If you’re an existing business owner, and want 2012 to mark “Your Business Transformation”… Go Here Now.
I’m hosting a one-of-a-kind live event this Wednesday – just for business owners.
During this event, I’ll do FAR more than tell you about my business transformation… I’ll introduce you to your own!
I remember my best year in the carpet cleaning business… it was 1999.
And let me tell you, from the outside looking in, everyone thought things were going great.
Everyone thought… WOW, Kevin sure is doing well… he sure does have a successful business.
BUT… on the inside, I’m thinking to myself. “I’m working my tail off, 70+ hours a week, and this business has a strangle hold on me”.
Yeah, I was grossing some pretty decent numbers, but by the time I paid my employees and covered all the overhead, it wasn’t like I was rolling in the dough.
And there were other consequences too.
Serious consequences!
My family and everything else that was important to me had taken a back seat to that doggone business.
There was this serious push and pull going on between my business and my personal life.
When I was at work, I felt really guilty for not spending enough quality time with my family.
And when I was taking the little bit of time that I did take off… I had this nagging voice in the back of my mind… constantly reminding me of all the things I needed to get done at work.
Here I was, looking good on the outside, supposedly doing really well… but I gotta tell you, the rewards sure weren’t what I thought they were supposed to be.
Then…
One day, while I was sitting at my desk, taking a close look at the business I’d created, that’s when it hit me – like a TON OF BRICKS.
I figured out what I’d been doing wrong!
Could it really be that simple?
I had to put my notion to the test, and sure enough, I was right.
By following a simple process, I was able to transform my entire business, and ultimately my life.
And now, I’m going to share the “5-Step Transformation Process” with you, so you can do the same thing for yourself.
This simple 5-step process will give you…
A business that fits in perfectly with, and funds the kind of lifestyle you truly want to have.
A business that’s a natural extension of the person you were meant to be.
A business that lets you provide value to others in a way that ONLY you can, and compensates YOU extremely well, for doing what you love.
A business that lets you be the hero for your family, as well as the customers and clients you serve.
What if I could help you make your IRA or 401K go further?
Are you willing to take matters into your own hands… instead of letting it just sit there… wasting away… while forces beyond your control continue to make the situation worse?
If so, I might just have the answer you’ve been looking for.
My friend Richard Geller has been helping people just like you, rebuild their retirement nest egg… using NO money of their own.
I first met Richard back in 2007 at one of Matt Furey’s seminars.
If you remember, that was when the big shift started taking place in our economy.
Since that time, Richard has already helped more than 9,000 people just like you, by showing them how take matters into their own hands, and rebuild their retirement nest egg.
If there’s enough interest, I’ll ask him to host a private event for you.
Maybe we can even make it happen before the end of December.
But…
As always, you’re calling the shots.
I need to know that you’d get value from something like this.
I need to hear from you.
Post your comments below if you want Richard’s help.
If there’s enough response, I’ll make it happen.
If there’s not enough interest, I won’t give it another second of my attention.
So… it’s up to you.
If you want help rescuing your 401K or IRA retirement nest egg, from someone who’s already helped more than 9,000 others, I need to hear from you right now.
Dedicated to your success,

Last Saturday morning I was on a flight returning home from a trip to Arizona, and as we came in for a landing in Seattle I couldn’t help but notice the incredible fall view.
I snapped the photo above so I could show you what I’m talking about.
I love fall in the Northwest, mostly because the change of seasons is such a beautiful thing to watch.
I almost hate to see fall come to an end.
As I took in this amazing view, I couldn’t help but think about the changes in our lives, and how they too are a beautiful thing.
Problem is… most people don’t see it that way.
Most people view change as a bad thing.
A thing they want to avoid.
A thing that’s painful.
To be honest, I too used to think this way at one time.
But not any longer.
I’ve had too many experiences over the years, which have proven to me that change is a VERY good thing.
When I look back at where I’ve come from, I can’t help but be amazed by all the changes in my life… from Alaska Fisherman, to carpet cleaner, to “mold guy”, to respected marketing and business authority in the niche I serve.
And now, because I have the goal of introducing One Million people to the concept of having their own Lifestyle-Business… I find myself in the middle of yet another HUGE change in my life.
The only difference between me and most folks, is that I have previous experiences with such change, and know it’s a very good thing.
I know that while change might cause some anxiousness in the short term, the long term benefits will far outweigh that feeling.
At the moment, in order to move toward my own big goal, I’m making some big changes inside my business.
One of those changes include making the switch from one piece of software (that I’ve been using since 2003) to a new piece of software that’s all new to me.
Needless to say, making the switch has caused some anxiousness in my life, but at the same time, doing so will allow me to grow the business and serve my clients in a way that just wasn’t possible before.
