Just wanted to say a quick hello from beautiful Thailand. I will be posting some pictures and personal updates over on my Work At Home Dad blog in within the next couple of days if you would like to see where I have been and what I have been up to.
Have a great weekend!
P.S. I will return to regular posting on Feb. 6th.
I have read roughly a book a week for the last twelve months and I can tell you without question the book that made the most impact on my life is "The Go-Giver".
Bob Burg, co-author along with John David Mann is part of my It's Called Success program and is one of the most respected people around the Network Marketing industry.
Check out what others are saying:
Trust is established when you act in the best interests of others. This terrific book wonderfully illuminates this and many other principles of contribution, abundance, service and success. In a style both engaging and insightful, The Go-Giver delivers a very powerful message.
— Stephen M. R. Covey, author of The Speed of Trust
The Go-Giver does everything I would wish a good book to do. The story captured me from the very beginning to the very end. The lessons touched home again and again. Read it to the very end.
— Michael E. Gerber, author of The E-Myth
Get the book here, with a bunch of bonus material including a leadership video of my partner, Bo Short: www.thegogiver.com/amazon
I won't mention the spammers persons name that sent me an email with the following headline:
"Are you getting the results you want from your internet activities?"
The headline was large and red...and screamed spam.
So let's look closely here at what this person did...
1. Farmed my name and email from somewhere on the net.
2. Composed a spammy email meant to spark my interest in his "solutions"
Here is the problem:
The dude has no idea who I am (or who his target market is). For the love of Pete, Mr. Spammy is asking me, a guy who has created over 5,000 opt in leads in the last six months (all free) on the Internet if I need help with my "internet activities".
UGH! If you are going to spam me...at least "Google" my name first so that you don't look like an idiot. The guy would have better luck selling ice-cubes to Eskimos.
And another thing: Shouldn't a guy who is pitching "internet solutions", have an Internet presence? The first thing I did (after emailing the guy and asking if he was joking) was "Google", Mr. Spammy. I couldn't find anything listed in the Google top ten under his name.
For the record, if I am looking for "solutions" for my "internet activities", I call Mike Dillard or Tim Erway. I might email Perry Marshall or Ken Evoy or I might seek out Eben Pagan, Tom Bell, Seth Godin or Yanik Silver for some coaching. Mr. Spammy need not apply to help me with my "activities".
This post really isn't all that confidential since thousands of people will read it but it is personal. I just want to share a little glimpse into my life with my friends that read this blog.
I have had a crazy yet very productive start to the new year. A ton of great people have entered my life and I have renewed some past partnerships that will help me move forward and make 2008 my best and brightest year ever.
In a couple of days, I will be leaving the country for a family trip to Thailand. I will be bringing a laptop and I hope to find an internet cafe every now and then so that I can post some pictures and give you some updates. If you know any Network Marketers who live in Thailand and would like to meet me, give them my web site: TyTribble.com and ask them to contact me.
A quick note about Network Marketing:
I believe that more people will make a solid profit in Network Marketing in the next 3 years than the previous 50 years combined. There has never been a better time to build your business. Lock in with a great company and focus on your future.
You Can Achieve Your Dreams!
I didn't have a chance to post yesterday so I thought that I would give you a quick rundown from the More Heart Than Talent Network Marketing event in Dallas, Texas.
I spent most of the day networking with hundreds of entrepreneurs at Todd Falcone's table and I met some great people. Some for the first time, others that I have known through the industry but never met face to face and others that I know well.
The speaker that I caught most of was Mark Victor Hansen (if you have a chance to see this guy, GO!). Mr. Hansen helped me expand my thinking in a couple of areas that I will share with you later.
In addition to Mark Victor Hansen, Todd Falcone, Susan Sly and Jeffery Combs were the main speakers. Once I get back to Seattle, I will do a post on each of them. I will also give you a rundown on the other speakers and people that I hung out with and networked with.
One person that stands out to me is a 39 year old woman who was illiterate until the age of 29. She has made over $1.2 million in the Network Marketing/Direct Sales industry over the last two years, overcoming some incredible obstacles. I will make sure that you get hear her entire story in the near future.
There are a ton of leaders here and I really have to question why more people do not attend this event. I will never miss another one.
I wanted to take a moment to wish you a Happy New Year ( I know it says "Merry"...it's a Trading Places reference).
2008 promises to be a great year for Network Marketing and Direct Sales.
I am off to Dallas, Texas tomorrow for a 3-day Network Marketing (More Heart Than Talent) event that includes some great speakers and several hundred attendees. If you are attending, please be sure to look me up. I will be at Todd Falcone's table on Thursday and then I'll be hanging out, doing interviews and networking on Friday and Saturday.
I will be doing some blog posts from the event so watch this space.
Make 2008 the year you look back on and say, "that was the year that I really broke through".
