Why do I want coaching with Alex Jeffreys? Well, I need some good coaching. And all the testimony on the Internet says, basically, “Alex is the best.” And I could certainly use the best.

I’ve been struggling with my network marketing online for months. At 80 years old, I can’t afford the time to just keep struggling without profitable results.

So, Alex, I really need your help.

John

Hey John,

Thanks for the comments mate – it’s always nice to have the first feedback roll in on the blog
and im sure most of the testimony about me online are a little hyped up? as im NOT the best online – i just try the best i can :-)

thanks again mate

Thanks for the eBook – some great info.

Over the past few years I, like so many ‘out there’ have spent a small fortune on courses from so many ‘guru’s’. What I’ve come to understand (better late than never) is that the bulk of these experts have never successfully marketed anything online other than ‘how to market online’ courses…nifty, eh?
I am so sceptical out there that I think the only way to succeed is to come up with your own idea/product/way of doing something easier etc, find as much FREE info on how to develop and market it and then take massive action.
However, I’m willing to be a guineapig for you all and to let Alex take me by the hand and show me it can be done – if it works and I do succeed I will be the biggest promoter of his services and I’ll shout it from the rooftops.

All the best – and lots of luck to you all

great comments … and thanks for taking the time,

the good news is … for the lucky people who get a spot in my coaching won’t be “guinepigs” as my coaching is tried and tested on hundreds of paying students in the past … so who ever joins will learn what it takes to become a success online.

great stuff

hey Vanessa,

the best thing to do is – work out how much money you need and focus on building a business that can reach that status,

you don’t need to become a guru for a better lifestyle, heck i can’t spend all the money i make already,

so know what you want before you go out to make something of yourself.

you’ll learn you can become a success ALOT quicker – as you don’t need to do as much

here to help you on your search for success

Hi Alex,

Just finished reading your new book, and will definately be going back to it again soon.
Not sure if I qualify to enter the competition as I’ve already been on your coaching. (I really like the sound of the new one though..)
That was a big turning point for me and my 1k list has become 6.3k since I’ve been really pushing ahead this month and have added 1.5k to my list and made $1,400 – I really need this to work for personal reasons. I will have a 10k list by June which is when I plan to go full time on IM, and I can feel things beginning to fall into place – but I think with further coaching I can progress further faster and that’s why I’m entering (if eligible)… coaching/mentoring is on ongoing process that everyone can benefit from whatever stage they are at…

Thanks

Keith

hey keith,

great to see you left a comment – and its always a pleasure meeting you around the UK
at these events we go to …

you keep rocking it – we both know list building is the main thing to focus on when making money online,

i know you will build a list of 10,000 before June – focus on value and the list grows QUICKER

talk soon and well done so far

Art Kunkin 03.30.10

Your eBook was valuable. I made many notes on stickies while reading and then transcribed those notes.

I am an experienced entrepreneur and, if your statistic that 90% of experienced entrepreneurs will succeed in starting new businesses is correct, I expect to succeed in my next project, particularly if I am in association with you. Over a period of ten years I operated five corporations simultaneously headed by one corporation running a weekly newspaper with 125,000 paid subscribers, employed 150 people in the five corporations, and eventually went bankrupt for three million dollars due to some mistakes I made in over-reaching and not knowing (then) how to handle a large cashflow and invest it properly. I have never purchased a coaching course because I have see through the ridiculous claims but have had mentors as a young man and would appreciate a good coach in marketing now.

My web site at http://www.immortality-is-possible.com says much about my background (not all) and explains how I have been researching for thirty years a project for extending one’s healthy life span. I am now proposing to set up a national organization with local chapters holding monthly discussions based on themes developed in a national newsletter that I am presently formulating in a weekly column I have been writing for the last year in a local weekly newspaper. I have already sold nearly 500 copies of an eBook I have written on how to accomplish real longevity and I am ready for real marketing. If Alex would be my mentor, I would also be glad to promote him “from the rooftops.” I want to emphasize that despite all my accomplishments I am looking for a new start. I am capable of being a good student, a good listener and a co-operative associate. Thank you.

Peter Davies 03.30.10

Thanks for the Gurus Nightmare ebook Alex – Just spent the last hour and a half going through it. Your MWA 2.0 Class taught me a lot last year to the point that there is a product in me now which I am putting together and will be based on the results of building a business following 2 different models in parallel with corresponding results.

Before that though I will be publishing a free ebook (which I have almost finished) along those lines particularly focussing on the sales funnel process how I see it with the intention of giving it away just to build my list – so I kind of see that as a sort of pre condition to the real product.

It basically follows 2 different models of list building with OTOs, Integration Marketing, JV List dumping etc done in totally different ways – 1 with daily ad swaps (short shelf live) the other content and marketing focussed with the odd offer/aff sales etc – with corresponding results.

To me a product is there to solve a problem and gives the solution, though as you say the Gurus often dont provide all the pieces to the puzzle.

One area that does interest me is the marketing campaign route that I havent got my head around yet (too busy building and doing tech things LOL). I do watch other good marketers looking for patterns but have yet to work out a process. So your Webinar next week will be very useful to me.

Speak Soon

Sandra 03.30.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my mentor because I really want to be a success and I want to do it online. I have been buying products since 1998. I don’t even know how many thousands of dollars I have spent. I don’t expect to get rich overnight, that was never the kinds of programs I was interested in. I just have never trusted many people online. Most of them are full of it. I have read about you and feel that you would be someone that I could trust. I am not interested in marketing BS products. I want to have products that I can be proud to put my name on. After all, if you lose your good name, that would be hard for me to live with. I think I could trust you to show me the way to finally stop being a consumer and finally reach some level of success. If I could finally be successful, I would most definitely help as many people as possible to be successful too. Please choose me.

Thank you,
Sandra

David Walker 03.30.10

Hey Alex,

Just got back from Cardiff City where I watched the Bluebirds battle for 20 minutes with a man down against Leicester to cling onto a 2-1 victory and I feel PUMPED… there’s no way I am going to sleep for hours yet!

Great ebook as always – you have it spot on. These times, they are a changing and for the better in my opinion. Most of what is sold online is crap. Idealistic nonsense, padded out with more filler than a teenager’s bra at the prom and maybe one or two reasonable ideas that work in principle but do not have the desired effect. Yet people still lap it up because it’s sold by some “big name” out there…

I haven’t bought an info “product” myself in years, what’s the point? You can get most of the info for free if you can be bothered to look, or you can pay anywhere up to $997 for a dressed up version with a fancy ecover. I took a gamble on yours and Rich Schefren’s coaching almost a year ago to give me the kick up the arse I needed and it appears to be paying off (ta very much) but as far as the next big “system” or fad goes, forget it. Been there. Done that.

You make a great point about people switching from being prospects to becoming marketers. Once you have a few principles in place then it’s so easy. It’s so easy I ignored it for YEARS thinking there must be more to it and I am glad I handed you my money so you could put me straight.

It’s been a long time coming and it’s true about old habits dying hard but I am getting there. I should hit a 10k list by the time I hit 30 in just over a month’s time and I am working on a robust sales funnel. I know I need to become stronger at “marketing” but I’ll keep learning and “swiping” the good stuff from the “gurus”.

They have to be good for something, right?

Speak soon.

David

Mark Secor 03.30.10

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because …” it has become very clear to me that staying as a prospect while investing my time perpetuating the “old school” ways of selling will not get me there. I have spent the last 8 months in the “cycle” of what I considered to be learning. Ouch! As I moved through the pages all I could say was, OMG he is talking about me! It really wasn’t as much a slap as a look in the mirror. What I saw was a person that had recently made a transition from buying fish to a person that started studying fishing. Still, studying, not fishing. HELP!! I am ready…………. mls

hey mark,

its fantastic that you saw a mirror of yourself all the way through the report,
the main thing is – lets make sure to change you now -

- now you know what you have been doing wrong.

its time for a new bread – the guru times are coming to an end

good luck

John Hicks 03.30.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I have been trying to succeed online for about 2 years and haven’t made the first dollar. Like your report says, I am one of those people that keep buying the latest thing from the gurus that don’t give all the details on how to succeed. I am recently laid off and really need a new source of income. I am hard working and can really put in the time to make this a successful venture.
Thank you for the opportunity.
John Hicks

Alex Reply:
March 31st, 2010 at 7:23 pm
hey john,

sorry to hear about you being laid off,

my dad was last week too … he was really upset untill i told him he can have a job with me.

ive never seen him so happy –

- he gets to stay home all day – watching football.

we’ll have to change that Vsoon and get him taking action
I just need to teach him from the ground up – like so many others.

good luck

Mark Kennedy 03.31.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I’ve spent the last 10 years on the internet doing all the wrong things. I have over 344,000 emails in my google account and almost as many in yahoo. Almost all are trying to sell me a piece of the internet marketing puzzle and information overload is a very real and very frustrating part of my life. My family thinks I’m insane and I’m beginning to believe them, after all, doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results is a form of insanity. I have no more money to spend and I’m almost at the point of completely giving up and throwing away my computer.
I know it’s possible to make money on line because I’ve made so many people money by buying their useless products.I’m so tired of being lied to and misled by people who really don’t give a crap about me that even now my eyes are flooding with tears. I don’t mean to sound like a wimp but it’s just so frustrating to have someone pretend to care about you till you spend your hard earned money, and then find out they don’t really care but just want to sell you another product. I truly hope that you are different but even if you are I truly don’t have the money to buy your course. I’m currently on unemployment and am over drawn on my bank account $800.00 and my paypal account is overdrawn $62.00. I really enjoyed reading your email because it seemed like you were writing about me and my negative experiences on the net trying to create some kind of an income. I’m I’m 57 years old and trying to find a new job in this market is very difficult. I’m sorry if it seems like I’m just feeling sorry for myself but I just don’t have the words to tell you how hopeless I feel. thanks for listening.

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I feel that profitable internet marketing skills will not only help me achieve my goals but I wholeheartedly believe that running an online business is one of the few opportunities available today that will allow almost anyone to make a living doing something they really love. My goal is to help people live well and not just get by (myself included).

I just have to learn how to get the message out and market.

Thanks for the eBook!

Judah 03.31.10

Why do I want coaching by Alex? I’m on the list of a lot of people you’ve coached and I like their style, and I want to learn from their source of coolness. I’ve read your free reports and would like more, and know that you have a lot to teach me.

I’m a quick study and manage to learn from people who don’t even plan to mentor me, and so I imagine just how much I can learn from someone who does.

I’d like a chance at your coaching because I’m determined to succeed online, I know I have what it takes, and all I need is the right push from someone who knows better to get me on the faster track, and I know I will succeed sooner or later, but I’d rather it be sooner than later, because real life just handed me a deadline I need to meet– and if you give me a hand, I’m going to give you a success story you’ll be proud of in years to come.

At any rate, thank you very much for what you’ve already taught, both from your reports and the people on whose lists I’m on.

Alex Reply:

Hey Alex,

I joined your coaching Students in Dec 2009,from a standing start.No experience!

I can now build sites(first built in 2 weeks)promote products with confidence and know that there is support with the other Students.

So really what I am saying is its not just the coaching its the whole set up.

You reveal information that I had searched the internet for 18 months to find.Mainly the “Plan”.

I urge anyone considering your coaching to give it serious consideration.Check out the success of the other Students as your proof.

Any potential Student should remember one important thing.No action,no gain.

Sir: I don’t have a website yet. After reading your ebook I know you are a good man and honest about helping others. Yes Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I want to learn and succeed to help my family. I am not asking for your money I only need is a good mentor to help me stand again. I am 60 years old and migrated here in the US 28 years ago but because I don’t have an education I just work in a factory. Last 2 years ago we lost our house by foreclosure. I put all my saving for that house about $150,000.00 and lost it. I have one son 19 years old second year in college, that I am supporting. I want to stand again. I dont have money right now. I want to keep my family I love them. I know how to work hard I just need is to start in the right direction and someone to mentor me. I would appreciate it if you could help me. Thank you very much.

Andy Michaels 03.31.10

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because …” I have the burning desire to be a successful online marketer and have dedicated many hours to the learning of the trade. You may know that I was a student in your MWA 2.0 course and that course gave me the impetus to get stuck into internet marketing in a new way.

From you I learnt how to plan, I got my blog up and running, I started to “market” myself and I even earned some dough! The best thing to come out of the coaching, however, was the great contacts that I made with other students who have helped me in many ways to push my business forward.

And with this new business and confidence in what I was doing I decided to take the plunge and quit my job. This is before I was making anything near what I need on a monthly basis. The coaching allowed me to see how things “could” be and I have decided to no longer settle for what I have but to push on and achieve more.

BUT without your help this process may take me many, many months while I fight with all the doubts and issues that come from such a decision. I have no option other than to make it so no matter what I will get to where I want to be but if you were prepared to consider me for the personal mentoring then I would be extremely grateful.

And on a lighter note, I thoroughly enjoyed your guru’s nightmare report, all 95 pages of it. phew. Talk about telling it how it is!!

Many Regards

Andy

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I have been running round in circles for a long time and going no where. Running is what I want to be doing but running with you would bring the end to the misery and frustration with the lack of guidence with what I am trying to do solo. I have been trying to do this for so long that my familiy are tired of it. I am fed up of being a prospect and I am now ready to take the gauntlet. I am ready to focus on your program and give it 200%. Up until this point in my life I have been a builder, creater and designer. Now I want to start to learn how to market and spend 4 hours minimum per day marketing my business and selling your products.

Ted 03.31.10

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because…” Reading through your eBook it felt as though you’ve been looking over my shoulder for the last 18 months. I’ve been bouncing from email to email, from one free offer to the next, hoping to find a nugget of truth and a way to implement all that I was “learning”. I think my “learning” is just a way of staying busy while I really try to figure out exactly what it is I should be doing. After reading gurus_nightmare I now know what my focus should be, but still feel as though I will need mentoring. I have the desire to be successful online, but need guidance when the distractions begin to take over my Inbox. Alex, I need your help so I can be successful in online marketing, and once I’m successful, to pass on my knowledge so I can help others achieve success as well.

Maya 03.31.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I KNOW that having a personal coach is what I need to achieve my dream of becoming a full time Internet marketer. Over the past year online, I have learned a lot (setting up blogs, driving traffic, article marketing…). After reading your e-book I realize that I still don’t know the most important element which is how to design and implement profitable marketing campaigns. I do believe in creating value and providing excellent products and services. I have been able to achieve most of my goals through sheer determination but this time I recognize that I would also need support and guidance. I would be thrilled to be mentored by someone like you who is generous and caring enough to give away a 96-pages e-book full of information that can change someone’s life. I do want to be mentored by someone who is self-confident because of his successes but humble enough and genuine enough to let people see his weakness (not being a good speller, LOL). I am aware of the exceptional opportunity I have here to get a chance at working with you. I believe in the Law of Attraction and it’s not an accident that my path is crossing yours. I am already happy and grateful to be one of your student.

Mark 03.31.10

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because…” I can follow instructions? Kidding aside, I’m not sure I want you to build my business for me. By that I mean you could hand me your business, but what good would it be if I didn’t build it and thus know how to run it? I want you to be my personal mentor because I’ve found myself through trial and tribulation (and significant dinero) that, hands down, marketing is the answer. I’ve had some small successes which is great for the moral, but I need to take this to the next level. I firmly believe you’re capable of making this happen, who knows… Once you unleash a marketing beast, it may be to arm it with your product.

Thanks for part 3 of the Trilogy, as it should be required reading.

Cheers (in another 45 days)

i was GUTTED – but my pledge was not to drink a drop for 90 days while i launch

so i cracked open a beer to celebrate the launch of the report yesterday :)

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I am soooooo close to breaking through to the next level. If I had someone to “show me the ropes” then I know I would succeed online.

You are a down to earth guy and you tell it like it is. I really like your approach and I try to do the same with my customers, over deliver. I have the basics of marketing down and I feel if you were to coach me then I could reach the next level and start helping more and more people succeed online, including myself.

You will not be disappointed if you were to coach me and I believe that I would make a great success story.

If at all possible, I would greatly appreciate if you could look at my business model and let me know what you think. I would love any tips you could give me to take my business to the next level.

Here is the squeeze page I drive all of my traffic to:

http://internet-business-world.com/8stepsebook.html

I then offer them an OTO for $15.

If they purchase that OTO, I offer an upsell.

If they simply sign up then my autoresponder emails them their report they requested and they are in the prospects funnel.

I have alot of the basics down and I think with your coaching I could get all the pieces in line and really start “running a business” as you say.

Thanks so much for the awesome report!

Gary Simpson 03.31.10

Gangsta,

I’m still laughing at all the “horses head” stuff. I think you might have me and Parkesy to thank for that… um… “interesting” tagline.

I’m also smirking about David “The Food Critic” Walker’s comment: “…padded out with more filler than a teenager’s bra at the prom…” I’m assuming you are speaking of females there Mr Gourmet.

And John Rollow – the first guy here is 80 years old! Very impressive mate. You are embracing internet technology. I salute you sir.

Good e-book AJ. Very entertaining. I can almost hear a few “goo-roos” going: “Groooooooan.” Maybe YOU better watch out for that horse’s head!

Finally, I must have “infected” you in Vegas with all that swearing. LOL!

Gustaf 03.31.10

Couldn’t sleep so just finished reading “Guru’s Nightmare”, even tho it’s 4 am …
Spot on – I’ve bought and learned a lot, but am stuck in the circle of forever learning
more stuff. Build websites, create products, techie stuff – I know it!
But I don’t know marketing. Yet.

What you’re saying really makes sense, we all want to be seen and respected as a person,
not just as a “credit card”. I will thin kdeep and hard about what you say, and start applying
your philosophy in my own niches.

All the best

Gustaf

hey gustaf,

thats so true – its people who order no credit cards – so treat people well and they will be happy to spend there money with you … it makes so much sence – sounds so simple

but so many people miss the boat on this.

just look at my brand – Marketing With YOU – not to you …

i figured this out in 2008

all the best

Jerry Cooper 03.31.10

Hello Alex,

I’ve heard it said that a wise man doesn’t need advice, and a fool won’t take it. But I’m neither wise enough nor foolish enough not to listen. I’m not sure what that makes me? Maybe a guru’s nightmare? I have a business plan that I’m working on (such as it is), but it’s slow going. I’ve been at this for about 8 months, and have made some small change, but I can see that I’ve got a long way to go to be as good at this as I’d like to be. I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity to learn from you Alex. I have come to appreciate that having a mentor, or someone to call on when I have a problem could be a huge benefit. Thanks for the chance.

Jerry

John G. Seay 03.31.10

Hello Alex,

The most important reasons why I’m believing Almighty God that you will select me as one of the five to be personally Coached by you is is as follows: (1) I have a profound desire to be successful in Internet Marketing and Affiliate Marketing within the next twelve months; (2) I’ve spent about $20,000 buying eBooks and various courses on the Internet with only a little success, and I think it’s time; (3) I’m 73 years old and would like to leave a legacy for my children and grandchildren within the next two years before I check out of here, though I’m currently in pretty good health. I want to financially Bless them, and leave them each with enough to start their own business or expand their existing business, or to just have a decent start in life; (4) Just as important as it is for my desire to give a financial boost to my children and grandchildren, I have, and have had for years, a deep desire to help people who are trying desperately to make money on the Internet, and offline in business, or just really trying to make it in life, but need a helping hand; (5) I just want to be an Inspiration and an example to mankind both young, and old to be the best person they can be! Then I can say to myself that I contributed and gave back to the community, because it is the right thing to do. To sum it all up, I want to teach men and women how to “fish” so that they will never have to worry about from where the next fish is going to come.

Alex Reply:
March 31st, 2010 at 7:56 pm

Sandy Ostroff 03.31.10

Hey Alex:
This new report really rocks! The reason I want you to coach me and be my mentor now is because you are the only one who has repeatedly given me real information. I wish I knew just how valuable it was when I was in your coaching class! I was a complete newbie when I started your course and didn’t realize how spot on the info was at the time. Ever since, I’ve been grabbing for the shiny crap that hits my email daily trying to get going the easy way. If I’d spent the time learning marketing instead, I’d be way ahead by now!
In this report you’ve told me what I should have known all along. I’m spending the rest of the week going back over the modules in Alex 2.0 with a new point of view and get my business going and quit bitching about the bad economy and how it used to be in the good old days when all I had to do was create a great illustration or photo and make tons of cash from my clients. I forgot what it took to get those clients to be repeat customers. I always delivered more than they expected! However, I never had to do marketing since I had reps selling for me full time. Now it’s time for me to market instead of just creating great content. Also, I will not be a prospect anymore! You are right… Marketing is what I need to know. Thanks for the great content as always, Sandy.

Alex Reply:

Stu 03.31.10

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because …”
I need your personal imput to get me somewhere different from where i am now. I have been doing training, but how much do you think I have made ? Yep, right on the button $0.00, not a thing, nada, and its 9 months down the track. So it’s getting frustrating, embarrassing, but it’s not to the extent “Demi” needs to save me. Choose me to be one of the fabulous five, and you’ll have the glowing recommendations I’m sure.
Thanks,
Stu.

March 31st, 2010 at 8:34 pm

JeffreyA 03.31.10

Hi Alex – your eBook came to me by way of Gary Simpson – thanks to Gary for the link… and thanks to you for a great read! I enjoyed the sections on marketing and I know I have a lot to learn there!

I would been keen as mustard to have you as a my Coach for a number of reasons…

#1 – I have been stumbling around on the IM track for sometime now and I really just need someone to show me some light… I have found it very difficult to find a mentor… an actual mentor who is just not trying to hock me another product and run.

#2 – I really want to ramp things up. I am in my early thirties and hungry to learn. I have put in place some strategies but have yet to see any concrete results… I have a great understanding of technology with a degree in Information Technology and my full time job being that of a software developer…. I want to break out of it and go big in IM and need a mentor to help me find my way!

#3 – Finally… My name is Jeffrey… your last name is Jeffreys … I am practically your relation! What better reason is there than that!!!

Ok thanks again Alex for the great read and I am looking forward to seeing what comes from you in 2010 and hopefully seeing some positive growth from my end in 2010 too!

Cheers!

Jeffrey

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because the lives of many who trust me are in my care. I was trained in the elements of marketing and have was involved in the creation of annual reports and numerous sales brochures including printing and design.

There is no doubt in my mind that for the first time in the history of marketing, one individual can make a giant impact in selling. We have the largest senior market (baby-boomers) that have ever existed. With that realization and that the marketing industry has a whole new ball game in the way it operates, I know I need your expertise to achieve my goals of helping those many who have relied on me.

I sincerely hope we can talk soon and discuss many other matters that I am not at liberty to open here. You can reach me on SKYPE at william.Davis7776 or at the land line at:
8185471467.

Thank you for considering me for the free training. I would gladly pay for it, but at 73 years along on this big blue marble hung in space, my cash position limits me greatly. That can change, but I really would appreciate the opportunity to work with you. You can be assured that I will put my full effort and any number of hours required to master the exciting field of Internet Marketing. You also can be assured that I will use that knowledge to help many others!

Russell 03.31.10

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because …”

… my motivation is different. Like everyone else here I have been through the wringer of falseness in this business, but I continue to perservere because I don’t want one orphan left unfed. (Check the link if you wish to know more.) Did you know that for $50,000 you can build a medical clinic in Myanmar(Burma) from the ground up? I didn’t… but when I found out that it could be done, I started trying to raise enough to build a second one.

Since then, it hasn’t worked out as I had expected. I will work harder than other people because I believe lives depend on a positive outcome.

When all is said and done, would you rather have given someone the ability to own a fancy car, or build a medical center for some of the poorest children on Earth?

If you pick me, I will do what it takes.

Russell…

Gavin 03.31.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because you nailed it with your inciteful report and frankly you changed my mindset. Marketing is the key and you have made me now look at things differently. Summarising my top 3 key takeaways:

1. Stop being a prospect and in order to make money online, you need to become a marketer first
2. Be transparent in your marketing and JUST BE YOU
3. Study the product owners, not the products

and that’s why I want to study you

Thanks

understand that the marketing takes work upfront before getting paid

of money.

Mike 03.31.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I’m a clean slate. I do not have any failures or bad habits to untrain.

I would imagine that a Mentor would get great pleasure from un-training and re-training a student to success, but I also imagine the pure fun a Mentor would have in training me, who has a clean slate, from start to finish.

I wouldn’t have a heart felt story of rags to riches with your Mentoring so I probably wouldn’t be a flagship testimonial for you, but I would be a great 2nd place example of the results your Mentoring produces on someone who is basically brand new (I know the technical side of creating a website).

I have a strong work ethic, I’m a quick study and I have all the necessary time available to me in order to start whenever you’re ready. Let’s do it!

Van Ba Thiem 03.31.10

Hi Alex,
Thank you for the Gurus Nightmare e-book. It’s took me almost a day to read all your stuffs and i have discovered a lots of things that am really don’t know. Just briefly about myself before am going to further anymore saying. I am , a 61 years old, English as my 2nd language, am here in Australia for 32 years now, i used to work in the Mail Centre for nearly 19 years, took redundancy in 2000, started a Tobacconist shop for about 10 years ,made no $ at all rather than huge lost, by 4/09 i quit it, and try to start up something else. Again, i wasn’t succeed in another Car styling business, i was in this business with my partner, in 4 months i did not make any $ at all rather than every day 9-5 come to work and try to keep the business survive. Fed up with that, in10/09 i quit again and stay home , try to work out what field that i might get in to earn just enough $ money to survive. I realize that i still have a big mortgage, am too old to go and get a job with someone,and after 10 years working for myself i’ve just cannot afford to work under other people control anyway; i don’t have much $ money left to start another small business i.g convenience store, corner shop, or service stationshop…and in fact the last 11 months while i am not working at all, i don’t get on the dole but survive myself by the help of my daughter and also use my credit card for personal spending with the hope that i will soon find something to do and repay what i owed. It’s real risky business but i have no choice !! So am thinking of the IM which maybe cost less to enter . In 10/09 i started to opt in a few email lists, and i did go from one to another e-book,programs ..that i bought online,so far none of them work! i maybe not smart enough, or be scammed. Most of these programs , not as said in the sale letter and once i bought it, get stuck , cannot get help enough, or even nothing help at all after i paid the $. So far in 6 months since i try IM, i have lost thousand of dollars and am just about to give up completely after really hard thinking during the last couple days. I realize that in order to be succeed on IM i need a mentor ,a coaching, but that seem out of my hand or affordable when i had a chance to discuss this with some of the Gurus, it costs ten of thousand $ for 6 months training, with the result i don’t know if it work!! Today, i got up early as usual, my 1st thing is get on my computer to real all the emails marketing, it’s getting very big now, and i just cannot finish reading them all in a day, so i thought i’d better just delete a lot and start unsuscribe all of them and Quit altogether, i will try to go to work for someone else, i have no choice now, though i still love so much about the working at home life and the IM.It’s my passionate!! Anyway, your email was the 1st one that hit my eyes coz of the subject that have attracted me, you know what i mean when you keep failure from one to another program, so you just want to see what the hell is the Gurus nightmares, i asked myself why not what the Newbies nightmares ? so let read it to see what they talk about? Really it attract my curious, also you have reveal lots of thing that i don’t know …so i left all other work aside all day just to finish your e-book, and finally, i made it by 6pm. Well , it’s good reading, and learning, actually i did learn quite a lot from this e-book and i mean to review it asap. I may give it a try again for the last time , if it doesn’t work then i will quit later, i can only hope, and if i don’t try i will never know ! I don’t expect that i will make a fortune on IM, what i hope for is making few Ks a month just enough to make me survive, and the very 1st thing is to make my 1st sale on IM. So am writing this email to you as my last hope, not because i want you to give me a your business,coz am winning the competition, it’s so hard and it’s not in my mind. The only thing i hope is as i read through your e-book, i ‘ve just need a mentor and a coaching to guide me till i can do it myself. Though am in really desperate situation, i don’t want to surrender to it as another failure in business, i got to try again and again.!!
Once again, i thank you for sharing your experiences on the IM to me through your e-book and wishing you & family all the best .

igor Griffiths 03.31.10

Thanks Alex, at every tbreak on my night shift I was bombarded by messages from people telling me that I had to read this report, the question was whos should I read? I picked Marcus Passey, as I know he is one of your students and I have watched his video tour of his house with all the washing so I know he is a real person.

