Marketing Merge Network

Hi everyone,

As you can probably imagine things are pretty crazy around here--Partnering up with Ann Sieg and her team was a GREAT idea (no doubt) but the to-do list to bring you guys everything we are working on is Huuuuuuge.  Somehow we're pulling it off!  Ann has a phenomenal team that make this possible for us (many of them are family, did you know?) 

Her son Isaiah is a 24 year old marketing genius. His friend Andy (also a genius, because "like attracts like") have worked together for years and their friendship goes all the way back to their school days.  Isaiah and Andy work around the clock (literally and have for this project since last summer).  Incredible what they've put into this. 

Their web developer Justin is over the top good (I'm jealous & just glad he's on my team now too by default!).  Isaiah and Justin were also friends from many years ago... about the same age. 

Candace, who support EVERYTHING (somehow) has been with them for a long while, and now that Ann and Candace have moved from completely different corners of the country to live NEXT to each other (buying houses in same area last summer) she is like family too!  Sharp gal, incredible. 

And there's Brian, Ann's husband, one of the kindest most approachable people you'll ever meet deals with all the headaches of business that few have the stamina for... he was in business for most his life so he's got the ability to hold all that part together. Oh, he's an awesome cook too!  Even liked the grilled aligator ;-)

Their other son, David, also assists with the business.  He's Isaiah's younger brother.  I don't know exactly all he's doing over there but with the massive work load I can imagine more of it ends up in his lap than he planned for ;-)

Of course Ann--you know Ann (mom-trepreneur, who home schooled her 3 sons and did an amazing job of it I might add... I can say that because I have spent time with all of them and they truly are wonderful smart people, all very unique and yet one thing in common--thoughtful). Ann's ability to communicate complicate ideas into simple easy to understand messages makes her one of a kind as a teacher in the industry.

There are more on their team, and they all work together like family.  Well, since it is a family business that makes sense ;-)  I've flown out and spent time with them on a couple occasions and I have to tell you, they are such warm people I now feel like I'm part of their family too!  Really, it's just quite unique.  There are others on their team I wasn't able to meet personally--who are also working hard to facilitate this partnership and what you'll see coming soon.  Together, they make an amazing team (Cindy Williams, John in customer support).

Our team here is smaller in size but has the same big heart for helping others.  Barbara Silva, Diyana Alcheva (Didi), Debara Marsden--you know them already.  Aren't they awesome!  We also have a team of developers working on this and other projects coming to you soon (6 developers in total--that's where ALL our money goes ;-)  And then there are the Super-Guides!  They're a big part of our team (maybe more of a JV type thing) but they are still a huge part of what we have going and I can't say enough about how impressed I am with their leadership, particularly in the recent months and even weeks!  They're contributions to the community here have been awesome!

I haven't been able to connect with you for a week or so but wanted you to know we're plugging away over here on a long list of things that are coming down the pike.

I'm working on getting some more training updated into the back office next and then making some massive changes to Renegade University (and then, more and more to do ;-)

While launch is underway, check in at http://www.RenegadeProBlog.com to keep in touch.  Look through the 300+ comments over there and contribute to the conversation.

Talk to you soon!

P.S. Be sure to download the if Attaction Marketer's Manetso if you haven't already.  Also, there are 3 Twitter trainings here you may find very helpful (for absolute beginners). I recommend the 3rd video on that page for everyone to watch about why NOW is the time for Twitter in business (leveraging a moment).
