Venture Capitalist Vampires on Alexander

It was 2010.

I was sitting in a café at the Gold Coast airport.

I was on the phone to New York with a dripping rich Venture Capitalist, who had previously been with Sequoia and now freelanced with his own money.

He couldn't understand why our work was not better known.

"I've done a lot of these new-fangled things…" he remarked, "…and the thing about Alexander," he ventured "is that it works."

I agreed, of course, then he asked me:

"Why isn't it better known?"

Right at that time I was trying to set up BodyChance in Sydney - a project that took a year of my time - almost losing me a lifelong friendship - and it drained my bank account of $40,000.

"I want to support it, but I am not Santa Claus. I need to make money too. Is it possible?"

I didn't know any of my future failures THEN, so I sparkled and fizzed on about how to make Alexander pay. I shared my experiences in Japan, and what I was trying to do in Sydney.

The big, long-term picture.

After listening carefully, he finally remarked:

"You're the first person who've made any sense to me about this business."

And I talked him out of investing. Because my message was simple:

Alexander is Industrial.

I told him he is unlikely to make money quickly on Alexander - he needed to think in years, not months. Even in decades, not years. He didn't have the passion for that.

But people who have studied Alexander's discovery - who have spent 4 years of their life and between $30,000~$50,000 of their money - you do have the passion.

Alexander is Industrial is correct for your individual practice - building a successful career takes time. I keep saying it, and people continue being surprised that it takes so long to understand.

In Japan, I am soon reaching the 20-year mark, and the time is coming when BodyChance will move up another notch, becoming even more of an "industrial" company.

One person who has been working consistently in a wholly different way from me is Rossella Buono. She did not set out to open a teacher training school - she just loves giving lessons to people.

AND this is her full-time job.

What marks us both out as similar is our consistency.

We never give up.

And this is the secret - if it was ever really a secret…

Consistency over time.

By all rights, Rossella should fail. She doesn't niche - as I advise in ATSuccess, although she does use a clever version of it - she doesn't have an avatar - instead seeking out random people for many different walks of life. And she feeds her individual sessions out of a regular group she runs every week, and has done for many years.

Next month in MasterMinders she is going to lay it all out for you.

And I will be contributing how you adapt her plan to your situation. We will meet six times in all - recorded if you have to miss a session. There will also be two content videos that summarise the whole process.

And - if you register now - you can start viewing my "Group Teaching Discovery Course". Especially if you have been teaching groups a long time, you will find my material there of great interest to you.

It's MasterMinders for January - you can join at this link…
