The 17th Howard Partridge Round Table will be held Thursday May 13th through Saturday May 15th at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Optional Tour on May 12th .
Mofongo
On a recent trip to the islands, I discovered something that is critical to the success of every business owner and professional. Let’s see if you agree…
When it comes right down to it, the only reason your business or career exists is to get more of the things you want in life. At the least, to put food on the table and to spend more time with those you love. And maybe you have a few dreams in life. But if you are like most business owners and professionals, you probably feel like you aren’t as far along as you could be, you aren’t moving as fast as you want, and time is slipping away. How can you fix that? I’ll tell you how.
Good to Great
Think back to a year ago, two years ago, or even five years ago. Is your business significantly different? Have you made a lot of progress in your lifestyle? Sure, you probably have a good business, and you may have most of what you want in life, but deep down, you want a great business, and a great life, not just a good one. Now, I can’t promise you a great life, but I do know is this…
The Power of Dreams
Do you remember why you went into business for yourself? Do you remember why you took the career you have? Was it to make a lot of money? Are you making a lot of money? Or was it to be your own boss, to chart your own course, and to have a little more “free time”? Time to spend with the family, time for your hobbies, and time to pursue your dreams in life. But if you are like most small business owners and professionals, you got a 24hr/7-day-a-week “J-O-B” instead! You need to activate the Power of Dreams. What is the power of dreams? I’ll tell you.
Culebra
Walking down the beach in the Spanish Virgin Islands, I thought to myself “THIS is what it’s all about! THIS!” For me, being able to wake up in the tropics every day and walk the beach. That’s my dream. Keeping that dream alive in my mind is what causes me to crawl across broken glass and do the things needed to make that a reality. Now, here’s the most important part…
Freedom
Don’t get me wrong, if I lived on an island and didn’t have a positive impact on other people, I’d be miserable. I’m already living that dream. If I can do both, I will be the “happiest man alive”! So, the point is that you went into business for yourself because at one point and time, you had a dream. It doesn’t matter whether the dream was big 0r small. It may not be the beach. It could be something very different for you, but my guess is that deep down, you have dreams. You want to experience a sense of freedom – a sense of purpose. And maybe right now, it’s as simple as this…
Debt- Free
Maybe your dream right now is to easily make payroll, to have more savings, or to be debt-free. Whatever it is, the key is to dream! Keep that dream alive. Keep it in front of you every day. What does that have to do with the upcoming Howard Partridge Round Table? I’ll tell you.
Traction
The bottom line is that to move from where you are now to where you want to be, you need three things. One, you probably need more money. Two, you probably want more time to do the things you love. Three, you need some motivation to get off the block. In fact, if you are like most small business owners and professionals, you work too long, for too little! Agreed? If you make a lot of money, you are probably putting in way too many hours, but those who have learned the secret, are working LESS and making MORE…
Money, Money, Money
Money. I admit it. I feel a little uncomfortable just saying it. Why? Because money can’t buy you the things that are really important. My friend, legendary motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar says “money will buy you a house, but it won’t buy you a home. It’ll buy you a bed, but not a good night sleep”. That said, you probably do need a little more money. Here’s why…
Performance
Your business or career is the vehicle you have chosen to achieve your life goals. To reach your dreams in life. Improving the performance of that vehicle means that it can take you places you haven’t been before. Maintaining that vehicle properly will keep it running smoothly for a long time. By working “on” your business or career instead of working “in” it, you will be able to improve the performance, therefore making MORE money with LESS effort. How does that work?
The E-Myth
Michael Gerber, bestselling author of the The E-Myth Revisited, rocked the small business world by coining the term working “on” the business instead of “in” it. By working on the business, instead of just in it all the time, you can make more money, and get it running smoothly so that you can pursue the things you want in life, therefore having the time to do the things you love.
Mofongo
In the islands I discovered a staple dish called “Mofongo”. Mashed plantains (those big tropical banana looking things) with garlic somehow sounded really good with grilled meat. I loved it! Although it is the most “ordinary” of things to folks there, it represents something all together different for me…
What is your Mofongo?
