Promotional offer concluded

[Lashley]

Thank you for making our kick-off promotion a success. The Warrior discounts have now ended.

Hi Shane,

I've read through your sales page and listened to your audio but am still somewhat unclear as to the specifics of how what you teach can be applied.

Can you provide some specific examples of how one might use the information you share to profit?

Dana.

[Lashley]

Hi Danadane, thanks for the question.

In the very first two lessons we cover this in detail. We show you how to create a portfolio approach to these types of assets so that your near-term and long-term goals are supported by what you do here. We even walk you through a scenario that does a quick review of 16 different assets and the role they play in your hypothetical portfolio.

We go on in subsequent modules to address the sourcing process, organizing, basics of valuing and then transacting the assets with third-parties. This takes you through the entire cycle of identifying, selecting, securing, profiting from and finally turning the asset over in a final transaction.

We teach some of the mechanics of "how" but you decide the "how" you wish to incorporate it into your overal IM life. It could be a side dish or the main course. It could be what you do for your long-term financial needs or it could be something you do to meet short-term needs. That part is for you to decide and we help you customize a plan and our content so that you can take the actions necessary to pursue your own goals.

But in the end, it is about revenue, high-valued assets, a portfolio approach and doing things at an individual level the big companies have been doing for years - and most people don't know how to do at this level, much less that they can do it through a blog. It's almost comical that its come this full circle. But it has.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Shane

Shane,

Thanks for your reply; but I think I'm going to request that you break it down even further into layman's terms - speaking to those of us who have no experience in intellectual property lingo. For example, as I read this:

....I have no earthly idea what you mean.

I get that you will show us how to create a portfolio and assess different assets. But what are the types of assets you're speaking of? How much will these assets cost us to secure them for our portfolio? Do you have any real-live "case study" examples of how this works?

Side-note question: Are you speaking of the same process real estate investors use - buy property below market value and then flip for profit?

Dana.

Hi Danadane,

Glad to answer your question.

With regard to the kind of assets we are focused on, we are talking about innovations (which can be pre-product or product stage) that are attached to pending or issued patents, copyrights, trademarks or trade secrets. We include in that group innovations/products that may not yet have such protections but which may ultimately be protected by patent application, copyright filing, trademark, etc. All the assets are innovations - some will already be products, some will be sitting on a shelf waiting to become products, some will be digital, some will be physical.

How much will it cost you to obtain the asset? Great question. You decide the answer by focusing on assets within your comfort zone. That's like asking how much is a house. It depends on why you want it and your resources and a long list of other variables that change from person to person. The course was designed to help companies and individuals. Some people will take the course to create a personal income that replaces a job, a spouses job, other IM income that isn't what it once was, or other form of "micro-business" income. Others will take the course because they can't spend $25 million of company money on the next roll-out so they need to find an approach that works for their budget. Their budget will be remarkably different than the micro-business budget. You get the assets that fit your budget and your goals.

Case study, in the course, I do discuss a situation where nearly $30 million of IPR (intellectual property rights) was purchased for $55,000. I talk about how the drivers that caused that situation will only increase and we discuss specifics on how to find them. Some people can put $55,000 on their Visa without blinking. Others couldn't come up with $55,000 if their life depended on it. The point is to learn how to find what works for you and take it from there. As your portfolio grows, so does your capacity to pick up opportunities that today may seem out of reach.

Is this like flipping real estate? I suppose you could draw some comparisons. There are important differences. Not all IPR requires any up front payment to acquire. Nearly all real estate requires the assumption of debt or a liability. IPR doesn't have to work that way. You may be able to acquire IPR with no debt, no payment, no liability. It varies. So the comparisons are not 100%. You typically won't be "flipping" the actual IP (the patent itself or the copyright). That does happen but it is not the norm. There are usually better and more profitable ways to "flip" the deal. We cover 16 different transaction structures as they are applied to this type of asset class (IP).