Anyway as I opened your report, my heart sank, 95 pages! Alex it was 08:30 and I should be in bed 8am, but as it was you I stuck with it, I had to read it slowly as I was too tired to speed read.

Of course the point of the comment is that I managed to read all the article, its now 10am and I have to be up at 3pm to get ready for my next shift, and I really need direction. My first website has a copyright date of 2006, whch means that it has been 4 years filling my hard drive with nonsense and creating various web sites ( I was going to call them sales sites but as they have not made a sale that would be a lie).

Well what do I hope you can help me with is really the courage to take down all of my junk sites and start again, I have an accountancy blog, I am not an accountant, but it seemed a good idea at the time, there is of course several affiliate sites lying quietly undisturbed on someones server somewhere and then there is the new blog which awaits my first step of success, thanks goes to Marcus for that idea.

So Alex the bottom line is that I am tired of failing online and living on the edge of bankruptcy. I was laid off in January after 1 hours notice and had no money for 4 weeks. Now I am living in a rented room 300 miles away from my family because I have to pay the bills and this contract could finish at any time, this is not the comfortable life that my mates and I said we wanted when I was at college. By my efforts and your help I shall succeed, by the way do you remember the cartoon masters of the universe? I must be tired as when I wrote that last sentence, all I had ringing inside my head was “By the power of Greyskull…..I shall succeed” Anyway I am off to bed, speak soon.

Michael Ottman 03.31.10

Hey Alex, I stayed up till 4:30am just to read the report. It was the most power packed coaching book I’ve ever read. I have already begun the task of taking notes on how I’m being marketed to and already know the value you give as a mentor.

Thanks a million for helping me to quit my full time job last year and take the necessary steps to be an active marketer. I’ve started online by using a skill but am now moving towards marketing my business instead of working in it.

I look forward to studying your tactics and methods yet again so I can become great like you. Meeting you last year was great and just to see a normal guy making it big gives me great hopes and the courage to move forward in my own learning.

I’ve made sure to help others as I’ve been helped and it feels good. Everyone needs you coaching cause there’s nowhere to go but up from here!

Chris 03.31.10

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because …” I am running, but round and round in circles. I know the market I can serve, I have the practical experience (20 years) to help them and I have the concept and structure for a great product for them.

But … I am banging my head to find ways to “find them”, test titles & topics to make sure the marketing will be effective. Whenever I start (again) to create the hook product my own reservations about it being “appropriately marketed” get in the way and progress grinds to a halt.

I don’t need (or want) selling on the art-of-the-possible: I want an experienced mentor who will help me break through my own barrier. As the saying goes “when the student is ready the tutor will appear”. Well the timing of your Report fits that to a tee. This student is not only ready, he thinks he’s found the right tutor. I hope I’m right.

What’s even more appealing about you and your approach is that you’re UK based (as am I). It’s about time the “UK team” rose to the top of the marketing world. I want to join you there, and I’m ready. Life’s too short to keep going round in circles.

Andy Palmer 03.31.10

Hi Alex,

Wow it’s like you have been listening to my conversations with the girlfriend!

I loved the fact that you are so right about newbies creating ‘How to be rich’ products but knowing nothing about making money.

Why should you pick me to mentor?

1) I am hard working – I can give you a list of all the sites I have created over the years, showing the sweat and tears.

2) I am willing to learn – Just recently I have completed my financial studies exams, now if you have ever tried to read those books you will understand the dedication that is needed. They are pretty hard going!

3) I am in for the long game – I don’t want to earn £100,000 per month (yet…) Show me how to make £1000 ethically, with a sound plan and I will keep working

4) I will try anything – I made it to the bbc website after trying to sell myself on eBay. Surely you could mould this spark of craziness to great things?

Anyway thanks for reading and fingers (arms, toes and eyes too) crossed that you pick me.

Hey Regan,

use your pain as the driving force to move forward. – i remember when i quit my job
i had to work day and night to make this internet stuff work,

but i knew i wasnt going back so i had to push forward.

what an exciting story you have to share with the world

P. Eric Willms 03.31.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I have learned many things. And what these many things have taught me is that there is a tremendous amount of things that I don’t know. Oh to be sure I’ve made a sale here and there, but that’s it. For various physical reasons both mine and my wife’s working career looks like it’s coming to an end. I need to ramp up the Internet income to cover the losses that are coming and in some sense here already. One of the things that I have learned in my life is that if you want to be successful you have to hang around with successful people. You are a success, and I would like to hang around with you so that I can learn this internet business properly,and make some real, liveable money at it.

Lesley Bello 03.31.10

Yes, Alex, I want you to be my personal mentor because I am that person with an inbox full of crap sent daily. I spend so long going through emails I don’t get much time to implement anything. I am like a butterfly flitting from one offer to the other, and I don’t think that is what is meant by Butterfly Marketing. I totally accept that I need a mentor but I too have been the victim of the call-centre mentor. Oh and they were in America and could never call me on UK time (they had so many other clients). I could definitely write a book about internet scams and bad value for money. But the real tragedy is the waste of time. I am not stupid but I have been paralysed by fear engendered by gurus giving me some, but not all parts of the story. Endless videos, endless crap, endless waste of my time. And you begin to feel so inadequate, a total loser.

I need you to be my personal mentor. Who else is there?

Thanks

Lesley

David Findlay 03.31.10

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because …”
You are the only person to provide value and offer me a real chance to stop running around like a headless chicken looking for the starting point.

I strongly indentify with your description of spending time reading emails and allowing myself to be sucked into dodgy schemes,when know I should instead be focusing on marketing.

With literally hundreds (some days 1000+) of emails with offers of easy money with blantly flawed schemes (or should I say scams) coming to my inbox daily.

Most show little or no respect for myself or my friends on my list and while hyping “bonus” tools offer no real marketing help beyond upselling you to another “how to” ebook. I have to admit to being sucked into a few of these.

I am committed to establishing a business to provide a comfortable retirement

Long standing bricks and mortar businesses thrive through building a reputation for value for money and honest trading so e business is no exception.

Thanks for Gurus Nightmare, I already learnt a lot.

Mrs Anita Bose 03.31.10

Hello Alex, I read your e book from start to finish and I am very impressed with the style of your writing. I receive plenty of downloads through my email. Normally I ignore them, but sometime when I open them and start reading the contents, after the first few lines I lose interest and move on. In your case I was totally gripped and read copulsively. Last year I attended Andrew Reynold’s Cash on Demant boot camp seminar, and subscribed to Tom Hua’s teaching course. Having read your article, I realise how superfluous the courses were.I am hoping to launch a website soon. With that intention, I would be travelling to India soon to meet some outsourcers and to learn more about that industry. In this daunting task it would be marvelous and hugely comforting to have your wise and experienced guidance. I am convinced that if I can market my product wisely, success wouldnt be impossible. I may not have experience in that partcular field, but I am prepared to put in the hard work and follow the wise sermons of real Gurus. I found your instructions most logical and I suppose doable with proper guidance. Thank you so much. Anita.

I would love to have you as a mentor because you have an enviable record of successful ‘clean’ marketing. People who succede by taking advantage of others weaknesses are despicable. You also reinforce the paradigm that the young and those new to a field are those who make the greatest discoveries, In your case you have turned marketing on its head.
Just now I caught sight of the date of one of my downloads, 2006! That is at least as long as I have been trying to get focused. I even have Cory Rudl’s 2 volumes in mint condition from an earlier false start.

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because You mention that “you have to fail to be a success” I highly fit this criteria. I have been in the internet marketing wild wild west without even knowing it and now is the time to get out and join the new frontier. Maybe if the wife sees some profit coming in and can see that I’m offering value to people and she sees that I have stopped spending time with the so called Guru’s and there Internet Selling blueprints, and that I am going in the right direction with Internet Marketing, I might be allowed back on the computer with her blessing. As you mentioned “One day I started with nothing” It gives me hope that with mentoring I can get out of the information overload trap and move forward into a new frontier. That is why I would love to have you as my mentor.
Cheers

Thank you for the Gurus Nightmare. I’m new to internet marketing busines. Recently became unemployed and have been looking to start an online business for some time to brake away from the rat race. Unfortunately, I loss my job before I could learn how to ran a sucessful internet business. I am hoping to find an experienced Guru, that I can learn from. My plan is to become finanically independent so I can help my daughter and the grandchildren so they can be set for the future and to pass on my knowledge that I have been taught to the next persons who want to have their own internet business. I have a lot to learn and am willing to learn. I have done a lot of research but how do you know who will guide in the right direction if you know no one in the business? You try to get to know the people who are successful.

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because …”

I feel with come from the same kind of Schooling background. But with the same ethics! although i left in the late 70s with the same exam status!

(Just out of interest does your wife sit over your shoulder saying “its not spelt like that”) Thank god for spell checker i say!

However, i have just folded my business of just over 2 years which cost me £20,000 to buy into in Dec 2008 (and i am still paying for it with 2 loans!) it was in the energy saving market
and to be fair a lot of people from around the World bought into it and lost their money a lot quicker than me as i did / do have a marketing background and did manage a couple of sales totaling about 11K which helped me stay afloat longer than most.

Anyway what with the downturn in the market over the past 18 months companies were more interested in paying their staff rather than purchasing our energy saving products!
so i had to make a choice and i did about a month ago now.

I do like your idea of providing a hand built business for me (to be your next success)
But doesn’t that negate the whole purpose of your report? I would much rather you taught me how so i can use your teachings then go and make my own success (or am i missing something?)

“its OK you catching the fish so i get to eat……but i would rather you teach me to fish so I can catch the fish and feed my self and my family! surely that would be more of a success for you !

I believe like you, that as you stated in your report that the BIG internet tree is being shook right now and all the old fruit (old gurus!) are falling to the ground leaving the new ripe fruit like yourself, Lee mac, Adam and Jit, and Dean Holland , to go forward into the new way of I.M. Based on Value, fairness and ethical teachings and i think like me that you believe that “a rising tied raises all ships”

As appose to “Pull the ladder up jack and sod the rest” (the old I.M. way)

As for why should i be one one of the lucky 5. Well to be fair i am not sure why really as there will be many many more people who have posted on here who are Older than me who need a chance, who are more in debt then me who need a chance? Well I guess Alex that everyone has their own reasons and all of them perfectly valid.

So why pick? me well to be fair Alex i cant say! as only you know what your criteria is and to what you are looking for. and if what your looking for is written above then you will choose me. and if it’s not then you wont !

P.S Alex. if i am not the right fit and i am not chosen could you put a good word in for me with Dean Holland (i really like his style )

“Have the best day you can have Alex……its your choice”

Trev 03.31.10

G’day Alex,
Trev here from Australia,what abook,what an inspiration.
Do I need you to be my mentor….Hell yeah!!!
Ive been online for a couple of years now and made a few $100 but spent heaps more.
I am or should say was a successful off line businessman,until i had abreakdown about 5 yrs ago.(not trying to get the sympathy vote lol).
About 2 yrs ago i thought i could take my experience online and make a go of it.
At the time i didnt even know how to send an email.
Any how I was appaulled at some of the stuff i saw going on…would get a off line business shut down Quick.
Ive tried aff mktg,bought this and that and everything else.and got completely frustrated.
I realized all the things I needed to do and as you say in TGN i just got more and more to do.
Spinning my wheels big time….b..y.tyres are down to the steel.
So what im doing now is this.
I rent a safe list script….I offer Free Platinum for 1st 1000 plus bonus’s….26 videos on how to set up a IM business by Chris Farrell and Instant video maker at the moment.
Thats 1 level down from the top.
I ve noted on the front page that i am not only there to run a safe list but to help all members
succeed in thier endeavours by offering Free products as time goes by or if i see something I think will help them.
Its working got 70 + in under 2 weeks,Without advertising properly.
I am hopeless at tech stuff …see couldnt send an email 2 yrs ago.
So ive got someone to set up a whole system for me,which i havent got yet.
Any way why do i need a Mentor such as Your self.
So I can learn how to market,No More No Less.I just want to Learn and if everything I have done so far is wrong or right,I will learn from it .
And go on learning from you ,whether Im one of the 5 or not.
BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT I WILL SUCCEED!!!.
My own personnel saying is…If you’ve got a problem but you can fix it,then you dont have a problem at all.
Dont know how this has got to big print so i ve got no idea how to reduce it lol.
so its going to stay this way.

Do I Need a Mentor…..You betcha!!! …Thats a BIG YES

Copulator………………………………………………………………….thats SeeYou Later.

Yes Alex I want you to be my person mentor because: Dear Alex I am posting this comment basically feeling that you may not get to read this, but wanted to do it anyway because if you did read it or get to, you sound like someone who would listen. I am 53 yrs old and have nothing in my life. My last job was working for H&R Block for 19 yrs. I had to leave 5 yrs ago because of my heath and I wasn’t getting, raises wasn’t an option any more. I am now on welfare disability and make $537 per month to live on. Sometime I have to go to the food bank in order to pay my bills. I started looking for something on the internet about 5 months ago for some kind of system to help me make extra money. When I say that I’m broke on the 2nd of the month I mean I am broke not even enough to buy a chocolate bar. If it wasn’t for my sister sometime. I don’t know what I would do. Anyway back to trying to find something on the internet. I couldn’t buy any systems and hell I can’t afford a domain name or even hosting. So I started downloading free reports and products, and I’m still doing it and I haven’t even gotten to the stuff I already have and I don’t know why. It’s like I can’t stop. Talk about your information overload. When they say they don’t give my email to anyone that’s not true because I get people I don’t even know. Anyway sorry for the long story, I’m in so much pain right now from being on the computer so much lately. So if you could help someone like me with no money, or job for free then you would be my guardian angle. Thank you for Listening. Sandra Bailey

Steve Walker 03.31.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because since 1998 I’ve been too busy earning a living on-line to make any real money. I was very successful at the outset by concentrating on SEO but I allowed others to persuade me to pour money down the BLACK HOLE of advertising and exhibitions, to no avail! I have been running on a treadmill getting nowhere and sometimes going backwards when I got tired. You seem to have your finger on the pulse and I know that everything you’ve written in the Gurus Nightmare is true (it took me all day to read it so well done for keeping my attention) and I need to partner up and outsource instead of doing everything myself. HELP!

Hi Alex, Chuck Madere Here:

I started reading last night and finished it after I woke up this morning. Everything you wrote about is true and most of us know this. However with most people they will continue doing the wrong thing until they have a breakdown or their money completely dries up. Most end in separation or worst.

Sid Moore 03.31.10

Personally, I am a old retired family man that attended a seminar locally selling the idea of making money online to supplement the family income. Later I learned it was mostly false information. However, not being one to quit after a loss, I continued through good money after bad. All the while knowing that if it could be done, I could do it.

You see I had been fairly successful while in my working years and now I wanted to be able to contribute back to my community and to my church. This is difficult to say the least when you are retired and on a fixed income.

After four and a half years or so and spending a considerable amount of money with no results to date, I was introduced to your free report. I could not at this point invest the amount that is required to enroll in a seminar of the quality and price you discuss in the report. I would indeed appreciate the opportunity to be mentored by one such as yourself, one that has knows how it is done, not just saying they know how to do it.

Thanks for reading my ramble.

Tony Rogan 03.31.10

Hi Alex At last the Truth is here…. Fantastic Book AJ well done for putting it all out there for everyone to read but it is strange even though you have spelled it out over and over people still buy all this crap.

What is it about the gurus and there emotional triggers that just make you feel that this is the one I must have It NOW and the CC comes out,I know as I got sucked into this and thought yes this is it only to find next day something else was in my mail box.

So thanks to you I had to stop and sit back and learn so I cancelled all that crap mail coming into my inbox as it is very infectious to say the least,I did attend your first course coaching and learned loads but still have not cracked the nut and feel I have let you and me down but I am still willing to learn and would love to be picked as one of the five.

Started building a new site recently in a different niche and am enjoying but it takes time and money so look forward to seeing you again and getting my brain retuned.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the Guru Nightmare e-book.

I’ve been marketing online for almost 2 years and my results have been negligible in my opinion. One of my main entry point sites is http://MyWA.ca which is a site promoting the Canadian Wealthy Affiliate University.

If you do a search for wealthy affiliate at google.com in the USA my site doesn’t even show up.

However if you do a search for wealthy affiliate at google.ca in Canada for pages in Canada I have the number 2 or 3 listing.

I need to learn why this is and how I can remedy it.

Mark Cercone 03.31.10

Hi Alex,

I just completed reading the Guru’s Nightmare. I have to admit the information was painful to read at times as I have been one of those opportunity seekers that has been searching for someone to trust and only buying useless information over and over and over.

I would very much like to be considered for one of your 5 mentorship slots you will be choosing on April 7, 2010. I was laid off in December of 2009 and told myself i was never going back to work for someone else. I have been struggling quite a bit. I have tried many different opportunities but as you just informed me all i have been doing is chasing people away trying to sell them my new program and not really marketing to anyone.

I am hurting financially as living off of unemployment is very difficult. My car was repo’d on March 26th, my utilities have been shut off since March 28th and when i get my next unemployment check on April 5th i need to decide if i turn the water back on or pay my rent.

I am really as low as i want to be in my life but also know i can go lower. I may be homeless in a month. I believe I have what it takes to learn how to market and really have just been looking for somoene to trust. I can tell you that your Guru’s Nitemare explained me over and over again. I would think I found a person to trust but only to later find out that person got what they wanted, my cash and then it was see yah!

I am sure there are hundreds of thousands of people outtherethat could benefit by your training. I am surely nobody special, just a man that has a passion to live my life with passion. I hope to be able to bring smiles to all of my customers someday. Right now I have no customers but when I do get one i want them to be a customer for life and together we can change other peoples lives along the way.

I appreciate the chance to join you on this new adventure and I hope you will consider me for the program. I am determined to make it on my own and never ever go back to work for Corporate America, 28 years of that was enough :-(

Thanks so much for the information in Guru’s Nitemare, it was exceptional material and i am glad I can refer to it as often as i like.

Vote For Mark :-)

Take Care and get on that treadmill !!!

Sincerely

Mark Cercone

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I can take and follow directions. I am very creative in other aspects of my life and would like to be able to apply that to Internet Marketing as well.

The personal financial freedom that your training would provide would inspire and motivate me to write and record (professionally) a song that I will call Ode to Alex. Seriously. That’s a promise. OK ,it seems a little out there but so is life. Good for you for making the mentroing offer. Changing and improving peoples lives is what it is really all about.

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I have been goin around in circles for nearly 2 years now. Direct linking, building websites with all the seo that goes with them (nightmare) Guru’s get rich in 10 minutes programes, PPV advertising, Landing pages, Squeeze pages, Blogs Blah Blah Blah ye know the story. Even after all this i have not been successful (yet). But i must say everything in your ebook is so true to my situation of having “Guru’s” sell me sh*t and i actually laughed when the penny dropped that that they never intended to help me make any money in this marketing game, i was just there prospect. I always knew some piece of the jigsaw was missing. Thanks for opening my eyes to that at least!. Please choose me as one of the lucky 5 because i know after reading about you that not only could you teach me everything i need to know ill have fun doing it, plus feel sorry for me im unemployed with debts coming out me ar*e and all i have is this computer and some hopes and dreams please don’t smash my hopes and dreams Alex. HA ha ha sorry mate just a bit of a laugh.

Thanks for free info anyway

I’ve just got done reading your ebook and was impressed with the content and value you gave.

I have written an ebook and i know what you have to go through to get it as you want it. I’ve been into internet marketing for 3 years now and although i haven’t made a dime yet i know that i will soon – hang on make that very soon ;-)

I have seen some of the success you have brought to so many people Alex and i was hoping that you could sprinkle some of your magic over me.

I am a hard working person and i wouldn’t let you down if you thought it fit to choose me for your program.

here’s to your continued success Alex and i hope we can work together in the future.

Mike.

hey Mike,

if you have been at this for 3 years with no money – then there is a serious issue
but with a little shift in focus – we can have you pumping out cash daily.

no magic needed … just marketing !!!
Ken Grey 03.31.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my mentor because …

Like most who are commenting, I have tried to make money online and lost big time, (Adwords) Google got rich, I max out.

Any way, I have never won any thing in my life and I don’t see any thing changing in the near future so I’m off down the pub to cry in my beer, poor me.

Many thanks for the free report, will start to learn marketing tomorrow, but for now, I’m off for a pint or three…

Take care Ken Grey…

Alex,I want you as my personal mentor,,Hey man,,.you certainly know how to touch on a persons buying emotions,, Wow:,,you really put this one over,,you are very honest in all your
dealings with the public, I read somewhere that they are going to ban these false guru,s who are selling crap info online, I read in a forum that certain honest marketers are going to form a society for all honest marketers to join and for the dishonest ones to be exposed,,,

Alex,, you should be one of the CEOs on this board as you really are very honest and open
Yes, I am also one of those suckers who have bought into all the crap on the internet,,
looking for the answer to making websites,squeeze pages,paypal buttons,monetizing,,etc.etc.. To be very honest I have joined countless membership sites that give you shtt all,, I always wanted to be online and earning as I want to get out of the rat race as you know life and paying the bills gets in ones way,,

Well,, here”s hoping to be selected to be mentored by you..

Kudoos to you,,,

Thanks,,,,Derek

hey derek,

thanks for the comments man …

to be honest – if the honest gurus formed a board – i would not join,.

im not going to focus my time weeding out the bad guys
im going to focus on delivering the good message and rise above it all.

i’d love to see the internet get cleaned up – but by who ???
Denise 03.31.10

Hi Alex…I enjoyed reading how you came to the point you are at now in Internet marketing. It seems like you have figured out how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together so I feel sure that you can lead me to your same success. I’d love to be chosen to work with you. Why I want you to coach me more than anyone else is a hard question to answer because none of us wants to be selfish but I would have to say that I have been trying do things long enough on my own and not seen success…so it’s time to let you show me the ropes and then I can show them to others. I’ve always loved helping others so it would be a natural thing for me to do…to be a coach just like you will be to us. Thanks for the opportunity to be one of the 5 who will be personally mentored by you.

its okay to be selfish Denise,

we all want a better life … so its fine to put it out there that you want something bad enough that you are willing to do what it takes to get it,

my cause has grown beyond just money for the bills – now im looking at making money to invest in places that help other causes.

and that still is selfish – even though there is no money gain where i invest
i will still get a personal HI from helping the cause im investing in.

to success

I now realise that everything i have learnt sofar doesn`t work and after reading your report i was amazed.Alex you have opened my eyes for the first time about internet marketing.I will go over the report many times and study other marketers and the way they are marketing.I also intend to put what you have taught me into action.
Thanks Alex

Hi Alex, I read your ebook but I am still sceptical as I have been well burnt by scammers online, show me you are different to the rest, and show me how its done..thanks. I still believe most Internet Marketers are only online to make a profit and they will do anything to do it, there is no such thing as a free lunch online

Jimmy 03.31.10

I guess that I am a combination of many of the people above. I have purchased many, many products online – which have made money for others – that have made nothing, nada, el zippo for my family. I continue to labor at a day job and squeeze in time whenever I can to keep studying. I think I have been “studying” for 10 years now, but have not taken much action (at least successful) action. It seems that most of the ebooks I read are descriptive, but not prescriptive. They tell about all kinds of ways to get rich online, but they never quite lay it out in a step-by-step consumable fashion. So Alex, here I am … I would like your help … Thanks.

Alex Reply:
March 31st, 2010 at 10:52 pm
Jimmy … there never is really a step by step system – but there is a formula to follow
when you take positive action on a proven plan, – thats my logic on the problem.

seems to work for my students too :)
Patrick McTigue 03.31.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I will take the information that you provide and I will take decisive and immediate action until I see the results that you clearly are capable of helping me attain. I enjoyed your Guru’s Nightmare report and read it from top to bottom over a couple hour period. The journey you have described is a very interesting one, and I applaud you for your drive and focus…and certainly your results.

“I don’t do a good job, but I do a consistent one” is a phrase that you mentioned a number of times in your report. I can relate to that very well. I have been trying for years to attain the success that you mention, but have not gotten there yet. I say not there yet, because I totally believe I will attain success in marketing online. I say this with total conviction because I will not stop until I get there. I clearly see you can assist me and accelerate my earning while I am learning. This excites me very much.

If you choose to mentor me, I will commit to the effort with everything I have to offer. I will take action and will follow your recommendations to the letter. I will become on of your best students and I will make you happy that you selected me to be one of your “chosen few”.

Finally, if you choose to work with me, I will commit to carry on with your practice of spreading the word and helping others. I am always willing to share what I know with others, and would continue down this path with my newly found confidence and skills that I am sure I will obtain by working with you. I look forward to working with you and getting to know you.
Leona 03.31.10

Hey Alex! Fantastic e-book….I don’t remember meeting you, but it seems you know everything about me…scary! I’ve been studying IM for the last year, and am enjoying the learning, but would enjoy success SO MUCH MORE! The key thing about you seems to be that you have integrity, which is very rare in this game. One thing that’s always bothered me about IM, is that most seem like rip-off-artists. I wouldn’t sleep at night if I took this approach, so it was very refreshing to read about your approach, because helping people does matter, not just stealing their money.

BTW Thanks for giving me the magic key! If you’re not marketing, your’e not making money! Brilliant!! Procrastination seems to have become my middle name (don’t use it on cheques tho, too long), and it is a vicious cycle – you’re right! I am determined to follow your advice and adopt a Marketer mindset, rather than a Prospect one. This one thing would make a huge difference to my focus and where I put it.

