One word: owned.

At least you know that people are interested in your boot camp!

Ok…that sucks, BUT it’s also very awesome at the same time.

This is a clear example of the difference between good problems and bad problems.

Bad Problem:
Promoting a product and then getting nobody to show up.

Good Problem:
Being so kick ass at marketing and promoting a new product that your frickin’ server crashes because so many people showed up. Not only that, this will generate more excitement because now all these other people who were thinking about doing it are like, ‘damn, I need to get in on that.’

Now that’s a good problem to have. Well done!

P.S. This is not to overshadow the fact that yes, it frickin’ sucks that all those people were left out, but your immediate response and action taken speaks volumes about your character.

Ramit,

kudos for taking complete responsibility for the problem.
Unforseen problems get us all but I think your attitude helps you resolve it quickly and postitively and it won’t knock you off track. It seems a model example of how to deal with your own mistakes/problems/whatever obstacles.

I’m not taking your course as I’ve decided to focus on my priorities for me, the things that attracted me to it are probably not the first things I need to work on – I really hope I can grow a business as impressively as yours. I’m taking my own action and will ensure I completely kick my own ass if I’m in the same situation at Christmas. Best of luck with the course and saving people tonnes of money.

Hey Ramit -

Thanks for the post and the email. Is there anyway you can record the webcast the next time you’re doing it so people who can’t make it can participate? I know 7 pm might not seem late to you but to us East Coast folks, it’s already 10 pm.

Thanks…

Patricia

Well just goes to show you how much traffic you are generating….and that’s a good thing.

I won’t be able to do the boot camp – but I just got your book and I am working this weekend on implementing automated system for my finances.

You mentioned new content in the video and the problem with people wanting “what’s new” when the basics that they really need to be doing have long since been covered. At the same time, I have noticed a change in the feel of I Will Teach You to be Rich after your book and more paid products have come out. There do seem to be less postings dealing with the basic strategies.

The posts are there, but when things are in a blog format, people don’t necessarily want to start reading through year old archives without any guidance. I probably wouldn’t hurt to cover some of the basics again either with new posts that rehash the old content for new viewers or with new posts that somehow work in more targeted links to relevant old posts (things like money diaries or responses to questions you have received).

Based on your advice about using what we have and not looking for the next best thing, we should not be joining the boot camp and just implement what we already have learned so far right?

Chris

I tried to watch last night. Looking forward to the next webcast.

I am not sure if this is a good or bad problem. “My website is so popular that my server crashed.”

I cleared my schedule for this event, and even though I didn’t get in (sob*) I still gonna clear it again for next web cast.

We learn more from mistakes than successes.

show us the site stats..

I was one of the lucky few who managed to stay on and watch the webcast. My favorite part was when you kept saying you were going to disconnect and start over, but the feed never stopped
Otherwise, the partial webcast I saw was great. If you actually had that many people on the webcast, in that format, it would have been nearly impossible to run the Q&A part – the chat screen was already a constant scrolling beast – but you managed it well.
Looking forward to hearing success stories from the bootcamp!

Was the “screw it…we’ll do it live” an edited rendition of Bill O’Reilly”s “F#&% it…we’ll do it live” rampage seen on youtube? If so, very clever.

More bandwidth to accommodate hoards is a nice problem to have. Your customers will forgive you, those who are not will be even more anxious to find what they are missing.
