BTS reaction - you get pulled off stage by fans during a performance

A/N: Hi everyone! This was requested by @slowlyandrogynouskryptonite. If you have a request for a reaction or oneshot, send me an ask or message me. I publish requests in between uploads of my two regular AUs.

You’ve been in the industry for a while, and you know how crazy some fans can get. Most of the time it was them trying to get a little close once they got excited, but occasionally worse things could happen.

You were performing at the MMAs after your third studio album broke sales records in several countries, and the music video for the single you were performing tonight had reached 500 million views in the shortest amount of time for a solo artist.

The crowd had been good all night, your boyfriend’s group, BTS, having gone about twenty minutes before you. They were in the audience now, jamming along to the pre-chorus.

You walked right up to the edge of the stage so that you could get closer to the fans, high-fiving some, hands latching on to yours for the moment of skinship they had dreamed about.

Before you could stand back up, a strong arm tugged you off balance, and you just about fell into the crowd, more and more hands pulling you down, until security guards were running on stage and through the audience to try and pull the screaming fans off of you.

JUNGKOOK

Jungkook didn’t see it as it happened. Namjoon had just spilt his water bottle onto Jungkook by accident, and as his head was bent down, trying to dry off the fabric of his jeans with a napkin, it was the screams that caught his attention.

As he looked up, all he could see was that you were no longer on stage. He stood up and looked around wildly, watching in horror and confusion as black clad security members converged on a particularly aggressive throng of audience members. One of his hyungs was holding on to his hand, but he didn’t want to look away for a second to see who it was.

After what felt like an eternity of anxious anticipation, the glitter of your dress caught his eye, and you were lifted back onto the stage.

He let out a cry of relief, and watched in admiration as you brushed yourself off, and caught up with the lyrics of the song as the chorus ended and moved into the second verse.

For the rest of the song his eyes never left you, scared something would happen again, and his legs bounced nonstop, itching with the impatient need to join you backstage after the song ended.

Fuck the afterparty. The two of you were going to have a quiet, calm night in tonight.

TAEHYUNG

Taehyung was in the middle of waving to you joyfully from his seat when it happened. No matter how much time you spent later reassuring him it was fine, he would always blame himself for distracting you.

One moment you were grinning back at him, hitting the right notes like it was breathing, and the next, a yelp from your mic echoed out through the arena as you were pulled off stage.

He froze, unable to think or act until he saw your hand reach up through the crowd and latch onto the arm of a beefy security man on stage, and lift you back up.

Once back on stage, and stable, you rushed away from the edge of the stage, continuing the song but staying very far away from any fans. Though nobody would judge you for it, everyone could hear the confidence and power had left your voice, and the rest of the song felt a little more somber than what had come before as you tried to keep the runs in line and the belts from wobbling.

It wasn’t until Yoongi quietly handed him a tissue that Tae realized he was crying.

JIMIN

Jimin couldn’t help himself but want to be there the second you left the stage after your performance, so he always snuck backstage just after the intro. He knew how exhilarating it felt to leave the stage after a job well done, and that was something you always wanted to share with him.

He couldn’t see you very well from the wing he was behind once you left the main center of the stage, but because he’d be seen if he snuck out any further, he waited.

Out of nowhere, you stopped singing and he heard the music cut off, followed by a tremendous uproar.

Ignoring protocol, he stepped out onto stage and faltered when he saw you half-on, half-off the edge of the stage, a hand wrapped in your hair, trying to pull you fully off.

The security on the floor were trying to push through the crowd, but with very little success, and the on-stage members were nowhere to be found.

Without thinking, Jimin rushed forward to you and began prying open the fingers of the hand stuck in your hair, finally breaking you free and pulling you close to him.

With the music cut off, the only sounds most of the arena could hear were the fans themselves, but Jimin was close enough to hear something else.

You buried your face into his chest and began to cry.

He sought out his members’ faces in the crowd and jerked his head to the wings, indicating they should go backstage, then gently carried most of your weight and escorted you off stage, holding on to you tighter than he ever had before.

NAMJOON

It tore Namjoon up inside, seeing the chaos that unfolded, but feeling like he had to stick with his team. He couldn’t abandon his brothers as much as he wanted to run to you. The security would handle it, and he knew deep down he would just be putting himself in danger if he tried to get all the way through the crowds from behind the mosh pit.

He bounced his knee and put his face in his hands, peeking around his fingers and praying you were okay.

The maknaes were all freaking out themselves, but Hoseok was holding on to Namjoon tightly and Yoongi and Jin were reassuring both him and the youngsters that everything would be fine.

And they were right.

You were lifted back onto the stage less than thirty seconds after the tumble, and you seemed more surprised than anything else, continuing your song as bouncy as you were before, but with a slightly startled look in your eyes.

Namjoon only relaxed when you saw him at their table and flicked him a heart. He mouthed back ‘I love you’ and forced himself to cheer up, applauding and hooting like mad when the song finished.

HOSEOK

Hoseok didn’t get mad often. Even when he wasn’t bouncing off the walls, he felt like a pretty cheery person.

But when a psycho fan overstepped the line and held on to you with far more force than was appropriate, causing you to fall off kilter in your heels and slip off stage, there was no putting up a brave face.

The other members all looked terrified, but whether it was for your safety, or because of the deadly look in his eyes, he couldn’t say. His mouth was in a tense line, jaw clenched, and he glared at the pitiful efforts of the staff members trying to help you back onto stage.

He had told you time and time again not to do fanservice for too long. The crazy fans got too excited and decided to try things they shouldn’t.

Yet you never listened to him, always insisting your fans were angels.

After a few moments of chaos, your voice rang out through the arena again as you picked up on the second verse, and he spotted you on stage again, joining your backup dancers rather than spending any more time at the front.

Although he was no longer worried for your safety, the dark expression remained. After he was done with you tonight, you wouldn’t disobey him like this again.

YOONGI

Playing nice with the whole celebrity thing was something Yoongi had had to learn as Bangtan grew more and more popular. But it was also something he was very quick to forget, in moments like these when people crossed a line.

His heart plummeted in his chest when you toppled off stage, and it was Namjoon’s solid grip on his wrist that kept him from recklessly running into the fray himself.

He stood, anchored by the leader, trying to catch a glimpse of what was going on, feeling sick at the thought of something bad happening, when finally, you appeared back on the black surface of the stage, not singing, not moving, just sitting there staring blankly up at the muscled man who had lifted you up.

He curled his lip in anger when your fans started yelling and chanting at you to keep seeing, as you tried desperately to keep your composure.

