Last week I hinted about the biggest business investment I’d ever made. Then I challenged you to guess what it was with the first to guess winning an exclusive Unemployable mug or t-shirt.
Well, we have a winner! In fact we have two. But before I reveal the answer and who won, let’s review the hints about the investment.
- It was something I had been working on putting together for a few months
- It came together with a phone call and a wire transfer
- I agreed to it on the spot
- I had to prepare for something in mid-July
- It would benefit my customers/community
And the Winner Is…
I decided to declare two winners. The first two to hit the answer dead on were @danielwatrous and @NCoastGardening. Congrats! Now, drum roll please. The answer is…
You got it! A few others also guessed right including @masonworld, @larajf, @ToddSkaggs and @KickTheWebGeek. Well done!
A Priceless Opportunity
Today I’m off to Los Angeles to meet with Jeff Walker and his team. In addition, fifty of his top hand-selected students will be there to mastermind with me. For three days we’ll plan the launch of my upcoming New Media Mastermind membership site.
Jeff’s time doesn’t come cheap. I had to pay five figures to solidify the opportunity. But even my most conservative calculations show that the ROI will be significant and the impact long-lasting. I didn’t hesitate at the cost for a moment.
Success Slingshot
Something that has consistently shot me forward as an entrepreneur (and before that as a musician) is working with mentors. Whenever I’ve wanted to jump to the next level, I’ve called ahead to someone that’s already there and asked them for directions.
My first business mentor helped me escape the 9-to-5. The next mentor introduced me to the world of information marketing allowing me to ditch a business that was quickly turning into another job.
The following mentor taught me how to use my marketing skills on the Internet allowing my wife and I to move our business and life to New York City and other cities such as Buenos Aires.
It was a trusted mentor that taught Sterling and I the power of membership sites directly leading to the six-figure revenue now generated by Internet Business Mastery.
Each mentor has impacted my life and business significantly. So when set my goals for this year, I knew right away it was time to work with another mentor. Jeff Walker was the guy I needed.
Million Dollar Launches
Jeff Walker is a highly sought after marketing consultant and creator of the Product Launch Formula.
He was involved in the first ever one million dollar launch for an online information product when John Reese pulled a million dollars in sales in a day. Since then, he ‘s worked with numerous high profile clients including Dan Kennedy, Frank Kern and StomperNet (whose launch produced 3+ million dollars).
I’m extremely excited for the opportunity to work with Jeff since he only works directly with one or two clients a year. He’s very selective about what he spends his time on.
So how did I make it happen? How did I get Jeff Walker to call and offer to work with me? Well, that’s a question that I’ll answer in a special case study video. To get this video you have to be on the Ultimate Success Case Study Alert List. I’ll post it at the end of the week.
Trickle Down Effect
The great news for you is that this experience will lead to great content for this blog and the Academy. Insights gathered from my consultation with Jeff and his team will trickle down to benefit you as well.
Creative Guesses
Thanks to those that participated in the guessing game. It was a lot of fun to see all the ideas come in. Some people got really creative. Other guesses included:
- Buying a Pinkberry franchise
- Purchasing ad space on the moon
- Being offered a cable TV show
- Buying podcast startup, Mevio
- Investing in a brand new podcasting studio
- Signing up for golf lessons
- Having a baby

I bet Jeff called Kern and said, “Dude, you’ll never guess who I get to work with!?… Jay VO from the number one podcast ever” :-)
Before it’s all said and done he’ll be hiring you.
Congrats.

congrats Jason, that’s outstanding news!
just yesterday I was chatting with an IBMA contact about how to get in these kind of programs. Obviously, it costs, but I know that folks like JW are selective. So, we were just musing about how to get an “in” with these guys/gals.
So, our questions for you are:
1) who are the mentors who have helped you along on your journey and how to you get in touch with them or accepted to work with them
2) have you always had a clear idea of what exactly they were to help you with? For example, JW will help you with the product launch, but imagine also in other business areas as well – have you always been so “clear eyed” as regards ter kind of things you were hoping to learn from your mentors, or did you sometimes just thing “this guy can help me, I don’t know exactly how, but they’ll make the difference”?
3) how did you calculate the ROI for working with JW?
4) What has the post-mentor phase been like? Do you keep in contact with your previous mentors? JV with them? etc…
that may be too many questions, but, frankly, we’re curious to know more about this!
best wishes and regards from Germany

… just signed up for the “platinum” early group and saw that you answer question 1 from my previous mail in the audio.
thanks very much for “spilling the beans” it’s fascinating!

I’m excited for you!
I believe in mentoring, where I struggle is I would like to have more than an e-mail mentoring situation. Also there are so many “gurus” out there.
How do you identify what you need?
How do you find the mentor?
How do you connect with the mentor?
Of course, you are a great mentor, so I know I have a good start.
