My Favorite Super Bowl Commercial… and I don’t even drive a truck!!!

by Mike on February 5, 2013

What was Your Favorite Commercial from the 2013 Super Bowl?

The 2013 Super Bowl is selling ads for upwards of $4,000,000 for a 30 second spot.  My favorite ad was actually two minutes so it probably cost $10,000,000 to air.

I don’t sell cars or truck but rather furniture which I guarantee does not have the kind of margins necessary to pay for a $10 million dollar spot let alone a $1 million dollar spot.  Therefore I’ll enjoy the car spots as long as they can keep paying for them.  Since a truck goes for upwards of $30,000 and my sofa’s retail for $399 – $599 I believe my customers are getting a far better value even if we can’t place ads on the Super Bowl.

Enjoy this ad and let me know by comments what your favorite Super Bowl ad was.

Join Me to Make 2013 Your Best Year Ever

by Mike on December 28, 2012

Consider the implication of this idea…

What would happen if I were to follow you with a camera crew 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the next 100 days while you went for your goals?

I bet 3 things would happen….

1)    You would START doing the things you say you need to do.

2)    You would STOP doing the things you know you shouldn’t be doing.

3)    You would MAKE monumental performance gains and change your life.

How this possible?

Through the power of accountability!

Accountability will serve your character, as well as your credibility, and more importantly, it will get you to accomplish all your goals (whether that is being debt free, 20 pounds less weight or a scratch golfer).

What stops most people from accomplishing their goals is one thing: their lack of accountability.

How can someone that wants accountability get it, without paying thousands and thousands of dollars for a coach?

Good question.  Here is your answer:

Gary Ryan Blair, otherwise known as The Goals Guy has put together what I believe to be the most comprehensive form of accountability, goal setting and performance enhancement, that I have ever seen.

It’s called the 100 Day Challenge and enrollment is taking place right now.

The 100 Day Challenge is an extreme goal achievement and performance improvement workout because it’s all about getting things done, getting massive results quickly, and beginning the year with a BANG!

I’ve seen it, and it’s an amazing piece of work. But you don’t have to take my word for it, check it out for yourself here:

Listen. I’m so impressed with Gary and his 100 Day Challenge, that I’ll be participating in the program myself as I did last year.  I expect to have the best 100 days of my life!

Join me over the next 100 Days, or, at the very minimum, take a look at this literally, it could change your life.

So click on this link right now: http://www.MikeRootRecommends.com

Happy New Year,

Mike Root

 

P.S.  I did this program last year with wonderful results.  I strongly recommend taking a look at this very special program!

What We Can Learn From the Obama Marketing Machine

November 19, 2012

Despite many pundits and polls to the contrary, I felt Romney would win the last election.  I based this talking with people in a variety of areas around the country who felt their states would swing Republican.  The one thing I took for granted was that the Republicans and Democrats would be evenly matched when [...]
