How Chris Rochleau And His Entrepreneur Ideas Transformed My Life

Before I was lost trying to find a way that I could do to make money online or offline.

 

I tried everything until I stumbled onto a picture of a cow…Yes, a cow that Mack had posted on facebook.

and clicked it and this whole beautiful world of Internet and even better network marketers, not the kind I met many years before, but successful, caring about their team duplicating, kind of network marketers.  This is my sponsor Mack.  he is larger than life on the Internet and a real person.  I met him at an event.

and even better network marketers, not the kind I met many years before, with the “Rah Rah” meetings.  I hated those and quit that vitamin deal, and the cosmetic deal that turned my friends face orange, and the single family home real estate deal and the commercial real estate deal, and the commodity investing and wholesale merchandise, and garbage contract deals, I quit them all because they did not work.  Been there done that.

(although we do have events every 90 days, but nothing like you’ve seen before unless you have been at an Empower Network event before) but successful, caring about their team duplicating, kind of network marketers.  

This is my sponsor Mack.  he is larger than life on the Internet, with a huge list, he is a specialist in a certain kind of marketing, and a real person with a real inspiring story.  I met him at an event.  He never helped me.  He let me struggle to get stronger.  He answered my emails in the beginning.  He is the reason I am here.  Thank You Mack.  He is a brilliant marketer.  He attracted me!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I learned about the kind of online, network marketing/affiliate marketing, and their listen to their entrepreneur ideas,   You see we help business owners make money with their good ideas, Aaron Rashkin said that. I wanted to work with, these kinds of people, I learned that in an interview Chris Rocheleau and Jon Mroz did on the Inner Circle Audios.  They described the perfect customers.  Kind of like the people you see in that picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I learned about offline marketing from my sponsor Chuck Marshall Pictured here with Mack, his sponsor, in the Inner Circle Audios.  he had already been successful offline before he found this business.  He talked about the importance of getting a mentor, like his mentor Mack.  M ack has guided me along the way by doing, by producing, by setting the example. Not by telling me how, but by showing me it can be done.

Mind you, I am no technical genius when it comes to this stuff.  I had rto come up with my own entrepreneur ideas on my journey to success.

 

I just have a burning desire to succeed that has been inside me since I resigned from my last “real job” back in 1993. Ever since then, I have struggled to find the answer to what I was going to be when I grow up.  I have been a business owner.  My family to this day has no idea.

Well, I found my answer in these audios. They taught me I really could succeed online. They helped me dream again. They gave me hope and the strategies I needed to make my dreams a reality.

They taught me I really could succeed online. They helped me dream again. They gave me hope and the strategies I needed to make my dreams a reality.

You know when you are young and in College or High School, you are full of passion and hope and you are going to make a difference in the World.  Then later in life reality sets in, the stresses of being an adulyt rear tyheir uglyhead,  that working for someone else sucks.  Struggling to pay bills sucks.  Not having enough pay check at the end of the month sucks.  The opposite is having

The opposite is having enough money to do what you want when you want, and it is a great feeling,  to grab the check at a restaurant and know that there is enough money in your account to pay for everyone in your family.  To be able to travel anywhere you want anytime, you want.

This picture above is when this all became real. This is when I met the guy on the Audios, Chris Rocheleau. He was so nice. I had never taken pictures with a celebrity before, so I stumbled all over myself, but he was very patient and helped me get these photos. You see in this post.  Sorry, I do not have all the names of the people.  Steve is the young man in the wheelchair a real inspiration to all.  I need to work on remembering last names.

I had met a young man with a burning desire to succeed all the way in Australia, and he had met me in Miami where this event took place. We had been doing Hangouts together using the leveraged power of the Internet. This is how I got good at using the technology of the Internet. By being not so good at it, and getting better.

 

 

 

 

Just like Jon Mroz talked about in the Inner Circle Audios, that I downloaded and listen to over and over. Each time I do listen to these amazing audios I learn “one more piece to the puzzle.”

There is a picture of a Young man  above I met. I heard him speak in Orlando the same event I met my workout partner Chad Ockstadt.

Jon Pembernathy said in a talk he gave as he had just won a contest in Empower Network, and I am paraphrasing here:

“The only people that do not become successful in Internet Marketing are the ones that quit!” These are the people that give up on their own entrepreneur ideas and go back to work for someone else.  But, I know that is not you.  Keep reading.

 

That one moment in time inspired me to no ends!

You see, what I am trying to say is, what I learned two years after I started online. I actually learned it today listening to the Inner Circle Audios on my way home from work.

