The Olympics are over...so what about YOUR Gold Medal?

I was glued to the television during the recent summer Olympic games in Beijing – weren’t you? It is so awe-inspiring to me to witness the dynamic, record-breaking results of so many committed athletes. Truly, they are the best in the world! And you know they each had at least one coach – and a circle of committed people – urging them on to the greatness they are today.

Many of us desire to be great, to be leaders in our industry – but what are we willing to do to get there?

Michael Phelps’ all-time medal record, slashing one record after another, came only after he spent more than 4 years doing this routine: “eat, sleep, swim”. Every day! Now THAT’s dedication!

Now to tie this to coaching…I am raising the bar in my own life and business to a level that requires a quantum leap. And I am making an opportunity available to just 15 people to join me…

If you are committed to being a “gold medal contender” in your business and life, I invite you to join me in the Millionaire Entrepreneur Circle. You will get to work one-on-one every month AND to network with and get support from other similarly committed business owners that also want to jump their results and revenues to a new level. We’ll even meet face-to-face three times during this one-year program – bringing a whole new dimension to the coaching!

Perhaps a moderate impact and income are okay with you – and I respect that! But if you are truly a visionary with a BIG vision – and want to help thousands or even millions of people through your work – then I want to help you! We all need a mentor to take us to the next level in our business (and I just hired a new one!).

I invite you to visit our new program web page today at www.marciabench.com/circle.html - the application to be considered for this program (an interview is required) is included there.

I look forward to helping you achieve your goals as you invest in yourself and join us.

To your bigger success,

Marcia Bench
Your Millionaire Entrepreneur Coach

PS. Remember, only the first 15 people get in – and the interest is swelling fast! Visit www.marciabench.com/circle.html today.

It it YOUR Independence Day?

Tomorrow we celebrate Independence Day in the U.S. And as someone who provides training and marketing services for entrepreneurs (specifically career coaches), I have a question for you: do you feel more independent now that you have become a self-employed coach, or less?

A trap that many coaches fall into when they have attracted some clients and business is beginning to grow is that they feel more tied to the business than they ever did to a job! They feel unable to take a vacation (because if they did, cash flow would dip or stop), they feel "on call" 24/7 through their cell phones, Blackberries and pagers, and they wish they could generate more money working less time. Does this sound like you?

I have certainly been there during my 4 businesses to date...but I'm FINALLY starting to get it! Life is made to be enjoyed, not endured...and the reasons you got into coaching to start with are still valid! They can just get buried in the seemingly endless stream of details that can fall on your desk as a business owner.

I wish you TRUE independence, in your business and your life, this 4th of July. And if you would like some help in achieving it, I invite you to consider our Career Infopreneur Secrets Home Study Program, and/or come learn LIVE with me this fall for one of my one-day workshops in Portland, Oregon: "Insider's Secrets to Starting or Growing Your Online Business: How Anyone Can Earn a 6- or Even 7-Figure Income, Working from Home" Oct. 18 or "Marketing Success Secrets for Coaches and Other Infopreneurs: How to Create an Endless Stream of Clients and Income in Less Time Than You Think" Dec. 6.

I'm so excited! I had the rare opportunity to interview Wealth Acceleration Coach David Neagle on June 30 at 8 pm Eastern. His topic is:

"It's Not the Secret: Taking Your Money Beyond the Law of Attraction - Even Beyond What The Best Marketing Systems Promise - And Into Real-Time Achievement That Lasts, Especially In Your Bank Account!"

Here's how he describes the call:

What do you do when you've spent thousands of dollars on countless personal development programs and seminars, and been able to make progress, but haven't been able to truly hit the higher goals or reach the greater level of success that you soul desires?

And then what do you do when you've spent more thousands of dollars on various marketing techniques, programs, products, coaches, etc., but haven't been able to substantially increase your client base, have a high sales conversion rate, or perfected that marketing enough to bring about your desired goal?

Find out why the top 7-figure solo-preneurs are studying under David Neagle for his secrets on just this topic...

You already know that deepened spirituality, belief in yourself, goalsetting, personal development, and investing in yourself is critical to achieving your dreams and goals.

You already get it.

But, there are still these pieces of your life that aren't accelerating at the rate that you want and need them to. Why is that?

What's the next step? How do you make the next jump up?

On this much-anticipated teleconference, David Neagle provides the answers! Find out how to speed up this whole process with much less effort and way more profit!

I'm going to be spending four days with David at his LIVE workshop, "Experience the Reality of Success," July 28-31, 2008 in Las Vegas. Won't you join me? Learn more about this event here: www.davidneagle.com/marciabench/
