I received this email from Jay Abraham this morning explaining about his new coaching and mentoring program. I thought that it was well worth bringing to your attention and I don't receive any financial benefit from you taking advantage of this offer (I do recommend that you join the League of Extraordinary Minds and take up the offer of the excellent bonuses)
Here's the email - and yes it is another long one.
Paul,
We surveyed a huge group of people to see what they wanted most and needed most.
Their answers?
They almost ALL wanted a combination of accountability, coaching, marketing mentoring and "daily direction" to get them, and their business, finally going and growing.
I thought about it hard and long --- and decided to try a daring, bold experiment.
I'm willing to do a special group mastermind mentoring "beta group" - to see if it finally provides you with the specific answers you're really after.
We've surveyed 30,000 different people just like you. I heard and felt their hopes, dreams, requests, wants - and needs.
Obviously, few, if any of you, can afford to pay me $50,000 a day for my private consulting.
So I had to figure out a solution that delivered all the different requests each of you told me you needed - but at a price so modest that everyone who needs it could afford it.
Finally, because I don't want to obligate either you, long-term, to me - OR frankly me, long-term, to you -- (unless it proved exceedingly satisfying to both sides) -- I decided to only try it out for a six month experimental test period.
That way, you won't be obligated long-term to me...nor will I be obligated long-term to you.
If it's good for us both, we can extend the relationship after six months - but neither of us are obligated to go past a six month commitment to one another.
You have to commit six months to me, because that's the least amount of time I need to get you squarely and solidly moving down a better prosperity path.
I'm committing myself for six months to YOU because I think that's the minimum time I need to do my "magic" on you or your business.
So now that you know it's a short-term commitment on both sides part, you're probably wondering exactly "what" this group coaching/mentoring combined program is all about.
The answer is simple: It'll focus two times every month for six months in a row - for two solid hours each time - on the precise, specific, individualized questions, issues, challenges, problems or goals you're needing help and answers to.
This program is totally and stunningly different from ANY and every other type of group curriculum-based mentoring or coaching program out there.
The big difference here is my new experimental program ONLY focuses on precisely what YOU want or need to talk about.
I'm not going to spend 15 months trying to teach you the fundamentals of marketing. Nor am I going to take a long time solving any problem or issue you (or any other beta participant) poses.
My goal, commitment and intent for this new, experimental program is to deal here (and now) with the specific, biggest issues you're struggling with or trying to get answers to -- and solve them for you, there and then on that actual session's group conference call.
No quibbling. No theory. No abstract commentary, either.
You'll pose your dilemma, ask your questions, submit your challenge - and I'll answer it completely, directly and specifically in the most honest, direct, step-by-step manner possible - right there and then, on-the-spot.
How will I be able to answer or deal with so many people's questions each month in such a fast-paced, concise, precise manner?
Two ways.
First, your experimental group will be limited to a relatively small number so I can get to almost everybody's issues and provide clear-cut answers within a one-month period. (I'll decide the size once I see your depth of issues needing answers).
Second, I'll have you pre-submit your issues and questions --- ahead of each session and I'll organize them all --- by categories of the most common/universally applicable AND the most unique.
That way - even if I can't answer everyone's questions in one month's two-session period - odds are exceedingly high that I'll be able to give you most (if not all) the key answers you're after in the course of any month.
There's another great benefit to this program and process.
Few people realize it but --- each time we get critical answers to our current questions - we always move forward in our progress.
BUT --- with each moving stride - forward, there comes a whole new series of problems, questions and issues we need to solve, answer and better understand. (Think of removing leaves from an artichoke to get to its heart).
My point is that this is not a static process. Yet you need a great answer to your biggest, pressing question(s) - right now.
And I plan on giving it to you. But once you get it - odds are, you'll come up with a new, even bigger question that replaces the old one. And that process will repeat itself everyone month as your progress, successes and results improve.
That's why I'm committing myself to you for six, full months - to give you ample time to apply the solutions you'll receive and come back to me with whatever additional issues come out of the progress you make, that month.
What happens if your questions or issue is outside of my skill set? Then I'll bring on expert friends to help me answer it for you.
OK, specifically what kinds of questions will I allow you to pose to me?
Almost any questions I'd entertain if you came privately and bought a full $50,000 day of my personal consulting time can be asked.
Obviously I must restrict my answers and advice to a tightly compressed 3-6 minutes at a time -- but why do you care -- if it fully guides, directs, clarifies and sets you on the specific action path you need to be taking.
Seriously, after advising well over 50,000 entrepreneurs for over 30 years, I've dealt with just about every imaginable marketing, selling, advertising, positioning, business building opportunity, issue, problem challenge, obstacle or conundrum.
I'm relatively confident that the twice a month, two hour long, semi-personalized mastermind problem solving sessions you'll share with me twice a month --- will move your specific business forward each time we all get together.