Mofongo represents my dream. The blue ocean and white-sand beaches represent my dream. Recalling the taste of Mofongo, feeling the gin-clear water and the warm sun on my skin keeps me inspired. It keeps me energized to take my businesses to the next level so that I can experience more of that. What about you? What is your mofongo? What symbolizes your dream?
How to get the encouragement, support and accountability you need to take your business or career to the next level.
With my latest offer, you will be able to attend the most empowering event I have ever put on. In addition to the thousands of presentations, workshops, and seminars I have put on, this one will be the one to be at. After 16 “best-ever” Round Table events, can Howard “do it again”? The answer is a confident YES! Here’s “proof”.
Can Howard pull off another “best-ever” Round Table event?
I have been told by many Round Table attendees “I don’t know how you did it Howard. I thought you could never outdo the last event, but you did”. The reason I can pull it off again and again is actually very simple. Every week that goes by, I coach small business owners and professionals, I run 3 companies, I consult, I present and I stay on the cutting edge of what’s happening in the world of small business today. And I am making all of this knowledge available to you before you even arrive at the event…
Here’s what you get access to when you register for this event…
When you register for the 17th Howard Partridge Round Table (that will be held May 13th – 15th in Houston), you also get access to my coveted Inner Circle all the way up until the event. You get immediate access to the member-only website where you can download my proven business system that can dramatically improve any kind of business, no matter how large or how small, and no matter if you are in a small town or large city. These are systems that you can put to work in your business or career right now. Don’t let your dream slip away. Act now. But that’s not all. Not by a long-shot…
How would you like to have someone who has already done what you want to do to answer every pressing, keeping-you-up-at-night question at your beck-and-call 24 hours a day?
As an Inner Circle member (don’t worry, you won’t have to make a 12 month commitment), you can e-mail me with ANY question about your business. I will apply my 25+ years of running my own businesses, coaching thousands of small business owners just like you, and share the “meat-and-potatoes” of exactly what you need to move to the next level. You simply e-mail me and I respond. How do you know that I will respond? And what could we possibly cover by e-mail, and why is this a really big deal?
Mistakes
My experience tells me that you have made a few costly mistakes in your career. Everyone has. The ad that bombed, the missed opportunity and just trying to keep everything organized. I have made all the mistakes. But I have been blessed with many successes too. Most importantly, I have helped countless people just like you take their business to the next level. By staying in contact with me, I can help you see the mistakes you are about to make, offer advice, and give you ideas. Avoiding costly mistakes, implementing money-making strategies, and getting yourself organized puts you in a position to make more money while working less. Although this is really big, it’s just one piece of the pie. What else do you get?
Inspiration to Implementation
As an Inner Circle member and by attending the 17th Howard Partridge Round Table, you will be with like-minded people that will keep you encouraged, that will support you and if you like, even keep you accountable. Through the live member-only webinars that I present, and our accountability groups that meet over the phone, you have all of us supporting you. In my 25 years of owning 7 small businesses, successfully purchasing businesses and even selling businesses, I have come to realize that there is one factor that determines whether a business owner or professional is successful or not. What is it? I’ll tell you.
The one difference between highly successful business owners and those who struggle…
Have you ever noticed that people who are expanding their businesses are excited? They’re on fire! Is it because of their success, or is their success a result of their excitement? The reason that most small business owners and professionals are not more successful is because of what I call F.T.I. (failure to implement). You know what to do, you just don’t do it. Those who implement are those that are inspired. Inspiration to implementation. Why are they inspired? Because they see the possibilities. They haven’t given in to “stinkin thinkin”. They focus on the solution rather than the problem. At Round Table and Inner Circle, we help you keep that fire and that focus so that you can implement the things you need to implement to realize your dreams in life. So, what exactly happens after you register and what about the event?
The event
The Howard Partridge Round Table is a 3 day seminar experience that features multiple speakers including myself, one or more of the world’s top business trainers, and my most successful members. It is held in Houston. I know Houston isn’t the most exotic place in the world, but my cleaning firm is located in Houston and carpet cleaners who travel from around the world like to come and see how we have put it all together.
