Call me crazy, but there are still times at 31 years old were I feel I can change the world.
And today just happens to be one of those days.
Several months ago, we ran a promotion here at Robertson Training Systems to encourage readers to purchase the LiftStrong CD-ROM. This amazing product is over 800 pages of content, but more importantly, every single dime of the reveneus to to supporting cancer research.
In a little under a week, we raised $1,000 for cancer awareness. I’m damn proud of that, but I think we can do even better.
Why I couldn’t sleep last night…
While surfing the Internet last night, I came across an article written about Pierre Garçon, one of my favorite Indianapolis Colts football players. Garçon has many friends and family from the small country of Haiti. As many of you know, the country was recently devastated by a massive earthquake, leaving much of the country in a shambles. And Garçon was left to wonder if his friends and family were alive, with no way of contacting them.
While we often only hear about professional athletes when they’re in the news for all the wrong reasons, it’s great to see a young man such as Garçon use his platform to build awareness for Haiti and to help his country out in its time of need.
So today, I’m going to do my best to put my money where my mouth is.
The Offer
I often get inquiries about people who would like to do online training with me. However, they simply don’t have the funds to do it for one reason or another. While I would love to train every single person imaginable, it’s just not feasible for me any more. I’m running two businesses, have a beautiful wife and I enjoy spending time with, as well as many friends to boot.
I only have so many hours in the day, and therefore must put certain restrictions on my time. This is why you’ll notice that my online training rate has gone up consistently over the years.
However, through Monday at midnight, I’m cutting my online training program fees in half!
Taking it a step further, I’m going to take each and every dollar I receive from new online clients and donate that money to Pierre Garçon’s Haiti relief fund.
Quite simply, if I can do anything to make a difference, I’m going to.
Now I’m really putting myself out there on this one. I have no clue if anyone is even going to take me up on this offer. But if you’ve ever considered working with me in an online fashion before, you’re never going to see a deal like this one again.
Along those same lines, you’ll have the additional understanding that your money is going to help support a great cause. I’m not keeping any of this money for myself, so it’s just one small way I can hopefully make a difference.
I really feel like this is a win-win-win proposition for everyone involved.
The people of Haiti get money they can use to help rebuild their country.
You get to work me for literally half the price you would normally pay.
And I get the satisfaction of knowing I did something good that helped people out in their time of need.
Remember, this deal is only going to last through midnight on Monday. As well, I’m limiting it to the first FIVE people who contact me. Like I said up front I’d love to work with everyone, but there are only so many hours in the day and I’m already spread thin!
Finally, I know that times are tough economically for many of us. With that being said, however, you can still make a difference even if you don’t want to work with me. If this is something you’re passionate about take just a minute or two out of your day and do one (or all!) of the following:
- Forward this link to your friends.
- Re-tweet it on Twitter.
- Post a link to my page on Facebook.
Anything we can do to spread the word and help inform people about what’s going on can help make a difference.
As always, thank you so much for all your support over the years. I appreciate everything you’ve done for me, and hopefully our collective efforts will help make a difference to the people who have suffered so much in Haiti.
All the best
Mike
