 After more than two dozen years helping everyday people start and run a "real" business they can call their own, at NO (or at little cost anyway) cost to them, it's time close the doors, shutter the windows and move on...
... and here are the reasons why: The scammers, cheats, con-men and phony guru's have finally had their way. They've won the battle for your hearts and minds with their constant barrage of empty promises and hyperbole. They have lied, cheated and stolen their way to the top - and took your money for their worthless, tired and worn-out stuff. Most of which is pure, unadulterated horse manure!
And costly for their customers in terms of time, effort and money... and the deep psychological blows they unknowingly deliver to a hopeful multitude of everyday people on a daily basis!
And now my friends, because they have had their own corrupt and thieving way in the world of online business information, legitimate sites that actually helped people start and run a successful business at little or no cost are no longer believed - or trusted - as they once were. It's a case now where everyone loses, even the "good guys" who have been helping folks for years and years at their own personal expense, and sometimes, heavy losses to their own businesses too.
And so I say... I'm sorry - the days of freely given, quality and valuable business information are about to be long past... and so the long and difficult nightmare now begins..
So, it is with great sadness that I now return to my "real-world" (offline) business where I DO help everyday, ordinary folks - ones just like you and me - start and run their own real-world micro-businesses... at prices they can afford... with a better than 90% success rate too.
You see, these everyday, "regular" people that can and do succeed realize that there is no "quick & easy" way to achieve success. They know that they will have to work for every hard-won dollar they earn. They have realized that the customer IS their boss! They also know that the best "biz-opp" is one they've created for themselves - not that "biz-in-a-box" and "instant business" latest "get-rich-quick" fad or "underground" gimmick the gurus, scammers, con-men and slick MLM/NWM operators are offering. They understand that sort of thing is a suckers bet... but they realize they'll need some help along the way - real help, not a hindrance the "guru-garbage" offers.
But... there is still hope!
First, I will take all of the great business information I've posted over the past 17+ years online and lots of things never before released by me, building a new section of this site to archive most of it. Much of this information will be free for public viewing and use.. with the more detailed and extensive files reserved and available to members of our FORUM, The ECN BLOG...
..and for serious learners that want to train, I have a joint venture "Micro-Business Builders" online course and information reserve... The ECN Institute. Business builders training - done right! This site features our "Master Micro Business Builders" manual, workbook and online training course.
Did I mention that all of this is FREE to read online? No? .... Well, it is. ...and, it's my legacy to YOU! Use it in good wealth. NB: Should YOU have an interest in the more extensive training materials I use (or offline copies of) to help my offline friends and neighbors get started and run their own businesses, I will of course make these materials available for a reasonable investment on your part. This will be done through a new "premium" membership site. The membership fee's will be reasonable and easily affordable for most people. That URL is yet to be determined, but WILL be online soon.
And, of course, I will also be available for coaching and mentoring for my online friends and clients, much the same as I do for my offline, "real-world" friends. Some of that will be on The ECN Institute website - for FREE! I will note here that a few online training scholarships (90% discount on fees) will be available for proven, capable people in need, and recent combat veterans and their families. The details of these, and the qualifying process will be detailed on a new page here, on EntreComm.Net. Please be patient as getting all of this done will take a little more time for this new way of helping people up and working correctly. For now, both the Forum and Blog are up and doing their job! Lot's of great information there already, and being added to on nearly a daily basis. See you there?
When the rest is ready, I will post (on the forum and blog) a new directory for your use in navigating these many, many hundreds of archived (and MANY previously unpublished) pages. If you have any questions, suggestions or feedback, please email me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Please use this email address: nick[at]entrecomm[dot]net and add an appropriate subject line, preceded with: "An ECN question."
Thanks!
And good luck in all that you do in the future...
