Membership Information

Listed here is some information about our membership site. I decided not to use one of those ridiculous scrolling sales pages that go on and on forever, instead I thought you might appreciate the reasons behind some of our decisions regarding setting up our membership site.

I gave some considerable thought on how we would set up this membership site, some of the decisions we came to run contrary to what is usually done on the Internet. You will be the ultimate judge as to whether I was right in making some of these decisions.

- Why a Lifelong Membership?

- Our Guarantees

- I Have Been Around for a While

- Why is Our Lifelong Membership so Cheap?

- It's Time You Got a Deal

Why a One-time Membership Fee?

I like things that are simple, easy, and effective and make sense to everyone involved. Offering a One Time Membership seemed to accomplish all of that in one fell swoop. I also wanted the transaction to be transparent and for every one to easily see what the total fee was and for there to be no ambiguity.

As you know, there are sites out there that offer a low first month rate to entice people to sign up and the reoccurring monthly charge kicks in starting with the second month, at a much higher rate and this higher rate continues month after month, forever. The majority of people are not even aware of this practice until these increased monthly charges appear on there credit card statements.

A One Time Membership Fee means just that, a one time fee of $36.00, period. Does this make sense to you?

Why a Lifelong Membership?

Proper Time Management is not a destination, it's a journey and that is just for starters. Members will find Time Management, Productivity Maximization, Stress Reduction, Power Living Life List, Irrefutables and many other tools available to them to improve and empower themselves on this site. Something you will never see on this site is the claim of the instant or over night solution to gaining back control of your time, increasing your productivity or any other life enriching life style change, these changes take commitment, time and energy to make happen.

This is why the Membership on our site is a Lifelong Membership, because the goals we set for ourselves are lifelong. It seems absurd to start to work with someone on an activity that will take them on a life long journey, and then hold my hand out at the end of the first month and say, pay up for the next month's installment.

The people who join our site and become Members, I want them to pay a reasonable fee up front, and then settle back and realize that everything else that we provide here is for their benefit, not just another way for me to make more money.

A certain amount of trust can be built at the beginning of the relationship when Members realize that the longer they stay involved with the site, the greater the benefit it will be to them. Members, who join today, will get all the benefits we have on the site today. In 30 days, there will be a minimum of an additional 20 original articles/modules available to Members.

The next month, members can look forward to more new, original material, guaranteed. The longer Members, stay involved with the site, their one time 36.00 dollar Membership fee will get maximized over and over again, to their benefit, not mine. Does this make sense to you?

Our Guarantees

We have three guarantees which we are proud of:

1. I guarantee to refund, in full, your entire Membership Fee, without any withholdings of any kind if you are unhappy for any reason with your memberships. We will even refund the $2.00 we donate from every membership to our charity, DSC, on your behalf.
2. I guarantee to add at least 15 new articles/modules/systems to the Power Empowerment site every month. This material will all be original content written by myself for the Power Empowerment site and its Members.
3. I guarantee that whenever you receive an email or communication from Power Empowerment that has my name on it, Bryan Beckstead, that that communication will have originated from me personally.

Does this make sense to you?

I Have Been around for a While

I started working, part time, when I was about 9 years old. I did not graduate from High School. I left and continued to develop the businesses that I started while I was still in High School. I have been self employed for more than 40 years. During that time I have been involved in the self improvement, self empowerment cultures and have amassed a large trove of material. My goal at the Power Empowerment site is to make those 40 years of experience and Living Life Lessons available to our Membership.

What has been available to our bricks and motor clients for over 40 years is now being made available to a wider audience that I could never have been able to reach had it not been for the Internet. Our membership will have access too completely re worked original content, updated and improved with the advantage of input and discussion from a world wide Membership base.

As recently as June/July 2009, I have created two brand new modules, available only to out members on this site. Power Living Life List and Power Irrefutables have never been viewed in their updated versions until now.

I look forward to updating, revising and adding new material to Power Empowerment for many years to come. Does this make sense to you?

Why is Our Lifelong Membership so Cheap?

Let's get right to this one and clear up this misconception as soon as possible. The question is not, why is my Membership so cheap, by Internet standards, the right question should be, why the heck are the other guys charging so ridiculously much!!

Comparing what we have to offer here to other sites in the same niche, is like comparing apples and oranges, all you end up with in the end is fruit salad. There are sites out there who are charging 100's of dollars for material that is suspect at best. I will not belabor the point nor will I turn this into a smear campaign aimed at other sites that charge many many times more than I do.

I want my material and what we have to offer here to stand on its own merits. That is why we have such a large volume of free content available on our site for everyone to look at and judge for themselves.

Before you consider becoming a Member, I hope you take the time to look at the over 400 plus original articles/excerpts/tips we have made available free on our site. Does this make sense to you?

