YES - YOU CAN DO THIS! "I know you can do this, which is the reason I'm putting my own money on the line. The only question is whether you will choose to do so or not."

• The weekly lessons are simple enough that an eighth-grader could do them in 15-60 mintues.
• 90% of the lessons don't require a single extra penny of your money. (Those that do require extra money are reasonable, and optional)
• You don't need to have a single ounce of "salesmanship" in your blood. (Each entrepreneur has different strengths and you'll learn to maximize yours)

Or, you may be wondering... "Just who is Travis Giggy? And, how do I know he can help ME?"

PROOF POINT #1: I Started 43 Businesses!

Over the course of my career, I have been lucky and privileged to work with brilliant entrepreneurs across a wide variety of industries. I have helped build several companies from nearly $0 to millions per year:

• I helped a call center company go from zero (0) to 70 million dollars a year, in only 36 months!
• I worked with a direct marketing company, taking them to $80K/mo within 6 months.
• I joined an Internet company, near inception, and helped them to $120,000,000 / year. (Yes, in millions)

I have been a part of many startup companies:

Limpers - The worst kind of business, limps along neither making it big or failing. A limper is worse than a failure because it sucks away your time and energy, when you could be working on a greater opportunity. Avoid "limpers" at all cost!

Failures - Taking investor money, but not being able to pay it back - is a humbling experience... My experiences with failed companies taught me a lot about what NOT to do. And there is A LOT you should never do. Since I didn't have anybody to tell me what NOT to do, I had to learn it the hard way.

Wild Successes - When a company goes from start-up to $70M in revenue in only 3 years, it is a wild ride! I have been lucky enough to experience 3 of these start-ups in my career. One went from start-up to $120,000,000 of revenue in just 5 years. A rocket-ship!

And through it all I tried my hand at everything, met really talented entrepreneurs, and learned from every experience. Some good times and some bad times. But this isn't about me...

It's about you - and taking your fledgling new business to success as quickly as possible. You don't have to go through all the failures I experienced. You can take advantage of my knowledge and my proven success formulas to put your business light years ahead of where it would have been.

PROOF POINT #2: Fortune 500 Consulting

When a Fortune 500 company has a client who needs technical help, I'm the guy they bring in the back door to make the project happen.

I've worked with many large companies on projects as diverse as the Transformers 2 DVD release, to call center reporting software. Some Fortune 500 companies to this day use software my company wrote 10 years ago... and they have never even met me!

PROOF POINT #3: Client Endorsements

I've also worked directly with owners of countless small businesses, taking their revenues to new levels.

(Click any letter below to read the full endorsement)

In addition to the endorsement letters above, you can read the testimonials from existing clients that flood these pages.

These customers and clients send me "thanks" every day for the advice and guidance I give.

PROOF POINT #4: Certified by the BBB, Backed up by an incredible Guarantee

My business is rated "A" for excellent by the Better Business Bureau. An "A" rating is only given to companies with the highest levels of trust and credibility.

Why in the world would I go to so much trouble proving my credibility and trustworthyness?

The answer is simple...

You need somebody you can trust to take you by the hand and show you what is important - what to focus on - where to look for solutions.

Because you have a formidable challenge ahead of yourself...

As You Already Know, Starting and
Running a Successful Business is RISKY

The Small Business Administration (SBA) says on its website: "50% of small businesses fail within the first five years." Other recent studies estimate 80% of new businesses fail within five years.

But it gets worse.

80% of the businesses who do not fail struggle in the worst way, working an average of 68 hours per week, and sacrificing their relationships, family, and health in the process - just to cashflow the operation.

That means only 4-10% of startup businesses make it comfortably within 5 years.

Your odds for success in business are worse than your odds of winning in a Las Vegas casino! (click here for a quick comparison)

Kinda depressing, huh?

I've personally started 43 new businesses since 1996. Some were successful, some failed, and some just limped along barely covering expenses.

Throughout these experiences, I've hit every road-block new business owners encounter. Finally, discover the Top 5 reasons the average business fails and how to turn the odds in your favor from Day 1.

Brian Tracy, a famous business speaker, in an article titled "How to Succeed in Business", cited even worse odds.

99% of businesses started by people lacking business experience fail within the first two to three years. However, and equally surprising, 80% of businesses started by experienced businesspeople succeed.

Research by Dunn & Bradstreet shows:

96% of businesses in America fail due to managerial incompetence.

Here are the major reasons new business fail:

1. Poor Business Planning: 78% of businesses fail because they don't have a good business plan.

   Hey, I understand. It's next to impossible to create a business plan when you have little or no experience. It's like trying to operate the sapce shuttle with your one-page quick-start guide!

   You have to know who your customers are, how many will buy, how you will market to them, what your prices will be, and on and on...

