I’m Humbled…
Wow. Just. Wow.
As I was talking to a potential brain-trust member in Australia last night I mentioned that that I hoped to have about 25 people join to day and I would fill the rest up next week.
Ummm… I don’t think there’s going to be a next week.
I’m past sold-out right now. I figure I’ll keep it open for the rest of the night, but that’s it.
I may have to do some token launch next week to keep my word… but maybe it will be for 10 spots, or something.
I am amazed and humbled that this many people want to be in my brain-trust. It’s cool… and it makes me a little nervous. I feel a weightier accountability.
Thank you.
Also, please be patient while I sort through everything. I not only have to enter you into the system, I also have to verify every purchase with PayPal. It will be tomorrow afternoon before I have everything sorted out. (and when I say “I” what I really mean is my assistant).
I will make contact with every one of you. It will just take longer than expected. I have 293 personal emails in my inbox right now that need to be replied to. Thank you for your patience.
I haven’t slept since Tuesday… so I’m going to bed shortly. It’s been a good birthday.
Remind me later to blog about my first 6-figure day online (yep).
And remind to blog about all the mistakes I made in the setup. Hopefully someone can learn from what I did right… and wrong.
Again… thank you. Great birthday. And next week you’re in for a treat
The order page will be up for another few hours. I’ll take it down when I wake up later.

Wow, great to see that much response. I signed up a few hours ago. This should make for an active community also.
Thanks.
Wilson @ 8:02 pm:
Hi Matt,
Happy birthday!
I signed up this morning too. Looking forward to learn from you.
Hey, why don't you make a tool to verify the emails. It seems you don't like manual work:)
Cheers

@Wilson… if I had any idea this many people would join I *would* have automated it. I was seriously expecting 25, maybe 30 signups today.
I'm looking at some of the people in the group, though… and it's gonna' be a great brain-trust!
Amit @ 8:47 pm:
Congrats, Matt, on a super launch. Lucky day for me as well as Paypal finally worked.
Jason @ 8:58 pm:
This is great to hear almost Sold Out …
Now you know just how popular you really are.
This ought to be one of the most up to date,cutting edge, state of the art communities that there ever was, and there should be no reason that any soldiers should be left behind.
With all the people that are in there now I hope that there is going to no saturation on any of the tactic/methods that are going to taught ?
And the biggest fear that I have and that I know is out of my Control and I can only guess as to how many People have signed up is that with this many people that there is a greater chance to having a bad apple in the group that is going to share and spread around what is going to be taught.

ChuckB @ 9:57 pm:
Another testament to being REAL. Happy b-day Matt.
Mike R @ 9:58 pm:
@Jason, maybe having everyone sign a non disclosure would help deter leaking of methods.
Joseph @ 10:01 pm:
Congrats Matt on your first 6 figure day! I personally would be totally over the moon if I got anywhere near a 6 figure year.
As you can tell, myself and others think what you are offering is far more valuable than what we have paid.
Looking forward to working and learning from you.
Cheers

"I was seriously expecting 25, maybe 30 signups today."
Hey Matt, you are really humbled! By using your Laser URL and Image Ad Builder, I know you are the real deal.
A lot of products sell by sales page only! No real, kick-ass content or tools.
Yours are different. I am hungry for what you will bring to the group!
Kang @ 10:49 pm:
Happy Birthday Matt!
Looking forward to the materials you'll be offering.
I've never paid so much for a membership before, but something tells me I'm gonna make it all back in a hurry

Tiny @ 8:43 am:
So, would it be safe to assume you have ~293 members in this brain trust? And, if you open it to 10 more on Tuesday, that'll give you ~300 members.
Do you have plans on setting up a forum where we can all begin to "find a seat" and get ready for the program. Even before the big show there's always a few (like me) who show up early to mix and mingle with the other attendees. Any possibility of something before Tuesday?
tomartomartini @ 9:24 am:
@Matt"I feel a weightier accountability." Of course
we trust you.This is your baby and you set the BAR:also
this is really about you Matt[me also]and what happens
is a reflection of your inner soul.The voyage is about
to begin in to unchartered waters for all of us ; thats exciting-wow!
Zen @ 10:12 am:
Matt, if you're all sold out, let's get this party going!
With the Amazon/holiday thing looming, we don't have an hour to waste.
Congratulations on your big day, btw. Now the work begins.
Elango @ 10:56 am:
Happy Birthday Matt (belated wishes)

@Jason
I understand where you are coming from, but as far as bad apples go I will choose to believe that there won't be any in our group. Besides, as I believe Matt said, nowadays it is more about speed and ability to implement rather than just knowledge.
I also have very high hopes for the group in terms of how many take action. I guess that in most programs less than 5% of people take any meaningful action (it is probably much less than that figure). I have been in private forums where the numbers of people having success have been much, much higher and this has affected the whole group and spurred many more onto success than I think would have done otherwise. With the quality of leadership and the calibre of people involved here I am hoping that this 'critical mass' effect will be in evidence once again.
Vik @ 5:27 pm:
@Jason..
I had the same concerns and thought more about it and realized that we should be able to do something about it.
Most of us know of those black hat forums and guru blogs that post information on IM, we need to keep an eye out for anyone posting any of the ideas that are shared here…
@mharward…please don't host anything on Amazon S3 servers…people seemed to have figured out how to break into them..(I'm sure you're already aware of this flaw in Amazon S3 servers).

Jason @ 7:46 pm:
Thanks Guys for all the replies , I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that is thinking about the possible concerns .
I'm sure that Matt has thought of all the concerns also or else he would have never of wanted to what he is doing now for us .

Jesus, what a clusterfuck this all is…