It's Time You Got a Deal

When I started to look at starting an on line business, I was restricted in running a bricks and motor business. My reach was only as far as I could stretch my supply lines. The cost of moving material and products even short distances was high. Operational costs would dictate how far we could service our clients and expansion was an extremely costly process.

When I started my on line business, I thought I had died and gone to where ever people go when they die. I simply could not believe how inexpensive it was to operate the same business on line compared to a similar business in the bricks and motor world. The real truth is, you can not only operate a similar business on line, BUT a much better business on line for a fraction of the cost of running a business in the brick-and-mortar world.

Which brings me to you getting a deal for once? If my costs for operating my business are drastically lower operating online, why shouldn't my Members, my online customers benefit?

Do I even have to ask if that makes sense to you? Apparently this fact has not filtered down to the customer level on the Internet.

Not only are prices not lower on the Internet, there sky rocket higher. In the old days, if I wanted ship a Power Time System to Australia for example, the cost would end up close to a $ 100.00, with everything added in. Now, when we have a new member from Australia, they have access, 24/7 to EVERYTHING on our site, for as long as they want, for pennies.

That fact should be apparent in the price of our Memberships. I believe it is. I have a long standing philosophy, if it's going to be a mutually rewarding business relationship, both parties have to feel they got a good deal, price wise. If you decide to join us and become a Member, you will pay just $ 36.00 for a one Time, Lifelong Membership to our site. Does this make sense to you?

Price

What Do I Get with My Membership?

The simple answer is everything you see on the site today, as well as everything we add on to the site in the future. It's impossible to know when you will be reading this, so it will be difficult to tell you what is on the site, since we add new content onto the site on a weekly basis.

What is on the site as I write this is the following:

- The Power Time System, our flagship product which forms the basis of all of the other systems, modules, tools that we provide. The Power Time System (PTS) is a 400 plus, 8 ½ by 11 full page document available for instant download or 24/7 access to Members. The PTS is all original, copy written material only available on our site. For more details, click here.

- The Power Productivity Maximizer, (PPM) our second most important modular that works closely with the PTS. The PPM is a 100 plus, 8 ½ by 11 full page document available for instant download, or 24/7 access to Members. The PPM is also all original, copy written material only available on our site. For more details, click here.

- The Power Living Life List (PLLL) This is an important tool to be used in conjunction with the Power Time System and the Power Productivity Maximizer

- The PLLL is a powerful tool that can be used as a standalone activity but works best with the PTS and PPM. For more details, click here.

- The Power Irrefutables deal with setting up and defining core issues, critical if you want to get the most out of each day, professional or personal. When you are ready to implement the PTS, the Power Irrefutables will give you a foundation to build on. For more details, click here.

- The following systems/modules are due to be released over the next several months and may already be on the site depending upon when you read this. Power Stress Reducer, Power Goal Setting, Power Leadership, Power Empowerment, Power prospecting, Power Decision Making, Power Project Planning, Power Problem Solving, Power Business Management

On the site and available to Members as well as visitors are over 200 archived original articles written exclusively for this site. Some of this material is excerpts from the various Power Systems, all of it original copy written material. I will be adding to this material at a rate of at least 15 original articles on a monthly basis. That's a start. Does this make sense to you?

I Do Not Think You Are Stupid

I left this one to the last because this has caused me the most conflict. My price for the One Time Lifelong Membership to the site of $ 36.00 has raised a few eyebrows, especially among the experts that have been working with me on this site.

For once they are all in agreement; they universally agree that the price is low, not just a little low, a lot too low. They are of the school that I should be charging hundreds of dollars, for each System, not 36.00 for all of them. They point to the other sites, the quality of their material and what they are able to charge and get, and based on all of these factors, they feel my material warrants the price tag of hundreds of dollars, not 36.00 for the whole lot.

What really concerns them is that my price of 36.00 is not only radically low for the material already on the site, but when you factor in all of the future material, they just sigh.

Their final argument is this, people when they visit the site will look at the 36.00 price for the one time, Life Long Membership and think there is something wrong, that there is a scam going on because who would sell this quality product for that price?

I guess I would. I have already explained my position on the price. I will make a good sustainable living and be able to continue to add to the site by charging 36.00 dollars. I don't see the need to exploit people and over charge them just because that may be the way other people conduct themselves.

Everyone has a right to charge what they see fit for their product and then it's up to the public to buy it or not. This is where the comment that I do not think you are stupid comes in. My experts are afraid that you won't buy my membership because the price is too low and it will scare you away.

They say, play it safe, charge 97.00 a system and people will buy it then because they are use to paying 97.00 for a 12 page e-zine booklet hyped to the eyeballs. I'm not sure, but does that make a lot of sense to you?

Guess what, why we don't do this. Read what we have available for free on our site, there is enough free material to keep you going for a bit, well over 400 articles/columns/tips/excerpts from our Systems and then you decide if 36.00 is a good deal for you? Does this make sense to you?
