A Tale Of Two Entrepreneurs

A Tale Of Two Entrepreneurs

A Tale Of Two EntrepreneursHave you ever wondered why some people succeed in the world of business and others quit?  In this article “A Tale Of Two Entrepreneurs” we’ll be looking at that and there’s a twist at the end you might find interesting …

A Tale of Two Entrepreneurs  comes from Matt Llloyd the CEO and Founder of MOBE and it goes like this …

 

Early in my career, I learned a lot of important lessons, but what I’m about to tell you today might be the most important of all.

It’s a story about the difference between peoples’ mindsets … and the astounding results (either negative or positive) which are created. …

Back in 2009, I was part of an affiliate program (long before MOBE was around) for a US company which had just launched in Australia. This company had 3 main products priced at $1,755, $9,000, and $15,000.

You could make $1,000, $5,000, and $9,000 promoting them.

I’d never seen anything like this business, and the opportunity intrigued me. So I jumped in with both feet and invested my entire life savings into it (and whatever I could borrow from friends and family).

I didn’t think, “I’ll see how it goes, and if it doesn’t work out, then that’s OK because I’ll have a safety net.”

My mentality was “I’m going to make this work, no matter what.”

I even dropped out of college, after I’d been there for almost 4 years. If I’d stayed there for another 12 months I would have got 2 degrees. But with this new business, I figured I would not need them.

I started going to weekly meetings with other affiliates in this company.

Every week, we’d meet at the local bar where we’d get a late lunch and have a few drinks. We were all very excited about the potential of our businesses, and how much money we were going to make…

But as time passed, fewer people began to show up each week. And soon, it was down to just 3 or 4 of us.

Finally, it was down to just two of us—myself and another lady. Everyone else had given up, gone back to their jobs, or “put the business on hold until later.”

After what ended up being our final meeting, this lady and I got into an argument about something silly. She soon quit, and I assumed I’d never see her again.

bahamas-bl-adjustedWell, six years later I got a bit of a shock…

Not only did I see this lady, but it was in the most unlikely of places—on a beach at night in Phuket, Thailand!

It was at the welcome dinner for one my big Titanium Masterminds for my company MOBE, and she was attending as a guest of one my affiliates.  (The Titanium Mastermind is a 3-Day and 4-Night Wealth Building Retreat)

I asked her what she had been doing, and she told me she had gone back to her regular job. She said she was not really happy in that job (still) but had decided building her online business was too hard.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not judging her for going back to her job. It’s a natural desire to find a safe, secure source of income for most people…

But six-years earlier, we had both started out in the exact same place with the exact same resources and opportunities.

Within a six-year time period:

I was running an international training company (MOBE) that’s generated over $150 million … She was back at her old job, unhappy…

We were both complete newbies when we started and had similar backgrounds, knowledge, and IQs. But we got vastly different results.

You might be wondering what made such a HUGE difference?

The $150 Million difference was all about my SUCCESS MINDSET.

I had a Success Mindset—and she didn’t. It’s that simple. And the difference added up to over $150 million in sales, in just six years.

Here’s my point:

You must go into business KNOWING you’re going to succeed, and have that knowledge permeate everything you do (how you spend your time, how you make decisions, who you hang out with, etc.).

If you don’t have a Success Mindset, then you will get derailed at the first few inevitable challenges like Tracy.

You’re either all in, or you’re not in at all.

That’s why I want you to attend my new webinar, “How to Make $10k Per Month Quickly, Even If You’re New”.

I’m doing it a few times over the next few nights, at 7pm and 9pm local time.

The skills you learn in this Webinar could bring you anywhere from $100,000 to $1 million or more in revenue in the next 12 months, if you’re an action taker.

This webinar gives you the tools you need to build a strong mental foundation. You’ll discover how to fight through any obstacle, grow as a person, and learn how to generate enough income to live life by your own rules.

There IS a better way to THINK, a better way to LIVE, and a better way to get RICH. It’s all in your mindset.

You need to know how to build the strong mental foundation that could bring you a lot of revenue in the next 12 months …

Go here and begin your new journey.  Become the successful entrepreneur you know you can become.

If you find yourself struggling to be a successful entrepreneur, you are not alone…

According to Bloomberg, 8-out-of-10 entrepreneurs who start businesses fail within the first 18 months. That means 80% of new businesses crash and burn.

I’ve been wondering why that number is so high, and I finally figured out the reason…

Many small-businesses fail because the owner has their priorities in the wrong place. They have a big list of things to do for the business, but they never learn how to get their mindset right.

Remember, to be successful in business, you need to start with a “Success Mindset.”

A lot of my students start out with a limited mindset, but once they adopt the Success Mindset, I’ve seen many new business consultants quickly climb up to $100,000… and a couple of people have even made over $1 million in 12 months.

That’s exactly what you’ll learn in my special program—”How to Make $10k Per Month Quickly, Even If You’re New

7pm and then 9pm local time. Try to get on tonight.

On this webinar I’ll show you a program which teaches the average person how to think differently. You’ll learn how to think like the top one-percent, and this success mindset will propel your business forward.

See you tonight: Join The Webinar Here

A Tale Of Two Entrepreneurs – A Twist In The Tale

We promised you a twist in the tale if you read all the way to the end – here it is.

