“Two People. Same job. Same everything. Hired at $75,000 per year. Less than three years later, one is earning $81,500 while the other is getting $103,000!

Which one will YOU be?”

FROM THE DESK OF:
Professor Linda M. Lopeke

Dear potential fast tracker,

Do you know anyone who does NOT want to make the most money possible from working at his or her current job? Or anyone who received a promotion and said to the boss “Thanks for all the new responsibilities and the longer hours – there’s no need to increase my pay because I’m making enough money already!” 

I sure don’t! And I’ll bet it’s the same for you.

Unless you are very wealthy or extremely good at winning lotteries, you can expect to be working for 40 years of your life or more. And while not everyone has what it takes to become a top executive, YOU do have complete control over how much you earn in your career lifetime and how far you go in your chosen field.

But only if you know what you are doing and are strategic about it.

You have to work SMARTER, not HARDER.

Otherwise you’ll just be gambling your way through all the hidden minefields that await you at the office. Hoping like mad you don’t make any fatal career-killing mistakes while you try to get from Point A to your desired destination.

Even more important, you have to know the truth about how companies really work.

Not how companies say they work.
Not how you were taught at school they work.
Not how you think they work.
How they REALLY work.

I can help you with that.

Give me 5 minutes and I’ll show you how you can turn your college degree or new job into a career worth hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of your professional lifetime. Guaranteed.

My name is Linda Lopeke. And I am a recognized leading expert in what it takes to succeed in the Fortune 500. Fast. And with less wasted effort.

It’s my privilege to mentor some of the best and brightest students attending the world’s top business schools. Every day I help people just like you who want to know how to get the most out of their corporate jobs or simply how to best pursue entrepreneurial dreams.

My own career has been everything I wanted and then some. I was lucky to have great mentors to guide my way. Every successful person will tell you how critical having a good mentor is to your career!

YOU can crack the corporate success code!

And I can show you exactly what you need to know and do (and especially what NOT to do).

You might be very tempted to believe successful people with great careers are just lucky. Let me tell you right now there is no such thing as luck.

There is only preparation meeting opportunity.

Which brings me to a very important question for you…

What are YOU doing right now to guarantee you get the quickest return having spent a lot of time and money on your higher education? And, if you’ve already started working, what are YOU doing right now to get noticed, rewarded, and get moving ahead with making better money in exchange for your time and effort on behalf of your employer?

Do you plan to be working harder than anyone else? Spending long hours at the office? Praying you’ll get noticed and be offered that big break? Hmmm?

I don’t want to scare you but a lot of people are willing to work hard. Harder than anyone else. Maybe even harder than YOU! I believe in working hard myself when I’m going after something I really want.

But do you know this critical fact (confirmed by a study at Yale)?

Only 3% of the people who are working hard ever experience success.

Shocking isn’t it? Only 3%!  

And I bet you there are a lot of hardworking folks in that other 97% too.

What I want to do is pass along a very important message. One that can make a whole world of positive difference in your life.

With the right mentor, you can turbo-charge your career and leave friends and co-workers behind while you take home much bigger pay and snag rapid promotions!

If you want to have a competitive advantage not available from any other source, read on to learn more about my award-winning SmartStart Virtual Mentoring Program.

(Your employer will certainly NEVER tell you these things and you will not learn them in ANY business school no matter how much you pay in tuition.)

Succeeding in business isn’t about who YOU know, it is about who knows YOU. And as I’ve already said it’s NOT about working HARDER, it is about working SMARTER.

So, if YOU only knew HOW to do that…

• How much more would YOU be able to achieve?
   

• How much faster would YOU be able to reap the rewards of reaching YOUR personal and professional goals?
   

• How much further would YOU travel on the road to success and how much more would YOU enjoy your life, your work, your rewards, and all the personal growth, professional recognition, and lifestyle freedom that comes along the way?

The SmartStart Virtual Mentoring Program offers you all the support you need to achieve anything you want professionally for less than $1 a day (actually it’s just a bit more than 50 cents a day if you choose the lowest cost payment option)! And you don’t need to spend more than an hour a month on the program to obtain its benefits (unless you want to)!

