You Can Get Paid to Do What You Love

This Time Next Year, You Could be
Living Your Dream of a More Flexible, Satisfying Life…

Please Join Me As One of a Select Group of People Who
Will Turn Their Interests Into Income.
Starting Here. Starting Today.

Dear Change-Seeker,

You can escape the 9-to-5 world and enjoy more control over your time and your life. You can find ways to do what you love and get paid for it.

Lots of people have… 

…like Beverly who finally started listening to what her friends had been telling her for years and pursued her love of decorating. Today she goes into people’s homes and shows them how they can redecorate on a shoestring budget using the furnishings they already have.

…like Rachel who, at 24, was poised to apply to an MBA program because she “didn’t know what else to do” with her life. Rachel did end up going back to school… but it was to realize her real dream of having her own dog-training business.

…or Bob, a former public school teacher who now runs snowmobiling tours in Quebec in the winter and sells vintage car parts out of his barn on his farm in rural Massachusetts in the summer.

…or Cindy who, after 16 years in the software industry, quit her high-pressured sales job and moved to California’s wine country. Today she’s a self-employed wine expert who spends her days teaching and sharing her love for wine with others.

…or me. Up until 11 years ago, I spent 7 long years commuting 90 miles a day to a high-stress job that paid the bills but did not feed my spirit. I felt like I was living in a Dilbert cartoon. The demands of work and life left me feeling exhausted and emotionally depleted. Yet today I work for myself, make my own hours, and enjoy helping folks like you figure out how to earn a living by following their dreams…

Jump-Start Your New Life Right Here, Right Now

A whole world of possibility exists out there. It’s just that sometimes -- as I suspect you well understand -- it’s hard to navigate your way through it on your own…

You know you don’t want to be doing what you’re doing… yet an escape plan hasn’t exactly materialized…

That’s what I would like to help you with -- I’d like to give you the solution you need to discover what you love to do… and then get started doing it… right now.

How? I’d like to invite you to join a very small and very special community of people.

Like most communities, the members come in all shapes and sizes -- they’re diverse in background, age, interest, education, culture, experience…

But in this community, the members do share one important trait:

Every single one is ready to launch a new life… to turn this into the year they create for themselves a more flexible, satisfying existence doing what they love and earning an income at it.

I’d like to invite you to join them today as a member of the Fast Track Your Dream Community.

As a member, you gain all the tools, resources, expert guidance, mentors, and networking you need to reinvent yourself faster, more efficiently, and more economically than you ever could on your own.

Now, in the interest of full disclosure, I should tell you that when I first “launched” this Fast Track Your Dream Community, I intentionally limited it to 200 members. The reason I capped the membership was because I wanted to be certain that every single member got as much support as they needed.

Once these initial member spots were taken (which took all of 10 days) I stopped accepting new member registrations just to make sure everyone was getting all the support they needed.

Fortunately it looks like we’ve been able to handle the volume and still provide excellent support. So I’ve decided to open the doors to another 50 members. Once these fill, I’ll monitor things to see if and when I can once again start accepting new members.

But that’s beside the point. Let me get back to what this invitation --and what this community -- is really all about.

Whether you dream of making a living writing children’s books… or researching stuff on the internet... or shopping… or organizing events… or creating beautiful spaces… or gardening… or making a difference in the world… or living in an R.V. and traveling… or, well, whatever your passion…

…as a member of the Fast Track Your Dream Community, you can begin to make your dream a reality… starting the very minute you join.

That’s because I’ll give you every single proven and effective resource I’ve created or uncovered in the past decade… books, special reports, worksheets, audio recordings, and more… all designed to help you discover, follow, and achieve your dream, fast… 

Plus members can tap into an incredible amount of targeted, timely, expert advice through monthly teleconferences hosted by dozens of experts I’ve lined up to teach you how to quit your job and get a life.

And that’s just the beginning.

