In the past, I'd get up in the morning and turn on Netflix so I have some background noise to get me going. I thought taking in any type of information is better than not doing anything. As a result, I got hooked on to dramas and other meaningless, time-wasting shows. I'd skip the gym, I skip my "Miracle Morning" practices suggested by Hel Elrod. I signed up for the academy three days ago after listening to the popcast for 6 months, and I decided I would not do anything that doesn't contribute to my overall success going forward, and if I do, I need to do something to change it. This morning, just as my finger was on the TV remote, I turned around to my computer and canceled my Netflix account. I spent the morning making one chapter further in my IBM course. Now I feel free, from all the distraction. More importantly, I know Netflix will be one of the many that I would remove from my journey to freedom. It is not that Netflix is bad, but it is not a priority to my success. Thank you J&J. Master Dez

I'm a film director and I took a job 2 years ago after the kids were born as I needed some stable income - I hated it and was miserable even though it was a highly paid job. Whilst doing the job I listened whenever I could to podcasts and consumed as much info as I could to find a way to earn income that could allow me to choose the type of work I wanted to do, be with my kids , be location independent and give value to others. Long story short I left the job 4 months ago with the aim to match my salary within 6 months and take action and build an Internet business. Well the last 4 months have been a big journey - my partners mum and dad died, my dad was diagnosed with prostrate cancer, we had to have our dog put Down last week. Bit of a journey ! So there have been some lonely dark nights of the soul where I couldn't see if all the hard work was going to pay off. The online work is a slog but I'm pushing forward and commited to making it work ! I took IBMs advise and took what I had learned online over 2 years and started offering it to clients I knew - month 1 I had 1 client 1k a month for 1 day a week retainer and last night I secured my second . It's not the work I want to do BUT - it's paying to keep my family safe whilst I build online. It's small but it felt like a big win when we are so under pressure financially and emotionally. That's it ! - keep trucking crew LJ Hopkinson

I've been sitting on the idea of an online seminar in my niche for over a year now. After your podcast a few weeks ago, I made it happen. We open sales tomorrow. ... 14 sales in the first hour! Winning!!! Will keep you updated. ... Loving it! So far we're up to 33 and only one promotional email has gone out. ... Make that 34! ... A few weeks back on the podcast you interviewed Navid who puts on online conferences. I decided I needed to pull the trigger so to speak. Within a week I had the speakers booked, a week later the sales page was up and another week later now we have 40 people registered. Will every idea work? No. You'll only know when you take action. There is one thing I know about my internet business with 100% certainty. It is this: every idea I have never taken action has failed. Brad Brown www.cholesterolcongress.com
