Get Momentum Retreat Sept 11-14, 2014

Posted on by

Where do you go to recharge? Do you have a small, tight-knit group of colleagues who push you to Think Bigger and Achieve More?

It’s already the beginning of the year and you’re so busy with great ideas about all that you could do. So, get ready to join us in Ojai for two days as we GET MOMENTUM and prepare for the year.

What better place to meet than in Ojai, California, where the average daytime temperature is 80 degrees! This 2+ day program will change the way you see everything. We’ll focus on your plans for 2014, and think about how you can get more of the right things done while building a better work-life balance structure so that you end more days thinking to yourself, “Yes, this is all worth it. I’m working hard, and I’m gaining the benefits of that work as well.”

Plan to arrive in Ojai by 6pm on Thursday, September 11th and depart on Sunday, September 14th. This will give you 2 COMPLETE days (Friday & Saturday, September 12-13) for the in-depth workshop: to think and plan and organize your strategy to Work Smarter, Think Bigger, and Achieve More.

This Get Momentum Retreat is limited to 15 people.
There are 9 seats available.

I promise this Retreat will change the way you see everything. Here is the tentative schedule. Once you sign up as a GET MOMENTUM member, you’re invited to attend the 2 day program.

2 Ways to Be More Effective in 2014

Posted on by

What will make you work smarter, think bigger and achieve more in life AND at work?

There are more than 40 activities you can use from the book ‘Your Best Just Got Better.‘

However, sometimes too much is, well…too much. So, the necessary content and exact exercises are served up to you in monthly installments. In fact, as a GET MOMENTUM member, I guarantee you’ll go through each month with more energy and better focus. In addition, you’ll gain skills that are good for life AND work. What would you look like if you attended one day of professional development (a conference, workshop or seminar) every month for a year?

That is exactly what GET MOMENTUM gives you.

Each month you’ll have access to:

  • a 35-minute Town Hall meeting (via an online webinar)
  • one installment of the Momentum Module (a white paper I publish each month)
  • the “Member Success Profile” (a 25-minute video interview of one successful GM Member)
  • an amazing professional community ready to support you, your goals and your professional development
  • This is the training for a mind shift refined to make sense in your professional life.

By joining GET MOMENTUM, you tap into a wealth of personal expertise and experience in strategic personal productivity and result oriented goal setting. A straight-to-the-point program that provides you with the strategic AND tactical direction you need to master your workplace performance and see a productivity boost at least 25% and potentially up to 100%. 

an Aha! Moment…Every. Single. Month. Guaranteed.

This is the ‘Aha! Moment’ that you need to develop your professional skills, to plan projects, maximize meetings and even manage your email.

GET MOMENTUM taps into the synergy that can be found in teams to enable you to get moving faster toward your career goals. Exposure to the right minds lies at the core of extreme personal development, a theme that I infuse into the GET MOMENTUM Town Hall meetings each month. This ensures that you benefit from being around the right people. By joining the discussion forums and team assignments each month, you will get fired up by your peers and other great achievers to achieve much more.

There is a 10-part video series that is made available immediately to you, with the intended effect of changing how you think about your work, how best to meet your assignments and also what you should outsource or delegate to others.

GET MOMENTUM is designed to make you an achiever, while leaving stress and overwhelm in the past. In keeping with that concept, every aspect of the GET MOMENTUM program is very specific, focusing on a single topic every month without inundating you with a lot of clichés and useless information.

You actually get to bite what you can chew.

There are 2 Ways to Be More Effective in 2014…you ready for this?

  1. Decide specifically want you want to experience in 2014.
  2. Define 1 clear action at a time that moves you closer to where you want to be.

If it is time to hold yourself much, much more accountable to turning your dreams in to achievements, join GET MOMENTUM today.

Winston Churchill said, “The price of greatness is responsibility.”

