The Fine Print

You must live in the USA or Canada... or have Skype. If you're not satisfied with the lens, you can return it and I will refund your money. (You won't have to return the telephone tutoring!)

The Squid School is not for you...

If you don't have a business (or a clear plan) or if you already have a strong online presence. I probably won't be able to help you.

I want to make it clear that I am not offering any get rich quick plan. They don't exist. Nor am I trying to sell you any eBooks. I haven't written any... yet. (Although I do have affiliate links to some resources. If I think they can help you I will let you know.)

To find out more please contact me. Please include details about your business.

Custom Made Lenses

I won't be able to help everyone. If you need a lens made you can consult any of these lenses.

Their prices range from $25 to $250 per lens.

Last Year's Offer

Last spring I made a similar offer and was somewhat overwhelmed by the response. If I didn't get back to you I apologize. Please give me another chance!

I also learned a lot. One thing I learned is that the first 30 minutes of the call is the most productive. So think about what you want to ask before you sign up for updates.

I also got a lot of ideas for The Squid-School. I can't do them all!

So please vote for your favorite ideas in the Plexo module below. You can also add your own.