On the screens on either side of you, he can see you cover up your mic and say something to the man, who promptly helps you up and escorts you off stage.

Namjoon is urging him to sit down, but the fans don’t stop chanting, like they’re expecting you to come back out just because they want it, and the music keeps obstinately playing, and he just can’t take it anymore.

He shakes off the grip on his arm and hurries backstage to find you.

JIN

Jin didn’t like showing worry or concern in front of the public, in front of ARMY. He was the carefree jokester, and he felt comfortable like that.

He had never wanted to throw down the title so quickly as he did in that moment.

You got tugged off by the arm, but your top half was still on stage, free hand grappling at the slippery floor to try and pull yourself free.

He watched with open mouth and wide eyes as you struggled for ten or so seconds, only breaking loose after the venue security intervened and restrained the fan that was responsible.

You scoot back before standing up shakily. You missed the chorus, and there’s a few bars of choreography before the second verse, but instead of dancing, you call out on your mic breathlessly “maybe I should just perform from down there next time, huh?”

You finished off the song just as flawlessly as you had begun it, and Jin slowly felt his heart return back to its regular speed, dancing to the music goofily like nothing had happened.

You two could talk about it later, if you wanted to. For now, he was going to enjoy his girlfriend’s amazing performance.

An economic hell without bars | Business

The state of alarm has left the San Miguel (Madrid) market empty, always crowded.Claudio Alvarez / EL PAIS

A few days before the state of alarm, Antonio Vázquez decided to close his two hotels in Le��n and his five restaurants by the By Vamuca group, one of them in Madrid. “It looks like we've been four months and we've been four days,” he snorts on the other end of the phone. Does damage count. “On Friday (around the 13th) we fed, but canceled the dinners. Hosted customers checked out on Saturday. Then it was not very clear the scope of a cessation due to force majeure. ” Two days later the state of alarm began. The sequence that relates in his business is lived these days by thousands of companies: ERTE for the majority of the workforce and the few who telecommute attend to the paperwork of clients, suppliers, taxes or cancel the weddings and communions planned for Easter. The economy goes out to save lives and the country of the sun and tapas shows that it can go a few weeks without its 183,306 bars, 78,950 restaurants and 16,600 hotels. At least for now.

The fade to black has triggered an economic shock never seen before in a sector that employs 1.7 million people and generates 123.6 billion euros, 6.2% of GDP. Between March 1 and March 21, Infojobs records that 75% of job offers on the so-called Horeca channel (hotels, restaurants and cafes) have disappeared from its platform. Perhaps carelessly there are those who are still looking for a waiter or receptionist.

“The sector is experiencing a very strong hiatus”, they admit from Damm. 60% of its Mediterranean beer is consumed through this channel. When everything exploded, they began to accumulate stock in their warehouses but, as the days passed, they stopped producing the formats for bars and restaurants (returnable containers and barrels), which only partially compensated with the production for supermarkets and convenience stores. feeding. “Brewers are very affected by it. Let us consider that these months mark the opening of the terraces. Our consumption is closely linked to the enjoyment of sporting and musical events ”, they say. Also to an international tourism that will not return, at least in the short term. From the Spanish Brewers Association, its director Jacobo Olalla paints a bleak scene: 67% of beer is consumed outside the home. It represents between 25% and 40% of the net income of the bars. “There is a lot of employment associated with it, from sales representatives to technical maintenance services for barrels at almost 300,000 points of sale.”

The same occurs in the meat and fishing sector. The 30,000 professionals who go to sea in Spain are devastated by the plummeting price of fish markets in recent days. Without restaurants, the slaughterhouses are not having a good time either. The demand for products such as chicken has risen in the supermarket, but the collapse caused by the closure of restaurants and fast food outlets has begun to be noticed. UPA warns that the damage is already being felt, especially in the sheep-goat and pig sectors. “The restaurant is the main destination for suckling pigs and suckling pigs, products that Spaniards are today little used to cooking at home,” say the union. Without tourism, in addition, many small cheese factories can be affected.

José Luis Yzuel, President of Hospitality of Spain, is about to break the virus but is still coughing. He complains that the government's measures come in small print, such as the one that forces him to keep his job for six months in exchange for benefiting from aid for the ERTE. “It is mixing churras with merinas. Why is a compulsory aid tool given a tagline in a sector that works seasonally, where each establishment is different? Do we believe that when this is over, people will go out to drink canes and hug each other? ” This is what public aid has, which requires certain commitments. Another thing is if they will be successful. “Large companies have all the solutions, but there are none for small ones and you need to continue selling to make ends meet,” he protests. He understands that legislating in a pandemic is difficult, but appeals to the sensitivity of the Administration. “We are an absolutely flexible sector, with the crisis we suffer, but we endure the pull. Now we don't depend on us, but on the response of the market ”.

Indeed, in the last 20 years, with a great recession in between, employment in Spanish restaurants has doubled thanks to increasing tourism. And in the last five years the boom has been spectacular, in quantity and quality. Gonzalo Fuentes, head of Hospitality and Tourism at CC OO, appeals to that brilliant past so that he regrets so much and puts his shoulder closer. “We come from 10 years of prosperity. They have made more money than ever and now there are unscrupulous people who do not want to keep a job. We are very concerned about the discontinued posts, we are talking about thousands of workers who were hired for Easter and who are going to stay at home ”. He relates that two weeks before the global alarm was unleashed, in early March, many hotel chains were already turning off the tap with layoffs. “If the summer comes bad we will see, but we cannot speak of ruin now when we have been closed for two weeks,” he complains.

The problem is that it's not just them. Behind bars or coffee shops is a chain of suppliers perhaps longer than the RNA of the virus. José Manuel Fernández, general director of Fedishoreca, the union federation, relates, for example, how the distributors have remained (there are some 4,000 in Spain). “There is only a little work left in serving service areas, especially drinks.” The points of sale begin to communicate that they will not pay the pending receipts, at least until the situation is clarified. And that unleashes a wave backwards. “In hospitality in general, where the self-employed and small companies stand out, they will not have the liquidity to reopen, buy, supply themselves … If, for example, a distributor stops paying him, do you think that when that client opens Is your restaurant again the dealer going to give you credit? ” He also regrets the fine print of government aid. It is Tuesday and the lines of the guarantees had just been defined: up to 80% backed by the State, but processed through the bank. “When the hotelier's request arrives at the bank's risk department, they will not give him a penny, because they are not solvent. There are hospitality companies that are barely kept. That they have grown these years does not mean that they are prosperous. ”

The business of Juan Peiró, a frozen food and beverage distributor with two delivery platforms in Valencia and Ibiza, is almost 100% geared towards hospitality. “We calculate three months of hiatus. We have asked for the blocking of payments to suppliers and the reaction is being exemplary, we have also admitted that our clients do not pay us. ” They have about 2,000, but only five, he says, with sufficient financial capacity to endure so long without help. “The vast majority of the hospitality industry is people who live daily. They have rents to pay, with little margin. ” Although perhaps not everyone has the box so empty. A businessman who asks for anonymity remembers the black money. “It is going to stop circulating,” he says, and the one that has been accumulated illicitly is not going to serve as a lifeline to keep the job, “which is what is needed now.”

