4 Ways To Find A Superstar SEO Consultant While Avoiding The Bad Ones

So, you’re ready to begin the hunt for a superstar SEO consultant? Great, you’ve come to the right place. No matter what kind of online business you run, the implementation of a quality, targeted SEO strategy can drastically boost your overall success.

In this article, not only are we going to cover the best techniques for weeding out baddies and finding the golden ticket, but we’re also going to teach you what to avoid and how to properly prepare for your SEO consultant quest.

Time & Money Costing Mistakes You Should Avoid

Steer Clear

We’ve all seen it time and time again, the people that like to boast about their self-proclaimed “guru” status. In an attempt to differentiate themselves from the vast market of competition, some SEO consultants will market themselves as wizards of some sort with a secret power that no other consultant or firm uses.

This should be an immediate red flag. SEO is a very well known industry devoid of secrets and mythical unicorns. The only difference between the good and the bad is their skill level and understanding of the knowledge available to anyone and everyone looking to become an SEO consultant.

The Best are Often Times Hiding

Finding a high-quality SEO consultant is a lot like trying to find the restaurant where the locals eat when you’re visiting a new city. The best consultants are going to have more clients than they can handle, and very little time to care about ranking in Google searches (I know, blasphemy, right?)

Err on the side of caution when using Google to try and find an SEO consultant. Just because they’re at the top doesn’t mean they’re the best. In fact, it could very well mean the opposite. They have no clients and so all of their time is devoted to convincing you of otherwise.

Set Your Goals First

SEO consulting is a diverse landscape with many different niches and expertise. Some are going to be better with B2B businesses and others are going to be better for eCommerce businesses.

By setting clearly defined, specific goals that you want to achieve, it’s going to help you narrow the field during your search. Rather than simply wanting to drive more traffic (a bad goal), you should want to drive targeted traffic from your target market to have the highest chances of converting into sales (good goal).

Know Your Budget

The cost of a quality SEO consultant can rack up fairly quickly. Make sure that as a business you’re ready for this step and have planned for it financially. Don’t let someone strongarm you into their services if they’re out of your price range no matter how perfect they seem.

Stick to your budget, and, if need be, try to negotiate with them to see if there’s wiggle room. You’re going to save yourself a lot of stress this way.

Don’t Go With Your First Choice

As with many other things in life, take the time to shop around. Get a feel for what’s out there and line up a few choices for you to compare and contrast when it’s decision time. Talk to each of the consultants you’re considering and decide whether or not their strategies and style align with what you’re looking to accomplish.

4 Tips for Finding a Superstar SEO Consultant

Honest, Quality Answers to Your Questions

When you start the vetting process, you should have a list of prepared questions to ask each SEO consultant you’re considering. This is going to give you unique insight into the way they do things and what their level of expertise is like.

Don’t be afraid to ask things like: What specific strategies are you going to use to help my business reach its goals? How do you handle problems? What metrics do you measure?

If they flounder or can’t give you a straight answer, kick em’ to the curb. The seasoned professional is going to clearly and confidently answer all of your questions.

Understanding the Technical Side of Things

Technical SEO is a whole different ballgame, and the SEO consultant you’re considering should know a lot about website structure, coding, and programming languages. These skill sets aren’t something that can be learned overnight, rather, they take years to master.

Because technical SEO plays such a large role, your consultant should be able to ensure that your website structure is optimized and free of any coding issues that can slow search engine spiders or create negative user experiences.

Best SEO Practices Now and Going Forward

Knowing the SEO best practices that work today are much different (and more effective) than the ones that worked a year ago. You want to make sure that the consultant you choose knows how to specifically implement the best strategies that fit your exact needs. They need to be able to cater to you.

Also, they need to prove that they stay up to date with things as they change. The online world is fast paced, and if they’re not constantly honing their craft and growing as professionals, your online business is going to suffer.

Results, Results, Results

As they say, it’s easy to talk the talk, but SEO consultants must be able to walk the walk as well. Numbers walk and talk, so if you run into the company that doesn’t have any statistical or data driven results to show you, that should be a red flag.

A quality consultant is going to have results to present so they can better reinforce why they’re the best choice and so you can get an idea of what to expect. If they don’t have any results to share, there’s probably a good reason and you should steer clear.

Some Closing Words

Navigating the waters along the way to finding a superstar SEO consultant can be tricky, but it’s a whole lot easier when you know what to look for, and, more importantly, what to avoid.

You Need A Budget

I’ve started using the You Need A Budget service after a colleague referred me to it. It’s a personal financing service that lets you track all of your expenses and external accounts in a single interface for an easy look at your overall budget and financial picture.

