Giving Thanks.
As Thanksgiving comes to a close for another year, I hope that you have had a wonderful time with those closest to you, celebrating the relationships we cherish, and this land of opportunity we live in.
The earliest settlers of this fair country celebrated Thanksgiving in appreciation for a bountiful harvest. It’s safe to say that few of us have had the opportunity to experience the benediction of growing and tending our own crop (although some us are rather handy on a John Deere). The virtual world will live in, while a remarkable innovation, makes it difficult to see the tangible fruits of our labor. However, we still must not only appreciate each step, we should celebrate these moments, as they are the fabric of our existence.
It could be learning how to “tweet,” or shoot a rifle. It could be making a new friend on Facebook, picking your first domain name, getting that brush cleared, or mending the fence. Each is an example of progress, an accomplishment in and of itself. The scale matters not, it is simply the act of doing.
As we move into the holiday season let us not forget to be thankful for the myriad amount of things that we all too often take for granted. The 21st century has made basic necessities subjects of entitlement. Let us avoid this trap, and continue to appreciate all things. I mean come on, the Internet?…we are so spoiled.
All my best,

Las Vegas, NV: 4th Master Marketing Event
CarbonCopyPRO presented it’s 4th MasterMarketing Event at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas.
The event was the largest ever for the PRO community, with over 1400 members descending upon The Paris representing 32 countries around the globe, and 27 states here in North America. From the opening moments, to the closing awards, the energy was nothing short of kinetic. Members camped outside of the Paris ballroom as early as 6:45am sharing coffee and a kinship to be envied. The ballroom door was like a floodgate at 9am, as members raced to the front of the conference before being greeted by an amazing Japanese Drum band that commenced festivities with rapturous drum sequence.
The next generation of PRO was revealed by Co-Founders Jay Kubassek and Aaron Parkinson as they spoke of CarbonCopyPRO 3.0. The new innovations, resources, products and services were unveiled; including the much talked about debut of the all new InsideOut II and the BlackBOX, the second generation of the BiB. 
The most cutting edge of entrepreneurial, and marketing education was presented by the most accomplished of innovators and leaders in the business. Traffic Geyser’s very own Mike Koenigs, who was introduced via video by none other than the Tony Robbins, opened with a powerful lecture of his revolutionary internet video platform. Andrew Cass, Vice President of Marketing for CarbonCopyPRO provided a commanding step by step blueprint to six figure income. The Urban Cowgirl Cherie Yvette came out firing with all new training about killer keywords for Google and much much more.
The event culminated with an exciting awards ceremony where some familiar faces, as well as some rising stars took home some awesome prizes including; a 2009 7 Series BMW, 15″ and 17″MacBook PRO’s, as well as a $10,000 Luxury European RailTour!
If you have yet to experience the dynamic energy and unparalleled educational experience that is one of our live events, we sincerely hope you join us next time.

Clarity Through Panic
June ‘04. I had just quit my job selling mufflers at Midas. I went for 6 weeks without making a single dollar. It was one of those wonderful warm summer weekends you get in the Midwest… yet it was as though I couldn’t sleep, eat or breathe. The pit in my stomach grew daily, I was terrified. I took a leap of faith, quit a decent paying job, to pursue a full time career in online marketing and almost like a little bird who decides to jump out of the nest a just a couple days too early, only to find the ground is patiently waiting to reach up and smack him in the face.
I was sure I would have to go back to my job. Mentally, I was flailing. Questioning myself incessantly, feeling stupid for deciding to quit so soon. I was throwing every piece of crap I could conjure at the walls in hope of making something stick. Only to have it fall right back into my face and burn my eyes.
This dream, that I thought I was entitled to be fulfilling, was crumbling in front of me like concrete made without limestone. I felt a sense of pending doom and panic come over me, unlike anything I had ever (and now will never) experience. I found myself paralyzed with fear, crippled with debt, completely insolvent. Credit cards maxed out, unable to pay my rent, and out of money. Out of time.
It wasn’t long after the proverbial ton of bricks hit me. The solution MUST be inside me, hiding in some back corner of my subconscious mind, covered by the web of paralyzing fear and chatter. The solution was there from the beginning, patiently and simply waiting to be discovered. The whisper of the solution was drowned out by the static of my fear. I was days away from railroading myself back to my job, and my old defeated way of thinking. Back to a way of life where I was sitting victim and being defined by my circumstances.
I made the decision right then and there. The decision that I would refuse to revert into the old person who was powerless, and paralyzed by fear. I was going to create my own circumstances, regardless of the cost. As a reactive being, I prepared myself mentally to live in a cardboard box should that be required. But going back, admitting defeat, was no longer an option. I burned the boats. This was it.
If you know depression. I know it as well.
If you know panic, and every other fight and flight response. I know them better.
If you are broke. I was likely more broke.
If you are afraid, and know fear. I was just as terrified.
I decided to try to go inside, and retain the power that I knew was lying dormant in me. To take the initiative to recreate my circumstances the way I wanted them to be created. It became clear to me to persist, even just a little longer than I thought possible, a solution would appear. Not an indignant refusal to quit, but rather a calm knowing, that I could do it too. Not unlike the thousands of successful entrepreneurs that have proven the dream of free enterprise is attainable, if you are willing to pay the price to earn it.
Lose my house and get evicted? Big deal.
Suck it up and work a couple side jobs to pay the bills? Who cares.
Sell my couch to buy groceries? Not so bad.
Sleep less? I will sleep when I am dead.
Allow my ego to learn its place? Finally.
Now, I am not here to present to you a overly simplified recollection of the events. Or make this sound easy. All I know is that once I was able step OUT of my head, and start to truly trust myself, my innate ability (that we all share) to formulate systematic solutions for each of the problems I was facing, started to happen organically.
In the end, I didn’t have to go back to my job. I didn’t have to call any more friends or family for more bailout funds. I didn’t have to spend another dollar that I didn’t have on leads. Most importantly, I didn’t have to allow the fear to continue to suffocate me. It was clear the only person that I could trust, or needed was myself. The cacophonous clamor of my mind was drowning them out, Like an old tube radio, slightly off tune, the crackling static tuned into a clear message like a calming symphony.
Within 10 days of this weekend experience, now over five years ago, I was on the leader-board for top sales in my company. I was being recognized nationally and mentioned on calls. I was now an example of someone that “Could.”
I say this not to brag, but to rather fortify the notion that we ALL have what it takes inside. Somewhere along the journey we forget.
I choose to remember, and I choose to remember it well. I choose to remember that if I keep my head down, stay humble about my success, take responsibility for my failures, I can continue to contribute more to society than I take. Somehow, we all know inside that the secret to a happy and fulfilled life as an entrepreneur is really nothing more than this: Giving more than you take.
What are you giving? What are you taking? Who are you going to help get closer to their dreams today? Who are you going to challenge to become a more selfless person? Who are you going to inspire? How are you going to be the tide that raises all of the boats in YOUR harbor?
Figure out how to answer these questions, and you won’t know what to do with the abundance that begins to flow. To me, that’s ultimately all it took. Looking back it seems easy, but for everyone of you still trying to earn your way, there is no circumventing this lesson.
And if there was, it probably wouldn’t be honest and right. Madoff come to mind?
My best,