Maybe you too are going through, or have gone through some changes in the past, and those changes made your life better.
They might have been changes in your business, changes in a relationship, changes in your job, changes in your family.
If you’ve got an experience with this, I’d love to have you share it.
By doing so, you can use your experience to impact the life of someone that you don’t even know yet.
So go ahead… share your experience by posting your comments below.
And…
If my words, or the words of anyone else who’s shared their experiences on this topic have made an impact on you, be sure to let us know that as well.
After all, that’s the whole purpose of this blog… to make a positive difference in your life.
And quite frankly, if I thought for a second that we weren’t doing that on a regular basis, I wouldn’t even bother to keep it going.
So lets hear what YOU have to say.
Dedicated to your success,

For the last several months I’ve been dealing with, and shattering some of my limiting beliefs.
Yes… I have to deal with stuff like that too, just like everyone else.
Fortunately, I’m surrounded by people who really care about me, and are willing to give me the “straight scoop” when I need to hear it.
And… more importantly… I’m open to making changes in my life that will better serve me.
We ALL have limiting beliefs, yet most of us don’t even realize it.
Here’s an example of what I’m talking about.
Not too long ago a friend told me a story from his past, when he was in 2nd grade.
The teacher had he and the rest of the kids sitting in a circle, and each of them would take a turn at reading a book.
When the book was passed to my friend, and it was his turn to read, he struggled with a few of the words.
As we all know, when kids are learning to read, this is quite common.
But… as my friend struggled a little bit, a couple girls sitting next to him began to snicker.
They then said, “You sure are stupid because you can’t read”.
The effect that one comment had on my friend was incredible.
For the next 27 years he carried with him the belief that he was stupid.
All because of one comment from a couple girls in 2nd grade.
Fortunately, he was at a seminar where the subject of limiting beliefs was being addressed, and once he realized what had happened, he was able to make the necessary changes in his thought pattern.
Here’s another example. This one comes from my own life.
If you’ve been with me for any period of time, you know that I used to own a carpet cleaning business, and that business had grown to the point where I’d hired employees to help me get all the work done.
My experience at hiring employees was definitely less than favorable, so when I sold that business, I vowed to NEVER have employees again.
That limiting belief, that employees are a bad thing, has been with me since 1999.
Even with it in place, I’ve been able to build my current business to the level it’s at.
But…
I’ve now hit a ceiling in my business, and in order to break through it, I’ve been forced to deal with my limiting beliefs about employees.
Fortunately, my vision for the business has been expanded, and as you may know, I’m on a mission to introduce 1 Million people to the fact that they really can have a business that fits in with, and funds the kind of life they truly want to have.
This vision could not become a reality with my current belief system regarding employees in place.
Because I’m so motivated by this vision, it forced me to look at the limiting beliefs that were standing in my way, and change them.
With that said, I wanted to share this list of 25 limiting beliefs I found as I was doing some personal research.
In sharing them, I wanted to do a little exercise.
Maybe you’ve got some of these limiting beliefs (or others that aren’t on the list).
If so, try to think back to the point in time that the belief came into being for you, and what were the circumstances.
When you do this, it causes you to question some of those beliefs.
Here’s the list. Take a look at it, and see if any of them relate to you. I’ll then close out by letting you know how to shatter your limiting beliefs.
1. It’s not safe; I need to stay safe
2. I’m now worthy, good enough, lovable enough
3. I don’t deserve good things
4. Something terrible will happen
5. It’s greedy to want more
6. More for me means less for others
7. Others will resent me, be jealous
8. Others won’t approve of me, will criticize me, judge me
9. I need other’s approval
10. It’s not safe to shine, to stand out
11. I need to struggle; life has to be a struggle
12. I am a victim
13. I am a martyr
14. I am a savior
15. I need to take care of everyone else before me
16. I can do it better than anyone
17. I need to work hard
18. I can’t change
19. I’m too old; I’m too young
20. I missed my chance, it’s too late for me
21. The economy is bad; it’s not the right time
22. I don’t have the necessary resources – money, time, intelligence, training,
credentials, creativity, help, friends, family, etc.
23. I’m too screwed up by my past and I can’t get over it
24. I can’t do hard things
25. Failure is shameful
So…
Did you recognize any of these limiting beliefs from your own life?
If so, would you agree that they’re standing in the way of you getting to where you want to be in life?
Are they holding you back?
Now that you realize what’s going on, doesn’t it make you just a little bit angry?
I hope so, because that’s the first step to doing something about them.
The next step is to replace the limiting with a non-limiting belief.
In my own situation, I began looking at other business owners I knew who had GREAT employees. Employees who had been with them for a LONG time.