My Budgeting Background

The idea of tracking every expense and forecasting future payments is nothing new to me. I used Mint for many years, and later on (to this date) I use a custom Google Sheet with scripting for added precision with my budgeting numbers.

I. Track. Everything. Every payment; every transaction. It’s become a knee-jerk habit to record every purchase just like our parents taught us at a young age when we got our first checking account. Except these days we have so many better tools than pen and paper, namely web and mobile apps.

Goals

However, even with my custom spreadsheet and super-duper formulas, I still feel I’m missing important information and awareness about my spending habits, as well as effectively putting my dollars to work. For example, am I saving and investing enough? Are there categories where I’m spending too much? Most importantly, how much actual money do I have right now for something I might need?

It’s that last point that my current tools are not revealing. I never actually know how much spare money I have to use for something, and to not feel guilty about it.

I hope to achieve some added clarity with You Need A Budget (referred to as YNAB from this point forward). I’ve only been using the service for a few months, but here are my thoughts on YNAB and how my transition from an ad-hoc approach is coming along.

Referral

First, it was nice to have a colleague promote this service to me in person which made me more excited to try it. We talked a lot about our current budgeting practices and what makes it most valuable for us. We also each get a free month because of the referral (FYI: you can be my referral if you also want the free month).

I know this is not possible for everyone, but if you know someone that uses the service or a similar one, it is helpful to discuss their approach and your own thoughts on budgeting in general. This will get you in the right mindset to trying something new like YNAB which does require a certain level of commitment.

Design and Interface

The user interface of YNAB is fluid and responsive, and works in desktop browsers as well as a native mobile apps. The web app feels like it’s from 2017 for sure. The mobile app (I’ve only tried it on iOS) is also intuitive and fits a lot of features into a smaller interface without cluttering things or becoming too overwhelming.

One important thing that I noticed is I don’t feel like I am editing a boring spreadsheet, nor do I get too lost in all the numbers, since most user interaction involves inputting numbers. The interface is lightweight and there is very little friction.

Setup and Early Stages

When you use YNAB it’s best to connect your external bank accounts so the service can automatically import every transaction. This initially made me stop and think. Having to hand over my login information and 2-factor authorization for every bank I use was a bit concerning at first especially with all the cyber-hacking going on these days.

I decided I had to either commit to this willful breach of privacy or forgo using the service entirely (and give up tracking my banking activity). I decided to trust YNAB and give it a shot.

Also, it is not absolutely required to connect all of your external banking accounts but it does save time because then you don’t have to constantly be checking each account for transactions.

You’d be surprised at how many accounts and transactions you actually have. For example, I track all of my investment accounts including 401(k) as well as all those random credit accounts for merchants or stores that I opened over the years that I hardly thought about prior to YNAB other than remembering (or forgetting!) to pay my bill once a month.

At the very least, YNAB provides visibility that you may not have had before.

I then had to go through and adjust all of the predefined categories to ones that actually made sense for me. To use those categories after a day or two when all of my connected bank accounts started importing transactions into YNAB, I had to go through the backlog and categorize all of those transactions. This might have been the most tedious part.

Finally, much of what I did in the early stages was to really learn how the service works and the philosophy behind it. Without a firm grasp of this knowledge, it would be extremely hard to utilize the service to the best of its abilities. Thankfully, the documentation and timely email marketing information is very well done and put together perfectly for new users to learn and get excited.

Building Upon the Foundation

Now that I’ve been using YNAB for about three months I have started to learn some tips and tricks that have greatly simplified how I use the service.

Savings Accounts

For example, initially I connected my savings account which I don’t actively use other than putting some money in there from time to time, and withdrawing funds for unexpectedly large payments. YNAB actually suggests connecting your savings account(s) so the service has visibility to all of your available funds and can properly put them to work.

However, doing this caused my “To be budgeted” total to be inflated to the point of not being meaningful to me for the short-term. Right now I feel that I only want to see my checking account activity because that’s my main account for money flowing in and out. Long-term it makes sense to connect my savings account so I can put that money to work, but that is something I will try another day.

Understanding Tracking Accounts

This is something that took me too long to figure out (and I still might not fully understand it). Credit accounts that have an on-going balance, or any account where a merchant is expecting money from you to pay down an outstanding balance (such as the dentist, hospitals, the hardware store, etc) have to be tracked separately from your main categories. Using a tracking account lets you correlate transactions so you always see the latest balance and can set goals to pay down the balance more easily or frequently.

