Question:

I understand that in order to compete in this Business and Body Transformation Challenge, I need to purchase Dr. Vitale's book, "There's a Customer Born Every Minute", the audio program, The Power of Outrageous Marketing, and the YourBusinessBody.com DVD of the Month which covers Marketing and Fitness tips.

What if I have already purchased the book or the audio program prior to the announcement of this contest?

Answer:

Thanks for purchasing the book and/or the audio program! Simply turn in your receipt(s) from the purchase (as per the rules and regulations found at www.yourbusinessbody.com) along with your entry kit.

If you win and are named the Grand Champion, we will reimburse you for your purchases (book, audio program, DVD's) AND you will win a prize package worth over $150,000.00!

Not a bad return on your investment.

I (Scott) believe that education does not stop after high school or college. It is very important to continue investing in yourself with books, audio programs, DVD's and any other information from valuable sources.

These tools are capable of catapulting you and your business to the elite.

If you take action.

Will you?

Question:

"Where can I find the dvd's with all this information? What happened to mrfiremeltdown.com?"- Tommy L.

Answer:

Hi, Tommy.

The DVD's will be called "YourBusinessBody.com" instead of "MrFireMeltdown.com"

We turned this project into a body and business transformation challenge similar to www.bodyforlife.com

The difference is that we are having a business challenge as well. We want to see people transform their business and their bodies using Dr Vitale's methods.

All of the rules and details are explained at www.yourbusinessbody.com

This blog will also have a lot of info regarding this body and business transformation.

Check it out.

Thanks and let us know if you have anymore questions!

No Coincidences Right Joe! ;)

I have read over the forms, however it is late and I am stilll a lil confused as to what I need to do to start August 1st? Do I send in the form to get going and then send in the Body Transformation part every 12 weeks and then only ONE Business transformation story at the end of the year long contest for that portion?

Thanks guys and looking forward!

Best,

Jared M.

PS Remember this name, I am focused on the prize...."

Answer:
(From Scott)

Hi, Jared.

I love your enthusiasm and wouldn't be surprised at all if we named you the GRAND CHAMPION!

To get started with the body transformation portion of the Challenge. Choose which round (there are a total of 4 rounds for the body transformation) according to the Round Dates found at www.yourbusinessbody.com :

1) Take a before picture of yourself. Use something for verification such as a newspaper - hold the newspaper up, with the date clearly visible.

2) Make sure that you have your Doctor's permission to begin a fitness program before beginning the 12 week body transformation.

Here are some tips to get you started for the body transformation (more tips will be added to the blog at http://www.yourbusinessbody.com/):

- Drink 8 -10 glasses of water a day (minimum). Water keeps your body hydrated and helps to flush out toxins and chemicals that cause you to retain water. Water will also keep you feeling somewhat full so that you have an easier time sticking to a healthy diet.

- Perform 20 -30 minutes of "brisk" cardiovascular exercise 4-5 days each week. My personal preference is interval style training (a combination of walking/jogging) first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

- Perform strength training 3-4 days each week. Examples include: lifting weights at the gym or at home, fullbody exercises (we cover these in the yourbusinessbody.com DVD of the month) such as military type calisthenics, join a "cardio strength" class at your local YMCA, join an outdoor boot camp class (look at http://www.craigslist.org/ and your city to find local exercise classes), take a weight training class at your local college or community college, etc and so on.

- Follow a healthy diet. Eat natural foods including egg whites, lean steak, chicken, fish, protein powders, vegetables, salads, healthy fats (avocado, nuts, olive oil), oatmeal, brown rice, sweet potatoes, and many other choices. Take a multivitamin/mineral - ask your doctor about this.

Follow our continuing tips on the monthly DVD (http://www.yourbusinessbody.com/). It will be chock full of diet, exercise and mental strategies to blow your way through the 12 weeks. There will also be lots of marketing tips from Dr. Vitale on the DVD's.



2) At the end of the 12 weeks take an after picture of yourself. Again, use something for verification - hold up a newspaper so that the date can be verified.

You only have to do the 12 week body transformation once. If you are not satisfied with the results, you can do the 12 week body transformation more than once as long as you start and stop in accordance with the start/stop dates that are found within the "Round Dates" page at http://www.yourbusinessbody.com/



Send in the body transformation portion of the entry kit within 15 days of completion(as per the directions found in the rules and regulations at http://www.yourbusinessbody.com/) to:

P.O. Box 5084
Jonestown, Tx

3) The business portion of the challenge lasts for almost a full year see Round Dates and Rules and Regulations at http://www.yourbusinessbody.com/ for all of the details.

The Voice or the Force. Which One Guides You?

I just finished my workout.

Outside.

It's hot.

I live in Texas and it's 1pm.

Here is what I did.

Warmup (light stretching)

Then:

3 rounds or circuits consisting of

Ring rows x 20 full reps
Kettlebell swings x 20 full reps
Barbell Squats x 20 full reps
Ring flyes x 20 reps
Dips x 20 reps
"The Hill"- I'll explain this one another time.

Each round took me about 5 minutes and I rested for 3 minutes between rounds.

My 1 1/2 year old was napping while I did this workout.

The entire workout I had a voice in my head gently telling me things like:

"It's too hot."

"Don't workout so hard"

"Do it later"

"Was that Vaughn (my son) crying over the monitor?"

"Go inside and check"

I listened to "the voice" each time as I pumped, swung, squatted, ran, and rested.

