So Who's This Carlton Guy Anyway...and Why Should I Care?

Actually, nobody special; I'm just a regular guy who has decided to change the way I make my living.  For a long time I generated income the same as the majority of working people.  I worked for someone else.  And, quite frankly I never felt that I was paid what I was worth.

About 10 years ago I started my own service business and it has been successful.  My wife, Catherine, and I make a moderate living.  We have a loyal clientele who value us and our service.

However, I'm not a young man and like many people I am concerned about our future.  I certainly have no retirement plan and except for life insurance I leave my wife with a business she can't run by herself.

Then I had a couple of heart attacks and it really  made me start looking at things differently. 

For a while it looked as if I wasn't going to be able to return to work and I began exploring alternate ways of employment.  Very limited for an old fart.  Sure, I have a lot of life experience and a lot of skills.  But I'm still an old fart.
                                                                                                    
That's when I began looking into Internet Marketing (IM).  After over a year of learning I am finally starting to generate an income. 

One important thing that I learned is that I wasted a lot of time and energy during that year.  Much of that waste was not my fault.  There is a ton of misleading information out there on the Web and there are some unscrupulous individuals that are much more interested in taking your money than actually telling you how to do this IM business.


I felt adrift and it was not very easy for me to find genuine help.  Finally I did.  More on that later.


One very important decision I made at the outset of my pursuit that served me very well was not to spend money finding out how to build this business.  That was a wise decision.  I have heard horror stories about  people that have spent a lot of money searching out the guru's who offer the moon but are short on delivery.  It's true that many of them do give you valuable information but it's premature.  They assume (or not) that you are able to do the things they tell you to do.  But the simple truth is that you do not yet know the basics.  You find that you can't implement their tactics.

Also, I believe many of these marketers do know that you will not be able to follow through. The reason I believe this?   Shortly after you buy their product they begin offering you "necessary" add-on's.  One in particular is the one-on-one mentoring; the "I will hold your hand every step of the way" offer.  It just costs...    Well, you get the picture.

Now, the mentor idea is very appealing.  You simply have to ask if you have a question.  It reduces the amount of work you have to do on your own to find the answer to a problem.  But, if the mentor is any good this typically costs quite a bit of money.  And one of the things most people want when starting up a Web business is low cost.

I mentioned  that I found genuine help.  I found it through a free offer.  A simple eBook which taught me how to create a website.  I had been trying to learn this skill for quite a while and having little success.

I applied what I learned in the eBook.  It had real value and useful content.  Also, after about a week I started receiving weekly emails that also had useful content.  All free and no push to buy anything.

After coming to realize that I was receiving genuine help I joined a membership.  I have, as they say, never looked back.  The site is Chris Farrell Membership.  The content is truly awesome.  I feel that if a person can't get an on-line business going with the support of this site than he probably isn't either trying or cut out for Internet Marketing.

What you need to succeed as an Internet Marketer.

I am in this business to succeed. I am, as you may know, new to this business of Internet Marketing (IM). I am learning the in's and out's of the business. Naturally, you need to know the nut's and bolt's of how to market on line. 

I have spent this past week working very hard on getting my site up and running. It has not been what I would call hard work but it has been exhausting. Why? Because of the learning curve. Perhaps learning cliff would be a better description.

I did accomplish what I set out to do. But it took a lot more time than I expected. In the process I also learned some important aspects of this business that are going to serve me well as I progress. I learned a few things about what I need to succeed. 

clipboardLet me tell you about two of them.

Not everything went as well as I would have liked. I thought I knew more than I did. There were a couple of times when I seriously thought about throwing in the towel. But I didn't. I just adopted a bulldog attitude and resolved the problems.

If I had thrown my hands up in despair I would have not reached my goal. I could have fallen victim to the 97% who fail in this business.

Part of how I resolved some of my problems getting my site on line this week was by using resources at my disposal. I am a member of the Chris Farrell Membership site. Now the material provided by Chris is invaluable. I already knew that. But this week I discovered how valuable the forum on the site is. As one forum member said today in a post, “Chris, I think there is as much valuable information on the forum as in the membership site.” Many of the members are seasoned veterans of this business and are very generous in answering questions that are posted to the forum. It is like having a collective mentor. I had several questions that were holding back my progress answered by site members this week.

I am coming to appreciate how valuable my membership at Chris Farrell's Membership site is. I honestly don't know where I would be without it.
