What is a virtual event?
This is any live event that does not require in-person attendance. Typically, you can attend a virtual event by using your phone to dial into a conference line (otherwise known as a bridge line), or by watching/listening in over the internet, using your computer. For this event, you’ll be emailed full instructions on how to attend the sessions and also how to ask questions before and during each session. You can choose to listen by phone or by computer. A virtual event has the added benefit that participants can attend from anywhere in the world without leaving their office or home.
What’s the duration of each session?
There will be twenty sessions, and each session will last 75 minutes. The first eighteen sessions include an Interview segment, a Business Makeover Coaching segment and a Q&A segment. The last two sessions include a think-tank discussion panel of three luminaries. You’ll be able to ask your questions online, via webcast.
Do I need any special phone or computer hardware or software?
No. This event is accessible from the comfort and convenience of your office or home. All you need is either a phone to call in or a computer with internet access to listen online. After you register for this event, you’ll receive a conference bridge phone number and an access code. On the date and time of each session, just pick up your phone, dial the phone number, wait to be prompted for your access code, and once you enter that, you'll be connected to the event. Check with your phone service provider for long distance phone charges that they may apply. Or, if you have high-speed internet access, you can listen to live sessions through your computer. The choice is yours. All the relevant instructions for attendance will be emailed to you prior to the event.
Why is this event unbelievably affordable if the experts are truly extraordinary and the value is that great?
There’s no price tag that would accurately value this extraordinary opportunity to access these first-class experts and luminaries, all sharing their collective wisdom and revealing their strategies under one virtual roof. However, we’ve made this Makeover Series affordable for the following reasons...
Reason #1: Unlike in-person events, our experts and luminaries need not travel or pay hotel fees, or carve out many days out of their schedule to be featured in this Makeover Series. Also, we don’t need to bear the costs of renting a large hall, providing meals, setting up audio-visual systems, and hiring staff to set up and take down, etc. As a result, we are able to pass all our savings directly on to you and give you access to many of the world’s top experts and luminaries
Reason #2: We've all been invited to mega events like this before, whether in-person or virtual... but such events have sometimes been cost-prohibitive to many! In today’s economy, a four-figure (or even high three-figure) price tag can be daunting for a business owner who is currently experiencing a slow or stagnant growth in their business. Sound familiar? We don’t know who can afford what, but we want to help determined independent professionals and small practice owners who are serious about thriving, not just surviving. We are committed to providing you with an invaluable ‘distance learning’ experience at the minimum cash outlay possible. So, we’ve made live attendance unbelievably inexpensive. Sounds good?
Reason #3: Ask any very successful entrepreneur, and they will tell you that surrounding themselves with experts, coaches and mentors is pivotal to their success. However, we understand that especially right now, it’s rare to have thousands of dollars lying around to hire high-level experts like these on your own. In the spirit of global citizenship, we want to be of service by getting this information and support to you, so that you can enhance your business and your life, and ultimately save the economy, not just today, but also for the future generation.
Who should attend this Makeover Series?
This event is for independent professionals and small practice owners - in sectors such as Consulting, Coaching, Legal, Accounting, Dental, Chiropractic, other Health (oral, physical and mental), Financial Planning, Real Estate and similar sectors - who are 100% committed to their personal and business success, and are willing to do what it takes to continuously thrive.
This Makeover Series is NOT for you if you:
- Have no desire to plan for continuous success or a business that outlives you
- Want to get ahead without the willingness to invest any effort, time and money in yourself and your business
- Want to hold on to excuses about why things won’t work
- Are a pessimist, whiner or a chronic skeptic
- Think you know it all and don’t believe there’s anything to gain from hearing other perspectives and experiences
What makes this Makeover Series different from other events?
You can learn new information, resources and strategies from many different sources, so there’s nothing wrong with attending other events that meet your needs. In fact, any event where you gain even one piece of golden nugget that brings exponential results is worth your time. However, apart from the powerhouse experts and luminaries we’ve lined up, this event is different in the following ways:
- Although most of the information will be relevant to several other types of businesses, this event has been designed exclusively for independent professionals and small practice owners, so it’s specialized information.
- Often, by the end of many virtual events, attendees become overwhelmed because each presenter touches on many topics without going into detail. Each topic for this event is narrow, in order to encourage rich content and eliminate overwhelm or confusion caused by a sweeping overview of broad topics.
- Unlike other low-priced virtual events like this, you’ll experience coaching by osmosis, versus listening to a presentation and trying to figure out (on your own) how to utilize the advice to properly apply it to your business. This form of implementation support is priceless. After you register, you’ll receive an email with a link that enables you to submit your application for the opportunity to be one of the 17 business owners selected for 40 minutes of direct, personalized, one-on-one coaching by one of our experts, during the live Business Makeover Coaching segments, while other virtual attendees listen in.
- We have brought together experts and luminaries that may not otherwise be affordable to many. They are phenomenally successful, outstanding at what they do, and are highly praised by their clients.

Can’t I just learn this on my own?
Over time, of course you could learn this on your own, but aren’t you strapped enough for time as it is? Our featured experts and luminaries have spent lots of years (and money) gathering, testing, implementing, tracking and perfecting their strategies with huge success in their own businesses and that of their many clients around the world. They know exactly what works and what doesn’t. So, why would you want to reinvent the wheel at the expense of losing lots of time and money?
I don't have a big business development and marketing budget, can this event still help me?
Many of the strategies you'll learn won't cost anything to implement. However, there will be some strategies that you may want to apply that will cost you something. In that case, for most businesses, it's not so much about spending more as it is either reallocating resources or making improvements on what you are already doing.
How easy will it be to apply what I learn and when will I see results?
Whether you’re a novice or veteran, the strategies you'll learn will work just as well, and will not be complicated. The kind of results to expect will depend on your desire, commitment and effort with regards to taking the action required to get your desired results. After you attend the entire event, select a few of the strategies that you think are the easiest for you to apply. Depending on your choice of strategies, you should begin to see results in a short time. As it is with anything in life, the more implementation time and effort you invest upfront, the quicker you'll see results. However, this event is designed to enable you to get results within 90 days of implementation or get results every 90 days and/or be able to apply the information within a 90-day period.
How do I submit an application to have my business selected to be on the live ‘revenue take-off makeover seat’ while others listen in?
After you register for this event, you’ll get the chance to submit your application to have your business selected for a live makeover with a focus on revenue take-off. You’ll receive an email with a link that enables you to submit your application for the opportunity to be one of the 17 business owners selected for 40 minutes of direct, personalized, one-on-one coaching by one of our experts, during the live Business Makeover Coaching segments, while other virtual attendees listen in.
What do I have to lose if I choose not to attend this event?
By sitting on the sidelines and doing nothing, or by holding on to long-held misguided beliefs about how to do business in the current marketplace conditions and beyond, you’ll welcome some frustration and may be some struggle. Put simply, you’ll be getting in your own way and that of your business. This Makeover Series is the place to be if you want to continuously prosper no matter what, and especially if your business has been affected by today’s challenging economy.