I’ve also set up a special Fast Tracker Discussion Forum staffed by people ready and willing to help you brainstorm ways to turn your interests into income, navigate any nagging fears and self-doubts, deal with the dream dashers in your life...

And there’s a lot more, too. I’m really just talking in broad strokes here. In fact there are SO MANY tools, resources, and benefits to tell you about that I am going to do something practically unheard of in the marketing world… (in fact my marketing consultant thinks I’ve lost my mind).

I’m going to give you a check list of what the Fast Track Your Dreams Community is all about right upfront.

That way if you’re a “big picture” person or a “skimmer,” you can see pretty quickly whether this is the right solution for you. Because, frankly, if you’re not really ready to move toward the life you really want, I’d rather you didn’t sign on.

If you want to jump ahead to learn more about a particular resource, simply click on that link to see what its all about and how it can help you accelerate your dream of working at what you love.

Don’t worry if you’re more of a detail person… I took great care to explain what each of the individual tools and resources are all about.

Once you start reading you’ll quickly see how the combination of all of these powerful tools can help you quit your job so you can live a more balanced, sane life working at your heart’s desire.

The Fast Track Your Dreams Community is made up of two key components: A FAST TRACK KIT designed to quickly get you on track PLUS a whole host of ONGOING MEMBER BENEFITS all designed to help you stay on track:

A checklist doesn’t begin to tell the full story. Because what it comes down to is this...

If you’re ready to propel yourself from where you are today to where you want to be… if you’re ready to make this the year you finally gain the freedom and flexibility and satisfaction you’ve always longed for… then the most efficient, time-saving, and cost-effective way to do it is as a Fast Track Your Dream Community member.

When you join, you’ll discover a profoundly liberating and invigorating thing: That changing course doesn’t have to be scary and paralyzing, that it really can be easy… fast… fun… and actually hard to stop, once you start. And anybody can do it, no matter how “harebrained” you may think your dream is…

I’m going to show you here exactly how Fast Track membership makes it possible. But first, let me take a moment to introduce myself properly…  

Valerie and her wonder dog, "Cokie Roberts"

My name is Valerie Young, and I’ve devoted the last decade to gathering useful, reliable, proven resources and tools you can use to help you discover your unique gifts and talents and turn them into your livelihood.

I guess you’d call me an expert at what I do. My advice has been cited in places like Kiplinger’s, Entrepreneur, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today Weekend, Woman’s Day, Self, Cosmopolitan, Glamour [UK], The Chicago Tribune, The Toronto Globe and Mail, The Morning Sydney Herald, CareerBuilder.com, MSN.com…

Over the years, I’ve helped thousands of people discover and live their dreams. And now, through membership in the Fast Track Your Dream Community, I’d like to help you do it, too.

The Resources and Expert Advice You Need to
 Quit Your J-o-b and Work at What You Love…

When you join the Fast Track Your Dream Community, you immediately gain access to an incredible array of tools and resources designed to answer every question you have, address every need that concerns you, and cover every base necessary to help you more quickly transition from having a boss to being your own boss.

Plus it’s not just targeted solutions you get… but access to experts, to mentors, and to your fellow community members, too. The real-life people who can work with you to hone and define your dream, be there to brainstorm with you, offer exactly the encouragement you need, and help you to turn your ideas into income-producing endeavors.

I call this a “community” because that’s exactly what it is. It’s vibrant, alive, interactive… and powerful. And it springs from the needs of people just like you.

In fact, this all started when I asked the more than 23,000 subscribers to my newsletter what most worried them about changing course… what they’d most want to ask me if we met, just the two of us, for lunch…

I received 1,200 responses, all with questions like --

• “How do I find out what I want to be when I grow up? (I’m 53!)”

• “How do I pay my bills while chasing my dream?”

• “How do you deal with fear of change and of leaping into the unknown?”

• “Am I sunk if I hate marketing?"

• “How do I deal with benefits that I am used to getting as part of an employment package?”

• And more…

Maybe you have some of those same questions and concerns. If so, you’re in good company.

