Hi Nicola,
Just wanted to thank you and Judith and Steve for organising a really great week end.Very inspiring.
Especially happy to see/hear you Nicola up there on that ” stage”,brilliant, smiling and energetic…like the man said ” You’re my favourite”.
Thanks again to all of you.
Danielle
PS could do with a few more of us women up there.
There have been so many great Money Gym gigs but looks like this was one we will still be thinking fondly of when we are eighty year olds botoxed up to the eyebrows and swinging on our Caribbean hammocks, making money while we sleep.
What did we love about this one? We know the speakers were great, the delegates were up-for-it and the venue rocked.
The skill though was in the speakers’ – Brett, Nicola and Tim (Brocklehurst) – ability to make us realise we can do it too. No trying to blind us with science or impress us with their expertise. Just inspiring presentations designed to show us the simple steps any of us could follow if we wanted an internet business of our own.
Thanks to all.

Just before the seminar I had just come back from a holiday in Rome. Rome was fantastic and I thought that going to a weekend course would be an anti climax – not in the least! In fact I’d say both events were brilliant. Brett is definitely the best presenter/trainer I’ve come across (apart from you Nicola !) He is mesmerizing. The content of his presentation was powerful but it is him that is outstanding. Everything he said was interesting, useful, clever – I could go on and on. He is definitely someone you would want on your team – no wonder you have him as a JV partner. I was so impressed I signed up for his course. I’m looking forward to learning a lot from him.

Hello Nicola
I just got up to go to work again tonight. Slept most of the day after such a mind-blowing weekend. I signed up at the last minute for this weekend as you know, and had some doubt over how sensible it was to do so for the reasons below.
I hadn’t heard of Brett before. We buried our Mum last Friday a few weeks after she was told she was in last stages of acute myeloid leukemia. I was suffering bad from having a wisdom tooth out on Wednesday, (he virtually had to climb in there with a jack-hammer). I had to work all through Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights as I’m senior manager on a tube station re-fit and this was our last station closure weekend to get things progressed this year.
I think as far as excuses for not taking action are concerned, I must have been able to make the top 5.
My mates thought I was stupid to still even think about committing to “listening to some jerk trying to flog me some crap” right now.
But then they don’t know you and Judith, do they? They couldn’t know that if you said it would be good, it’d be great. They hadn’t made the same promise to their mum on her death bed two weeks ago that I did, when I promised I’d stop living my life in other peoples eyes, and instead begin to imagine everyone who looked at me could only see me through hers, with the belief she’d always had in me that one day I’d be successful enough to be able to help so many others – but without it destroying me, as her life of service did her.
So I booked, I had to really didn’t I?
It’s all about timing – it’s all about time. I thought she had twenty more years in her too. We all have a “use by” date invisibly stamped on our butts, but we can’t see it.
The past was seldom how we remember it to have been, the future will never be as long or difficult as we imagine, all we have is now, so we have to take it.
I’ve been to a lot of seminars, as have most of us, but this was like no other. Most are just a rally call to believe in, then buy the product.
For just a £25 donation to charity, this whole weekend was actual TRAINING, and for another £15 you could get Brett’s book and have all the notes in there exactly as he taught. That was unbelievable.
Now I seldom ever sign on the day, but when he said the offer was for 25 sign-ups only, I was ready to fight for a form – I only made number 12, and I’m a karate black belt and I was fighting hard!
You were spectacular too, really professional but in the same easy and approachable manner as Brett, and Tim Brocklehurst could have sold me real estate on the moon – I think I fancied him too which is a bit iffy……… s’pose it was just that exciting a weekend!
I had to leave at 3pm on Sunday as I had to get some sleep as the Sunday is the hardest night of a weekend shutdown for me, but twice I nearly turned around and came back. I SOOOOOOOOOOO wish I had. I won’t be making that mistake again!
6 Hours sleep between midday Friday and 9am Monday, and I don’t care, I’d do it all again in a heartbeat.
I met some great people in the throng too. Uplifted isn’t the word, but then i suppose that’s what you get for “taking action” despite the doubts and all the sensible reasons not to act isn’t it?
Sometimes, thank you just seems so little, but thank you anyway.
I’ve begun. I can feel our Mum smiling now.
Sorry this has rambled on a bit, but the weekend was a catharsis for me.
You think you’re just running seminars don’t you? You’re not you know, you’re actually touching lives at a very deep level.
Graham.
Nicola,
Just a quick note to say what a fantastic weekend. I can’t believe there was so much information being given away for a donation to charity. Well done to you. Brett and Tim for your generosity.
Brett was great, a simple step by step system to set up your own internet business that anyone could do. I have already learned loads of stuff from working with yourself but loved the way it was all summarised and put into an easy to follow process here.
