Don’t miss out on this annual entrepreneurial training October 23rd (evening) and October 24th (all day with a social in the evening).
Hi everyone
I’m sure you’ve seen a lot of emails flying around about product launches this week. Well, this is different… because it’s completely free, with no opt-in required.
Jeff Walker just took down the “firewall” that was hiding his full-blown Launch Masterclass. It’s more than 12 hours of content, including downloads, Q&A, the “super secret” sessions… and even the infamous “Squirrel Cam” that had viewers raving (you’ve gotta watch to get it).
All 12+ hours of video are now on one page, and you don’t need to give your email to see them. Just go here to watch now:
https://productlaunchformula.
I’ve been watching along and this training has incredibly high value. It’s innovative and thorough – and I hope you are getting a lot out of it. And it doesn’t even require an opt-in.
If you want to catch it – please watch right now, because the Launch Masterclass recordings won’t be up there for long:

P.S. I’m sure Jeff would love for you to buy his full-blown course, but these Launch Masterclass recordings are free – and they really show you how to structure your product or business launch.

On Sunday. The “Lesson 4” LIVE broadcast will be hot. Jeff will be teaching “open cart” strategies, as well as how to sell effectively without being slimy… His approach is to give lots of value before asking for a sale – and I know from years of Grow Vantage classes that sales is a sore point with most of us. We don’t want to look like used car salespeople.
Jeff will again go LIVE to teach at 4pm ET. Here’s what’s really cool about this broadcast:It’s all about what to do once you open the cart and start taking orders. This is one of the most critical parts of the launch… and it’s also one of the most overlooked.
You’ll see how he introduces the sale and the bonuses available to people who register early (on Monday).
One of the pieces of Jeff’s presentation is a sales video. It will allow you to look at the elements he uses and you will get a ton of value.
Case studies are sooo important (as are testimonials) to providing social proof. (Which is why I’ve asked you to consider providing me with a Grow Vantage case study). There is a wide variety of businesses who will provide this information, in all kinds of niches and markets.
Here’s just a taste of some of the really awesome case studies we’ll be featuring on that page (some of whom I have met):
All FOUR of the Launch Masterclass Lessons on one page, no opt-in required. If you’ve missed anything so far… this is where you can catch up.
Hoping you are finding a lot of value in these broadcasts.
Hi everyone
I am preparing for expanding Grow Vantage in the next few weeks and months.
I would appreciate your sharing a testimonial with me for how Grow Vantage has impacted you.
I will not use your name or anything that would identify you if you prefer. Would you mind sending me an email to patricia@growvantage.com in the next week?
You have my gratitude!

Hi everyone
I was at a conference in Montreal in August, and raised the issue of transcription with another attendee. I was offered a free month of premium trial for otter.ai and have been testing it with my latest 3 hour class, mastermind and coaching.
It is brilliant (though text still needs to be cleaned up). It will also integrate with zoom and capture everyone’s voices if needed. Link below to a free trial (note – they have set up a referral mechanism that gives both the referring person and referree a free month).
The paid version allows 6,000 minutes per month for $10US/month or $100US/year. Not sure how long this will last.
Here is my link: https://otter.ai/referrals/VR50IU0A

Newcomer Career Conversations is a new program for the English as a second language community. This program can help newcomer adults and students who are not yet permanent residents or Canadian citizens in getting and keeping a job.
Please share the below blurb with your network, especially anyone that is looking to improve their English communication skills with a focus on the Canadian business culture.
The Barrie Public Library is hosting this brand new complimentary program in collaboration with The Small Business Centre and Creative Barrie.
What is it?
Newcomer Career Conversations offers opportunities for people in Simcoe County to connect with others who are learning English communication skills, with a focus on employment, entrepreneurship and business topics. Attendees will learn how to communicate effectively, prepare presentations and participate in oral activities guided by experienced volunteers. They will gain business contacts, practice career focused conversations, and develop an understanding of Canadian business culture and the job market. Also, learn how to access and navigate the correct and suitable resources in the Barrie and Simcoe County ecosystem that will help them thrive.
The RAW and REFLECTIVE 2020 calendar was launched to give a voice to cancer survivors (and those who have lost the struggle) and to bring awareness to the impact of this fateful diagnosis.
Cancer rates are rising rapidly. As of 2020 one in two people will experience a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime.
One in Two.
The Canadian Cancer Society statistics mean that there will be over 7,700 cases here in our community alone.
Spearheaded by Sharon Smith (GV32) Connect Hair Studio, the Raw and Reflective calendar features 13 models, 14 of Barrie’s most accomplished videoographers and photographers (including Ian G. McIntosh, GV35, Laura Joy Bainborough (GV37) and Jennifer Klementti (GV5), a graphic designer, an editor and a dedicated volunteer committee who brought this project together to raise funds for Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka. The project has been sponsored by a number of generous firms in Barrie and across the county. It takes a village – just as it does to deal with cancer.
Gilda’s Club of Simcoe Muskoka ensures that no–one in our region has to face cancer alone. In spite of receiving no funding from government subsidies, Gilda’s Clubs do not turn anyone away. They operate over 700 programs and welcome all affected by cancer with understanding, compassion and care.
On this, their 10th anniversary, we are proud to have the opportunity to support one of our critical resources in the fight against this disease we know as cancer. Talk to Sharon, or Patricia (Miss April, along with Sprocket and Bell the dogs) or go online to Gilda’s.
Thank you for your support.