Ask 3 people you know who have achieved success in life how they did it. What I’ve heard is there was a moment, a point in time when they TOOK responsibility, made a decision, and from from until now, their life changed; and, will continue getting BETTER. Make that decision this weekend and start planning an amazing 2014 for yourself.

Last Monday I emailed you to ask if you’d to take a moment to disconnect and decompress. The prompt I gave you was to think about how great you want to be in 2014.

If you found yourself saying…

  • I want to be great.
  • I want to make 2014 different
  • I want to make 2014 BETTER

Take responsibility, apply to GET MOMENTUM.

How will you respond to the opportunity in front of you right now? The GET MOMENTUM monthly membership program provides you with:

1. A Research Report each month where you learn how to work smarter, think bigger and achieve more.
2. A Town Hall Meeting you attend via your computer and telephone. As a member, you will attend a Professional Development seminar (60-90 minutes long) EVERY month.
3. A “Member Success” profile; I interview one GET MOMENTUM member and ask them to share the things they are doing to make their BEST even BETTER. These ideas and tactics might help you save time, be more productive, and even experience less stress at work and in life.
4. Access to the GET MOMENTUM global community. Every day, members are asking questions, sharing wins, and describing the strategies they are using to work smart, think big and achieve more.
5. Bonus Courses… 2-3 times per year, you’ll get a Bonus Course (valued at $297) designed to explore another topic in the field of the psychology of performance.
(And yes, the Basic GET MOMENTUM membership is just $99 a month; all that for about the price of a daily latte at your favorite coffee shop.
6. If you join as a Premium GET MOMENTUM member, you’ll create your own Individual Development Plan (IDP) and meet with me once per month by phone or video conference.

GET MOMENTUM is a community of GREAT people ready to help you make 2014 your best year yet.

The top 1% - the one you WANT to be a part of!

What does MOMENTUM mean to you?

This week I have a homework assignment for you. It has two parts.

  1. For hours at a time, disconnect & BE PRESENT with your loved ones.
  2. Ask yourself “how GREAT?” you want 2014 to be both personally AND professionally.

This morning, I sent an email to 5,499 readers around the world; between now and December 31st there is room to only accept 54 more people into the January, 2014 GET MOMENTUM class.

That means when you apply, you’re indicating that you’re self-selecting as one of the top 1% of the people who will be offered membership in this program. If you KNOW you have a burning desire to better your best and make 2014 an incredible year, now is the time to apply to GET MOMENTUM. Here’s the link for you! (It will take you less than 5 minutes to apply.)

Upleveling connectivity and accountability

Posted on by

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be connecting one-on-one with many more GET MOMENTUM members. I know that next year will be a BIG one for many of us, and connectivity and accountability is going to make the difference.

How do we do it? I like to use as many “media forms” as possible. During January, 2014, we’ll be using much more SMS (Short Message Service) conversation and to make it a bit easier, please jump over and download this app to your mobile device/tablet computer:

WhatsApp

I’ve been using it for a while now with my private clients to build in accountability and check-in systems, and find it very easy to stay in touch, to “move the line forward, and hold ourselves (and each other) more accountable to the mini-goals we set day to day.

Your 2014 Get Momentum Questions, ANSWERED

Posted on by

Once you’ve got momentum, you’re on your way to a whole new future. When people around you see that you’re dreaming AND doing AND experiencing momentum, they’ll ask you, “How do you DO that?”

Motivation comes from action. Action starts as an idea. The ideas…those are influenced by the people who are around you. THIS is how you build and feed momentum. My question to YOU is: “How are you creating a life of momentum?” Below are the questions you’ve asked me recently…

Q: What if I have a question? Can I email you, Jason?

A: My email address is right here, and I challenge each member of Get Momentum to email me at least once a month. A question, a comment, an idea, please share…

 

Q: Do I have to wait for the beginning of the month to sign up for the Monthly membership?

A: No, you can sign up anytime. Your monthly membership starts the day you sign up and lasts for 31 days. Likewise, the yearly program starts the day you register and goes for 365 days. Get started any time!