Everything will depend on how long it takes to recover normality. For Raymond Torres, director of Conjuncture of Funcas, the sector will suffer a negative impact, even if there is a rebound from the summer. “Only part of the demand deficit during confinement is” dammed “- frozen now to express itself later – and will translate into more spending during the rebound. However, a large part of the deficit in spending on restaurants, leisure, and tourism will have been lost. ” Given this, two things can happen: a part of the expense is diverted to other goods, for example those necessary during confinement, including leisure services on-line, and that the savings rate of families be increased. Nuno Fernandes, professor of Finance at IESE, warns that if the confinement lasts up to three months, the fall in national GDP would be six points and if it reaches the summer, almost 10. In his opinion, the effects of the pandemic because comparisons are made that are not correct, “like that of SARS or the financial crisis. It cannot be compared because there has been nothing like it in the last two centuries. ”

This would resemble, to put a simile with wine, the phylloxera crisis that devastated crops at the end of the 19th century in Europe. Today the wine sector, which invoices in Spain about 2,000 million euros, depends 41% on the Horeca channel. Javier Santafé, director of the Denomination of Origin Navarra, believes that we are facing a catastrophe. “But it is even more serious for small producers, those who do not have or have little presence in the food channel.” José Luis Benítez, general director of the Spanish Wine Federation, relates a complicated and disparate situation in a business with 4,000 wineries. “30% of sales can be affected. Their financing is based on working capital, many are affected by not having the financial muscle to face that distributors do not pay them or ask for deferrals ”.

The winemaker Rene Barbier, president of Clos Mogador in Priorat, is not among those who will have the worst time, because his wine has more demand than the production capacity of his vineyard, but he carefully watches the foreign markets that he opened after the last crisis (States United among them), something that hundreds of exporting companies are also doing. “I've been going crazy for two weeks trying to make everything work. In Switzerland, for example, they are paying me very well because there the measures have been different and the companies have liquidity. I can function but other people cannot ”, he admits. Other producers are at their worst and some people think that if the situation collapses, they will have to leave the grapes in the vineyard this summer.

Coffee for no one

Although Spain is one of the main wine producers, things do not improve for those who import the products that supply the Horeca channel, such as coffee. Ricardo Oteros runs Supracafé, a company that works for hotels and restaurants. “We have scheduled our purchases and established supply contracts months in advance. Perhaps that is not the main problem now, since we can seek or negotiate financing for those purchases. We assume that once the crisis period is over, things will return to normal. ” That normality, he says, “is going to be very different from the previous normality.” He is concerned about employees and their families, about customers and their financial situation, “and whether they will be able to overcome it.” And again, the chain effect of defaults with the addition that they work with a subsidiary in Colombia, where they are also experiencing difficult times. “Interrupting our purchases does not help, we have to work so that this does not end up affecting, as always, the most vulnerable.”

The same is true of food franchises. Some, like Restalia or Barra de Pintxos, have decided not to collect royalties from their franchisees. Eduardo Sancho, Marketing Director of the latter, a chain with a dozen stores between its own and third parties, says that they have also begun to negotiate the rental of the premises while they are still waiting for the Government to take measures that serve as a legal basis. to justify non-payment of rent. “I do not know what will happen, I hope that something comes out quickly because solidarity sometimes stands out for its absence.” He is concerned about the return to normality, how customers will behave and whether there will be social distancing measures, such as capacity control. For Deusto Business School marketing professor David Ruiz, there are big doubts about it, especially about whether habits will change with respect to the online channel and whether food delivery companies can benefit clearly. “If we take as an example the impact of attacks in tourist countries we see that it is easy to lose confidence and that it costs a lot to recover it. There is nothing comparable to this crisis, but the closest thing is that of 2008. We should expect a similar or worse situation. “

If the doubts are endless, the solutions to curb the tide seem like sand walls. The Leon businessman Antonio Vázquez, who also produces wine (almost five million bottles) is entirely due to the sector, where for now he sees an atmosphere of collaboration between companies. “We all depend on everyone, if this gets stuck … in the face of a global problem I only see one way: global solutions. Otherwise, this is going to be very complicated. ”

Emergency measures

ERTE. The measures approved to lighten the costs incurred by companies include exempting companies from the payment of 75% of the business contribution to Social Security in the ERTE. Companies with less than 50 workers will receive a 100% bonus with the commitment that they will keep their jobs for six months. Endorsements. To facilitate the maintenance of employment and mitigate the economic effects of the coronavirus, the line of guarantees covers new loans and other forms of financing and renewals granted by financial entities to companies and self-employed workers to meet the financing needs derived, among others, from payments of wages, invoices, need for currency or other liquidity needs, including those derived from maturities of financial or tax obligations. In the case of SMEs and the self-employed, the guarantee will amount to a maximum of 80% of the operation. Non-SMEs will have 70% support and 60% of renovation operations credits. The Government has expanded the ability of the ICO to borrow 10 billion euros. They will provide liquidity to SMEs and the self-employed, through the existing ICO Lines of financing.

The Ford RS200 – The Fastest Accelerating Road Car In The World (For 12 Years)

This article was written by Nathan Duff, the founder of Retromotive Magazine and a contributor to a number of magazines including Top Gear, CAR, Wheels, and MOTOR.

Andrei Shinkarenko likes things that are rare, different and unique. He’s refreshingly left of centre and unashamedly so. I had that impression even before we meet, as I park my car next to ‘Rex’, the dinosaur in his front yard. “Might be Rexona.” He quips as we greet. “We’re not that friendly yet.”

Andrei, or Andy, is an engineer. “We’re a different breed,” he explains. “We think differently – genetically, we are created, were not just taught to be engineers. Russians have a long history of engineering. We don’t invent new stuff, we perfect old stuff.”

