I had an idea about a year ago, and I’m finally getting around to writing about it.

As I was planning my two-week family vacation in Europe last summer, I thought it would be really cool to make a “Work Less, Make More” T-shirt, and take pictures of me “working less” in Europe. It was a blast doing it, and here’s one of the pictures:

I started thinking about this idea again a couple weeks ago. (Yes, on vacation. Are you starting to see a pattern here?) I wanted to come up with a way for you to share your experiences “working less”—maybe wearing a Work Less, Make More T-shirt while doing so.

My family and I had the privilege of visiting Disney World recently. We have been to both Disney World and Disneyland before, but this time we were there for eight days! We stayed at the beautiful Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, and had an amazing time.

I’ve always loved Disney. For me, it is as much a “business case study” as it a family vacation. I love it every time I go, and could easily visit much more often than we do. I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for Walt Disney, who is one of the greatest visionaries ever.

Hey guys,

I’ll keep this short and sweet… all systems are go and we are now LIVE!

You can get all the details and grab your spot now at this site:

To your success,

Brian Bartes

P.S. This is definitely a case where the early bird gets the worm. As you know, the Platinum and Gold Levels are extremely limited—I expect them to be filled quickly.

Hi everyone!

I’m getting a ton of emails about the launch page being down…

You know the old adage "everything that can go wrong will?" Well, it’s been that kind of day. I thought we had everything straightened out, but there’s some issue with the formatting of the pages. Our IT guy is working on it, and I’ll let you know just as soon as we’re live.

Thank you for being patient with us.

Brian

Just to remind you, registration for our new Work Less, Make More Program goes LIVE today (Tuesday, April 22) at 1:00pm eastern. In case you’ve missed my earlier emails, you can read all about it on our blog:

http://www.worklessmakemore.com/blog

The response to this opportunity has been HUGE, and all I can say is, with 13,679 people on our Announcement List, the 35 Platinum Level and 50 Gold Level spots will probably go within a matter of minutes.

Have you noticed?

The blog is lighting up like Times Square on New Year’s Eve! Plus, my inbox is overflowing. People are even calling our office in unprecedented numbers.

The new Work Less, Make More Program is the reason.

I’ve honestly never seen anything like this. It seems like hundreds of people have questions—important questions about the program—far more than with any other product or program we’ve created.

Before her life was tragically cut short in 2001, Jennifer White revealed some of the most potent success principles known to man in various events around the country. Many of these presentations were recorded on video, with the hope that they could be used later to impact the lives of even more people. Unfortunately, those recordings disappeared.

A little more than a month ago, I was searching through some boxes that I had received from Jennifer’s husband Steve. Imagine my surprise when I saw a single, plain DVD in a clear yellow CD jewel case. In blue Sharpie pen were the words “Jen – Luncheon Speech.”

Things are moving pretty fast with our Work Less, Make More Program. I just wanted to give you a quick update….

First off, we have an official launch date and time:

*** Tuesday, April 22, 2008 at 1:00pm eastern ***

As I write this, it is only a week away!

It has been a long road, and I still have a few details to work out. But it’s very exciting, and I can’t wait to get this launched so more people can begin their journey to working less and making more!

Also, a couple reminders:

I finally finished the report I’ve been telling you about…and I can’t wait for you to read it. The report explains why life isn’t working for people, and what you can do to create the life you were meant to live. You can get a free copy right here:

If you’re like me, you grew up believing in the American Dream. This “dream” is based on the theory that if you work hard, you’ll be able to take care of yourself—and your family—financially. You and your family will be happy. You’ll be living the American Dream. Have you ever noticed that the reality for most people is very different? Doesn’t it seem like people are working too much, but not really getting where they want to be?

I want to write a little bit about goals. Notice that I didn’t write “resolutions”. I know that, as I’m writing this, people have already stopped going to the gym. The first couple weeks went great, but the enthusiasm is waning. Old habits have set back in, and many people have already given up on 2008 being “the” year.

I hope I’m not describing how your year is going so far. If you’re making good progress, then I want to congratulate you on your success. If you’re slipping, or have given up, please hang in there! Keep going. Give it another chance. You can do it!