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Shane

[Dana Sanders]

Thanks, Shane. Your responses are very helpful and I hope that my questions will assist others who read your sales letter but don't understand the concepts you describe.

You mentioned:

Not all IPR requires any up front payment to acquire. Nearly all real estate requires the assumption of debt or a liability. IPR doesn't have to work that way. You may be able to acquire IPR with no debt, no payment, no liability. It varies.

This comment in particular is of major interest as many folks, myself included, have limited monetary resources to work with on the front end. Can you tell us if the types of IPRs that require no upfront capital are abundant or would these fall into the "exception to the rule" category or be highly competitive to attain?

Also, in sourcing the assets or "flipping" the deal, would we be required to do any cold-calling, telemarketing, or direct mail? Or can we find all the resources we need from the comfort of our home using our computers?

Dana.

[Lashley]

Dana,

The low cost/no-cost assets are not the exception, especially in this economy. You'll find people/companies willing to work with you and distressed situations alike. We cover both. I did some testing last week with no real genius effort and no money and came away with opportunities I'm now pursuing now.

As far as whether they are highly competitive to attain, I really believe this is the first ecourse in the country on this subject so I know there are no "Joe the Plumbers" fighting it out for these opportunities. This is truly virgin territory for the average person on the street. Some situations will have competitive elements but when you hear how I watched a guy buy $30 million in IPR with $55,000 and turn that into a company he later sold for MILLIONS, you'll see part of what helped him was the lack of competition on that deal. People know to find real estate deals but the public has no idea this industry really even exists. Some corporate investors do, some angel investors will try to snatch things up from time to time. But for the most part is a really big ocean with very few boats and even fewer ocean liners in the water. You have plenty of room, I think.

No telemarketing or goofy stuff like that is required. Depending on which strategy you adopt and your own goals, you'll probably reach out to a company or individual you have never met before but it's very conversational and everything can be done from a laptop and cell phone. You'll identify them yourself and decide for yourself whether you wish to contact them. There is relational component to this - you have to enjoy dealing with people enough to make it a good experience for them to work with you. But it's not dialing for dollars or mining a list or wading through any of that kind of swamp.

Again, great questions.

Thanks,

Shane

"75% OFF. That means you pay $24.25"

Is that the "recurring" fee for Warriors?

[Lashley]

It is a one-time fee - no recurring fee. One time for 97 days access and interaction. And yes, it is ONLY for Warriors. Not giving others 75% off. Feel the love yet?

[Bigdadda]

Good stuff. I signed up. Look forward to the course.

BTW, I have not received login info yet:

Shane,

3 questions, if I may.

1. Your course teaches participants how to be no-money-down "financial operators" (like those who operate in corporate promotions and M & A field) but in this case, they'll be operating in the IPR sphere?

(Ps. to above question: I'm not clear WHAT it is the course will be teaching me, even after reading your answers. Sorry )

2. What happens after 97 days? Access to the course is terminated?

3. Is this concept limited only to the US, or can anyone do it in any country?

Thanks for any clarification.

Kenneth

[Lashley]

Thanks for the questions, Kenneth.

1. I don't think I would draw those comparisons. We teach you how to use IPR to achieve your financial goals. There are multiple techniques and approaches. I don't think I would compare it to corp promotions or M&A field. Neither of those takes possession - they are brokers. You can do the broker route in IPR if you want, but I don't recommend it per se. Whether there is money down or not depends on what you are trying to do and the industry and opportunity you target.

We teach you how to use all categories of IPR in concert with blogs to create powerful economic opportunities that match your short-term and long-term goals.

2. We are working on an advanced version of this product now. We plan to have that ready when the 97 days is complete. We may elect to keep this program open for those who want to remain at this level but there will be an additional fee - monthly, one-time, not sure yet.