One way I utilize tracking accounts is I consider them as large payments where I don’t owe the full balance all at once, and can make smaller payments over time to pay down the outstanding balance. This is different from, for example, a consistent monthly payment like my mortgage that I absolutely owe the full amount every month.

As I mentioned before, the best part about the service and tracking accounts in general is the visibility it provides to all of your outstanding balances that you have scattered around.

Amazon or Target Purchases

I’ve noticed Amazon.com and Target purchases are difficult to handle for a few reasons. I’ll focus on Amazon but the same applies to Target, or any store that carries products across different categories.

Amazon groups together items based on shipping which causes multiple charges

Most orders span multiple budget categories as a single purchase

My credit card charges sometimes appear different than what Amazon shows as the final price

Any rewards points I apply to orders further mess up the true totals that each item cost

What I’ve been doing to handle this is to manually break down each Amazon order in other system (like a spreadsheet) and tally up the total cost per budget category, then enter that into YNAB. Then when the actual credit card charges come through, you have to remember to delete those from YNAB because (if you’re a good budgeter) you should have already entered the expenses right after placing the Amazon order.

I’ve also started avoiding using rewards points if I still have budget room because it becomes near impossible to determine the true cost of each item when you apply a random rewards dollar amount. I could divide the number of items from the total order amount, but that assumes each item cost the same, which is hardly ever true.

This is something I’m still fine-tuning each month, and maybe someday I’ll have a more solid approach.

Closing Thoughts

Over the next few months of using YNAB I plan to really focus hard on each of my budgeting categories and determine where money is leaking out too easily so I can cut costs.

As the service promotes, having a budget is not about restriction but about enabling more visibility and empowerment of your money, and freeing yourself of financial stress. It’s more of a mindset than it is just software calculations.

Don’t worry if you don’t grasp it all at first, or find it hard to stick to a particular budget. It’s all about setting up the pattern and habits that will help you become more aware of your spending habits, and provide peace of mind. At the very least, just going through the routine of checking your budget before making a purchase is a step in the right direction.

If you’ve read this far and are thinking of signing up, feel free to use my referral link to get us both a free month of the service.

This course is for all who want to not only become financially free but also stay true to their highest spiritual values.

In other words, it’s for those who want to be kind, generous, balanced, loving, spiritual and really, really, really rich so that they can live a glorious life and leave a positive mark on the world.

Have you ever noticed that most spiritual people seem to struggle financially?

To me, that’s not only a shame… but also completely unnecessary.

That’s why — if you consider yourself to be a spiritual person, but you’d also like to have more money — what you see on this page will change your life.

Because…

I’m going to teach you exactly how you can be a kind, loving, peaceful, balanced and spiritual person… AND get really, really rich.

Yes, both.

Rich and spiritual.

(And blend them beautifully together in your life)

T. Harv Eker

Instructor Profile T. Harv Eker

T. Harv Eker, the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Secrets of the Millionaire Mind (with over a million copies sold) and creator of the globally successful Millionaire Mind Intensive seminars, is one of the greatest millionaire makers the world has ever seen.

Harv has taught over 1.5 million people how to create financial freedom through his Millionaire Mind Intensive seminars, with attendees investing up to $20,000 for his coaching.

Using the exact principles he shares, Harv went from zero to millionaire in only 2.5 years.

Prior to that, during his 12 years of struggle, he vowed that should he ever get rich, he would help others do the same. He kept his promise and has now helped over 1.5 million people to move closer to their goal of complete financial freedom.

Featured as the world’s foremost prosperity expert on CNN, NBC and Fox News and in Forbes, USA Today, The New York Times and Men’s Health, Harv is the only teacher who effectively blends financial and spiritual abundance.

It’s no wonder that Tony Robbins — the world’s top peak performance strategist — says, “Study Harv’s work as if your life depended on it — financially it may!”

From T. Harv Eker: The Real Truth About Money & Spirituality Now, what you will learn is not normally what’s taught.

NO.

In fact, it’s just the opposite.

Sure, a lot of people teach about money and business — but very seldom do they talk about heart and spirit. And among the many wonderful spiritual teachers… most of them would never DARE talk about money and wealth.

And why would they?

To be honest, most of them are broke… because they’ve bought into the myth that wealth and luxury are somehow “unspiritual “. My friend, it doesn’t have to be that way.

Why?

Simply because money and spirituality do NOT need to be mutually exclusive.

10 Years Of Broke, Tough, Humiliating Struggle Trust me, I didn’t always know that.

Ever since I could remember, I did everything I could to get rich.

And over a period of 10 humiliating struggle-filled years, I went through 12 different businesses — and 14 different jobs — trying to find my vehicle to wealth.

