Hardcore Workout Finishers
Yesterday morning, after a TT-style workout of: Squats, Kettlebell Swings, Front Squats, and Ab Wheel Rollouts …I was walking home when I passed a 50-year old guy shuffling down the street. He was wearing a shirt that said, “Your workout is my warm-up.” Uh, yeah, right bud. Whatever. I’m not a big fan of people…

Last night I wanted a drink really bad… …you see, it was a hot, sunny, summer’s night here in Toronto. Ol’ Bally the Dog had just been swimming down in cool, clear Lake Ontario, and by the time we walked home my throat was parched and sweat was dripping off my forehead (we live at…

Many of the business books you get these days are full of fluff. The real lessons come from men and women who don’t really have the time to write. That’s why I’m working with a successful CEO to drag out the valuable lessons that he needs to pass on to the world. Last week we…

Earlier this year I had a launch that almost went really, really, really bad. Well, we saved the day with an affiliate contest and really, really strong final day sales. In fact, we tripled the results of Day 1 and 2, as this beautiful Clickbank sales results chart shows us. Hurray for deadlines! But a…

I first met my friend Chris a few years ago at one of Yanik Silver’s swanky Maverick Business Adventure meet-ups at the Fontainebleau Hotel in South Beach, Miami. Chris is a great guy, and has tapped into an interesting niche market. He shows men and women how to “text the romance” back into their lives.…

It was frustrating to watch. One of our ETR Virtual Mastermind members, Becky, was feeling overwhelmed by her options. There were so many things to do but she just didn’t know where to start. Ever had that feeling? Becky is young, smart, and ambitious. She is going to be a big success story – in…

“OMG, Craig. You’ll never be able to do it,” my friend said to me. Oh ye of little faith. The Diet Depletion Plan, that I outlined yesterday, won’t be that hard for me or for you. Here’s why it won’t be that hard for us. First, dropping gluten is not new. I’ve been eating gluten-free…
Read MoreDiet Depletion Challenge – The Ballantyne Diet
I must warn you. This diet is probably too HARD for you. If you typically eat bread and pasta, drink alcohol three times per week, add milk and butter to everything, and drink a gallon of diet soda per day, then what I’m about to share with you will sound extreme and impossible. But that’s…
Read More4 Day Email Launch System
I have to admit that I gave Mikey Whitfield a bit of a hard time at our last Mastermind meeting. We had a healthy debate over a certain element of his email launch system. Did it really boost results? Or was it just wishful thinking. Well, this sent Mikey back to the old drawing board,…

It was one of the nicest things that anyone had ever done for me. Last Friday at the TT Summit, my good friend and Mastermind coaching partner, Bedros Keuilian, presented with my own bobblehead doll. It even had Bally the Dog on there with me in my infamous shirts-off, kettlebell-lifting pose that has been stolen…
Read More3 Diet Tips You Did Not Know
OK, I have 3 diet tips for you today, but first, I am really embarrassed. And I have to apologize to you for my “un-role model-like” behavior. Last night I went out in Denver to a pool party, stayed out late, and cheated on my gluten-free diet with some incredible late-night tacos at Edge restaurant.…
