A few weeks ago I sent out a newsletter about how tough things are becoming financially with the introduction of the National Credit Act just over a year ago, the several interest rate hikes that we have experienced over the last few months and the never ending increases in fuel and food prices. The response that I received has been overwhelming. People have been asking how I could help them or if I know of anyone that could possibly help them.
The world seems to work in mysterious ways - yesterday I was chatting to an old friend of mine who specializes in helping small businesses and he was telling me some really scary statistics about the number of businesses that are going under and how business conditions have become so difficult for the small business owner. My friend’s name is Peter Carruthers.
In 1992 he lost everything in his business’s collapse. In 1995, after huge amounts of research, he started showing and teaching people how to stay out of trouble. I was lucky enough to attend one of his early
CrashProof seminars. The seminar was very useful and to this day I continue to implement some of his ideas and suggestions and I must tell you that they certainly do help.
During my conversation with Peter yesterday, he told me that he had just taken a call from a business owner who was worried about the credit crunch and how he could not afford R1,197.00 for a mere seminar right now.
This is roughly how the conversation went:
"What can you tell me that I don't already know after 7 years in business?" he asked;
"How big is your overdraft?" Peter asked;
"R100,000.00" he replied;
"Would you come to the seminar if I promised to put R26.90 into your bank account every day for the rest of your business life? That means that just one tactic I will share with you will save you R1,197.00 over 45 days, including weekends. And that same tactic will save you R1197.00 every 45 days for the rest of your business life. Bear in mind that this is money that you are just wasting each and every day" Peter asked;
"How can you do that?" he enquired;
"I will show you why your bank charges you so much interest on your overdraft, and why 99% of us let them get away with it. That means you are wasting R1197.00 every 45 days. This is money that you are currently wasting because your banker knows a bit more about his money than you do. The last time you negotiated with your banker he knew something that you didn't. That knowledge allowed him to charge you more than you should be paying. I will enlighten you and show how to fix that so that your banker will happily cut your interest rate between 5% and 7%. Of course, that's just one of a whole group of tactics that will save you money, secure your life assets, and make sure that the only person who can close your business is you!" Peter responded…………………………………..(Peter talks a lot!)
Your bank is going to make money from you - credit crunch or not! Peter’s CrashProof seminar will enlighten you and share a set of tactics that will slash your risks and costs - and your banker will love you for it! I strongly recommend his course.
During our conversation Peter informed me that he is running his seminar in Cape Town, Sandton and Durban during August 2008. They are almost full, so don't delay!
But wait there’s more (sounds like an advert we all know). Because I know that there must be some scepticism out there and that people are not really sure if this will work for them. I have negotiated with Peter that if these three hours are not the most riveting event of your career, Peter will gladly give you a full refund.