Nicola, you offerred so much information about membership sites that really made me think I need to get my butt into gear and get on with creating those products…now!
Thanks once again for a great weekend of learning.
Karen
I totally agree. It was a brilliant weekend – probably the best training weekend I have ever been on. I didn’t only get the feel-good factor, but great actions to take away and do. It’s great to know that Brett’s system is available either to follow from A to Z or to plug gaps where my knowledge or skills let me down.
Nicola and Judith – to let you know I met someone in one of the breaks who said on the basis of this weekend and a previous MG day he was cancelling his membership of another (expensive) forum, with a view to re-investing the cash with Money Gym membership.
Cheers
Guy
Greetings Money Gym Team,
Just a note to say that if you hear about the 1st incident of spontanteous human combustion in the regions of Norfolk it will be me. My brain is not able
to cope with the activity generated from this weekend with Brett and the Monday Gym Team.
I do not want to be sat at my desk in the office right now! I have been searching for my “niches” when I really have so much other work to do!
Today, my life is permanently improved from just 18 hours of my time. I just worked it out and that is 0.007% of my life! A gift that I am thankful for and a gift I will find a way to pay it forward.
Thank you all.
Daniel
Hello everyone
I would never of believed it if I didn’t see it. Brett McFall is a master at conversation and teaching and knows how to give enough information that is not too technical or too deep so that people feel overloaded.
The information he gave will get people up and running and on the way to having a growing business. I have been at seminars and watched certain speakers give one long sales speech without giving anything for free, which would benefit the listener, but every time I have listened to Brett he always delivers and gives freely.
If only schools could employ someone like Brett to teach the students about the Internet and what possibilities are out there, instead of waiting for 4pm to chime so they can go home.
I look forward to seeing Brett again and will pay gladly what ever the price is to see him again.
Keep up the great seminars and await with great enthusiasm for your next email detailing a great speaker.
Ian
Hi All
This has to be about the best Internet and money making seminar I have been to.
I have seen quite a few ‘guru’s speak – or have at least purchased some of their courses – and some of them are a little ‘iffy’ to say the least.
This often means that whilst I understand the concept of what they are saying, they often give very little value in relation to what they charge for the information they give – making me pretty sceptical about some of them.
I was asked to go along with a friend who is a member of the money gym and of course, for just £25 (going to charity) I thought why not, I’m bound to pick up something useful – that is an understatement!
Indeed, we spoke to a few people who said they got more out of the weekend than they had from previous events for which they had paid thousands of pounds!
We travelled up together from Hove each day (getting up at 5.30am which is just not me)! But the content of the seminar was so good there was never a moment where I thought I might get away with ‘closing my eyes’ 🙂
The structure was brilliant as each speaker was totally relevant to the other making it flow really well. Everyone gave away so much free information – which just shows what the paid courses will be like!
I have seen Brett on the internet but he is an amazing speaker in person. He has a fantastic energy and truly makes you feel that you can do this.
As someone who is typically British and doesn’t like too much hype this was a breath of fresh air and you all managed to make me trust and like you – so thanks very much.
I’ll definitely be recommending you to others and coming along to further events.
Denise
I came to this event because Tim Brocklehurst invited me, and I wanted to hear about his new programme.
I wasn’t expecting to learn much from Brett to be honest – I’ve been around internet marketing for several years, done lots of courses (spent a lot of money!), and just launched my first internet business.
But….
I went with the intention to learn at least one new thing to help me with promoting Spiritus -and ended up with no fewer than 11 specific action steps.
None of them were exactly new to me – but the way Brett presented the material, step by step, made me realise that I had not been as methodical in planning my own promotion, and had missed out these 11 actions.
So for these -thank you Brett.
And it was a real pleasure to meet the Money Gym community for the first, likely to be the first of many, times.

Well, apart from such a brilliant weekend, Graham’s post above almost had me in tears. For me I think he has said it all. Thank you to everyone involved; we (I was with my husband, Simon) had such an awesome time and we know this is just the start!
Hello everyone
I’ve been on quite a few training weekends/courses on a variety of topics – some of them costing several thousand pounds for a long weekend, and this was definitely the most enlightening as well as enjoyable weekend’s training I’ve experienced for over twenty years.
Thank you to Nicola for getting such an amazing JV Partner and organising such a brilliant seminar. Thank you also to Judith and the MoneyGym team, who obviously worked so hard to make it a great experience for us all.
I felt the order of speakers was just right too – beginning with the simply stunning step-by-step guide to getting started, given by Brett – continuing with the slightly more advanced membership site material, which was presented fantastically well by Nicola, and then Tim’s Viral Marketing which I enjoyed but have to admit it went a bit over my head (although the friend I came with GOT it!).