I then told myself, “If they can have great employees who are excited to be involved with their business, so can I”.
By replacing my limiting belief with one that served me better, I was able to find a gal that’s now been helping me grow this business so I can continue on with my mission.
We’re 3 months into the process, and I’m wishing that I hired her a long time ago.
So…
What’s one of your limiting beliefs, and what are you going to replace it with?
I’d love to her from you, and know that I’ve made a positive impact on your life today.

Here it is… the moment many of you have been asking for.
I made a blog post last month, asking if you’d be interested in talking with my wife Lisa… and getting her input, as the wife of a successful entrepreneur and business owner.
Lisa’s been right by my side, through thick and thin, for much of my business journey, and as you can imagine, she’s got extremely valuable insight to offer.
Maybe you’re the entrepreneur in the family, or maybe you’re the spouse, son or daughter of the entrepreneur, and have questions or comments you’d like to discuss with Lisa.
Now is your chance.
Lisa is hosting a private event, just for you.
Here’s all the details:
Thursday – November 3, 2011
6-7:20PM EST (3PM PT, 4PM MT, 5PM CT)
212-990-8000
Caller Pin: 6524#
You don’t have to register, and there’s no charge to attend the event.
If you have a specific question you need answered, or a specific topic you want Lisa to address… post it below.
I’ll make sure Lisa gets it.
And by the way, I will NOT be participating on this event.
This is for you and Lisa only, and whether we offer this free service again, will depend solely on the response we get to this event.
If this is something you find valuable, we’ll offer it again in the future.
So make sure Lisa hears from you.

That’s the amount of the first check I received for my part in a recent big project.
And now…
In this expose video, I’m going to openly talk about how I made it all happen.
But more importantly, I’m going to reveal some intimate behind-the-scenes details.
Details that most people in my position would NEVER talk about in public like this.
Check it out now, because it might not be available for long.
One thing’s for sure – this might ruffle a few feathers.
Oh… and just in case you don’t yet have your copy of the Automatic Income System, you can Get It Here.
I’ve just completed the 8th update to the system, since creating the first version back in 2004.
Needless to say, I’m excited to get it into your hands, because with this newest version of the Automatic Income System, I’m going to be able to help you in a way that wasn’t possible in the past.
In my own business, things are happening bigger, better and faster than ever before.
During this past year, I’ve hit a critical mass in my business, and am now making new discoveries at a staggering rate.
I talk openly, candidly and in great detail about how I do what I do, and how you can easily do the same.
In short, this is a step-by-step system to having your own Lifestyle-Business… just like mine.

Like most boys his age, he’s totally into Thomas the Train, and Chuggington as well.
He’s also got a huge collection of miniature trains that he plays with almost every day.
We recently spent a Saturday in Seattle, but instead of driving, we took the train.
As you can see in the photo above, the conductor even let Brock wear his hat.
Needless to say, it was an experience that he will never forget.
It’s what I call a “WOW Experience”.
So… the question is, “Are you delivering an unforgettable “WOW Experience” for the people who come to you”?
You probably saw the recent blog post, and the email I sent you, talking about the new service I’m getting ready to offer… and how I’m going to do so at NO CHARGE.
As you can imagine, the response to this was HUGE.
At the time I’m writing this, 89 people took the time to give me their feedback, and as a result, we’re going to move forward with this project.
My wife Lisa will be hosting these calls in the very near future, and we’re not going to charge a penny for them.
It’s simply going to be a HUGE value-added service that we can offer you.
While many of you will choose to participate in these calls with Lisa, the real purpose of them will be to help your family as a whole, by offering support for your spouse and other family members.
I can only imagine how many lives will be impacted by this service, and like I said, we’re not even going to charge for it.
Our goal in doing this is to bring families closer together, and I know we’ll accomplish that.
And make no doubt about it… my wife Lisa is also going to get great satisfaction from this project.
She’s been looking for a way to get more involved in the business.
A way that she could make an impact on other people’s lives.
A way that she could deliver value, and get great satisfaction from doing it.
And now, thanks to the conversation that took place last April, we discovered the perfect fit, for my wife Lisa, and for everyone she interacts with in this way.
It’s going to be a win-win situation for everyone.
Most people (especially my competitors) will look at this and see it as a strategy.
And as a result, they’ll try and copy what I’m doing.
Problem is, they won’t get the same kind of results, because their intent will be far different than my intent.
Here’s why:
I don’t view this as a marketing or business strategy at all.
I’m simply giving people what they want, and I’m doing it because I truly want to help you.
When you do something like this, and your intent is true, people will be able to sense that.
They can also sense when you’re just using another strategy to try and make a buck.
