A great example is Tim Ferriss -- the author of the best-selling "The Four Hour Work Week" because he was able to gain 34lbs of muscle and at the same time lose 3 pounds of fat in just 28 days.
The best part? He only worked out for 30 minutes... two times per week... for a TOTAL work out time in the gym of ONLY 4 HOURS!
To build your very own dream body like Tim Ferriss did in just 28 days, keep reading to see the six simple steps he followed to make it happen!
Here's the list, from his blog...
"1. Do one-set-to-failure from Arthur Jone's recommendations from the little-known Colorado experiment, but reduce the frequency (a maximum of twice a week)... and have at least 3 minutes between exercises.
2. Do every repetition in a 5 seconds up, 5 seconds down (5/5 cadence). This eliminates momentum and ensures a constant load.
3. Exercise your entire body each workout to elicit a maximal hormonal (testosterone, growth hormone + IGF-1) response and do this by focusing on no more than 4-7 multi-joint exercises (leg press, trap bar deadlift, dips, incline machine benchpress, overhead press, Yates bent row,etc.)
4. Follow a high protein protein diet with low-glycemic index carbos like quinoa, but (and this is IMPORTANT) drop calories by 50% one day each week to prevent protein uptake downregulation.
5. Because your recovery abilities can only increase 20-30%, while you can often increase fat-free muscle tissue up to 100% before reaching a genetic set-point... you need to exercise less frequently as you increase strength and size.
6. Record every workout in detail. Record: the date, time of day, order of exercises, repetitions, and weight lifted. Because this is an experiment -- you need to control the variables to accurately see your progress and be able to make adjustments to ensure progress."
That's it! Just six simple steps!
Those are the simple six steps that form the guidelines you need to follow in order to build the body of your dreams in just four hours of gym time. Now you can do it too.
Mr. Ferriss also says to use this exact same outline if you want to burn off pounds of fat and not put on any size (which is what most female trainees have as a goal). Here is what he says from his blog:
"For the ladies not interested in becoming the Hulk, if you follow a "slow-carb" diet and reduce rest periods to 30 seconds between exercises, this exact workout protocol can help you lose 10-20 pounds of fat in the same 28-day time span."
There's no excuse now! You only need to workout for four hours over the next 28 days and you can build 30 lbs of muscle mass... or... shed up to 30 pounds of fat! Now it's time to get to work!
Without a doubt, marketing your product, your service - or anything for that matter - is one of the most difficult and costly ventures one could possibly undertake. Unfortunately, this painful process is also one of the most crucial components of your business. You can have the greatest product in the world - but if nobody knows about it, then you might as well just close up shop.
And to make matters worse, not only is marketing expensive and time-consuming, it's also "hit and miss" at best. One ad might bring you a ton of sales, another might bring some, and many ads won't produce a single sale or lead. There are so many variables involved when it comes to marketing your business successfully - so I'll just get straight to the point...
Marketing isn't fun. It's expensive, frustrating, time-consuming and many times, very disappointing.
Now - before you throw in the towel on bringing your business to the market - let me tell you about the world's most powerful marketing strategy. It costs you absolutely nothing up front, it's the most targeted campaign imaginable - and by it's very nature, it's completely RISK FREE.
What is it?
It's called a "Joint Venture" - or "Strategic Alliance". And this single strategy has been responsible for generating the fastest fortunes on this planet. It's certainly not a "new" strategy by any means, but its effectiveness is still completely unmatched by any other form of marketing.
How does it work?
Very simply, a joint venture is a partnership with another business that already has what you need - a client base. To establish this sort of partnership, what you would do is approach a similar business to yours, make them an offer to promote your product (or service) in exchange for a significant share of the profits, and then set things up so that everyone wins. They create more profits out of thin air just by promoting your product - while rake in a ton of sales from ultra-targeted leads that you would have NEVER had otherwise...
You don't spend a penny unless you sell something - and if your partner has a substantial, targeted and "warm" client list, then both of you will generate an enormous amount of revenue just by having them tell their clients about your offer.
In fact, this is by far the easiest way to pull a fortune out of thin air - almost effortlessly. If your partner reaches your target market - and if they already have an established client base - then you'll be reaching serious leads that already have a relationship with your partner - and, unlike an ad, your offer won't be reaching a "cold crowd". You'll be reaching the most responsive leads you could ever imagine...
...and your profits from a promotion to a large, "warm" client-list will be massive.
Now, at this point, you might be thinking, "Well, that sounds nice, and it makes sense - but how can I possibly convince the "big players" in my industry to partner with me?"
Well, that's a vaild question. But what if I told you that thousands of entrepreneurs have created a fortune out of thin air using this strategy - using this exact strategy - even though they had no market presence, no "credibility" and no connections within their industry?
It's absolutely true.
You see, all it takes is to actually get out there and make an offer. Make some calls. Write some letters. Put yourself in your potential partner's shoes, and make your offer truly irresistable.
Do this enough times, and I can guarantee you that you'll see some explosive results if your product is in demand (and your offer is solid).
You now have everything you need to literally bypass the painful process of traditional marketing, and take the "shortcut" to success with your business.
Construct an offer that will appeal to your prospects - and put yourself in their shoes while your writing it. Pitch that offer to at least 40 potential partners in your industry - and watch your revenues soar, without spending a single dime on advertising.
Always remember that you're only ONE partnership away from a fortune...
