My Review Of Kajabi
Andy Jenkins knows how to make you want it bad. Some of you guys may remember his launch of “Video Boss”. I was completely blown away — not just by the launch materials — but by the platform he was using to serve all those great videos, content, social-media interaction, etc.
Then I saw it again when Frank Kern did “List Control”. Same exact platform. I got suspicious. Then John Reese did it for “Outsource Force” and Jeff Walker used it for “Product Launch Formula 3.0″
I had to have it. So, I called in every favor I had and managed to finagle myself into the Kajabi beta-test program. This thing is absolutely amazing.
Now, I want to tell you up front that there are going to be a lot of people telling you how great Kajabi is. But the truth is that there’s only a couple dozen of us who have been allowed full-access to the system throughout the beta-testing.
So, this is going to be one of the few reviews you’ll read about Kajabi that’s based on 100% user experience.
So, what is Kajabi and why should you care about it? This video will answer the question better than I can put it into words:
Kajabi is a platform and content management system that helps marketers store and deliver content, set up product launches, funnels, squeeze pages, sales pages, run membership sites and so much more. It’s basically the first time in the history of internet marketing that all of these things are under one roof and they’re push-button simple.
Those of you who know me know that I’m not a technical guru. I’m interested in the RESULT….not the “what do I have to click to make it happen” kind of stuff. Using Kajabi for my own projects in the last couple of months has been a breeze.
Drag-and-drop content creation has never been easier. Uploading videos that are automatically configured to play on iPads and iPhones (take THAT Adobe!)…..creating funnels……sales pages……creating a “community” around the content that you provide. Rolling it all out according to your timeline…..it’s never been easier.
Uploading videos is simple. There’s no additional hosting costs and you don’t have to fool with Amazon S3 or any of that stuff. It’s all push-button simple. The social interaction is amazing; comment moderation and interaction between members is remarkable. (As a ListControl customer, I suspect that Frank Kern’s staff had AT LEAST a 75% reduction in customer service tickets because the “side-to-side interaction” between customers allowed members to help members. Without that, everyone would have had to constantly send questions to the Customer Service department. That feature alone probably saved Kern thousands of dollars in customer service expenses over the entire course period.)
Building new content pages is a breeze. You literally just click a button, fill out the forms and Kajabi does the rest, making sure that it all looks JUST AS SWEET as what you saw during the big fancy-pants internet launches by the big boys Kern, Reese, Walker and Jenkins himself. (By the way, Andy Jenkins is one of the masterminds behind this whole thing. And it’s SLICK.)
I can go on and on. I was going to do some walk-through videos but Kajabi themselves is going to be releasing some soon and theirs will be incredible. So, stay tuned.

Subjective Reality (Part One)
Hey guys. This entry is going to be very different from my normal “success”, “make money”, “internet marketing”, “network marketing”, type of entry.
I had a very strange experience recently that I’ve only shared with a few people. I might share it here as well.
But, let me ask you a question: Do you know what the concept of Subjective Reality is?
The basic idea is this:
Objective Reality means that the world exists independently of you. (In other words, this is the model that’s accepted by the vast majority of people on the planet. They believe that the world is a real place that they live in and that — if they ceased to exist — the world as it is would continue to exist.)
Subjective Reality says that the entire world, all the people in it, all the politics, the wars, the sickness, the health, the joy, the happiness, the wealth, the abundance, etc……is all like an ultra-realistic 3D movie that YOU have created for yourself. Some say that you created this experience as a “game”. Some say it’s a life-lesson that you need to learn before you move on to another reality. Opinions vary.
But the point is that — subjective reality (SR) — means that none of this is actually “real” in the literal sense of the word. You’re creating it yourself.
The whole thing came about due to some discoveries in quantum physics and other science that seems to point to the idea that reality is changed by the mere act of observing it. Pretty interesting conversations.
Anyway, the bottom line is this: most of us are familiar with the concept that “you create your own reality” or “you create your own life”. In the case of SR, it’s a bit more literal.
They liken it to something like the movie “The Matrix”. Where everything you see in the world is actually made up by you. Or maybe like a holodeck on Star Trek. You’re walking around in the world….but it’s not actually real.
I’m not sure that I buy into that way of thinking. But, at the same time, I’ve also seen things in my life that I definitely didn’t understand and which seemed to defy the “laws of nature”.
What do you think about this concept? Comment or share your thoughts below. I’m interested!

