Sounds like it will be a great time. I thought about entering, but had other commitments and would not be able to break them, not like I was gonna win. Congrats Zac!

I simply cannot believe that there were only 12 entries?!!! I think that you summed up alot of things in business, life, sports, love, when you said "you can give golden tips, tell people exactly what to do, and how to make money… but how many will actually follow up and take advantage of the situation." In today's day and age there is really no reason to be where you are if you are uncomfortable or complain about your current circumstances. You can just about find anything on the internet about how to do something and I simply can't believe how much money is out there to be had by the people who want to take some of it. Yet it's much easier to sit on the other side of the computer thinking "that can't be me, it would never work" and then complain to your spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend/family about how much you hate work/lack of money/how everyone else is luckier than you. Have a great time Zac and I hope you post some pictures of your weekend there. Congrats on the win. I simply cannot believe that there were only 12 entries?!!!

Rocket profit would have gotten more bang for their buck if they had included one ticket with expenses paid. Internet marketing is a global business and a lot of John and Shoe's readers are new to the game so A). The package isn't that appealing (from what I understand, elite retreat is supposed to help you take your product/business to the next level. That's great and all but if you don't have a solid product/business it's not worth anywhere near the price tag) B). When you're starting off it's hard to find the spare cash to fork over for expenses like airfare, hotels etc. Hell it's hard to find the spare cash to pay a designer or do some promotion. Also, John and Rocketprofit did a poor job of advertising the competition, posting to your blog simply isn't even anymore. My site is getting in excess of 5-10 new competitions given to us daily and there is 35+ other competition blogs in the market at the moment. From what I saw this competition was posted to two other sites that focus strictly on blog competitions and contests. Shame on John and Rocketprofit for not reaching out to these blogs (and shame on those blogs for not finding this information themselves) I am not surprised that John didn’t get more entrants to the competition, the barriers of entry to the competition were way to high.