When it comes right down to it, there are lots of things that hold people back from following their dreams.

Some worry about practical things like how to pay the bills, what to do about health insurance and retirement savings, and how to handle taxes…

Others have a great idea but don’t know how to market it… Then there are people who know what they love to do but don’t have clue about how to make money at it…

Well, those are exactly the kinds of worries and roadblocks you can overcome (easily and quickly) as a member of the Fast Track Your Dream Community.

Here’s how…

You Really Can Take Back Your Life… If You Have a Plan…
and a Plan is Exactly What this Community Provides

The first thing I’ll do when I receive your membership registration is mail you out a box filled to the brim with the very best, most effective change-making resources I’ve created, compiled, or uncovered in the past ten years. I call it the FAST TRACK TOOLKIT.

And when you open it up, you’ll find it filled with all the essential tools you need to get on the path that makes the most sense for you… the path that will take you to a life where you’re passionate about what you’re doing… a life where you have more time for what’s important… more freedom… and more satisfaction, too. 

It’s practical, useful, and hands-on, and inside you’ll find…   

The 10 Steps to Escaping the Job World and Creating the Life You Really Want Personal Planner ($35 value)

This is an invaluable resource that helps you track your dreams, identify the exact steps you need to take, and make a concrete plan for creating the kind of balanced, satisfying life (and work) you deserve.

Your 127-page Personal Planner includes all sorts of useful tools for getting your new life off the ground -- a Business Plan template, a Multiple Income Stream worksheet, a worksheet outlining the 10 different places to look for support so you can put together your personal Dream Team… and much, much more…

Whether you dream of restoring antique violins… or running workshops… or being a personal chef… or doing pet massage… or leading travel tours… or editing… or hosting your own sports radio show... or being a fitness coach… or for that matter, doing what I do… whatever your passion…

…This Personal Planner can help you make that dream a reality, starting now.

 “It’s Never Too Late to Be What You Might Have Been”

That’s all well and good, you say… but what if you still don’t know what you want to be “when you grow up”?

Relax. Because as the 18^th-century writer George Eliot once said, “It’s never too late to be what you might have been.”

It was these words that inspired another of the life-changing tools in the FAST TRACK TOOLKIT: Finding Your True Calling ($24.95 value)

…otherwise known as the “handbook for people who still don’t know what they want to be when they grow up… but can’t wait to find out.”

If you haven’t yet found the work you were meant to do, you’ll find this resource an invaluable guide. It shows you not only how others have come to find their life’s work… but how you can do it, too. You’ll learn about --

• 20 ordinary people who have taken an interest and turned it into an income… Like John McCarthy who, when he was cut from a minor league baseball team, decided to forego a “real” job and, instead, combine the two things he loved the most -- baseball and working with kids. He started a baseball camp for children. That was 11 years ago. Today John’s camp has taught thousands of campers about baseball while sneaking in values like remembering to thank others, reading, and respect for others.

• Five ways to hear your true calling… and discover what it really is you’re most passionate about…

• Guidance, wisdom, and know-how from career-change and entrepreneurial experts like Barbara Winter, author of Making a Living Without a Job… and from them all, effective step-by-step formulas for uncovering your gifts and passions…

• A “Super-Simple, Unique & Weird Job Idea Generator” -- use it, and you’ll never even think about taking another “McJob” again!

• And more…

You know, nobody can “tell you” what you’re meant to do. But you’ll be able to see it for yourself once you’ve worked your way through Finding Your True Calling. And when you find the calling that is uniquely yours, your life will be transformed. Guaranteed.

You Really Can Take Control of Your Life and Enjoy a Richer, More Balanced Existence Doing Work You Really Love

You see, this dream of actually enjoying what you do… of getting up in the morning and being eager to get down to it… of finding a real balance in your life and control over your own time and destiny…

…that’s not a crazy dream. You really can make that happen.

You can make a living doing what you love. And you’ll be happier for it, I assure you.