But even after an entire decade spent chasing wealth, I faced two problems.

I was still broke.

I wasn’t happy!

So I made a decision — striving for millions was NOT the answer Instead, I started studying Zen Buddhism. I went on spiritual retreats. I had my own guru with whom I studied daily.

For a period, I even considered becoming a monk and living in a monastery!

Three years later… guess what?

I was still broke…. and worse… I was still miserable.

My Darkest Moment Stop and put yourself in my shoes for a minute.

For 13 long years I’d been “seeking” to create a better life for me and my family. And all I’d really learned was two things:

1. Striving only for wealth didn’t work.

2. Even worse — striving only for spirituality didn’t work, either!

I was completely lost… and didn’t know what to do.

I felt frustrated. I was confused. I became depressed.

And then came my darkest moment.

I remember sitting in the dark, looking up at the heavens with tears in my eyes and begging, “What do I do? Do I try to make money… or do I try to follow the spiritual path?”

And then…

Finally… An Answer! Explaining what happened next is a little difficult… but it completely changed my life.

In that instant, my mind went completely blank — and my heart seemed to open.

And I heard this voice come through — and to — me.

This voice said, very specifically, “Harv… embrace BOTH parts of yourself.” And in that moment, all of my questions were answered.

I felt in total alignment with spirit and life.

And I had the most beautiful thought I’d had in 13 years: “Of course! Why should I have to choose? I can be spiritual AND rich!”

From Zero To Happy Millionaire In 2.5 Years So… I began to think and act differently. I started to blend my spirituality with my work.

And guess what?

My life changed to a point where just 2.5 years later, I was not only happy… but also rich. A millionaire!

Here’s how it happened: I started a “passion” business — by putting $2500 down on my credit card. Now I suspect you might be thinking, “Oh no! He went into debt!”

But hold a moment…

About 2.5 years later, the Heinz company bought that business for over a million dollars. So that “debt” made me a millionaire.

And guess what?

That was just the start of my balanced, happy, abundant life…

Learn How To Blend Spirituality With Money From there, I have gone on to live a very spiritual life and become a multi, multi, multi, multi, multi (and I could go on for a few minutes!), multi-millionaire. And now I have taught over 1.5 million people from all over the world how to do what I did — to combine inner peace, balance, happiness and spirit…. WITH massive financial success.

The First Secret To Spiritual Wealth The first thing I want you to realize is this:

Spirit — the universe — is incredibly abundant.

There is an abundance of EVERYTHING! Stars, planets, animals, trees and people. Money. Look around you. Undeniably, we live in a world of abundance.

So here’s a tough question for you to consider: If spirit is so abundant — and you aren’t — how connected and spiritual can you really be?

Is Money Really The Root Of All Evil? Of course, some people will point to the bible, which says, “Money is the root of all evil”.

Well…. that’s not actually what the bible says at all!

The bible teaches that “loving money is the root of all evil”.

And I agree.

Loving money is not a good thing.

But loving money — and having money — are completely different!

An Idea About Money That Can Change Your Life Let me give you one idea right now that can change your life.

Here it is.

You can — and should! — use your kindness, your generosity, your spirituality and your desire for balance in your life in your favor… to create any level of financial success that you want.

Think about it:

You can use your greatest spiritual gifts to get rich.

And… best of all… you can help thousands and thousands of others along the way.

And that — by the way — is how you make a lot of money!

You make a lot of money by helping a lot of people.

That’s why getting rich is actually a spiritual act.

And here’s what’s so exciting: The Spiritual Laws of Money program will show you exactly what to do to balance being kind, generous, loving and spiritual…

With getting really, really rich!

The 8 Blocks To Your Financial Success & 8 Spiritual Laws To Eliminating Them Whenever you set a big new financial goal, you’re going to encounter some challenges you’re going to hit a wall at some point.

But here’s the thing:

A lot of people in life come up against a wall… they see the wall stopping them… and they go no further.

They don’t understand they can go over the wall… around the wall… or under the wall. Over the course of the years teaching over 1.5 million people, I’ve come across eight such walls. I call ‘em “millionaire blocks.”

And I also discovered that when these eight blocks are removed, ANYONE — I repeat, ANYONE — can experience rapid financial success… much, much, much faster others.

But — stick with me — and I’ll show you how to blast right through them.

Why You’re Not Rich Yet Here’s the good news:

What this means is that if you’re not manifesting the wealth that you want in your life right now, it’s simply because you are being BLOCKED by one (or more) of these eight obstacles.

My job as your coach is to help you identify your blocks… and make them vanish like David Copperfield made the Statue of Liberty disappear.

