2011 Year in review with Mark Lyford

Brad Gosse — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 18:11:54 +0000

Every year I speak with my friend Mark Lyford about how our online businesses went over the last year and how we expect things to look going forward. These calls are hopefully eye opening and will help you learn some of the lessons we have learned along the way

This 45 min video talks about the ups and downs of running an online business. It’s not your typical internet marketing video full of claims. We are getting to the real shit here

All you have to do is share the vid on Facebook so your friends can see it too

Left his job 2 months ago, $15k profit this month

I wanted to share a success story with you today.

It’s music to my ears when someone tells me they have quit their day job and gone full time as an entrepreneur. About half my coaching clients are full time entrepreneurs and the other half are working towards full time status.

Paul is a smart guy. I won’t take credit for his success. He did the hard work, I just helped steer him based on my own experience

The funny thing is, to many people this is all made up bullshit, and nobody really makes money online. Paul knows different as many of us do

Why don’t you share your entrepreneur story below.

Have you managed to go full time yet?
Working on it?
What are you doing to get/stay full time?

The truth about internet marketing

Brad Gosse — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 15:12:14 +0000

Justin Popovic and I recently did a video that goes behind the scenes of our internet businesses.

It’s over an hour in length and is 100% free for you to watch. The goal was simple. To teach you the things that helped us accelerate our success. My hope is that you learn something that pushes you 6 months or more ahead of where you are today.

Feel free to leave your thoughts below

Do you really need a plan laid out for you?

Brad Gosse — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 15:54:37 +0000

I wanted to take a minute to talk about plans. Many people want every step laid out and defined before they walk out the front door. I prefer to stay fluid and be willing to see changes and trends, moving toward them and off the beaten path.

If you are someone who likes to stick to the plan I encourage you to watch this video and try another approach if it’s not working for you

The best entrepreneurs blaze their own trail. They lay the road that plans are built on top of. Do you want to follow or lead?

From Convict To Millionaire 1 Year Recap

Brad Gosse — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 23:26:30 +0000

So if you follow my blog you will know that I have been helping my old friend Mark Lyford get back to his previous millionaire status after a short time in prison.

Mark asked me to help him start from absolute zero and I loaned him his $20 seed money and helped him turn his existing software and knowledge into quick cash.

Since then Mark has hit some milestones. No he didn’t get to one million this year but he DID reach an impressive $300k and built a list of over 70,000 people accelerating his ability to earn more all the time.

I am not going to take credit for Marks success. A less motivated man may have quit, but Mark had the drive and determination to succeed. Was it easy? No. But we aren’t exactly winning olympic gold medals here. We work on our asses. Professional sitters.

Before I got into online marketing I delivered and sold furniture for my dad. I still see a day on my ass as an easy day, no matter how hard my brain works.

Watch the whole video to learn more.

Could you use the same kind of help that Mark received from me? You should really investigate my new Mastermind Group which is limited to a small group of serious individuals. Are you one of them?

Brad Gosse Will Be The Internet Marketing Keynote Speaker at Toronto Action Summit

Brad Gosse — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 18:24:33 +0000

The Toronto Action Summit has announced that the keynote speaker will be well-known Internet entrepreneur and marketing expert Brad Gosse.

The two-day event takes place Sat. and Sun., July 24 and 25, from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. each day. The summit will be held at 135 Carlingview Dr., Mississauga, M9W 57E at the Hotel Indigo Toronto Airport. Seating is limited for this special event. Those who wish to attend are advised to reserve their tickets now by visiting the Toronto Action Summit website at http://torontoactionsummit.com. Tickets are $97.

The Toronto Action Summit is a collaborative effort among Toronto area speakers and trainers. Founded and created by Andrew Skelly in May 2010, the event benefits fellow speakers and those who want to learn from their knowledge and expertise.

In 1996, Gosse began building websites for other people. He quickly realized that it would be more profitable to build his own sites that had revenue models built into them. He struck out in that direction in 1997 and never looked back.

“I am very pleased to be speaking at this event. I will be sharing some business insights that have helped me and will likely help you with your online business” said Gosse

Gosse takes a few select consulting clients each year and speaks on a variety of business and Internet-oriented topics. He’s considered one of the best in the business and is highly sought for his expertise by some of the most well known names in the business world. His talks, video blogs and podcasts have provided the impetus for business people to search for new and innovative ways to develop their marketing strategies.

He specializes in SEO, social media and marketing, delivering sessions with the use of multi-media technology. He has a keen understanding of the tools needed to run a successful online business, as well as how to switch your mindset to balance your goals.

The Freelancers Dilemma

Brad Gosse — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 00:50:51 +0000

Talking to freelancers you get a sense that they are missing their true calling. Some very talented people are trading all their time for money.

Unlearning

Do you have any habits, behavior or beliefs left over from older generations that may slow you down today? Justin and I discuss this in our latest video.

Being more authentic

Brad Gosse — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 16:17:19 +0000

Last week I met with Scott Stratten to get some advice on my speaking career. One of the things that he advised me to do, was to talk more about my history in the adult business. This led Justin and I to discuss being more authentic with your audience. One of the hardest things to do is be the same person on a video or on stage that you are in real life. The closer those two personalities get, the more authentic you become.

Justin struggles with something as simple as not changing his voice when the camera is on. Because he has training as a speaker and presenter, he immediately starts projecting his voice to the camera. The problem is that you end up sounding like a game show host in the process.

I am not immune to this either. In the beginning my first YouTube videos sounded like Billy Mays selling OxiClean. Thankfully I’ve gotten that out of my system.
