| Finally,
the Truth for Small Business Owners:
“Do You Feel Overwhelmed by all the Paperwork, Taxes, Advertising,
Employees and Government Regulations?” With
all the things that you are responsible for… From the desk of Ed King,
MBA, CPA Dear Business Owner:
Well, this is normal.
Think
about it… you are responsible for: Organization: Legal structure. Partnership
agreements. Corporate matters. Purchasing. Finance: Borrowing money. Negotiating bank
charges. Credit rating. Cash-flow projections. Money Management. Proper
accounting system. Financial statements. Ratio analysis budget. Marketing: Internet. Advertisements. Market
research. Pricing. Bids. Selling costs. Customer criticism. Salesmanship. Employees: Hiring. Firing. Compensating.
Motivating. Training. Independent contractors.
Protection: Insurance. Rights of suppliers,
customers and employees. Trademarks. Patents. Collection: Credit-worthiness of customers.
Tracking down debtors. Collection efforts. Office
Management: Office
space. Lighting, heating, air conditioning. Leasing of equipment. Tax
regulation:
Records you must keep. Business deductions. Tax Payments. Some of these activities
you are good at. Some of these activities you stink at. But you are
responsible for all of them. No wonder you’ve got
problems. Failure Can be Just
Around the Corner. Independent
people, like you, start more than 3,000,000 businesses every year in the United
States. They are eager to make their own decisions, express their own ideas,
and be their own bosses. The
harsh realities of business are: · More than 1/2 of business failures occur in the
first five years of operation; · Survival is especially tough now with unstable
interest costs, rising operational costs, uncertain supply sources, and
inconsistent markets; · The new owner could lose everything… family car,
life savings, and even the home; and · Those businesses that do survive rarely make all
the profits that they should. The
high failure rate should not be much of a surprise to anyone. Most people who start
a small business have at least some technical knowledge, but very few have
solid business skills. In other words… You must be a
businessperson. Sometimes
even running a successful business is no bed of roses. Being a boss has problems.
The head of a business may work 15 hours a day, 7 days a week, and feel
responsible to family members, suppliers, customers, and employees. Gone
are the days of a regular paycheck, a 40-hour work week, paid vacations,
retirement security, and fully covered health and life insurance benefits. You must be a
businessperson. Sometimes,
business owners lie to themselves… If I just had a few more sales,
everything would be OK. The Big Money is
Not Getting More Sales, Let’s hear from the marketing
guru’s guru when it comes to selling…
“People come to me mostly
to improve their advertising and marketing, but more often than not, their greatest
opportunities are not in those areas; their greatest opportunities are internal
rather than external. Unfortunately, even after having this pointed out to them… they
still prefer getting just a better ad.” --02/06, Dan Kennedy’s No B.S.
Marketing Letter In summary: You must be a
businessperson. And if that is not bad
enough… Where Do You Turn
for Business Advice? Friends and Family. Yes, they love you and can provide emotional
support, but what do they know about starting or running a small business? Attorneys and
Accountants. Yes, they know all
about their own special areas of knowledge, but if you get outside of that…
they are lost. You can ask either one of these professionals how to write an
ad, how to hire a person, or should you buy a specific piece of equipment. They
are lost. Sellers of Business
Opportunities and Franchises. Are
you kidding? There is an unbiased, objective opinion. They’d sell anything to
anyone! SBA and SCORE. 99% of the employees of these organizations have never
been a consultant. Many of the people working at the SBA are under 25 and have
never been in business, but they will happily point you to where they store the
pamphlets. The retired executives at SCORE may be able to help you with some of
your problems if you are lucky enough to find someone with 50 years of
experience in your type of business. But what happens if you want to open a
women’s clothing shop and the guy across the desk from you has spent his life
manufacturing pipe fittings? Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber could have been a great source of
small business resources but it seems that many are more interested in
collecting dues and playing golf with their largest members. College and
Universities. Their primary
function is to turn out corporate employees. Oh yes, they may have a couple of
entrepreneur classes… but many times they are taught by professors with no
small business experience. And, who has got time to go back to college for 4
years? Gurus. The problem with them is that they are very
expensive… some charge $5,000+ an hour. Hire them for a couple of hours of
consulting… now you’ve really got some cash flow problems. And not all Gurus
are the same. There are several who will say, “Just declare yourself a guru…
even if you have no experience.”