As I eluded to earlier, my real purpose behind this is treating people well, and making a positive impact on their lives.
Will I make additional income as a result of this?
You bet I will.
But the income will come as a direct result of the value I (or in this case… my wife Lisa) delivers.
And it won’t come from offering this particular service, because like I said, we’re not charging for it.
The added income will come as a result of the goodwill that we’ll instill in people.
They’ll naturally want to tell other people about what we’ve got going on, because they’re receiving so much value from it themselves.
Because we’re delivering a “WOW Experience”.
There’s a HUGE lesson here, and it’s one we can ALL learn from.

On April 1-2 of this year I hosted the Lifestyle-Business Experience here at my home in Arlington, Washington.
15 incredible entrepreneurs attended that event, and went home understanding the purpose of their lives… and their businesses.
That was the 3rd Lifestyle Business Experience I hosted, and you can be sure it won’t be the last.
Each year this event it gets more and more powerful, for the attendees, and for me.
A HUGE breakthrough came from last April’s event, and I have to be honest, I’m almost embarrassed that it’s taken me this long to act on it.
On the second day of the Lifestyle Business Experience, right before lunch, one of the Attendees, Daniel Draime (from Ocala, Florida) began sharing his situation.
A situation that would lead to the HUGE breakthrough I just mentioned.
He talked about the $5,000.00 investment to attend the 2-day event, and how difficult it was to convey the value of that investment to his wife, who did not attend.
The emotion was clearly evident as he began to share… “Here I am, half way through the second day”, he said, “having just had this incredible experience, and I don’t have a clue how to relate that experience to my wife when I get home.
She’s going to ask me what happened during the two days I was away, and try I as might, I don’t know how to put it into words.
I don’t know how to share what just happened, in a way that she’ll understand.
Can you help me with this”?
As he explained how he was feeling, my mind immediately went back to the many times I’d found myself in the same situation.
When I too had made a substantial investment to attend a seminar, take part in a mastermind meeting, or try to move my business forward.
When incredible experiences happened at those events.
When I got home, and tried to relay those experiences to my wife… and how my words were pale in comparison to what actually happened.
And yes, often times, my wife Lisa was left wondering if she was married to a crazy man.
Was her husband wasting his time, effort and money?
Why was her husband so driven to do what he does?
Why couldn’t he just be normal? (as if there is a “normal”)
I began to share some of my past experiences with Daniel, and as I did, Lisa overheard the conversation.
She’d been in the kitchen putting the finishing touches on lunch, and as she listened to Daniel talk about his situation, she felt compelled to stop what she was doing, walk into the living room, and share her own unique perspective.
Perspective from the spouse of an entrepreneur.
Perspective from a wife who sometimes wondered about the choices her husband made.
Perspective from a woman who wanted to be supportive of her man, but sometimes found it difficult.
What Lisa shared in that moment was nothing short of amazing, and yes, Daniel got just what he needed.
By the time she’d finished sharing, everyone in the room was in awe, and Daniel’s last comment was, “It sure would help a lot… if my wife could talk with you”.
In that moment, we also uncovered Lisa’s unique talent, gift and ability… which is to share her unique perspective, insight and advice with spouses and families of entrepreneurs.
Needless to say, in the process of me doing what I do over the last 15 years of my business career, and the fact that Lisa’s been by my side for most of that time… she’s got a unique and MASSIVELY VALUABLE perspective to share with you.
And like I said earlier, I feel bad that it’s taken me this long to let her share this gift with you.
And that’s EXACTLY what this is… a gift.
A gift from Lisa… to YOU.
She’d like to offer you a no-charge monthly phone call, that while it’s open to anyone, the core purpose is to offer perspective, insight, guidance, and support for spouses and families of entrepreneurs.
If this is something you’d find valuable, we need to hear from you.
You can post a simple “Yes” if you prefer, but if you have a specific question or comment for Lisa, be sure to post that as well.
It’s highly likely, that if you’re reading this, you’re the entrepreneur in the family (or at least one of them).
If that’s the case, be sure to share this with those that are most important to you and would get the most benefit from something like this.
Hopefully this has inspired you, but more importantly, I hope it opens the door to something of real and lasting value.
Something that will bring your family closer than you’ve ever been before.
Something that will be the catalyst for you to accept all the great things that await you.
If so, we’d love to hear from you.
And when we do, we’ll make plans to move forward with this ASAP.
Like I said, if there’s enough interest in this, Lisa will start hosting monthly calls for you, and there will be NO CHARGE.
This is going to be a way for her to deliver HUGE added value to you and your family by sharing her unique gift with you.
Let us hear from you, because this will be life-changing, that you can count on.
Dedicated to your success,
Kevin Thompson “The Automatic Income Coach”