(I’ve already helped 1.5 million people so far, and I can help you!) And once you’ve eliminated these eight blocks, you will naturally flow toward all the money you need — and more — for yourself and for your family… and still have plenty left over to help others as well.

So let me ask you a question:

What If There Were A Way To Retrain Your Mind To Overcome These 8 Blocks So You Could Be A Millionaire, The Spiritual Way? Would that help you?

The Spiritual Laws Of Money This Is How We Structured The Program So You Get The Best Results In The Shortest Time

Here’s a detailed breakdown of each week of your program:

WEEK

Money, Self-Worth and Deservedness

If you made a few mistakes and are in debt up to your eyeballs and you don’t know how you’ll ever escape, or you are stuck in a dead-end job and you hate going to work with a passion … and you’ve always wondered why some people are successful in all of their financial dealings… then this will be the most important week of the program.

I’ll help you to believe — at the deepest level — that being rich is your birthright. And by answering your most urgent questions, I’ll help you quickly make explosive improvements to your financial self-worth. This means you’ll feel more comfortable earning a larger income… be happy to make a great living doing what you love… and feel excited for the journey ahead.

After our first week together you’ll feel — for the first time — that you 100% deserve to be rich and happy… and you’ll be on the road to riches.

WEEK

Money, Balance and Enjoying the Journey

Did you know that most broke people believe that they must work really, really hard — and for really long hours — in order to get rich? This simply isn’t true! (I’ll reveal exactly why in this week.)

Plus, you’ll discover why enjoying the journey along the way is ESSENTIAL… learn how to make great money doing what you love… and begin to understand the “Fast Lane” approach to exploding your income.

I’ll also teach you the ONLY place you can ever get money from — and the ONLY way you can ever earn more money (and keep it!). Plus, I’ll answer your questions around work-life balance… and help you get unstuck.

By the end of our second week together, you will feel inspired, revitalized… and be ready to start making more money — but by putting in fewer hours.

WEEK

Money and Money Management

In this week, you’ll be exploring THREE key skills.

Earning More Money.

Keeping Money.

Growing Money.

Because when you get really good at these three skills, you will get rich. The problem is, most people are really BAD at money management!

(Mainly because they haven’t been taught a fun, exciting and effective way to do it.) That’s why in this week, I’ll show you a simple — and practically effortless — way for you to earn more money, keep more money and GROW your net worth… all while staying true to your deeper, spiritual side.

This approach is simple… powerful… and dramatically effective.

And still, we’re just getting started!

WEEK

Money, Purpose and Passion

In this week, I’ll help you to discover your purpose — we all have one — and, crucially, show you the fastest ways to profit from it.

This will be transformational for you — because you get to experience a unique Q&A format of mine that will uncover the UNIQUE skill that you’re supposed to be sharing with the world…

… and I’ll reveal some proven ways you can instantly start cashing in on it!

Imagine: By the end of our fourth week together, you will have a clear sense of what you LOVE to do. You’ll feel confident — certain — that you can make money with your passions. And you’ll see the clear next steps for you to take to start raking in the cash.

Best of all, you’ll realize the truth of the saying “when you love your work, you’ll never work another day in your life”… and you’ll start living from this truth.

WEEK

Money, Mind and Fear

What you learn in this week will amaze you — because you’ll finally let go of your deep, lingering doubts about making money and unlock your full money-making magnetism!

Let me say this:

If you’ve ever thought you were too old / too young / not smart enough / too scared / too broke / too (fill in the blank) to get rich… you simply MUST experience this lesson.

Why? Because I’ll help you rewire your “Money Blueprint” — so you quickly eliminate the subconscious fears that are holding you back.

Afterward, you will feel ONLY positive, prosperous and abundant beliefs around money… with none of the fear… which makes it far more likely you’ll succeed!

WEEK

Money and Relationships

Did you know that money is the #1 cause of problems in relationships?

I bet you did!

Well, not anymore… because in this week, I’ll be helping you to untangle your relationships from your finances (and make so much more money that it’ll never be an issue for you again).

It doesn’t matter if you fight about not having enough money; if your partner is threatened by your success (or the other way around); or if you’re not sure how to balance money with raising kids — or one of a thousand other relationship challenges tied to money…

This week will help you experience better relationships AND create more abundance for your family… which is the ultimate win-win situation.

WEEK

Money, Income and Freedom

In our seventh week together, I’ll help you eliminate one of the most dangerous blocks to becoming rich — the idea that time is linked to money!

In this week, you’ll discover the “secrets” of passive income… learn how to leverage your passions to get paid while you sleep… and find out how you can create an incredible life filled with freedom, purpose AND abundance.

