Hey InfoPreneurs,
Man….It’s amazing to me how fast clouds are able to roll back when things start moving in the right direction. Really. I’m flat out going to tell you…I’ve sucked…in many ways. You know what…the more I get away from the “Build it and they Will Come” mentality, and move toward the “Let’s, you and I, build and partner on something great together, and share it with people” mentality…walls are literally RIPPING down.
Recently, I’ve received personal rejection emails from Millionaire internet marketers. I’ve been ignored by some of my favorite Marketers. On the same token, I’ve received personal acceptance emails from some other Millionaire marketers, and many others who are ABSOLUTELY CRUSHING it right now.
I don’t have a lot of time right now, but I just wanted to give you a “3 minute read” of encouragement. Dream big, and reach out and partner. I’m willing to give anything I have/can to all of these people who are looking to partner with me on some stuff. I’m getting some emails from other fabulous people, and I plan on doing it right with all of them.
You are failing because you aren’t reaching out and partnering as much as you need to. Ask people for help.
Not everyone can/will work with you/partner with you, etc. If the marketer is worth any grain of salt: They are producing content, holding webinars, running accounting stuff, working with partners, etc. I would NEVER falt anyone for not getting back to me. NEVER. I’m already starting to see how there just isn’t enough time in the day to do everything that you would like to do…but it is also clearly exposing areas of my business, that as soon as cashflow kicks in better…will get outsourced.
Like What, Brandon
Like…I HATE taking my transcriptions and EDITING them…I am COMPLETELY into brainstorming products with people/myself, and creating the content for everything. I am soooooo not into the tedious things…and those will be the first to go.
There is some awesome stuff just around the corner. Yeah, I’m not going to hit my product count from my own challenge. You know what….it’s for every InfoPreneur out there’s best interest though that I don’t. I’m rebuilding…from the ground up…what used to be the 7 Day Info Products. I’m ripping it apart…starting over taking the feedback everyone gave….and going to create the best valued product on the topic in the market today. (At least I think so. 
)
So, No, this post isn’t very “Eye Appealing”, but I’d rather get you some content…and worry about how good it looks later.
Do MORE than you think you can do. Don’t Stop. DO NOT GIVE UP.
Brandon
Do me a favor…produce SOMETHING tomorrow…you’ll be able to sell in the future. A 10 minute audio, an email interview with somebody, a Video you just shot….an ebook to sell….produce a sales page for some type of SERVICE you offer. Anything, to get some confidence pumping through your veins, so that you have the drive to continue on.
A blog without income, is usually a soon to be dead blog. I’ve seen them before…..ummm….yeah. That’s all.
Whatup, Brandon?
DUDE. This is a POWERFUL POST.
“You are failing because you aren’t reaching out and partnering as much as you need to. Ask people for help.”
Wow. Okay – how about I ran a company for 9 years, that was a financial failure, before the above statement sunk in?
NINE YEARS.
(Some people are slow learners. LOL!)
Anyway, this is a really powerful post, that your readers would be well-served to re-read, and then take action on.
Incidentally, I’ve had GREAT SUCCESS in reaching out to big Internet Marketers. I don’t reach out to all the ones I’d like to work with … I select carefully, and I make my case for how I think I can add value to them.
I got 3 to say YES to accepting my free services…
I got 1 to say NOT NOW, but I’ll keep you in mind…
That’s not too bad, is it?
On the flip-side, I sent out 10 guest blog post offerings last week.
And got 1 response from the 10.
But that 1 is a significant contact.
If you figure that you need to get through TEN Nos to get to a Big YES, then you’ll realize that avoiding NOs is the same as avoiding your success.
By the way, Pat Flynn of SmartPassiveIncome.com has a BRILLIANT 100-word post yesterday, about the need for his readers to stop reading, and start taking action:

Thanks for the post, Brandon.

Bolaji O,
Thanks for the visit! Hey, you are kicking some swift tail…keep going…and don’t every stop! I’m finding it just gets easier and easier, day by day.
Pat’s post is awesome…who would have ever guess 1 small post would get such a tremendous response. That’s fantastic.
Ok…after reading the post…I need to go get back to taking action.

Hi Brandon,
I love Manifestos, so I hopped away for a moment to read Bolaji’s post. It provides a very interesting counterpoint to your own reach-out philosophy.
I mentioned my perspective on Bolaji’s blog: I am a lonely lumberjack, calling out to people who want to follow a path I’ve hacked through the forest.
It’s a bit of a blend of the ideas you two are sharing. For my part, I have a wonderful network for outsourcing but am slowly trying to morph that into more meaningful partnerships – where it makes sense. A rising tide and all that.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Cheers,
Mitch

Bolaji-O is awesome. I’ve recently started reading some of his stuff, and he has a great personality that shines through on his posts. Also, kind of like his tagline mentions, he is great at relating stories to educational insights. That is a fantastic way to connect with folks.
Take care Mitch!

Hey Brandon,
Thanks for the awesome post!
I think a blog without income is a blog to fail for many people. Those that can continue to persist without any payback are the ones that are really bound for greatness. Persistance is the strongest weapon you can have by your side in my opinion. You should work on building something that can produce for you tomorrow. It might take you awhile to build your own business from the ground up, that’s why you should find something your passionate about.
Then all the time that goes into it will be joyful. Your passion will take you along way!
Thanks again!
God bless,

William,
Thanks for stopping by.
Persistence….it is an absolute must. Stay focused, stay sober….and just get out there and start kicking butt.
No doubt…it takes hard work, but the rewards will be sweet.
