Favorite Part Of The Job: "Seeing customers succeed using our products and services, because we literally poured our life into everything we ever created. Everything we sell contains the keys to achieving a similar or higher level of success than what we have achieved, so when people apply it and do well (and they always do WHEN they apply it), it makes us super happy."

Least Favorite Part Of The Job: "Giving refunds to people who just don't TRY to make our products and services work, because those who really try WILL succeed...and those who don't are quitters and that's sad."

Companies Admired: Microsoft, eBay, and Dell

Favorite quotes:

• We must all suffer one of two pains in this life: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is...discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons —Jim Rohn
  
• There is no try, only do —Yoda
  
• A man has nothing except for his character —Marc's Uncle

The Person Who Most Influenced His Life: "My wife, Terry. She inspires me everyday to be the absolute best person I can be. She makes me proud of who I am…something that no one else before her was able to do."

Heroes:

• Mahatma Gandhi—He fought for decency and human rights for all people. He believed in giving up himself so that future generations could stand strong and tall and free themselves of the tyrannical socio-economic and racial discriminations levied against them.
  
• Moses—A brilliant man who, although full of flaws and human frailties, was decent and humble enough to know when God needed him to give up himself to lead his people to better things.
  
• Claude Hopkins—Perhaps the most brilliant marketing mind to ever walk the planet. He took the principles we all use to catapult our businesses to new heights. The difference is we are using technology, while he used the pen and paper. He was a mastermind marketer and one of the world's most savvy advertisers. Everyone can learn a million lessons from reading and re-reading Scientific Advertising.