I am now ready to step up to the next level, and follow in your footsteps, although they may be slightly larger than mine. Mine will grow in time, and with the sort of experience you can share with me there’s no looking back!

Alex Reply:
March 31st, 2010 at 10:54 pm
yes im here to make money STRAIGHT UP

but the way i do it – is perfect …

…i don’t take peoples money – i have people want to pay me,.

then i follow up on my promise on what i offer or i simply return the money.

very diffrent to scammers right ?

so with that said im looking forward to you following in my footsteps

Chris Jenkins 03.31.10

Wow Alex that is some great stuff! Just want to say thank you and appreciate the material. This material could not have come at a better time for me for I have been going through the struggles of setting up the funnel and am running into the trials and test just like your book said. Was trying to bang my head against the wall and figure out what I am missing in the picture. Also trying to so much on my own because of the money situation. Whether or not you pick me I am going to study your marketing campaigns as I have started to study a few others. I am not going to drop my URL’ s on this page because I do not feel that would be appropriate. Would love to show how far I have come but also let you laugh at how much I have to learn. It is amazing actually how much there is to learn and digest in this industry. How much crap there is to weed through would be a good statement. Back to the point sorry got caught up in the moment. I feel I would be a great fit for your program because I have pushed so far on my own and realize that this business is not just about the hard work you put in or the knowledge that you have but the way you present it and the perception that people have of that presentation. It is about me and how to market me and my material that comes with that. ie the quality that I provide people. Look forward to learning how to present that quality from you. I have wasted countless hours going in the wrong direction and chasing this and that. When I look back it though maybe it was not a total waste because the knowledge and experience that I took from those experience is helping me to grow not only as a individual but as a Marketer which in turn if you can learn from experience than sometimes it does not have to be all bad. I will not quit I am not in this thing for the short term I realize that race is long one and the rewards are small at the beginning. You have also hit the nail on the head when you said it practically impossible to win the game per say without a Mentor and guidance. That is what I am looking for at the moment trying to find the person and move to the next level. Well that is all I have I know you are extremely busy and hope that you consider me to be your next Success Story. Thank you for your time and book and look forward from learning from you one way or another in the future.

Thanks,
Chris Jenkins

… and now i understand even more of my readers problems from reading all these emails and blog comments,

im going to do a LIVE training program this wednesday for free,

so instead of spending the next day replying to all the comemnts below,
Im going to spend it going over my notes to create the best free training in town.

hopefully before my coaching program goes live later this week i can come and reply to all the comments below, – i have to read everyone again to pick the 5 winners, so we’ll see how much spare time i have,

Ian Middleton 03.31.10

Yes Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because unlike all the gurus who have quickly taken my money and left my without a few pieces of the jigsaw, I can see that you have rubbed shoulders with the best and invested in your education to help others like us.

With your help I could lock my tools away and make some real money at last!

I have to say you are a breath of fresh air in such challenging times for us mere mortals!

I am trying to promote your coaching and hope that I can make enough sales to take your course if I am not one of the chosen ones.

Thanks for your style and expose

Jim Bradley 03.31.10

Hi Alex,
Just finished reading your e book and really enjoyed it. I will get right to the chase, I can really relate to what you said about not doing very good in school, especially in English class. I have been down the same road that you have traveled as far as information overload and sucked into everything that comes across the pike. I have been lost to find the missing links that I have been looking for but after reading your ebook a light came on to what this internet business is all about. I have worked very diligently to try to make something work and have just about quit more than once. But I have determined by the grace of God to not give up. And I feel that by being part of your program that I would finally be able to succeed in making this happen. I hope that you will consider me as I am very interested. Thank you
Fred 03.31.10

Greetings Alex,

I just finished reading your Gurus Nightmare eBook and found it quite insightful. It’s easy to see that you have and take a genuine interest in your products, your reputation and your students and their success. That, my friend, is quite rare in the IM arena, and for that I commend you sincerely!

I am relatively new to Internet Marketing (less than 2-months) and have managed to make almost $500 using PPC marketing (ClickBank products). Sadly, I “donated” almost $800 in the first month to Google and Yahoo. Nevertheless, I am glad to have earned that much thus far, especially when I read/hear stories about people who haven’t made any money in 2 to 3 years of online activity.

Bottom line is this – I want to succeed at Internet MARKETING! So that I don’t take time away from my family, I wait until they all go to bed and end up spending 4-5 hours online searching and learning, but not marketing as you say. I want to succeed so that I can enjoy more time with them. I want financial freedom, more time to devote to family and to spiritual pursuits.

An ancient proverb states this, “Do not hold back good from those to whom it is owing, when it happens to be in the power of your hand to do it”. With that in mind, I want to succeed and in turn help others to prosper! I respect your attitude in that regard, you’ve done well and now you’re genuinely trying to help others. Well done!

In order to be a good student, one must be teachable – display humility. With that in mind, I humble myself before you and ask that you grant me the opportunity to succeed with you as my personal mentor.

Respectfully,

Fred

Trying to make money on line has not been very successful for me. I do need FREE training.
Paul 03.31.10

Hey Big Guy!

(That’s my little pain motivation present to you, to remind you to hit the gym every morning until you can look me in the eye and flex the muscles to prove me wrong. In return, you are welcome to refer to me with ‘Hey Poor Guy!’ to remind me to mind my own business until I can look you in the eye and flex my bank statement to prove you wrong.)

Wow. Well, I’ve certainly been on a journey in the last hour, reading and rereading your report Guru’s Nightmare. I started out just seeing all the spelling mistakes but after a couple of pages I forgot about that as it was obvious that you were on a mission and you know a lot from experience. I’ve spent a lot of time and money learning nothing much that was useful, from people who didn’t actually practice what they preach. The little I have learned that has got me this far, has all been from a handful of marketers and mentors who teach straight from their own experience. What got me was how directly you spoke to me with a whole lot of sense and passion too. It was spookily like having my mind read. All those thousands of dollars on coaching are working Alex, you know just how to enter my mind and my conversation. So I at least feel that I know that your way is not the best way, it is the only way to success.

I really like the way that you lay out the truth. There are very few marketers out there in my sphere of contact doing what you are doing, so few that I can count them on my fingers. Of course, you are moving in wider circles and are meeting more of the good guys (as well as the bad and the ugly), but to us starting out and fighting our way up you are a breath of fresh air. You’ve added plenty of clear extra layers to things that I was becoming aware of but didn’t know how to put into words. So you’ve saved me a few years of hardship and pain just by explaining the Prospect / Marketer psychology in great detail.

I’ve spent more money than I care to admit, on products and services that had shiny promises but which were just not what I needed. And it is sooooo easy to be sold things that I don’t need, when I don’t know any better. I feel like I am just emerging from this soup now, ready to focus on core activities. But what are they? I think I need a plan, a long term plan with a single goal, broken down into shorter achievable steps. I got a really strong vibe from your Guru’s Nightmare report that you are an expert in doing this, Alex.

I’d gotten as far as signing up to lots of lists in order to study how they try to market to me, but the volume of mailings is overwhelming and I don’t have a structure for sitting down to analyse them. I get a good feeling that you know something about that too.

I have my Aweber account and subscribers on a few lists, but not enough to write home about and frankly, I’m realising that I need to build a relationship with these people. I just don’t feel good about selling to them, I know that I would turn off and unsubscribe if I was on one of my lists at the moment. Again, from reading your stuff I sense that you are experienced in these things, and boy am I wanting to learn.

I’ve spent a year of fruitless time making a product for which there was not really much of a market. I have made small products and just like you said, not known how to market them so that fell down too. How you have used marketing leverage is something I have heard about but never done, so the chance to put that into practice would be eye opening.

So I’m invited to say why I’d like you to coach me. Well, from what I have read about you and from you, it feels like you can teach me and my research bears that out (you have taught plenty of others successfully). Am I ready to learn? I might be a tough student Alex, I’m a stat-freak and I like to be in control. I’ve been working on shutting up and listening to wise advice from mentors, and I do have this habit of rising to challenges that you could take advantage of to get the best out of me. I’m learning that serving others is the key to getting what I want – I’m still learning about that though :-) I feel like this is a very long and exciting journey that we are on, and I know I won’t be the same person next month let alone next year.

Thanks for the opportunities – the free information in your report is valuable, your shared experiences are even more valuable, and the chance to be included in your mentoring programme is invaluable. I’d be a fool to not enter this race! Whatever happens, I’ll be back to learn from you.

Best wishes,

Paul

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because…. I *can* follow an instruction! (eventually….). Feeling sheepish now, and smiling. Nothing like making your mistakes in public eh? :-)

Hey Big Guy!

In return, you are welcome to refer to me with ‘Hey Poor Guy!’ to remind me to mind my own business until I can look you in the eye and flex my bank statement to prove you wrong. Heck you can say whatever you like in order to motivate me.)

Tim Adami 04.01.10

Alex-
though I know little about you I have seen your name a few times as a top affiliate for others. I thank you for the ebook and found it very interesting. Will actually have to re-read it to fully digest all the information as I need to grasp this concept quickly. I have been actively trying the internet marketing ‘game’ for several months (since being laid off) and had hope that I could replace 1/2 the income lost, but as you stated, I found myself needing to gain more knowledge to what I am trying to accomplish.

I continue to grow daily and am now trying to drop the distractions that pop up every day. Articles and my blog are my main focus as I try to provide quality information for my visitors. Doing things alone is quite frustrating to say the least. I am consistent with each entry and anticipate that comments (good and bad) will be increasing.

Learning to market has been a battle since I spent most of my working time placed in the “cubie-life”, not much opportunity to interact outside of the co-workers. I do keep my confidence as high as possible and believe that should I find a quality mentor, my efforts will become more effective.

I look forward to the webinar since seeing so many comments here show the limited chances for being one of five. I will re-read your book and expect to extract many other gems that will assist me.

To Your Incredible Success,
Tim
Graham Price 04.01.10

Alex I really need a break and especially after reading every word of Your report, I just know that You are the Man to follow as I agree fully with Your principles outlined. I also feel that following the last Three and a half Years of full-time online learning I understand fully everything that You said and well – it just makes sense !

I am ready, focussed, teachable, and more than willing, please choose me Alex.

Kindest Regards, Graham.
derek 04.01.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because …

Before I read your report, I had never heard of you, half way through the report I trusted you, at the end of the report I was sold and it was all without selling. This is the kind of thing that both me and my clients have been looking for for a long time.

Sorry about your dad, I’m glad he was able to get a job with you, you must have felt proud to be able to do that for him!

I’ve followed almost every guru out there and no one has impacted me with one piece of material as you have. As the saying goes, “You have not because you ask not.” Will you choose me to be one of the people who you’ll mentor?

What I’ve done to be considered is created a site called ocd gone in seven days, with over 900 backlinks, alexa ranking 370,189/ have hit the wall at about $2,000 monthly, I plan on getting married pretty soon and my goal this year is to reach $100,000 this year and I believe I can hit this mark working with you.

Killer stuff bro,

Alex,

You need to pick me as a coaching student because of what I can give you. I’m dedicated and want the success you talk about in your book so bad that I think about it every second of the day.

I’d like you to make your decision right away, but of course you want to know a bit about me first.

I have been in the IM space for about 2 years now. I started in PPC and lost my shirt with it. I dove into SEO and from that I honed my website creation skills. As of now I’m focused on writing copy, building sites in niches I have tested, and driving traffic to them. As of now, I do not make enough money online to support my family – and that is my first goal.

You need someone who will do the work in order to create their own success, right? If you pick someone else, I can tell you that you will not get someone who works as hard as I do. Pick me and it will be the best decision you make today.

Reasons:

[1] I’m great learner

[3] live in proximity which will make it easier 4 both of us
[4] need the extra help feeding 10 mouths and struggling as family man [= boost of case study success potential for you...]
[5] admire your marketing approach [eg, like how you manage to respond to EACH commenter to make you stand out]
[6] want to use my success to help others and already existing charitable causes
[7] have a circle of influence
[8] helping my wife with her site to help support families and kids etc.
… I’m exhausted already but the list goes on and on n’ on… :)

Estani Chapel 04.01.10

Hi Alex,
Congratulations on your new report and thank you for sharing it with us. It’s full of great insights about Internet marketing. I almost devoured it.

I watched today a video based on a book with the title “Even Eagles Need a Push” by David McNally.

The video starts with a question – Why does the thrill of soaring begin with the fear of falling?

Even eagles don’t know they are eagles until they use their wings and start flying. When the moment comes and it’s time to leave the nest, there is the conflict between the fear of falling and the thrill of soaring.

The eagle’s nest is usually located high upon the shelf of sheer rock faces. In order to get her grown fledglings to fly the eagle mother has to give them that final push.

I need and want that push from you as my mentor.

I have done your MWA 2.0 and I’m very happy with my results. I started practically from zero and in 14 weeks I have a blog with an Alexa Rank of 551,000, 3 PPP in place, a list of 280 subscribers, and I’m working on my own product. Maybe it sounds like not so much, but those are results I never had before.

So I want more of it. If you say that your next coaching program is 100 times better than this one I recently finished, I want to be in, definitely.

I’d like to be one those 5 you’ll pick up for your bonus. Nevertheless, if I’m not among them, I’ll do all I can to get a seat at this new coaching program anyway. Dude you’re the first one I understand when you talk (even when English is not my first language) … And your Hand-On approach is the way I learn best things.

Anyway I’ve had a lot of fun during the time I’ve been your student. Yes, sometimes I’ve almost cried of frustration when I don’t really get it. IM is simple but not easy to apply when you’re a new. But it has been more fun than crying :).

Keep going strong man. You inspire me and many others that have been in contact with you.

Wish you a BIG success

Yes Alex I want to be mentored by you because I have just finished your ebook and you touched on some excellent stuff like being a prospect and checking your emails first before your stats.

I do some marketing online at the minute but have not hit the big income that I have been hoping for so I believe that your coaching would be for me as you have the whole process down to a tee and are a qualified mentor as your students are seeing lifechanging results.

Your proven system is what I have been looking for and a proven marketing strategy is something I haven’t seen given out from anyone online so you will be what a real mentor is.

Yes Alex, I want you to be my personal mentor because I need to have the facility to work at home now I have a sick Grandaughter. I need extra money to look at stem cell therapy in China and enough money to not have to ask for a day off work when I want to attend a hospital appointment with my daughter and grandaughter. Enough said on this….

I have 2 inboxes full of get rich quick schemes and yes I did buy in to them. On the way I have learnt the terminology, squeeze pages, landing pages, affiliates, paypal, clickbank, websites, traffic etc etc. I understand it all but have not put it into practice, I feel like I am ready to go but need a great big helping hand to start me off, support me along the way with a cheery word and congratulate me when I get it right! My family think I am mad of course and have said I will never give up the day job. So pick me please. I am intelligent, hard working, work for a charity for the blind (and have an eye condition) and I am an all round good egg!! Hope to speak to you soon as one of the Famous Five – take care.
jane silverstein 04.01.10

My name is John, and I’m spending all my free time trying to make money for Jane, who is crazy, and is on ssi disability. If I can make her enough money, then I’m confident she will help me escape. You see, I’ve been unable to go out in public for more than 4 yrs. Why? The FBI has been spying on me, and I don’t want to risk false arrest–I’ve been false arrested twice, and ran from a third attempt. I live on goat’s milk, honey, and fruit(my own goats and bees). I spent 3 yrs in the equatorial jungle of Indonesia, two of those years illegally. I must get a sailboat, supplies, put my goats and bees on board, and sail down to the equatorial atolls, where law enforcement is weak. If I can’t get out of here, I feel I will probably end up dead and possibly killing others in self defense-I have the RIGHT to travel–its God’s world, not Governments’. I recently have been wishing that I was never born, but the internet is giving me hope and is a way for me to have meaning -to give whatever I am. I’m going to take the internet , and continue working on line, relying on someone here I can hopefully trust to help me in whatever way needed–I have no plan to return to the U.S. and have not been back(except for a vacation ) since ’97 when I left into Mexico, and then into Guatemala-And from there to Taiwan, and into other countries.

I think you can help me –period. Right now, I have little more than $5. And no credit. Again, I don’t want my name on anything, and I have vowed to never be positive ID’d. “Give me liberty, or give me death. That’s the law of the jungle–no slavery there. Screw man’s perverted laws–I only have one! I can’t begin to describe the hell of living with a crazy woman who calls the cops on me regularly, sometimes in the middle of the night. I have one backpack with my essentials, and I run into the adjacent forest to hide when the cops show up. I could live out there alone, but I need her support right now emotionally. I just can’t handle being trapped, and totally alone, in a such a desolate place-the forest here has very few creatures, whereas the jungle was full of all kinds of amazing lifeforms.

I have owned a computer cable bs where I had an 800# and people called me from all over the country, but I stole the customers from my x-company that fired me wo reason. I also ran a carpet cleaning bs in Vegas for a little while, but my partner screwed me–the point is, I have had days in my life where I’ve made thousands of dollars(gross), so I know what it feels like. My Dad lives very, very well–fancy cars, 300 acre farm, rolex, etc., so I’m familiar with luxury. I know I can do this.

Thanks for reading my comment, and best of luck to you.
Ballington 04.01.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because you’ve convinced me that this is exactly what I need.

I’ve had my fingers burned a couple of times in the last few months, not for mega amounts but as I dont have much that was never going to happen anyway. And now, like you said, my inboxes, yes I’ve got loads, are overflowing everyday with this new big thing and that greatest ever thing, that I spend half my day just reading my mail, and it seems to never end. It seems like everyones got me on their list. Mug or what?

I’ve never had much, mainly through my own doing, so I’m used to living from payday to payday and getting by but I can now see my kids following the same pattern and whatever happens I have to stop that, hence being on here in the first place. I may not be able to earn enough to keep the wolf from all their doors but if can teach them how to do it themselves then that would do for me.

I realise you’ll have thousands of replies so I know my chances are pretty remote of being picked but I have still learnt things tonight that have made me sit up and think. Not so much about what you say but the way you say it, with real feeling and without all the crap.

I know one day I’ll make a go of this, hopefully sooner rather than later, and I wont give up till I have. A lot of people, though they dont all know it, need me to.

Thanks for your time Alex, and for the chance of this. Here’s to our future, together or not.

Pragati 04.01.10

I have been to the seminars, got roped into the hype and have got maxed out credit card debts to show for it. I need to get out of this rut. It is diffucult to judge who is genuine. The e-books and videos do not work for me, I need practical guidance from a person not just a book.I need to make a lifestyle change due to health reasons and cannot go back to a 9-5 job. I need to learn this skill no matter how long it takes. I know that this will never be taught in school because the powers that be want you to be poor and ill. I know this skill will be crucial in years to come. I want to learn while my mind can still be moulded rather than feel that I have missed the boat years down the line. I have read your report and I like your no crap approach and would appreciate working with you. I also like your mission to help others. If you choose me I would carry forward your mission and help others to become financially free without being corupt. Please help me get out of the la la land that the scam artists have created -making me think I can get rich quickly. To me marketing is painful and difficult as this skill does not come naturally to me. I totally understand where Sandra is comming from. It is not ideal for me to talk about my personal problems online for all to see so I am not going to list them online. Just know that I believe in the law of reciprocity so if you help me get out of this low point in my life, I will also want to help you ten fold. I am not out to just take your help and rip you off by reselling your techniques. I am a genuine, motivated person, who is willing to put in the time and effort to succeed. If you need to ask me any further questions before you pick the 5 lucky people then please do contact me. Thank you
Fabi 04.01.10

Yes Alex, I want you to be may mentor because:
1) You show your picture with your wife that shows honesty and respect.
2) Because you explain how the market works and you think as I think.
3) I need desperately to help my family that are in financial crisis.
4) to make money to help other people in a very serious conditions; I thought to create a charity.
Thank You, God bless you.
Jen 04.01.10

I think it would be fantastic if you could be my mentor! I’ve been working at this for so long WITH NO PLAN that lasted more than a few days…and I’m not even a genius. I started this crazy journey years ago and I refuse to stop until I succeed. I just refuse. And I absolutely love that you have replied to all these comments, it really shows how different you are.
Thank you, Mr. Big Cigar!
Frank 04.01.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I keep chasing my tail and not getting anywhere following the so called Guru’s. I am tired of the same stuff being sold and not being taught what I actually need to do to be successful.

Sure I would like to make some money, but I don’t want to rob people of it or scamming people out of it. I would like to help others in their quest to make it online who have failed or just don’t know what direction to go like myself.

With your help and my drive, I can finally become a successful online marketer instead of running around in circles.

Your eBook finally opened my eyes to the truth I have been missing all along. Thank you.

I seriously look forward to working with you and following in your footsteps!
Rick Byrd 04.01.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I know that you working with me will make me successful and become a leader online.

Unfortunately, I found you at the beginning of this year after your previous coaching programs. However, I have followed many of your students, like Dean Holland, Joe Fier, Matt Wolfe, Michael Ottman, and Marcus Passey to name just a few. I have seen how they have prospered due to your coaching and their hard work and perseverance.

I have the desire and the drive to be successful and you have the skills and correct information to help me become an online leader and be successful.

I will be losing my job sometime this year due to a company buyout and I want to leave on my terms and not the terms of the company.

I have just finished reading “Gurus Nightmare”. I have read all your ebooks and you keep putting out some great content but I am still missing something. I am ready to unshackle myself from the gurus chains.

I have seen how you have made a difference in your students lives and I want to be a part of that lifestyle.

If you choose me, I will buy you a beer when we meet in person. Okay, I will buy you a few beers! (how’s that for a bribe)

Thanks for this opportunity!

Darcy Rona 04.01.10

Yes Alex, I want you to be my personal mentor because I’ve tried to become successful at internet marketing for over a year now with no success. I have a burning desire to do this, and after being burned more times than I can care to mention from all the so-called gurus, I’ve come to the inevitable conclusion that I NEED A MENTOR. I’m in serious need of a financial turn-around and I could seriously use the expertise of someone like yourself. I have many personal ambitions and dreams that I want to see realized in my life and I believe that if I could master internet marketing, that it would help pave the way for me to get there. I’m 26 years old and one of my immediate goals in life is to be financially independent. Internet marketing is my career choice and NOT a mere hobby. I know that I won’t be able to learn any of this in school, so that’s why I’m reaching out to you today, with the hope that you’ll consider me for one of the 5 spots you have available for your coaching give – away. Your Guru’s Nightmare report really resonated with my own personal experience of past failure. Hopefully with someone like yourself to guide me, I could be a SUCCESS and provide you with one heck of a testimonial to thank you for it!!!!

Thank you very much Alex for your consideration ;-)

Best Always,

Darcy Rona
Maya 04.01.10

Hi again Alex,
I’m writing again to confirm that I did find the information in your e-book extremely useful. I mentioned the spelling mistakes because I was amazed by the fact that you were so genuine. They do not distract at all from the message. In fact, I’m rereading it tonight because I want to start implementing what you stressed. I do hope that you will take me to the next level by allowing me to be your student!
Anne 04.01.10

Alex-
I definitely fit the mold you portrayed in “The Guru’s Nightmare”, only amplified and on steroids!
I have struggled the past few years to experience some form of success with Internet Marketing and despite the obstacles encountered, I have not thrown in the towel yet. During this timeframe, my spouse of 26 years died unexpectedly, I was terminated from my job after 10 years, and have spent all of my resources pursuing this dream. The worst part of it is not the fact that I have spent a ton of money on junk or even that I have not made any money ….it is not even the fact that I may be forced to move out of my home and lose my car to debt collectors. The worst part is the time I lost with my husband, prior to his death, when I would get home from my job every weeknight and spend another 6 to 8 hours in the office trying to achieve financial freedom so I would have more time to spend with my husband……It is just so ironically sad and I do not want that lost time to be in vain. I HAVE to reach my goal…..
I know that having a mentor is the missing component in my efforts. Having exhausted my resources, I know that it would be the grace of God and your generousity only, that would allow me such an opportunity.
I need a coach and mentor,Alex, and you need a proof reader……If I am not selected as one of the five free students, would you consider bartering?
I’m ready to get started!

Thanks for your consideration-

Anne
Melissa 04.01.10

Hey Alex,

Thanks for the free ebook. Tons of info and I’m still trying to get through it. I’m a university student, graduating in the summer. I hope to launch a profitable blog so I can travel a bit before settling into a career. I figure I deserve that much because it’s taken me 8 years to get through school. Is it so much to ask that after 8 years of hard work that I have some time off to myself before tying myself down with house, family, etc?

Keep up the great work. Also, totally impressed you take the time to reply to each and every comment. No one does that!
Richard 04.01.10

Hi mate
You obviously know what you are talking about, that is clear…we live in different hemispheres so a different perspective would be healthy and helpful. Lastly I can see you have very good taste and that says something that words from such a distance can’t.
I believe your coaching would be extremely valuable.
Duncan McNeill 04.01.10

Hey Alex, you are a breath of fresh air! This is the first time anyone has spelled it out exactly how to succeed in internet marketing, but what is really great is you provide the information free of charge. This makes you my number one new best friend, and my number one choice to be guided and mentored. Thank you, you are a 25 carat gem quality diamond. Take care.
James 04.01.10

Alex, I want you to be my mentor because:
I jumped up to this Internet Marketing “Game” with a goal and only one goal, to succeed again.

If you don’t pick me, than I’ll just go back to my side line and keep gathering information i need in order to succeed in this “Game”. I do get, and go through about 2500-3000 emails per day, and i do get lot of “free” information and tools. (I have to go through 7000 mails because I read your report yesterday and today before I wrote this… =D ) and I will just wait for your next report and chance.(if there’s any)

If you pick me you will be getting another success story for you to add, and I bet you I can be the BEST SUCCESS STORY that YOU have EVER HEARD OF.

Thank you for the book. Every time I read it, I only got up 2-3 times.
Hypnotised i should say? lol

P.S. Tell that English teacher to teach English at her class… WTF… She got some balls to come online act like that. Doesn’t she know people get KILLED for saying something online??? Alex, you are right, they are just a school teacher. I feel sorry for the kids that have to listen to her a$$ talk. >=P
P.S.S. Yes, i did read all,(well almost all) of your blog posts too.
James
Jerry Martin 04.01.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I read your e-book and it was all about me to a tee. I think anybody that is thinking of getting into this business should read your e-book first before even considering it. I have read all the E-books and have spent months and months of reading and spending money and your right,all the projects I tried failed in delivery and support or training. I’ve been laid off work for a while now and getting up in the years. Its time for me and my family to to live the good life that I wanted all my life. I believe the new wave of making money (in the world) is on the internet and it’s just starting. Your concept has more truth then any thing I’ve read. Thank you for your wisdom and insight.
Matt Sicotte 04.01.10

Yes, Alex I Desire for You to Be My personal Mentor because, I have been marketing My Umattr.info site since September 2009 by My Self. I Am Receiving Excellent traffic, My conversions are lacking for sure. Whom ever You Choose, I feel will Honestly Be based on Your pure Intuition! Either way it is Exciting for Me to meet a Fellow Successful marketer :)

Be Prosperous,
Matt Sicotte
Rawle 04.01.10

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because…”
you really had me going. it took me three nights to go through that pdf, written in laymans terms and as if yu was just there talking to me. i did not regret that. it was worth it.
and to top it off yu describe me to a tee on pages 53, 55 and 63.
i like the steps and details on pages 77 to 82 as you said “That’s marketing 101″
The replies to Sandra Bailey (03.31.10) has to come from knowing that situation already. I will have to look at the reports mentioned to Robert Le Gay Bereton (03.31.10). (Incidentally google reports the site newbiesnightmare as an attack site)

Permit me to thank you for the download. it was quality stuff…real eye opener. Now I’ll have to read the rest of your reports.

thanks again man
yours in education

Zimmaron 04.01.10

Hi Alex…

Why should you chose me for the free coaching? Simply because I will be the best testimonial you have ever had. I have spent thousands on all sorts of programs…and quite frankly I am glad that the industry is changing. There needs to be more honesty and full disclosure. All I need is help to get a little direction and some focus.

