Resources

The Millionaire Marketing Mentor's Million-Dollar Blueprint

Moving to the U.S. from Poland

  • Adam says that he was "young and stupid" when he came to the U.S.
  • He moved to the U.S. in 1989, around the time the Polish communist government ended and democratic elections began.
  • His motivation was to escape the no-opportunity mentality and make his way elsewhere. Another thing was Poland's three-year mandatory military service.
  • Adam came to the U.S. with only 194 bucks with limited English speaking skills.

Figuring Things Out

  • "Survival of the fittest" defined Adam's journey: he was a high school graduate with no skills. It took him around three to four months to find his bearings. 
  • Listen to the episode to know how Adam turned 50 cents into $5 multiple times a day by installing peepholes!
  • Most people become entrepreneurs because of their academic and educational background. They always wait for someone else to permit them.
  • One of the things that got Adam ahead is claiming to be something and proving it.
  • Not learning quickly enough was not an option. If he waited to get training or get certifications, he would have starved.

Adapting to the Fast-Changing World

  • The top-paying jobs and marketing innovations today didn't exist years ago.
  • It would be best if you had situational awareness of what's going on in your marketplace.
  • You can always get ahead and do well for yourself with this awareness.
  • Adam takes quotes that people take for granted and find what they mean for him. He asks about business, “Are you where the puck is, or are you heading where the puck is going?”
  • Listen to the full podcast to learn how Adam relates the quote to business adaptation!

The Biggest Challenges Adam Faced

  • The minor things are not speaking English and not having money, connections, and education. The major challenge was being lazy and wanting to be rich.
  • The best entrepreneurs are lazy. They're always looking for a better way to accomplish something, driving them to create new solutions.
  • Adam thinks that he hasn't come across his biggest challenge yet. He calls himself the optimistic realist. 
  • Another greatest challenge is himself and his way of thinking. 
  • The skills you've got may also be what's hindering you from going to a million-dollar level.

Solving a Problem

  • You cannot solve a problem with the same level of thinking awareness that created the problem in the first place.
  • From your vantage point, you may only be seeing limited solutions to your problems.
  • The key is to engage in activities driven by where you want to be, not from where you are.
  • When you feel stuck in a problem, think about it as if you were in a different place.
  • Moving away from the problem and gaining a new perspective can show you the opportunity behind the problem.

Gaining Wisdom from Books

  • For Adam, our way of thinking is 95% of the foundation that decides whether we succeed or fail.
  • Some of the first skills an entrepreneur must master in marketing is selling and persuasion.
  • He has his team read the book The Secret of Selling Anything by Harry Browne. It says that everything is about the exchange that gives us more happiness.
  • The book teaches you present offers that make prospects see them as a pathway to happiness rather than spending money.
  • Tune in to the full podcast to discover Adam's favourite books!

Adam's Biggest Mistakes and Lessons

  • One of the biggest mistakes is not reaching out for help fast enough. Being a fast learner created an illusion of not needing support for Adam.
  • He can only reverse engineer what he sees in other people's programs, not what he doesn't. Tune in to the podcast to hear Adam's Ferrari analogy!
  • His biggest mistakes: not generating a process and not looking at someone who was doing it better and reaching out.
  • Our perception of investment is the higher the amount, the greater the risk. However, the risk is the same, whatever the amount, and as a result, it trips us up.
  • The price you charge has less to do with your methodology and more with the client's potential for gains.

Theory of Constraints

  • Put together a triangle. You have three constraints if you want to be at any one of the corners.
  • These three constraints are cheapness, speed, and quality. You can never have all three.
  • Customers who want to get things done faster with the least amount of energy understand that it requires increased investment.

Going Platinum in Marketing 

  • Creativity often leads to distraction. Some entrepreneurs are more excited about the idea of what isn't than what is.
  • Adam shares the concept of going platinum in marketing the business with his clients. It roots in the music industry, in which Adam gives an in-depth example in the podcast.
  • One of Adam's most popular programs is Attract Clients Like Crazy. He promoted it for a decade and held a webinar every week with different promotional partners.
  • The mistake of most creatives is creating something new instead of finding a better marketing strategy to promote what they have.
  • Tune in to the podcast to hear how Adam's clients found success in going platinum!

