Wow, was that a call to remember or what? We had so much fun explaining our new program for entrepreneurs in North America! Hope you did too.

I’m going to post the audio of our history-making call for you too so you can listen to the replay. You can look forward to that. First, our important breaking news!

CONGRATULATIONS to all our first-round winners!

I’ve called all the winners to congratulate them personally, but had to leave voicemail messages for most since we weren’t able to connect personally yet (but we will… never fear). And I’ll be sending out an email confirmation on Monday as well so everyone will be up to date on status etc. You will see their profiles posted here in the coming weeks so you can get to know a bit more about them. (I’m just getting to know them myself obviously!)

Here are the names of our first winners and how they won in the first draw:

Winner #1: 1st person on the call to order a seat in SMARTSTART: Cathy Perkins, Hickory, North Carolina

Winner #2: 2nd person on the call to order a seat in SMARTSTART: William Young, Seattle, Washington

Winner #3: 1st person on the call to order a seat in SMARTSTART at the 44th minute mark: Nathaniel Scott, Jacksonville, Florida

But that’s not all that happened. You see, I had reserved three winner spots for a promo we had planned but then didn’t do. So I’ve awarded those places to three additional winners in the first round using these criteria:

Winner #4: 1st person to order a seat in SMARTSTART before the call started: Carol Ann Wagner, South Pasadena, California

Winner #5: 2nd person to order a seat in SMARTSTART before the call started: Sandra Dean, Whitby, Ontario

Winner #6: 4th person to order a seat in SMARTSTART at the 44th minute mark: Kerry Tilton, Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Folks who did not win one of the consulting packages valued at $300,000 in this draw still have a chance! (If you want to get the details of the giveaway, click the link to Get the Details about the Giveaway!)

If you were on the call, we explained that all those who ordered a seat in SMARTSTART will automatically be entered in the next two draws: October 31 and November 28! Plus, those who hold seats 1-100 will have 10 entries in each draw, those with seats 101-200 will have 5 entries in each draw and those with seats 201 – 300 will have 2 entries in each draw. (The prizes will be drawn live at the end of our next two Final-Friday-of-the-Month Micro-Fundraising calls.)

Anytime between now and then, if you want to be in the draw you must first purchase a seat in the SMARTSTART Business Success mentoring program — just follow these 3 easy steps to do that:

1. Go to www.smartstartcoach.com
2. Review the details about the business program opportunity to see if it’s right for you
3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Add to Cart to order your seat!

If you order before October 15th, you’ll discover on the order form that the price is still set to $49/month (that was our “fast action” bonus. On October 15th, it will be $69/month as noted on the web page. On January 1, it will be $99/month (but by then our draws will be over although you can still join us in the mentoring program at any time).

Congratulations again to our first-round winners! We can’t wait to see who will win next. Best of luck to you all.