“I put myself through Uni working as mechanical engineer.” Andy was fortunate enough to land a job with Ifield Engineering. “R.J. Ifield was a God.” He explains. “112 patents – among other things, the hydromantic slipper bearing; it’s the most import thing in hydraulics…. ever.” He goes on to mention a number of other inventions and innovations. He explains them in such detail that, unfortunately, the scope is a little lost on my humble intellect.

“I love things that are rare. If you’re going to do it, make it worthwhile.”

That’s the thing with Andy, if he takes an interest in something he is in, balls deep. (It’s a pun; it’ll make sense soon.)

“I started my own engineering business in ‘88 and the planets kind of lined up for me. In ‘94 the RTA decided to make the engineering signatory system the code of practice.”

In simple terms, you needed someone like Andy to sign off on your vehicle mods in order to make them legal. He was a very busy man after that

“There were only 4 of us in Newcastle, so it was busy. Especially when the kids would take their cars down to Nobby’s Beach and the cops would block off the road. 50 cars would get defected and need to be certified by an engineer. I easily would have done 3000 vehicles over 20 years doing that.”

These days, Andy is on the cusp of retirement and is itching to spend more time tinkering on projects like converting his swing car to be fully electric. Ever heard of a swing bike? Same principal, but in a car. Andy loved the concept of the bike and once he had mastered riding it, thought “Hmm how can I make this better?” Long story short, Andy now has swing car. He engineered the whole system into a Rickman Ranger that he does skids around his front lawn with.

Along with his mind bending engineering projects, he has 30 odd cars in his collection that need some miles put on the clock. Like the Ex Stirling Moss 904 Porsche GTS Carrera, the last of the road registered Le Mans cars. An Electron – a Hyundai Getz-based electric vehicle briefly produced by the Australian company, Blade Electric, but killed off due to government-introduced ESC requirements that the company couldn’t meet.

At the moment, he owns and operates a squash court. “It takes a lot of my time up. I’ve been playing squash since the mid 70’s.”

Andy’s no slouch either. He competed in the Pan Pacific Masters games in 2016 and won a silver and bronze. There was a 10-year hiatus from squash when he decided he wanted to be a power lifter. “I made the world team and came 8th in the world.”

Throughout all his achievements though, cars have remained a constant for him.

“I had worked really hard and I thought it was time to buy a supercar. I used the money I had made from my first business.” (Andy had developed a special type of Diesel Injector and sold the business to a large consortium.)

“I bought a Lamborghini Espada which was a real heart breaker. Ugh,” he sighs, “Lamborghini quality, it’s just not there. If you take it for a run, you gotta call the tow truck. I had a few problems with it and decided to park it up in the shed.” That was 23 years ago.

“There are special cars out there on the planet – the RS200 is one of them. “It was a blank sheet of paper for them to engineer the perfect rally car. That aspect appealed to me straight away. They didn’t have to build a road car – just build what is right.”

“An aluminium honeycombed section with an inbuilt roll cage that you can’t even see! Fibreglass ends and steel structures to hold the engine and diff was ahead of its time.” He says excitedly.

The RS200 was developed so that Ford could join the hugely popular Group B rally category. The Escort was no match for the Audi Quattro or Lancia Delta so they needed something truly special to get noticed on the world stage.

“I first seen the RS200 along with the Audi Quattro and Lancias on an old documentary called ‘Too Fast To Race’. It was right at the end of that era that the RS 200 came in.”

Ford invested over 10 million pounds in producing the RS200, which, considering it wasn’t going to recoup anywhere near that amount for knock on sales from the car, is testament to the times of the Killer Bs.

The RS200 was a very complex, technologically advanced four-wheel drive car. Power came from a mid-mounted, 1.8 litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged Cosworth BDS engine with a roof-mounted intercooler.

To aid weight distribution, the transmission was mounted at the front of the car. This required the power from the engine to go up to the front wheels first and then, be run back again to the rear.

The body was designed by Ghia and the chassis was designed by former Formula One designer Tony Southgate. The RS200’s was assembled at the Reliant Plant (yes, those funny 3-wheel cars) because of their experience with assembling fibreglass bodied cars.

Proof of their cars complexity is stuck to the inside of the windscreen with its strict ‘Cold Start Procedure’. This states: “It is essential not to exceed 1500 rpm for the first 30 seconds after starting. Do not drive with the oil pressure above 6 bar. Allow water temperature to reach normal before using maximum power. Failure to observe correct procedure may result in expensive engine damage.”

“The first one I found was at a museum in LA. They wanted 200k and it wasn’t even going.” The RS200 in question had apparently been parked up without fluids for 25 years, everything had seized – not good.

Andy discovered one in New Zealand owned by the Hoffman Ford dealership. They had found it in a barn in America with only 900 miles on the clock.

“I’ve only done 70-80 miles since I got it.” Admits Andy. “I got very nervous driving it around, not because it was too quick, I just don’t want anybody hitting me in their clapped out Gemini,” he laughs. “But all that has passed now and I’m comfortable driving it anywhere.”

“The first time I took it out, it felt like a dog – like it had major clutch shutter.” Andy spent a good deal of time researching how to fix the issue before a member of the RS200 club suggested an odd fix. ‘It’s nothing to do with the clutch, it’s the spark plugs.’

“I changed the plugs and 100% better. But everything is so, so tight. People blame the car – it kind of feels like the handbrake is on at low speed, you really need to drive that thing.”

It’s not just Andy, Chris Harris rates it as the “Easiest car to stall I’ve ever driven.”

“The RS200 is quick – record breaking quick. It held the record for the fastest accelerating production car for 12 years – that’s against Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini.”

The record Andy refers to was accomplished by Stig Blomqvist in an EVO RS200 for a Guinness World run. He set a 0-60mph time of 3.07 seconds. The record stood for 12 years.

The EVO’s were developed a year or so after the RS 200 debuted for the 1986 season. While they had some success, it was clear some upgrades were needed in order to really dominate the category. 24 of the original RS200’s were re-purposed which included an upgrade from the 1.8 BDT engine to 2.1 BDT-E engine capable of anywhere between 600 to 800 horsepower.

The plan was to run in the 1987 season of group B, but due to some horrendous accidents and fatalities the category was killed before they could be used.

It was a crazy time for rally and unfortunately, watching back over some of the footage from that era, it was only going to be a matter of time until there was a fatality.

