Okay, enough is enough. I am sick and tired of small thinking.

I just got off the phone with a self-proclaimed entrepreneur, and I thank him for inspiring a new initiative at The Profit Growth Club.

The individual I just spoke with has great passion for his professional skills and a great service that he is offering. But he lacks any vision or aspirations beyond working a little to make a decent wage. All he wants is a business that lets him work 20 hours a week while making as much as he could make with a low-wage job (enough to "pay the bills" in his words). In other words, he isn't an entrepreneur...just a small-time sole proprietor trying to make ends meet.

I know this guy and I know his skills. With a little bit of coaching, he could create a company that still let him work 20 hours a week, but that brought him home more money in a year than he will make in a lifetime working under his current way of thinking. It would take a few years of hard work, but then everything would be different, forever.

But he doesn't want to put in the hard work now for an easier life later. On the one hand, that's fine, I guess. Everyone makes their own choices in life and that's what makes the country great.

But then again...Maybe I'm overly critical, but I'm finding lots of people like this guy out there these days. I think lots of people are thinking way too small. Lots of people are selling themselves short. Or, as Homer Simpson said in a recent episode, "We never give up until we try one easy thing that doesn't work."

Inspired by this phone call, I am launching a new initiative for Profit Growth Club members. It's simple: I want you to commit to making an additional million dollars in revenue or profits over the next 12-36 months. You choose the timeline. You choose the goal. It has to be at least a million dollars in ADDITIONAL revenue or profits within 3 years time. You can pick a bigger number if you want; life is short so why not shoot for the moon? (I suppose you can pick a smaller number if you don't think you can achieve a million dollars; the process will be the same. But why not set aside your limiting beliefs about what you can achieve, and set a truly audacious goal?).

Go ahead, take a stand. Dream. How do you want to run your business knowing that you are not living a "practice" life?

Regardless of how big you stretch, The Profit Growth Club is going to help you achieve your goal. If you are willing to stick your neck out and declare an incredibly ambitious goal, we will go out of our way to help you succeed.

In addition to our regular content, we are now offering a special coaching track -- at no additional charge to members -- dedicated to supporting and inspiring big thinkers to achieve incredible goals. An extra million dollars won't just happen, and probably you will experience setbacks, limiting perceptions, and some tough emotions along the way. When those issues come up, we are here to help you stay the course. We will also provide you with a system and tools to help you track progress and create a realistic, step-by-step plan for success.

Not a member? Sign up with us and we will fill you in on the details as soon as you join. Why wouldn't you become part of a group of CEOs and entrepreneurs who are totally focused on growing their businesses and achieving audacious goals?

Already a member? Log in and email us your goal. Include a specific, measurable goal and a deadline. We will be in touch to connect you to this new track and keep you accountable.

NOTE: Please know that I am not talking about taking huge risks to achieve at least an extra million dollars in revenue and/or profits. I am not going to ask you to mortgage your home or bet your life savings. That's not the responsible way to grow a business. What I am going to do is help you build on your strengths, aspirations, and work ethic and hold you accountable for doing what it will take to achieve your goals.

I look forward to working with you!