Ironically, I earn my daily nut designing websites and doing SEO work for my clients… all word of mouth, yet I have not managed to launch my own campaigns or even a website to promote my own business. I am ready. I am hungry.

Thanks!

Thanks,
maurice 04.01.10

Yes Alex, I want you to be my personal mentor because all along your report it seemed to me you must have eavesdropped me in my endeavour.
With astonishing precision -nothing left- your report is like an hyper-realist portrait of me, struggling to find the way, to put all the pieces of the puzzle together.
Yes, I have been sold lots of times, no, I have never devoted much time to marketing; yes, I focused on tools, techniques, only to find newer ones; yes I did get completely overwhelmed; no I haven’t made my first 500$ yet.
I have read Rich’s Manifesto, his great Attention Age Doctrine, bought his super package (and followed its launch step by step), followed Big launches from Stompernet to Frank Kern’s Mass Control, from Armand Morin to Joyner’s etc. etc.
ETC. ETC. ETC….

I soon figured out I did need a good mentor, someone willing to teach for real, but came to the conclusion it’s just a dream, because:
a) it would (and should) cost way too much for me
b) there are several (not many) true professionals of great assistance to someone ALREADY operating with some success, but who would really care to help someone starting from the ground?
c) Beside the hundreds of sales letters saying “I know how you feel, I started from scratch, my credit card was maxed, my wife left me, I was sleeping in a cave, I would clean toilets at 10c/hour, lost my hair and teeth, then I saw the LIGHT and now I give you this intheboxsystem making you 137,485.69$ in 37 minutes and 17 seconds, not for 9,970$, not for 7,970, not for 4,990, not for 2,490, not even 1,970; I was planning to give it to you, with my iron clad guarantee -I am taking ALL the risks, you know- for a steal price of 497!!! but only right now for you, I twisted my own arm and you can have it for 97$!!!! Now if you leave the page, my virtual agent will tell you WAIT: you can profit of this one time offer of over 50% discount and get it for 47$ and if you still insist to go away, I give my mom’s price of 1$ now and 16$ next week”, some are of course better written and do a good job in identifying with the prospect but just because of that they are really dangerous, because you trust the author and feel compelled to buy only to later find out you didn’t make any progress, actually, you lost time and focus.
Your report, while providing priceless DIRECTION, also excels in identifying: it’s a thorough analysis and a complete, detailed description of my (and I bet many others) struggles to create an internet business.
I know for sure I cannot afford your training and on the other hand I don’t think you’ll give it for free to me, an Italian living thousands miles away from the U.S. plus, I never believed in luck; but I do believe in never giving up and I do believe that persistence is eventually rewarded (and called luck by many), hence my post.
Whatever the outcome, very well done for your quite inspiring report and its unique content (but why did you expressly leave -or created- so many spelling mistakes?) and thanks from the heart.

Terry Hall 04.01.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because… Well, first of all I would like to say, I sure am glad I got a hold of and read your gurus nightmare. The fact that I am reading it, gives me the opportunity to win your coaching package. Not only that but I was deeply encouraged by your insights and mentoring approach in gurus nightmare.

I have bought several business offers and have been working towards putting together a business plan to create my own successful online business. I have not made any money online yet but am looking forward to making that first sale and ongoing sales. Reading your thoughts and viewing your video in gurus nightmare has heightened my entrepreneurial appetite to be one of your top team players. I am focused with much determination to make it big with my own online business. I believe having you mentor me will spur me onto higher heights in the right direction with growing results.

I’m looking forward to hearing those words; “Terry, you have just won my coaching package.” Boy, I just can’t wait to get started with your program. I’m trying hard to find the words to convince you that I am the guy who will make you proud by having me on your mentoring team.

Thanks Alex so much for the this opportunity and for listening.

M E 04.01.10

Why do I want coaching with Alex Jeffreys?

I have a head full of knowledge! Problem is that it is mostly wrong . I read the ebook today and picked up several pages of notes. The first thing I did was unsubscribe from most of the guru list I was on. Second thing was get a gmail.com address to cut down on spam.

I realize that I need good coaching. A search on the Internet basically says, “Marketing the Alex way works and is the best..” After a life threatening accident I am starting over after 5 years. I could certainly could use some quality help.

At 73 years old, I don’t have a lot of years left to build my wife a nest egg and this is my number one goal. The only way I can do that is through the Internet.. Being married yourself, you can understand this incentive.

So, Alex, I feel that your help would assist me in accomplishing this goal.

About the ebook, it has more information for free than any I have ever paid for.

Good Luck on your new venture,

M E
Chris Jenkins 04.01.10

Alex,
Sorry to leave two post hear but I grabbed your Guru Dream and read till page 74 Printed it out and took to work will finish tonight. Want to tell you I am excited about the material you provide. And by the way we would have blast on vacation together but we might get in trouble LOL. I never answered your question I guess why I feel you should pick me is that I am so much like you it seems in some ways that it is scary. I am establishing a business plan and use a stop watch just started last week and came online to make money but have recently moved that down the latter realizing that people need help. Now do not get me wrong here I am not bragging at all I need a lotttt of helppp but I realize that I can help people already with the knowledge that I have acquired. So to sum it up either way look forward to continuing my education and meeting you someday.

Your Friend,
Chris
Jason Lee 04.01.10

Yes, Alex I deserve to win your free coaching because:

1. Watch my video here and you will understand: http://www.internetmarketingequation.com – please, I am not trying to advertise this website or anything, but I think you really must watch the video to understand what I am going through…honestly, this website has nothing for sale and is not ready for traffic etc, but you must really watch it and you will know I am on the same page as you …

2. I’m only 24, but I have natural sales skills and have done well in sales my whole life, but am learning real marketing the hard way right now.

3. I can design blogs, squeeze pages, community websites, and more complete with billing systems, membership systems, and affiliate systems. I already have the software for all of this and can setup stuff like this rather quickly. I can do graphics design to make sites look great. I know how to setup email marketing systems for followup. I have learned SEO and how to design SEO friendly websites. I know how to find viable keywords, and how to know if it will be easy to get on page 1 of google for those keywords. I know how to create videos and audio recordings, and more… BASICALLY, I know how to do everything it takes as far as the marketing tools and sales funnel and backend systems, etc.. I am self taught on all of this, and even taught myself programming, did not go to school for this.

BUT despite all of this knowledge and experience I STILL have not made any money online with any of my projects I have tried for the past few years.

and here is why: just like you say, I have been spending all my time trying to build websites, build a business, or build a brand name, but NOT MARKETING….and although I enjoy doing all this and really feel like I know many things that others do not, it has not made me any money.

4. My ultimate goal is to create a system that will literally put the tools for success (a website with built in sales funnel, autoresponder, billing system, and affiliate system) in a person’s hand for 30 days for free, with built-in step-by-step instructions for taking their product to market, and ONLY if they feel it has made them money, then they would continue to use it thereby paying me a recurring fee. – help others and I will succeed.

Finally, I deserve to be your student because I am the fastest learner you will ever see and I already know so much, and I WILL be successful online with or without your help, but I need a mentor with “marketing chops” as you say and I think I will bring some awesome ideas and experience to the table for you and your team also that it would be an amazing ride for both of us…

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because …”

Man, you have some balls lol A marketing genius. Who else would put out 95 pages of horrendous spelling and get such a response?

More to the point, how many will actually read it and see what you are really saying and act on it? It is pure genius and for those who do read it and get it – it is a goldmine no doubt.

I stopped reading my mails some time ago now – right now I have over 20,000 unread mails in my gmail account. I decided to finally say “sod it” and do what I love and start from there rather than trying to sell. The mails I do pick out all seem to be students of yours (in fact, that is how I got to the report). Your record stands for itself.

Why do I want a YOU to mentor me? Quite simply I have started the switch from prospect but need the push to really get the marketing mindset. I need to focus and piece the jigsaw together. (And, I need to do it on a zero budget!).

But why you?

Well the free places obviously pulls the strings, BUT that doesn’t mean I would jump at the first person who offered free mentoring. I’ve been watching you and some of your students online and I like what I see.

Your report (spelling errors and all!) just sang to me. I haven’t spent £1000′s online – I don’t have it to spend. I didn’t get that particular slap. I did see behind the words though, the passion that drives you, your personality and of course your marketing skills.

I would be honoured to be mentored by you. That said, mentored or not, I will solve the puzzle of internet marketing and win, it just might take a little longer :)

Resubmiting this comment as my net died as it was sending – apologies if it has sent twice! Yes, internet marketing with next to no internet – a Lady loves a challenge!
Roger 04.01.10

Great E-book Alex. Well done. I would love an opportunity to follow this up. Currently floundering but eager to break out and make a difference. I am determined to make a success online but sick of all the bad advice out there.

Dave H 04.01.10

Hi Alex,
I’ve cancelled subscriptions to a few marketers lately as the emails threaten to get out of hand but so glad I decided to read the one from Rob Brooks. I read your book from start to finish and it confirmed a lot of what I thought. Even though I’ve been looking at marketing for some time it’s been a case of where do I start. I learned a lot and hope to learn a lot more from you in the future.
By the way, you remind me of a film star with that cigar in your mouth! I’ll tell you who it is later.

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because …” I have just had the biggest “WAKE UP” call ever .. I have spent the last 6 months ,and £1200 on trying to get an online business sorted ,and along comes your PDF fbook that tells me I have wasted both time and money , and the “crack” is ….its true … you described my morning online activities to a “T” …up ..read emails ..see what else I need to buy to get this project working …Total income so far ..£3.95…wow …. So …start again …The book is the best teaching I have had on this minefield called Internet Marketers…and a Wake up call ..big time … .

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because you are the BOMB!!! I want to be exactly like you, just the woman version (lol)!!

All joking aside though you are truly an inspiration and I want to do exactly what you do and that is to provide great, valuable and free information to people that can really help them. I love your style, you keep it real and I can tell you care because you have responded to each and every person that has posted a comment on this blog and that truly speaks volumes about what kind of person you are.

I am a mother of two children and have been online for about two months now and I am ready to steer my efforts from building a business to really running a business so that I can provide a better future for my family as well as provide true value to everyone that I encounter online and offline. I have the time as I am a stay at home mom so I am extremely devoted and will do whatever it takes. On top of that I would like to break the mold of a lot of internet marketers out there being men and show that women can do it too!

I realize the power of The Guru’s Nightmare and know that 2010 is my year to shine and using social media by building my Google wealth will be the key to my future success because I know for certain that I will be a success! I need your personal guidance Alex because as you said that is what catapulted your success and you are the person that I would like personal support from to catapult my own success.

Lastly, as the great Napoleon Hill said “It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed.” You have proven this by helping so many others through your coaching program. I know that it will take hard work and determination to market effectively and follow a proven formula and that it will take time. I am ready to give before I get and am truly looking forward to working with you in the future! Thanks for all the great information, it will a breeze to reach 7 figures with your new company!!

Hello Alex,

I got 2 kids. 7 year old boy. 3 year old girl. I am out of work. Bought everything on the planet to make money to no avail. My wife supports me. I am trying desperately everyday to figure this thing out. I sit at the computer for hours upon hours with no results. I hang my head in my inability to give them what they need. They deserve better than this…I need help…

Hey Alex, thanks for the great info, your ebook really hit the nail on the head.

I’ve been online for a few years now and the income streams I’ve developed cover affiliate products, CPA and Adsense. I’ve had varying degrees of success with each and never stop testing and tweaking. However, I’ve never quite reached the level of success I’ve had offline.

Your ebook makes lots of sense and I like the fact that you practice what you preach, unlike a number of the so-called gurus out there. I’ve never been one to follow in other’s footsteps, but rather take action, track results and tweak campaigns, pages, headlines etc.

Don’t get me wrong, I do try to follow what’s happening in the IM world and adapt accordingly, but taking action is where it’s at. As long as I’m moving forward toward my goal I’d rather be earning and learning rather than just learning and learning.

I’m at the stage in IM that I know I would really benefit from a structured mentorship with a truly expert individual.

From what I’ve read and seen, you fit the bill to a “Tee”.

The well known saying; “When the student is ready, the master will appear.” seems quite apt. I’m reader “Master”, the question is…,

Are You Ready To Mentor Me To Be Your Most Successful Student Yet?

Seriously though, I’d love to be part of your mentorship program and look forward to the possibility of being one of the lucky ones.
Tony Crofts 04.01.10

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because …”

1) I have the motivation. I’ve been out of work for over a year and have a £90k interest only mortgage that is due to be paid in 4 years time and, apart from the mortgage, I’m currently £15k in debt. (Too many courses, too little results.) I too am in the UK so it is £’s in debt not $ in debt.

2) I have the desire. I have been on line almost since the start of the Internet but didn’t join in the IM world as I had little time out of the corporate world where I then lived. I also had the problem at that time of “What can I sell?” Didn’t want to do IM as I thought I wasn’t good enough to teach. Wish I knew then that most of those ‘teaching’ it knew less than I did. Being on line this long I’ve learned all the jargon and what it means. I’ve recently learned a bit about the technical side of making it all happen so now I really do want to get it all together and be heavily involved.

3) I know you are one of the best teachers. If you think you were inadequate before, heaven knows how good you are by now. I often get communications from your past students. I’ve studied how they have done things. I know from this studying and other marketers that your reputation for teaching is good and well deserved. One of the best for the style of marketing you teach.

4) I need the right plan I know too much but don’t really ‘know’ anything. It’s spinning my head and I need a plan to set me on the one path to getting an income. Much as I’d like the fortune, I’m realistic enough to know I have to start with an income.

5) Due to some health issues I can not do just any job and I need an income. I really couldn’t be back in middle management again. Working a keyboard suits me fine though.

6) My English is very good. I used to do proof reading of company documents. I often get annoyed a some of the bad spelling and grammar on the Internet but strangely I liked yours. Probably because you are honest about it and it’s still very readable phonetically. Like everybody I still make a few typo’s though.

Having read through Guru’s Nightmare I totally agree with what you said. As I said earlier I felt that I would have been doing what some of those scamsters did and I wouldn’t like to live with myself had I done that. Some of them are totally unaware that what they are offering is rubbish. They have a limited experience of the product they are pushing as that is all they know. Some are deliberately scamming though. I’m glad that it is at last becoming more respectable on the Internet even though it is driven by social networking. It is exposing these inadequate products and marketers that have been around for far too long. Better stop before I too go on a long tirade about poor value and swindlers.

Hope you will consider me for your coaching course. I just missed the last one, when I had some money.

Best wishes

Tony
steve 04.01.10

Yes Alex i want you to be my personal mentor because i am tired of the searching online for the ad thats gonna pull me out of this bullshit fantasy world of mine”making cash online,make ££$$££$$£ in 10 days,generate waves of new traffic,email lists,google ads” etc etc .To be honest i have to much data,lots of ideas about what i would do with a product,how can i promote that so called bloody product,what bloody product would it be?i love to think of something the people want ,some product the masses would think “thats good or yea thats the bollocks” i love certain products from the days gone by(retro stuff )for instance,i love the nike trainers old and new from the first pair that were made, i love space invaders……..the point i’m trying to make is i have far far to many bloody ideas on things i know about! Reading your book has finally (i hope)made me realise that without advertising & marketing the long road of trying to make money or make your own website etc etc etc is just like having a chocolate kettle or an ashtray on a motorbike.I have no real knowledge of traffic,email lists and all the other bollocks concerning internet marketing.I read GURUS NIGHTMARE,everything you stated,everything you said in that book,every peice of crap that gets sent to my inbox is eveything you said……i just want someone for ONCE to show me the way,the right way to be competent and able to create an income for me and my young boys…..i’m tired of the bullshit,tired of reading endless money making scams…….till the next time
Roger Neumann 04.01.10

Yes Alex, I want you to be my mentor again because your style of coaching and training is one that relates to me. You are not the “cookie cutter” guru out here today and I like your style and thinking out of the box methods.

Visionaries, you are one, are people that made the world as it is today. If it wasn’t for Edison and the light bulb, we would be in the dark today, You are NOW the light bulb shinning the way and correcting our path for success today. I would be honored and privileged to one of your five in the group. I know the material and information you will share with us will be a springboard to a bright future and the value will be PRICELESS!

You are the MAN!!!

Roger Neumann

Go out and make it a $ucce$$ful day!
Paul Dimmock 04.01.10

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I think you are one of the only marketers that I have come across that lay everything out on the table not holding any punches back. You teach it how it is Alex with no smoke screens. You hand out all the pieces of the puzzle. I have read all three of your reports and found them a great source of information.

I must admit though I am still hitting the ‘brick wall’ that stops me dead in my tracks. I feel if you was to mentor me, with your help I would have no problems in smashing down those brick walls. I know that I have the drive and pasion to become a winner with your help.

I think that if you was to mentor me, this would not only make me a better person but with my new found knowledge I would also like to help other people to start their own successful online business and help them the right way leaving nothing out.

If i can become three quarters of the marketer that you are Alex I would be over the moon and I know with you mentoring me I will also be able to gain the goals I have been trying to obtain since trying to start up my own business.

I not only would like the lifestyle that this type of business can offer for me and my family but I would also like to be in a position to be able to help people out that are not as fortunate as myself. I would also like to be able to donate money to my local childrens hospital that are always in need of help and to be able to put smiles on childrens faces that are unfortunately living on limited time.

With you mentoring me Alex I feel that I can not only help out my family but other people that so desperately need help.

So keep up the good work Alex and please, please, please, mentor me.

Best regards,

Paul Dimmock
Steve Oliphant 04.01.10

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because …”

Although I have had several Internet Windfalls (50k in a month from selling my own software and 20k in a month from google adsense) I have not successfully transformed that into a viable ongoing BUSINESS.

After reading this ebook I realize this is because I have been focusing on the tech stuff that you are outsourcing, and not on the MARKETING.

(Ironically, I actually teach the tech stuff, and teach some of what I have been calling marketing, but is really just technique for getting backlinks, driving traffic, etc. I realized after reading your ebook that this is also just tech stuff.)

I want to become a MARKETER!

Thanks,

-Steve
Stephen Ryan 04.01.10

Yes Alex I want you to be my mentor because……………

Here I am On Newbie Strret trying to learn how to cross over to Guru`s Highway.

Every way I Iook or turn the voices are saying BUY THIS IT WILL MAKE YOU RICH OVERNIGHT.The traffic of emails is blinding my vision.

Suddenly the answer is there on my computer screen “EUREKA”.

JUST TURN LEFT HERE AND ENTER NEWBIE STREET WITH MENTOR.

Finally, to be a student again would be a blessing.

Alex I`m in.

Best wishes and thanks for the book

Angus Mackenzie 04.01.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my tutor because I know in business you can either be doing “stuff” or making money. With Internet Marketing , marketing is making money and all the rest is just “stuff”

And I would like to learn from you how to market on the internet.

All the best

Eugene Garner 04.01.10

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because …”
Well, Duh’… what a no brainer!

To learn from a SUCCESSFUL marketer and get from chasing opportunities, to chasing profits, and for free! What a concept!

Although I have been way less than successful in my marketing attempts, I do see the changing paradigm of Internet marketing from a ‘ gimmee’ for information to a ‘learn while learning from me’. Clearly it is a win/win opportunity for both the teacher and student in the long run. The old concept for instant profit for the guru and maybe you might earn something if you can connect all the puzzle pieces.

I’m here to learn (and earn). I have no problem following a proven philosophy, but find the technology (tools, website building, etc) overwhelming and many times flawed and unworkable. That’s why many of us need to concentrate on the marketing and outsource to those things better talented in those areas.

I am not a salesman, so I can’t sell you on why I am one of your better candidates for mentoring. Just some honesty here. But I am committed.
Thanks for your ebook and consideration.

marcus passey 04.01.10

Hey Alex

Great report mate,

I need to read it again to take it all in, infact I intend to read all your reports again.
Might print them out for some holiday reading.

So you know im not here to try and win a place, I just wanted to stop by and wish everyone who has entered the very best of luck…

For whoever buys into your course or whoever wins a place, if they follow what you have laid out for them and they take action they will see results.

Back in 2009 I had nothing, I knew nothing, but now because of YOU Alex and because of the people I have met through you I am now becoming a success.

All our love and respect to you my man from the Passey family.

Speak soon

Marcus Passey
Lebert J. Brown 04.01.10

Yes Alex, I want you to be my personal coach because I’m determined to act upon this knowledge I’ve acquired as a result of reading your salient report.I’ve found every word of it to be true on the basis of my experience as one who has been struggling for years to find a legitimate online business, without success.

I think you have taken a very bold step in “spilling the beans” in the way you have.In so doing,you’ve been a huge help to many of us who have been “suffering”at the hands of those unscrupulous marketers who have been profiting extraordinarily from our ignorance.

I am now convinced that working with you will bring an end to my long period of search for a way to succeed in internet marketing.

Keep up the good work my friend and expected coach.

Lebert J.Brown.
LaTonya S. Johnson 04.01.10

Hi Alex,

I should definitely be one of the five(5)!

I am a single mom with a two year old (beautiful) daughter. I was born to succeed, and I’ve been searching for a mentor since at least 1999! I am a proven self starter, and seek to add as much $value$ to my mentor as he or she adds to me. This is no joke for me. I am determined to reach my destiny.

As the Apostle Paul, “I’ve been abased and abound.” Meaning I had great success in real estate prior to the melt down; yet when it melted so did my business. However, I am an entrepreneur at heart and see lots of potential in this business. It’s just a matter of getting the right information. I’ll put it to work, and you definitely won’t be sorry if you choose me as one of the 5!

God bless,

LaTonya
Edmarvin 04.01.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because for the past year and a half I’ve been struggling with marketing online. I think the main reason is because I have been procrastinating. I have read hundreds of ebooks and bought a few programs and went through them extensively so that I can learn new ways to market. In this report I noticed a point you made on getting started. That is my main issue, I have said that I am going to start marketing but then put it off by doing other tasks that will not help me get any further with my marketing. I feel that you are genuinely here to give away great information that is going to benefit anyone that reads it. I noticed that almost all the products I have purchased are based on hype and I don’t want to be that person hyping people up to buy my product. I want to be the Alex Jeffrey who is giving away great content for free which will in turn bring the money in the long run. I want you to choose me because I know you can kick me in the ass and make sure I get started and stop the procrastination!

Hopefully you will take me into consideration for your coaching!

Talk to you soon,

Edmarvin
suzanne 04.01.10

Hi
Seen the rest, tried the others, now I want the best mentor.

Have ideas and ready to work as hard as it takes. Spent time making some progress and hours going nowhere but just moving forward. I so want to succeed and have found that the support I need is not really available, until now.

Ready when you are…

Steve Steiner 04.01.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because the content of your e-book was totally new to me. Like most others, I have been focusing on BUILDING a business, not marketing. I finally started building a list by giving away a free video course on article marketing, with an sales offer of a course on writing articles. So far, I have had no conversions on the sales offer, but have had a few subscribers take advantage of the free offer. It is a start, and after reading the “Guru’s Nightmare”, I realize that I need to focus on learning marketing. I have been stuck in the rut of just checking emails, buying this and that, and I had come to the realization on my own that buying more products was NOT doing my business any good. I know I need to market what I have, but I need help with the marketing aspect.
I hope to be one of the lucky five chosen for the free coaching.
Thanks,
Steve
Jason James 04.01.10

Dude, I’m proud of you.. I remember how we originally met at Tim’s Knox’ seminar and all of our late night chats on MSN messenger… you’ve come so far its AMAZING.. Just goes to show everyone what a person can do when they are motivated and refuse to give up on their dreams.

What you have going here with your coaching program is really special… Once again, i’ll will be interesting to see who the smart ones are who sign up and start living the life they dreamed of… it’s really not that far off.. ESPECIALLY with a fantastic mentor like you.

Keep rocking dude…!!

john greathouse 04.01.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because you walk the walk not just talk th

talk. I have learned that to be successful in any business you must have a mentor that is

doing on a daily basis what it is you want to learn from them.

I have done my research on you Mr. Jeffreys, and with so many people on the internet

saying GOOD things about you and your products and coaching all of these people can

not be wrong!!!

As I was reading your free E-book I saw myself over and over again. Doing exactly the same things you were talking about. Chasing new products and the next great thing all the while knowing this was not going to really get me anywhere.

I need a mentor I can have faith in. I believe my faith in you is well founded. I need to get off the merry-go-round and get to work DOING what will make me money in the long term.

I need the organizational skills and to be able to put all the different parts together in the

right order and to see the whole picture. The ONLY people who can help anyone do this

is someone like you that does what he is coaching on a daily basis in his own business.

I have never been able to afford the expensive coaching that I know I need but I can guarantee you if chosen I would take the opportunit by the horns and give it everthing I had.

Sincerely,

john

Chad van Norman 04.01.10

Hello Alex,

Looks like we started out online around the same time. I went full time with Internet marketing in Jan 2004. Since that time I have made several websites, some that were converting “Ok”, and lots that totally bombed.

The one thing that I have never done is got any type of coaching. It is always too expensive and I can’t afford to purchase it at the time.

I would be really honored if I was chosen to be one of the lucky people to get the free coaching from you, as I can see that your students do well after your coaching.