In 2010 just after we had begun our online business (it was in the business education and training niche which we are still in to this very day) we were introduced to the very same program that Matt became an affiliate of.  It was high ticket affiliate marketing and it was in the personal development niche which we were also great fans of.  We also saw what live events can do to help someone achieve their goals in life.  We got on board and it was going really well …. we didn’t quit but the company sadly did.

The twist in the tale is that we see where Matt Lloyd is now – CEO and owner with of MOBE with $150 Million in sales made and where we are now …

Do we have any regrets?  None at all.  We’ve enjoyed our years in a traditional business doing very well but our online business as affiliate marketers is something we wouldn’t change for the world because we now have FREEDOM and that is more precious than millions of dollars 🙂

We hope you enjoyed reading a tale of two entrepreneurs and especially that twist in the tale!

The Ultimate Retirement Blueprint

The Ultimate Retirement Blueprint

The Ultimate Retirement BlueprintToday we want to share with our Ultimate Retirement Blueprint. We’re Accountants and management consultants by profession and just a few short years ago, in our mid-fifties, we were working 6 – 7 days a week, 10 – 12 hours a day.  Always at the beck and call of our clients, even when we grabbed a short break on the ski slopes the mobile would ring…

We had a good income but  we had no time … no time for us, no time to travel, no time for our family and certainly no time to do the things we really wanted to do in life…AND retirement was on the horizon.

It was time to make a DECISION …

I found that every single successful person I’ve ever spoken to had a turning point and the turning point was where they made a clear, specific, unequivocal decision that they were not going to live like this anymore. Some people make that decision at 15 and some people make it at 50 and most never make it at all.

~ Brian Tracy

We understand what it’s like to be be faced with making a decision just like Brian Tracy says.  Not to be able to live the life we dreamed of.  That’s why we created the Ultimate Retirement Blueprint to share how we escaped the retirement trap and created the retirement lifestyle of our dreams

Our Ultimate Retirement Blueprint Story

It goes back to 2005 when we decided to invest in property to create our pension and fund our retirement. We even went on a course to learn how to do it properly as we knew there were a lot of pitfalls. But no course in the world can teach you how to avoid a major worldwide recession. Our pension was in danger of becoming a millstone round our necks. Our retirement fund was blown out of the water and our friends and family didn’t realise the predicament we were in.  They just told us “just keep on working and it’ll be all right…”

For us, hoping and praying wasn’t an option …we knew we would find a way out. We weren’t going to work for the rest of our lives or live hand to mouth on a tiny pension.

We sat down and thought long and hard about our future and maybe you’ve done that too

Now, as luck would have it we’d been searching for online education to enable our clients to leverage the internet to expand their businesses and it was through this research that we miraculously discovered we could actually build a business online and it was one that we could start part time and straight away

It was time to make a decision. One that would change our future, give us back our time, time for us , time to travel and time to do the things we really wanted to do in life and of course spend time with our grandchildren

To be honest for the first couple of years we struggled and our income was erratic.

We’d learnt some new skills and thought we had all the pieces but somehow they just didn’t all fit together. We were determined we would succeed and we weren’t going to give up.

The Ultimate Retirement BlueprintFinally we discovered the missing piece of the jigsaw and everything fell into place

We found ourselves a mentor – someone who had already achieved what we wanted to achieve and who would help and guide us.

We found a professional business that had the three key elements that are absolutely crucial to your success :-

Number 1 You have to work with people who have done what you want to do and are willing to help and guide you

Number 2 You have to have a proven system that’s simple to follow and will work for you even if you’ve never done anything like this before

And Number 3 A community of like-minded people to support and inspire you

AND it was working for thousands of other people, just like us.

 We now have a multiple six figure online business that allows us to follow our passion for teaching and training and support education for children in third world countries.

We firmly believe that online entrepreneurship will help people to create a better life for themselves in their 40’s, 50’s or 60’s

To work from anywhere in the world, travel to exotic locations, pursue passions and causes, control their destiny, their pension and their financial future.

You can find out more here

Now we’re what you might call evangelists for midlife start-ups and adamantly believe that this is an alternative that all at 50 plus should explore and believe that you owe it to yourself to explore with an open mind to determine if it might be just the solution you’ve been looking for.

We share with you what we call the “no savings retirement plan” and a calculator so you can find out for yourself exactly how much you need to support the lifestyle you worked all your life for.

You may be shocked but at least you will be able to begin to redress the balance when you have the facts at your fingertips.

We were recently interviewed by Mike Kennedy who has created a successful coaching business helping people 50+ to career change to entrepreneurship.  Here’s what he says about becoming a Lifestyle Entrepreneur …

“Becoming a Lifestyle Entrepreneur provides the flexibility required to accommodate other goals and dreams. Many 50+ entrepreneurs build businesses that provide the flexibility to accommodate several of the goals normally associated with retirement years. As I do my coaching via phone not only can I accommodate clients from other countries, I can also coach from other countries. This allows me to take extended vacations while still generating income. At some point if I decide to slow down either for a short or extended period my business has the flexibility to accommodate the slowdow”

That really is at the heart of what we have done by becoming lifestyle entrepreneurs – doing what we love and helping others to do the same and all the while fulfilling our passion for teaching and training and travelling the world which we might not otherwise have been able to do.

We hope that reading our story you will be inspired to take the step to becoming a lifestyle entrepreneur and live out your dreams doing what you love 🙂