‘Cause that’s what they did. Another thing about the gurus… make sure
you do your “due diligence.” Do these individuals have a formal education? Have
they done consulting work for Fortune 500 companies? Do they have any
professional accreditations? Or are they just… A smile and a shoeshine? If you have ever contacted
one of the above resources, you know that I’m correct. So, where do you go? Other than just a very few individuals,
I really don’t know! Background of Ed
King, MBA, CPA
After 8 years, I left there
and went to work at Wayne State University in Detroit. I wanted to provide the resources
to small businesses that are available to large companies… and at a reasonable
cost. I have been Director of Small Business Services for 30 years. I
have worked with thousands of small businesses during that time… many of whom
went on to become millionaires and one billionaire. I have written “the” small
business textbook that has been used by some of the finest colleges and
universities. They include: Arizona State, California State, U. of Charleston,
U. of Colorado, U. of Denver, U. of Florida, U. of Georgia, George Washington
(D.C.), U. of Houston, U. of Indianapolis, James Madison (VA), U. of Massachusetts,
U. of Nevada, Northern Illinois, North Carolina State, Pennsylvania State, San
Diego State, U. of Seattle, U. of Tampa, Texas A&M, U. of Texas, U. of
Washington, Wayne State (MI), and U. of Windsor (Canada) Am I on the New York Times
best seller list? No. Am I on cable-television at
3 a.m. showing you how to make a million dollars overnight in real estate, the
internet, direct mail, jewelry, etc., etc.? No. Why? Because I firmly
believe that a book means nothing without the aid of a well trained
consultant. You must have your questions answered. No book or television
show, without the opportunity to ask questions, will ever be successful. Think about it… If you could get rich by reading a book, all
librarians would be millionaires.
Why am I telling you this? Because
I’m an ego-maniac? No. It’s because these are the types
of credentials you need in a consultant who is any good. In other words… I know what the heck I’m talking about! Advice is only as good as
the person giving it! So, where are you now? · Are you struggling to make sense out of all of the
overwhelming teleseminars, info products, and courses on the internet? · Are you stumped about what to do in order to start
making money regularly in your business? · Are you feeling overwhelmed, unsure of whose
strategy to follow and not sure of what really works? Take a HUGE step toward your future success and get out of the confusion immediately when you enroll in our Small Business Classes.
Enroll in our
Practical, Specific, Proven Small Business Education and Start Getting
the Results You Deserve in Your Business. Our method provides a
system like a franchise but without the enormous investment and 5%+ royalty
fee. Why do think franchises are
6 times more successful than independent businesses? I’ll give you a hint… it
ain’t the fries. The reason that McDonald’s
is the most successful business in the world is not the food… but rather the
system that Ray Kroc put together 50 years ago. I have developed a 6-module
class, based upon 30 years of consulting and research at Wayne State University
that will look in detail at every aspect of your business. As my mother used to say… A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Well, the same applies to your

increase your sales by 33%. (page 2-21). · 8 ways to slash the cost of your advertising without
affecting your sales. (page 2-17) · 5 signs that your salesperson isn’t worth a damn.
(page 2-54) · Why you should never use a collection agency for
past due accounts. (page 5-15) · The way to take $10,000 or more out of your
business without owing a penny in taxes. (page 6-14) · There are 49 types of tax-free income. Know them or
you will pay unnecessary taxes. (page 6-47) · and much, much more! The answer to any one of these items will pay for
the entire class. You will be mailed one
chapter and one CD per month for six months.
· The book is over 350 pages crammed full of the
details… telephone numbers, emails, forms, flowcharts, checklists, problems,
tools, etc. that you need to run your business. · Each CD is over an hour in length and is a recording of a live class. You can listen to the information in your car when you are driving, on your computer when you are multi-tasking, or just working around the house. I know that seems like a
ton of stuff, but you really need all of it if you're going to be
successful. What would you leave out? Sales? Taxes?
It's not possible! Every single
module is a "must" for your business success!
Although the course is extremely comprehensive, it is anything BUT overwhelming!
You will also be emailed a monthly Action Guide that will outline the steps that you are to accomplish that month. This is so you can keep your “eye on the ball,” but not be overwhelmed by all of the content. When you use the monthly "Action Steps”, you'll implement a system for your business, step-by-step, that will have your business... · Completely set up and running properly. ·
Leveraging your time
through employees, independent contractors, and outsourcing. Most business
owners spend way too much time in their businesses, and not enough time
planning and working on those activities that are the most profitable to their
business. I will use the 80/20 rule to show you how to double your profit
within 90 days… guaranteed. What is THAT worth to you?
·
Cutting the excess
costs in business overhead. As stated previously, this is the way Dan Kennedy
feels is the best way to increase your profits.
·
Slashing your income
taxes to the bone.
I am not going to sugar coat
this… Running a business requires work. There will be times when you will need
to fax, email or call me so I can review your progress and answer your specific
questions.
You can see why I limit
myself to only 100 students at a time. If it were any more, it would be impossible for me to
give the level of service that will insure your success.
That’s All Great….
But How Much Will It Cost Me? How much would it be worth to you to add $ 3,000 per month or MORE to your bank account? Would it be worth What if I told you that you could get all this and MORE for only a measly $97 per month for a year? Yep, you read that
right! Tuition for our Running a Profitable Small Business program is ONLY $97 per month for a
year!
If you’d like to save some
money, you can pay a one-time fee of only $997. This amount is tax
deductible so, assuming you are in the 45% tax bracket (and most of you
are… if you add up the federal income tax, the state income tax, city income
tax and self-employment tax), your investment is only $549 or $54 per monthly
payment.
