Seminars
Although I haven't attended many Internet seminars and workshops over the years, I have been fortunate enough to meet some of my mentors, colleagues, and customers recently. As you've probably heard time and time again, attaining all of your financial dreams on the Internet boils down to one word ...
Leverage.
In other words, the more relationships you build with other like-minded people, the more joint venture partnerships you can create, and the more wealth you will attain. It has been proven over and over by some of today's top Internet marketers.
Family
I am a single dad to two amazing boys, Ryan and Brayden.
Ryan, age 8, is facinated with money. And, although he doesn't think it grows on trees, he really believes that making money is as simple as sitting down to the computer. He understands that Dad's "job" is working on the computer, so when he walks into my office he'll often ask, "Daddy, are you getting more money from your computer?"
I'm not certain Ryan's at an age yet where I can really sit him down and explain exactly what it is I do, so for now we'll just go on pretending that my computer "spits out money." Then again, I suppose it's not a far stretch from the truth ...
If you study and learn from many of today's master marketers like I did, then your computer really can become your own virtual ATM banking machine that makes you money around the clock, even while you sleep.
Brayden, age 6, is has a real knack for computers and loves playing online games. It's amazing to me when I see these young kids sit in from of a computer and a keyboard fo the first time and just "get it." It's always amazed me to hear about these young kids and teenagers hack into government computers, spread global computer viruses, and bring big businesses to their knees with a few simple keystrokes. Well, it's safe to say I won't encourage Brayden to join those ranks, but if he expresses an interest in what Dad does, then all the power to him. Nothing would make me happier than to pass what I've learned over the years to my kids, and watch them enjoy the every lifestyle that I've been so fortunate to live.
Joanne, who also has two boys of her own, is intrigued by what I do, although she thinks it comes far too easy ...
Well, the truth is it does come easy ... now. It didn't always come easy. In the beginning, and over the years, it took a lot of hard work, a lot of trial and error, a lot of mistakes, a lot of luck, and plenty of perserverance.
Unfortuantly, so many "newbies" have been led to believe that making money on the Internet is as easy as buying a domain, creating a simple web site, buying a couple of products with resale rights, and building a list of subscribers. Well, if it was that simple, then everybody and their brother would be doing it, right?
Building a business on the Internet is no different than building an offline business. Well, that's not quite true because the barrier to entry is smaller, and most people can get started online with very little upfront capital. Buidling an online business does, however, take knowledge, a dedication to continued learning, planning, leverage, and so on.
Again, there's that word "leverage." Leverage is key ...
Do you think John Reese achieved his million dollar launch in 24 hours on his own? No. He had the help of dozens, if not hundreds, of friends, colleagues, affiliates, and joint venture partners helping him and promoting his course.
The same holds true for the amazing success of Mike Filsaime's Butterfly Marketing launch. If I'm not mistaken, about 80% of all Butterfly Marketing sales were the result of Mike's friends, colleagues, affiliates, and joint venture partners.
Okay, enough ... you get the picture (no pun intended) ...