What's Next for Adam

  • He's working on putting together better promotional materials for his existing marketing programs.
  • Adam focuses on teaching marketing to people through three things: consistency, redesigning the delivery method, and prospect persuasion.
  • His commitment to his coaching business is only two hours a week. The value is measured by the results, not the time they spend working.
  • Unveil the path for a prospect to decide to invest in themselves and get access to your solutions.
  • What will make prospects happier is either gain something that will improve their ways or eliminate a problem. 

5 Powerful Quotes from the Episode

“I had no skills, I had no title, I had no education. So I couldn't rely on this. I basically had to go and claim to be something or someone and just prove that I am it.”

“The skill he was teaching them was situational awareness. Like you can’t just be a solo player in the pool amongst other players, you have to be there and you realize you’re part of the entire pool. So even though you’re swimming with a ball, and whatever you are, whatever you're doing at the moment, you've got to be aware where the rest of your teammates are, where the opponent is. So you've got to be aware of the entire pool. Because if you don't, you're gonna get crushed, you're gonna get you know, your balls gonna be taken away from you, you're gonna be blocked, you've got to be aware of the whole thing.”

“I really believe that whatever we undertake, 95% of the foundation that decides whether or not we will succeed or fail is really our thinking.

“When I want to get something done, I'm looking at who is already doing it successfully, that I know that I can get proof that it's done, that they're doing it ten times better than I am, and reaching out and say look, you know, how you're doing this or here's what I'm doing, how can I infuse some of what you've learned into what I'm doing to expedite the results.

“And one thing that people don't realize, (is) that the price that you get to charge for what you do has less to do with you, your methodology, the quality of what you do, and nearly everything to do with the prospective clients, potential for gains.”

How to Sell Your Business: 17 Types of Billion and Million Dollar Exits with Steph Sharp


Have you ever thought to sell your business and start anew? It’s challenging to know how to sell your business at a good price and deal. Studies have shown that business owners have a success rate of 5% in selling their businesses! It’s not just about the exit; you need to have a good strategy.  

In this episode, Steph Sharp joins us to talk about how exits start with knowing how your business works. An attractive business can operate and thrive without its owner. Steph also shares exit strategies and common pitfalls you might encounter while you try to sell your business. 

If you want to learn how to exit your business, then this episode is for you! 

Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:

  1. Understand the ways you can make your business transferable and scalable.
  2. Learn how to make your business attractive through the right pricing, business model, terms, and documentation.  
  3. Discover the different ways you can exit and sell your business. 

Resources

Episode Highlights

Knowing Your Business Inside and Out

  • Steph shares her story of starting with small businesses, investment banking and capital markets, and eventually negotiations. 
  • There are five types of businesses: charity, hobby, job, basic business, and transferable business. 
  • Understanding your type of business makes it easier to know what exit strategies to employ. 
  • For example, most basic businesses are profitable. However, people cannot come in and do your work. 
  • Scalability and transferability are important aspects of exiting a business. Hear Steph’s in-depth discussion in the full episode!   

There Is Always A Way Out 

  • We don’t need to be trapped in a business for life. There is always an opportunity to create a way out. 
  • Step back and ask yourself: why do people buy a business? 
  • Most people don’t buy a business because it can make money. People buy a business because they believe it can make money. 
  • Knowing this, you need to show how your business drives profits.
  • Make sure that your effective systems can be repeated and transferred to another. 

What Are You Transferring? 

  • Legal documents and paperwork are not the end-all and be-all to sell a business. 
  • Transferring a business is about making sure it does not fall apart after getting sold.
  • The research shows that business owners finance as much as 80% of their businesses.  

Financing, Earnout, and Capital Markets

  • Earnouts occur when owners get paid for their exit over time. This deal can create the problem of a buyer backing out a year into the contract. 
  • When you sell your business to people who don’t know how to run it, you may eventually have to come back to take over again. 
  • Seller financing is also a popular option for selling businesses. 
  • Capital markets are often in the hunt for good business deals. 
  • Listen to the full episode to get a clearer understanding of how to market your business. 

Common Pitfalls of Business Exits

  • Steph shares that one of the biggest mistakes when you sell your business is not having an adequate financial record. 
  • Proper business documentation is also necessary. This document should be the operating manual which details costs, clients, and the like. 
  • When owners think of selling their business, they're often at a point where the business is deteriorating. 
  • You need to make sure your business is attractive to potential buyers. 
  • Typically, a business is worth about a third to half of what the owner thinks. 