Richard Diaz 04.01.10

Alex I want you to be my mentor because I’m fed up with spending a ton of money. I really want to help my family and their family. And of course I like helping other people. I have 2 credit card bills and one loan that I took on from someone else that could not pay it. The total being about $13,000. As you can see in my email address, i started in 2002. Since then, I spent money on e-commerce, ebooks, products, and have signed up for free products which I landed to buy another product.
I read your ebook and was amazed. Everything you mentioned, in my case was true. I just recently got a free site (which cost me $197.97 for hosting). And another nich which I am paying 47.00/month. I’m glad I read your book! I really want to get off the ground and get started.
Thanks.
Richard
Jimmy Williams 04.01.10

Alex, this is what’s up in internet marketing. The one thing that I have noticed in your book and in a lot of the material that I have read from you is that you are putting the marketing, back into internet marketing. Too many times we all get hyped up about how much money someone else is making and never implement what they are doing. You have certainly applied what you have learned and are taking it to a whole nother level. I have taken many courses and have bought tons of them, far too many times there are nuggets of info, but not enough to make a meal. It seems as if you are prepared to give the whole meal and I am ready to eat. That’s why I would love the opportunity for you ,Alex to be my mentor.
As I stated earlier I have purchased many programs, ebooks and even won some coaching programs. But the one thing that was missing was the mentorship. It seems that everyone that I have met that has a great deal of success has a personal mentor. That would be absolutely awesome for my personal business, life, and community.
Cheers,
Jimmy Williams
Nicky Perfect 04.01.10

Hi
I would like you to mentor me because we have the same values. All the information on my website bar the affiliate pages I give free to my readers. I have made a pact with myself that I will always provide info to others that I honestly believe is good and always act with the utmost integrity. I send quite a few articles to ezines and article base and am beginning to attract traffic.I get quite abit from PPC but this costs me a lot with very low returns.
I have spent $10000 with an American company who have provided me with a lot of info but I am a prospect and get side tracked so easily. The videos are great but sometimes I get a bit lost with info overload and there isn’t a strategy.
I work full time and spend 3-4 hrs every night and at least a full weekend day trying to make things work. So far I haven’t done very well because I get side tracked, although I am getting better by writing down the 6 most important things I need to do and getting them done.
I know I need a mentor and I am willing to pay but am in the catch twenty two of trying to pay off the previous bill.
I’m pleased to see you reply to your comments, I always send an email to anyone who signs up as I think it is very important to be honest and thank people for their time. In this day and age it can be easy to forget about really helping others rather than just making a quick buck…………..so thanks for restoring my faith in professional IMs.
Whatever happens I will continue till I have reached my target and goal which is by the 18th Jan 2013 to have £870,000 in my bank.
Thank you
Nicky…….yes that really is my surname!!!
PS my site might help you get the body you desire for your trip……….my goodness see what your book has done!!:-)

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because: I have been at this for longer than I am willing to admit. After reading your report I realize I have not scratched the surface of leaning IM. I will rededicate myself to leaning IM. I know a mentor I can believe it would greatly shorten the leaning curve.

Saleem Rana 04.02.10

Hi Alex,

I carefully read your whole ebook. I learned many distinction, too many to go into here, and I thank you for sharing your insights. The idea of the difference between a marketer and a prospect really hit home. I’m really interested in learning more about your coaching program.

Sincerely,

Saleem Rana
Michael 04.02.10

I invested the time today to read your 100 page ebook. The only reason I did that was because I know of your reputation. I have read all of your ebooks and this was by far the best. I don’t know of any internet marketer who is as revealing as you are. People should realize that you spent thousands of dollars to learn this information from your mentors. You certainly didn’t learn this business for “Free.” Here you are offering 5 lucky people an opportunity for “Free” coaching. I appreciate what you are doing and wish you luck in selecting the 5 students.
Freddie 04.02.10

Yes Alex, I want you to be my personal mentor because … I’ve just read your ‘Gurus Nighmare’ ebook and saw the transparency of your message. I am not going to pretend what I am not. I am a Real Estate Newbie and have been studying courses since 2007 with 0 actions taken. Have no clue about the first thing on marketing other than what I just read in your ebook. I have an email tracking system, squeeze pages, and a few other systems from this system called Realeflow, now called Open Road 3.0 from Greg Clements and I can surely use one of the five positions. I be honest with you, my credit cards are maxed out and right now this opportunity can be the differences between starting my business or call quit. But I know I am not a quiter and so, maybe it’ll take me a little longer than I thought. Will you make me your next student success story? I am dissable and have all the time in the world at home to study marketing and put countless hours into this opportunity. The same countless hours I will put into marketing once I learn the roaps.

Thank you and keep up the good work!

Yes, Alex I want u to be my personal mentor… because having read your report, gurus nightmare, I can now see the reason why I have not been able to make it online for the past 4 years. Although, I have this belief that if others can make it online, I can. But your report revealed to me so much that i do not know is causing the road block. Now am totally broke as a result of buying those stuff from self acclaimed gurus without result to show for it. With you as my personal mentor, I know i can start making money immediately knowing what I need to know with easy.

Why do I want coaching with Alex Jeffreys?
I just read all your Gurus Nightmare report and I am very impress with you.
I see you look like a honest person and know something very real you tell: Everybody needs a menthor to success and I think you are the right one.
I am a retired woman, living in Colombia, South America..trying to be succesfull on internet since a couple of years, but until this moment I could’n get any money…You write the path I had been for a long months, feeling with too many information and not know what to do with that….Really I feel I need a menthor, and I want you to be my menthor.
Hope you choose me !!!!!!!!
And thanks for share knowledge with people…
Ron 04.02.10

What’s up Alex,
First off, let me start by saying this it’s about d!*# time! Somebody has finally stepped up to the plate and flashed light on the dark guru secrets of making money online. I’m passionate about making money online to provide a better life for me and my family. This very passion also makes me gullable to the loads of crap on the internet. I’ve spent both unneccassary time and money trying find that one program that would enable me to live the dream. Thus far all I’ve come up with are empty promises and vain hope. This was the mind set I had until I read your ebook. The enlightenment of your knowledge and experience has intesified my desire to be a very successful internet marketer. I’m an awesome student and a great team player. All I need is a great coach. I honestly believe that’s you. You need me because I’m one of your next successful students. I’ll represent you well and add to your long line of successful students. I need you in order to make this happen. Thanks I look forward to training.
Martin 04.02.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because …

I know two things :

1. Marketing is the key
2. I s*ck at marketing …

Plus, using techniques used by someone (you)
who has made his proofs in the english market
would be interesting to test out in the french
market, which is the one I would like to be in.
(My mother tongue is french … )

I already tried to give away things … but with
a 100 prospects list in 4 months … and no sale :S
I need good advice.

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I’ve been studying Internet Marketing off and on for over fifteen years and while I’ve learned a lot, I have never been able to put it all together properly. Over the past nine months, my studying has become very intense, and I have come to realize that I definitely need a mentor in order to succeed. Unfortunately, mentor funding is out of the question. Luckily, I spotted the incomplete guru tactics years ago and have not spent money on their empty products and promises. I’ve just been studying them. You’ve given me some new insights and confirmed many of my considered conclusions.

My wife had a stroke last summer, the medical bills are astronomical, and the need for increased income has never been more apparent. Our late-life savings are gone. I have to be home-based to watch over her and being sixty-six years old, my options are limited. An Internet business is about my only option and I have a high degree of interest in it.

I’ve been an entrepreneur most of my life and have started, built and sold several small businesses. Not all attempts were successful, but I learned from my mistakes. That “school of hard knocks” stinks. The tuition is way too high. I still have a small computer repair shop that I’ve owned for ten years, but I had to move it back home and off Main Street after my wife’s stroke.The income it now produces is no longer sufficient for our needs. Quite frankly, I’m bored stupid with it anyway. I want out! I can’t wait to get rolling on my Internet business obsession, but need some direction..

I’m a typical entrepreneur and I usually want to have my controlling hand on everything. This will be my biggest hurdle to overcome. My youngest son is unemployed, a software wiz, and I have invited him to share in the Internet business. He’s a great young man.

I’ve always believed in over delivering on a promise and giving some services away free.. The value of this became very apparent to me when my customers asked me to run for a seat on the Township Board of Directors because they liked they way I do honest business. I filed the papers but did not campaign. My customers campaigned for me! I won the election. (The job pays $130/month and I love it.)

My passions are copywriting and teaching. I did not realize how much I enjoy teaching until recently. I have used some of my basic knowledge to help an ex-employee get an ecommerce site up and running. It’s strange, but I started teaching her how to run a business and not how to build it. It just seemed natural. Your book hit me square between the eyes.

It’s rare to find someone on the internet who just flat lays it out in blunt honesty. In that regard, I rank your book up with “Think and Grow Rich” and Wattles book, “The Science of Getting Rich.” Thank you for being out there as a breath of fresh, honest air.

Life has humbled me to the point that I can be led like the newbie child I am. I would be honored to be your student.

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my Mentor because I just like you am running on a treadmill.My treadmill is that of life,forever turning but not going anywhere.Just like everyone else on here,I have an inbox that is full of “get rich in 30 days or less” e-mails.Though I have not opted in to any of these yet,as you had stated they are all full of Hype {or promises} but have or hold no value! I will not B.S. you,I lost my job in Nov 2009, my wife was diagnosed with Cancer {breast} in Dec 2009 and underwent surgery Feb 2010. We do not look at this as “Bad Luck”,but as an oppurtunity to change the way we view and live our lives.We are in our 40′s and have not seen our kids in almost a year,do to the fact we live in different states.The money that was saved to go visit has since been used on medications for the cancer,if fortunate enough to be chosen as one of those to be Mentored by you,it would truly be a Blessing.If not,I will still follow your teachings and hopefully one day have the money to hire you.We are all given a break in life that is positive at some point and I do hope this is it. If whomever is chosen wants to pass on what they Learn, feel free to give them my information. Thank you for your time…Darrell

Hi Alex,
I read your report from start to finish and I think you’ve really hit the nail on the head with this one! I’ve been online a;most a year now and I went thru the process of being a PROSPECT …it was a nightmare ha ha! I’ve just realized in February after being on Chris frevilles coaching program that becoming a MARKETER Online is the key to success online!
Alex this is where I need your help! I want to become an Expert Marketer and have the last laugh with all the nay sayers in my family.
Can you help me to do this? besides I want to meet all these great marketers in person one day myself…like Rich Sheffron….you know! :-) Brocha

Kyle 04.02.10

Yes, Alex, I want you to be my personal mentor because I am 100% committed to finding success online.

You have no idea how close I came to deleting the email that linked to you Guru’s Nightmare report. The email came from a marketer who I bought an SEO product from. The content was decent and a good value for the price. But since that initial offer, he’s basically been spamming me with an endless chain of affiliate offers.

The last one was a “business in a box” offer similar to the type you mentioned in Guru’s Nightmare. It was a thinly veiled affiliate offer where you get a pre-made site “ready to begin making tons of cash immediately.” And all you had to do was sign up for a hosting account to host the site.

I signed up because I actually wanted an account with that particular host but knew he was merely looking for a commission – I checked their affiliate program and it’s pretty lucrative. As it turns out, the “ready-made” site is pretty useless unless you have a mailing list. You can’t edit it so I don’t see where you can do much to drive any organic traffic toward it. But luckily, he had an affiliate link to another “free” program that could help me there. It was “free” for a week, followed by a monthly subscription fee.

That was about a week ago, and I receive some sort of email from this marketer at least once a day. I was about to send him an email telling him why I was going to unsubscribe from his list, and then came the link to Guru’s Nightmare.

I’m not sure what it was about the email that kept me from deleting it. It was probably because it sounded like it would be educational and not like an affiliate offer.

All I can say is, I’m glad I clicked that link!

I read Guru’s Nightmare straight through. It’s what I’ve instinctively felt for quite a while and was the most refreshing read I’ve had for a long time. Thank you.

MY STORY: (This may sound a bit familiar to you)

I’ve been trying to figure out how to make money online for over a year now. I’ve yet to earn my first commission. I’m afraid to add it all up, but I know I’ve spent well into the thousands of dollars on products to make money online. I guess you’d say I’ve been a prospect and not a marketer.

It’s exactly as you put it in Guru’s Nightmare. Every product I’ve purchased is missing a piece. So, like an IM crack junkie, I keep looking to the next product for the answer. But it never comes. I get caught up in trivial, time wasting endeavors and am really no closer to earning money online today than I was a year ago.

The funny (sad) thing is, I’ve picked up quite a bit of knowledge along the way. At times I feel like I’m so very close to getting there. Then I look at the calendar to see another month has gone by and I haven’t accomplished much at all.

One of the few marketers out there I have some trust in once said that there are a lot of ways to make money online. And there are a lot of people out there offering different ways to do it. He said that the key is to pick one, focus on it, and see it through. He urged to stop being a serial product buyer and stick with one method – whether it be his or someone else’s.

That was six months ago. His words stuck with me even though my actions didn’t change. And it was because I couldn’t figure out the missing pieces in his approach. I remember thinking that I’d surely be able to get past the hump if only I could lean on him personally for some personal training.

I’ll lay out my personal situation for you because it bears on why I think you should pick me as one of the five for your personal coaching program. This is not a sympathy ploy. I’m 100% accountable for where I am in my life today.

I’m about to turn 47 years old. I’m a well-educated, divorced father of two (15 and 13). The last couple of years have been a bit difficult financially. My divorce was expensive, and the bills eventually caught up with me. When the housing market turned south, I found myself sitting on a property that was worth half of what I bought it for. My loan was maturing and the mortgage payment was set to double. I had over $50,000 in unsecured debt.

I ended up walking away from the home and filing bankruptcy. I was working in construction sales and earning a six-figure income. Last fall, as the economy continued to struggle, I lost my job.

I’m pretty capable so that normally wouldn’t be that big of an issue, but employers now check your credit as part of the hiring process. With a bankruptcy and foreclosure on my record, I’m pretty much out of luck when it comes to traditional employment.

I’ve been working as a contract employee on a commission basis for a company that does sales outsourcing. I like it to a certain extent and I’m covering my expenses, but I’m obsessed with figuring out the puzzle to making money online. It’s really the first time in my life when I’ve been clear on what it is I want to do to make a living.

To me, all of the arrows are lining up in the same direction. It sounds kind of weird, but I think this is my destiny. In Napoleon Hill’s classic, “Think And Grow Rich,” he talks about having a “burning desire to succeed” as a critical component to financial success. I’ve read that book at least three times. I finally feel like I truly understand what that burning desire is all about.

Finding success as an internet marketer is something I want badly. It’s something I need for myself and my family. And I now know I’m going to get there. I’m truly grateful to you for the Guru’s Nightmare report. It revealed the biggest missing piece of all…. I need a mentor.

I sincerely hope you choose me. I guarantee you I’ll become a fantastic success story. But either way, you’ve given me something in this report of incredible value. On top of my list of things to do – FIND A MENTOR. Thanks again, Alex.
Craig 04.02.10

Hey up Alex!

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because …”

Thanks for the FREE report. It was a very interesting read. I had to read it over a couple of days due to work commitments and family. Hell the day job can get in the way of Marketing online.

I have been marketing online seriously for about a year now. I have a couple of niche site up and running and I am planning to start my own blog very soon. I feel I am ready for a mentor to push me and guide me in the right direction and feel you can give this to me Alex.

I did dabble online about 5 years ago but had not guidance or plan to work with and gave it up. Then I had some hard times with my offline business and came back online. I will succeed now and I am determined and dedicated to gain the FREEDOM that an online business can give. I will not stop until I can become a Full time Internet Marketer.

I feel it’s not about the money (which will help with keep my wife off my back) but the time that I can spend with family and friends and also helping others in this IM world.

You did invite me to your coaching last year but due to the funds I could not attend. So this opportunity has landed just about the right time. I have been on other coaching course, which have been good and I have learnt a lot. I feel the next stage is to have a mentor that you can turn too in difficult times and actually show what works and what works best for your time and efforts. So what I can’t make up for in cash, I can in blood sweat and tears. If your willing to give me this chance then I am willing to give you the time and dedication.

Thank You for this opportunity and will be looking forward to the webinar and future emails.

Cheers

Craig

Thanks for trying Alex, but I am so low on confidence that it would be a waste offering me one of the coaching spots.

Good luck to the five that are chosen.
Jason Call 04.02.10

You know Alex, I just recently started reading your books and became a
suscriber, i do have to tell you that you have an incredible marketing ability
to touch on peoples emotions as you have touched on mine.. I have been wracking my brain on what reasons i can give to become your student..

As i have been sitting here thinking in bed with my girl, who is in her second
trimester by the way, So YES she is enraged with hormones which doesnt help in
my online quest(nonbeliver).. and she constantly tells me to get a real job-
that i will never succeed. its jsut a pipe dream … blah blah blah.. well
shes asleep and i am on here WORKING- writing a newsletter for my 55
subscribers…

i AM putting in the effort..

and Yes, i have failed at many
things in my life.. I gambled all of my inheritance away.., i also Drank For
Many years .. Played poker for a living and lost my whole bankroll in one
session.. lost THOUSANDS as a pool player— does the term SUCKER mean anything
to you??

I recently realiazed that i had to make a change..and i believe it was my son
who is the reason for this.. he is 3 years old as well and his name is chase.
he has not spoken yet and we dont know why.. they dont think he has autism as he
scored high in anything not to do with speech.. he gets along fine, but i
would love to have a conversation with him.. but i just went off on a tangent..

YES i do love my son and i have made these changes for him..
and he is a big
part of why i have entered this internet marketing arena..

I know that i am GREAT..

and All my friends and family think that i am a JOKE.. i have been told to my face before,,

Regardless of whether i end up working with you or not, i am going to make this
happen, because i have no other avenue..
I have to change my life and my sons life. I am now 36 and if i dont do
something, i will end up a crinkled old man someday very soon… a very bitter
broke one.— ok that ending was a bit dramatic but it gets my point across.

thanks..

Hey Alex,

“Yes ,Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because……

MY time has come to be successful! Just ask Katie to write down what is written below and put it on the fridge as a reminder:

” Motherhood is the toughest 24-hour, life-time job,

No pay, no days off, no qualifications or training given, and most often unappreciated, and yet, resignation is impossible! ”

Well, guess what? I’m ready to semi-retire from Motherhood. My youngest son is 13, and while they still need me……they aren’t as NEEDY!

If I’m perfectly honest, money is a huge motivator but, for me, it’s more about actually achieving something worthwhile (growing a business) and making my husband and kids proud of me. I’ve spent such a long time being a wife and mother, and so grateful that I was able to always be there for my kids but, it’s time to ‘ up the game plan! ‘

I loved reading Gurus Nightmare, although, just wondering if you have a secret camera hidden in my ‘office’? I ask because even though you didn’t actually print my name, I swear you were talking about me! Mmm……I’d better go and put some make-up on, JUST in case.

We all have legitimate reasons for wanting to be 1 of the lucky 5, and I don’t envy your position in having to pick just 5 Alex! Good luck!

Kindest regards,

Julie.
Pete 04.02.10

Hi Alex.
It was a pleasure to read your report Guru’s Nightmare. The most informative report i have read in a long time. Described me to a tee. Bought everything acted on 90% of it, have seen little or no results. Usual crap.
I would like to tell you a story. I received a phone call about 2 months ago from some guy in the states ( i live in Bristol UK ). Now this guy claimed he could teach me and help me get my business up and running no problem, i had never had contact with this man before or even heard of him. Anyway he gave me his sales pitch and i listened, sounded good, debt free in 3 months and very rich in 12 months, perfect. Then came the crunch, he wanted my credit card details over the phone there and then, telling me i had to pay him $8000, did this guy think i was completely nuts. Nobody in there right mind would do this, ( sadly there are people that do. ) Anyway i was not parting with my money. I had a brain wave, i made this guy an offer. If he was so confident he could get me off the ground and earning money then i would pay him a commission. I offered him 20% of my first years earnings, no think about this, he wanted $8000 i was offering him 20% of my earnings, by his calculations that would have been in excess of $20.000. You know what happened next, the phone went dead. Never heard from my friend again.
I wish there were more people like you Alex,
Honest.
Best regards
Pete
Rosemary G 04.02.10

No Alex, I am not asking you to be my mentor, much as I would love to apply but after reading the other requests there appear to be others a lot more needy than me. But I did want to tell you how much I enjoyed your book, once I got past the typos *s* and say it was an interesting insight into your mindset, I learnt quite a lot ..thank you!

Some of the replies you have above sound really desperate and have no internet skills, whilst I can be thankful at least I am able to build websites, write good articles, and reasonable copy, which hasn’t got me very far financially yet, but I believe in myself enough to put it all together and am doing this full time + so will succeed. I did have a chuckle over the fact that a few of the applicants you have above are the very same marketers emailing me daily with their latest offers and tales of financial success. Questionable to say the least?

Yes Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because you have all the skills I’ve been searching on the Internet for quite sometime now. I have finally found a true Marketer with integrity and superior knowledge of how to truly make money Online. I’m really fortunate to have found you, and I can’t wait to learn all I can from you. Your Tops in my book, and thanks for giving me a new direction in Internet Marketing.
Peter 04.02.10

Alex, I want you to be my personal mentor because I am going to post this information in the next day or so on my new personal blog:

“Hi, my name is Peter and this is not your typical ABOUT ME page. I’m 54 years old, single and live in one the most beautiful cities in the United States, San Francisco. I have never described my personal life online before so this is something that is a little frightening for me.

It is no understatement to say that I now live, and have so for many years, with tremendous daily suffering. Unfortunately, there is a history of Severe Clinical Depression that runs in my family and I inherited that illness.

In my younger days I was an outstanding athlete, having received a college scholarship for wrestling. My illness first came on at age 19, as is often the case with these types of genetic conditions. My college life was interrupted for a couple of years until I could be treated with the proper type of medication.

After recovery, I finished college and went on to Law School. After one year in Law School, which I absolutely loved, I became seriously ill again. This time even on medication, I never regained my full cognitive capacity to ever return to Law School. By the age of 30 I knew my dream of becoming a Lawyer was never going to happen.

After a particularly long hospitalization in 1988, I needed to go to a halfway house for several months because I was too ill to live on my own. At that house there was a sewing machine. In the hospital it was clear to me that I could not concentrate enough to read but I was able to concentrate on art as a way to occupy my mind.

At the house, I began to take clothes apart and learned about patterns. I taught myself how to sew and made myself a leather jacket. As I regained my ability to function again, I began to take part-time classes at an Apparel Design School. I had tremendous difficulty reading the assignments but was able to figure out how to construct garments in my mind.

My illness had rendered cognitive deficits in my abilities but I found a way around that by using the part of my brain that was not affected. I became a master tailor and designer as a result of my training. After design school I actually had my own line of clothes that were sold in major department stores and boutiques around the country from 1992-1996.

I started to slowly become more ill in 1996 as the new medication I was taking began to lose its effectiveness. The clothing business was also not really that profitable so it was a good time to shut down operations on that scale. From 1997 to 2004 I did custom work from my home for personal clients. I would design, cut, sew and tailor men’s and women’s suits for select clients who would pay me $1,500-$3,000 for my work.

I was hospitalized again in 2004 because of a medication change and since that time I have not been able to design clothes because of lack of energy. I also knew that I needed to find a way to create an income that does not rely on me having to deal with people directly: an income that keeps coming regardless of my ability to function on a day-to-day basis.

That is how I got into Internet Marketing in early 2008. Since that time I have worked the business as much as I could and have learned a lot in that period of time. I have had many failures but I am beginning to see some success too. I now have an income that is ranging from $400 – $500 per month. I am putting much of that money back into the business to continue growing.

I now know that it is possible to reach my goal of a significant full-time income over the coming years. This will free me from the shackles of living on disability income in one of the most expensive cost of living cities in America. I can’t wait for that day to come and I am using all the energy I have to reach my goal.

Many individuals who know me are concerned that I have very little social contact with other people because my illness causes a myriad of problems and I isolate myself. I had many girlfriends over the years when I wasn’t so ill, but because of my condition I never married. Today, I’m not really well enough to have a girlfriend or a close relationship because I am simply too ill. Hopefully, things will change in the future.

I hope that sharing this personal information with you is not bumming you out or making you feel sorry for me. That is not my intent. As you can see, I’m still here fighting and trying to make money so that life will be easier for me. I just want to be honest about my condition so that if I can’t answer every email or get to the computer some days, you now know why.

I want to inspire you to make the income you want online so that you can better your life and live more comfortably. With that money you can travel and see the world. For me, a full-time income would take a lot of pressure off of my financial worries and there is always the hope a new medication will come onto the market that restores my life to some semblance of normal.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Thanks for reading, now let’s go make some money!

Sincerely,
Peter “
Paul E McDonald 04.02.10

With much gratitude, Alex, for this report, I am hoping and praying for a shot for you to be my mentor! I was driven to IM out of necessity late 2008. My wife and I were chosen to raise 4 of our grand children after some serious neglect from their parents. They came to us the day before Thanksgiving in 2008. 3 weeks before Christmas, I was released from my job as a maintenance man for Burger King because of cutbacks. I haven’t been able to find a job since that time, (our unemployment rate in this area is 23%), and have bought course after course from ‘guru’s', with little to no luck. As you can imagine, raising 4 kids can get expensive…and our savings is literally gone! I’m scared to death Alex! I spend 10 to 14 hours a day in front of the computer, trying ANYTHING that might get some money into this house. I want my kids…(yes, we are in the process of adopting) to have a real chance in this world. I want everything for them….and I would like to have the time to enjoy them. I’m sure you know this feeling, especially since your son was born. I am grateful for the chance to be accepted!! Your report has REALLY opened my eyes!
Thank you,

Thank you Alex for such an informative and hard hitting -”the truth hurts”, report. Yes, like many of the other readers of your report I jumped in head first without a plan or even a good solid concept of what I was doing or was suppossed to be doing to get it right. Still trying. The emails come by the hundreds but the most enlightening one has been the one from you inviting me to read your Gurus Nightmare. I read from start to finish without being distracted and absorbed everything that you wrote. I work full time and have seen my collegues trying to market their sales leads and seen their frustration when a lead falls through. (I am the Accounts Manager) so I am not involved in their marketing strategies but it is only logical when you think about it that there must be a plan in place first. I would love the opportunity to be taught by someone who knows the ropes and can explain it the way you have.. Thanks again Alex for the eye opener and I will be following your advice from now on.

Yes ,Alex i want you to be my personal mentor because….

While reading your report( which is very revealing about ones self) I realized that i was in the
exact places you describe as far as my online business attempts.I have bought courses that have done nothing to help me get started .It seems that online marketers and seller take for granted that everyone comes into this online game with some level of competence and understanding of the game.Well ,we all don’t !! I have long thought that if someone would teach all the steps of the journey from turning your computer on to having that first 6 figure year (everything in between) that that person would be the biggest asset to online marketing and business hopefuls everywhere.I think you may be that person.This is not for your ego,just my opinion.Thank you for the report.

Hi Alex,
I’d love you to be my mentor as I could hear your voice coming through your report. It got stronger as you talked about how passionate you are for others to succeed and how much mentors mean to you. I checked out your youtube links and saw many happy people who have really benefited from working with you. I know I would benefit too. Thanks for the inspiration and the key elements of a plan to move my business forward.