Plus, you’ll discover your “Financial Freedom” number — the amount of money you need to live your dream life — and put together a plan to reach it, in less time than you think.

In fact, by this stage of our coaching, you’ll be further ahead than you’ve ever been in your life before… and your Money Blueprint will be “set” for bigger success.

This leads us to our final week together…

WEEK

Money and Spirituality

If you’ve ever wondered if YOU can be really spiritual… AND get really, really rich, this week is the one for you.

By the way, if you feel like this…

It’s not your fault!

After all, almost all religions say that you CAN’T be spiritual and rich. The media programs us to believe that rich = evil. And you probably have spiritual friends who are stone-cold broke.

That’s why in this week you’ll learn that “the secret” to combining money and spirituality is doing work you love — and helping people — so you’ll instantly start to feel really good about making more money.

PLUS… You Get 8 of My Most Powerful Millionaire Visualizations As Separate MP3s

Visualization is a key exercise, and it is taken from the training in order for you to access it easily when you want to practice. Each week contains a visualization.

And these powerful exercises will literally rewire your brain to think and act like a millionaire.

Just experiencing these each day before going to sleep or in the morning to start your day — for the 21 days straight — will transform your Money Blueprint like nothing you’ve seen before.

(These alone are worth the entire cost of the program.)

They are THAT powerful.

By the end of this program, you will feel at peace — certain you are on the right path — and armed with all the tools, techniques and systems to help you dramatically and quickly boost your income… all while staying true to your deepest, most spiritual self.

And An Incredible E-Book About Making Money Fast

SpeedWealth By T. Harv Eker

The SpeedWealth system described in this book is for people who already own a business, for people who want to own a business, and for people who have a job now, but want the security of “knowing” they can succeed on their own if they leave their job or it leaves them. You will discover timeless strategies to create wealth fast in any economy along with.

8 power principles to create a dynamic business system to create wealth quickly. The law of income and how it’s either working for you or against you. A common mistake that most people make that could be preventing you from achieving the type of wealth you desire. The 8-letter word that will help you work smarter instead of harder (if you’re not using this you’re working too hard and earning too little). Perhaps The Most Advanced Money Mindset & Spirituality Program Available

Overall, I am confident this is the most advanced money mindset and spirituality training available — anywhere.

This program is the result of over 20 years of research, optimization and experience with literally over 1.5 million people, from all over the world.

You’ll get eight done-for-you coaching sessions (recordings) — where hundreds of students grilled me about my eight spiritual laws — which will give you clear, high-energy, ‘cut-to-the-chase’ style action steps to become a millionaire, the spiritual way.

And look, unlike most “prosperity teachers,” I practice what I preach. I meditate and do yoga every day… do work I love that genuinely helps people… and I am a multi, multi, multi, multi, multi, multi-millionaire!

In other words…

I can — and will — help you to create more abundance!

The Spiritual Laws of Money: Now Accessible To Everyone

Over the past 20 years I’ve personally spent hundreds of thousands of dollars — perhaps more — improving my money-making and spiritual abilities, learning from the very best teachers on the planet…

And what I’m sharing with you is absolutely at the cutting edge.

If you were to look to hire any other coach to help you make more money doing work you love — while staying true to your deepest spiritual truths — you’d easily spend tens of thousands of dollars in accumulated fees.

(And I’m confident NONE of these coaches would be as effective as I am because I’ve dedicated my life to teaching 1.5 million people this topic… with extraordinary results.)

Plus, if you wanted private coaching with me at any other time, you’d be paying me thousands of dollars — and that’s if I were available.

What you’re learning in The Spiritual Laws of Money program are the exact secrets and strategies that over 1000 people paid close to $1000 each ($995) to discover.

A Program That Pays For Itself Within Days And Multiplies Your Abundance Many Times Over

But I’m not claiming you’ll have the exact results yourself.

What if, as a result of applying the principles and practicing the visualizations you’ll find in The Spiritual Laws of Money program, your income didn’t double?

What if you only saw a 10% gain?

How much would that be worth to you?

$5,000? $10,000? $20,000? $40,000?

Whatever that might be, I’m dead sure that it’s more than the $1000 that the original participants paid. In that sense, $1000 is a bargain.

But I’m not asking you to invest that much today.

Pound it! Ten Takeaways from Eagles 26, Chargers 24

Sometime during the second quarter of the Eagles’ 26-24 Sunday win, a FOX producer took us to commercial break with audio of Old Dirty Bastard’s “Shimmy Shimmy Ya.”

