"Discover How A Struggling Musician Turned Super Star IT Manager In Record Time...
And How You Can Too, By Following
This Simple Step By Step System..."

Date: From: Joey Smith Subject: IT Management Success University - witness the transformation

Dear IT professional,

There was a time where I was as lost and stressed-out as they come. I mean, I could not even sleep at night, was cranky, not my self and pretty much dreaded life! And quite frankly, I'm surprised my wife stayed with me through those bad times.

Because you see, I didn't go to college to become an IT professional.  In fact, I majored in music at Georgia State University.  After spending my time out of college trying to make it as a musician, I got married and quickly had to start producing an income. 

Back in college I met a guy named Scott who majored in Information Systems.  I kept in touch with him after I got married and called him for advice on how to make money.  After all, he was driving a nice car, just bought a new house and was the envy of my friends.

He encouraged me to get into IT and said that the opportunity was good if I got serious about it.  Back then, I couldn't even spell IT.  That was the running joke.  I was also never serious.  That's why he used to call me an ID-10-T around his IT friends.  I had  no idea was he was talking about until later.  Much later. :-(

So around 1996, I was quickly thrown into a system admin role at a Microsoft consulting partner here in Georgia. 

I got that job without having any experience or education.  Scott, who was currently working there as a consultant gave me high recommendations after mentoring me to become an MCSE. (Behind closed doors however, he told me that I had better not screw this up because his reputation was riding on it.)  - Even still to this day, I have no idea why Scott put his neck on the line for me.  I guess that's what great friends are for.

But not all things were good.  It was a starting position and I had high hopes and dreams of getting more certifications and learning the ropes under a well seasoned certified professional.  After all, I had tests passed, but no experience.

"Fake It Until You Make It Was A Slogan Scott Taught Me That I
Would Come To Resent as Well as My Family..."

You see, before I got hired, I dabbled a bit in HTML.  Nothing big, just a little bit to put up my music websites.  The consulting firm I was now working for needed a web programmer, and there was no one in sight but me.  Since I had put down HTML on my resume to appear to have some experience I was immediately called for that duty. 

The company translated my experience as "web programmer." 

Now, you and I both know there is a HUGE difference between the two.

Life in IT Would Never Get Easier...  You'll Never Know Everything...  So I was told...

Have you ever thought that or came to that conclusion?

I became like the typical IT professional.  I subscribed to about 20 IT trade journals, went to every IT conference imaginable, got certified in many technologies, learned programming, became a certified trainer and spent hours upon hours trying to keep up!  I still couldn't get ahead of the curve.

Every Saturday, my wife and I would go to the local bookstore to "spend some quality time" together.  This amounted to me going one way in the bookstore and her going another.  Usually I just camped out in the computer section trying to learn to get around some problem I was facing.  This was stress relief.  Not.

However, November 11th, 1998, something new happen.  I grabbed a leadership book that was sitting on the front counter that struck my eye.  I don't know why I grabbed it.  It had nothing to do with IT.  This was out of the ordinary.  You could say it was a coincidence, but some would argue that coincidences are mathematically impossible.  I am now convinved and you'll see why below...

I am so glad I did, because my life took a twist as well as my IT career.  A HUGE twist.

You would have thought I was studying for a certification exam by the intensity of my expression.

Then, 90 days later the fireworks started to go off...

• The first was the 1999 Microsoft Project of the Year presented by Bill Gates himself.
   
• The second was an article that appeared in Windows Enterprise Magazine about the cutting-edge Knowledge Management system I built for my Fortune Top 50 client.
   
• The third was being invited to speak for the 1999 Microsoft Developer Days here in Atlanta in front of 1500 IT professionals explaining Windows DNA and the new 2000 architecture.
   
• The fourth was being promoted to a senior consultant at the firm I was working for.

As you can see, whatever it was that I learned, it had amazing results.  This all happened simultaneously while reducing my hours and stress!

My schedule also changed.  Now, I was sleeping at night and no longer had to learn everything and work from 6am till 10pm.  I started going in at 10am after spending time with my wife and children in the morning and coming home around 5pm before dinner.

During this time amazing things were happening, I took my first three week vacation and traveled across the entire United States with my family and came back to a tripled income.

For the First Time in My Life, I Was a Star. 
Not a Rock Star Like I Once Dreamed, but Close...

• a broke music major at the end of my rope
   
• starting out with no experience in IT
   
• somewhat not technical and had no education in IT when I started
   
• was labeled as an ID-10-T by my IT friends
   

... it's amazing to me, people like Joan from Spain have had huge results following this same program. We are normal people, just like you. It sounds cliché, but If we can do it, so can you.

As a chief officer, I was on the inner-circle of a world-renown leadership team.  Imagine being a leader of a leadership company! 

The results continued and are shocking...

You can get access to it immediately.

If you have not invested in leadership, strategy and success, let me be the first to tell you that it is paramount to skyrocket your results!

For me, it made all the difference. 

Learning that new piece of technology didn't get my results but learning leadership sure did!

You are going to succeed because like I said earlier, I have distilled down all of the techniques, tips, tricks and strategies that secured my position as well as launching me into a raging success in this industry.  As I told you before, the leadership gurus of all gurus, John Maxwell, even awarded me with the prestigious 2001 Leader of the Year!  This award was presented to me over the president, VP of marketing, VP of sales, and CFO. 

Why?  Because I practiced the techniques found in the IT Manager Success System.  Now you can too!

I also want to mention one thing here real quick. This training is not like the other IT manager training out there.  It is not a "how-to" manual filled with operational tasks about how to pick a vendor, etc. 

As a matter of fact, IT trainers out there are trying to devise ways to put the hush-hush on this information since it is so revealing.  The details in this system threaten their very survival.  Let's just keep that between us...

These are the exact strategies and techniques that I can unequivocally point to as being responsible for my track record and success. 

This training is principle-based and will make you a successful manager.  See for yourself.