Even if you didn't have a chance to go to college or business school, you can still earn way more and go further than all of your co-workers who did.

How do I know this? Because I have done it myself. And so have many of my students and program members. And I know how to make it happen for you, no ifs, ands, or buts. Don’t take my word for it! You can read what my students and program members have to say about the mentoring program in a minute.

I’m proud to tell you my students and program members represent some of the finest business schools in the world. For example, the Queen’s, Schulich and Richard Ivey Schools of Business in Canada, the London School of Economics in England, the Sorbonne in France, and the Columbia Business School and other Ivy League institutions in the United States. (I can’t name all the schools here or this letter would just get too long… but I’m sure you get the idea!)

Of course there are many successful people who NEVER went to college. Some people prefer to take extra courses to get ahead on the job. And several have made huge investments of time and money in higher education.

Many have even studied at the best business schools in the world to earn an MBA degree.

Sure, MBA grads get hired. And their starting salary is usually higher. But after that they face the same on-the-job challenges as anybody else. And so will you.

Having an MBA degree is great but it’s no guarantee of anything —except maybe having big debts from all the school loans that have to be paid off once you start working. More importantly, NOT having an MBA (or a college degree or other professional designation) DOES NOT MEAN you can’t have an absolutely amazing career.

Once you get hired, and know what to do next and exactly how to do it, and do it with the right mindset, there is absolutely nothing that can hold you back!

It’s true! Once you snag that all-important first job, all bets are off! Everything that happens to you from your first day at work depends more on how well you play the game than on where or even how long you went to school. Or how many letters follow your name. The only degree that counts is proving you have the GSD (gets stuff done)!

You know, I started my mentoring program in 2005 after being inspired by the students I was speaking to at the Queen’s School of Business. We tested it for two years working with some of the brightest students attending the world’s top 50 business schools and folks who are already working in the Fortune 500 who wanted to be seen as having high potential as emerging leaders.

And I’m proud to say our innovative, award-winning program has been unbelievably successful! Our members have consistently advanced their career success up to 3x faster than average (as measured in higher earnings and faster rewards and promotions).

When you join the SmartStart Virtual Mentoring Program you learn exactly what you need to do, how to do it, and I coach you through every step of the way. You’ll learn how to quickly create your own career success story inside any company or organization. You’ll get results faster. And with less effort. Or you get all of your money back. Guaranteed.

But don’t take my word for it. Here’s what some of the students and members want you to know about this amazing program.

Here’s an excerpt from another letter (this one’s a program referral):

And here are a couple more ASI member comments for good measure.

Can you tell if they are from a man or woman? A young person or someone older? A college student or seasoned Fortune 500 employee? Well, it doesn’t really matter because the benefits gained from my virtual mentoring programs are genderless, ageless and, more importantly, timeless.

Although the program has been more work for me than I could ever have imagined, they send me notes like this that make it all worthwhile... here’s an extra special one I received a few weeks ago from a young male in the program:

Ok, now I’m getting all misty eyed.

Let's cut to the chase. Here are 5 really good reasons to join my current members in the SmartStart Virtual Mentoring Program:

If you’ve read this far, I trust you are as excited to learn more as I am to tell you about the SmartStart program and how it works.

Introducing the SmartStart Virtual Mentoring Program!

 

The SmartStart Virtual Mentoring Program isn’t like any other career success program out there. But before I tell you more about it first, let's be clear on why you cannot go wrong if you choose to work with me...

First off, I’m not going to tell you to choose me as your mentor because I know it all. Nobody knows it all. Your mentor should be more experienced than you are. And certainly I am. In fact, I have a lot of wisdom I can share with you that only experience can provide.

There are a lot of great mentors out there who can serve as your coach. Many of them are very good. In fact, some of them are even teaching me still (did I mention my lifelong commitment to excellence through education?)

However, what sets me apart from the rest is…

I don’t just teach success.
I don’t just cover theory.
I don’t do the “one-size-fits-all solution”.

That’s what makes me so valuable to my clients. And, that’s what makes my new SmartStart program a fantastic resource for you!

SmartStart is top quality all the way and set up to guide your success in many different and innovative ways. The mentoring program is delivered over the internet and via email – no traveling required – work with me from the comfort of your own home.

