The call Monday afternoon was great! And we've really received a lot of wonderful feedback. Today we're both back in the office, and after catching up and chatting about the call, we decided to make the recording for this third and final call in the series available to everyone.

Why? Well, there's a selfish reason, which is that at the beginning of this call we cover the details of our all new Newton Network programs...and of course, we want as many people as possible to listen to this.

But after that we go on to spend more than an hour answering specific questions asked by people just like you. Real questions about real businesses. We think there's a tremendous value in this information and want to share it with as many people as possible. So, this is the result.

Jimmy joined the call from his ...

Travis here…writing from Alabama, where I’ve spent the last few days with my family celebrating my little sister’s college graduation (plus Mother’s day with my mom!).

It’s early in the morning here, as I write this. But I’ve been up late putting the finishing touches on the online information site that explains all the details about the brand new Newton Network programs.

I feel very confident that you're going to find these programs to be just what you need to stimulate positive change in your business...like beginning to attract customers, automatically, and turning those customers into clients for life who pay more, stay longer and refer repeatedly. And I'm also confident you'll consider this an excellent value.

We ...

Wow! Things are really starting to heat up in Gravitational Marketing land. We're sure you can feel the excitement. Entrepreneurs from all over the world are writing in and telling us how juiced they are to find out what we have up our magic marketing sleeves. Never fear, all will be revealed very soon.

We're writing today for two very important reasons that can have a serious impact on your future business success.

The first point is to remind you about Monday’s Gravitraining Call. It’s the third call in our Slow Time Success Secrets series. Maybe you thought it was last Monday and you missed it. Maybe you’ve been waiting anxiously for it or maybe you haven’t registered for any of the calls yet -- it’s not too late. You can still benefit from this call. Just register completing the form at the bottom of this post.

If you’ve already registered for the calls, look out for an email from us later today with all the call-in ...

Yesterday, we spent the day at The Magic Kingdom with our families. It was a gorgeous day. The average temperature was 78 degrees and the average wait time on all the rides was less than ten minutes. Just an amazing day to be in the park! A fabulous day to be out of the office and enjoying life.

We love Disney and not just because we have 2 year-old-daughters. There’s more. We love Disney because it’s a treasure trove of powerful marketing lessons. Every time we go, we learn something by watching their systems and processes.

For a while now, we have be thinking about hosting a Disney Magic Marketing Experience because we know it would be so valuable to any entrepreneur who wants to boost the WOW factor of their business and Gravitational Potential. But frankly, we’ve never really gotten around to putting it all together.

Yesterday we said the heck with it and recorded this impromptu video. On the video we explain how a few of you will get the chance ...

Have you ever gone surfing? My wife Jennie and I took surfing lessons in Kauai on our honeymoon back in 2004. It was a very interesting place to learn. Big waves. When you fall off of your board (which happens to me a lot) sometimes you get caught up in a wave, for what may only be a matter of seconds, but seems like a near eternity.

The wave pulls you along, whether you want it to your not. It's a very overcoming feeling.

Well, that's sort of what's been happening here the last couple weeks. The Slow Time Success Gravitraining calls have become so wildly popular that we feel like they've taken on a life of their own, and we're just along for the ride. It's really fantastic.

There are a lot of people who were unable to ...

We're frequently asked, almost every day by somebody, how we can personally help them build their business. Over the past few years we've kept ourselves quite busy with different projects, working with specific industries, working with private clients, and the like.

And the answer to that question has usually been "Not much" unless you meet some very specific criteria and have a good amount of money to invest.

Of course, we've always kept the free information flowing at gravitationalmarketing.com, basically as a labor of love. But the last time we worked directly with a group of business owners outside of the industry specific programs we have was back in 2005.

A lot has changed in the world of marketing and business growth since then. But the popularity of Gravitational Marketing has been gaining steam over the past few years. We were asked to write the book... now that book is on the shelf.

Gravitational marketing has reached a sort of tipping ...

We just finished the first training call in our three-part Gravitraining Series, The 7 Secrets To Slow Time Success: How To Use The Recession As An Opportunity For Growth & Prosperity.

In our opinion the call went very well. We packed it full of a lot of historical data from past recessions to support the points we were making. We put a lot of effort into making the information useable and informative, and enjoyable to listen to and easy to digest at the same time. That's our endless quest!

Take a look at what the people on the call had to say about their 55 minute experience. Just check the comments section below this post.

Well, back to work finishing the details on call number two. Hopefully we'll talk to you this Friday.

Yesterday Jennie and I headed down to the Oviedo Mall to kill some time while my mom had Ella. It was one of those rare “date” opportunities! We had just seen a movie, The Bucket List (great, by the way), and enjoyed a nice lunch at our favorite Thai place.

Something was weird from the moment we pulled into the parking lot: it was empty. I almost thought the place was closed. I’m used to having to fight for parking spaces around here, so curb side parking was a real shock.

Once in the store (Dillard’s) the weird feeling continued. I finally realized that the inventory was very thin. A lot of extra space between the racks, and a dirge-like feeling in the air. Then we set out into ...

We’ve listened to you. Now we’re going to do something about it.

First off, we want to thank everyone who participated in our survey. We read all your comments and have thought long and hard about your challenges and feelings. For those who didn’t fill out the survey, we’re sure that you have similar questions in your mind about how to attract customers to your business in a natural way without forcing, without using the old-school, hard sell, manual sales tactics like cold calling and knocking on doors.

We’ve also heard your concerns about how an economic slowdown might affect on your business. We’re here to help. In fact, we’re coming to your rescue. Here’s how. We just put the finishing ...
