With a lineup like this, it’s hard not to hit a home run! Mark Joyner, Matt Bacak, Robert Allen, Bill Glazer, Marshal Sylver, Shaun Casey, Ted Nicholas, Kevin Wilke, Joe Sugarman, Keith Wellman, and Dan Kuschell were just a few of the big name presenters at the STFTT event. I personally watched and sat in the audience alongside other big name guys like Joey Smith and Tellman Knudson. It was really a who’s who in the “world of internet marketing” mixing it up with the new marketers. It was great to see these huge internet marketing legends, but what was even more surprising was the presence of guys like Ted Nicholas, Joe Sugarman, who almost everyone, one of these gurus, attributes to their enormous success in internet marketing that now it is possible thanks to things. these marketing legends did it. In fact, Matt Bacak went into a lot of detail about how these men were his mentors and how these guys left the mark for those of us who sell and promote products online.
My event notes are full of great comments from these great speakers. Mark Joyner explained to everyone that the “Recession” is and always will be the past. Since it is determined by two consecutive business quarters that fall, but it must be borne in mind that all this data is the past. We could have come out of a recession now and not even know it. His main point was: What do you do in a recession to make money? Respond: “The same thing you do when you are not in one.”
Matt Bacak gave us a fresh look at what his office is like and guided us on the proper ways to approach GURU’s … “Don’t sell burgers to vegetarians” was his big date. In other words, make sure your offering fits into the list of people you hope to do business with, if not, you should look for one that does. In other words, Matt sells to internet marketers, don’t go to him with a music product or, in other words, “Don’t sell hamburgers to vegetarians.”
Robert Allen told a really cool story about how no one was willing to hire him was the best thing that ever happened to him. After 27 rejections, he later found out what all of these employers realized. They knew that Robert would never be a great employee because he had an entrepreneurial spirit. Those of us who have an entrepreneurial spirit understand that … I suppose it is the same as, “To many cooks in the kitchen or To many Captains on the ship.” Everyone knows what I mean, but the main thing is to know if it is you. If so, you better reconsider being someone’s employee because you will probably end up hating what you do.
If you are just starting out, or have never been to an “offline event” like “Survival Tactics for Hard Times”. I encourage you to do whatever it takes to get your “you know what” soon! It will change the way you do business and open your eyes to new opportunities. This is my fourth event this year. Now I am the mastermind of a group of successful marketers once a week and I have many new contacts in the instant messaging industry. One of my partners is already working with “Keith Wellman” so you never know when I might make that big break and be one of the next IM GURUs, but I always like to remind everyone that they don’t have to be to make it. . great online. Most of what I do is local business and it can also be very lucrative. They say that if you have a good idea for a conference, it will be worth it. I have a full notebook packed so I must have hit the mother load. I leave you with this quote from Ted Nicholas, “The price of education is paid once, the price of ignorance is paid forever.” So next time you’re wondering if it’s worth the time and money to go to an offline event, remember this post and I’m sure your answer will be “Sure it is!”
