Got to admit it to you folks, there’s something strange going on. And I like it.
In the last 24 hours I’ve seen the Light, or more specifically some unseen force has Lit Me Up.
Bigtime.
Here’s an outline of the story, which I truly think is stranger than fiction, in line with the cliche. It involves 2 guru-featuring videos and subsequent conversations triggered by a brand new blogger.
Tony Robbins – Mr “late night Infomercial King” as I know him in Australia – is one of the gurus. The non-Internet marketing one in fact. In Video #1 he, let me say it subtly, “staged” an interview with two self-made internet gazillionaires. It so happened these 2 dudes were in the neighborhood and simply showed up at the hotel in which Tony was filming other new programs!
The question bugging both Frank Kern and John Reese? “Tony, please help explain to us why it is that so few people who buy our (expensive) programs ever USE them?” Their rationale being that if only their followers could be somehow persuaded to take action then the awful failure stats for new online marketers could be reversed. A perfectly logical proposition.
So I watched the video. And normally for me that would have been the end of the story. No big deal. My internet marketing “plate” was far too full to be bothered lingering further. Geez, I’d already spent 38 minutes of valuable time viewing it from start to finish.
The intrigue began soon after on the same day. Somehow I happened upon the very 1st post on a brand new blog. This remarkable lady wasn’t about to make a sheepish entry into the blogosphere. Oh no! Without fanfare or apology she set about defending the integrity of Frank and John in responding to another blogger’s thinly veiled video critique. It was an exchange I couldn’t resist engaging in so I duly added my comment(s). I too defended the internet marketing guys – after all, I had been impressed with how Frank Kern delivered an impromptu talk at a conference I attended in Las Vegas a month ago, on the very same topic! Before that I never knew either of them.
Guess what writing those comments forced me to do, for accuracy – trawl carefully through Video #1 to learn exactly what the arguments and consensus opinions were. I transcribed the important bits and summarized the rest. Unbeknown to me, the imprinting had begun.
Fast forward to 5 days later when Tony Robbins, in concert with a veritable tribe of guru internet marketers, announced Video #2. This one had Tony zeroing in on exactly how it was that John Reese could go from a starting point of being $100K in debt to later becoming the 1st ever internet marketer to have a “million-dollar day”. Prior to that, this daily income threshold level was an unimaginable achievement to all online gurus …except John!
Singlehandedly, the quiet, unassuming “regular guy” John Reese had managed to crack internet marketing’s sub-4 minute mile. The 16-minute video interview is jam-packed with ALL the elements necessary to START achieving online success.
In thanking John at the end of the video, here’s what Tony said: “…I think it’s going to make a difference for a lot of people”.
Certainly has for me. Already.
And for Tina, the fearless blogger! In less than 2 days she’s already created a totally new infoproduct to sell online and begin to create momentum. Inspired by a statement of John’s in Video #2, she’s nicknamed the project her “Pebble Theory” Momentum Series Self-challenge. All from a zero starting point. Wow – that’s my lightning bolt!
P.S.
Warning to all current internet marketers – there’s an almighty Steam Train comin’ down the line Real Fast. No it’s not me (yet); it takes the form of a smooth talking tall guy with freakish teeth and a LOT of influence. Be swept up or swept away. You read it here first.