Of course, there are hurdles to clear -- I’d be painting too rosy a picture if I told you otherwise. But these are hurdles Fast Track membership will help you identify and conquer.

The first one, I suspect, you’ll have encountered already: The dream busters.

You know them: First there are the many people who are all too quick to tell you to give up on your foolish dreams. “What do you mean you want to quit your job?” they say, “But you already have a good job -- you want to be happy too?!”

And then there are all the completely ill-informed “experts” out there. They’re the ones who have never been self-employed a day in their lives, but who “know” that most small businesses fail or that “there’s no money…” in art, or writing, or cooking, or traveling, or whatever it is that you want to do.

Just remember, as the Sufi philosopher Rumi put it: “When setting out on a journey, never consult someone who has never left home.” If you want to make a living designing movie sets, talk to a set designer -- not to your cousin Stan the accountant.

When you listen to the naysayers out there, the message is loud and clear: Stay stuck, don’t even dare to hope, forget your dreams.

I say sidestep those dream busters entirely. And as a member of the Fast Track Your Dream Community, I’ll show you exactly how to do it…

Learn How to Sidestep the Doubters in Your Life and Gain the Confidence to Pursue Your Dream

The next resource included in the FAST TRACK TOOLKIT is Yes You Can: The Inspirational Kick in the Pants You Need to Take Control of Your Life and Go After Your Dreams. ($19.95 value)

Yes You Can! contains practical tips from fellow travelers -- real people who embarked on their own personal journey -- that will inspire and motivate you as you begin your new life. For example…

Don’t have a “Plan B” if you quit your current job? Neither did Jerry Stocking. Find out how he did it on page 38. Page 17 will provide you with a huge tool that will enable you to free up more time than you ever thought possible. Afraid that following your dream will reduce your income? It doesn’t have to be that way… start reading on page 5.   Does it seem like everyone else’s needs always come before yours? Find out what to do, starting on page 17.

If you really want to create a more balanced, rewarding life doing work you truly love, you’ll need to create a mindset that will instantly turn “can’t” into “can.”

That’s exactly what you’ll get in Yes You Can! With a little help you’ll learn to banish “can’t” from your vocabulary and begin living life on your own terms.

But what if the “can’ts” aren’t coming from the outside? What if all the negative self-talk and self-doubt is “between you and you”?

Say Goodbye to That Nagging, Dream-Stopping Self-Doubt

Do you secretly worry that others will find out you’re not as intelligent and competent as they seem to think you are… that you “fooled” them? Do you often dismiss your accomplishments as a “fluke” or “no big deal?”

Do you sometimes shy away from challenge because of nagging self-doubt? Are you crushed by even constructive criticism, taking it as evidence of your ineptness?  If so, join the club!

I’ve spoken on these very subjects to over 30,000 people from such diverse organizations as Daimler Chrysler, American Women in Radio and Television, and Harvard University.

And recently I sat down and created a workbook called…

How to Feel as Bright and Capable as Everyone Seems to Think You Are: What Every Woman (and Man) Needs to Know About Competence, the Impostor Syndrome, and the Art of Winging It ($35 value)

This, too, I’ve included in the FAST TRACK TOOLKIT. You’ll find it chock-full of practical exercises and, really, like a “workshop for one.” It’ll show you --

• Why so many perfectly competent people suffer from the “Impostor Syndrome” and what it takes to over come it

• What Ted Koppel, Daniel Boone, Albert Einstein have learned that could change your life

• How your race, class background, and gender can and do contribute to feelings of intellectual fraudulence

• What it really takes to be competent

• Why deep down you may fear success far more than you do failure

• How to stop the perfectionism and procrastination standing between you and your dream

You’ll walk away with practical strategies for interrupting needless self-doubt that you can start using immediately… so you can finally begin to see yourself as the bright, competent person you really are.

