Meeting the Gurus – Part Two

by -

So, if you’ve read my last post you may be thinking what a cynical guy I am right now. I need to quickly put up a balancing viewpoint based on some emails I’ve had over the last 24 hours.

Let me say, right now, that paying for time is just one way to meet the experts. It’s not the only way, but it is true that many of them are so busy that they just don’t have time to interact with every single person that comes their way.

On the other hand, sometimes you will meet folk who are just happy to help (almost at any cost). I wanted to put Robert Plank up for one of those awards.

I spent some time looking at his PLR Copywriting course just before I got into Chris Freville’s program and as a result I dropped him an email to say that I couldn’t do both, but how good it had looked….especially with the amount of PLR that I’m using at the moment.

He came back with several emails of encouragement and was very understanding (about missing out on my cash!). So, here’s to you Robert….you get a “sound bloke” award from the UK.

If you’re interested in looking at Robert and Lance’s PLR course, you should head over here -> PLR Copywriting The offer is open until Tuesday, so it’s short notice I know, but everything I have seen (including the late night webinar they ran) makes me think it would be a great investment. I’ll be re-visiting my involvement when I finish working with Chris.

Discover The Secret To Working With Great Internet Marketers

by -

One of the challenges to your early life in the IM world is just how you get to meet some of these “greats” that you hear so much about. These are the marketers that have made it already, whose names you see all the time in your email.

Well, I’ll tell you one way that works. (Disclaimer here, there may be others!)

Are you ready?

Pay them!

There, that seems simple-minded doesn’t it, but actually one of the things it does is signal that you are prepared to invest in yourself as much as you are in their product. If you are in a coaching program for 8 weeks and you have a chance to make a face-to-face meeting then you have earned that right – so do it!

Don’t back out at that point, making excuses about the time it will take because, like it or not, this industry runs on relationships as much as any other business.

So, what am I getting at here. Well, on a personal level, I’ve just signed up for a 6 month Mastermind group with Chris Freville here in the UK that I am really looking forward to. Apart from the pressure to perform and actually get on with it, I’m going to find meeting up with like-minded internet marketers a great way to break out of the “working alone in a bedroom” syndrome that this business brings.

Pearl of the Pacific - Boracay

What’s just as awesome is that I’m also off to the Philippines for John Jonas’ outsourcing retreat in March. I spent some time in September last year working with someone out there after signing up for his “outsource myself” program. I’m hoping to find someone more appropriate to work with me this time round, but again, I’m looking to meet folk from around the world who are going to the event….

….oh yes. I’m also going to enjoy a bit of a holiday!

If you’re stuck in London as an Internet Marketer, thinking that you never get to see others doing the same as you…let me know…I’m easily convinced that a chat over a beer is a good thing .
