If You’ve Wondered Where I’ve Been Lately, Here’s The Story

Hey, Bob Regnerus here,

I know it’s been a while since you’ve had an email from me. You’ll find out why in a moment. First off let me say, yes, I’m alive. But I did have a little scare several weeks back. But more on that in a minute…

The fact is, I’ve had to do what every other business owner in this economy has been trying to do – survive. I know that some of you are in a business that has not been terribly affected by the economy. Be thankful.

Several more of you are in decent shape – well down from your highs, but decent enough to not cause too much concern. But for a lot of you, this has been a time of trials and frustrations as things that once worked well for you suddenly stopped working. Even new things you tried to launch didn’t seem to work at all.

Listen – I hear you. I’ve had some clients remain steady with us due to our ability to keep their funnel full and the type of services they provide. Others have had their businesses dry up – the markets left them and of course, with a market that’s dried up, there’s no need for our services. Still others experienced some setbacks and had to start cutting – staff or vendors. Most choose to cut vendors.

So we’ve experienced the whole spectrum, and I have a lot of empathy for those of you that have struggled through this season.

I learned a lot about my staff, my clients, and myself during this time. We learned a great deal about who we should (and should not) work with. We tested new business models and revenue structures. Some with success, some were failures. But we didn’t stop – and that’s key. We’re learning the skill of resourcefulness, which should prove to be a valuable skill over the next decade and perhaps in the future.

Personally, I learned the value of managing stress and anxiety. I shouldered too many burdens and tried to be superman. I worked too many hours and it affected two things that are absolutely critical – eating right and exercising regularly. I internalized so much stress and anxiety, that I finally found myself laying in a hospital bed overnight with what I thought was a heart attack.

After a barrage of tests, it turns out my lack of exercise and ability to manage stress was the root cause. So I really look at this as a blessing, because I got a great wake-up call and it refocused me on my health, my family, my faith, and my business. I took a month off to heal and have just started back to being a CEO again – working on moving the business forward and zeroing in on what we really offer to the market.

That’s what I want to share with you over the next few days.

I am not going to promote anything like an event or webinar. I’m not going to sell a product.

I promise to share with you what’s working and what’s not working, what’s necessary to get people to respond today, what you need to do to get traffic, and what needs to be done to get clients. Along the way, I am going to share with you what we’ve re-engineered ourselves into, and how for a small number of you, will be a solution to your biggest problem.

I hope you will find this interesting. I promise to not waste your time. I look forward to sharing some things with you.

My prayer is these next 5 emails will bless you incredibly and you’ll discover some real world strategies that are working online. No hype, just the real stuff.

Stay tuned and talk to you soon.
