The ideal gift

It’s you.

Healthy. Fit. Motivated.

There you go.

I’ll get right to the point tonight as it’s been a heck of a day: people waste a ton of money and a ton of their lives during the month of December. Hey, I’m all for Christmas gifts — great stuff if the meaning is there. But come on — look at some of the things we give our loved ones and ask, “Is this really necessary? Is there anything else I could buy him/her/them that would create more lasting happiness?”

Yes, there is.

Some of you may have received an email from me today touting the new M-Power Family Plan. Since you’re my 10ers, I can cut through the salesy bullsheebachronchie and get to the issue — I spent a truckload of time and cash on making this product family-friendly.

Yeah…me! Family! Friendly! I know…hard to believe. But, it’s true.

It’s also “single friendly” — I cut the price down a few months ago. Honestly, I was making more at the higher cost. Perceived value, I suppose, but I’m confident that more people will have access to this cool stuff now.

A year of audios and personalized one-on-one nutrition and training plans.

Here’s the “majority” thinking this through: Gee…let me think…get my hubby a new 5-iron or a new set of abs, new-found confidence and personal growth that lasts a lifetime…hmmm…

The majority go for the 5-iron. I’m thinking you’re not the majority, but rather the brave minority.

Iron abs and an iron will is far superior, agreed? Good.

So, check it out (again, you won’t see this in sales pitches from people with any sense) — M-Power is already less expensive than a week of personal training — for a year of stuff. Hard to figure out the value there, isn’t it? NO, IT ISN’T. Man!!

At that rate, I was banking less than half. Can you say “hard costs”? Worth it — those bucks I took off the price tag were out of my pocket, but we now have a much larger membership, and I get letters like this almost every day:

I’m writing to let you know that I’m following the M-Power principles and my custom training program, and it just keeps delivering! I’m getting that cardiovascular look in my physique: lean, tight, veins running down my shoulders, arms, a bit on the pecs. Even around the waist, which I haven�t seen since I was 17 or 18!

Or, like this:

Jon, to say you moved me is an understatement. Truth just seems to poor through your M-Power audios and writings. I have never believed in myself before — until now.

You know, dry stuff like that.

Makes my year. Now, I want to make YOURS. And your friends and family are invited.

Here’s the deal: you can still nab M-Power for yourself at less than half price. Just click on that bold link you keep seeing. Yeah, that one. However, you can now do something really cool:

Add friends and family for even more savings.

Let me give you an idea — on a $900+ ticket (that’s enough for a family of devout Mormons), I make a whopping $44 per. Sounds…well, stupid. But it isn’t. I make less money the more people you bring in — but I help change more lives. Which is more important?

That’s like the 5-iron of life if you ask me: make a ton of bucks and help a few, or make a good living and help thousands. Then they spread it on — like a virus on a PC, only it’s a good thing and it doesn’t affect Microsoft stock, which really angers my good friend Pete.

So, between now and the New Year, you can join up for less than half price and have a year’s worth of coaching audios, 90 days of support with a real human trainer, customized meal plans (MasterMeals, of course!) and training programs, and about $200 in freebie bonuses.

Just signing TWO people on (a husband/wife let’s say, or boyfirend/girlfriend, single guy/pet gerbil or single gal/pet snake) saves you over $200 compared to the cost of two single memberships on the M-Power Family Plan.

So, here’s the prices (I’m just saving you time reading a long sales page that, while nifty and full of great testimonies and graphics, is a bit on the excessive side) —

Single Membership: $295

Think about that everyone — you’ll spend more than that on coffee this year, so don’t tell me that a cup of joe from Starbucks is more important than a life changed forever. Puuullleeese.

Couples (two memberships): $395. That’s less than $200 per person. Geez!! I’m nuts.

Three people (great for larger families or groups of friends): $485. You get the point — the more, the merrier, the cheaper. The less money Bingo makes, but the more wonderful email Bingo gets.

