Anyone who is serious about making money online and who understands this is a business which requires work and effort is a potential customer."

Favorite Business Magazines: DMNews–"This is actually my favorite, although it is more of a newspaper than a magazine. It keeps you up to date with everything going on in direct marketing both online and offline." Money N Profits–"I like this magazine because it’s targeted to the small business entrepreneur. It often contains very well-written articles from Internet marketers and is a good resource for what is hot in small business." Business 2.0–"This magazine mainly covers large Internet corporations, not the small entrepreneurs like us. It is still a good resource to find out what big companies are doing right and wrong in business."

Favorite Business Books Or Authors: Getting Everything You Can Out of All You’ve Got by Jay Abraham–"I like this book because it opens your mind to the possibilities in business. There are numerous leverage points in any business and dozens of small changes you can make which immediately boost your profits." If You Can Talk, You Can Write by Joel Saltzman–This is one of the best books on writing I’ve found. Forget everything you’ve heard about how hard it is to write and get this simple explanation on how anyone can become a writer by following a simple system." Scientific Advertising by Claude Hopkins–"This book has affected virtually every marketer who has read it. It is one of the classics in marketing and it is the foundational material for all direct response businesses. Claude Hopkins shows you how anyone can use advertising as the ultimate leverage in a business."

Relaxes By: "I actually have a lot of little hobbies. One of my favorite things to do to relax is to sit out in my spa. Other times I like to be adventurous and ride my ATV’s through our woods."

Keeps In Shape By: "You caught me. I should exercise more frequently. When it’s not cold out, I like to jog several times a week. In the winter, I always end up gaining weight because I can’t get outside as much. So we’re looking at moving to a warmer climate this year."

Favorite Part Of The Job: "My favorite part of the business is when someone I’ve helped gives me a testimonial and tells me how I’ve changed their life. This happens regularly through e-mail and in person through conferences. It’s one of the greatest feelings there is.

Least Favorite Part Of The Job: "I hate it when something dealing with the technology of my business breaks down. I’ve learned over time that it seems Murphy’s Law lives in computers. Whatever can go wrong eventually will go wrong. So I do multiple back-ups of everything and always try to have a plan B for anything I’m doing in case something breaks down or stops working at an important time."

Companies You Admired: "I don’t really admire companies. I admire the people behind the companies. People who have started at ground zero and built large companies dedicated to helping people are some of the ones I admire the most. This would include people such as Mark Victor Hansen and Anthony Robbins. They’ve motivated, uplifted, and changed the lives of millions through their companies."

Favorite Quotes: Money is a terrible master but an excellent servant.–P.T. Barnum; My greatest strength as a consultant is to be ignorant and ask a few questions.–Peter Drucker; A man’s reputation is the opinion people have of him; his character is what he really is.–Jack Miner

The Person Who Most Influenced His Life: "My biggest influence on my life has been my wife. I’ve been very poor (over $50,000 in debt with no real assets) and I’ve been well-off. She has been with me through it all. Whenever I’ve been depressed, she has been there to motivate me. She has helped me every step of the way, so no one could ever be a bigger influence."

Heroes: "I guess the biggest heroes in my life would be the people from whom I first learned basic direct-marketing principles. When I first started my business online, I learned about direct marketing and direct selling through books and tapes by people such as Ted Nicholas, Bill Myers, Claude Hopkins, John Caples, etc. I wouldn’t specifically call any of them a "hero," but they were the people I originally learned marketing from. So they changed my life.

Special Accomplishments: I don’t really like to take any pride in awards. I’d much rather see results in the lives of my customers. So I consider some of their testimonials my biggest awards, such as one who bought my product and was able to earn enough profit to quit their job in just two weeks and another who did over $30,000 from one of my tips, and another who become an Internet consultant, taking the business they were working with to $400,000 a month.

Months Before Achieving A Profit: I was profitable in business in just under three months from the day I first bought my computer and went online.