Think about this:
If you believe that you are creating your own life….then how can you, in the next breath, complain about the challenges you’re facing?
Think about it.
I was talking to Bob the other day about some personal development ideas. He agreed with me that, “Yes, I’m creating my own life. By my thoughts and my beliefs, I create and attract certain experiences into my life. Yes! It’s powerful stuff and I’ve believed this for years!”
Then, the next day, I was asking Bob why he felt he wasn’t as successful in his business as he thought he should be. His answer? “Damn leads. I’m still trying to figure out how to generate good-quality leads. And that’s why I haven’t been as successful as I need to be.”
See the problem?
On the one hand, Bob SAYS he believes he’s creating his own life.
But in the next conversation, he thinks that his life is happening TO him and that it’s out of his control.
Here’s the scoop:
All games have an element of resistance. A game wouldn’t be any fun if you didn’t have an obstacle or opponent to overcome. The World Cup wouldn’t be the most-watched sports event in the world if someone could kick the ball into the net without someone trying to stop him.
So, understand that “resistance” is just part of the game.
So, when you bump into resistance, here are two suggestions I have for you:
First, congratulate yourself for being a powerful creator! “Wow, look at this resistance I’ve created. Wow, I’m quite an amazing creator to have created this kind of opponent in this game. I’m really good at this!”
Secondly, change the game. Change the rules. Change the resistance. Understand that YOU are the person who’s creating it all…..and that you can create something different by how you choose to think, believe and move in that game.
It’s your game. Change it anytime you want.
You can do it.

In July of 2010, Avant held its first event.
It’s not what you might expect.
Enjoy the video!

Let me set the scene for you.
I was broke. Not just “out of money” but “broke” in the sense that I didn’t have any heat in our house….my car was about to be repossessed…..I had deputy sheriff’s leaving debt collector notices on my door….and I had nothing going on that made me think that next week would be any different.
And I ran across some teachings that changed my perspective.
They pissed me off because it said that I was creating my own life by the way I chose to think.
They excited me because they suggested that success was actually simpler than failure….but that I’d been too busy running in place to see that.
They intrigued me because they said that my life was a result of what I focused on…..and that the problem wasn’t “out there”. That — if I would take responsibility for what was “in here” — then the “out there” stuff would change.
Did I believe it?
Probably not entirely. At least not right away. But my life wasn’t working and I was willing to consider some ideas that I hadn’t seen before. (God knows what I’d been doing wasn’t working.)
And a strange thing happened: when I started applying some of these principles…..things started happening. Money started flowing. People were more agreeable to what I was marketing.
I started getting more done with less effort.
I made more sales with fewer leads.
You’ve heard of a “downward spiral of failure”? I was in an upward spiral! And believe me, the ride is just as fast but a lot more fun when the spiral is going UP!
Long story short….I’ve proven these principles in my own life. But I had to find them for myself. Sometimes they were in books written long ago. Or conversations with people who were living the lifestyle I wanted to live. In one case, one of the most important principles came to me in the form of an old vinyl record that had been recorded many years ago.
It wasn’t until several years later that I decided to make a career out of teaching these principles to others. And, fortunately, you can find many of these principles in one place today.
The Elevate Home Study Course is a 72-day home study program that encapsulates years and decades of proven success technologies and presents them to you in an easy-to-use format. As you begin to use your Elevate course each day, you really will begin to see the world differently. It will become obvious to you how successful people became that way……and why many people actually CHOOSE to struggle (even though they don’t always realize it at the time.)
And as you go through the course, you’ll begin to use these principles in your own life…..and you’ll start to experience what I did.
More flow.
Less struggle.
You’ll begin to realize that you really DO create and attract certain situations and circumstances in your life. And you’ll have the ability to change them. Or choose something different.
You’re really quite powerful. You just may not know it yet.
And that’s what Elevate is about.