Scenes of drivers leaping over blind crests, parting the sea of spectators like Moses, hands flying out trying to tag a 500hp monster as it scuttled past were common place. It looks like the automotive equivalent of the ‘Running of the bulls.’

Marc Surer, a Swiss Formula One driver, crashed a RS200 against a tree during the 1986 Hessen-Rallye in Germany, killing his co-driver, Michel Wyder instantly.

During the second leg of the 1986 Corsica Rally, Henri Toivonen’s Lancia Delta S4 went off the side of the road and plummeted down a ravine. It crashed on its roof exploding on impact. Toivonen and his co-driver, Sergio Cresto were killed instantly. The fire was so intense that the Delta S4 was unidentifiable.

In an interview just before the crash he stated; ‘After 4 hours of driving – it’s hard to keep up with the speed. So, with a modern car like this, it’s just impossible to race here. It’s physically exhausting and the brains can’t keep up with it anymore.’

At the Rally de Portugal, a RS200 was involved in one of the most horrific accidents in WRC history and the catalyst for the end of the era.

3 spectators were killed and 31 others injured when Joaquim Santos came over a crest to be greeted by spectators on the road. Trying to stop, he lost control and plunged into the crowd.

The accident set off a series of events, which lead to the FIA abolishing Group B after the 1986 season.

The RS200 EVO went on to have a second life as an absolute monster in Rally Cross. Ken Block, Ford fan and master of the skid, has recently acquired the Ford factory RS200 EVO and it’s rumoured to be part of Gymkhana 10.

Even though homologation rules stated that 200 needed to be built to be eligible for the category, it’s documented that only 146 cars were ever fully constructed and sold, with the remainder being broken down for spares.

The RS200 was but a blip on the scene. Initially, it wasn’t terribly successful and played its part in the demise of Group B. But all things considered, it’s still an amazing piece of history worthy of its cult status.

The RS200 ticks all the boxes for Andy, but he is currently testing the waters by offering the RS200 for sale. “If it doesn’t sell, I’ll be happy, the way that car looks. Would I be proud to just have it in the shed? Absolutely.”

Amy Porterfield – Webinat That Convert

LaptonLapton Even if you’re allergic to tech, your email list & sales funnel is a “work in progress”, and the idea of having to sell has you stuttering your words.

Arrow If you sell info products, digital courses, or coaching and consulting services online, then you’ve SURELY at least considered the possibility of adding webinars to your marketing strategy by now. And perhaps they’ve been top of mind for awhile…

…lumped in with the millions of other things taunting you on your “someday to-do” list.

A nagging, lingering “should” that you could never quite bring yourself around to finally doing.

Perhaps you’ve even forgotten WHY you haven’t created and implemented a webinar strategy by now. Amy Or, if you’re highly aware, perhaps you’ve identified the lack of action to be a murky cocktail of: Not wanting to waste time or money on a complex tech set-up that’s all but guaranteed to be a glitchy disaster. A lack of confidence in speaking to a live audience… and then having to sell to them. A preoccupation with email list building, content marketing, or architecting a fancy, million-dollar sales funnel complete with upsells, downsells, tripwires, maximizers, tranquilizers, etc. (Okay, maybe not the last one.) Setting up an awesome party (your webinar) only for nobody to show up. Yet despite all of this, the thought of doing webinars has never slipped too far down the bottom of your to-do list, because deep down in your entrepreneurial heart, you KNOW that pulling off an effective webinar strategy is the KEY to scaling and automating your growth while FINALLY creating more profits, freedom, and fandom in your business. And THAT is what I’m going to help you accomplish today.

So even if you think that you’re a bit behind the curve…

…that the opportunity has come and passed…

…that webinar attendance is fluttering – attention spans dwindling – conversions plummeting – and ad costs skyrocketing. (And you wouldn’t be ENTIRELY wrong on any of these fronts, either.) THERE STILL IS A WAY FOR YOU TO PIONEER THE NEXT PHASE OF WEBINAR MARKETING, AND IN DOING SO:

Build a highly engaged email list that hangs on every value-soaked word that spills from your lips. Architect a simple yet massively profitable webinar funnel that allows you to quickly scale up and put your profit-generating machine on autopilot. (Hmm…so THAT’S the whole “passive income” thing marketing gurus have been so hot on for the last decade.) Do MORE of what you love (creating and teaching new awesome material) and less of what kills your vibe (desperately trying to keep up with every marketing hack, trick or tactic that hits your inbox). Well…look at you being all smart and stuff.

Why your decision to hold off on going ALL IN on webinars up to now was likely a genius marketing move. Okay…I realize that’s a bit of a crazy statement, but if you stick with me for a sec, I’ll show you why I’m sticking to my guns.

YES, it’s true that hundreds of online entrepreneurs are generating 5, 6 or even 7 figures every time they hit “play” on their webinar.

And YES, it’s also true that had you jumped on the webinar bandwagon sooner and spent thousands of hours tinkering around, testing and optimizing, you MAY have also been one of those success stories that “webinar experts” love raving about. But here’s the thing…

Contrary to what you may have heard, most people who attempt webinars (and maybe you can relate) NEVER even break even.

In fact, my VERY first solo webinar resulted in a NEGATIVE RETURN of $1,500.

And the funny thing is – I actually did everything right. (My content was great, I had 100 people show up for the call, and my tech set up was triple-tested and held up like a champ.) One tiny mistake…

But one tiny mistake on my end that nobody warned me about (Really? I’m supposed to include a purchase link?) sunk the whole thing in less than a millisecond.

And I know that my own epic fail may sound.. well.. uncommon and unlikely.

But if you’ve ever attempted a webinar yourself (or listened closely to the struggles of your entrepreneurial peers), then you’ll know that the horror show isn’t so far off from the typical webinar experience. Here’s how most webinars go down…

First, you reach out to your email list to get people signed up.

Or…if you don’t yet have a list, you whip up a few FB ads, tie it together with a registration landing page, and wait for the “magic” to unfold.

And maybe you actually DO get a solid number of registrants. Something you feel good about.

So you go to work on your content. You labor for hours wondering what you’ll share with your audience, and how you can somehow seamlessly steer the conversation into a natural sales pitch that doesn’t make you (or them) feel sick to your stomach.

But even as you write it, you can already feel how contrived it all sounds. You worry about the balance. Am I teaching too little? Selling too much? Should I just throw in the towel?

But you’re a bold-faced entrepreneur and you’ve already spent hundreds on ads and technology that you don’t even know how to use yet…so you plunge forward with a “screw it, let’s do it” mentality.

