Imagine what it would be like if you could just have some little successes, some pint sized results from all of your hours on the internet. Late nights, too much coffee, blurred vision<\/strong> staring at the screen, imagine if that actually amounted to a real, visible, tangible result<\/em>. Just think about it<\/strong>\u2026 you place an ad, or write a blog post<\/a>, and someone actually sees it and acknowledges that it\u2019s there. Isn\u2019t that what we all really want? To know that someone sees us?<\/p>\n In a moment, I\u2019ll tell you<\/em> exactly what I\u2019ve personally done to increase by subscriber list sell more products online and make more money in the past 68 days online, than in the previous 7 months \u2013 and the great thing about it, is no one really knows yet \u2013 but you\u2019re here, so you get to be inside.<\/p>\n Most people I talk to or meet online, have absolutely no idea what I do. Even people I meet in person (even my wife is perplexed with what I do on the internet all the time\u2026). We sat with her friend for coffee a while back, and she asked me \u2014 what\u2019s all this online stuff \u2013 really \u2013 does it work? What do you even do with it? Well I didn\u2019t really have an answer, because sometimes I don\u2019t even know what I\u2019m doing, but it\u2019s working.<\/em><\/p>\n Creating and thinking outside the box is something I love. Because I put myself in a box a long time ago, I stopped myself from getting to the core of what this creativity could mean for me. <\/p>\n This is a painting an old friend of mine and me did together on his front lawn. I had no clue what I was doing. He gave me some paint, a canvas, and I went to town. After, he painted over it in some parts, so the final result was more of a collaboration\u2026. I have it up in my office. Every time someone comes in, regardless of how long I have it up, I get a comment.<\/p>\n \u201cDid you do that?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWow \u2014 where did you get that?\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s sort of funny how I came to be where I am in my life.<\/p>\n I was a trouble maker<\/strong> as a kid, dropped out of high school<\/strong> (after attending 4 different schools in 4 years<\/strong>), somehow got into college, and I went down the road of \u201cfinancial planning\u201d because that\u2019s the picture of wealth I had from a family member.<\/p>\n My upbringing I was taught to get an education, study, keep a low profile, don\u2019t make a scene (didn\u2019t really listed\u2026). God willing I did ok, struggled a bit but graduated and got a really great job supporting some of the top top people in our business. The benefit of this job was meeting the right people, but more important was I was able to get creative. I have a feeling this is because my creativity and passion for making things perfect was able to shine. It had been bottled up for so long, that I had an outlet. It was on a spreadsheet, but it\u2019s amazing how creative you can be with some numbers Funny thing is that I was drawn to the internet. I started a website for my business, started blogging, learning about advertising online and in print, started doing short info videos, and really all the things that I see online now in the internet marketing\/affiliate marketing space. Long story short, I ran out of money. It didn\u2019t work out in the long run, for some other reasons, but the main point was that I saw something on the internet that I could do<\/strong> \u2013 some potential, some incling of hope<\/em>. Are you beginning to see<\/em> where my journey started?<\/p>\n This was around 5 years ago. No excuses<\/strong>, it didn\u2019t work out. Financially there were insane commitments and I had personally made some stupid financial decisions. This led me and my family into a situation I wouldn\u2019t wish on my worst enemies, which we are out of now, but it is still such a close thought that I shutter<\/strong> every time there is a phonecall (from anyone\u2026). The positive in this, is now I actually understand how fragile life can be. How close we all are to having our lives changed, for good or for bad.<\/p>\n Since you\u2019re still here, I\u2019m going to assume<\/em> you really want to know how I became an EPIC failure in all types of marketing. Here it is.<\/p>\n \u201cHey! I see you also have a home business<\/a>?! What do you do?<\/em><\/p>\n Love to connect,<\/em> That was my prospecting intro\u2026 I would go on facebook, search groups like \u201chome business\u201d, \u201cMLM Sucks in Ohio\u201d, \u201cBiz Opp For Junkies In Toledo\u201d, \u201cEpic Failures are Welcome \u2013 Spam Allowed \u2013 Come one come all, no one will buy anything\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n \u2026.<\/p>\n Sorry I just gagged. Nasty memories.<\/p>\n So you see how creepy that is? I would try and find people I had things in common with, then randomly send a chat message\u2026 who does that!? Actually I got recruited into a company that way twice, so I guess I learned wrong from the start.<\/p>\n All this while I was watching insane amounts of webinars, training videos, listening to audios in my<\/p>\n car, and \u201ctalking the talk\u201d, while having NO CLUE what the hell I was doing.<\/strong><\/p>\nIt All Started With Splatter Paint<\/h2>\n

I \u201ctried\u201d going out on my own and positioning myself in the market, prospecting for business, knocking on doors, and doing all the things I \u201cthought\u201d I wanted to do.