Click here to register now.

 

Q: What do people talk about in the private community forum?
A: People post questions and comments about their best practices, great resources they’ve discovered and the success they are achieving. Everyone in Get Momentum shares a common focus on wanting to improve; it’s like attending a Professional Development conference where you get ideas, insight and suggestions…EVERY MONTH!

 

Q: How do I know if this program is going to work for me?
A: If you’re reading this far down the page, you’re more than interested. Join, right now. I personally guarantee that you’ll get $1,000 worth of value in the first month of membership. (And, if you feel you DON’T get that value, email me and I’ll cancel your membership, and refund your monthly dues, no questions asked.)

 

Q: My boss says the company will pay for a portion of my membership. Can you split the charges for me?
A: Yes, we can make it happen. If you have any questions about your membership payments, contact Jodi. This goes for pre-payments, payment by check and any other special circumstances you have.

 

Q: Do you have to be in a certain type of company or position to be in the Get Momentum program?
A: We have a very diverse group of members in Get Momentum. What they do share in common is a personal commitment to continual improvement. These people are self-motivated and driven to make their best even better. (I like to think of them as “my kind of people!”)

 

Q: What is so special about January 2014?
A: Ok, here’s the secret: in January EVERY member of Get Momentum is going to get a “once-a-year” boost. I’m going to guide through special activities that get you set up for your best year yet. If you’re ready, join today. I promise you’ll Get Momentum.

 

Q: I know you do the monthly Town Hall is a webinar, do you ever have in-person events?
A: Ok, two answers to that question, here you go:

  • Mark your calendar for February 7th and 8th. Plan to come to Ojai, CA. Spend 48 hours putting pen to paper, identifying new goals, and building a structure to make the most of the rest of your life.
  • Over the past few months, I’ve gotten emails from GM members who have put together mini-mastermind-meetups in New York City.

 

Q: How much does it cost?
A: Click on the link right here. There are different prices for different levels of membership. Choose the one that’s right for you.

How do you make something that was your BEST, even BETTER?

Posted on by

This time last year I put my best thoughts into a program called Achieve Your Next. I took the most committed people from my community through a 1-month intensive program to help them reach a new level of productivity.

Over 300 people applied to Achieve Your Next. Of those, 33 were accepted. (10% acceptance rate.) Then when we opened the doors to sign up for the program, we sold out of the 10 VIP spots within hours on the very first day.

I learned so much in that one month. Over the course of this last year I decided to magnify the success of the program.

My team and I created Get Momentum to meet this vision. And I can tell you Get Momentum has completely blown my mind.

  • Members have connected with each other from across the globe.
  • They are building accountability groups with each other helping to push their best to be even better
  • Complete strangers have become close friends who make sure they’re all becoming better.

As I write this, I get a little emotional. This whole Get Momentum thing has become much bigger than I had ever imagined with the current group being over 100 members strong and global impacts as a result of their projects and commitment.

2014 is going to even better…

…and I have been racking my brain on how to make it happen.

I have come to the conclusion that the most strategic aspect of the program is personal engagement. It builds consistency, accountability, and action. The BEST success stories came from members who engaged with me, the other Get Momentum members and my team members. These highlights are documented in the monthly Success Stories in the membership area.

Between now and the end of the month, I am opening the Get Momentum doors to 100 new members. These members will be able to “lock in” in the 2013 pricing for as long as they are members and experience what the Achieve Your Next members were able to experience for a fraction of the cost ($99/month compared to $2,000).

If you are ready to become better, apply now.

I look forward to helping you become your best in 2014.

Sincerely,

Jason

Introducing the New Way to Get Momentum

Posted on by

The New Year is right around the corner…

Now is the time to set goals for the things you’d like to accomplish in 2014.

Of course you’re thinking, “Jason, New Year’s resolutions? Really?!?” I know, I know, in years past, you have you lost momentum within weeks of setting your goals.

This year is going to be different.

