THE DAY I BURNED THE SHIPS —
THERE WAS NO TURNING BACK
And then one day, I just decided I would
no longer write copy for anyone else. I
fired all my copywriting clients in ONE
day. Talk about brass balls.
I called them and told them, “I’m sorry. You’re a great client. We’ve had a great business relationship, but Ican no longer write for you. I’m going to pursue my new business ventures. Thank you.”
There was no turning back. I had burned the ship and put myself
into a financial crisis. Looking back, that turned out to be one of the
riskiest, yet one of the best decisions I’ve made.
That same year, I made a huge investment into a software program
that I planned to market to network marketers. The programmer
basically ripped me off and
overcharged me. Even after I had paid
him tens of thousands of dollars, he
hadn’t done a damn thing. When I
found out, it was too late. He took my
money and disappeared.
That same year, I started five websites
and they ALL failed. I lost almost all of
the money I had made from my initial
Internet boom. I found out quickly that motivation is good, but desperation is
even better. I really had to dig deep to
see what I was made of.
I started really analyzing what worked
and what didn’t. Why didn’t certain
things work? What new skills did I
need to develop in order to make this
Internet business successful?
I started developing a set of principles
and philosophies to making money on
the Internet. These are fundamentals,
not the latest gimmicks or tricks.
MONEYISM #74: Failure is a resource. It helpsyou find the edge of your capacities.
Fundamentals are everything, while
fads come and go. In martial art, I’ve
learned that an amateur is someone
who knows a thousand moves but
practices each move one time. A
master is someone who knows only
a few moves but practices each
move thousands of times.
The same concept applies to business.
If you aren’t getting the results you
want, if you back track you will see that
the cause is that you aren’t using the fundamentals to online business
success. I’ll share these fundamentals
with you in just a minute. They are surprisingly simple, but profound.
Then I launched a piece of software called Instant Cash Copy, which helps business owners crank out killer adcopy without hiring an expensive copywriter. It became an instant best-seller and it’s still one of my best-selling products.
In the meantime, I started developing more high-end educational products, such as homestudy programs, manuals, and CDs.
With the combination of good traffic-generation tactics, good products, and
killer copy, my business took off in a hurry.
I was now back on my feet. My sales in
the month of March 2005 reached
$20,000. I had doubled my previous
record of ten thousand.
I thought I was something special. I really thought that was a LOT of
money.
A few months later, I coordinated with a
group of joint venture partners and did
a product launch that generated over $101,694.00 in twenty-nine days. I took
a lot of that money and started other
Internet businesses in various niches.
I began to outsource a lot of the tasks and started building a powerful team.
Armed with my experience and skills, I
was able to dominate niche markets
and multiply my income very quickly.
In 2005, I ended the year doing $467.096.92 in sales. By 2006, I became a millionaire. I doubled that figure in 2007. I doubled that figure AGAIN in 2008. I won’t even tell you how much I make this year because you probably won’t believe me (not that I care what you think...).
Did it happen over night? No. Was it easy?No. Was it worth it? Absolutely!
In fact, would you believe that my most successful student is doing better than me?He’s making twenty million dollars a year online. That’s how powerful the Internet is.
