James Schramko here, and I’ve got a special news update. I’ve just fired up the camera and I’m going to call this one “Insert Excuse Here.”
How much is your business worth?
I get emails from people, and they tell me stuff like, “Oh, I want to join SuperFastBusiness, but I’ve got to wait until my business can afford $79.” And I think, $79? So your business is not able to support a $79 investment?
For $79, you can actually ask me questions, you can ask another bunch of members (there’s nearly 800 members) questions that will get you pointed answers and move your business faster than just about anything else. If your business is not worth $79, then what sort of business do you have? Seriously?
How long are you going to continue to tell yourself that one day you’re going to get this, that one day you’ll be ready, that one day you’re going to be able to afford it? You’re not going to be able to afford it until you get out of your own way. Mentally, you have to change, because whatever you’re doing now is sabotaging your success.
I’m not saying you need to go and spend money on absolutely everything. But I do know that if you can invest money somewhere where you’re going to get good advice and good information, you can save yourself a lot of time.
My big mistake
I didn’t buy an information product for about nine months, and it was a huge mistake. Because every month now is worth a six-figure sales month to me, and if I had have gotten started nine months earlier, then I would have made probably another million dollars in the compound effect of not getting the right information from the beginning.
Now back then, there wasn’t anywhere to get the right information. However, if you’ve watched me, if you’ve watched some of my students, if you get my newsletter, if you like the information that I put out, if you listen to my podcast, you’ve had a good enough example of what sort of information you’re likely to find inside SuperFastBusiness.
My challenge to you
I challenge you. Invest $79 in yourself, in your business, and step it up. And don’t send these lame excuses about how hard it is, you’ve got a full-time job or you’ve got a kid or you’re one day some day maybe thinking about trying, possibly… That is all BS. If you really want to get ahead, spend $79 on your business, ask questions, get answers, and then implement.
And stop subscribing to all of those crazy emails where you get spammed every day with solo mails, affiliate offers, up-sells. You know these people are making a living just by sending you that type of email.
Look at my free content
Go to SuperFastBusiness.com. Have a look at the amount of content that I put out for free that’s good enough for you to be able to get results. I will link right here to some of the best training modules I’ve put.
I’ve put ones about video SEO. I’ve put ones about how to structure a training course. I’ve put ones about whether you should shave or not, for personal presentation. Go and have a look at some of these posts.
Have a look at some of the interviews. Click on the Interviews tab, listen to the people I talk to. This is all for free. All of this stuff is in my mind and in the mind of the other members, and I’m here to help you.
It’s going to cost you $79 towards your business, so I challenge you. Do the $79, join SuperFastBusiness, give yourself 30 days to get a better idea or a better feel for what you should be doing than what you have right now, and if it’s not absolutely amazing information, if you can’t move your business forward for $79 worth of profit, then you can stop your subscription at any time. The chances are, though, that you’ll be in there and you’ll enjoy it.
And if you happen to live in a major regional area, there’ll probably be local meetups, you can go and meet with people. Just that feature, for $79, would be amazing value, if you could go and sit with 25 others in Sydney or Melbourne or Los Angeles or London and actually brainstorm face to face. That is a great reason to get into that community, because other people are motivated and committed like you.
Make the choice
So here’s your choice: excuse making, getting in your own way, or decide to bite the bullet, invest in yourself, and put yourself on the line to make yourself accountable to make more than a $79 return on investment within the next 30 days. I’m challenging you. You’re watching James Schramko, I hope you take me up on the challenge. If you’ve got any questions, ask here.
But please, don’t send me these lame emails about how hard it is for you. It’s not. It’s as hard as you want to make it. From everything up until yesterday, you can forget about. Because today and moving forward is a choice. See what you can do about it.

Powerful advice.
Powerful advice.
someone emailed me: “Hi James,
Thank you for today’s excuses-video on your site.. it was a true smack in the face.
It makes me angry about myself, I think that’s a good sign.
Best regards,”

Funny, I was already going to join before you made this video, but your video did clarify some things for me.
For me it wasn’t really about the money, it was about being disciplined enough to consistently go in, read, learn, implement, etc.
Another thing that plagued me was that many topics being discussed seemed to be in a different stratosphere or different plane than I’m on… I realize you are to surround yourself with folks that have achieved a level that you want to achieve, but there seemed to be a gap that I didn’t know how to narrow…
I think I’ve put my finger on how I can make it work:
1. I’m going to UN-subscribe from all but a small handful of email lists. (focus is needed not the allurement of being pulled into a million different directions, regardless if it sounds like info/training I’ve been missing).
2. I’m going to QUIT (yes, that’s a positive word) many of the groups I’m a member of on Facebook that I am not participating in. It’s insane that I click the numbers beside those groups on the left side just to CLEAR them, so I don’t feel the pressure of all the stuff I missed. Utterly Ridiculous waste of time!
3. Map out plan of laser-focused action steps to work on 3 high leverage activities per day to push my business forward.
4. Limit spending on anything but the essentials. I always buy, consume, determine good or bad, promote if good. That requires a certain amount of spending each month. Will map this out better.
Take Care,
Carol

Carol this is really good information and helpful thank you so much. Actually made this video because of several e-mails from people who were unable to connect the dots and I was frustrated. I did not broadcast this to my main email subscriber list because It could be viewed as on the edge of acceptable levels of communication.
Re your point number 3) After I made this video I started the action accountability thread inside FWF which has taken off like wildfire because accountability helps people translate the value in front of them and see it for themselves like looking in a mirror.
I also have over the years unsubscribed from almost every newsletter, Facebook group and forum. That includes watching almost no TV, avoiding print newspapers etc… It is easy to add much harder to build the discipline to take away.
It is so much easier to move forward when you have single tracks to follow.
Most importantly I want to HELP YOU carol! I do, and I can.
See you on the inside.
Thank you!
I’ve already posted in the accountability thread, awesome addition!
excellent. We have some more new features coming too!