Need a Mentor NOT a Guru 04.02.10

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because after 11 months of learning from the so called ‘Gurus’ of the IM industry and spending $7,500 for a IM program with no results, yesterday afternoon I finally saw the light when your unique, no nonsense ebook ‘Gurus Nightmare’ landed in my inbox. I am ready to stop responding to the mass daily emails with flashy sales pages that only deliver a bag full of saw dust. I am fully committed to learning the ropes from a mentor like you. My aim is not just to make money but to also master IM and educate others in future. Many thanks”.
Claire Mears 04.02.10

WOW! Amazing offer Alex! I’ve just read through your ebook for the second time and love your no bs writing style – a definite ‘lightbulb’ moment going on for me at the moment :-)

Yes, Alex I WANT you to be my personal mentor because I desperately need a proven plan to reach my desire for financial freedom for my family. I am a mum of three gorgeous girlies. My ever-suffering hubby has been so supportive of my online ventures and our ever increasing credit card bills. I have been ‘studying’ IM for just over a year and bought into so many crap programs – buying through desperation. I have made some pretty bad calls when it comes to buying into the ‘Gurus Promises’, but I guess that’s a path a lot of newbies take in the beginning. I seriously have the biggest case of information overload/paralysis!! Spike, my hubby works 7 days a week and I work 2 part time jobs and run 2 mlm companies just to keep the hounds at bay! I will work all through the night to make my online business work and know with your coaching I will succeed in helping others.

All the best Alex

**Marketing WITH You ** mentoring request – first of all, I appreciate all of your give a way material. You resonate with my goals to be honest, carry high integrity to the market place and to maintain a “remarkable” reputation. I am a classic entrepreneuer who has tried many times to create super successful businesses. The internet is the biggest business bastion of opportunity the world has ever known. I want to make my impact on others by creating the business model you describe and maintain. I like to give away today and offer them to buy tomorrow. I have several Great Ideas. One is patented and another is geared to expand a $155 billion dollar industry. I want to flock with you and your mentors to accomplish these goals – online. If I am selected, you will have a financial incentive to help me build the business. I need to build the framework and execute as time is all I have. I have already pumped $4,500 into a “do it yourself mentoring program” that has offed me an education of information. I agree that I need to spend most of my “working time” on marketing. I had dug down deep, too deep and would like a Great Mentor!

I just finished reading your “Guru Nightmare” report – started last night and finished this morning over coffee. You know Alex, you write like you think; as though you were sitting across the table from me having coffee. But, I guess that’s just part of your marketing arsenal, isn’t it? : )

Your 95 page report was a really nice read, because it was more like reading a story…and everyone likes listening to a good story. Most gurus out there will do their best to give you the best content they have, but you put a sense of realism to it. You put a story behind the content.

I have nothing against any info that is pure content. Heck, I have a bookshelf full of content and facts and figures. Whenever I need those facts and figures I know exactly where to go.

…if I may digress for a moment…

I once took a Sociology class taught by a certain Professor. I sucked at Sociology, but I loved listening to my prof. He had a way with words. He was the most interesting Professor I ever had. I kinda wish my Psychology prof was like that.

Anyway, I ended up with a B+ average.

…Moral of that story: –
“It’s not so much WHAT you say, it’s HOW you say it that counts”.

If you say the words right, I will listen! Only then will I learn.

So Alex, why would I want to be coached by you?

Because I would actually listen to you…and not just take your information and file it away with all my other “facts and figures”.

I already have most of the “building” skills and some marketing skills necessary to get a site going and even have a a few set up and earning a tiny bit of income – pocket change really : (

No Alex, I’m not a complete newbie. I’ve now graduated to the “still wanna-be” stage.

…and I think it’s time I started graduating to a higher level…with your help Alex.

I know I already have most of the skills and many of the puzzle pieces. I just need help putting it all together.

In conclusion, I have read some of the comments above me and some of them are in dire straits and in really desperate need of your help, Alex. I wish them well and much luck in being chosen…

…BUT – I hope you choose me anyways… : )

Joe

PS – Did I mention that I liked your report?
John Seay 04.02.10

Hi Again Alex,

I want to reiterate my appreciation for your “Guru’s Nightmare,” in that I’m no longer a Prospect, but a Marketer. Just in the last few days, I’ve saved several hundred dollars, because I’ve learned to resist the offers that are bombarding me from right to left online. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your marvelous teachings.

I’ll see you at the top,
John Seay, “Bornrich!”

Alex,

I tried 2 years ago to start making money online. It didn’t work out the way I wanted to.

Since then I have successfully made 5 figures in real estate transactions using only $10 to buy a house and resell it within 24 hours. Because of my success in this field, I have learned several lessons that I plan on carrying over to my second attempt at making money online.

I learned the following:

- Treat it like a business and not a hobby
- Learn to manage all the different variables that we have control over and influence the ones that we can’t control
- The learning never stops. The world is constantly evolving and we need the education to keep up.
- Its OK to make a ton of mistakes as long as we learn from them and keep moving forward on our goals. We only lose when we give up on our goals.
- It’s important to have people around you who have already had massive success with what you are doing.

Alex, if you choose me as 1 of the 5 who you give free access to your $20,000 coaching program, the success story is already written.

Thanks for the opportunity.

Pat Jacobs 04.02.10

“Why you would like Alex Jeffreys as your personal coach, who will take you by
the hand and build your online business for you, in order to make sure you
become the next success story?”

Actually, I *don’t* want you, Alex, to “build my online business for me”.

If that happened it wouldn’t be my business – it would be your business that I operated.

What I would love, however, if for you to guide me directly in setting up and building *my* online business.

So I’d love you to mentor me and help me achieve success doing my thing with your guidance, criticism, advice, suggestions etc.

Cheers,

Pat
Larry Fabert 04.02.10

Hey Alex, An incredible READ…………..Thank You for the awesome Report,

Inspiring and motivating to say the least ! It is so refreshing to connect with Real Deal.
I would love to have the opportunity to jump in the tank with you.

Thanks Again Alex, The best to you and yours, Larry
James Wilson 04.02.10

Alex, It would be a pleasure to be one of your students and I have to tell you. I have 8 pages of notes from studying your Gurus Nightmare e-book over the last 3 days. Thank You very much for the valuable information and I also see myself benefiting from a 90 day reprieve just to have more time spent “MARKETING” and deleting so much info overload that piles up in several inboxes. Thanks Alex!
Lea 04.02.10

i am so busy that I have looked into all this affiliate marketing stuff but don t know where to start

So since i will probably not become your latest student even though that would be cool

I would love for you to tell me what other resources or e books you have so I could buy one

Thanks

Good luck
Yolanda 04.02.10

Yes, Alex I would like you to be my mentor becourse : It just took me just about the whole of Good Friday (with all the other interuptions as a mother) to read your e-book. SO MUCH READING AND LEARNING AGAIN!! What can I say? SO: I am now quoting YOU if I say – You said in your e-book everyone needs a mentor, and I need one desperately! After buying, down loading, reading, learning, taking advise and more of the same for the last 8 months now had enough and I need to now take action!! So I DARE YOU TO BE MY MENTOR as this will truely be a challenge to you, but I will also try my utmost to be 1 of the best students at 55. We are ALL just trying to make money and it is kind of you to do what you are doing, and I’m sure everyone appreciates all your effords to put all this info into our heads, Thank you Alex (and you should see MY spelling) I had to learn IM and the computer at the same time and YES WE WILL GET THERE EVENTUALLY!!!

Greetings

Nick 04.02.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I am open to what you have to teach, I believe in your ability and my own and I would prefer to learn these skills from someone who has integrity and actually want’s to help people while helping themselves. You represent that person to me and it would be an honor to learn from you.
Kenn S. 04.02.10

Wow…….great read from you Alex! :) Insightful, thought provoking and most importantly TRUTHFUL. Thank you for taking the time to invest in this e-book and thank you for allowing us to have access to it. I am new to the Internet Marketing world. I have been an offline marketer for 20 plus years and I hit a brick wall in 2009. I lost all but two of my paying clients. I was blind sided and I am one that was hit very hard by the slow down. My first thought was initial panic set in and then I thought OH NO now what do I do. I had the dear in the head lights look for a few months as I was feeling somewhat lost and new I had to make serious changes after assessing my business and the industry was involved in. I asked myself, were do I go from here and in February 2010 I realized I needed to make serious changes in my life or I was going to lose more than just my business but everything I had that was good in my life. Going online has been tough because I knew nothing about online and lots about offline.

After reading your report I would like nothing more than to be one of the selected to be coached and mentored by you personally. Alex, what I could learn through your teachings and the knowledge I would obtain and retain from you would be immense. I also feel this coaching program would be incredibly rewarding for me personally. I would be thrilled to be one of your students and to be able to go through your coaching program and NOT be a prospect any longer. Boy can I relate to being a prospect online……everyday non stop! :o)

Happy Easter to you and your family!

I look forward to be one of the chosen to be mentored by you personally, Alex.

Sylvie 04.02.10

I just finished reading your e-book and was amazed to find out that I was a prospect. When you mentioned that the people who check their emails every day, I was shocked to know that I was one of them. Instead of getting started, I was listening to what other gurus are trying to say is the next best thing.

I subscribed to alot of email lists to see what people are doing.

I was trying to find out more how to get traffic at a low cost and am surpised how many gadgets get put out on the market to promote products that say its the best, but really is overpriced and gets you going in a vicious circle.

I am currently a third year Business administration student and I understand how important marketing is to attract customers. You need to find out how to reach the customers… and to be honest that was the part I was trying to figure out… what products or business should I do online?

How can I make money without knowing what others are searching for? Of course I can go to google and type in a word… but that doesnt gives you the results.

My main job right now while studying is Vice president of Finance of the Student Union.
I make sure that all the finances and budgets are up to date.

I remember last year when taking an entrepreneurship course that the golden opportunity was to go online. When you get there, your like what do i do. Alex, when you mentioned how people feel when they start, it is so true… where should we begin?

I have bought a camcorder so far, which I have yet to start filming because I was trying to figure out how to reach customers and know what to do. This report has really helped me clarify alot of points and I thank you for it.

I hope that you decide to select me as one of your candidates for your coaching program. My passion for learning and implementing things is high. I have always been a hard worker and willing to move forward. When people talk to me they know I follow though on things.

To give you an idea of how successful we have been so far:

We have been participating in a business management game called BSG, our week 14 results got us a media release for being Top 30 in three performance measures; the measures where earning per share, stock price, and return on equity. Our stock price went from 178 to 357 within one year. Our earning per share went from 9.87 to 20.34. Our return on equity went from 37.4% to 49.2%. A typical week is considered a year. We have made top 100 list from year 12-year 15. Our results for year 16 just came out yesterday and we will find out our ranking shortly.

On the weekend of February 12-14th, me and two partners went to a BDC marketing challenge held in Montreal. The competition has 3 people from 22 different colleges compete with some market case analysis. You have three hours and got to do a 20 minute presentation. Although we did not win, we learned alot from the process and what others did.

I have always been a person that takes action and perseveres even in the face of hardhip.

Again Alex I thank you for your report and wise advice and hope you decide to select me has one of your students.
Oguz 04.02.10

Alex, I want you to be my mentor because I want to make much money online. Your report war so great.

Thank you very much…
Troy Holadia 04.02.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal business coach and online marketing mentor. You and I share a common goal and that is to help as many people as possible to excel in life and live without self-imposed boundaries. I look forward to learning more from you and us working together to improve all the lives we touch. Thank you for being an inspirational leader and offering this opportunity to the lucky five who took action. I can’t wait to learn more next week.

Nen 04.02.10

Why do I want coaching with Alex Jeffreys?

When I first opened the ebook and saw 96 pages…wow, I’ll have to take days to read this!
Didn’t take that long, I couldn’t close it untill I got to this point right here!
You described me (and many others) to a tee. We’re stuck being prospects.
I think it’s something we really already knew but needed the kick in the … to change our ways.
I’ve been unsuccessfull for to long now and would like your coaching to help me help myself out of this rut.
Thanks so much!
Edd Parry 04.02.10

Hi Alex: CHOOSE ME!!!

Yes, Alex I want you to be my mentor because , I am in need of serious help. I have been online now for over 15 years, done copywriting, article writing, MLM , email networking, SEO writing and affiliate marketing, and gues what none of these made me any money well perhaps a little. My site above is a writers site, I love to write and I am a member of the Warrior forum and also a AWAI student in the past which taught me the techniques of copywriting. I must make money now online as I have a son who lives abroad and is only 8 his mother does not work and therefore I am the only breadwinner, so I am really desperate to be chosen by you. Thanks for the video today it was nice to see who you are definitely sold me..All the best in 2010..Edd
Shelton 04.02.10

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because …” after attending your last webinar, I am thrilled to hear your focus is on relationship building as the key to long term success. I am so sick of the hype about making “googles of dollars overnight if you just buy my program,” and find it refreshing to hear someone talking about giving your customers genuine value rather than dishing out slick marketing to win them over. Bravo for you!

Frankly, while I’d love to win the complimentary coaching package, what I really want is to be sure to secure a seat to your personal coaching and get access to the inner workings of your online business. I am sure that investment will pay for itself many times over.

Looking forward to next week’s webinar.
Burt Unruh 04.02.10

I’m in my late 50′s and had a major heartattac last year that ended by self emplyeed contracting business. I have been reading all kinds of stuff online but yours seems to make the most sense. I’d love to be in your mentoring program. I need to make a living!
Pete 04.02.10

Hi, I’ve read great things about you from Rob Bradley’s website & found your report a stimulating read. Currently seeking my way forward and would sure value your input. Wishing you and yours all the best.
Joe Spaulding 04.02.10

I want you to mentor and coach me. Loved the ebook and it did hit very close to home. I am really a newbie and have spent endless hours and money buying and trying and getting nowhere fast. After reading the book, I understand that I am a buyer and have been getting overwhelmed with all of the information overload out there. I am a quick study and am firing away, but without really having a target, quite frankly I am totally lost. Thanks for considering me for this venture.

lawrence mitchell 04.02.10

I read your report,and congrats on your success,and i could use a break and some real tutoring.I’m like the Rodney Dangerfield out here in marketing..I get no respect.I’ve been burned twice before and I want to make this work,but like you said..I was fed pieces of the puzzle and not shown the big picture.All these so called”gurus”put on a good sales page but their claims were a bit off.I could use a little confidence with a good crew.You sounded sincere about the 20,000 training program and hope to come aboard.I’m willing to leave this other program n jump to yours as I believe this guys just blowing smoke up my butt.Please keep me in mind as I’m getting older and I have to make this work so my motivation will be 100%+.I got laid off last year and am tired of working under less than adequate people.I believe once my confidence level rises,I’ll be a driving force out here.I’ve been studying affiliates for months and think I can get it together,I just need one thing to put it all together.Help me get back on my feet and I’ll run with you.Awaiting Your Response..I am..lawrence(larry)Mitchell…p.s.looks like you have a nice family..
Maya 04.02.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal coach because:
Over the past year, I have learn how to build a website, how to do keyword research, how to find a niche, how to drive traffic…Now I need to go to the next level and learn how to run a marketing campaign.
I’m a Haitian immigrant and I’ve been very lucky to be able to come to the United States and have great opportunities. I want to make a lot of money and be able to give back to my country of origin, particularly to help the children have a better life.
I have a willingness to learn that grows everyday and I’m very teachable. I know that having a coach like you will allow me to achieve more and do more. I have already learned a lot from your e-book that has helped me change the way I look at my business online and learn what I should focus on more.
Many blessings to you, you deserve it!

Don Ramsey 04.02.10

Yes Alex, I want you to be my personal mentor because I need help… I’ve been spending and fighting this Internet “thing” for 4 years now with absolutely no results.

After reading your ebook I really feel like I could qualify as the poster child for all the “sucker” prospects… I have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars over the last four years trying to get a handle on what I need to do and how I need to do it only to learn from your ebook that I’ve been going about it totally wrong.

Disappointed, disgusted and frustrated do not accurately describe how I feel. You have opened my eyes and I now recognize that I need a mentor/coach in order to achieve the success I want but the problem I have, like so many others, is I’m out of money.

All the guru’s have sucked this prospect dry… I have bought more courses, trainings and programs that I care to admit to, all to no avail. I think I could safely say I have more pieces to the puzzle than anyone I know of without having anything of real value.

All I can add at this point is that to be able to get coaching from you would be an absolute godsend. It would allow me the chance to resurrect myself from the ash heap of Internet sucker prospects and also give me the opportunity to show everyone that what I’ve been pursuing all this time was actually the right thing to do.

So, ‘nuff said… Now I’ll just wait with fingers crossed that I’m one of the five.

Thanks for your time

Don
Trevor Poulson 04.02.10

Alex, I really need your help. I know everybody says that. However, in my case I’m afraid it’s true. I have a business set up, established, what ever you want to call it. Of course though, for whatever reason, I’m not making a single dime. I spent want was left of my savings trying to invest in an internet marketing. Now I have nothing, I literally have $500 left in my account. Plus I’m disabled. I have epilepsy, so its impossible for me to get a regular job. (I’ll send you proof of my condition if you need it.) You could be the answer to my dreams. My problem isn’t drive, or setting up a business or even being a “prospect” like you said. I just don’t “know” how to run a marketing company, or campaign to save my life. Look I’ll make a deal with you. If you pick me as one of the 5, I’ll give you half of my profits for a year. No joke. Seriously, please help me. I’ll do what ever you say. I know with the money you can help me to make I can improve others lives as well. Anyways sorry to get all personal, LoL I just really need your guidance. Thank you.
Alex 04.02.10

Hi Alex ! I’am from Romania, and unfortunatly i’am an exprospecter becose of You and my question to you is .. Can I run a IM business outside my country, or it’s necesary to run it on may place not worldwide and apply all that you teach, to our conditions.
Thank’s
Robert Vonau 04.02.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because you are the first “guru” who has been honest about why I am really failing in trying to be an internet marketer.

I have been at this now for 1 1/2 years with no real success. I am exactly the person you describe in Guru’s Nightmare, the perfect buyer for all the gurus that know how to market the right way. Always jumping at the next shiny thing they offer up thinking this will make the difference and start making things work, only to be disappointed with lack of results and look for the next email with the golden ticket.

I have no marketing experience in my background. I have been a veterinarian for 15 years and came to internet marketing as a way to make some extra needed money. For the past year I have thought I could just learn about marketing from all of the products I have been buying. This was as stupid as me trying to be a veterinarian without ever having gone to vet school. I have no clue on how to do marketing the right way because I have never been taught how to do it and its not something that comes naturally to me.

That’s why I would like to have a mentor because I want to quit wasting time doing this the wrong way and be taught the right way. I want you in particular because you not only know the right way as evident by your success in the field, but you are honest enough to tell other people what they are doing wrong and offer to help them do it right and not just sell another false hope product to them. Integrity.

I like your analogy in the Guru’s Nightmare to the marathon. I’ve done two Ironman triathlons in my life. I went from never running, biking, or swimming to over five years of training to get to the point of the first one. I was smart enough to know that once I committed to doing the Ironman, I needed a coach to make sure I trained the right way to accomplish the goal. I needed someone who had done multiple ones and knew what needed to be done to get to that level. This is exactly where I find myself now and why I would like you to be my personal mentor.

Thanks for the Guru’s Nightmare report. It really opened my eyes to why I am failing. I will need to spend the rest of the afternoon unsubscribing from a bunch of email lists and start analyzing what the ones I trusted were doing to keep me so hooked. I look forward to the next stuff you will be putting out before the release.

Thanks
Rob
Anil 04.02.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because:

- I like your sincerity. You are different from the others.
- I have set myself a goal for September this year, which if I don’t reach will hurt more than anything in the world, anything. I believe your direction will give the best possible chance of reaching the goal
- You will have unlimited free accommodation wherever I am living (currently UK), whenever you want including meals :)

Whoever Alex chooses, I wish them and Alex, all the best for the future,

Anil
Gary wilson 04.02.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I have been trying for a year and a half and have nothing to show for but after reading you report I relized that was me. I know with you coaching It will help me out a lot cause your not trying to sell us but help and that’s what I need. I am very determined to learn what you teach plus I”m willing to put in long hours if need. This is work not play. I’m a person that wants to learn as much as I can. I know and believe I can do it but need a coach that is willing to help and show me the right way. Your report is an eye opener. I want to be able to give back one day myself. I like the fact that your very open and honest and don’t talk but walk the walk.
I can’t say enough about this report.
Andrew 04.03.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I have a great story. I know everyone has a story but before I tell you mine, as a marketer I should probably find out what it is that you really want from your 5 prospective students and create a wonderful story that will push your buttons and compel you to choose me right? Seriously though (no b.s.), If there’s one thing that I’m still learning from being a victim caught up in the “guru’s dream” of internet riches, its that you can’t go online and market products to make money. You SELL products online to make money and you MARKET to create value, but that’s not what the 2 latest traffic-getting programs told me that I bought last month! (Obviously I’ve been reading the wrong material.)

I’ve been playing the IM game for 3 years now, almost 4, and have spent over 5k on how-to products. I know you and many others have spent much more than that but to me that’s a lot of money! A year ago I finally started making some money in a particular niche using PPC to drive traffic. Not a lot, but enough to keep my “hobby” going. Since then I’ve been banging my head against the wall trying to break into other niches the same way but always ended up losing money on advertising and eventually dropping the campaigns. I thought maybe if I could donate more time then I could really start making some money so I quit my job 2 months ago to give this a go full time. (My day job wasn’t going well anyway). In those 2 months I have created over 5 new websites and started new ad campaigns for each one but to date still have nothing to show for it. Again, all I’ve done is lost money on advertising.

When you bang your head against the wall enough times, it starts to bleed and it hurts! I don’t want to give up on my dream and neither does my family but it’s getting serious now because I’ve just lost a major majority of my traffic from my one profitable niche for the 3rd time and I’m not sure I can get it back. So now I’m unemployed, still trying to find a decent job if I don’t “crack the code” in the next week, and I’m not 100% sure on what to do next. I’ve got great support from my family though, my boys pray everyday that their dad’s online business will do well so that I can spend more time with them. I want to do that more than anything but there seems to be one last hurdle that I just can’t seem to get over.

So yeah Alex, I need a coach! I can’t tell you if I want in more than anyone else, but I can tell you that I want my online business/es to work more than I’ve wanted anything in my life, not just because of the financial stability for my family, but because of the freedom to pursue my dreams, contribute to society in a fun and meaningful way and help as many people as I can to realize their potential. I’ve finished a short e-book but that’s as far as I’ve gotten so far. I’d tell you the title but it would be a laughable irony (one of the reasons that I haven’t published it yet.)

Anyway, hope this doesn’t sound like a sob story, this isn’t extreme home makeover. I do have a vehicle and road-map to success but it’s more of a bicycle with a flat tire that doesn’t go very fast. I’d much rather hitch a ride in your to get there if you’ll have me.

Thanks so much for the extremely valuable information that you’ve shared for free. I couldn’t stop reading it since I’ve started 4 hours ago and it has given me a new direction. If I do get to continue marketing it will be because I’ve implemented the principles taught in it.

Hope to meet you in person, I like the way your mind works!

-Andrew

P.S. You have a beautiful wife by the way. Tell Katie I said that!
Kevin 04.03.10

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because …” I was laid off last year and yesterday my wife was given notice her last day at work is the end of April. I want to be able to teach my children that you don’t need a job to be able to live. You can create your own way in the world and I need your help. I have never quit at anything I have tried and never failed (found a lot of ways things don’t work), but in learning how it didn’t, I figured out how it did.

Really enjoyed reading the Guru’s Nightmare, I can relate to a lot of it.

Take care, keep up the good work and God Bless.

Kevin
Michael O'Reilly 04.03.10

Hey Alex…..Your book was as expected…great. I will be going back to it I’m sure. I would really love to win the free coaching dude…wow..I know I am just a little bit away from understanding what it takes to make it.(i hope) I thought I knew alot about marketing and the world in general coming out of my so called last career. I was a Shift Supervisor and a buyer for a box plant. The economy went to hell and so did I…lol..I lost my job, my house, and 2 months later my 3 year old car blew up……what a story huh?.. Well, things are not so bad anymore because I got into this online Marketing. I joined a real estate program and took a foreclosure teaching offer to the CPA networks. I made over 10K in a week and I was hooked. Unfortunately, the offer was then to saturated in the market and the networks would not run it any more. I have since began building a list in the IM niche(already at 1500) but am just looking for a little direction. Your the man to give me that direction…lol..your the man to give anyone direction in the IM world…no bullshit..its just the truth dude…so that’s my story and hopefully you’ll pick me to train…if not…I’ll make it man…one day….:-)

Thanks again for another great book dude!

Donahue Vanderhider 04.03.10

Its a war zone out there! Yes Alex, I need support and community! To that end I have tried to find a community of like-minded entrepenurs. That said: This is my passion and dream. I have been trying for a little over a year to get something going online. And like you wrote about, I went from Guru to Guru, buying thier stuff, looking for mentorship or the formula that would enable me to be build an online business. I know there are no free lunches, and no “easy buttons”. It take hard work and determination.
Heck, I have fallen, and gotten up, burshed myself off, and continued. In fact, if it take another 2 or 3 years, I will keep at it, and it will probably happen again. But not if I get a hand. I would love to find a mentor! But the people that offer mentorships, do so at a price that I cannot afford! (and like you so aptly described, I don’t trust too many people out there).

I hear stories of people that travelled across the planet to hear lectures and meet sucessful internet entrepenurs. What I read between the lines is: they had ‘seed money’. They had a certain amount of money to get themselves started – and regardless of the work and determination that they demonstrated – that initial funding was instrumental! I can say unequivically, I too am comitted and determined, but I do not have the start-up funding. And please don’t assume I have it but am afraid to commit my funds – Its JUST not there. If I had it – I would invest in myself if I had it. But the economic downturn, leveled me and I am working a 9 – 5 to pay the bills and keep food on the table.
Alex, if I could get a boost up, like you’re offering to several fortunate people, I would be estatic. I know its time and effort well spent! And I would not only prove to be a worthy collegue, but I would in my turn, reach down and help somebody up, the the way I was helped. And I think that’s what you want to do. I don’t think you want to help somebody so that they can become rich and self-serving. I think…no I hope..that you want to help somebody, have an impact on thier life, and know that someday they will help another person the way they were helped. respectfully, Donahue
Now, finally, at the risk of being terribly long-winded. I have a Master’s in Gerontology, and my niche is baby-boomers, successful aging, and Alzheimer’s and Dementia. This so going to be a big market in the next 20 years, and we can get into this together! So pick me. I am ready!

“Yes Alex, I want you to be my personal mentor because after just reading Guru’s Nightmare in the last 2 hrs you have opened my eyes to a new concept and way of thinking regarding IM and I would be absolutely priviledged to be one of your 5 chosen students”.
I hail from South Africa, am 59 years old, have worked for 38 years for 3 corporate companies, 30 years of which are with the main power utility (Eskom) who will place me on pension in 4 years time.
I have been net surfing for the past 5 years and have seriously been studying IM money making methods for the past 18 months. I have purchased about 5 online IM products of which one, (Dave Gales ACF) appears to be the most promising one. However to date I have not made one penny on any of these products.
I am absolutely gobsmacked and totally bowled over by the fact that “Marketing and being marketed to” are concepts which are lightyears apart! I can hardly wait to run at the “Starter’s Gun.”
I would love to succeed at “Alex type Marketing” as my wife and daughter both say I am wasting time and money on the internet and my colleagues tell me I ‘ll never retire early. I know inside that with the correct mentoring they will all “Eat Their Words”.