Profit Is Not Cash Flow

  • Remember that profit is affected by depreciation and other non-cash variables. 
  • On the other hand, cash flow is how the buyer will pay off the loan for buying the business. 
  • You need to be able to answer how many years they will be paying for the loan before they start earning money. 

Disconnect Between Owner and Business

  • A lot of owners think they have employees, coaches, or contractors who will buy their business. This is not the case. 
  • People will often choose to start their business rather than buying one. 
  • This is also applicable to employees: how do you make sure your employees stay and don’t start their own thing? 
  • Rather than just sell your business, you also need to think about how you want your lifestyle to change after the exit. 

Exit Strategies

  • Business owners often don’t have exit plans for their business. 
  • Exit strategies are crucial for emergencies. If you are the focal point, what happens when something happens to you? 
  • Ultimately, you need to craft a business that can continue to work and thrive without you. 
  • One exit strategy is going public. This causes a significant boost to your business value. 
  • Tune in to the full episode to hear more about exit strategies! 

Expected Timeline of An Exit

  • Steph shares that you can expect 3-4 months to pinpoint what you’re selling exactly. 
  • Spend some time structuring your selling process. 
  • Get attention and attract buyers quickly.
  • Steph’s 100% sell rate is due to the attention to correct pricing, terms and expectations, and good business documentation.    

What the Data Shows

  • Financial statements often break down costs for labour, fuel, operation, and others. 
  • You need to make sure your statements can show how the business operates clearly. 
  • Too much information and detail can clutter your documentation and financial statements. 
  • When selling, you need to be able to pinpoint patterns and trends. 

It’s Not the End, It’s A Transformation

  • People often put off selling due to the fear of letting go of something integral to their identity. 
  • Look at exits as an opportunity for new growth, business, and life instead! 

5 Powerful Quotes

“We have no condemned people. There’s always a way out — we just have to create it. . . It used to be that we could get trapped. But with the internet, with technology today, there are so many ways out now.”

“If you’re not ready for that exit, if you don’t have a business that’s- if you don’t know how you’re going to transfer that out. . . You’ll wake up in three and a half years and you’ll look around and you go, ‘Oh my gosh, look at all these businesses for sale. How am I gonna sell mine?’”

“Sometimes it’s simply a matter of sitting down with them and clarifying what their business model really is. What drives the profitability, how do they actually do the pricing? Just because it’s in someone’s head, doesn’t mean it’s going to take you months to get it out of their head.”

“People, when they start thinking about selling, it’s often they’ve thought about it, and they leave it too long.”

“People get told they should go down a certain pathway — like franchising, like an IPO, whatever. And it doesn’t suit them personally; it’s not aligned with who they are and how they want to spend their business life.”

About Steph

Steph Sharp has been involved in $20 billion deals and worked with over 400 clients in every industry. Her experience spans professional and health services, utilities, ferry operations, technology, retail food processing, and finance.

Five Pillars of Good Health with Maria Whalen


Do you ensure that you are in good health? You may be eating healthy foods, exercising, taking supplements, but do you genuinely know what’s going on with your body? 

Our bodies are made up of complex and interconnected systems. The things we think can help our body may not be the case. As entrepreneurs, being in good health is important because an illness can break any business and life apart.  

In this episode, Maria Whalen joins us to talk about dangerous misconceptions we have around health. She shares the five pillars of good health that we need to focus on instead. We need to be careful with what we ingest and put on our bodies; these can change our body’s foundational systems. 

Maria also shares her journey as an entrepreneur and her experience with illnesses that led her to advocate for the good health of entrepreneurs all around the world.

If you want to learn how to take more care of your health, this episode is for you! 

Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:

  1. Discover the different misconceptions we have surrounding health. 
  2. Understand the foundational pillars of good health. 
  3. Learn what makes an entrepreneur successful and why we need to keep moving forward. 

Resources

Episode Highlights

The Problem with Health Perceptions

  • Maria shares her hardships with illnesses and her experience with Western medicine. 
  • The more she studied to cure herself, the more she saw problems with the perception of health and medicine.
  • There is a lot of marketing hype around green smoothies and the likes. 
  • It's dangerous to think that you're already healthy just because you eat and drink certain things. 