Where else will you find a program that doesn't just teach you the basics of building a business, but really helps you to put all of the pieces into ACTION ... and... pays for itself? What I mean is this... if
you use the lessons in the first few months properly, you'll easily be able to
earn well over the $97 that you invest each month.
But it gets better still ... 365 Day Money-Back Guarantee.
So here's the deal ... All of the students who have gone through our Running a Profitable Small Business program use this same exact system to build their businesses. We know from their results that the system you're about to learn WORKS -- and it works well! We also know that if you simply take action on what we're about to teach you, you WILL increase your sales! You WILL reduce your expenses. And you WILL slash your taxes! In fact, we're so very confident about your success that we're willing to put our mouths where your money is with this 365 Day Money-Back Guarantee... If you take action on everything you learn in our Running a Profitable Small Business program and you do not make $5000 or more during the next 365 days, we'll refund every penny of tuition to you. Does it get any easier than that? Does it get any better than that? Well, let's see if I can try to top it one more time ... Yep, it gets better still ... You can go through the entire program again and again and
again and again --- and never pay another cent!
Why would you want to come back through the course a second or third time? Well, since the program is all about helping you take the right ACTION, you'll want to use it again and again to build a second business for yourself, or another product line for your existing business, or any other number of reasons you may have for going through the entire course multiple times. Besides, as things change in business, the modules are continually updated. Remember the Google Slap from a few years ago? Well you would have known EXACTLY how to get around it if you had completed this course, because we would have told you what to do -- even if you had already completed the program! In other words, once you become a part of our Running a Profitable Small Business program, you will never again be alone in your business. And from here onward, we'll have your back -- helping you to grow your business in any way that we can! Right now, you're sitting there not getting the results that you want in your business. If you were already seeing the success you wanted and deserved, you certainly wouldn't have read this far down on our website. Just think, after you use the first few lessons to get the foundation of your business ready, you'll be able to make $500 or more in the very next month. (And that's if you do just the bare minimum assignments.) When you know how to make $500, you already know how to make $5,000 or even $50,000 -- all you have to do is the exact same thing 10 times or 100 times! It's really that simple! When you enroll in our Running
a Profitable Small Business program you have absolutely nothing to lose! Either you're going to make
$500 a month and be on the road to making $5,000... or you'll get your money
back! (Even if that happened, you'd still have a concrete system up and
running to show for the time you have invested!)
You get to keep the
materials for 365 days, and if our system doesn’t at least triple your
profits, we will give you your money back… no questions asked.
The next step is yours! When you compare our
30-year tested, step-by-step system with the cost of a franchise, the price of
a consultant, or college tuition… each one of these could cost tens of
thousands of dollars, it is very inexpensive.
And we guarantee your
success. Name a franchise, consultant or college that will do that!
Bonuses. Bonus #1: The best system in the world will
not work unless you have the ability to ask questions… so included is access
to our membership site (www.smallbizking.com)
for three years. The normal cost of the site is $97 per month… and it is
worth every penny. (Value: $3,492). You will receive:
· Each month, there will be a 90-minute content and Q & A call that will help answer all of your questions! Each month, you'll get to send your written questions to us prior to our Wednesday evening Q & A call that takes place at 8 PM EST. The call will help keep you moving forward in building your business. You will be able to ask questions during the call. You will not only learn from your questions, but other business owner’s questions. If you miss a call, it will be recorded and archived on the membership site so you can listen to it at your convenience. · Access to our Forum where you'll be able to ask your questions between calls. In the Forum, you'll have a chance to network with other students and learn from their experiences. · At least one special in-depth report per month on a specific topic that the readers suggest. · My private telephone number so you can call me, an honest-to-goodness business expert, once a month for 15 minutes. If you don’t use the 15 minutes it will be carried forward. My charge for consulting is $300 an hour… so this, alone, is worth $75 a month. You’ll get access to every
perk of our online membership program. This is the only website where you have
discussion boards, forms, tools, free research, education and much more!
Bonus #2: I will create a corporation or an LLC for
you. I feel very strongly that everyone’s personal assets should be protected
by one of these legal forms. This is transferable. So, if you already have an
LLC or corporation, or want to stay a sole-proprietor, you can either give this
away or sell it and pay for the class. An attorney would charge you from $500
to $1,500 for this service. You will receive a certificate for this service
after you pay the $997 or when you make the first 3 payments of $97.
Bonus #3: I will do a 6-year financial forecast for
your business. This will include a balance sheet, income statement, cash flow
statement, and ratio analysis. This would be invaluable as a planning tool for
your business and an excellent document
to give lenders or investors if you need financial support. An accountant would
charge you between $1,500 and $2,000 for this service. You will receive a
certificate for this service after you pay the $997 or when you make the first 6
payments of $97.
These three bonuses alone are worth more
than $6,500!