“It’s all in my head…I’ll feel better once I’m on the call”.

Sure…if you can even make it there. Next, it’s time to unpack all that equipment and tech you just dropped a thousand bucks on.

But “it’s all good” you say…“I’ll make it back on my first webinar!”

So you take stock of it all – microphone, webcams, screenshares, recording app, broadcast software, registration forms, hosting, etc.

And breeze through the instructions – watch a few YouTube tutorials and “how to” guides, and desperately try to patch together multiple systems, programs and technologies that make assembling Ikea furniture feel like a walk in the park.

And let’s say you get lucky��maybe there’s a “tech guru” in your mastermind group who owes you a favor and steps up to the plate and delivers.

Phew. That was close Then the day of your big webinar comes…

You review your notes, make some edits to the slides (“What was I thinking with that outdated, uber-corporate template?”) and do a few vocal warm-ups to make sure you’re “projecting” properly…as if any of us really know what that means.

So you’re feeling good. Checkmarks. All systems go.

Minutes before you go live, you peek into the webinar room and only a HANDFUL of your registrants have made it (something like 15%… with most of them being your friends and family who showed up for moral support).

What happened to all those expensive, well-earned leads?? AHH.

And are the few that made it even the right TYPE of audience?

Do they care about you or your material, or are they waiting for ANY excuse to check out and get on with their day? You’re worried…

But the show must go on – you can still salvage this if you convert the few people that actually DID show up, right?

So you fight the flinch, hide your disappointment, and jump into a scattered mix of slides, screen shares and sales pitches.

There is ZERO engagement from your audience. (What happened to all that “YES momentum” you were told would come so easy?)

And for a split second, you can swear you’re back on stage at your old middle school delivering your very first public speech to a bunch of disinterested teenagers.

You bravely give it your all and awkwardly transition into your “pitch.”

Your brain floods with negative self-talk:

“Who am I to sell?”

“I don’t want to sound sleazy or pushy!”

“My audience will hate me and never trust me again…the few people I have will unsubscribe…”

But once again, you push through it and sputter off a few words.

A Hail Mary.

Crickets.

Tumbleweeds.

Close the curtain.

Exit stage right.

You curse the so-called “webinar training” course you bought that covered only one piece of a large, intricate puzzle…and cast-off webinars as an expensive, complicated, ineffective system that has no place in your business.

You pat yourself on the back, lick your wounds and learn to live another day while waiting and hoping for webinars to die a slow, painful death. (Not like you’re spiteful or anything…) Yet despite all these webinar horror stories, you STILL hang on to the idea of “someday” doing them. Why Because despite EVERYTHING that can (and usually does) go wrong with a webinar…

There is still NOTHING more powerful, leverageable or exponentially more profitable for you and your business than a well executed webinar strategy. AND IF YOU COULD JUST PULL OFF YOUR FIRST PROFITABLE WEBINAR SYSTEM, EVERYTHING IN YOUR BUSINESS CHANGES.

Your digital products and online courses sell out with ease…without having to pressure your audience with scarcity tactics and ninja “influence” tricks. Your email list gets routinely pumped full of quality, highly engaged leads (who like and trust you quicker than any autoresponder sequence could ever achieve). Partners and affiliates line up to share your awesome, high-converting and valuable presentations with their audiences, creating a MULTIPLIER effect for your income. Your BEST webinar presentations get recorded and placed into an automated, evergreen system acting like a top-performing, 24/7 salesman for your business. And your time and resources are leveraged to envision new breakthrough strategies, create more blockbuster products, and yes…even take that much needed vacation that you promised your family you would take…all while your automated webinars pull in the sales. It’s a game changer In short, it’s a game changer.

And when I FINALLY got past my initial failures and learned how to do things the right way – my business shifted overnight.

It started with my first $30K day with a single webinar… (Totally within your reach, by the way.)

And then with more tweaks and refinements over the next few months, I started to hit high six-figure webinars with increasing regularity…

…and then finally, just recently I busted yet another plateau and hit the 7-figure mark with my latest webinar promotion!

Now, I’m not saying you’re going to have a million dollar payday right out of the gate. But what would it mean to you and your business if the next time you hit “play” on a webinar…even if it’s your very first, you walked away with your largest single payday yet and dozens of happy new customers. $30k Profit Well that’s a very realistic milestone I want to put in your head right now.

Boom! Tattoo it this second.

Because I KNOW that as long as you have a strong product to sell, the ONLY thing standing in the way of you achieving a profitable webinar (with the strong possibility of scaling up FAST), is the right strategy and step-by-step guidance to nail it with confidence. Because with the right strategy and step-by-step training, you’ll be able to: String together your tech and software with ease, knowing that you’ve taken all the necessary steps to avoid the glitched-up horror stories that people love to vent about on Facebook. Never waste hundreds of dollars on leads and registrants that never show up – instead, you’ll take your final sips of pre-webinar tea (I prefer oolong), knowing that the room is JAM PACKED full of dozens or hundreds of new fans eager to hear your message. Anticipate your first 5-figure payday, knowing that the next one is simply a matter of repeating the process you’ve already mastered. Never worry about striking the right balance between teaching and selling on your presentations – and instead be able to expertly weave the two together in a harmonious way that delivers VALUE to your audience and compels them to hit “Buy.” AND MOST IMPORTANTLY…

Be assured that NO effort is wasted. That every bit of energy you put into your webinar strategy will pay off a hundredfold. That webinar creation and delivery has become a $1,000/hour activity, because every action you take is going into a highly-refined system that is PROVEN to churn out profits. SO THAT’S WHAT KEEPS US IN THE GAME.

That’s what kept ME in the game – even after my first epic failure that left me red (in the face and the bottom line).

And it’s this gap between horror show and happy ending that I want to help you confidently traverse in the coming weeks.

But you might be wondering, who am I to lead you on this journey? Amy Quote When I wanted to learn how to do webinars, I asked my friend, Amy Porterfield, for help.

No one knows how to create and deliver powerful, effective webinars more than she. Because of her, webinars are now the single most important tool in my marketing toolbox. Nothing creates more opt-ins or conversions. Thanks to Amy, my webinars now routinely generate six figures—or more!” Michael MICHAEL HYATT,

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR AND SPEAKER WHY I RESISTED OFFERING A WEBINAR TRAINING FOR YEARS… EVEN THOUGH OTHER TOP EXPERTS WOULD CONSTANTLY COME TO ME FOR ADVICE.

Now, one of the great things about being counted on to train thousands of entrepreneurs on a quickly evolving platform like Facebook is the need for absolute meticulousness.