Oooo baby I like it raw. Yea baby I like it raaawwww!

It was an accurate foreshadowing, as the Birds raw-dogged the Chargers with a 13-play, six-minute drive to finish off the road victory.

Last year’s Eagles might have found a way to lose this one.

Instead, Doug Pederson called a great game, Carson Wentz played smart football, and a banged up defense did enough to get the job done on the “road,” which was actually a soccer stadium filled with Eagles fans.

Most important, I think, was the way they came out after an emotional home win last week. Don’t sleep on the “letdown” angle of this ballgame. Even after another shaky start to the fourth quarter, the offense rallied with a dominant drive to put away Los Angeles, or “San Diego,” as Mark Schlereth would say.

So the Birds are 3-1 overall and 2-0 in the division, with the Cowboys and Giants losing on Sunday and the Redskins probably losing tonight. They’ve won more road games this year than the entirety of 2016 and four of the next five are at Lincoln Financial Field.

It’s hard to find much to complain about at this point. Instead of wondering whether this team is any good, we’re wondering just how good they can be, though it’s fair to point out that they did start 3-1 last year.

1. Is this.. a three-headed monster?

The Birds ran for 214 yards behind a 51 to 49 run/pass ratio (sort of). There were 37 called runs and 36 called pass plays, which really skews to 35/36 because of two quarterback kneels at the end of the game.

Basically it’s as close to 50/50 as you’re going to get.

LeGarrette Blount ran it 16 times while Wendell Smallwood and Corey Clement handled it 10 times each, so not only was the play calling balanced, but the distribution among the backs was very even as well.

Smallwood took the type of snaps that Darren Sproles would get, running mostly out of the shotgun. Blount was used from under center formations primarily, but they did try a couple east/west shotgun looks that obviously didn’t work.

Here’s Blount’s chart:

Notice that his least effective runs were east/west head scratchers?

Maybe most interesting was the fourth quarter usage of Clement, as he converted third downs on his 9th and 10th carries of the game. That follows up last week’s fourth quarter touchdown run. It’s strange to see Pederson go to the rookie in the final stages of these games, but he’s answered the call with success now two weeks in a row. Credit where it’s due.

2. Bend it like Jake Elliott

I haven’t seen anyone kick the ball like that since David Beckham played in this stadium!

Hurr hurr hurr! A soccer joke!

Anyway, Jake Elliott nailed kicks from 40, 45, 47, and 53 yards in this game, and not a single one looked iffy. If he finished 3/4 we’re talking about a 24-23 Eagles loss.

It looks like the kicking game isn’t going to be an issue, but let’s not get carried away:

Are we taking Jake Elliott for granted already? When he went for that 51-52 yard FG, I legit stood up and almost left to go to the bathroom

— GoBirds (@joslewis) October 1, 2017

3. I don’t get it

The Eagles “left guard by committee” thing continues.

Stefan Wisniewski started the game, then ended up splitting time again with Chance Warmack. From that point on, it looked like they switched every two series, but I’m not really sure what the logic is behind the move. Wisniewski was playing fine as the Eagles took a 10-0 lead on their first two drives.

We’ll see what Doug has to say about this on Monday afternoon.

4. Throw the ball down the field

Sean Cottrell wrote last week about Carson Wentz’s deep ball ability. There were a variety of reasons why he was misfiring on passes of 20 yards or more.

This week, he nailed a couple of these looks, including this seam-splitter to Zach Ertz:

Perfect trajectory and touch again by Wentz on the seam route, this time hitting Ertz in stride for 38 yds http://pic.twitter.com/VjgkNSFs80

— The Bitter Birds (@AdrianFedkiw) October 1, 2017

Wentz had another great ball for Torrey Smith, which the wide receiver dropped.

It’s a clean pocket, a quick drop, feet set, and right on the money:

http://ift.tt/2g4DC7o

Smith, to his credit, acknowledged the play after the game:

In the middle of the worst stretch of my career…I'll bounce back…proud of the team

— Torrey Smith (@TorreySmithWR) October 1, 2017

Wentz finished 2/6 for 74 yards on passes in that 20+ yard range. He would have finished 3/6 for ~101 yards if Smith had made that grab.

5. Max protect and beat ’em deep

Last week, the Eagles played soft coverage underneath to protect a young secondary and keep Chris Maragos from having to deal with Odell Beckham, Jr. and company in space.

Even with Rodney McLeod back in the fold, it was somewhat similar this week, though the Chargers were much better at gaining yards after the play and the Birds’ tackling was subpar.

The only time they were really torched deep was the first touchdown, when Tyrell Williams got past Rasul Douglas:

75-yard TD!

