“Don’t look where you fall, but where you slipped”
~African Proverb
Saturday night…
I’m sitting in one of my favorite clubs in the country. It’s called “Float”. It’s the 4th floor roof deck of the Hard Rock Cafe in San Diego. It’s 72 degrees (Of course it is), the DJ has God-Like musical taste, the Mojito cocktail mint leafs are the perfect combination of sweet and tart…
…and the staff is one human example after another that has won the genetic lottery.
And what am I doing?
I’m teaching.
Gathered around one of the club’s signature gas fire pits is a small group of 12. They’re attendees’ of a Real-Estate seminar that was being held over the weekend, and I was invited to visit for the festivities.
And make no mistake, I am being ferociously festive. Yes Yes.
However, one of the witnesses to my well-lubricated pontifications simply could NOT resist asking “the Question”.
“Andy, if you had to start all over again, what would you do?”
Once in a while, the cosmic tumblers of “timing” all click into place and provide you with an insanely great “moment”.
This was one of those times…
The music stopped (Song change), and all of the fire-pits went out (Temporary glitch), except the one I was standing at.
The silence cleared the way for my answer, which I hadn’t realized I’d give until that-exquisite-moment…
“Brother – I AM starting over”
The purpose of this email is 2 sided:
1 – To tell you about a free report that I unintentionally created called “The DO-OVER”.
2 – To tell you how to get my Make Money with Video Marketing course for free.
It’s called “Video Boss”
It’s pronounced “Video BAWSS”.
You will learn exactly how to create online video – from blank script to blazing screen – and use it to create mini-fortunes of traffic, subscribers, and customers.
You’ll do it “Like a BAWSS”.
And you can get it for ZERO, if you decide to sign up for Eben Pagan’s “IGNITION” program.
(NOTE: The rules of affiliate disclosure as specified by the FTC do not actually take effect until December 1st. So, when I’ve been telling you about my affiliate relationships for the last few months, I’ve been doing it because I think you’re cool and actually enjoy transparency and knowing what’s what.)
Here’s the (Non-Faustian) bargain:
A) I am an affiliate of Eben Pagan. I 100% endorse this product for Entraprenurial-Hearted (Yes, I said “Hearted”, not “Minded”) people that want “Start-From-Scratch” instructions and coaching.
B) I am JAZZED to give people full access to VIDEO BOSS who take Eben’s IGNITION course – because it is my sincere belief that Video Marketing is an ESSENTIAL skill and should be part of the IGNITION Package.
C) I TAUGHT part of the IGNITION course. Eben asked me to be an Ignition Faculty member and create 2 modules on Search Engine Optimization. So, by endorsing Eben Pagan, I am also implicitly endorsing myself – which makes much more sense after Mojito #4.
D) When you purchase IGNITION via my affiliate tracking link, you will get access to Video Boss when it is released (Tentatively scheduled for late January 2010). No, you cannot access it sooner – I made a promise to Eben that I would not distrubt the carefully scheduled instruction of IGNITION by distracting clients with Video Boss content.
E) Even IF you don’t remain a member of IGNITION, or decide that IGNITION is not for you after you purchase it, you can still have access to Video Boss. This is, of course, on the honor system – so please don’t abuse the offer or I will throw myself into a working fire-pit.
Use this link to register for IGNITION: (It becomes available today at 3pm EASTERN Time)

The “Do-Over” Report:
I’m toying with this headline for it:
“After 9 years online, Andy Jenkins decided to sell his 8-Figure/yr. business, move to the beach, learn to surf, and start ALL over. This is what he’s doing differently
(And how it’s working 375% better than before)”
Still needs work – but you get the idea.
Here’s the deal on that:
During my “Rant at the [Hard] Rock”, a witness had the presence of mind to flip on the “record audio” app on their iPhone. They recorded it all, and sent it to me.
There’s some AWESOME nuggets in that recording, so I’m having it transcribed and using it as the basis of the report. I would guess that it would be ready just in time for Thanksgiving.
Imagine that.
You will get the report for free, because you are you. And at some point, you decided to read what I have to say, and that means the world to me.
Hope that’s cool with you.
One more time for the speed readers : To get Ignition AND Video Boss (From me as a bonus) – just click this link (or copy and paste it into your browser)

Take care of yourself and each other,

Andy, I hope you’ll be offering Video BOSS as a standalone product. We love Eben and all, it’s just we may not need so much of an Ignition as a Boost…
Dave, for sure I am. Not to worry if you don’t need Ignition – Video Boss will be avail on it’s own.
Yay! happy dance
Hey Andy.
I’m really looking forward to Video Boss and would also like to promote it as an affiliate. Would you mind getting in touch with me about that?
Cheers!

Hi Andy,
I thought …… Dude its time to make a comment, give a kind of nod to acknowledge your over all coolness, and a big hug (In a drunk “man hug” way)
I have fond memories of float, was last there in April at some weird event run by a homeless looking bum surfer dude and 500 people wearing police hats and mustaches. It was the evening that I discovered Patrone is perfect mixed with lime juice and tripplesec.
What is it about that place ……..The only clear memories I have are of tripping over you (sorry) on my way to my own fire pit. (I’ve never washed that shoe again)
Anyway ….. God worship aside. I’d like to say I’ve loved your misfitted approach to the crazy internet world. Video rocks, I love your story telling techniques, and its nice to see someone that brings a cross between “Zach Staenberg” and “Sam Raimi”to an otherwise 2D landscape.
Anyway … Regardless of what everyone says here, you connect with me Andy, I identify with your rants, and I appreciate where you are coming from. Sometimes the best way to go is the way where no-one else tells you what to do or how to do it.
Keep the posts coming…….
Will Video Boss be a course, and a product, or some sort of a combo of them all?
I take it that Video Boss will highlight the skillz you love the most…. Visual
Looking forward to it Andy!
Hey Andy its really great to hear from you. As you s might have observed that i am a visually challenged and i told this in my previous comments too. currently i am volunteering a NGO here in India and trying to teach the internet marketing skills to Visually challenged, Hearing impaired, Mental illness etc people
i want your support for this really to happen. i am doing this only because only of you and stompernet. i think i am the only VI who knows so much about online marketing and all the know ledge came from you and stompernet.
i think your video boss may help as i am thinking to take my sudents over the web and brand them so that they can earn some decent income instead of doing nothing.
plz don’t keep picture capturer which is not accessable to screen readers.
Hey Andy,
Can you please define what you mean by “Entraprenurial-Hearted” real quick?
Billy.