To stay up-to-date on best practices, and teach them in a clear, step-by-step manner that leaves absolutely NOTHING to chance. (There are enough risks in running a business, don’t ya think?)

But sometimes, that meticulousness (okay, fine, let’s call it perfectionism) gets you into trouble…

As my students and peers witnessed my company’s exponential growth, many of them connected the dots and linked my success to webinars.

Sure, I was doing all the other things we’re taught to do in marketing, like guest posting, networking with affiliates, podcasting, email marketing, etc. FOR YEARS, I WAS KNOWN AS THE “GO-TO” FACEBOOK MARKETING EXPERT, CO-WRITING THE FACEBOOK MARKETING ALL-IN-ONE FOR DUMMIES BOOK, BEFORE WELCOMING OVER 6,500 STUDENTS INTO MY FLAGSHIP COURSE – THE FACEBOOK MARKETING PROFIT LAB. What they say “I took Amy’s claim of earning five figures on a webinar without a list seriously. I had two people on my email list when I joined the program. After joining, I picked two dates about 30 days out, and put them on my calendar as my webinar dates. I built my webinar system exactly as Amy outlined, and after four webinars over two days, I have reached my goal and earned $10,000!” – CARRIE OLSEN “My biggest question marks were about content for the slides and the overall flow of the presentation. Having WTC to guide me through the process also saved me from making a lot of “first timer mistakes” and helped me get over particular areas that I thought would be challenging. After doing two webinars to launch our course, we generated $20,000 in sales!” – ERIN YOUNGREN “I generated more than $135,000 in just two weeks. Amy’s system brought me through the entire webinar process and it was a total game-changer for me because it gave me structure and outlined the more tactical stuff, like learning the various platforms and technology needed to pull off a webinar. I know that as long as I follow the steps, I have a solid framework in place and can focus my creative energy on content.” – JULIA KELLEHER “I signed up for Webinars That Convert in late Aug 2015 and proceeded to follow the lessons to create my own 5-Figure Webinars. In Sept we had over $21,000 in Webinar revenue through weekly live sessions. In Oct, we’ve already matched that total and still have 2 full weeks ahead. Amy’s system works and is clear, concise and actionable. It’s worth every penny to be part of this training!” – JACKSON MUMEY “Amy’s system WORKS! When you follow the step-by-step blueprint, you get results. I just completed my first webinar system after going through the program and I generated $11,465! I am amazed! Amy’s follow-up sequence and replay strategy are what really did the trick for my audience. It’s all about the system.” – MARY BENTZ GILKERSON “I took Amy’s claim of earning five figures on a webinar without a list seriously. I had two people on my email list when I joined the program. After joining, I picked two dates about 30 days out, and put them on my calendar as my webinar dates. I built my webinar system exactly as Amy outlined, and after four webinars over two days, I have reached my goal and earned $10,000!” – CARRIE OLSEN “My biggest question marks were about content for the slides and the overall flow of the presentation. Having WTC to guide me through the process also saved me from making a lot of “first timer mistakes” and helped me get over particular areas that I thought would be challenging. After doing two webinars to launch our course, we generated $20,000 in sales!” – ERIN YOUNGREN BUT NOTHING REALLY MOVED THE NEEDLE IN A HUGE WAY IN MY BUSINESS UNTIL I CRACKED THE CODE ON MY WEBINAR STRATEGY, AND BUILT ALL THOSE OTHER MARKETING PIECES AROUND IT.

Wheel So when I had my first $30K webinar, some people started taking notice.

“Hey, that’s awesome Amy, Congrats!”

But when I started to routinely hit high 6 figures on each campaign…and then almost 7 figures with my last launch, that’s when the conversation went from flattery and fist bumps to: “OMG Amy! – You NEED to teach me this!”

But outside of a few private chats, I wasn’t ready to…

Not because I stumbled upon my success “by chance” and wouldn’t know how to teach others how to replicate it.

But because I knew from experience that webinars, more than ANY other marketing activity, were the most delicate, intricate system that required extreme care and attention to detail in order to execute successfully.

So I held off.

Now I’ve always been one to jump into action – to “burn the boats” and not look back, as my friend Tony Robbins would say.

But when it comes to creating and developing the strategies and systems that MAXIMIZE results and return-on-effort (R.O.E.) of my students, I’m not ashamed to say that I’m a bit of a perfectionist.

Better Done Than Perfect!? Um…No Thanks

Sure, the “better done than perfect” battle cry might work well for a cheap coffee mug, but it has no place in the real world where thousands of hardworking online entrepreneurs are counting on me to deliver a TOP quality training that leaves no stone unturned and no questions unanswered.

Because in the world of webinars, “better done than perfect” leaves you with:

Inflated ad costs (and non-targeted leads) Empty webinar rooms (Digital tumbleweed, anybody?) Awkward presentations Flatlined conversions And that’s why, despite hundreds of my students practically begging me to create a webinar course, I made the decision to hold back until my strategies were refined, tested, optimized, and delivered in the patented “Amy Style” that holds your hand through every step of the way and NEVER leaves you wondering what to do next.

And today, I’m proud to say…the wait for that type of training is OVER

But before I introduce you to it, it’s important we do some important unlearning and prepare the ground for your success.

4 Sneaky Myths That Keep You From Delivering High Converting Webinars MYTH #1 MYTH #2 MYTH #3 MYTH #4 MYTH #1: WEBINARS ARE ONLY A MARKETING STRATEGY (AND NOT A WHOLE SYSTEM).

Most view webinars as just the presentation component, which in fact constitutes of no more than 15% of an entire, well-integrated webinar STRATEGY.

In reality, an effective webinar strategy involves 5 Key Stages (planning, pre, live, post, automated), all of which MUST be executed in perfect harmony in order for cash to change hands at the end of your presentation. In short, a webinar isn’t a single tactic, but an entire system with many moving parts, specific timelines, and delicate levers to pull.

And when everything lines up perfectly, your business grabs hold of an effective, efficient sales machine that acts as the backbone of your business and gives you the opportunity to grow, scale and automate at will. So, are you ready to learn more? And more importantly…are you ready to learn how to sidestep the countless traps that make most webinars epic disasters, and instead learn and implement the COMPLETE step-by-step system that I’ve personally used to generate over $5M in my business?