   The #1 reason people don't create an effective business plan is no-one has given them clear, step-by-step directions.

2. Poor Financial Planning: 82% of businesses fail due to poor cashflow management skills, followed closely by starting out with too little money.

   Most new businesses starting out have too little money to accomplish their goals - or a poor plan to stretch the available money as far as needed.

   The #1 reason entrepreneurs have poor cashflow management skills is because the accounting class they took in school taught ZERO real-world application. The skills required for running a business in the real world are apples and oranges compared to what you learned in school.

3. Poor Marketing: 64% of businesses fail because of poor marketing.

   Many first-time entrepreneurs have a "build it and they will come" mentality. They often minimize the importance of marketing. Many also ignore their competition...

   And the more experienced entrepreneurs, who realize how important marketing is, don't know how to structure a message to their market, or buy advertising space.

   The truth is: very few businesses fail when they have high levels of sales and revenue coming in the front door... proficiency in this area can often overcome lack of experience in others...

   There are some easy-to-learn tricks and tactics which could make your marketing and advertising the most exciting part of your business.

4. Poor Management: 70% of businesses fail due to owners without relevant business experience.

   A lack of business experience is a major factor in businesses going under. In fact, this is the reason many entrepreneurs must start 12 businesses before one is successful. They go through business after business, learning the skills they need to be successful.

   Without starting 12 businesses, a new entrepreneur must learn what "to do" and what "not to do" from a mentor - a resource who can offer guidance and wisdom based on experience.

A Step-by-step Lesson for 52 Weeks
In Downloadable PDF & Embedded Video Format

Instead of publishing this information in some ebook or quick coaching program, I'm making it available to you week after week in action-sized portions so you actually get results.

You will get a PDF, which you can download to your computer and print to paper. You will also get short instructional videos to walk you, step-by-step, through each concept and assignment.

You don't need another ebook to clutter up your hard drive, and you don't need more words to clutter up your brain. What you need is a weekly "Here's what you do next" action step to complete. You need someone to show you how to quickly get started - and then keep teaching you week after week so you don't get stalled along the way.

It is exactly what I'm going to do when you join the Startup Victory Course.

Each lesson is strategically created in such a way so you'll see results with the program...

Start With the Business Jump-Start Kit (6 hours of video, transcripts and cheat sheets), and Continue Getting Valuable Business Building Lessons Every Week.

When you join the Startup Victory Course, you not only get the Business Jump-Start Kit, but also the valuable weekly lessons to help you get started quickly, and continue building your profitable business, week-by-week, for an entire year.

• The Jump-Start Kit is yours to keep - no matter if you continue in the club or not.
• This club is not my main business: I make more money in my other pursuits. While not completely selfless... this club is a way to impart knowledge I've gained from being a serial entrepreneur.
  
  

  When I was first getting started, I wish somebody grabbed me by the shoulders -- shook me VIOLENTLY -- and said: "for your own sanity, for god's sake: listen to this guy!"

  I endured a lot of heartache trying to start my first businesses the hard way. If I can possibly keep somebody else from suffering through needless mistakes, the club is a success.

• I worked for several businesses growing from zero to millions of dollars per month in revenue. I worked hand-in-hand with the founders of these companies, and still maintain nearly all of them as friends and mentors.
• Just read the testimonials all across these pages as proof of my value as a business coach, mentor, and marketing consultant.

If you don't love it, cancel. It only costs $29.95 a month... and once you have it in your hands you'll know... it is an absolute bargain!

Nothing else compares to having your own mentor feeding you the exact steps and advice you need to succeed in business, in easy to digest chunks... (including step-by-step instructional videos) whether you're a brand new beginner or an experienced veteran.

The entire concept behind Startup Victory is you're receiving weekly, and monthly strategies for launching and building your business... in multiple easy-to-digest formats.

In addition to the stuff you have already read about, I have more gifts and other surprises in store for you. For example, I often interview top experts and ask them real questions from my subscribers. Sometimes, I throw in valuable new products and content along the way - usually as a way to get some feedback before launching.

To top it all off, I'm guaranteeing your success with my own money on the line. All you need to do is complete the simple weekly lessons, and within 1 year you will have a business profitable enough to quit your 9-5 job. Or, I'll give you 250% of the course tuition back!**

It's the next best thing to having me as your personal coach... at a price anyone can afford. (If you can't afford $29.95 / month, you really shouldn't be trying to start a business yet.) Plus, if you ever want to cancel - it is as simple as sending an email, or making a phone call.

WARNING: This is not for the lazy person

I have strong feelings about starting a business. Either take it seriously, or don't get started in the first place. If you choose to enroll in my Startup Victory course, please do so with the intention of putting in the work - and launching a successful enterprise.

