Hey guys! Sorry… this sale is over. :( You can still get in on the regular price SpeakEasy if you pop over to this page over here.

Hi, there.

It’s me, Naomi. Thanks for stopping by, and welcome to the page that represents pretty much everything I’ve been doing with my spare time since we decided to move.

It’s kind of funny, seeing all that time and thought and occasional hysteria being reduced to this one page. And as I type it, it’s blank. There’s no crazy logo and no sexy buttons at the top… just me and a blank Word document. The whole house is quiet and I’m trying to put this whole all consuming project-mission thing into words.

So we’re not going with a sales page. I mean, it’s a sales page in that at the end, you can buy something. And there will be a big, fancy sales letter when this goes live to everybody. But right now it’s just you and me, and I’ll just write a letter because that’s a lot nicer.

If you’re reading this, you’ve been around for a while. I might not know your name yet, but I probably do. There’s a good chance we’ve exchanged at least a few emails, or maybe we’ve commented on each other’s blogs.

Because you’ve done this, because you’ve stuck around, I’ve been able to change the way I help people. I’ve been able to change the way I do business. I’ve been able to pack up my family and move to England and give my mom a job and basically live my dream.

And I’m really, really grateful for that.

Because of you, I’ve been able to set up this membership program. It exists to give affordable help to ittybiz owners who do not have the resources to launch a big, sexy marketing campaign. It exists to level the playing field so that the people who succeed aren’t just the ones with money.

There’s a new page on our site which has been getting quite a lot of traffic. It’s called the IttyBiz 1000, and it’s about the new IttyBiz mission. If you haven’t seen the page yet, here’s the important part:

Here at IttyBiz, we get a lot of mail. Like, a lot. And almost all of the email we get is awesome. We like it when people write with nice things, we like it when people alert us to embarrassingly vulgar typos, we like it when people send us links to cool stuff.

Then, one day, we got the best email of all. We got an email from a very nice woman who told us that her own ittybiz was going so well, she quit her job.

First we cried. Then we printed this email out and nailed it to the wall.

Over the next several months, as more and more emails like this one came in, we added more printouts to the quitter stack. It became a really impressive stack, and getting those emails was the best part of our job.

Then we had a crazy thought. What if we made getting these emails the only part of our job. What if we turned our secret mission — getting people out of the crazy ass rat race of doom and death — into our not-so-secret mission. What if we, you know, tried?

The IttyBiz 1000 was born.

The IttyBiz 1000 is a project in utero. It’s changing every day as we refine and add and change. But the core is the same:

We want to help 1000 people quit their jobs this year.

I want to give you every resource I have.

I want to teach you everything I know.

I want to help you break your chain.

We want you on our wall.

This membership program is the start of that. We’ve created an affordable, accessible way for you to have access to IttyBiz resources on your own time, on your own schedule.

Here’s what you get:

Weekly call-ins

Every week, we’re going to give you a lesson on a relevant, timely, critical business topic. It’s an hour, and it’s recorded so you can listen to it on your own time, or pick and choose the lessons you want to hear.

Weekly Q & A

Instead of simply integrating questions into the call time, we’ve set up a separate time right after the lesson where you can ask any question you like. We can talk about the lesson, we can talk about your tagline, we can talk about advertising strategies… whatever you want.

Monthly bonus calls

We understand that day jobs and kids and time zones might mean you can’t ask the question you want to ask in real time. That’s why we’ve set up a monthly Saturday call so you can be on the phone with me, even if your job doesn’t like you doing it during the workday.

Getting Shit Done

Every day, we’re going to send you a nice, simple thing you can do THAT VERY DAY to move your business forward. Not hard, not scary, but incredibly powerful. (We don’t call them “getting shit done”, though, in case you get your emails at work.)

Happy Hours

Twice a week, we’re opening up special members only private chat sessions, where you can ask questions without being on the phone. Got questions that can’t wait till next week’s call? Here’s the time to ask them.

Private email support

If you have ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL, you get full access to email me about anything, any time. You get the same email address my mom has. Please don’t tell my mom.

A structured community setting

Instead of setting up a forum — gets a little crazy sometimes, don’t you think? — we’re creating a private blog. You can meet and hang out with your fellow members, without worrying about spending precious time chatting about the weather in Melbourne. Community, yes. But structured community.

You get discounts.

Sure, you’re going to get 25% off everything IttyBiz sells. But we’re in negotiations with a lot of other cool businesses to get you great prices on their stuff, too. Membership has it’s perks.

What? No FAQ?

There’s no FAQ in this letter because you’re one of the first people to have seen it. So if you have questions, I’d love to answer them. My email address is naomi@ittybiz.com, but you probably already know that.

The Most Important Thing To Know

I know a lot of people are nervous about membership programs, and who can blame them? Having seen some of the shady people running programs like that, it’s no wonder people are concerned.

I want to tell you, there is no risk for you with this.

This is not a contract.

You don’t have to worry that I’m going to bill you forever and ever if this isn’t something you want.

First, that would be yucky. Second, you have far too many opportunities to trash me in public — becoming a scammy pants all of a sudden is probably not a smart move on my part.

If you would like to try it, try it. No commitment and no hassle and no yuck. Just you and me, giving it a shot together.