M-Power is the first product I’ve ever created that literally has more testimonies and fan mail than we can use on a sales page. No kidding. Just click on any of those links and you’ll see what I mean. Audio testimonies, pictures, professional athletes and fitness jocks, motivational gurus, and a gob of stuff from people — all collected within the first 6 weeks of launching the program! Yeah, freaked me out. Very happy camper, Bingo was…and is.

So, there’s my blog. One long sales pitch — but waterblocker-it, if it’s not the most honest sales pitch you’ve ever heard, let me know. I’ll toss in what I do when no one’s looking for a bonus.

Just kidding.

About the bonus.

You still have to click here now and get started on M-Power today or I’ll take a 5-iron to ya. {10}

I already have the single MPower, and as you say in it, you can share it with family members, and I have been guiding my mom with the things you teach, to keep her motivated as you do for me. It’s probably the best investment I have partaken in as far as my nutrition and health goes; I was lost for nearly a year(transformation only began 2 years ago), wasting money on trainers and other useless catches (Beach Body, Body for Life, fat loss pills, etc) but with your help, it all makes sense to me now; MPower was the missing puzzle peace, you could say. If I was not already a member, I would most certainly take part in this deal.

p.s. The second best investment was BFFM by Tom Venuto, and I wanted to thank you for the conversations with him, they are awesome!

Jon
I have a question about pork.
All of the nutrition always says that the most excellent source of protein is chicken and beef but what about pork and why it is almost never mentioned in the nutritional plans.

I whole heartedly agree with Jonis. Mpower is definatly the best investment I have made in my life.
The second is “Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle” by Tom Venuto

The soon to be third is “Chisel your abs” by Clark Bartram.

All of these are either created, or highly recommended by Jon mind you.

To Anna: This comes from Tom’s Book BFFM.

“Because protein can’t be stored for later use like carbohydrates, it’s necessary to
consume a complete protein in every meal to stay in positive nitrogen balance. Complete
proteins are the highest quality proteins that contain all of the essential and non-essential
amino acids. Your goal on this program should be to include a source of complete protein
with every meal and to eat five to six meals per day. Generally speaking, the most
complete proteins are those that come from animal sources such as eggs, milk and meat.
Complete lean proteins
?? Chicken breast
?? Turkey breast
?? Fish
?? Shellfish
?? Eggs (Mostly whites-use limited yolks)
?? Lean red meats (Top round, lean sirloin, flank)
?? Nonfat or low fat dairy products
?? Milk, egg, or whey-based protein powders.
The obvious problem with animal proteins is that they also contain large amounts
of saturated fat. To get lean and stay lean, you need to keep animal fats low because they
are highly saturated. This is easily achieved simply by using mostly egg whites instead of
egg yolks (Or limiting your egg yolks), lean meats such as turkey breast and chicken
breast instead of poultry thighs, pork and fatty cuts of red meat, only the leanest cuts of
red meat (top round, lean sirloin and flank) and 1% lowfat or non fat dairy products
instead of whole milk dairy products.”

Pick up “Burn the fat, feed the muscle” at www.burnthefat.com. It is a great book and will cover all your questions about nutrition you may have. I hope this helps and good luck in all of your endeavors.

I am on week 20 of the M-Power series and would buy it again in a minute. I have wasted a lot of money over the past 6 years on get in shape quick schemes but we all know they dont work. M-Power is the first thing since my “body for Life challenge”, that I have stuck to. The only reason I stayed with that was because I had 2 workout partners with me. One of us was always ready to kick the other two in the ass! So I totally agree with the workout partner, family, friends whatever it takes…..it works! Canadian dollars are worth way less than American dollars too but I say life is way too short to be stuck in a life or body that you are not happy (or healthy for that matter)in so thats why I invested some money into myself and my family with the M-Power program. Now I have two teenage girls that are conscious about their own eating habits and that is worth more than $300 to me.