There were so many lightbulb moments, but my favourite bit was the actual experience of “interviewing an expert”. I’d previously thought I wouldn’t have the skill or confidence to do this, but Brett’s method is so simple and effective – I really enjoyed the exercise and I now know I can do it if I choose.
Apart from dozens of other amazing tips, what I also really ‘GOT’ was to keep it simple.
The venue was perfect, and the MoneyGym team and participants were really great. All in all, 5 gold stars ***** (six if I may 🙂
I’m already looking forward to another weekend before long.
Sonja
Hi
I just want say a big thank you for the weekend. For £25 you guys went above and beyond. I have been to similar courses were the depth of information that was offered attracted a fee of £10,000.00!
Brett really really practices what he preaches. HE GAVE AND GAVE AND GAVE!!!
It was such a joy to meet you Nicola. Thanks for the advice on organising a beauty parade when I decide who I want to use as an accountant.
I was able to start a blog(checkoutmyhandbag.wordpress.com) through WordPress on Saturday. I have already posted 8 entries and it’ll continue to grow. I also learnt at the seminar how to upload a YouTube video to my blog. Matter of fact I learnt ‘how to’ discover anything on YouTube.
Started reading Brett’s book yesterday and the intro shows that anybody, absolutely anybody can make it. If you’ll study and prepare, Your time will come. If you commit to Never Give Up, then your Time will surely come!
Thanks and God Bless
Maurice
He was FABULOUS- energetic, straight-line, funny, comes from a position of lurve of life,people and the universe and a skilled trainer who knows how to train and teach rather than preach and teach ( Which is what I think we are on the receiving end of so often from the other side of the waters).
Nicola , you gave the best presentation I have ever seen you give and wowed us with both your considerable PR coverage and fired us up with your new work on Membership sites- Can’t wait to get started with that one!
The money gym team were ever efficient in making this event run like a well oiled machine.
This morning I have rebranded my ebook (coming out next week) and written my series of sales letters that will go out with it- for my http://www.careerandalife.com website. The weekend has given me such clarity and made me so focused on what needs to be done to take my businesses to the next level. Talk about creating credit crunch proof business in one weekend.
I bought Brett’s book too- So easy to read and work through. Acts as a great refresher for the weekend.
The best bit is- over £3k raised for Great Ormond Street- How great is that?
Exceptional value from Brett as always……
In this cynical world everyone disregards “value statements” in internet marketing – few probably realised that Brett really HAS had sell out audiences for this material at £500+ and those people all agreed THEY had great value for money..
So selling this at £25 was ridiculous!! – in fact – I spread the word about this, and the biggest reaction I got was ..no chance!! If it is only £25 it CANNOT be any good. So I reckon there would have been many more come if the donation to great ormond had been £150…
Internet marketers need to differentiate themselves to succeed and brett gives a process for how to do just that and createunique productsin the process !
Newcomers to internet marketing are so vulnerable to sales letter hype – that they will find it hard or impossible to sort good from the bad.
Those that came to this as their first event will not realise just how lucky they have been – to find the best for £25
Hi Nicola,
A belated comment about the weekend with Brett McFall and an update!
After much thought and several emails from you I signed up for weekend course. I often feel a bit overwhelmed with all the advice I receive/read about on internet marketing and was trying to cut down on the bombardment from various sources to make a decision to just follow one line of advice/system, so nearly decided against it.
The fact the course was only £25 was the decider-surely I would learn something I could put into action that would be worth that at least. I loved the weekend and found what Brett taught us cut through all the information I have been bombarded with and gave clear steps on how to move forward. I got stuck in with the steps as soon as I got back but it took a little while for me to work at my plans consitently.
I already had a product so after a less than successful attempt at writing my own sales letter I asked someone to rewrite it for me. Subsequently I have now sold my first 3 e-books to a list of less than 100 people. It’s not enough to give up the day job yet but it was all very exciting!
I was lucky enough to be invited up onto the stage for Brett and the audience to suggest ways to improve my sales. I found it quite daunting but it made me realise what I needed to do and what I need to find out to sell my ebook.
I am nowhere near done with setting up all the things we were taught to do to get traffic to the site or to follow up those who don’t buy. But I have been keen to ‘take action’ and do the old ‘ready, fire, aim’ even if things aren’t quite where they should be yet.
I would have loved to sign up for one of the courses Brett was offering but financially it wasn’t possible at the time. What was fantastic was the information he gave out made it entirely possible for me to do everything on my own and wasn’t just vague outlines that you had to buy the course to really put into action. Yes it will take longer but I will carry on and get there in the end!
Finally I thought that your presentation on membership sites was great and again full of really great pointers to get going on this ourselves. I was very fired up and ready to go but I have kept all my notes to come back to as I am determined to finish each thing I start rather than getting involved in all and completing none of the projects!
Many thanks,
Suzie