I’ll Tell You the Secrets, Techniques, and Tricks I Know Really Work…
to Save You Time, Money, Energy, and Frustration

Now, all of these printed resources you’ll receive in the FAST TRACK TOOLKIT are invaluable as you explore your options and start down the path toward your new life.

But I realized, as I was putting this Toolkit together, that there was so much more I wanted my Fast Track Your Dream Community members to know.

So I decided the most efficient way to get you many of the secrets, techniques, and tricks that can give you such an advantage as you pursue your dream would be to simply tell you what they are…

And so that’s exactly what I do in the 10 Audio CD’s that come inside the FAST TRACK TOOLKIT.

All packed with extremely practical, actionable advice, they focus on four key areas, answer all the questions people ask me most frequently, and deliver eye-opening secrets that will save you time, money, energy, and frustration…

• AUDIO PROGRAM 1 -- How to Turn Your Interests into Income
  You’ll learn the steps I use to help my own clients tap into their true passions and discover how to make a living at them. You’ll hear how one woman went from worrying she’d be my first “failure” to walking away with seven different ways she could turn her varied passions into income.

• AUDIO PROGRAM 2 -- 10 Steps to Escaping the Job World and Creating the Life You Really Want
  Find out how I ditched my high-stress corporate job -- steps you can start taking immediately to break out of “job jail” and work at what you love.

• AUDIO PROGRAM 3 -- The 10 Biggest Dream Busters and How to Avoid Them
  Make no mistake about it. The myths, misconceptions, and roadblocks to changing course are real. Save time and disappointment by sidestepping the dream zappers.

• AUDIO PROGRAM 4 -- How to Feel as Bright and Capable as Everyone Seems to Think You Are
  Find out what everybody needs to know about competence, the Impostor Syndrome, and the art of winging it. This audio companion brings alive many of the concepts covered in the workbook you’ll receive.

PLUS, I’ve printed written transcripts of all of these CD’s for you -- because some people learn better when they see things in writing. So if you prefer to learn by reading and highlighting key passages as you go, you’ll find these nearly 200 pages of powerful, practical knowledge an invaluable resource.

You’ll find these audio CD programs not only helpful and engaging, but convenient, too. Pop one in when you’re stuck in traffic… or cleaning the house… or cooking dinner… or walking on the treadmill… and turn what might be wasted time into time you’re putting toward reinventing your life…

Shave Months (Even Years) Off Your Transition to Your New Life
With Hundreds of Reliable, Eye-Opening Resources Online

Now, keep in mind… once you’ve figured out what direction to point yourself, you’ve got to actually head that way.

And it’s usually at this point that one of two things happens.

People either a) find themselves paralyzed and so do nothing… or b) rush ahead to learn everything they can about what they’d like to do and find themselves bogged down in too much information, not sure which direction to take, and wasting time…

But as a Fast Track Your Dream Community member, you can avoid both pitfalls and, instead, take the smart and steady steps necessary to get from where you are today to where you want to be. 

That’s because, over the last decade, I’ve gathered hundreds of effective tools to help you follow your own road and work at what you love. 

In helping thousands of people discover and live their dreams, I’ve systematically tracked down the most helpful, reliable, time-saving, and money-making resources out there… and I’ve catalogued them all. 

Within minutes of joining the Fast Track Your Dream Community, you’ll receive a password that gives you 3 months of unfettered access to two Online Resource Guides available when you log into FAST TRACK HEADQUARTERS.

You’ll find information about more things than you can imagine…

…everything from free or low-cost business-start up resources… to jobs for people who love to bake and cook… to how to make money from your art, music, or crafts...

…from what you need to know to create a profitable small business… to ways you can turn a passion for dogs, cats, or just about any animal really into regular income… and the list goes on and on…

The truth is, if you were to go to bookstores and to the library and get online and try to find all these resources yourself, you’d be at it for, well… for years. (That’s how long it’s taken me to track them down.)

And the thing is, you’d have a hard time distinguishing the worthwhile things from those that are, frankly, a waste of time.

