James Brausch should come with a warning label.

November 14th, 2007 · 3 Comments

I’m a former magical email address customer of James Brausch.  I liked it, but thought he didn’t like me.  I didn’t really take it personally - and his post The Magical Email Address program is back! explains that it wasn’t personal.   

Would I do it again?  Yes.  He’s tough.  I’m guessing his coaching style came from his experiences recovering from substance abuse.  But it’s worth it.

 So here’s the warning label I’d give James:

  • Expect tough love, without the love.  Don’t try justifying yourself to him.  There’s a quote on my wall “The truth is, there are only two things in life, reasons and results, and reasons simply don’t count.” - Dr. Robert Anthony.  James hates reasons.  If you expect him to be reasonable, you’re in the wrong place.  Do what he says and get the results.
  • He’s got a specific program he recommends.  It’s based on the Freedom Business System - a system for quickly creating your own product.  Forget membership sites, anything he doesn’t specifically recommend.  Expect to follow his system and get his results.  If you talk about anything else, he may call you a forum junkie or worse.
  • Only email a maximum of once per day.  If you email more than once, he’ll answer only one each (of his) business days.
  • Stick to the point.  Don’t expect a discussion, expect direction.  The man only works a few hours a day, a few days a week.  He doesn’t have more than a few minutes to devote to your email. 
  • Don’t take anything personally, unless it will motivate you.

The funny thing is, I’m still doing what he teaches in his Freedom Business System.  It’s going well, in part because of the attitude he gave during my one month with him.  I’m running into obstacles, but obstacles aren’t allowed - only results are.  So I’m finding myself getting the results I need.  Nice.

 If you’re familiar at all with James’ methods, you’d be a fool not to jump on this at this price.

    Hello Burton,

    My check is on its way to James now. Thanks for your post and for sharing your experiences.

    Your recollection is about what I’m expecting (and I’ll be disappointed if I get anything else). Basically, I’m paying him to make my old Army Drill Sergeants look like anemic wimps. I think he made it clear that “tough” is what he is selling.

    I say bring it on. It’s easy enough for me to separate issues from people.

    Keep on doing good things,
    Tom

    Burton,

    I was reading James’ blog and clicked on the link to your post. I must admit you have written one of the best lines I’ve seen in a long time: “Expect tough love; without the love.” That one made me laugh too.

    Having recently spent a week in Costa Rica though I don’t recall James being tough on me. He’s really quite nice.
