Hi, Profit Designers! As we at
Tap the Potential gear up for a number of special, upcoming
projects, we’re taking this time to bring you some of our most
popular episodes from the vault! We hope you enjoy it, and we’ll be
back with new episodes for you very soon!
In this episode, you're going to
get some great ideas that are really going to get your wheels
turning. Dr. Sabrina talks to Tom Antion, an internet
multi-millionaire who has never had a job. He has been a
professional speaker and entertainer since 1988. Tom has a really
outrageous hiring method that takes guts to implement. Dr. Sabrina
verifies, however, that it's a good method to use, and that it will
work.
Tom is the founder of The Great
Internet Marketing Retreat Center, the only licensed, dedicated
internet marketing school in the country, with the only facility of
its kind in the world. People come from all over the world to study
internet marketing there, in the lap of luxury. Tom also has a new
podcast, called Screw The Commute, where he teaches people how they
could live pretty much two for the price of one, if they didn't
have to sit in their car on the way to work, making other people
rich.
Profit by Design is a Tap
the Potential Production in collaboration with Small Business
Consulting Group.