3. Not limited to US. The US leads the world in the number of patents filed but other countries are leading in terms of their actual adoption of particular innovations. The methods we teach can be applied anywhere. They are business-based. I'm not aware of any legal restrictions in other countries and I have experience in Europe, Australia and parts of Asia. However, it is always good to double check a particular course of action with local rules ahead of time. Once you decide on the approaches or strategies that seem to fit your needs, you'll have the info necessary to make the inquiry with your own legal counsel, should you decide it necessary to do so.

Thanks,
Shane

Hmmm...this is looking very interesting.

We teach you how to use all categories of IPR in concert with blogs to create powerful economic opportunities that match your short-term and long-term goals.

Without giving away the store, could you elaborate a bit on how blogs fit into this?

Thanks.

Kenneth

[Lashley]

Not really possible to get into the "how" too much here without giving away the store. However, if you'll go to my blog at Innovative Economy you find 4 or 5 posts on blogs as conduits for products/companies to connect with markets. That is the very tip of the iceberg. What I'm covering in the course is what is below the waterline of the iceberg.

[Dana Sanders]

Shane,

I'm in also. However, wasn't able to log in after payment (error codes show up on your login page). Your assistance is appreciated.

I've signed up for your free ecourse.
I understand IP (my son owns this TinyURL.com - shorten that long URL into a Tiny URL ) and some of the other concepts here... and the price is real nice, but...

It seems I'd be getting the equivalent of a ebook/reports and video training course (granted, with "interaction") which, if I haven't totally mastered it in 97 days will cease to function and not even be available to me as reference material (even without the interaction). Or-- it might remain available "but there will be an additional fee - monthly, one-time, not sure yet."

Obviously I'm really interested. But could you (or the company) make a decision (on continued availability of "this level") and post it here.

I still work full-time. There's days I just don't have time to even get on the net. I'm not sure I could handle this time limit and actually "learn" the stuff.

Thanks,

[Lashley]

Hi LeeSr. Fair question, so let me give you a detailed answer.

When someone's 97 days conclude we will give them the option of either (1) upgrading to an advanced course (for an additional fee) that will appeal to those who need and want new challenges/opportunities; or (2) remaining active in the current course for a monthly fee of $97 while they conclude their work.

I do not think what you get is consistent with most ebooks or instructional videos. There are some great ones out there but the ones we purchased and/or reviewed in our research phase did not provide the "build your own plan" structure or the mentoring we offer. Also, this content is rather unique so I don't think it lends itself to an ebook format. The interactivity is a huge part of the skill transfer process. It's not like there are dozens of these products on the market, so the interactivity is very important.

But your concern seems to be whether you'll get through the entire process in 97 days, given your other obligations. I think you will for one very basic reason: you will be working on the topics and projects you create. If it were static, chapter by chapter content, I'd be more inclined to share your concern. But this is content that effectively says, "let's start with your goals, interests and immediate sources of IP and build from there....and then we'll add sources, techniques, processes on top of that base."

When it's about you, you'll think about it and make the time happen. When its about 'schoolwork' it will be on your to-do list. Your boss, your partner, your son, or someone in your "regular schedule" will start to have problems you will recognize and you'll start turning to this material to help you with your scheduled responsibilities, not in spite of them.

Another perspective to consider is this: we charge over $200/hr each to interact with clients normally, and this content is going to help you create your own plan. Even if you only get part of the way through it, you have received far more value than you would had you waited until another time or just not even tried.

In 97 days you will likely have incorporated this into your life at a level that either allows you to move forward without further assistance from us, or you will have sufficient interest and progress to justify continued involvement at the price points for the advanced or just staying in this program with continued help.

I understand the reluctance. I really do. It can seem like a lot with the holidays, work, etc. But I don't think you will be a passive student trying to get your $24 worth of value 97 days from now. I think you'll be an active user who either wants to take a little more time to perfect something in this course, or you'll be ready to take on the world through the advanced material we offer.

It is entirely possible that if you incorporate this into other work activities you will move through much faster than you think and you may be contacting me asking if you can get advanced access to the advanced content.

That will be a nice problem for both of us!

Thanks,

Shane