I am here to give you the best shot possible - but in the end, you are the one who makes - or breaks - your business.

To qualify for the 250% guarantee: You are only required to show simple proof that you tried to accomplish each lesson. I'm not going to "grade" you, and I won't judge your work. If you show me basic proof that you made an attempt to complete the lesson, I will accept it.

No Long Term Committments

The cost is $29.95 per month for the Startup Victory course, which includes the Business Jump-Start Kit.

This is about $1 per day. It is less than dinner for 4 at McDonalds. It is less than a parking ticket. It is less than a daily cup of coffee!

You can get your own mentor and coach taking you by the hand and guiding you through the startup process... for under $1 a day.

You can cancel at any time. No contracts, no long term commitments.

If I don't knock it out of the park every month - I lose.

I'm so confident you will love Startup Victory, I'm willing to put my own money on the line. In fact, I will more than double down my bet.

You will instantly receive the Business Jump-Start Kit, with 6 hours of video, transcripts and cheat sheets, plus the first lesson of the Startup Victory course 52-week series.

Download everything, go through all the materials... and read every word. If you don't feel the package is worth MUCH MORE than $29.95, simply ask to cancel within a month.

To cancel your subscription, all you need to do is complete this form. You will be removed from the system within 1-2 business days. (weekends and holidays don't count)

You will never be charged more than $29.95 $0, and you get to keep it all. That's right - keep the full Business Jump-Start Kit, just for your time and trouble.

After one month, your credit card will be charged $29.95.

Then continue getting the Startup Victory weekly lesson. If I don't knock it out of the park any week, feel free to cancel at any time. Your credit card will no longer be billed... and you can keep all 6 hours of audio, transcripts, and cheat sheets contained in the Business Jump-Start Kit.

If you choose to continue with the training, you will receive a new lesson each week with a simple assignment to complete. (It is important you complete each lesson because the guarantee is ONLY good for those who show they have completed all assignments.)

If at the end of one year, you have completed the simple weekly assignments, and you don't have a business with profit enough to completely replace the salary from your current 9-5 job:

I Will Give You 250% of Your Tuition Back**

All you need to do to qualify for the 250% guarantee is show that you've attempted to complete each assignment to the best of your ability. That's it. I'm not gonna be a jerk, or "grade" you. I just want to see that you made a reasonable attempt to follow the blueprint.

You simply CANNOT LOSE.

Only 1,000  (And Shrinking Fast) Members Will Be Accepted Into Startup Victory at This Low Price!

Update: 97 Memberships Remaining

I have placed a cap on Startup Victory at 1,000 members. Once these initial memberships have been sold (and with my affiliate network, this won't take long) I will close the doors and no more memberships will be available.

You need to understand this -

I don't play marketing games

So, if you want to join, the time is now - before the price goes up, or the SOLD OUT sign goes up in the box below.

I mentioned this earlier, but just want to stress one last time because I think it is very important:

Your ultimate success depends largely upon the business education you give yourself. If you do not educate yourself, there is a 90%+ chance you will fail.

There is a reason all professional athletes have coaches. (I, too, have multiple business coaches)

It's because you just can't do it all yourself - there is too much information, too little time to figure it all out.

---

So, if you decide not to join my Startup Victory training, please find somebody you trust, and has been-there-done-that, who you can learn from. If you want to be successful in business - and have all that success brings (time, money, freedom, reputation, etc) then take your business education seriously.

Of course, I think Startup Victory is the best, no-risk way you can do it. (but I'm biased)

Click here to give it a try and decide for yourself.

Looking forward!

P.S. If you're looking for a "fancy" small business magazine, this is not it. I don't worry about flashy graphics or pretty pictures in my newsletter. I don't accept advertising, and I rarely promote other people's products.

I focus on quality content, to help you succeed in business. Again, while I DO make money with this club, it is not my main source of revenue - I make much more money with other business pursuits. This Startup Victory course is a way for me to pass on some of what I've learned about starting and running a business over the years.

P.P.S. The biggest problem entrepreneurs face in the world today is definitely NOT a lack of information. It's just too difficult to sort through a literal haystack of information and find the helpful needles (and ignore the rest).

I consider it my job to help you focus on what is PROVEN and IMPORTANT when starting a business. That is my focus, and my mission.

That's what you get with the weekly Startup Victory training. I'm willing to bribe you with the Business Jump-Start Kit, with 6 hours of video, transcripts and cheat sheets - just for giving it a shot.

Plus... you get it all for only $29.95 $0 for the first month.

Therefore, it is not necessary for you to trust, or even like me - because I take on the risk - and take a huge hit by giving this all away - and you can cancel before you're charged more than $29.95 $0.