Here’s what you get as a member of the program:

	Weekly audio coaching files sent by email. Listen to the advice while I tell you the unspoken truth about getting ahead in business. Then you can print out the transcript to build your personal collection of the secrert rules nobody else will tell you.
Our newsletter is sent out by email twice a month right around payday (on the 15th & 30th of the month). In it you'll find easy-to-use strategies for working in the real world and all the latest and greatest information you need to succeed.
This is our monthly email bulletin on success tools for superior self-motivation and dynamic results.	And this is our other monthly email bulletin on success tips for powerful personal marketing.
	Our quarterly Best Practice bulletin features my proven golden rules for the ultimate in personal productivity and effectiveness. This bulletin is sent out by email in January, April, July, and October.
You'll have a VIP All-Access Pass to the monthly MBA Master Classes in my Fortune 500 Intelligence course held for the ASI Insiders. You'll hear everything they are learning, without the homework!	You'll also have your own opportunity to join in the monthly Coach-on-Call sessions. This is a great chance to get your questions answered and talk to me live in an open conference call.

Now let’s look at 10 ways YOU benefit from becoming a member of SmartStart.

The SmartStart program is easily accessible.

 

You have convenient access to all these channels of information made available to you. You can participate from anywhere in the world! All you need is an email address and access to the internet or a telephone.

This program works for both students and employees. The material covered serves the self-employed and closet entrepreneurs well too.

The SmartStart program not only helps you do better, it helps you be better.

The SmartStart Virtual Mentoring Program is not just about how to manage your career or how to have it all at work. Or get ahead. Or be wildly successful.

It’s a comprehensive approach that opens your mind to endless possibilities. While preventing you from making mistakes you can only recover from by changing jobs and/or employers. And a lot of what you’ll be taught can be used daily at home as well as at the office which enhances your personal life along with your professional one.

The SmartStart program is easily affordable. And don't forget about the no-hassle money back guarantee!

 

A seat in the SmartStart program costs less than ordering in one all-dressed pizza per month! And if you choose the lowest-cost payment option, you’ll be spending just a bit more than 50 cents a day to earn thousands of dollars more in income every year for the rest of your working life!

You might not even have to pay for the program yourself. Many employers reimburse training expenses. Plus, you’ll get bonus points from them for showing initiative with respect to self-development.

And if you are a college student, you probably have a lot of family members, relatives and friends who are always wondering what gift to buy you for your birthday, holidays, graduation and so on. This could be the most important gift they’ll ever get for you! Tell them about it and see if they’ll cover the cost of your membership subscription.
 

The SmartStart mentoring program takes away the mystery and turns it into mastery.

You won’t be in the land of the dazed and confused where many of your coworkers are. The advice provided is not theoretical; it's tried-and-true, proven in my own professional consulting practice and long career to stand the test of time.

Now don’t be thinking I did everything right along my own path. Nothing could be further from the truth! I had people who cared about my success enough to ream me out when I was screwing up and getting off track. I’ve made my share of mistakes. And, I share these with my students too. There’s always a lot of learning there.

I never pretend to know something I don’t. With clients or students. But when I don’t know the answer, I make it a priority to find out. And I get my information from some of the best and most reliable sources on the planet. (You can just imagine the size of my network after 40 years of working!)

There are plenty of things I am not good at. I’m very up front about those. Mentoring just doesn’t happen to be on that list.

The SmartStart program is comprehensive, not a one-shot kind of deal.

 

Is there a lot to learn? You bet! That’s why I’m not promising I can help you in just one or two power sessions. It’s a longer term commitment than that. You control how long you want to stay in the program, if you join (but I can tell you, as of this writing, no one who joined the program since it first started has ever left (isn’t that amazing?) which is why I have to keep expanding it to accommodate more people).

The SmartStart program is not complicated.

 

I don’t talk mumbo jumbo. I teach common sense. Which, by the way, is not all that common as it turns out. I share my expertise in corporate social intelligence so you will have a complete understanding of what’s really going on at work and what to do about it.

You’ll have a lot of “aha” moments. The lights will go on. You might even be wondering why YOU didn’t think of that. But when someone else puts all the pieces together for you and explains (honestly) what’s really going on, you see it all more clearly and understand it better too. Then you’ll know what’s right for you and you can do it with confidence.