Since results are solely based on what YOU do with the advice, guidance, instructions and specific directions I offer --- I cannot (understandably) guarantee your success --- nobody in their right mind would do that.
But, I CAN promise and absolutely positively state that the ideas and instructions I'll individually offer to participants --- will be of the same exact consulting advice as the larger, more detailed instructions I give to my $50,000 a day clients.
But, you won't pay me $50,000 a day --- I doubt, seriously, if you can afford that kind of coin.
I'm not even going to ask $5,000 a year from you to gain access to this highly experimental, never-before offered Mastermind Accountability and Mentoring Sessions.
No - since I'm only committing myself for six months to see how well it works out for both sides - it'd be wrong to charge you a premium, until we first see how great your results are from what I tell you to do.
So, for the first six months only --- I'll let you participate --- if you're one of the first group to commit and respond --- for just $350 a month, payable for the entire six months --- meaning a onetime billing to your credit card of $2,100.
That's, frankly, the equivalent of about 20 minutes worth of my private time --- if you could get it --- But, I only offer private consulting in full day increments anymore. So, you couldn't buy 20 minutes of my time --- even if you wanted to.
But, as a Mastermind Accountability and Mentoring group member --- you'll get to experience 24 richly rewarding hours (of $150,000 worth) of my advice, guidance and direction, all for a mere $2,100, if you choose the single payment option.
If you can't pay in a single installment, I'll allow monthly billing.
But understandably, I'll have to charge you $100 more per month, since I really don't want to be your banker or finance company (but I WILL, if that's what it takes to help you and your business fully get the specific help and advice you need).
Finally, I'm having three separate, no-charge "Discovery Sessions" to clearly lay out exactly what these Mentoring and Accountability sessions will be...and do --- and what they won't and aren't.
I'll also show you the specific kinds and types of questions participants can pose --- and the kinds of answers I'll be rendering.
That way, there will be absolutely no confusion --- no surprises --- no misunderstandings on either sides part --- before you ever commit to me and yourself --- for this six month experiment.
I'll make certain you're crystal clear on what I'm offering.
I'll also make certain you're absolutely clear on what I'm expecting you to do on the calls, with your submissions --- and with the ideas, advise and strategies I come up with for each individual participant whose situation we tackle.
So, if you're struggling with unanswered questions.
If you've got business problems you need help solving...
If you can't get the sales, profits, income or success you're after.
If you really want expert answers and ideas you can immediately run with...and you're willing to follow it until it pays off.
If you can't write a check for $50,000 --- but you want $50,000 a day quality marketing and business building answers --- BUT you can write a modest check for $2,100 or are comfortable paying $450 per month for six months --- then by all means.
Check out the Discovery Sessions I'm doing next week --- to talk through this daring experiment session I'll be trying out with a small group for a six month test period.
There are 200,000 people on my list reading this.
There is no way I can possible do more than a small group of maybe 200 or so people in the test period.
So, if you're not "game" --- it's really, alright.
I expected to turn down hundreds of people anyway - because I can't possibly handle more than a few small groups to see how it works out for everyone involved.
The discovery calls are next week. Here's how to get on one.
But, please don't take up a place if you really don't want and need the kind of specific ideas and advise this bold, new experimental series will provide twice a month, for the next six months.
Dial-in Number: 512-225-3563
Passcode: 472111#
Here are the dates and times I'll be conducting the Discovery Sessions:
Thursday, November 12th at 6pm PT (9pm ET)
Friday, November 13th at 1pm PT (4pm ET)
Saturday, November 14th at 9am PT (12pm ET)
I'm NOT going to ask you to pre-register for any of the Discovery Sessions. I'm assuming that the questions you have and the challenges you're facing that you'd like me to assist you with are motivation enough for you to attend.
I'm arranging 1,000 lines, per call...when the session is full --- it's full. It's simply first in line, get on the call.
Those who hesitate, procrastinate or equivocate, miss out.
We have 200,000 of you receiving this email.
Again, there is no place to register. We're giving you all the dial-in information and schedules, right now. Either remember to attend or don't...it's totally your responsibility.
Again, next week there are three separate, no-cost discovery calls, designed to help you decide whether to try and get into one of the experimental groups I'm taking on for six months --- or not.

P.S. One more thing, and it's important. If you'd like to pre-submit a question about the program, you can submit it in advance of being on a Discover Call at clients@abraham.com .
I'll do my best to answer any question you may have about the make-up and dynamic of the program on the Discovery Session calls.
That way, you'll know (ahead of committing yourself) whether the service will provide the kind of answers and direction you're after.
You can also submit a question about your business challenges or the opportunities you're pursuing and I'll share with you, on the Discovery Session, many of the exact types of situations and scenarios I'll be addressing in the program.
