Common Thread of Internet Guru’s

A while ago Gary Ambrose & Keith Wellman had a webinar about the “Common Thread” of Success with people in the Internet Marketing game. I made the first one they had but could not hear a word of it due to some issue they had. Now I got to thinking about what the common thread was. They had a massive list of what is wasn’t. Of all the big names I have come across, a lot had some thing in common.

A few example, Michael Cheney lived in a one room dive and had a job he hated. Kimball Roundgoods lost his brother in a fishing trip, Amit Mehta nearly died twice, Tellman Knudson, Mike Dillard  both Broke and in dead end jobs. Dan Kuschell Just not making it. There are many more I could list but All these people have a common thread as I see it. No it so not they all have made money out of me.

They all have a want, a desire, a need. An own self belief. Its all about the attitude.

I’m a engineer in the high rise building maintenance field. I went off and did construction for a few years with in the same company as I needed a change. The boss offered me a big pay rise and the vehicle of my choice if I went back to my old trade. So as the good guy I am I go where I was needed. Long story short. One summer I’m off camping with the scouts. ( I’m also a Scout Leader. I go where I’m needed) At the end of the 10 day camp I had to go back to work.

I found that I could not face going back to the some old grind. Now the year before I drove in Demolition derby’s for a bit of fun. This is my near death moment that started the ball rolling.

The car I was driving had lost 1st gear so I was racing around the track backwards, The track has a small ramp that you must hit every time you do a lap of the track. So I hit the ramp in reverse and when I landed on the other side the car spins side on to the ramp. I’m now parked across end of the ramp with cars coming at me. Most just ran one wheel over the corner of the ramp and go around me. First gear does not work to get out of this mess, reverse is no good as a car is wreaked behind me and up against the track wall. So I stuck there watching the cars coming at me when one comes straight at the ramp and me as fast as he can. Now I’m still strapped into my seat and can not move so I just have to sit there a watch this car coming at me. It hits the ramp at speed and becomes air borne. His right front wheel lands on my bonnet as he drives over it. I had a great view of his wheels and the underside of this car. At the time I thought it was cool this car driving on my bonnet. The next car hits the ramp all wrong, glances off it, spins out 180 degrees and come driving back at me at full speed. Now the rule is do not hit the drivers door. So where did she hit me. In the drivers door. The door pillar had a small fitting still on it from the old seat belt. She hit me so hard that this went into my shoulder, Again It didn’t worry me. At this point the race was stopped as the woman that had hit me hard in the door, had signaled that she was hunt.  It took a while to get her out of the wreak, so I used this time to get myself out of my car. That’s when I saw that the tyre tracks across my bonnet had missed driving into my head by a only a foot.  It had been too close. That was my last race. It was few weeks later on holiday when the hit in the shoulder caught up with me. As I was swimming the damaged area gave way and stopped working.

Too close

Jump forward to the next summer. I had a bright idea, search the Internet for a way to make money so that way I did not have to work.  The first page of results had an ad that got my attention and my click. The landing page said all the right things to me, so within hours I had paid over $3000 to start my new career. I had one week of leave left to make it big. Not even. I now have access to a great product forever that I will use but I’m still in the same old job.

But what I have learned since then has been awesome. There is no get rich quick system, a lot of get broke fast if you use PPC the wrong way as I was taught. There are a lot of great systems out there and a lot of crap. I’ve brought and tried a lot of them. With this blog I have combined the best of the Internet marketing tools that  I now use to drive traffic, sign up leads and make money. I’m no millionaie (yet) but I’m now on the right track.
