“Do you want to be a speaker, an author or a consultant?”

--Michael Angelo Caruso, President           
of the Edison House, LLC                           

   
 
   

 

Join me in Las Vegas February 15-16 and I’ll show you exactly how to do it.

 

I’ll show you how to create a six-figure income and the first digit is “2.” 

 

Help people and make money.  Sound like a plan?

 

Hi!  I'm Michael Angelo Caruso, author of the 5 Cool Ideas book series.  I’ve been helping entrepreneurs grow their companies for over ten years.  You may already be familiar with my work.   

You may own one or more of my books or audio programs.  Maybe you’ve seen me in action when I was keynoting a conference or you might have seen a video clip on the Internet.

 

I take my work seriously, but I also like to have fun.  We’ll be doing both on February 15 and 16 at the Marriott Courtyard Las Vegas Convention Center Hotel

 

If you’ve been waiting for an event like this and you already know of me, you might register right away.

 

Maybe you need more information:

 

I regularly pay my mortgage with money from passive income such as product sales and can teach you to do the same.
 

I make money every time I send out bulk e-mail and I’ll show you how.
 

I work at home in a 5,000 square foot mansion in an executive office suite complete with a recording studio.  I’ve shown others how to make this happen and I will show you how to create your dream life.

 

 

My life has not always been like this. 

 

Mom and dad raised four boys on a lower-middle class, single income.  To make ends meet, mom served us powdered milk.  She cut off the tops of paper grocery bags because lunch bags were “too expensive.”  I remember taking baths with my brothers to save water, although not recently.

 

I paid my way through college working at the grocery store that provided us with “lunch” bags.  In my 20s, I toured the country in a rock band with my brothers opening for acts like Rick Springfield, Corey Hart and Joan Jett.   

 

A while back, I quit a good-paying job in the telecommunications business because I was unfulfilled and knew life had more in store for me.

 

Turns out that store is an online store that generates more revenue in one year than many workers earn annually at their full-time job

 

I had a little help getting started with all this, but no one really knew much about Internet commerce back then and none of my mentors at the time were published authors.  I wish someone had shown me the way.  That’s my story.

         

Everyone has a book in them
 

What is your area of expertise?  I’ll bet you have loads of information that is worth money to people.  Let’s figure out a way you can help people and receive fair compensation for your effort.

 

You don’t even have to quit your job.  Unless you want to.

  

It’s easier than you think to write a book, become a recognized speaker and create a triple revenue stream from writing, speaking and consulting.  It all starts with a little training.

 

There are no lectures at my events.  No silly role-playing or corny group activities.  I will not ask you to jump up and down and scream. 

 

You will get tons of practical ideas on how to help people and make money speaking, writing and consulting.  I’ll show you how to sustain a viable business model that will deliver cash to your bank account to pay for college tuition, a second home and even fund your retirement. 

 

A wide range of people will be attending this event so I’ll be coordinating a flex-agenda to accommodate everyone.  Attendees (you) will create our agenda from the following topics and issues:

There will be lots of creative types in attendance so be ready to laugh and think outside the old box.   

All attendees will receive welcome gifts from me upon arrival.  Please notify me of your dietary restrictions as soon as possible.  Dress is business casual.  

 

Past attendees are very pleased:

I can't tell you how much the retreat has changed my way of thinking and doing things (even little things).  I listened to Michael’s CDs after the conference and immediately used his tips at my presentation the next day.                                                                 

                           -Paula Granowicz, Redford, Michigan       

 

Michael facilitates in a way that isn’t stiff or formal.  It was more like a focused conversation between friends, which was a pleasant surprise, since I had never met the other attendees before.        

                                  -Liane Coates, Ontario, Canada

 

 

Everyone has ideas rolling around in their head.  But a dream is just a dream, unless you turn it into a plan.  Michael helped me do just that.  I highly recommend Caruso’s session for turning your dreams into reality.
