Life is Good! Storytelling, Networking, Elton John, Affiliate Marketing

Well well well a few exciting things have happened this week! Let me tell you all about them... Nothing but good things have happened (knock on wood)! We've had some exciting things going on, I'll mention a few, and I'll add some pictures how about that?

- We went to the 'Get Motivated' all day seminar at the Delta Center. We listened to some awesome speakers, Zig Ziglar, Giuliani, John Stockton, Steve Forbes, to name a few. And I had a fantastic time, listened to some things I had to listen to and learned a lot. I also find value in going to these events because they get you back into a stage where you believe you can everything and anything and you start brainstorming and seeing the different possibilities without the barriers of self-criticism.

- We also went to the Storytelling festival in Timpanogos. This was quite a treat! I had a blast, the weather was good and the stories were great. Storyteller Bill Lepp I believe was the highlight of the festival. I also enjoyed listening to Kala Jojo, and Willy Claflin.

- The other day I was watching ksl news in the morning and they had a contest where they asked in what year was Elton John's first album released, I quickly sent them an email and guess what?! You guessed it, they gave me two tickets to the Elton John concert later this month! Is that cool or is that cool?!!

- This weekend Shahar and I had the opportunity to be certified as Affiliate Managers. Affiliate managers manage affiliate programs, and assist their affiliates in generating more sales. I have to say that this wasn't the best explanation on the subject you'll ever read! Basically having an affiliate program is like having a strong sales force working for you all over the web, and the affiliate manager 'trains' and guides that sales force.

We met with some very, very powerful people. The program was put together by Russell Brunson and Stu McLaren. Russell is a very successful online marketer, he has over 30.000 affiliates and generates revenue of over six figures each month. He started on his own from scratch and started in less than 18 months ago. Oh, and he's from Idaho.

Stu manages the top top top internet marketers in the world! No kidding, he's the affiliate manager for Alex Mandossian, Armand Morin, Mark Victor Hansen, Dan Kennedy, and more... these are very powerful guys.

We interviewed them, so look forward to listening to them on upcoming podcasts! These guys were on the 'limelight', but some of my 'classmates' were Frank Sousa, James Scott, Rhea Perry, to name a few.

These are all known as super affiliates, which means they also really know what they're doing and they have tremendous success. - I had a fantastic time, learned a lot and made some very good contacts. Frank Sousa convinced us of going to the JV seminar next month, and I believe that's just what we're going to do! :)