And time is of the essence. After all, you’re ready for change. You’re ready to reinvent yourself, starting now.

So do you want to spend months and months muddling through hundreds of thousands of resources hoping that you’ve gleaned enough useful information to get your new life started on the right foot?

Or do you want to go straight to the resources you can be sure are trustworthy and effective… so you can get busy living your new life? That’s what the Online Resource Guides help you do.

It cuts through the massive jungle of information out there to create lighted pathways you can follow. And you can start using it as soon as we’ve processed your membership registration.

The resources you’ll have access to are divided into two distinct Online Resource Guides, both easy to navigate and chock full of incredibly useful information that will save you time, trouble (and, most likely, money too). 

In fact, these Online Resource Guides smash one of the biggest myths about changing course. Forget what you’ve heard…

The Fact Is You Don’t Need to Have Money to Make Money

It’s true. You don’t need money to make money. There are really only two things you need to make money -- a creative mind and information. And why I created a FAST TRACK ONLINE RESOURCE AREA.

As a Fast Track Your Dream Community member, you gain online, password-protected access two handy online guides. The first one I titled The Idea Jogger: 201 Totally Cool Resources, Ideas, and Opportunities for Turning Interests into Income

It took about six months to complete but I had a ball putting this online guide together. It features over 200 links on how to turn a love for cooking, baking, wine, animals, art, music, photography, crafts or other creative pursuits into enjoyable and viable income streams.

The Idea Jogger includes links to established businesses that serve as real-life examples of how actual people just like you have turned their passion for dogs, horses, cooking, chocolate, art, music, etc. into profit… and you’ll also find a number of more in-depth success stories.

All of the businesses you’ll learn about here serve as successful and in some cases unique business models that you can potentially build upon.

But that’s not all. They also serve as powerful reminders that despite what all the ill-informed, fear-driven naysayers tell us, there are lots -- and I mean lots -- of people who are happily making a living working at what they love. And you can too.

What if your own interests lie elsewhere? Not to worry…

To me, the beauty of The Idea Jogger is that it can help anyone -- regardless of where your personal interests may lie. Whether your particular passion is cars or coaching, organizing or origami, health spas or herb gardening… as a Fast Track Your Dream Community Member, I guarantee: You’ll discover something that will significantly accelerate your own escape from job jail to working at what you love on your own terms.

Once you start thinking outside the job box, once you make the mental shift from “finding” a job to “creating” opportunities, you will discover that no matter what it is you love to do, there are any number of ways to turn your interests into one or more viable income streams.

Just by using The Idea Jogger, you will begin to think more creatively about how you, too, can make a living without a job.

(PLUS… because you won’t always be at your computer when you’re working on making the leap to a new life, I’m also going to put in the mail to new members a handy printed version of The Idea Jogger… so you can flip through it at lunch or on the train or whenever you have a spare few minutes you want to use productively. A $29 value, this is yours with your membership.)

Access to Low-Cost Resources, Programs, and Tools to Help You
Make the Leap from Having a Boss to Being Your Own Boss

To help you navigate the transition to self-employment, I’ve included another amazing collection at the members-only Fast Track Headquarters. It’s my Quick Start Business Launch Guide

In it you’ll find an astonishing collection of clickable links to free and low-cost resources, programs, and tools to help you make the leap from having a boss to being your own boss. As you well know, there’s lots of money to be made online -- if you know what you’re doing.

You’ll learn about assistance available to new and established business owners in the U.S. and internationally. And there are special sections featuring resources specific to women, people of color, people with disabilities, and people who want to telecommute or work from home.

Plus, I share my “Personal Marketing Rolodex” of top resources to help you profit from online sales.

Now, if I were to put a price on this online access to The Idea Jogger, the Quick Start Business Launch Guide, and my Personal Marketing Rolodex, I’d have charge you at least $79 -- and that would, in all likelihood, allow access for only a limited time. But as it happens, the only people who can access the Fast Track Headquarters are members of the Fast Track Your Dream Community. And your access is free for a full month.

