BLUEPRINT and TOOL KIT Program
(Version 2.0-Your Lifetime Reference!)
Use the Power of Leverage to Achieve Financial Success Faster
Ready to own a highly Leverageable business model
and build your very own 6 or 7 figure business!
Stop being seen as the one-of-many service providers, become an Industry Leader instead!
Hi, my name is Sheri McConnell and I am the president and founder of three national and international associations, the National Association of Women Writers-NAWW, the Global Institute of Associations, and the Association of Web Entrepreneurs-AWE.
I am also one of very few coaches available in the world to
specifically coach individuals on how to create and run a
profitable global association or organization from their home!
As the owner of three membership-based businesses, I enjoy a lot of freedom in my life. Freedom to spend more time with my four kids, freedom to stay in shape, and freedom to earn more than I ever did in the corporate world and way more than I ever dreamed I could owning my own businesses. Today I am able to work from my home office in San Antonio, Texas. And the best part is I am able to work with my ideal customers on a daily basis–many of them six and seven figure earners themselves.
But it wasn’t always this way…
When I started my first association way back in 2001, I didn’t have the knowledge, the skills, the money, or even the right mindset about business to create and run a profitable association. So I struggled for over two years while I learned how to run a profitable membership-based business.
By year three, I had reinvented my first association into a money making–revenue recurring–passion fulfilling business!
Let me ask you some important questions about you and your life…
- Do you like connecting with people who share your passions?
- Do you enjoy helping others by sharing valuable information?
- Would you like to be considered the go-to person in your niche or even industry?
- Would you like to build a company that is structured in such a way that you serve your ideal customer over and over again?
- Would you like to know how you can run your own organization/association/group from your home?
- Would you like to build a business that positions you as the gatekeeper of a large database(s) making it easier for you to contact and partner with the top professionals in your industry?
- Would you like to generate over six figures and even seven figures from your home office while outsourcing crucial parts of the business to qualified companies and solo professionals?
The Blueprint (and Tool Kit)
for Building a Profitable and Sustainable
Membership-Based Business
(3 Manuals & 12 CDs)
Here’s the deal…
Lots of Home-Based Businesses
Just Aren’t “Built” To Succeed
Most businesses aren’t set up for success. You spend all your time offering services and generating new leads. Only to be left exhausted, frustrated, and poor!
I want to teach you how building a membership-based business (an association or organization or coaching club) is so much smarter than many other types of businesses.
Think about all the service-based solo businesses out there: wedding cake decorators, Web designers, coaches, consultants, professional organizers, copywriters, house cleaners, home decorators, child care providers and so on.
The amount of money and freedom they can have doesn’t compare to a membership-based business!
Here are some comparisons:
- Service-based businesses suck up the owner’s time
- Membership-based businesses let you serve many at once
- Service-based businesses only produce income for you when you work
- Membership-based businesses provide recurring income for years to come even when you aren’t working (month after month and year after year)
- Service-based businesses can disappear against the competition
- Membership-based businesses stand out in their chosen niche and even industry almost immediately
- Service-based businesses don’t focus on products
- Membership-based businesses can focus on products that members request and have a built-in database of targeted customers to sell them to
- Service-based businesses don’t provide built-in equity
- Membership-based businesses naturally let you build equity as you continuously grow the membership
- Service-based businesses don’t provide instant expert status
- Membership-based businesses naturally position the owner as the go-to person in their chosen field
Passionate Businesses Are More Successful
I have to tell you that being able to connect with like-minded individuals on a daily basis and serve them with my many products and services is very fulfilling.
People tell me I am lucky all the time…
- I can take a vacation when I please or take off when I need to when my children get sick
- I escaped the “cubical farm” and I earn way more than I ever did in the corporate world
- I am building business and knowledge equity now for all my hard work instead of struggling to move up the corporate ladder (which wasn’t easy with children!)
- I get to work on products and services I am passionate about (like this one!)
- I get to spend time with very successful individuals I would never have access to if I didn’t own my associations!
- I am able to constantly invest in myself and increase my knowledge base becoming even more valuable to my coaching clients and my members–I even completed my Masters in Organizational Management with my free time!
Building A Membership-Based Business
IS SMART…
This type of business has built in leverage!
Members renew each year or month or both! I have many customers that pay for annual memberships, join a monthly coaching program, and purchase an additional infoproduct all in the same day!
- Serve customers you are passionate about
- Build a business with a strong foundation of recurring customers
- and finally build a business with equity
