LEAP subscriber Gareth has been pretty busy since he signed up.
For the first month I wasn’t sure he was really getting it, and he wasn’t really asking many questions either.
But the last few weeks he’s been sending me smart questions and updates on his progress, and dude… he’s going great guns.
So I said: “Oh yeah? What about a little testimonial then, matey?”
Sends me this:

I was hesitant to do the Leap course. Part of me believed that I could do all this online business stuff by myself. And although theoretically true, in practice that wasn’t happening – even though I am a passionate artist and want to turn my passion into a full-time business!
What surprised me about Martin’s newsletter is how it leads to things getting done, you look back and realize how much you have done. And the fundamental changes in your perspective on selling.
The best thing, though, is the chance to ask Martin questions. This has been so helpful. It’s [almost, Ed.] like having a mentor and personally I believe you really need one.
I can’t believe that I am now enjoying the business side, enjoying writing newsletters to my list which is beginning to slowly increase in number, enjoying the connection with people who like my work and enjoying getting all those practical things done which make it possible to sell your work online.
I have now received my third newsletter and am looking forward to number four.

Ha. Remember how a few weeks ago I was waxing enamouredly about how I had suddenly discovered art, how I had turned?
Gareth turned, and not in any small way.
No ‘maybe I’ll put up an optin form’ – instead, it’s action and results, bam bam bam.
And dig it: he even enjoys the business side of being an artist now.
My Stellar instinct is tingling, telling me that he never in his life thought that was going to happen.
He’s enjoying the stepping out, the expositions he’s putting up, talking to people, doing the practical things to make it all happen…
In other words: Gareth got over himself and went from being a (severely good !) painter, to a being (budding) professional.
Shows in his sales too: four new watercolours sold, if I’m correct. And no, not at $75 each.
On top of that he’s initiated a collaborative project with other artists, to create a very useful ebook.
And to make it even more fun, he just sent me an email with some seriously good ideas for spyhole products, plus he’s thinking on how to sell them for more cashflow.
The spyhole product being, if you don’t remember, what I explain in the Spyhole Salesman’s Business Secret Cheat Sheet that comes free when you subscribe to LEAP.
It’s a way to create a product that you can at any time promote in order to get more cash in, or which you can use to create a foundation of cashflow for your business.
So yeah: this stuff works. My man G sez so.
Want to be a professional too, and earn like one?