Plus, Members Also Have Convenient
Online Access to Many of the Print Resources They Receive…

What’s more, in addition to these handy Online Resource Guides, also available to members -- free -- are electronic copies of the hardcopy books I’ll be mailing out as part of your FAST TRACK TOOLKIT.

That means you can download eBook copies of --

• The 10 Steps to Escaping the Job World Personal Planner

• Finding Your True Calling

• Yes You Can: The Inspirational Kick in the Pants You Need To Take Control Of Your Life and Go After Your Dreams

• How to Feel as Bright and Capable as Everyone Seems to Think You Are Workbook

That way, you can access the information in these powerful books mere minutes after you join. No waiting for the mail carrier to drop that box at your door. It means you can start on your own exciting journey to discovering your true calling instantly.

Plus, I’m really just getting going here.  

Get Immediate Access to a Team of Experts and
Fellow Dreamers Who Can Guide and Support You
As You Make the Leap to a “Joyfully Jobless” Life

I call this the Fast Track Your Dream “Community” for a reason. And that’s because as a member you don’t just gain resources… you gain a place among kindred spirits.

You get to “hang out” with people who really “get it.” And that means spending time with entrepreneurs who have already made it to “the other side” as well as those who, like you, are in transition. It means being part of a powerful group of people who understand that it really is possible to love what you do.

As a Fast Track Your Dream Community member, you’ll find yourself among a whole community of people there to cheer you on and help you over any rough spots. (And who knows… you might even find a future business partner among them!)

But best of all, as a member of this special community, you have at your disposal people you can ask questions of… people who can focus on your individual dreams and help you figure out what’s right for you…

You see, I’ve created the “FAST TRACKER” Q & A DISCUSSION FORUM for members only, which gives you incredible personalized online support… practical advice about your own situation… and almost immediate answers to any question you have about what it takes to change course.

This forum is the perfect place to go for moral support… ideas… and advice. As a member, you can post a question, and know that there are people out there who are ready, willing and able to respond. It’s like having a team of experts “on call” at all times to answer your questions, pick you up when you’re energy wanes, and cheer on even the smallest of successes.

I know I’m not the only expert out there. And I want you to benefit from the advice of a whole team of accomplished life-change experts.

In just a little over three months the Fast Tracker Discussion Forum has received over 1,350 posts from enthusiastic career changers from around the country… and the world. Members are getting and giving helpful advice on a wide range of dream making topics, such as:

• Brainstorming sessions on interesting ways to make money doing what you love.

• Fast Track members tend to be “idea people” by nature. So there’s even a place for members to share ideas for untapped income streams that are literally up for grabs!

• Helpful “how to” Q&A forums on about a wide range of topics from how to start and grow an online business, to how to develop and market products or services, to how to start a non-profit, and more…

• Hundreds of heads are better than one! Which is why there’s a special forum where members pitch in to help one another troubleshoot and navigate the normal roadblocks that are part of every day life

• There’s even a “Brain Pool and Barter Exchange” where you consult with fellow members who have expertise on a wide range of topics like selling on eBay, creating e-Books and other information products, making money from blogs, writing grants, getting patents, podcasting, designing seminars, business planning, freelance writing, etc. You never know whose brain you may need to pick!

I can’t wait for you to meet and tap into the collective knowledge, creativity, and expertise of the Fast Track Your Dream coaches and other members of the close-knit Fast Track Your Dream Community who are eager to jump in and lend a hand.

To my mind, this interactive, personalized service is probably the most extraordinary resource Fast Track membership provides. I mean, individual guidance like this would typically cost you at least $100 an hour. Say you found a coach to work with you for just one hour a week. Over a month, that fee would add up to a whopping $450.

Yet as a Fast Track Your Dream Community member, this personalized advice from a wide range of experts and others is yours for the taking -- as often as you need it -- free.

