intense battle and she arose VICTORIOUS!! BOOYAH!!

I am sooo PROUD of SIERRA FRIEND! She’s a CHAMPION!

THE CHAMP SPEAKS OUT

Here’s what she shared about working with me in my “Accelerated Coaching Enhancement Blueprint Intensive” (ACEBI: http://tutorialu.com/semesters/acebi)

“Being able to work with Sherman was a true answer to prayer.

I have been in the middle of transitioning my business from one industry to another and frankly, had gotten so lost in the details I wasn’t making progress.

I was working tirelessly trying to find the right information I needed to move forward, and to know what steps would make the greatest impact in the shortest time…until I started coaching with Sherman.

Since then, I have been able to create a deep understanding of my target audience and establish a plan for using new media to position myself as an expert in my field.

Having Sherman’s knowledge, coaching, accountability and support has allowed me to fast-track my success and to learn in a matter of weeks, what would have taken me a year to find on my own.

His knowledge is priceless, his genuine desire to help you succeed is inspiring, and his ability to create results in your business is unparalleled.

No information product or workshop I have invested in has generated the kind of results I have found by working one-on-one with Sherman.

In a world where information is abundant yet results minimal, having personal instruction by a leader in New Media & Internet Marketing is one of the greatest investments you’ll make in your business. He is a wonderful Coach, and has become a great friend.”

What’s the 411 on ACEBI?

Business owners, coaches & consultants who need focused accountability & a straight shot, no-BS custom blueprint to get them from where they are to where want to be.

4 sessions in March (may bleed to April because I’m traveling first weekend of March to speak at a business conference in Atlanta) solely focused on YOU and YOUR BUSINESS - we’ll connect via video-conferencing from the comforts of our own homes.

You’ll receive your custom blueprint drawing and audio recording after every session. Expect homework and accountability. Its YOU and ME, focused on just YOU.

Why YOU?

Do YOU want to breakthrough Confusion, Distraction & Slow Growth?

Don’t YOU deserve to maximize your potential & achieve rockin’ clarity & focus?

Don’t YOU want someone to finally call your bluff, realize your potential & help U rock out YOUR BEST YOU with honest accountability?

That’s why YOU. That’s why NOW.

What Now?

01. Go to http://tutorialu.com/semesters/acebi - now.

02. Scroll to the bottom of that page.

03. Register for 1 of the remaining 2 seats.

I’m only taking 5 students in March, and if the spots aren’t all reserved, you can still grab your spot and take advantage of the early bird that ends midnight tonight.

Like Sierra shared, I pray working with you to achieve your desired outcomes will be a “true answer to prayer” for you! ROCK ON!

What it felt like to push Michael Wayne off a cliff…

… so he would fly like an eagle?

Amazing! Thrilling! Exhilarating!

That’s what I live to do for my ACEBI students. Here’s what Michael Wayne had to say…

“I didn’t know what to expect when I decided to sign up for the ACEBI program. All I knew was that I could use help with focus and direction for my new website. In the 4 sessions I had with Sherman, it was like taking a course in internet marketing on steroids. We went from zero to 100 mph immediately, and I was doing stuff I never knew I could do. Sherman pushed me to do my best, and I was willing to answer the call. Sherman rocks!”

If you visit his blog, you won’t see the changes yet. He’s been speedily working on the best practices outlined in his custom blueprint we created together to reach his desired business outcomes. But you will.

Like Michael shared, he’s now ZOOMING past his previous turtle-speeds and lack of focus through us working together on HIS business. I’m so very proud of his progress and results to date.

How about you? What about YOUR “focused blueprint and game plan” for 2009?

If you are…

Developing your business but can’t see the ‘forest from the trees’
Progressing well in your business but need fine-tuning for your traffic & conversion strategies
“Spinning many plates” and can’t seem to focus on the exact path to your desired outcomes
In desperate need for a “coach in the trenches” to create a map for you and hold you accountable to the journey…
Desiring a focused blueprint to ‘cut the fat’ and take the straight shot to your desired outcomes
Tired of the many generic programs in the marketplace and want a custom tailored blueprint that matches your style, skills, timeframe and desired outcomes…

… this program could very well be what you need at this time.

5 seats only. Early bird ends tomorrow midnight. Get all the details here:
