This book will take you step by step, into exactly what it will take for you to transition

A former client of mine, who is now my business partner, Callan Rush, has become
known for her definition of Enlightened Wealth. !
I quite like it, and I agree with it.!
!
! 3!
Many people think Scaling means taking what you have created, as if its a literal funnel,
and then just getting MORE customers by putting more and more people into the top.!
!
The reality is, almost everything has to change. And that may not be what youre
interested in. And thats okay.!
This might sound a bit dramatic but please stick with me, I assure you, I know what Im
talking about.!
When I started out in business, I had absolutely NO CLUE what I was doing !
I was trying to make a living as a Professional Mixed Marital Arts Fighter at the time. I
was training 9 times per week and I was practically living at the gym!!
The problem was that I never got paid more than $2K for a fight. So, likely its not hard
to believe I was going broke. I couldnt fight that often!! My brainiac idea was to start a
business so I could make ends meet while keeping my insane training regime going.!
Well, I failed miserably. I was flying by the seat of my pants, attempting to continue my
fighting lifestyle while starting a business from scratch, and managing close to 20 staff
within the first few months. Yikes!!
The Business only lasted a year or so before going under!
Then, I had to get a job. Which, of course, was horrible. Except for the fact that I
actually got quite lucky!!
I got a job working for a gentleman named T. Harv Eker. And, one of the reasons I say I
got lucky is because Harvs company paid for me to have a life-coach, it was a
gentleman named Ron Skene.!
! 5!
In one of our very first sessions, Ron told me something that completely changed my life
forever.!
He said
From structure
comes Freedom!
This seemed like the most ridiculous and counter-intuitive claim, at the time. But, pieceby-piece, I started implementing this concept into every area of my life.!
Ive used this premise to help Callan Rush build the company of her dreams. Shes
doing exceptional in terms of Enlightened Wealth.
!
!
!!!!!!!!!!!Enlightened
Income: The company is doing over $5 million per year now, so shes making
several times more than she did as a school teacher, to say the least.!
Impact: Callan works with clients all over the world, doing live seminars and
workshops for more than 1,000 participants per year.!
Inspiration: Callan does only what she loves, and what shes good at! Shes
become recognized as a pseudo-celebrity and now, shes a mother and doesnt have
to work at all!!
!
! 6!
Right from the beginning, all Ive ever done with CalIan is sit her down and walk her
through how to create the structures for her ideal company.!
This techniques working out great for me as well!
Income: I had never made personal income above 80k before starting this
business, and now, lets just say I make a LOT more than that!!
Impact: I consult for almost ALL of the Transformational Leaders in the business
of Coaching Coaches and Practitioners etc., Just in this past year, Ive been
involved in online launches totalling well over $10 Million in sales.!And, over the
past 2 years, there has not been a significant online launch in our space without my
direct involvement and support.!
!
Its FUN for me to support them, but it also feels amazing to know Im indirectly
impacting hundreds of thousands of people as my clients grow their businesses and
support more and more people.!
Anyway, Thats enough about me, lets get back to you. !
!
! 7!
The original dream contains visions of a life of giving their true gifts, working for
themselves, and having control over their day-to-day and long-term destiny.!
This was true for me and true for Callan, too. !
!
And there are some very specific REASONS for that. Im going to cover 3 of them.!
Many get part way there, which is admirable, for sure. But when they get really honest,
they know theyve missed the exact mark they originally intended to hit. !
Before they work with me, many of my private clients hit revenues of 6 or multi 6 figures
with their Transformation Business. And, thats when they seek me out. !
! 8!
They realize 6 figures in revenue isnt as much money as theyd hoped it would be but
theyre unsure of how to earn more without sacrificing, in terms of lifestyle, family, and
overall balance.!
When they come to me, my clients also feel theyre not making the impact they desire in
terms of the total number people theyre serving. They want to make more of a
difference but again, are unsure how to make that happen without giving more up.!
For those that had made previous attempts to seriously grow their business, things are
usually much more disappointing. These entrepreneurs find themselves more shackled
by their business venture than when they had their old 9-5 job. They end up working an
exhausting number of hours a week, to avoid working 40. And the irony and frustration
of this is not lost on them.
!
Some give up significant desires in terms of the quantity and quality of family time.
Others have their health either hovering at average or below average.!
For many, their Romantic relationships hollow out, and the time freedom theyd hoped
theyd have to cultivate closeness with their spouse disappears as the priorities of the
business take over. !
They have a successful business, but it just isnt as dreamy as they thought.!
In my experience, most of the hard working entrepreneurs that come to me get so lost in
the day to day running of their business that they lose touch with, or totally FORGET,
their original inspired business vision. !
Most, having given it their best shot, go as far as dismissing their original vision as
impossible or improbable.!
They trudge along, getting some fulfillment from their fairly successful business, secretly
or overtly wondering why things dont feel quite right. They want more, but feel confused
as to how to create it.
Can you relate with any of this??
!
! 9!

SCENARIO #1: DIRECT BURNOUT & DISILLUSIONMENT
Theyve worked their butt off, gave it their best shot, but in the
process experienced some combination of Burn-out and Fatigue.
They may be travelling way more than they desire, or spending too
much time away from their family. !
In their effort to grow, they may have created products and programs that required too
much bandwidth to deliver or that required so much team to manage they are left more
drained, and less profitable. !
Some may actually manage to break-through to 7 figures, only to realize they are
working MORE hours and taking home LESS money, ugh!! !
And so, they begin to slide backward, where it was much more comfortable.
!
That aversion or avoidance prevents them from pushing forward. Instead, they
consciously or unconsciously decide to stay comfortable with their already successful
business!but again, secretly feel unfulfilled in terms of their Ideal quest for massive
Impact, Income and Inspiration.
!
Its just like in fighting, my jiu-jitsu instructor is always getting us to slow down instead of
struggling and using strength. !
!
If we simply first put our body into the correct position, any given technique becomes
more effortless. !
! 11!
Are you getting your needs fully met? Is your business getting his/her needs met?!
Simply answer YES or NO to the following 5 questions!
1. Do you have a team of coaches or consultants to provide the value offered in your
programs?
!
2. Do you have a team to quickly implement any/all new marketing and product
ideas, like writing a book, or whatever?
!
3. If you took a 3 month vacation, off the grid, would your business continue to
generate a profit?
!
4. Does your Role in your company include ONLY things you LOVE doing?
5. Would you be totally fine to go 3 months without earning any money from your
company?
Is divorce or break up looming on the horizon? !
Heres a great little process to identify how healthy this relationship is or isnt.
!
This means, you have a Co-Dependant relationship with your business and thats NOT
a recipe for a Successful Marriage, is it?
! 14!
When I say the Accelerator is to treat your business like a Marriage, I specifically mean
treat it and honor it as you would ANY relationship that is critically important to you.!
This means moving out of Co-Dependence, and into an Autonomous Alliance with your
business.!
Co-Dependence is when your Business cannot exist without you.
Youre doing all of the key drivers, and in turn, your business keeps
you from doing only the things you want to do!!
This is VERY common and likely necessary in starting a business
and growing well into the 6 figures, but theres a maturation process
that need to occur if you intend to make the LEAP well into the
millions! !
Autonomous Alliance, on the other hand, is when your Business
doesnt put any demands on you. It is whole and complete!!
If you choose to play a part, great! But it is not demanding you to do anything or BE
anyone for it. !
In return, you get to do the things you actually LOVE doing, when you love doing them.
This was the dream in the first place, right?!!
Ideally, we can set your business to do much more than support your ideal lifestyle.
When your business can support your lifestyle PLUS support your insurance policy, this
is true freedom, as you can easily withstand any fluctuations in your business.
So, with this first Accelerator, you simply need to decide if you want to continue in the
Co-Dependant relational pattern and the result it yields, or are you willing and eager
to transition into an Autonomous Alliance with your business, and experience the
Growth and Freedom that brings?
!
Instead, we want to replace them in favour of new and improved business architectures
designed to yield ideal results.!
As I said earlier, your Multi-Million dollar version of your company cannot and WILL
NOT look like your current business. At the foundational level, your systems,
structures, approach and even mindset must shift dramatically.
!
During our chat, I made a recommendation for him to shorten up his launch sequence.!
He does a couple of launches a year, and they tend to go on for quite a long time, close
to a month each, and so he does these two launches a year, and that's pretty well his
revenue model. !
So I recommended to him, I said, "Listen, if you take that launch sequence and shorten
it up significantly like in half, it might be counterintuitive, but you're going to end up
converting a lot more sales. You put a lot more urgency, you make it easier for you
promotional partners to stay focussed and your launches can be a lot more effective. !
Now that's a very difficult proposition for him because that's extremely risky. !
He's going to have to take something thats working, and completely modify it. I'm
asking of him to let go of the very thing that's working in his business. !
When I mean it's working, it's the very thing that's created exactly what he has, so
understandably, that's a risky proposition. Basically, I'm asking him to be willing to scrap
everything and start from scratch.
This will allow him to be completely free, creatively speaking, and have the mental and
emotional capacity to actually design his ideal Launch Sequence. !
If he wants to create everything that he thinks is possible in a launch sequence, he
needs to be willing to completely scrap everything that he's created to this point, and
that will allow him the freedom to create what he wants. !
Of course, once he has that freedom and actually designs the ideal launch sequence, it
may turn out that he doesn't have to scrap all that much. Maybe it's just some subtle
shifts, or maybe not. !
Maybe it is a completely new thing, but it's that willingness that makes the difference
that will allow him to create it
! 17!
I've found that when you're attached to the things that you've
already created or to the things that are already working, that
attachment is actually a compromise and its costing you
what you actually want.
!
One of my coaches is a guy named Bryan Franklin. One thing he told me once was that
my role, as the CEO of my company, is to take what weve built and make it
Extraordinary.!
Right now, all I need for you to do is get excited by the concept of sacrificing what is
Good for what is Extraordinary, and Ill show you HOW
soon.
!
Envisioning and enacting a multi-million dollar organization means that base structures,
systems, roles, and functions must be realigned. The load that a multi-million dollar
company must bear will be much greater than a mult-6 figure business, and the overall
design therefore, must be different. !
The business owner that tries to keep the same organizational systems and structures
and just increase impact and income will always buckle under the pressure. And this is
where youll see burnout, and other problems, and its just NOT necessary. !
Likely, youve heard of how Coal turns into Diamonds!
well, actually, its a misunderstanding, Coal does NOT turn into Diamonds, Pure Carbon
does!
But, heres whats interesting. Pure Carbon exists in different forms, the most common
of which are Graphite and Diamonds.!
Both are 100% Carbon!!
Graphite is dark, soft and flakey whereas Diamonds are clear and the hardest
substance on Earth yet both are made of the exact same, single ingredient.
How is that possible?!
Well, what happens is, with severe pressure and temperature, the Stress on the Carbon
molecules forces them to make a Structural Change. The Stress on the system
becomes so great, the carbon molecules can either implode, basically, or re-arrange
their Structure to be able to easily handle the pressure, its quite fascinating.!
Of course, in nature, the diamond is produced due to a Response to Stress.!
We humans can be a little more intelligent and initiate Structural Change Proactively.!
We can reorganize ourselves and our business structures in advance of the Stress we
know is coming.!
I know you got to where you are because you're SMART, you can figure stuff out.!
Because of this, when I say things like you need structures to support your growth you
might think you know exactly what I mean by that.
!
!
!
But, ironically, a really important step for anyone to really grow their
business is to acknowledge that you DON'T know what structures you
need or what they look like.
!
! 19!
!
!
!
This can put anyone in an awkward position when trying evaluate the optimal course of
action.!
!
One HUGE step you can take right now is to simply smile and acknowledge that part of
you that thinks you know, but you really DON'T know!
!
Because none of us can be sure of ANYTHING unless we've already done it!!
!
Only then can you evaluate what is essential, and what is Hype.!
!
Now all this can feel a little overwhelming and complicated at first glance. !
But, there are only 5 non-negotiable structures you need to create in your
Transformation Business in order to Make the Leap.
There are only 5! !
The first of these 5 structures is to create an organizational chart that takes the pressure
OFF of YOU, the business owner. Im always shocked at how many 6 Figure Business
owners have yet to create this foundational document. It is one of the first things I focus
on when working with my clients. !
This is exactly what well talk about in an upcoming training video Ill provide you with
an Organizational Structure Template for you to use in your Transformation Business...!
Then, Ill walk you through how to execute on it.!
Sound good?
OK, watch for that next training from me. Its coming really soon, and Ill send you an
email (assuming youre on my email list) once its ready to go.
If youre NOT on my email list, send me an email at Justin@leadertoluminary.com right
away so I can make sure you get the document, as well as access to the video training!!
! 20!

where you downloaded this document Ill be checking them often and I will respond.!
Specifically, Id love to hear which of these 3 Powerful Paradigms you feel will be the

forward.!
