Happy 18th Birthday to us (save 50%)

Happy 18th Birthday to us (save 50%)

It was 18 years ago that I made the leap from stable employment to the roller coaster ride that comes from owning your own business. I've loved watching the Internet industry develop and excited to have been part of it, albeit in a very small way.

To celebrate, I've slashed the Beyond the Basics lifetime membership by half. And that's half-off our already ridiculously low price of only $97. You get lifetime access to the entire Beyond the Basics library, lifetime updates, lifetime support and I am so confident that you'll love the training that I include an unprecedented lifetime guarantee. Yep - if you decide 18 years from now that you want your money back, then you'll get it.

Claim your 50% discount by using this coupon code: [this offer is no longer available]

But hurry - offer ends this Sunday night.

P.S. After 18 years of working for myself from home, I've finally moved to an office ... in the backyard. My focus and productivity have started to return and I'm looking forward to cranking out loads more training in 2014.

Hi
Congratulations Richard, it take a lot of courage to job out of a secure employment and create your own business, very well done, you should be very proud of your achievements.

You don't by any chance let out the new building for over the weekend accomodation, if you do, we will call you before next come to Sydney.

Well I would ... except that it's now full of work stuff and so there's no room for a bed. Besides, you're not going to want to share the property with 4 kids under 8. Trust me. And you'd have to feed the 17 fish.

The headquarters of a global conglomerate - love it! Great job with your business too Richard. As someone who aspires to build their own web software company, I love the concept of what you're doing. Keep up the good work!

Looks like a cubbyhouse, and there are 4 kids did you say? Won't be long and you'll be out of there, so enjoy it while you can :D

Congrats on your 18 yrs in business. That is a special achievement.

You may call it a mantuary, you may call it a manspace, but you most definitely cannot call it a cubby house. Our eldest, who is only 7, is already eyeing it off, but trust me, it's not going to happen.

Happy Birthday to your business !
I'm really impressed and cannot be able to thank you enough for the tremendous step forward I've made thanks to your excellent tuition and support.
I should not say it but it is worth much much more than we pay for the membership.
Hervé (From France - Setting up a consulting business - ex CFO then Factory Managing Director - My site done entirely thanks to you : http://www.action-manufacture-services.com (sorry if it looks crappy but I've decided to do everything myself => no designer, no commercial templates, only the third party you've recommended). Thanks again ! ! !

Sounds good! Does your Joomla support also cover using K2? It seems that I am using that more and more for content.

PS. Thanks for the tutorials ... I'm always checking back on them they are invaluable to me.

Hi Richard,

I am a student in Mumbai, India and would like to subscribe for beyond basics course. Would I be able to get a discount, as it would help in securing finance for it.

Sorry - this was a very limited offer and it has caused me problems ever since. At some point I will be breaking up the bundle into smaller pieces that can be purchased individually, but I don't have a time frame for this.