Five Pillars of Good Health

  • Maria hopes to share ways of never becoming sick. 
  • No one is teaching how our body works. It is why there are a lot of misconceptions about health. 
  • We need to know the foundations of good health first. 
  • The five foundational pillars are the immune system, hormonal system, DNA, physical structure, and mental-emotional component.

Imbalance Is the Source of Sickness

  • Ask yourself these questions every time you are not in good health: What am I doing that’s in my body’s way? What is it I’m not giving my body that it’s asking for?
  • Once you identify the culprit, you can fix the source and damage. 
  • How can we cause an imbalance in our DNA? Tune in to Maria’s answers in the full episode. 

Is Detox Helpful? 

  • Maria shares cleansing and detox should be done in the right context. 
  • Everything needs to be in proper order, just like in business. 
  • Don’t take shortcuts towards good health.
  • The skin is the largest organ in your body, and anything you put on it goes straight to the bloodstream. 
  • How can we be more conscious about our food and products? Listen to the full episode to hear more.  

Learn the Way Your Body Works 

  • All of us experience some form of inflammation. We need to learn why this happens. 
  • When we want to nourish our bones, it’s not about taking more calcium. Taking calcium can actually cause more harm. 
  • We need to understand the physiology of our body as a system. 

The Illusion of Feeling Good 

  • People often disregard the foundational pillars because they already feel 'good.' 
  • Don’t wait until your body breaks down before you start working on your foundation.
  • Don’t claim to be in good health when you don’t know what’s happening beneath the surface.
  • When influencing your hormones, you should understand that prescriptions work differently for people. 
  • Tune in to the episode to hear about influencing your hormones! 

Interconnection of Systems

  • Your body is made up of different systems. 
  • You cannot isolate a single system; you will need to address the whole system. 
  • For example, losing weight needs to be strategic: suddenly losing weight will cause toxins typically stored in fat tissue to be released into your body.

How to Become Successful

  • Becoming successful takes a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. 
  • You also need to have a vision that’s big enough to push you through the pain of transformation. 
  • A lot of successful people came to be due to a sense of urgency and need. 

Common Attitude of Entrepreneurs

  • One important skill to master is smart networking. 
  • Become invested in other people’s products and events. 
  • Build strong relationships no matter what you get out of it. 
  • Make sure to provide people value before asking for anything in return. 
  • Get out there and do the work. Meet people outside of your usual circles. 

Balancing Work and Life

  • When balancing work and life, you need to look at the counterbalance. 
  • Make sure to recover in between the times of hard work. 
  • Keep yourself in check, so you don't burn out. 

Moving Forward

  • Keep moving and failing forward. 
  • Don’t dwell on yesterday’s mistakes because you need to keep moving. 
  • When you focus on mistakes, you’ll tend to stop and get left behind.

Building Mental Fortitude for a Successful Business with Lisa Tamati


Mental fortitude is the ability to focus and find solutions amid adversity. It’s being able to get back up when you fall. As entrepreneurs, we hear about this all the time, but it’s often easier said than done. Whenever we face challenges, we have two options: fight or flight. At that moment, we need to make a choice. Will you take ownership of the situation and keep going?  

In this episode, Lisa Tamati joins us to talk about how her personal life and business challenges built her grit and determination. She shares several business secrets to take your work to the next level. Mental fortitude is not just about your attitude towards challenges; it's also how you deal with your daily life routine. Lisa shares some healthy habits we need to incorporate into our lives.

If you want to be inspired to build mental fortitude, then this episode is for you!

Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:

  1. Learn how to build mental fortitude through consistent action.
  2. Discover how you can actively take ownership of your life and decisions.
  3. Understand how to create healthy habits and routines in your daily life.

Resources

Episode Highlights

Building Mental Fortitude over Time

  • Lisa learned discipline at a young age through her father and gymnastics. 
  • Gymnastics taught Lisa how to work hard, overcome fears, and perform in high-stress situations. 
  • Lisa shares that wanting to please her father and prove herself capable was a big driving force in her actions. 