A webinar success system that makes you look like a marketing genius even if: The idea of stringing together your tech gives you panic attacks You’re still working on building an email list or architecting your sales funnel Your confidence pulls a disappearing act whenever it comes to presenting on a live call You couldn’t sell a bucket of water to a person whose feet are on fire And you don’t have a SECOND to waste in your business that isn’t linked to profit Amy SO IF YOU’VE MADE IT THIS FAR, THEN I’M EXCITED TO PULL BACK THE CURTAIN AND INTRODUCE YOU TO….

Because it’s a realistic and highly achievable tipping point. Your first profitable webinar puts you on a whole new entrepreneurial playing field where new doors open up VERY fast.

You can deliver an amazing webinar that everyone on the call praises you for, yet STILL not pull in any sales once you direct people to the “Buy Now” button.

Plus these BONUSES Bonus One PRIVATE, MEMBERS ONLY FACEBOOK GROUP (Value $997)

There may be other types of business and marketing training where you can kinda, sorta get by without the support of a group.

But webinars… well…they’re just not one of them.

While the core curriculum DOES take you by the hand and lead you every step of the way, there’s something undeniably special about engaging with others who have chosen the same path.

Your daily dip into this Facebook group will soon be some of the most inspiring and profitable moments of your day as you: Tap into a thriving community for new ideas, insights and inspiration. Ask questions and quickly troubleshoot any little (or big) challenges standing in your way. Get an extra set of eyes on every piece of your webinar system from those in the community who are in the trenches with you. Invite your new band of supporters to join you on your webinar (it never hurts having your friends on a call with you). This is a private community of entrepreneurs and business owners who are serious about getting their webinar system up and running. The community is one where people support each other, connect, ask questions, get feedback, and offer up their own insights and encouragement in a trusted group setting. The Webinars That Convert team will be on hand to offer support as well. Bonus Two THE WEBINAR FILL UP FORMULA (Value $497)

The #1 complaint I hear over and over again from business owners is not knowing how to fill up their webinars with quality participants.

And by “quality participants” I am talking about people that will want to do business with you after you knock their socks off with your amazing webinar content!

The lack of focus on filling up your webinar with the RIGHT audience can flatline your sales before you ever hit play.

But fill up your webinar with people that are excited and genuinely interested in hearing from you, and you’ll not only create amazing engagement on your webinar, but you will also have the confidence to steer the conversation towards its natural conclusion (more sales). So what would it be worth to you and your business if… You didn’t have to spend dozens of hours and thousands of dollars patching together your systems and tech, only to STILL rely on a hope and prayer that it all goes smooth. You could learn how to set up, execute, and maximize your webinar funnel all from a single step-by-step program, instead of jumping between multiple overpriced trainings that give you only a single piece of the puzzle and leave you with NO IDEA on how to complete the picture. Your email list building strategy wasn’t treated as separate, time-consuming marketing activity, but FULLY integrated (and maximized) into your profitable webinar system. You could stop “thinking” about doing webinars… stop “talking” about doing webinars… and definitely stop trying to remember why it is you passed them off to begin with. But instead, you can confidently and consistently execute profitable webinars while jumping to the front of the line in your industry. THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY I’M PUTTING IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY.

To pioneer the next wave of entrepreneurs who are executing their webinars with only the most current, up-to-date and proven practices.

Watching your peers (and competitors) leapfrog you with their own successful webinar systems. Handicapping your profits by relying on non-leveragable marketing activities like one-to-one calls, endless guest posting and content creation. A 60-DAY “TRY IT, TEST IT, APPLY IT” MONEY BACK GUARANTEE

Guarantee If you’re on the fence…

Or if other trainings have left you stranded (and skeptical)…

Then I want to give you EVERY opportunity to put Webinars That Convert into action and cash in on your first hugely profitable webinar.

That’s why I’m saying “Screw It’ to the 30-day “industry standard” and instead I’m giving you a full 2 MONTHS to go through the training, keep up with the assignments, implement the systems, and hit PLAY on your first webinar system.

And if you reach out within 60 days to show me that you’ve kept up with all the work (you have to show me proof!), and for some crazy reason STILL haven’t seen any progress, then I’ll be happy to return the investment. But, you DO have to do the work.

Webinars That Convert is for business owners who are committed to implementing new profit-generating systems into their business, and NOT for tire kickers only interested in collecting more information and digital dust on their hard drives.

And we will be strict on this last point – you absolutely must do the work and put the strategies into action to be eligible for a refund.

There’s so much transformation waiting for you on the other side of this training, and since my main goal is your success, I’m not afraid to dish out some tough Amy love when it comes to holding you accountable.

More on the 60-Day Guarantee over here. A LITTLE BIRDY TOLD ME YOU HAVE QUESTIONS…

Q I don’t have a website or a blog and I do not have a presence on social media. Is this program still a good fit for me? Q What if I don’t have an email list? Q Do I need to have my funnel set up before I can benefit from Webinars That Convert? Q I barely have enough time to get things done as it is – how will I find the time to implement this program? Q Do I need to have a product first? Q I sell a service – can this help? Q I already run webinars…will this improve my results, or it it just a beginners’ course? Q I understand that if I put in the work and implement the systems I WILL see epic results – but how many hours should I be setting aside each week? Q Will I be on a deadline to start the course? Is the training delivered live? “SO…WHERE’S EVERYONE TUNING IN FROM TODAY?”

You’ve heard the famous line dozens, if not, hundreds of times.

Maybe you’ve even excitedly punched your own city into the chat box and heard the webinar presenter announce it on the call, drawing a warm smile. But imagine the grin you’ll have when YOU get to ask it for the first time…

…and dozens of answers flood in – people from ALL over the world, tuned in, rapt with attention, waiting for you to share your best work and lead them towards a better reality.

If you’re reading these words, then that “dream” is only a few short weeks away.

For the first time, you can get a COMPLETE webinar funnel system that gets you there – not just a single piece of the puzzle that leaves you lost and frustrated.

There really is no greater speedpass or shortcut towards growing, scaling, and automating your profits.

But the danger of traveling at such high speeds is the endless amount of ways you can crash and burn.

And such is the case with webinars – it’s why MANY avoid doing them – and why those who have integrated them into their business have more than likely experienced some kind of epic, humiliating disaster that left them red-faced and bleeding cash.

And after severely botching my first two attempts at webinars, I too was just about ready to call it quits.

But looking back, after vividly seeing how webinars were singlehandedly responsible for growing my business to multiple 6 figures, and then scaling beyond 7, I want to do everything I can to make sure you don’t turn your back on such a powerful strategy…and more importantly, give you the confidence to nail it the first time.