One year ago this month I launched a program called “Achieve Your NEXT”. This program was a 4-week intensive coaching experience priced at almost $2000 per person. More than 134 people applied, and I limited registration to a select group of 11 people who then worked with me one-on-one to clarify their priorities, learn new systems and set goals to “achieve their next” in life and at work.

The program launch was a complete success, it sold out in less than 36 hours! The comments we got after the program ended made me think, “Maybe we should do this again!”

Well, we have decided that we are not going to re-release the Achieve Your NEXT program this January, but do something even more incredible. Are you ready for this?

This year we are going to do something completely different.

And by different, I mean better.

Over the last 12 months I have learned even more about how people work.

I have studied with physicists at Singularity University, met with psychologists at the University of Zurich, partnered with economists at Rhodes College and Samford University. I have done all this and more to learn what you need to know about the future of work.

I have gained unexpected insights into productivity and workplace performance. And, to top it all off - and why this is important to you - over the past 8 months I have been teaching this information to a larger group of people through our very special Get Momentum Coaching Program.

To stay in momentum takes more than willpower; that only gets you so far. You see, in a way we are hardwired to sabotage ourselves — often, we know what we should do, but can’t seem to hold ourselves accountable to ACTION. The only way to avoid this is to surround ourselves with other people to keep us accountable and focused on what matters.

This is where Get Momentum comes in.

***If you are not a person who wants to increase your productivity by surrounding yourself with awesome people - you can STOP READING - this program is not for YOU.***

[Click Here to Apply]

So what is different this year?

1. The first thing is the Community. We are requiring people to apply to the Special and Enhanced January Edition of Get Momentum. This ensures that you’re surrounded by only the best and most committed people in our community.

I want to make the program more accessible to those who want to join. I understand that $2,000 (that is what members of Achieve Your Next paid last January to join the 4-week intensive coaching program) is a lot of money, and while the participants of the Achieve Your Next confirmed they received a ton of value, I have decided to offer an enhanced membership (which still costs just $99/month) for everyone who joins Get Momentum before January 1st, 2014.

Get Ready for 2014

For about the price of a latte every day, you can learn how to:

Design and LIVE a workflow approach that gives you more time at the end of the day for what’s important to you.

Access to “better” mentors, a community of successful Get Momentum members who willingly share their best practices.

Learn AND practice techniques to not JUST be more productive, but to actually apply time, energy and focus to your Most Important Things.

We are going to accept 100 new members to join Get Momentum between now and January 1st (that equals about 2% of the people that will receive this message).

Please note that the Get Momentum membership fee IS going to increase in 2014. Those who join before January 1st, 2014 will lock in the $99 per month rate, guaranteed. (Rest assured, current Get Momentum members will keep the $99 rate for as long as they are members).

2. Two Extra Town Halls. In January there will 2 more town hall meetings that build on the overall theme of the month. The idea is that you are going to customize a proactive development plan for all of 2014. BONUS Town Halls, to focus on your goals and actually implement them!

3. Weekly Check In with a personal accountability coach. Each week you will have a coach contact you (an email, a text message, a phone call…maybe even something in the mail!) and talk through how you are progressing with your goals. THIS IS MAGICAL. I have never seen lives changed as fast as I have when our accountability coaches start calling you - just having someone help you focus is worth 10 times the investment in the Get Momentum program. I guarantee it.

4. Invitation for the “Productivity Mastermind” in Ojai (dates TBA) - this is a 2 day intensive in Ojai later in the year where you will have the opportunity to work directly with me in Ojai. THIS IS GOING TO BE HUGE.

The details:

Starting Today we are inviting 100 new members to join Get Momentum. If you are interested in joining Get Momentum we encourage you to fill out your application. You will find out within 2 days if you are accepted and will have an opportunity to join immediately.

Only 100 people will be accepted into the Special Edition Get Momentum coaching program, and I am certain that spots are going to go quickly. (I sent this email out to 5,637 people today.)
