It’s Decision Time! Last Call!

- March 3, 2013 | by April -

Recording

Whenever I make a big purchase {anything over $250 is a big purchase to me}, I have a routine:

Stumble upon: the amazing football tickets, the sleigh bed I picture sleeping in for years, a conference I don’t want to miss, a business course I know will help me succeed, or a zoom lens for my Nikon D90.

I spend waaaay too much time fantasizing about it.

I could capture beautiful pictures of those lilac roses with that zoom lens. All my online friends are attending that conference and we’d finally be able to drink wine together in person. My husband, our three dogs, and myself could snuggle on that bed.

And, then I tell myself that I don’t reeeeally need it. I mean, we could continue sleeping on the small bed that my husband’s feet hang off of. I could miss the game of the season and the memories it would create for a lifetime.

Then, I play the torture game. I bet you know this game.

You read the description of the business course eight times, pouring over every detail. You keep the sales page window open when you go to bed. You read it again when you wake up the next morning while you sip your green tea and imagine your dream business. Anxiety overwhelms you. You tell yourself that it’s too big of a splurge, and you close the window, wincing as if it’s as painful as a migraine.

You mention the course to your husband, hoping that he won’t think about committing you to a psych ward for even considering spending $$$$ on an online course.

You re-read the testimonials, relating to the business success stories because it’s what you’ve been dreaming about practically every free second—on your drive to work, when your mind wanders during the boring meeting your boss insists on every week, on your route home from work, as you fall asleep at night.

Sometimes there’s a deadline {like with the game tickets or conference or business course} and that’s when things get serious.

You’ve got one more day to decide. You feel nauseous as you reluctantly type in your credit card information. You delete it and go for a quick walk with your sidekick, your golden retriever. On the walk, all you think about is that damn course and how much you want to enroll.

It’s time. You have to decide. And, it all comes down to this: How bad do you really want it?

When you sit back down at your computer, you enter your credit card information again. You wonder how long it’ll take to see a return. You wonder if it’s worth it. You wonder if you’ll have to eat ramen noodles for the next month to make up for it. You pace back and forth in front of your computer before holding your breath and hitting the purchase button.

If you’re still on the fence about B-School, it’s that time. The doors close tomorrow, March 4th at 3pm EST.

Mayi Carles and I know how hard this decision can be, because we’ve both been there—armpit sweats and all. That’s why we hosted a happy hour the other night. If you missed it because you were asleep since it was 3am your time or your kid was sick with the flu, you can watch the replay right here.

We spill about our own B-School experiences, how our bonus courses complement B-School, how fast it took us to see a return, and so much more. We answered every question we received open and honestly, so you can make the right decision for yourself.

There’s no more time to fantasize and ponder. It’s time to make your decision.

And, don’t forget that if you use our affiliate link, you’ll get access to $700 worth of our courses and a physical package {not your email inbox!} in the mail filled with goodies.

I’m spending the day relaxing with a cup of tea, so if you have any last minute questions, leave them below and I’ll try to answer them ASAP.

    Hi April, I send Mayi an email. I hope she replies because I really want to sign up but I am considering between two affiliates.
    Blessings, Sita

      Hey Sita! Mayi usually travels on the weekend and isn’t always plugged in due to lack of internet but I’m sure she’ll get back to you as soon as she can! I forwarded her your comment so it would be high on her priority list! 🙂