Philip Rivers launches it DEEP to Tyrell Williams for a @Chargers score. #Chargers #PHIvsLAC http://pic.twitter.com/0cn0Uvut9G

— NFL (@NFL) October 1, 2017

You notice in that clip that the Eagles safeties are nowhere to be found.

When you rewind, you see the Chargers in max protect against a four-man rush. The safeties back off a bit but then bite on the play-action, plus the intermediate route from the second receiver, which gives Williams a chance to beat Douglas with a double move and take it to the house.

You see both safeties at the far left of that clip bite, while Jalen Mills (top left) realizes what’s happening, but can’t bail out Douglas until Williams is already gone.

6. If it ain’t broke..

Running the ball led to success with play-action, and the Eagles abused it with some really nice slants.

They ran the same play two times in a row in the second quarter for gains of 12 and 14 yards, respectively:

http://ift.tt/2g4ye46

Later, they ran it again for a big gain and called it another time unsuccessfully, which was a less accurate pass that might have involved some pass interference against Ertz.

I’m pretty sure they ran the above play four times.

And why not? If it’s working, keep doing it. Doug did the same thing in Week 3 with a pair of back-to-back sweep plays for Smallwood.

7. Protecting the football

For the first time this season, the Eagles didn’t turn the ball over.

Outside of Carson Wentz recovering his own fumble, there really weren’t any hairy moments in this department.

The Birds have seven takeaways and five turnovers this season for a +2 margin. Detroit leads the league with a +9 while Chicago bottoms out at -7.

8. Doug’s worst call?

I didn’t like the decision to throw short of the sticks on third down during the first drive. LA bailed out the Birds with an offside call.

I’m also not sure about running Smallwood on third and 8 on the first drive of the third quarter. It seemed like Wentz may have called an audible there.

The only other thing that stood out to me was the decision to try to pound it in multiple times after Blount’s ridiculous beast mode run. They ran him twice up the middle, which was fine, but then tried to go east/west, which didn’t work. The Chargers again took a terrible penalty (hands to the face) to keep the drive alive.

9. Doug’s best call?

Big fan of the fake end-around screen play on the second drive. They tried something similar later in the series that almost blew up in the backfield, but Wentz was able to find Blount on the other side of the field for another big gain.

I thought it was the right move to punt on that fourth and short before the half. Even if LA made a big gain to start out the ensuing drive, it was a pass underneath and a poor tackle attempt, not a scenario where they were two passes away from setting up a field goal.

I also thought the hand off to Clement in the third quarter to set up the Wentz sneak was the appropriate “four down territory” type of play call.

10. “Home field” advantage

Yeah, it was great to see all of those Eagles fans in the house, but it’s sad that a NFL team is sharing a stadium with the Los Angeles Galaxy, who used to share that stadium with the now-defunct Chivas USA. Carson, California is kinda crappy anyway.

Los Angeles doesn’t need two NFL teams. Do they even need one? We’re gonna go from having teams in San Diego, Oakland, and Saint Louis, to having two in LA and one in Las Vegas. That seems kind of redundant to me.

It’s bad enough watching MLS teams like the New England Revolution share a field with the Patriots, then play on turf with football lines painted on the field. It’s another thing to see the penalty area and soccer markings in a 27,000 capacity arena that now hosts professional football (as a secondary tenant).

Surely there was a better way to handle this.

Struggles from the booth

I’m not gonna rag too much on Dick Stockton and Mark Schlereth for continually saying “San Diego” instead of “Los Angeles.” It’s gonna take time for people to get used to the fact that the Chargers are playing in a new city.

There were some other weird moments, though, such as Alshon Jeffery being called Alshon “Jefferies” multiple times, and a moment where I’m pretty sure Stockton said “loans” when he meant to say “Lowe’s.”

Stockton also mentioned at the end of the game that a touchdown would ice it for the Eagles, but LA didn’t have any remaining timeouts, so they just took a knee instead. I swear I also heard one of the two call Carson Wentz “Carson Palmer,” but maybe I was losing it at that point.

The most bizarre moment was right after the Eagles went up 16-7, when C.S. Lewis’ fantasy world of “Narnia” was invoked.

Schlereth: “One of my favorite players, right here, Jason Peters. You watch him one-on-one, with with the defensive back that comes off the corner. Look at this right here. Look at this move. I don’t know where he went to school. I think he went to the University of Narnia, because you cannot be that big and that athletic and that smooth. I love it.”

Stockton: “I got my master’s (degree) at that school.”

Schlereth: “Did you?”

Stockton: “Third down and eight…”