Houston, we have a problem
Also, once you “learn the ropes”, it’s not so bad. After arriving at one of Houston’s two airports, it’s about a 45 minute drive. Hire a cab, get on a shuttle, or rent a car if you want to see NASA, Galveston, or go to a show or ballgame. And if you are in the cleaning business and want to take a tour of my company, I’ll share how you can do that in a moment. If you are not in the cleaning business, you want to take advantage of this first ever offer:
The first day
The first day kicks off at 8:00 am and is jammed-packed with some of my most potent strategies. I will take you on a ride that will help you solve some of the biggest challenges you face in your business: Like not being able to charge enough, not getting enough referrals, paying too much for advertising that doesn’t work, not being organized, and not being able to get your employees to do what you want. You can attend the first day for only 97 bucks. Of course this does not include Inner Circle membership, the company tour or the cool stuff that happens the following two days. But it does include networking with some of my most successful members and other folks that you will love meeting. Here’s the “meat and potatoes” for the first day…
How to Break-Free from Your Every Day Business or Practice and Transform It Into a Predictable, Profitable, Turn-Key Operation!
My Story… How I Went from a Welfare-Throw-Away-Kid to Living the “American Dream”
I grew up poor. I like to jokingly say that I am from L.A. Lower Alabama! With 7 kids crammed into a 600 square foot shack, with a roof that leaked so bad we had to get out all the pots and pans, we somehow lived on a hundred dollars a month from the welfare department. I clearly remember getting Christmas presents from the social workers. At age 18 I got kicked out of the house for good reason – for being a wild teenager. I got on a Greyhound bus and went to Houston to be with my dad who I had met only twice in my life. I literally had 25 cents in my pocket. The rest of the story at the event.
How I Built My Company from the Trunk of My Car to Over $2.8 Million Per Year – and at an average of 62 cents per square foot for carpet cleaning.
If you aren’t in the carpet cleaning industry, my pricing may not mean much to you. If you are then you know it is among the highest in the nation. At this event, you will learn how to get a higher price for your service, why it is important and you will meet others who have done the same.
How to Be So Organized that You Can Operate an Office On Wheels! This is the same system I use today!
In a recent survey, not being organized was among the top 4 challenges (out of 12 listed) for small business owners and professionals. You are on the go, you have lots of “plates” spinning. How do you keep it all together and keep your projects moving forward? You’ll find out. Those who know me seem impressed with my output. “I don’t know how you do it” they say. Well, you will find out. All of us have exactly the same amount of time and limited energy. The more you get done, the more results you get. The more results you get, the more money you should make.
7 Steps to Phenomenal Personal Success – The more successful you are as a person, the more successful your business can be. Find out what is holding YOU back!
When I first started my business, I didn’t want to know about psychology, human behavior and why people do the weird things they do. But I came to realize that understanding human behavior gives you a humongous advantage in the business world. If I understand my customer, they buy more. If I understand my employees, they produce more. And if I understand myself – why I do the things I do, I can change. In this session I will share 7 simple, but powerful steps that you can use to increase your production. When you increase your production (implementation), you increase your results.
How to Transform Your Everyday Job that You Call a Business into a Predictable, Profitable, Turn-Key Operation
I have always travelled. Before my business was organized, I had to take the appointment book with me. If anything got done, I had to be involved in it. Hawaii has a 4 to 5 hour time difference from Houston depending on daylight savings, so I had to get up at 2am to speak to my techs and get everything mobilized! Insanity! You will learn how myself and others have organized our businesses to run without us.
How to Build Systems in Your Business – Step-by-Step
I will also show you exactly how to “systematize” your business. If you implement just a handful of simple things, you can get much more out of your business.
14 Ways to Get Your Employees to Do What You Want, When You Want It - I have 27 of the most positive, productive employees in the industry.
If there is one thing (other than F.T.I.) that keeps business owners from growing, it has to be the “employee problem”. Can you really find “good” people? Can you really trust anyone? At this event, you will learn how to find the best people, how to manage them, and how to keep them producing at the absolute highest level.