Cedric.
P.S: Alex, never stop loving and cherishing your lovely wife, because in “Guru’s Nightmare”
you let slip what a loyal, supportive person she is to you! She’s a flawless diamond!
Charles Harmon 04.03.10

Hey Alex,

Yes Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because you seem to have respect for the little guy or girl trying to make it in internet marketing. I think you have it right about not having to force sell products, but produce superior products with exceptional value that you can promote by offering free products to get people on your list then letting them decide if they want your paid products. I haven’t heard anyone expounding that but it does appear that a few gurus are doing a similar type of marketing (but I am not sure of the value of their products), but I don’t think they have a program teaching others, especially those new to internet marketing, how to do it.

Yes social marketing is an excellent way to promote yourself and your products, but few, if any are teaching exactly how to do it. You have the experience and have learned from the best in the business how to market and you are willing to help others do the same. I’d be so thankful to get rid of most of my 50+ time consuming websites (barely making a profit) and concentrate on learning a proven systematic marketing process from someone who is actually doing what he teaches plus making a lot of money in the process.

Your free gurus_nightmare ebook is one of the best, if not the best, expose of what it takes to make it in internet marketing. Coming from someone who is very successful it cannot be taken lightly. It puts most paid products to shame. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks,

Charles
John Gledhill 04.03.10

hi alex I would love you to train me to be successful as I too have bought all the bull that is around the net and found it to be mostly crap. I am unemployed and have been looking to make a living on the internet for 3 months now and realise there is no real quick way and it takes time just to get a list never mind any sales, I have a few web sites trying to get the list going and am in the process now of trying to get traffic via social sites as I dont have any money to pay for traffic.If you could coach me I am sure I would make a living and would really get a kick out of helping other people in a similar predicament to be able to work from home, one last thought to all aspiring marketers, dont over-do the hours on the computer the wife is not happy!! to say the least. Johnhg57
Steven Musolf 04.03.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because in the past four years I’ve spent over 10,000 thousand dollars and several thousand hours trying to succeed in the Internet business. I really have nothing to show for it. I am retired (very early) because of a heart attack and a stroke. My wife has been terminated at her job and we are starting to get desperate for money.

I struggle with getting started. I have had several websites all of which have proven not to be moneymakers. My current website Http://BentCreekGallery.com isn’t doing anything despite the several thousand dollars I’ve spent on it and the promises of the people who built it for me. I’ve read so much about websites, the success formulas that various Gurus use, and dozens of tutorials that I have subscribed to that I have lost touch with any sense of what I should do next. I am completely lost.

I need you. If you don’t help me I’m afraid I’ll simply expire. My vision is completely gone and I can’t go any further. You make a lot of sense. Please don’t leave me out here floundering.

Sincerely,

Steven Musolf
Simon Croft 04.03.10

Hi Alex,

Another first class report that seemed to point to everything that I have been doing wrong all this time. Perhaps you were a psychologist in a previous life.

Very easy to read, all done in one go as you could probably see by the time. Will definitely read it at least another couple of times to make it sink in and write notes.

I admit, even though I am on many lists, I do only open emails from people I trust, Mike Filsaime, Michael Cheney, John Thornhill, yourself and a couple of others.

Every day is started with the right intention but more often than not I get sidetracked for one reason or another and then spend hours on crap.

I must admit, I am not one that spend thousands on crap, I can normally see straight through the sales copy and I certainly don’t have any delusions of grandeur thinking I am going to be an overnight success. If that was the case, it’s the longest night in history.

Would I want to be trained and mentored by you, heck who wouldn’t. You have proved yourself time and again to deliver great free products and have become one of the most respected marketers on the internet. I have been following your progress closely for a while trying to pick up pieces here and there. I have recently been made redundant, unfortunately like so many people in the UK recently so unfortunately funds are very tight and this would be the only realistic way of being mentored by a top marketer and shown all the correct methods. The plus side (and there are always positives in any situation) is that I will have time to go through the training thoroughly without the distractions of work. I need to be able to prove to my wife that all my time spent on the computer is worthwhile and my words aren’t some kind of pipe dream.

I know success is possible, trying to convince others is more difficult. I also know that I do not want to have to trust another employer with mine and my families future.

Right now, I know I need all the help possible to keep my perspective and hope going.

Should you pick me? Only you can make that decision but yes I would be overjoyed to at last be given the perfect springboard to prove all the doubters wrong.

To your success

Simon Croft
Dennis King 04.03.10

I just wanted to say that I felt you were talking directly to me. I realize I need to just focus and stop going from product to product. I’m certain I could benefit from your coaching. However, for those you do choose I wish them all the success in the world. Thanks for the opportunity to to at least be considered. From this day forward I will concentrate on marketing!
Greg J 04.03.10

Hi Alex,

I have over 22 years of entrepreneurial experience in the bricks and mortar world but I am struggling to create a thriving business online. Over the past year and a half I have joined MANY of the ‘guru’ mailing lists I give each one the sniff test and unsubscribe from the lists that are not offering me honest to goodness value. I now have a very short list of IM experts that I trust..I’m sure you are aware of imreportcard.com and know that you have received glowing reviews on that site. You pass my sniff test and I am adding you to my shortlist. I would be really excited to be chosen for your personal coaching program. I think you have the jet fuel that I’m looking for to help me launch a lucrative online business.

Thanks, Big Hug
Neil 04.03.10

Hi Alex

The Gurus’ Nightmare is speaking about my IM experiences exactly. I went through the prospect phase but slowly realised that something was missing. My wooly thinking realised that it was the marketing bit and your book has blown away the fog.

I decided to learn how to market properly and as a project started to build a website a couple of months ago, promoting a holiday rental cottage in Scotland,using what knowledge I had picked up along the way and by trial and error. It is working quite well and has reached first page on google for common search terms which gives me an enomous kick, albeit in the relatively small tourism market.

I confess that I haven’t come across your name before but then I don’t do much on Facebook and the like but am so impressed by your openness and clarity. I look forward to researching your other works and hope to get as much from them as from the Gurus’ Nightmare.

I will succeed in IM, slowly or othewise and thank you for showing that it is possible to operate in an ethical manner and achieve honest success. I was going to ask to be considered for your mentoring position, but to be frank there does seem to be many people out there who are more deserving or perhaps needy is a better word. I wouldn’t turn down the offer though but whatever happens I look forward to following your teaching and learning from a master.

With best wishes and kind regards,

Neil

Frances Y 04.03.10

Hi Alex.
Thanks for the Guru Info! I have been in many of the “traps” that you have mentioned as I search online to build a business in the Self Growth field. Too many people are hurting in the world and my passion is to help by sharing and hopefully open a few hearts and eyes. You have done this for me in regards to online “marketing.” I have been in the social media arena lately (mostly Facebook) and have discovered how social media is viral. One eye opener example is the social games (Farmville). I now see how unique social media is and how it can draw in worldwide players with a goal in common. that is simple, free and fun. I am studying the aspects of how this works and see many common marketing process that are needed to build an expanding platform online. Keep on mentoring as I will be following.

Frances
Matt Woityra 04.03.10

Hi Alex,
I definitly want you as a mentor and as a coach. Let me explain to you my long story. Just like every guru has a past so do I. I have gone through alot these last 10 years. I own at one time a very profitable off-line business. It was in the fitness industry, but I was a slave to my business. As I recall the best year I had I profit about 300k. But that was the past and today that is different. I stumbled upon years ago into network marketing and became a quick success story but had to walk away because 5 years ago in florida we got hit with 3 hurricanes and my wife force me back into the business. At that time we lost over 100k because of no power. As I grew the business back, I step back into my network company only to find myself doing what most newbies do. Procrastination on being perfect. I would read, purchase, go to every convention. Just to make sure I knew it all. As I started researching on line I would find new ideas for my fitness business for both on & off line advertising. I can say that in my industry I am pretty good with off line advertising. My best campaign brought me in over 180k. But like I said that was the past.

When I first started my network company I just had a baby girl. That was 5 years ago. My ultimate goal back then was to start my own business because I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I wanted to prove to people that if you work hard anyone can be successful. I have had several mentors in the past. All were not in the interent guru crowns. But all of my group of 10 or more friends each make 50+ million a year. As I pick there brains for the past ten years. They all go by the old school methods. None of them understand the internet stuff I was involved in.

So, last fast forward to today. As most people have in the past invested into so called get rich programs. I focused on the pieces to the puzzles that the gurus sold. I have invested over 60k into the gurus dream. Yes, like you said most give the pieces to the puzzle but not the whole enchalada. Not to knock any of the gurus but I can relate to you. First I’m 34, male, with 2 kids. I never went to college. I’m what you call a street smart kid. I served 4 years in the US Marines and was a perfectionists at everything I did. Thats were my fault is.

I am a perfectionist. In the past I was always seeking approval or attention from my parents. Last year I lost my dad because of lung cancer. At that time I was separated with my wife. Whereas I was out of the house, out of our business, and left with no money. I felt like I hit rock bottom. Well I dusted myself off and got real focus. My goals in 2010 change for the better. I did get back with my wife but until feb we separated again. I did get back into our business only to step back and work part time as a trainer. I am rebuilding my life from grounds zero.

As of right now my wife & I are in about 500k debt. Pretty big losses we took in the past 3 years. But I have to say something to you Alex. I have a saying that reminds me so much of you.

“You can be the best jocky in the world, but if you are on the wrong horse your still gonna lose”

I feel through all of the couses I bought. I was on the wrong horse and if you were that super-stud horse I’d be a winner.

I do possess alot of skills. Spelling is not one of them either. Since I bought so many couses. I never had the time to execute most of them. I read them and never applied them. Why is now different, you may ask? I have time on my side. I work 30 hours a week training people, and the rest of the time is for doing. I am a 100% committted person to success. I can admit that was a big flaw in my marriage. I do not like to fail or lose money. I have done 60 days with no radio, tv, or reading newspapers/magazines. I call these electronicincome reducers. If you pick me to be one of the (5), I promised not to let you down. I will committ myself 100%. I am willing to put this in writing too. With a reverse guarantee, If I fail, and I do not go along with the coaching and become a success story. I will pay you double the price of the coaching program. How many people on your list are that confident to put there money with there mouth is. I want success so bad that I will sacrifice anything to have it.

Please consider me to be one of your students.

Thank you

Matt

PS. Since you are striving to get in shape. I can assisit you too. I have trained alot of celebrites locally (Lawrence Taylor, Rick Sanchez, Kristy Krueger, Rocky Johnson, just to name a few)
Michelle Heeren 04.03.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I believe what you had to offer in you wonderful FREE e-book, and I would love to change my life right now, and would be willing to put forward all my motivation and effort to be successful. I think that with your help I could actually change my life and get out of this economic rut that everyone in the US is in. I believe you were telling the truth in your e-book and it wasn’t about marketing to me to sell me something, and I believe it shows something to me about you, You are a real person that wants to help other real people make extra cash. I would be grateful for the rest of my life if you would help me to create a good business online with great marketing. I do believe in you and I wish you would believe in me.
Patsy Jackson 04.03.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because, I need “HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP”
Sorry, I got excited thinking I might win.

Best to you and yours,

Gerry 04.03.10

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because it has been two years since I called myself a Internet Marketer and haven’t made any real money. I call myself a internet marketer even though I am just realizing what a marketer really is. Thank you for this great report because it hits me dead on. I’ve purchased loads of material, read it, and tried to apply it, but as you said it just didn’t work for me. I’ve built website after website, joined affiliates after affiliates without reaching any success. I need everything you’ve said I need to become a success as an internet market and I look forward to you becoming my Mentor. You have put a lot into this report for us newbies and again I say Thank You.
George Kraus, Ph.D., ABPP 04.03.10

Dear Alex,
I am very new to marketing but have a program of material that is dynamite and can help what I imagine are millions of people worldwide. The message I have is powerful, but I do not have a delivery system to get it in people’s hands. This is what I am hoping you can help me with. I have strong credentials in my own field but no chops of any kind when it comes to marketing. HELP! :) Read the Guru’s Nightmare with great interest and would love to learn more about social media, mailing lists, affiliate programs, and the like. T

Hoping We Can Do Some Great Things Together,
George
Alex Monell 04.03.10

Yes, Alex, I want you to be my personal mentor because you have the knowledge I need to get where I want to go. Two years ago, while homeless and living in a tent behind Kmart, I decided to buy my first computer, even though I was completely computer technologically illiterate. I saw people making money online, and knew that I could do it, too, even though I knew nothing about the Internet. I started investing in different programs, searching for a blueprint for marketing online. But the big picture was eluding me. I’ve spent literally thousands of dollars and hours trying to fit all the pieces together, but all I have to show for it is piles of CDs and booklets that are gathering dust. I AM the prospect you wrote about in “Guru”s Nightmare”. But I will never give up! I need your help to get beyond my current level and become a successful online marketer. I am an extremely hard worker and have a very determined personality. I know I can be the successful mentee you are looking for and the entrepreneur I’ve always known I would be. Why should you choose me out of the thousands of applicants you’ll receive? Because I will work harder and longer than anyone else to be the kind of success you will write about.
In partnership,
Alex Monell
bob rettman 04.03.10

Alex, I am not sure I am someone more deserving than the next, but I will tell you this: When you are sitting around not knowing what to do first. I had plenty of time to watch and listen and learn. I followed you more closely than anyone else on the Internet.
I watched your meteoric rise to your present success. I totally enjoyed watching your rise. Since I had been a major contributor to the gurus life styles, you became my default race horse , if you will.
Every time I opened one of your e-mails and saw you standing there with your next targeted guru. His arm would be around you, drinks in hand, smile all around. I would literally jump up and down. You were not just a master, you were a Grand Master! The gurus would take your money, but they never came out ahead. You were collecting their business souls, one by one! I simply loved it!
There was one guru in particular, I will not give you his name because it is not in my nature to that. But when I opened your e-mail and saw you standing there with him, his arm around you, drink in hand, smiling like a couple of Cheshire Cats. This was one of my all time highlights. I even cracked a bottle and drank a toast to you, because I knew that my favorite guru was being had!!.
At first I was unsure what tact you were going to make. Then right before my eye you became Brother Alex, Uncle Alex, Father Alex, Good friend Alex. Something for everyone Alex. Then you formed you best online personality, Honest Alex!
Then when I thought it could not get any better, you hit me (us) with family member Alex. Through your videos we got to meet you girlfriend, saw you drunk, walked through you home, Christ, man, I was at your wedding and your reception. I am glad you stopped there because to be in your honey moon bed would have been too much. You probably would have lost a few people on your list on that one.
I don’t mean this in any type of negative way. I so loved watching you and your moves. I pulled for you every step of the way. I got to watch a Grand Master work, and pal, it was a honor and a pleasure to watch you work.
Should I get one of the five slots? Only you know what your looking for? But I know this,, whoever you pick, you will pick them strategically.
I did learn years ago that it was much less work if you told truth and were honest. I did feel that if I picked a niche, I wanted one that would help people and spare them many of my mistakes but I lacked the one important thing that you did from the start. You acted!! I sat around in fear, not knowing what to do first. I made every classic mistake that most of us do.
Still basically having that same basic fear of not knowing what to do or where to go first, you sure could point me in the right direction.
I am if nothing else, a realist. There are probably going to be thousands of people all vying for you to choose them. If I am not picked by you, please allow me to say that it has been a pleasure watching you and being part of your list. I have a feeling that this is only another step in your Master Plan, if it is, I am glad to have been apart of it. Thanks Alex, for reading this due to it’s length. Here’s hoping you make more money than even you have in mind. Good Luck Alex, although, I am the one who needs the luck, you already have the skill. After all, you are a Grand Master, you check mated them all. I was lucky enough to experience it with you. Thanks Alex., sincerely, bob rettman
Herman Wheeler 04.03.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because …I believe that the whole point is to create student success stories. I have the determination, desire, and willingness to put in the required work to give you the results you (we) seek from your students. Just recently I had an article published on a article directory in reference to the need for a “teacher” and it would be great if my teacher turned out to be you!
Ethan 04.03.10

Yes Alex, I want you to be my mentor because…. Just because.
There are so many comments starting with that statement already and I want to be the special one. Simple because, I want to be doing my best too
Doreen 04.03.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I really want to learn how to start an internet business the right way. I have been searching the internet for a couple of years now to try to learn how to do an internet business the right way. I haven’t found any place that fully explains how to get a business up and running. I lost my husband 4 years ago and it has been such a struggle. I became ill with cancer and then they found other health problems. I moved in with my daughter. Now I am somewhat better and REALLY need to be out on my own. I feel that the proper training from you will be of great value to me and to my live (you know, all that stress!).
David 04.03.10

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because…” your knowledge is more than mine. You can grant me ability with your power. I beg your favor of infinite bounty, for surely, you have power and I have none, you know all and I know nothing. If this will be good for my faith and my livelihood, then choose to mentor me. If your knowledge is bad for my faith and my livelihood, then turn me away and make me happy with that!

Agus Setia Yunan 04.03.10

Hi Alex,

I live in Indonesia, a developing country with lots of poor people, I am now 56 and it has been my biggest dream to help the poor but diligent students for their higher education. The reason I choose you to be my mentor is that I see you are so open and I believe you can help me succeed in IM. Once this is achieved, I am on a plan to make my dream come true.

Best Regards and May God Be With You Always.
Johan Eloff 04.03.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because …

(…..I thought I was the smart one)

When I started to dabble into Internet Marketing I was under the impression that you get a product, advertise it via Google, sit back and the money will roll in. That didn’t work.

Then the list joining started and, as I do not have dollars to spend, I kept on looking for free downloads meaning to give them away in order to get my own list to market to. Internet Marketing here in South Africa is still in it’s infancy due to various reasons (one that we weren’t allowed to accept payment via PayPal (that changed last week)) and a few others.

I grabbed a few (free) tools, found a great webhost and started uploading scripts, creating databases and all the nice things you are outsourcing. During this process some strange things happened: I will create an SQL database, populate it with info, login via a PHP script just to be told the user doesn’t exist. Host looks at scripts and setup – no problem. Then one day, the login just happened and now I’m on my way…… or that’s what I thought.

Fortunately, another “report” crossed my eyes (in an email I did not delete) and I thought I like the heading and will make time to read it sometime. (Normally the reports gather computer dust and this one could go that way.) I actually started reading it and liked what I read, so much so that a portion of my paradigm shifted. I also realised that this guy knows what he is talking about.

And the book / report is yours Alex.

Being my age with no big pension plan when I want to retire, It dawned on me that my whole outlook will have to change in order to make money (and lots of it (also for medical reasons)).

Unfortunately I will (in my current state of Internet Marketing Knowledge) not be able to pay for personal coaching.

I do believe that I am a very likely candidate to get one of the 5 spots to a $20,000 value coaching package and all the help you are able to give me.

Lebo Serem 04.03.10

Hi, Alex,

I downloaded your eBook today through a link at a Traffic Exhange this morning and read it through in one sitting. I identify with all that you have touched on especially how you are led to buy into one program after another, the called “turnkey online money making machine on autopilot” only to find that it is not that easy. Something more is required to make it work for you. I have been trying to learn how to successfully operate a business online since August of 2009. Reading through your eBook has convinced me that following your model is what I am looking for. Can you assist me? I am writing from Nairobi,, Kenya. And thanks for the eBook. It is a real eye-opener! Good day!
Roger 04.03.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because this is all new to me and i need someone to teach me the right way to do things. I would also like to be able to spend more time with my 3 children and give them the things that i didn’t have growing up. My dad died when i was 8 and my mom raised me by herself, so we were poor and didn’t have much and i want to be able to give my children all the things that i missed out on growing up. Not to mention getting out of a dead end job. I know with your help i can do it.

Thank You
Roger N.
Chris 04.03.10

Hi Alex,

I would love to be mentored by you as you seem to go out of your way to help people.

What I would like to comment on is a likely impossibility.

That is the “gurus” put their name, reputation and promised abilities up front – by this I mean if the purpose of these gurus courses, training, mentoring, ebooks etc. is NOT just to line the gurus pockets then they only charge people AFTER they make some money from the aforementioned courses.

As this is as highly unlikely occurrence as politicians telling the truth I guess I will not be able to afford yet another course to see IF I will make money AFTER paying out again.

Anyway, keep up the good work Alex and good luck with your latest venture.

Chris
Jim Garvin 04.03.10

Hi Alex.
Thanks for the awesome report. I just finished reading it , my head is spinning …I remeber you first Ebay book , and I have seen you rise to the top , to where you are today. Truly amazing.

I would like to be in your coaching program becuase it it my time, it is my turn…I have flopped aroiund enough over the past few years, spending more than I could afford on the new shinny objects.
I would try and focus on what I bought and try to make it work, but as you say , there is often times missing pieces of the puzzle. The product doesn’t give you everything t you need,. Most times the product is a tease for the back end product. When you read the back end sales page it makes it seem like in order for the front end product you just bought to work for you , you need the backend…

I am so frustrated at all that crap… I know the back end is important to being a successful marketer, but it is my thinking that the original product should stand on its own and not require another huge investment…
It is kinda what you talk about So Called Gurus selling the sizzle and not the steak…A lot of them couldn’t make their own products work as sold. They make the money on selling the product not using it themselves…

I love you way of thinking….I want to join your Army, I iwant to drink your cool-aid, because it is so obivious that you want to help others, you remeber what itis like to be where I am today..

I would like to be able to make a better life for my family, they have endure so much, and have stuck with me. It is their turn too..

I will use your coaching to do my part in making the IM world a better place, for people struggling to just get by. or bring their lifestyle to next level.

Sure I have made a couple of bucks but spent many times more to generate that income. I need a system, a coach, a mentor, I need you, And my small mailing list needs you,
I can make their lives better using what you teach me.

I will give back as you do. I am getting near retirement age with no real retirement fund.
I know this business can take care of me and my family in my so called golden years, if I can only learn how to do it right..

That is why I ned to be coached by YOU…
Thanks for listening and thankls for sharing Jim
DAN the winner! 04.03.10

Greetings Alex!

I am a fairly newcomer to the Internet Marketing world. So far i have been sitting on the prospect chair, and have not made a DIME… I do recognize on my part that the lack of focus on implementing one system and guidance from a Mentor is what contributes to my current outcome… Well, i am READY to take a move in to the MARKETER chair and start growing my business online. In return of having you as a mentor, i can guarantee you that I will provide you with your “BEST” TESTIMONIAL. You invest on me, i will be your disciple and evangelist of what you can do for others.

#1 You may be asking yourself, well why isnt this guy where he should be if he has that intensity of determination??? My answer is, well, you may have the right manual at hand, but if you dont have someone who can teach you the codes to work the manual you will be running around circles trying to figure things out, #2, If this guy admits that there is a need for a mentor, why doesnt he have one already?, my answer is simple, I currently have not been able to afford any mentorship programs…..

Alex, i know you are giving you system out to those select 5 posts. I sincerely from the bottom of my heart want to be one of those 5 you select. In RETURN to your COACHING TO ME, I WILL NOT ONLY PROVIDE THE BEST RESULTS ANY OF YOUR STUDENTS HAVE PRODUCED, BUT I WILL PAY YOU BACK 100% of you mentorship cost, as soon as i start making money online.

Thank you for reading this post!

Hi Alex,

thanks a TON for your eBook. I have read your trilogy over the last couple of weeks and they describe my situation down to a T. Flitting around for “guru” to “guru” is what I have been doing since I learnt about the world of IM in November 2009. I googled about how to make money online and et voila, the world of IM unraveled in front of my eyes. At first, I was living in the gurus dream, just like you said most newbies do, but now I want to get out of that vicious cycle and help others like me too.

If I am honest I have read nearly all the comments above this one, and I realise I am not in as bad a position as most of them. Yes Alex, I want you to be my personal mentor because…

Well why do I want to makes money online in the first place anyway? My name is Luke and I am currently 16; I know I have many friends that would laugh at me if they knew I was writing this to you, but I know I will be laughing at them 10x as much when I get to a position you are. The real reason I am looking for more money is that I am aspiring to be a racing driver. At this point in time we are not financially stable enough to support my endeavors of racing. I realised I was never going to get enough money baby sitting, paper round, Saturday job etc… which is why I turned to the internet. But, as I said so far I have unfortunately been living the gurus dream. I never really want a job or to go to uni, as people like you prove to me you don’t need tons of education to be successful, and I want to prove that to others that doubt me as well.

Being a teenager and without a credit card I haven’t spent much money on any eBooks so far (only $17 on one in fact), but I also don’t have that much money to spend in mentoring as you have done in the past. I thought I missed the boat with the first two competitions but it seems I have come at the right time 3 time round.

I really want to be one of Alex’s next successes to follow the career path I want and hopefully help other newbies whilst I “make it” on the internet. I have set up a blog that I am in the process of sorting out, so if I could take a couple of seconds of your time to check it out I would be grateful (still in its very early days).

It would mean the world to me to win your coaching, will you let me realise my dreams?

Again thank you so much for the books and help I have gotten from you so far. Hope you had a good easter :)

Why would I want Alex as my personal mentor ? That’s a good question as I feel my time is valuable.So why would I want to give it to Alex ? Simple DUDE you made a bleiver out of me.

While reading GURUS NIGHTMARE I thought to my self…this is the longest sales letter I ever read…Then much to my surprise, long about page 55 I found my self in one of those rabbit holes.

It was like a bolt from the blue…There I was…learning learning learning…building building building… yes even limited success.

But my INBOX was just stuffed with all those “shiney objects” Not any more is not!!!

Dude it was a personal break through…I would be a fool not to want what your offering.
Jerry Tabor 04.03.10

I just want to say thank you Alex for sharing the truth about what it takes to be successful as an internet marketer.Your in site is incredible. I am 53 now and I have never been a master at anything. I have wasted so much time, with no real success. After reading your report I realize that I have to make some major changes in the way I think and what I focus my attention on. I look forward to those changes, and if possible,I hope to learn them from you. Thanks again Alex.