Membership is Limited, to Ensure that Everybody Receives as Much Individualized Attention as They Need

Now, because I want to make sure that this cadre of coaches isn’t overwhelmed… that they have the time necessary to give members all the individualized attention they deserve, I’m limiting membership in the Fast Track Your Dream Community.

As I mentioned earlier, when I first started this program, I opened up 200 spots which filled in just over a week. Once those spots were taken, I closed down new membership for just to make sure all the members were getting the support they need.

It looks like so far we’ve been able to handle the demand. So I’m opening up another 50 slots to new members. Once these fill, I’ll monitor things to see if, and when, I can once again start accepting new members.

If you’re really committed to making this the year you follow your dream, if you’re ready to put yourself on the fast track, then I encourage you to act today and reserve one of the few available membership spots.

I’ll tell you how to do just that in a minute.

But first, let me fill you in on the rest of the benefits of membership in the Fast Track Your Dream Community…  

Learn the Income-Generating Solutions You Need to Become
“Joyfully Jobless” in Three Fast Track Teleclasses

As part of your no-risk membership in the Fast Track Your Dream Community, you can listen in any time to all three Teleclasses in my “Jumpstart Your Dreams Series.”

When you join the Fast Track Your Dream Community, you receive lots of additional benefits as well.

For starters, members can listen in to three eye-opening JUMPSTART TELECLASSES -- all designed to deliver the solutions you need to those front-line concerns that can stop you before you even get started…

The truth is there are more ways to turn a passion into an income than you ever thought possible. These live JUMPSTART TELECLASSES will give you a solid foundation to how easy it
can be to change course. This is where I personally teach you how it’s done… how to identify (and grab) the best opportunities… and even how to market your services and products…

TELECLASS 1 -- Finding the Money, Time, and Courage to Quit Your Job and Get a Life

Face it. If you could just up and quit your job to work at what you love you would have done it by now. The fact of the matter is, there’s no one “right way” to change course. You have your own unique financial and life circumstances.

In this online recording I share a whopping 20 ways to transition from being a slave to your day job to becoming  self-employed -- including untapped sources of the money to make your dream come true.

TELECLASS 2 -- Turning Interests into Income: The 5 Hidden Places to Look for Income-Generating Ideas

Creative ideas for viable businesses are literally all around you -- if you know where, and how to look, that is. Find out the key to identifying the very best ones… and the simple but highly effective trick to turning complaints into cash.

Learn my fool-proof “opportunity formula” and the 5 places to find income-generating ideas. Once you start to see how many interesting ways there are to make a living without a job, your mind will quickly begin to translate how you profit from your passions.

Whether you’re already clued into your calling or you still don’t know what you want to be “when you grow up,” listening to this one class alone could very well transform your life.

Once I show you how easy it is to be an “Opportunity Analyst” you’ll probably start thinking seriously about launching your new business -- and life…

If you’re new to self-employment, chances are you could use some expert advice on how to market a product, a service, or expertise. That’s why I created… 

TELECLASS 3 -- Marketing for New Entrepreneurs: How to Market Your Product, Service, or Expertise on a Shoestring Budget

This is where you get to tap into my 7+ years working in the strategic marketing department of a Fortune 500 company and my 20+ years as an entrepreneur and self-employment coach.

You’ll learn:

• How to establish credibility and a track record when you have absolutely no experience

• How to jumpstart your online business by “hiring” a “no salary” sales force eager to sell for you

• How to get the media to give your business free exposure

• How to get a professional web site designed for free

• And more…

As part of your free trial membership in the Fast Track Your Dream Community you’ll have exclusive access to the recorded version of each of these classes. That gives you 30 days to log in to listen in or download these Teleclasses when it’s most convenient for you.

If you paid out-of-pocket to attend all three courses in this initial JUMPSTART TELECLASS series, you’d pay over $100. But as a Fast Track Member, you can access all three FAST TRACK TELECLASSES anytime you want -- free.

But I’m not the only “expert” whose brain you get to tap…