 

The SmartStart program showcases you as one-of-a-kind!

 

The SmartStart Virtual Mentoring Program is full of off-the-wall tips, unusual approaches, and psychological insights as well.

You don’t lead as many people as I have without figuring out the importance of creativity. Being able to win friends and influence people takes a lot of practice. But again, I know from firsthand experience my methods work—and they tend to work better than a lot of the mainstream advice you might get from others.

The SmartStart program is practical.

 

If nothing else, our SmartStart program is more practical than theoretical. But don’t worry. I’m well educated in a boatload of conceptual theory and management practices. And, to your benefit, I know exactly how and when to apply this knowledge in the Fortune 500. (Don’t forget, I’ve devoted my entire lifetime to this.)

 

The SmartStart program is about how to live as much as it is about how to work.

 

I teach you there are only 3 things you ever need to concern yourself with in life. Things you should start doing. Things you should stop doing. Things you should continue doing.

At work. At home. Anywhere. It all comes down to that. It really is simple. But elegant at the same time.

And there are only 3 questions you ever have to ask yourself to confirm you are on the right path to success. The productive path to success. But to find out what they are, you’ll have to join the program.

But I’m not just teaching success. I’m teaching you how to speed it up for yourself in a specific environment. Nobody else does that.

Why take the long road? Join us on the fast track! You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain. We’re having a lot of fun. The students are jazzed. (You did read their letters I showed you earlier didn’t you?)

SmartStart is about effective and strategic positioning.

 

The SmartStart Virtual Mentoring Program does not guarantee you’ll go from a low starting salary today to six figures by Sunday. That would be ridiculous.

SmartStart helps you strategically position yourself more effectively so you can earn as much as is possible in any company or environment you choose to work in no matter what level you are starting at right now. And it teaches you how to do it more efficiently and how to do it consistently and predictably well. When you’re constantly adding value, the company simply can’t afford to lose you. They have too much invested. And they will generally go out of their way to make sure you are kept happy and challenged.

 

Here's my bottom-line promise...

I promise to teach you everything you need to know to be put into the “exception” category.

 

(You, of course, then have to act on my advice at the right time, on a regular basis.)

Success does not happen by accident.
Don’t be a dreamer. Be a doer!

 

There’s no question. You can learn from a lot of people. I’m offering you a chance to join my SmartStart program and learn from me and the rest of our amazing members.

Let me make this one thing clear. I don’t work for free. Neither should you.

It took me years of hard work and study to learn what I know. My Fortune 500 clients pay a lot of money to have me work with their employees on site. Much more than I can realistically charge you. I know that. But it wasn’t about the money for me. So that’s why I created an affordable program just for you. And I let you choose your own price… whatever works best for your budget is fine with me.

Here’s the pricing info.

 

At $29.95 per month (or $299.50 annually), your membership in the SmartStart Virtual Mentoring Program still costs less than a dollar a day. If you act now, as in right now, you can probably snag a charter membership for less than half that!

Because a charter membership (if there are still seats left) costs just $197.00 (when you pay for it in 1 lump sum)! Less than a small cup of coffee per day!

FAIR WARNING: The number of charter seats in the program is limited and these special lowest-cost seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis. When they are gone, they’re gone!

And don’t forget what I said about the guarantee. If you join the program, participate, and aren’t satisfied, you can ask for a no-hassle refund at any time. Period.

Join the SmartStart program now before all the charter membership seats are claimed!

Now this is the point where a lot of people offer bribes for you to sign up. I don’t. You’re in or you’re out. I’d love to have you in the program. But you decide.

P.S. Still not convinced my SmartStart Mentoring Program is going to help you? Then please take a minute to read these comments I received from past students who have participated in my programs and used my advice with great success:

P.P.S. All our program members and their schools are allowed to share 50/50 in the sales of SmartStart (after processing fees). This means if you set up an affiliate account, tell your friends and family about it, and your efforts result in 3 program seat sales, you will have earned back your own investment and will have extra spending money left over! It literally pays to spread the word about SmartStart Virtual Mentoring Program.
