How To Win 2011 NPE Member of the Year...

and The $5,000 Cold Hard Cash!

PLUS...4 More Awards Categories With Killer Prizes

Dear NPE Member,

At the 2011 NPE Mega Training Event in Orlando, Florida October 20-22, someone will win $5,000 cold hard cash. Here's how to make that someone be...YOU!

And don't forget, this year there are 4 more awards categories with killer prizes. Lots of chances to win...and win big. So here's what to do...

1. Read this letter completely.

2. Submit your Intent To Participate Form (click this link)

3. After submitting your Intent To Participate Form we will immediately email you the official 2011 NPE Member Awards Contest entry package (for entering in any or all of the categories).

4. Return your completed entry package to us no later than September 30th.

We believe in you. The only question is…do you believe? This contest is about more than just who had the biggest gross sales revenue or highest net profit over the past 12 months. In fact, having the biggest numbers doesn’t guarantee you will be selected as one of the five finalists for NPE Member of the Year, or as winner of any of the other categories.

Because more than just numbers, this contest is about breakthroughs, implementation and results, strategy, tactics, innovation, overcoming obstacles, capitalizing on opportunities, will, determination, perseverance, drive and growth!

This contest is about you and your personal story…it’s about the business and the life you are creating!

And we are pretty darn certain there is some element of your story – your personal and professional victory – that warrants your participation in the NPE Member Awards Contest. Frankly, we expect you to participate - to compete for these awards and prizes because you are good enough to win.

You Miss 100% of the Shots You Don’t Take

“If only” must be the two saddest words in the world. “Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.” I’m not sure who said that, but they are words to live by.

This is your entrepreneurial moment. You can and should take this shot…because there is zero downside risk, and the upside can be nothing short of huge for you.

We're not making a mountain out of a molehill here – the NPE Member Awards Contest can be the thing that puts you over the top. We talk about this phenomenon all the time. It is the principle of “putting yourself out there” – and it always pays huge dividends.

Member of the Year:

Here’s What We’re Looking For

Five finalists for 2011 NPE Member of the Year will be chosen by Sean, Eric, Dick and Camelia from all who enter the contest based on two categories:

1. Implementation and Results: What have you done? What action steps have you taken in the past 12 months? What systems, strategies , tools and tactics have you implemented? And what were the results? Higher marks will be awarded to those who quantifiably document the results. Categories are sales, marketing and management.

2. Personal and Professional Growth: How has implementing and getting results helped you grow? What breakthroughs have you experienced? What opportunities have presented themselves because of actions you’ve taken? How have you capitalized? How is your business and your life better today than it was 12 months ago? Be as specific as possible.

The bottom line is CHANGE. More than just providers of systems, tools and coaching, here at NPE we pride ourselves on being agents of change. And we’re looking for evidence of that change in you because of your Membership in NPE. The sharper the contrast between before and after – the greater the change – the better.

But keep in mind that it’s natural for many people to minimize their accomplishments in their own eyes – particularly high achievers like you who expect, and work towards, major goals. What may seem like subtle change to YOU, may look like a radical evolution to your peers and us. So let us be the judge. All we ask of you is that you present your accomplishments in the best light, giving yourself the best chance to win.

Here’s What To Do Now To Compete

In ANY or ALL of the Categories

Just complete the “Notice of Intent To Participate” no later than Thursday, September 15th. We’ll immediately email you a PDF containing instructions on how to submit your NPE Member Awards Contest entry package.

You will then have until Friday, September 30th to get your contest entry package ready and submit it to us. The first week in October, we will select FIVE FINALISTS from those who enter. If you are selected as a finalist, you will be notified immediately. Then the five finalists will each do a 15-20 minute presentation at the NPE Mega Training Event and the attendees (your peers) will vote by private ballot on the 2011 Member of the Year. After we tally the private ballots, we’ll officially announce and award prizes to the winner and 3 runners-up.

A Hidden, Profound Benefit To You

In addition to the prizes, publicity and notoriety you get if you win, there is a hidden benefit everyone who enters will enjoy. And it’s profound.

Just taking the time to THINK about your business over the past 12 months, and then to DOCUMENT what you did – the actions you took, strategies, systems, tools and tactics you implemented – and how they worked…will give you a level of clarity about your business that nothing else can. Nothing. It is precisely this kind of REVIEW that is critical to your continued growth…and unfortunately, it’s this kind of review we rarely ever see fitness business owners doing. And that’s not good. With our NPE Member of the Year Contest, we’re incentiving you to do the review that will propel you upward faster and higher than any other activity you can do.

If you are truly serious about your business growth…with speed…then I urge you to do this review, and to submit it to us for the NPE Member Awards Contest.

Go to the Notice of Intent to Participate form and complete it now (for all categories).

We’ll immediately email you a PDF containing complete instructions on how to submit your entry for the 2011 NPE Member Awards Contest (for all categories).

The Deadline Date

Remember, we must receive your Notice of Intent to Participate NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 15TH. But the sooner you get it into us, the sooner you can start doing your business review and putting together your entry packet, which is due by the end of September.

A Note About the NPE Mega Training Event

You must be present at NPE Mega Training 2011 to win, so if you have not registered yet, you can do that right now by going to: www.MegaTraining2011.com.

Submit your Notice of Intent today (will take you less than 2 minutes), because you miss 100% of the shots you don't take! Regardless of which category you want to participate in, and you may participate in as many as you like, we must receive your Notice of Intent.

Good luck, and we'll see you at MEGA TRAINING,

Sean Greeley

GRAND PRIZE - $5,000 Cold Hard Cash to Spend As You Choose. The 2011 NPE Member of the Year will win a $5,000 check. We like this a lot – and you will too – because who doesn't like cash?...spend as you wish, go on a vacation, paydown some debt, invest for the future...whatever you'd like...

We thought about just giving away a car, or another luxury vacation, but then we thought - let's just focus on you! This prize is about rewarding you for all your hard work, in a way that allows you to reap the benefits in the most practical way possible..

Member of the Year Finalist Prize – Winner's Weekend Group Consulting Day ($1500 value). All of our finalists are winners. And this year we're once again inviting all of the finalists to our Winner's Weekend Group Consulting Day. Our group consulting days rock (and they’re valued at $1500). It’s an intensive day devoted to you and a small group of your peers (usually 8 people total). You fly into Orlando the day/evening before, we all go to dinner as a group, then off to bed for a good night’s sleep. Because you’ll need it. We start early and end late, making sure you take away an action plan for accelerating the growth of your fitness business…the day you get home.

Since 2006, Eric and I have awarded almost $100,000 in prizes and gifts to NPE Members and customers. You may have been on the receiving end of some of those great prizes. And we're continuing to award even more great prizes.

At the upcoming NPE Mega-Training Event in Orlando, FL on October 20-22, we’ll be awarding the $5,000 cash, plus 6 more major prizes…in one night! And of course, bragging rights to the top 5 NPE Members of the Year (including trophies, pictures and publicity).