I spent 40K(do not do that, although I learned a ton) I spent way too much money trying to find “the secret”  and it was inside me all along. 

It is my burning desire to succeed no matter what…that’s it period!  That is the secret!  

 

The rest is logistics, details, resources that everyone has access to, and those you have to pay for.  You see it is like a Wild West” out here and there are good guys and women, and bad guys and women out here in this Industry.

What Industry am I referring to?  Well, these are the Industries I have experience in:

1) Agency Marketing

2) Network Marketing

3) Affiliate Marketing

4) Event Marketing or sponsorships

We sell information online and off-line we provide services for companies big and small that want more sales.  When you get right down to it that is what we do.  We get paid handsomely to do it.  How much you ask?   This is one of the reasons that I am so persistent!  Good Marketers can easily earn $150/hr as a consultant.  Great Marketers make $250/hr ++ as consultants.  When I started online my services offline went out at $350/hr. Why?  I had to pay the great agents that did the work for my clients.  They are much higher now.  Why? because I set my hourly based on my outcome.  Vick taught me that in Chicago.  If you’d like to know my hourly now, ask me

My fees are much higher now.  Why? because I set my hourly based on my outcome.  Vick taught me that in Chicago.  If you’d like to know my hourly now, ask me in the comments, or at an event.  Our next one is in Nashville.

Why? Because my agents only work on multi-million dollar campaigns for Billion dollar companies.

 

It was just before the 2008 crash, my consultants/agents were coming to me and saying, “things are changing in marketing, and others were getting wind of the changes and saying, “I am getting out.”  I did not know what they meant, but they were right. 

I did not know what they meant, but they were right.  The 2008 crash hit, and I was now looking for a way to pay my bills.  Income froze.  I found myself starring at CNBC and Bloomberg Television, trying to figure out what just happened to my life ai had worked so hard to make.  My outcome would have to be put on hold while I survived.  That is a story for another time.

I was working with complex sales consultants and they charged me $20K on top of the 40K that I spent online( it was a contingency contract with my complex sales consultants)  So when I hit my outcome of $250K/year they get their  21K plus 6% of all the commissions I make.

You see, I was already good at sales. But, I wanted to be great!   Low to medium ticket,  (up to $4,000/month) has always been a natural for me, on the phone, and in person( although harder in person because prospects play games) Why? because they think they are supposed to.  No one likes to be sold to, but everyone loves to buy.  I always intend to be as honest as I can with them.  if it is not a good fit, it is not a good fit.  

Why? because they think they are supposed to.  No one likes to be sold to, but everyone loves to buy.  I always intend to be as honest as I can with them.  If it is not a good fit, it is not a good fit, and I tell them that.  They hear the sincerity in my voice, because it is real. 

As an Entrepreneur, You go through a period of time where you are firing bad clients. That was the best thing I ever could have done for my business.  But, at the same time,  I should have never have gotten rid of all my customers.  The lesson I learned there was:

The lifetime value of a customer is more important than the short-term sale.  I was learning through the school of hard knocks.  But the knocks make you stronger.

Here is what I have learned so far:

1) You will start where you start everyone does
2) There will be a learning phase, everyone has one, and they are all different.
3) You can easily spend too much and get overwhelmed. Don’t let that happen to you.

4) you do not have a business unless you are making money.  You are in business to sell products or services. Period.  There is no room for negotiation there.  make money, earn money providing value for others or your business dies and you go get a job to eat.

5) Getting together to network to see what kind of business we can do together is a crock!  if a person really is a good networking fit you will know it right away.  You feel it in your gut.  You can tell when everyone at the event just want to sell you their stuff.  You can tell when people want free consulting.    They do not know any better.  They are where they are in their business.  Unless they are willing to invest in their education, you will not be able to help them. Always find out how you can help them as you may know someone who can help them. Seek first to understand before being understood.  I learned that fro one of my mentors, and there are many, success leaves clues, The Samurai Business Group.  They turn superstars into legends.  Ask for Dan Kreutzer or Robert Lambert.

Now with that said, I needed to go through that phase to learn what I liked and what I did not. I needed it to become the person I am today.

My struggle made me stronger. 

Do not deprive your downline of the struggle. If you save them, they will go right back to the place they found you at in their lives. The matrix (working 9-5 in corporate America and liking it) will pull them right back down and that will be sad. You can be their guide because we have a system that is so great it allows the individual to really get empowered to be themselves if they use the products and do the work

You can be their guide because we have a system that is so great it allows the individual to really get empowered to be themselves, if they use the products and do the work on themselves, they can develop into the leaders that speak on stage.