Take Action 

  • When we make mistakes and stumble, we get back up again. 
  • As we keep taking action, we might fail, but there's a chance for success too. 
  • Lisa shares how she did a little bit of everything. Although she wasn’t qualified in the usual sense to do the work, she finds ways to do them anyway. 

Overcome Challenges and Obstacles

  • Lisa shares the hardest challenge she ever had to face was almost losing her mother to an aneurysm. 
  • They told her to expect the worst, but Lisa refused to accept it. 
  • She read up on everything she could about brain injuries and aneurysms to help her mother. 
  • Listen to the full episode to hear Lisa's story!  

How to Take Ownership

  • Lisa notes how doctors have limitations. Some work long shifts and have hundreds of patients per day. 
  • We need to do the work and have due diligence. 
  • Obsessively researching helped Lisa get her mother back to good health. 
  • Take ownership of the situation and get into the details of your problems. 

Lisa's Business Secrets

  • Knowing your strengths and weaknesses is essential. 
  • Knowing them means you find the right partners and people to cover your weaknesses. 
  • Quit when an idea isn’t working anymore is crucial. It can be tempting but don’t keep holding on to it. 
  • Time management means more energy throughout the day. Knowing what you need to focus on saves energy. 

Building a Healthy Habit

  • Through epigenetics, Lisa knows when the optimal time is for exercise, intellectual work, and resting. 
  • It's common for people to say entrepreneurs need to work harder, working over 18 hours a day. 
  • This kind of attitude is dangerous and leads to health issues and sleep deprivation. 
  • Resting can be just as productive as work. Understand that if you’re not stressed all the time, you can be more productive in half the amount of time.    

How Nature and Nurture Helps Us

  • Genetics doesn’t spell our destiny. It just guides us on what we have to watch out for. 
  • Once we know what we’re susceptible to, we can build a routine to optimize our health. 
  • You can influence how your genes express through the actions you take and the environment you put yourself into. 
  • Through epigenetics, you can learn about what you can eat and what you should avoid, when and what you should exercise, and more! 
  • Learn more about personalizing your routines in the full episode! 

Accepting Yourself and Your Body 

  • Often, our goals focus on the way we look and how we perform in specific sports. 
  • We need to understand and accept that our bodies are different, and it's a reality that some sports just aren’t for us. 
  • Being different isn’t bad. It means we have different roles to play. 
  • Pushing your limits, in your way, helps you learn more about yourself. 
  • Becoming stronger means facing challenges head-on. 

Lisa's Advice on Building Mental Fortitude 

  • Remember, we’re more capable than we think. 
  • Live your life and keep working towards your big goals. 
  • Don’t forget to rest. Recovery is an important part of working hard too! 

5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode

“Having that mentality of just ‘go, go, go’ and take action, and [when you] fail and get back up again: learn from that mistake. And that resilience, I think that comes from that because you do fall on your face sometimes; and other times, you're hugely successful.” 

“You have to be the one that goes and does the work, does the research, and not feel as if you don't have the right to do that because we live in a day and age where we can access the greatest minds on the planet.”

“So many people are just written off as: you've got a terminal illness, you've got cancer or you whatever the case may be, and there's no hope for you. When that is not true.”

“I used to work up until 12, 1 o'clock in the morning. I don't anymore because it's a false economy, you think you are getting more done by being an absolute hard entrepreneur working 18 hours a day, all that does is lead to health issues and problems and sleep deprivation.”

“So genetics is not your destiny - it depends on which genes are turned on and off, how they will really express and this is when your environment comes into it. So if you have a combination of knowing what your genetics are, and knowing how to optimize them, and avoid trial and error, then you'll be able to do the best with what you've got.”

Strategic Business: Seeing the Bigger Picture with Konstantinos Kaloulis


Scoring a big business deal would make anyone excited. Why wouldn't it? But that happy feeling can make us shortsighted and forget why we started the business in the first place. We jump in without analyzing the risks and completely fail to see the bigger picture. A strategic business won't make blind moves like that. The solution to this problem lies in repeatedly asking, "What do I want out of my business?"

At the end of this podcast, you will learn how to achieve strategic business growth. Our guest, Konstantinos Kaloulis, shares how he overcame the greatest challenge of leading a professional team in his career. We talk about how he led Doodle Video’s success, his strategic hiring process, and the value of freedom in entrepreneurship.

Tune in to this value-filled conversation on managing your team and business systems!

Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:

  1. Discover the most strategic business techniques for hiring the right people on your team.
  2. Find out why you should hold back the excitement from getting big deals.
  3. Learn the secrets to effectively managing business growth.

Resources

About Konstantinos

Konstantinos Kaloulis is the founder of Doodle Video, the world's #1 animated video marketing company. As a marketing strategist, he leads entrepreneurs in utilizing top-of-class animated video marketing. Doodle Video has a wide range of services, from video sales letters (VSLs), landing page videos, video ads, etc. Its mission is to generate more leads and higher website conversion rates for clients.

You can connect with Konstantinos through his Facebook and Twitter.

The Importance of Knowing What You Want Out of Your Business

Konstantinos’s Beginnings

  • Before he got into the business, Konstantinos used to be in the music scene and promoting for clubs.
  • He was able to reflect on himself one time while he was in a producer's mansion. He realized that he felt like he was missing out.
  • Deep down, he desired to obtain the things he had while benefiting other people.
  • That same day, he started researching and learning about business mentors.

Doodle Video’s Success

  • Doodle Video has become the world’s #1 whiteboard video production and video advertising agency.
  • They’re rebranding 6-, 7-, 8-, and 9-figure business leaders, marketers, brands, and best-selling authors.
  • Before Doodle Video, Konstantinos was working with major brands and their marketers.
  • He started out drawing the videos himself for Doodle Video. Now, there are 140 people in the company.

The Greatest Challenges in Konstantinos’s Career

  • His biggest challenge was managing growth. 
  • He had to transition from being a one-person shop to building a team of professionals and training potential team members.

Hiring the Right People

  • Even big businesses make mistakes when hiring people. 
  • Listen to the full episode to know how Konstantinos lost around $120,000 for hiring the wrong team members!
  • Now, they're more strategic in hiring, ensuring that the applicants thoroughly understand the position and can produce results.
  • Sometimes, entrepreneurs are not ready to hire a person yet. Either they don't understand the responsibilities to be assigned, or they're not capable of making the person understand the job.
  • Konstantino has two categories for his employees: the main team and the assembly line. Tune in to the full show to know how Konstantinos manages his team!

The Best Piece of Advice

  • Konstantinos is an entrepreneur who looks at the positive aspects of everything.
  • While doing multiple big deals months ago, his business partner gave him valuable advice: always analyze the big picture in every deal he gets.
  • Ask yourself, “In what ways can I personally lose out from doing this deal?”

How to Manage Strategic Business Growth

  • Konstantinos had to start seeing the business as a family.
  • It’s about finding the problems and fixing them strategically. Some people make a big mistake before they even start: choosing the wrong business type.
  • Don't compromise on your dreams, and don't look for quick money. You have to analyze what you want to make money for and evaluate the business's potential.
  • Hire a reliable team that you can trust.
  • Listen to the full episode to learn what the Lamborghini test is!

Navigating the Internet Marketing Space

  • Konstantinos came into the Internet marketing space two years ago. There are geniuses and garbage in this space.
  • However, Konstantinos noticed that people rarely explain how to build a company with the right structure.
  • This space is getting people into creating content and trading their time for money. A strategic business requires that you be crystal clear about what you want to do.

Knowing the Downside of Information Products

  • What is the opportunity cost? What are you losing to take the time to consume them?
  • Often, people who sell information products aren’t properly qualified to help those who pay them. There’s no understanding of how to help their customers achieve their goals.
  • People selling information products need to provide an overview and extra guidance on the use of that information.

What’s Next for Konstantinos

  • He currently manages multiple businesses, leads Doodle Video, and handles a $100,000 coaching program.
  • Konstantinos guarantees to turn clients’ companies into one of the top three brands in their entire marketplace within 12 months.
  • His company also does buying-and-selling of companies.

Konstantinos's Biggest Takeaways

  • Being bored is a privilege.
  • You have to see people as people and not as numbers. 
  • Konstantinos now accept three phone calls a day instead of 20 to 30 phone calls.
  • We have to take the time to connect with people at a deeper level.
  • Being a good person pays off.

P.S.

  • Do you already have a successful business that is up and running, able to pay its bills with profit left over?
  • Are you interested in growing your business, automating or streamlining things, and staying one step ahead of your competition?