I considered what "the voice" was telling me.

But then "the force" made itself heard.

"The force" is more powerful than "the voice".

"The force" will kick the #$*& out of "the voice" each and every time.

What is "the force"?

I like to think of it as that inner fire that each of us have inside of ourselves.

For some it's glowing red hot.

For others, it's simply a small flame.

Encourage it, depend upon it and it is the reason that you will finish your workouts, your projects, achieve your goals, improve your mind and your body.

It's why I call my fitness company FullForceFitness! (www.fullforcefitness.net)

Scott

P.S. Have you entered the Yourbusinessbody.com challenge yet? What are you waiting for?
There's a prize package of over $150,000.00 that someone will win!
Will it be you?

The voice? Or the Force?

Below are more questions and my answers.

Question - A.) Is that (business transformation challenge) something you would help with? OR do I just go about it by myself and then submit signed contractswith (prehaps copies of deposits from clients)-- I'm still lost as to HOW is the best way to build the business.

Answer - Yes, Dr. Vitale would help indirectly via his marketing expertise. Think of it as taking a class. In the class you would use the book "There's A Customer Born Every Minute", the audio program "The Power of Outrageous Marketing" and the monthly DVD that Dr. Vitale and I have created.

These tools will help anyone with their business' bottom line. They are chocked full of tips, strategies, case studies, examples, etc of how to improve your business.

These products will guide you to business success - if you take action.

B.) How do I go about transforming my body-- would this be a plan I come up with on my own and submit the ( before and after ) photos as proof?

Answer - I cover this extensively in the monthly DVD's.

I train Dr. Vitale in his home gym and explain how to use little, if any, equipment in order to get results. We cover training, diet, recovery, the how's, why's, etc of physical fitness and body transformation.

One of my other "jobs" is running outdoor fitness classes (www.fullforcefitness.net).

I just finished training a group of people for 4 weeks, 3 x a week using little equipment. All of them improved their strength at the end of the session.

Some of them DOUBLED their strength (pushups, situps, squat jumps). The secrets are desire and consistency.

C) My REASON for interest in the competition: Just recently recovering from a surgery-- ( fixing a health issue)-- has given me my energy back and developed a creative interest in my work again.

My bad health made it impossible to work with clients these last few years the way I should have been. This resulted in no repeat business / nor referrals. Infact I have not worked on any projects since, JAN of this year.

It is almost like I'm starting over again, building relationships with old clients and new ones. However, I'm a bit hesitant on contacting old clients.. due to the poor service I delivered over the past 2 yrs.

That is why the competetion has captured my interest! I felt like I was given a second chance when I awoke from surgury June 5, 2006 and I want to go and get a head of the pack again!

Answer - Congratulations are your recovery!

As you know, your health is your most important asset.

Everything else flows from having good health, a strong body and a powerful mindset. If your work is your passion then your inner fire will guide you with decisions such as contacting past clients.

Now start kicking some A**.

Questions and Answers about our YourBusinessBody.com Transformation Challenge!

Hi, Monika.

My name is Scott York.

I am Dr. Joe Vitale's partner on the www.yourbusinessbody.com project that we just launched.
Joe asked me to shed some light on the contest for you.

There are 2 parts to the contest.

1) Body Transformation - We want the participants to transform their bodies and we are using a huge prize package to help motivate them. (See "Rules", which is a PDF document at www.yourbusinessbody.com for general rules and the prize package info).

So many people have asked (and keep asking) Dr. Vitale how he lost the weight (80lbs). This was part of the motivation for us to have this contest (yourbusinessbody.com).

The other motivation stemmed from Dr. Vitale's participation in the www.bodyforlife.com contest that he has entered for the last 5 years. Bodyforlife.com is a great way to set a goal and then work towards the goal - competing only with yourself to see how much one can improve their physique.

Bodyforlife.com has been wildly successful and has transformed hundreds, if not thousands, of peoples lives.

Lives not just bodies.

Including Dr. Vitale's.

2) Business Transformation - There are many people out there who need help with their marketing, sales copy, publicity, business ideas, etc. So many business fail or simply do not pan out the way the business owner thought that they would.

This is the motivation behind the Business Transformation part of the yourbusinessbody.com transformation challenge.

We know that if people will use Dr. Vitale's techniques ("There's A Customer Born Every Minute" Book, "The Power of Outrageous Marketing" Audio Program, and our Marketing and Fitness DVD of the month) that people who are wanting to increase their bottom line within their business can't fail.

We want to see results.

Use these tools (book, audio, and dvd of the month) to break all business earnings records. Whether you are a stay at home Mom or Dad with a business, a small business owner or the CEO of a large company.

Apply what you learn and watch your business transform. Take action. Get excited. Accomplish the "impossible".

In order for us (the judges) to see the improvement that the participant makes with their business we need proof.

That proof can be anything that the participant feels will prove that he or she is worthy of being name The Grand Champion.

It doesn't have to be deposit slips. But it can be.

Each participant just needs to show the judges how he or she improves their business over the course of a year.

The sooner one starts the contest, the more time to improve.

Once again, the rules at www.yourbusinessbody.com should explain in detail what we are looking for.

There is also a blog at www.yourbusinessbody.com that will contain updates, useful tips, and clarification for this contest.

Note - The blog is in its infancy.

This contest is the first of its kind so we know that we will have a lot of explaining to do.

We certainly don't mind.

Thanks so much for your email and interest!