Greg Blessing 04.03.10

Yes Alax I want you to be my coach and mentor because I am frusterated with trying to make money online with all the promisses of being able to ,make big money with the BS products I have purchesed only to be left confused and not able to put it all together. They say the money is in the list, but I havent been able to find anyone that will show me how to even build that list and where do I even keep that list, one of the things that pisses me off is at the end of nearly every sales page is that you have to buy there product right now or it will be gone forever, that just tells me they want me to buy there product before I find out its no good, I beleave if you are going to put a product out there I would want it to be what someone wants and they could buy it today or tomorrow and it is going to be just as good when they are ready to purchase it or I dont want my name on it. Yes I want to learn marketing but I want to market something usefull, I wont market a ripoff like I see so much of online today. I come from a small town with not a lot of education, I went to work instead of going to school and due to being laid off as there is very little work due to the econamy I am trying to find another way so I went to the internet, I have bought into some marketing plans and failed and keep looking for that plan that is going to get me on the track to make money online and that is how I came across your Guru’s nightmare and you hit the nail on the head in a big way, I think you discribed me like you just seen a movie of my experence in this busness so far, then at the end I read about your contest and got so excited I wanted to send in my coment before the due date and now I am going to go back and get your RSS feed and also see if I can get your Newbies nightmare, and what everelse I can find that you have done because I all ready got so much from what I just read in your Gurus nightmare its obveious you are an honest man and that is a breath of fresh air in this busness. So YES i would very much want to be coached by you and to have you mentor me would be an honer. Thank you. Greg Blessing. P.S. I didn’t see anyplace that on here that said check spelling so you will have to go with the original.
Anne 04.03.10

Alex, you have hit the nail on the head. I have experienced almost every single thing you mentioned in your report. It’s almost frighting just how accurate you are and because of this I have come away with a new insight into MARKETING, not selling. I really do not know anything about marketing so your knowledge is very welcome.

Thanks Alex and have a great day!

Bob Wilson 04.03.10

Dear Alex:
You are my market for this letter. Since you not stand on ceremony, I won’t either. I want something – to be coached by you. More importantly, YOU want something – I’ll tell you more about what you want and how I can help you in a few moments. To quote Gurus Nightmare, “an organization should anticipate the needs and wants of consumers and satisfy these more effectively the competitors.” You are my market, my consumer. All I have to do is write this letter better than my competitors.
First, let’s talk about you since you as my market:

You are a true “people” guy. This is the real key to your success. No one gets to and builds relationships with the likes of Michael Cheney and Rich Schefren without incredible people skills. You are great at involving and energizing people – and especially at getting them to care about you and help you. You are a blessed! This is perhaps the most important skill in the world after the ability to love. (Not incidentally, you need to get back to a public gym or invite people into your own. I just don’t see you working out by yourself. You need people around you to energize you. Going into that room and sweating all by yourself is not your thing).

You don’t sweat the details. You know that people can be found to help you with the details when and where you need them. Your writing and video are engaging but “rough cut” – and they work! You come across as an honest guy who can deliver the big Internet marketing picture – and you know that’s all that matters. You’re happy to hand off the details to other people – so you get your wife to write your books – and maybe shoot the Gurus Nightmare video. I’ll tell you why I think it was shot by a female when we talk.

Your great talent is making “big ideas” workable. You’re able to simplify things. Moving from Prospect to Marketer is a clear, simple description of what it takes to win at Internet marketing. The engine is a marketing system to run the business. You know that engine very well and can teach it. Everybody in Internet marketing needs the engine.

Now I can tell you what you want. What you really want to do is share your marketing ideas with the world. I heard a guru described Internet marketing as a $3.3 billion business. This is just a medium-size market (say, compared to a big market like the American furniture market which at the last U.S. Census was $67 billion). The interesting thing is that Internet marketing impacts every business and every person. The knowledge you have can change the whole world if properly applied. I’d like to talk with you about how I can help you get there.

I look forward to being coached by you and to talking soon. Regards, Bob

Hi Alex,

I just wanted to leave a massive “Thank You” for the Guru’s Nightmare.

Having read it the first time, I actually thought you were writing about ‘me’ personally!

I am that “prospect” you describe so well, & can honestly resemble the mindset that goes with being one. I just about buy up any program that glistens off the Sales pages, & the results are all the same, a big fat zilch, nada, nothing.
The thing is Alex, I get what I deserve by my carry on, ‘cos I am really caught up in the “Quick-easy” solutions, rather than looking at the bigger picture as that, by Creating & Marketing an IM business long term, involves a massive learning process that requires dedication, focus, patience & time.
I was a student of MWA 2 back in Nov.’08 & dropped out because I didn’t know how to create a Blog. When I did a little research on how to do this, I then got cold feet, as I felt I had nothing to offer in terms of content & really, I lost belief too easily in what it was that you were conveying. Subsequently, I went back to my good friend “Google”, with credit card in hand & carried on spending in the hope that I would find a program that was going to be the answer to my Money-making problems.

But, to no avail….

I have now read your report 3 times in all, & I’m still “raw” at what I can only see as me, being such an Ass this past 16 months or so.
I have taken action insofar as I have gone back to studying your course again,MWA 2), with a clean slate & with a willingness to devote the time & energy to learning & implementing its content.

Alex, I don’t deserve to be considered for inclusion in your offer after my behaviour with MWA 2, & would ask not to be considered, as I feel there are many people far more worthy & deserving of this wonderful opportunity.

With much gratitude for what I can only describe as a “Kick-ass report”, & best wishes with the new program!

Kind regards

Kieran

Greetings Alex …

Thank you for an enlightening and entertaining eBook and the kick in the butt I needed …

I successfully ran brick and motor businesses and made my bosses a ton of money …

As I approach retirement, I realize the Social Security system in the United States is in financial jeopardy … so I turned to Internet marketing …

I got trapped in “information overload” trying to learn all the differences between the real and vitual marketplaces … (there are few – people are people)

Thank you … I found as I read your eBook that I have strong urges to get “into it” … I decided to procrastinate long enought to complete your eBook … it was worth finishing …

May your stores be abundant to overflowing …

Now I must go work on my business adventure …

Regards … Ken

Alex-Great article, and right on the money. Your advice reitterates what some great psychologists concluded. People learn by doing, not by learning about. I have worked with 2 mentors recently and am finally moving. Hiring a webmaster allowed me to delegate the techy stuff, as you did. BUT, this field requires so much knowledge on the marketing side that I truly look forward to learning more from you and your strategies. You have studied with the best, proven your mastery (the testimonials do reinforce that), and I would be delighted to be your student.

Corey 04.03.10

Why do I want coaching with Alex Jeffreys? Well, when looking for a mentor/coach you want the best out there, and you Alex are one of the BEST. I been trying to make it online for years, after reading your ebook I come to realize that I need to do a 360 degree change. I was always buying product that claim to “make you RICH over night” and what happen I was making them RICH over night!!! Alex I have almost became broke trying all kind of Making Money opportunity online. I really need this opportunity to bring my family out this deeply hold I dug us into. IF I can be one of your “students I PROMISE that I will NOT fail” Plus with you guidance how can I FAIL. Hope you and your family have a good Easter, especially you kid.

Talk to you soon.

Hi Alex,

Top bloke you are and you give away some top good quality FREE stuff, that in my books gotto to be good.

I would love to be mentored by your great self but at the moment cannot afford to spend any more dosh as I’ve run out :o(

I’ve just recently bought Andrew Fox’s AM, still waiting for it, bought through you of course so I,m looking forward to doing some stuff with you as my gift…..

Keep up the great work and keep letting us have the great content.

Richard Barr 04.03.10

Yes !!!!!! — Alex I want you to be my personal Mentor because … I have always believed things happen in life for a good reason – they can be good —– or they can be bad but they always teach us something – the thing is —- its not always obvious what that is at the time —- especially when it’s a bad thing .

In life we all have had a mentor if we look closely enough – parents – a teacher at school — a good friend — or a person that we have read about that inspires us —in reading your free report The Gurus Nightmare —

In this reports you gave me more pointers than all the reports I have read over the past year –

I have been caught in the usual nightmare of wondering who to believe — and just like you were — I am now at my personal cross roads — its very obvious I need a mentor in this market — and as a newbe I have very limited resources ( almost — zilch – nada – nothing – LOL ).

BUT I HAVE A BURNING PASHON – to make a living online and use the talents god gave me – the ability to communicate — I have had experience in many fields over the years – I have even taught myself the basics of H T M L and Java to build 3 web sites – 1 for my own offline biz – 1 for my good friend tony – and 1 – my very first site – this won a golden web award

It always seems to come back to communication – my wife many times has said your skills are wasted – so over the past year I have looked — researched – and studied – all the ways an online biz would be possible.

I believe in positive thoughts bring positive results – and negative thoughts also have the same impact — that’s the main thrust of the book and vid – the secret. – I have always use poz thoughts – in fact I have a controversial saying I always use — that you should always use P M A — NOT – P M T – in life — now it may not be politically correct and I don’t want to — or wish to upset or offend anyone – if I have please accept my VERY sincere apologies — but on the flip side — it dose make people sit up and think – HUMMMM I wonder ????

Then I landed on your report – BANG !!!! — your offer to mentor –major turning point for me — and after doing some background research on you online – I have found everything you said is true about how well known and respected you are in the online community –

So here we are at that cross roads again – do you offer me a free place or not — ?? – you decide – I know if you do offer me a place – then it will have a snowball effect – I have the same philosophies as you – and when I am established enough I will be offering the same to another person – SOOOOO – not only will I be able to realise my dream – and make a comfortable living – I will also be then in a position to pay others to use there skills – and also give someone else a brake – OPPPPP S duck here comes that snow ball again

I look forward to your reply

Regards

Richard
Frank Carlson 04.03.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because your description of the IM “wannaby” in Gurus Nightmare is me.

In my three-year journey through the internet-marketing world I have made just about, if not all, of the mistakes, errors, stumbles described.

I read the book last night, then went over it again this morning, made coffee, took toast, juice and coffee up to Jean (if she knew why she got breakfast in bed I’m sure there’s a hug in it for you) looked in the mirror and saw, for the first time a clear picture of me on the wrong path.

I am, or was, a business builder, with a pretty good track record. I recognized the difference from a business manager but didn’t connect it to the IM field.

In my previous life, I built the business then turned it over to the owners who ran it. Strangely, the difference never registered until your book. It explained in one short phrase why I have enjoyed the pleasures of failure as an Internet Marketer.

I have learned lots of skills; HTML, blogging, copywriting, buying crap, ignoring good advice from marketers to name a few. It’s now time to turn this around and you’re the fellow to do it with me.

This is not my desire for a short cut to success; it is a need to gain a mentor for the long term. I can see hard work, a learning curve to change my path and a lot of fun with product development, JV’s, etc., and, I must confess, pleasure in your praise for a job well done.

Additionally, in my life as a builder the one thing I knew is that, at the end of the day, the size of your bank account is not an end; it is your report card.

Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this life changing adventure.

Best regards,
Frank Carlson

Bryan Zimmerman 04.03.10

Yes Alex, I want you to be my personal mentor because your way of thinking is dead on with mine. I am not new to Internet Marketing by any means and have been very successful in the short amount of time (less than 2 years)I have been doing this with personal products as well as affiliate marketing. I have created two products already that sold over 3000 copies combined and have netted me over 60K by doing things in the same way you do. With integrity and honesty. I learned a long time ago about the “hype” you speak of in not only this last report you have written, but also in previous works you have released and how getting building relationships with people is the way to go.

I know that a huge part of taking your business to the next level is building relationships with people that are at a higher level and can help take things to the next level. Also involved is the drive to succeed and the willingness to put in the time and effort to see tasks through. I have dug in, done my homework and made myself successful. I have done these things while working a 60 hour a week construction job and many times going on 4 hours of sleep a night to make it work. I have watched one of your other students (Dean Holland) become quite successful in his own right in the last year or so.

I have no doubt, by the obvious success that you have already achieved and the success that I have achieved, if we work together we can both benefit greatly.

Look forward to talking with you
Bryan
John Patterson 04.03.10

Hello Alex,
You never cease to amaze me with the content that you give your students. I was one of your class of 500 who has had some success online but not as much as I had hoped for.
I took notice of your thread that traffic is the life blood of a successful internet business and with this in mind I am about to launch a targeted membership website that is great for newbies, has has free stuff and gets targeted visitors to any website.
What would help me greatly would be to win a free coaching place on your new course to really get this site flying.
Failing that perhaps you would consider doing a JV with me?
As the old saying goes, if you don’t ask you don’ get.
Best regards,
John
Brian 04.03.10

Yes Alex, I would indeed appreciate your mentorship.
In truth I can’t say I am a more worthy recipient than any other, as I can only say I believe I would be a worthy, deserving, grateful and seriously great choice if that was your decision. I’m an ex-business owner that took his eye off the ball a few years back and lost near everything (including home), so show little now for many years of ethical effort and huge output.
To my shame my wife and kids suffer with me.
I wrote several business ebooks 2 years ago and outsourced the set up and site build, only to be robbed by the web-builder due to my inexperience at anything internet.
Since then I have bought many many ebooks and courses but now realise I have only ever needed a mentor that I could believe in.
In truth, with no bullshit Alex, I totally empathise with your honesty, diligence, drive and ethics. Like you I thoroughly dislike those contemptuous dogs that pillage the ignorant by deceptive selling and know the only way forward is to create fair exchange.
To be a recipient of your mentoring could only provide me with the right tools to help others to escape the bottom feeders. Doesn’t genuine altruism feel good. Commendable Alex. You have my respect regardless. I will genuinely envy the lucky few. Brian

ps. The above url is only a few days old and is one planned step back to some income. I have been studying social marketing for weeks too because I can smell the value there…like you I have started to recognise the way the web is evolving……I have also innovated two very interesting pieces of software that will be produced soon: one helps marketers and one helps email recipients.
Devon 04.03.10

Hey Alex,
Thanks for Gurus Nightmare- how long did it take to put together nearly 100 pages? Probably much longer than reading it undoubtedly!…and how long will it take you to go through 100s of these comments!!

How will you decide the lucky 5 to get to be personally coached by YOU!? I’m sure you’re looking for someone worthy, someone that will actually use the coaching as a vehicle to real success. So who needs it the worst? That’s hard to say, but everyone probably says they do…so why do I?

I’m at the point where having a coach is the #1 thing that would help me succeed online.

You’re going to have to take a chance on someone,
so WHY NOT ME?
Patty Ledoux 04.03.10

Why do I want Alex to be my coach? I have been trying to build an online business for some time. As you’ve mentioned in Guru’s Nightmare, I have been sucked into “the newest and best internet marketing” hype. I have a million different pieces of the puzzle, but too many holes so the big picture isn’t there. I have been scammed by a “guru”, who, through his call center has succeeded in taking my money, with the only thing to show are maxed out credit cards.

I truly believe that once I learn to make money online, I can help other people who are in the same predicament I am in. I have been unemployed for over a year, so I wanted to start my own business. I feel once I learn how to earn a living on line, I will have the ability to help those you desperately need help. It’s very stressful trying different tactics when I’m trying to market my site when I’m not even sure of what it is I need to do. Everything you mentioned in your report hit home as I have been making the same mistakes.

I enjoyed Guru’s Nightmare, spelling error and all. It’s one of the best reports yet.

Regards,
Patty
Jamie Henderson 04.03.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because…you are doing exactly what I dreamed of doing over 5 years ago!

NOT just Internet Marketing…or making a lot of money, although those things are part of my goal too :)

It is your exact marketing strategy and plan for your business. About 5 years ago I wanted to start a company called “Truth Marketing” where I would not sell hype or lies just to make money ever. I wouldn’t even try to sell affiliate products unless I KNEW for sure that the customer would actually be blessed by the end results!

I even had a slogan which I am getting ready to put on my blog I’m building now…since I’m still going through your last coaching program. The slogan is ” The great OZ and the curtain pulled away! ”

I never got past the hype and technical details to make that a reality…although I never quit trying either…and I am making some progress now with your help.

I always wanted to be “The One” to bring this awesome business model to the marketplace in a big way…to help as many “5 year newbies” like myself as possible to escape the Gurus Grasp, as I like to call it. :)

However, since that did not happen for me so long ago, I am super excited to be a small part in the REVOLUTION that you are creating online now.

To work with you (someone that is completely like minded and super successful) one on one to reach for my long lost goal will make ALL the difference in the world, not just for me but for all the “newbies” I know I can and will help. My ULTIMATE goal being realized.

Thanks for reading Alex, ( I know you WILL read this, and that’s what makes you different) :)

Jamie Henderson
Joseph Ratliff 04.03.10

Hi Alex, I’ve read “Guru’s Nightmare” and while I’m not looking for mentorship right now…I thought I would pass along my comments on the report itself.

What I like most about your report is you make some DEEP promises in the beginning…and live up to every promise by the end. I’ve read it twice to “jump inside your head”…and I must say, you know the REAL way to make money using the Internet.

My advice to anyone reading Alex’s report…read it again, at least twice, so you get the most out of it.

It’s great stuff.
Paul Teague 04.03.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because …

I’ve been trying to get my online business going for some time, but the first Internet Marketing event I’d ever attended was in February this year in Newcastle … you were there, so you know which one!

I’ll admit to my embarrassment now that I didn’t know who many of the people were in the room, but as I learnt the names, I checked them out on my laptop when I got back to my hotel room.

One thing struck me .. virtually everybody in that room was getting mentoring from you and … they were all doing better online than me!

I’ve snooped, and checked out what everybody’s doing under your guidance, and I’ve already picked up some of the ideas that you’ve taught them in your past coaching program.

Hey, I’ve even teamed up with some of your students, and we’ve been working together on joint webinars since that event.

One big thing I learned that weekend … and it was like the proverbial penny dropping for me.

Everybody who succeeds online got themselves a mentor.

And those who have already succeeded online get a mentor who’s doing better than them to grow their business even more.

So I want to get myself a mentor … and I’m seeing and hearing great things about what you do and I want a piece of the action.

I know I can’t do this thing alone, the real power comes from partnerships.

So I’m in Alex, I’d love to learn how you do it and how you can take what I’m doing already and turn it into a proper business.

All the best, Paul
Rich Bledsoe 04.03.10

Dear Alex,

I’ve been working like crazy at this ever since I got sick and spent 4 months in the hospital. When I got out, I found that I had lost my house, my car, my job and my phone. I’ve been jobless and homeless for the last 2 years. This economy is crazy!

I know with some good “cookbook” mentoring, I could succeed… I’m NOT lazy – just ignorant of the success formulas needed. I need to be “spoon-fed” some correct info, so I can follow correct procedure, and get out of this mess for me and my 2 teenage daughters. They’re good kids and deserve something better.

Thanx in advance for your consideration.

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because after reading your report Gurus Nightmare, you made it unequivocally clear that you have got this internet marketing game down. The report was absolutely brilliant! You spoke specifically to me and I’m sure a lot of people when you wrote that report.

I didn’t really see the truth about myself so clearly until after I read your report and am so glad I did. I’ve seen your name at various times in my email box and never really pursued it very far because I just figured you were probably another one of the many of self-professed gurus who were simply trying to pitch me something.

I have to admit I have been the epitome of the prospect you talked about in your report, and it’s really quite amazing that I allowed this to happen to me because I’ve been in the sales and marketing profession for so many years. Every job or income generating position I’ve ever had in my entire life was sales and/or marketing related. So it just blows me away that with what I know I allowed myself to fall inter the never ending hole of buying product after product after product looking for the magic bullet that would FINALLY make it all work out alright.

Well, obviously it never did work out alright, and as a result of being one of those perpetual prospects you mentioned I downloaded free report after free report, bought course after course, and product after product, never getting where I was trying to go, and never getting the clarity that I finally got after I read your report. The first thing I did after reading your report was go to my email accounts and unsubscribe to any and everybody who I didn’t know as someone that was providing value. NO MORE BEING THE PROSPECT FOR ME!

I don’t know what the criteria is that you will be using using to determine who will be chosen as the winners for your upcoming coaching program, but I do know that NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY is as ferociously hungry, driven and determined to succeed online as I am right now. I have pissed away many, many years and an insane amount of time and money buying into the traps, myths and untruths. My pursuit has cost me a marriage and multiple relationships because I dedicated so much time and lost so much money looking for the answers, but never finding them, and instead found myself being sucked deeper and deeper into the abyss.

Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because after reading through your report and looking at what you’ve accomplished, where you came from, and who you’ve helped, I know you would be the ideal person and mentor for me to learn from and model. I am ready to be your ideal and the most tenacious student you could ever imagine. All I need is the “correct” guidance and direction and nothing can stop me from making the impact, helping the people, and earning the money that I’ve paid such a dear price so far to have. I AM ABSOLUTELY AND POSITIVELY READY TO MAKE YOU PROUD AND HAPPY THAT YOU CHOSE ME TO BE ONE OF THE LUCKY FIVE!

Yours sincerely,

William

“Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I know you know, what you do know!

You’ve got everything from an 80 year old man and a teenager that need your help, but the description in your eBook about the morning routine… was ME!

“A prospect will start the day online, checking emails and reading a lot of promotions in their inbox.” (If there was only something really worth checking my email for…)

Your comments were pathetically tragic and glaringly targeted. How could anyone like myself, who wants IM success in the worst way, be “floundering” so drastically? HORRIFYING AND FACT!

Submitting a “boat load” of articles everyday, just to be #1 in Google for traffic is not my idea of fun. I know who every Guru and IM is. (My inbox proves it!) I’ve been marketed to by EVERY ONE of them.

I’m a “task oriented” guy… without a task. But without the “right task,” I’m dying in this business. If I had the privilege of having you mentor me, I’d give it my full effort 8 hours a day and would be willing to be your “poster child” as your success story…!

Two things have to happen now… I have to be one of your 20 choices and I need to be a success!

I’ve got to get this off my chest before I explode

How a 50-year old, balding, highly motivated former couch potato
turned his life and finances around by the coaching and mentor-ship of Alex Jeffreys, the internet’s
favorite son for marketing expertise and excellence

Hi…my name is Mark Moses

Are you like me?

Do you struggle and strain to just get by?

Do you look out there and say to yourself, “How is that Dumbo doing it? I’m just as creative…just as smart…He must know something I don’t”

Have you put up that WordPress blog expecting the riches that the gurus tell you is just around the corner?

Have you invested countless amounts of time, money and sweat into products and projects that have not panned out?

STOP

The Key…..FIND A MENTOR

I’d like to be picked by Alex. I know that I would be one his prize protégés.

But you know what, regardless of his choice, I’ve made up my mind to go find a mentor.

I was convinced by reading his latest amazing ( I know kissing up) Guru’s Nightmare!

I’m like a lot of you and will not be able to afford Alex’s training.

But if you don’t get picked…try this…I am.

1. Go to Clickbank’s Marketplace
2. Find a popular product…NOT INTERNET MARKETING
3. Go down to maybe the number five (5) most popular product for that niche.
4. Contact the author
5. Tell the author how much you admire their work
6. Tell them you’d like to have an hour of their time
7. AND THIS IS IMPORTANT…tell them you will donate a day of volunteer work IN THEIR NAME to their favorite charity.
8. When they say, yes, interview them.
9. Ask them about their success and how they got there.
10. If it goes well and you seem to hit it off, ask them if they would like to have a protegé.
11. Tell them you will record all the sessions so they can build a coaching program.
12. And you can be their very first success story for the coaching program.

They could then sell this coaching program as an up-sell to their current product line.
Hope this was helpful.

Good luck to all of you.

And…Yes, Alex, I want you to be my personal mentor because….

Yours in Service,
Mark

Alex, I want you to become my mentor – so that you have someone in your 5 that will constantly bug you every day with questions to the point of being annoying.
Burl Morgan 04.03.10

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I want to spend the rest of my life helping people. I have been a truck driver for the last 26 plus years & have tried a number of bizz opps with no success. I have done some advertising on traffic exchanges & some social networks. After reading Guru’s Nightmare, I could see where I went wrong on the marketing end of things. My purpose for doing an online bussiness was to supplement my income & maybe retire from my job a little sooner. To have time freedom to spend with your family & help others is “Priceless”. I have always believed in working smarter instead of harder, & I also believe that there’s no substitute for hard work either. I’m looking foward to the webinar & really thank you for the free report.

Yes, Alex I want you to be my personal mentor because I need a trusted source to help me reach my goal faster. I already know I’ll succeed as a marketer it’s just a matter of time. I’m thinking that your mentoring will be similar to some “time compression” machine.
I’ve always succeeded in everything I’ve put my mind into learning. Any form of technology or process can be learned and mastered with the right teachers/mentors. For instance, I could learn how to play golf by reading a book or watching video and I’d know the basics. As I actually got out there and did some golfing I’d get better over time, but, If I had a golf mentor that could show me where I was making mistakes and tell me how to correct them then I could go on to play in the PGA. I don’t want to just play golf, I want to be in the PGA. I’m ready to be taught by you, are you ready to teach me?

I’m a young, nearly 67, ex accountant destined to be an internet millionaire by the time I reach 70. Beginning in February this year and mainly using Youtube tutorials I set up a WordPress blog, achieved page 1 on Google but have yet to get the magic traffic, and I admit I am struggling. I am currently building a presence on a number of social media sites and preparing articles to publish on Ezine Articles, but then how do I turn these into buyers? Yes your help would be invaluable in getting me to my goal by my 70th.

As in, it made no money. Purchased with thousands and still I don’t have any training to teach me what I am doing. Here I am, begging you to ‘kick my ass’ – in a good way of course. I just want to know what to do. After all the courses, that funnel to legal help, and funnell to tax help, and funnel on and on – all running my credit card way up that they won’t accept anymore – what do I do now to get online? Nobody has ever returned my calls and offered any instruction. I cannot believe that I can’t make money online. You say you can do it without a website…WOW! How about me? That is what I want to do. Earn enough income to live.
Will 04.03.10

Yes, Alex, I want you to be my personal mentor because…

Well, because I’ve come to realize, over the last year of study and halting starts, that becoming successful at marketing online is something that’s too hard to learn on my own.

That’s hard for me to admit. See, when I’m at work (in my “day job,” that is) I’m a different person. I get things done. I sink my teeth into challenges. I learn, I delegate, I teach, I coach. If there’s something I can’t figure out, I reach out to my network and enlist help. When my boss gives me a project, I don’t stop until it’s done and and done right and I’m not happy until I’ve exceeded expectations.

So why can’t I be like that in my own business? It’s not laziness, because I’m not lazy. There’s fear there, sure, and a little embarrassment at having accomplished so little so far. But I think the biggest challenge I’ve had so far is that I don’t have a system and I’m not accountable to anyone to build one. That’s why your coaching program, with its community of fellow students, appeals to me. I know that I’m ultimately answerable only to myself, but when I’m able to join a program like yours I’ll have a coach and a team that I’ll feel like I can’t let down. I’ll have people to learn from and people to help with what I know already and what I’ll have mastered along the way. And just as important, I’ll be learning a system that makes sense to me and that feels ethical, one I’ll be proud to teach my family and friends because it provides so much value to customers and prospects.

Take me on as a student, Alex. I’ll make you proud

Hi Alex, I want you to be my mentor because…I’M SO READY FOR CHANGE!
And, I am so excited to hear that the ‘Guru times are coming to an end’. I am sick to death of these gurus and their tactics.

My last association with these guys left a rancid taste in my mouth. I started to promote ‘make money online’ programs but I couldn’t sleep at night knowing that the programs were nothing but exagerated hipe. I felt I was the scammer and I didn’t want my name associated with these people so…I stopped everything.

Before I stopped my campaign, I manage to get small list of about 110 people and they, and my future lists, are waiting for me to give them honest, over the top helpful information and products… And I Need Your Help!

Regards, Sandy