*** My Latest and Greatest Marketing Strategies, Systems, Promotions and Techniques that are Producing RECORD Sales Even in a Down Economy
Not only will you learn exactly how to get the highest prices for your service, how to generate a ton of referrals and how to double or even triple your business in the next 12 months, you will also get to see the exact marketing tools myself and other highly successful members are using to produce record sales even in this “new” economy! I will show you no less than 24 examples of real live marketing tools that are in action right now… newsletters, blogs, websites, e-mail marketing campaigns, my new card system, joint-venture marketing, and more
Day 2 and 3
That’s just day one. The rest of the event has not been etched in stone yet, but I can tell you this: We will have sessions on how to market natural stone cleaning, water damage restoration, and Oriental rug cleaning. You will hear from members on how they have doubled their businesses, improved their lives and fattened their bank accounts. Also, when you attend all three days, you get membership in The Howard Partridge Inner Circle for free, and you get to go on a tour of my carpet cleaning company…
Guided Tour of My 14 Truck, Highly Systematized, $2 Million, High End Cleaning Firm. RESERVATION REQUIRED!
If you have not taken a tour of my company, you are in for a rare treat. Before I get into what you will see on the tour, let me make it clear that the tour is by reservation ONLY. The tours will take place on WEDNESDAY May 12th ONLY. We have one-hour blocks available. The sooner you register, the better your chances to get your choice of times. Transportation is ON YOUR OWN and you MUST be on time! There is no additional charge for the tour, but we want you to understand we are open for business while you are here, so we will need lots of cooperation from you. You can either rent a car, or get a cab straight from the airport and then on to the hotel. My office will assist you with whatever transportation info you need. You may want to come in a day early, do the first tour and spend the rest of the day exploring Houston. Here’s what you will see on the tour…
The Tour
You will see how we get our fleet ready for service (although when you come most of them will be in the field), you will learn how we get the highest prices over the phone, how we generate an average of $50k per month in new business from referrals. You will see our marketing materials, our sales presentations and our on-site marketing kits (in fact as an Inner Circle Member you will already have these materials). You will see our rug cleaning facility, how we train our guys, and how we keep them motivated to do what we want them to do. Most of all, you will see how it is all put together. As previous attendees have said, you will get a lot of vision. Many have said the tour alone was worth the trip.
*** SPOUSE COMES FREE!!!***
I know how hard it is to try and explain everything that happened at a seminar, and I know how hard it is to get someone on the same page with you. It is so important for you and your spouse to be on the same page, so I am extending a very special offer at this Round Table. Bring your spouse at no additional charge!
*** Updates to come ***
I will be posting updates on my blog and through my e-mail newsletter. And of course when you register, you will be contacted directly with all of the updates.
“How much is it?”
So, your next question is probably “how much is the event?”. The first day is $97.00. The entire 3 day experience is only $997.00. Or you can do three payments of $332.33. Is that a lot of money? Well, yes and no. It is if you just spend that money without any return. But if you consider it an investment, and you get a healthy return on it, it’s not a lot at all. For example, if you were able to just add one new job per month, it would pay for itself over and over again. What if you could increase your job average by just 10%? How much would that be? If you are doing $150k per year, that would be $15,000.00! If you are doing $500k, that’s $50k in your pocket! And raising your job tickets is fairly easy to do if you know what you’re d0ing. We will show you how that works at the event. But here’s something even more important…
WASTED!!!
How much money have you wasted on an ad that didn’t work? More than $997.00, that’s for sure! I know some people that have wasted thousands of dollars a year on advertising with nothing to show for it. At this event, you will learn how to get better results on your marketing with little to no money.
You deserve a break today
One of McDonald’s old slogans was “you deserve a break today”. One of the most important things you can do for your business, for yourself and for your family is to get AWAY from the pressures of your business and think about things. Round Table is such an inspirational environment. Just one breakthrough can have a big impact on your business from now on. You deserve that! What else are you going to do? Stay the same? Something has to change! And if you have a good business, you know that you can take just one thing from this seminar and revolutionize your business. And it’s tax deductible. And that’s not all, check this out:
