A couple years ago Ian was living at his parents house trying to make his first dollars online.
Today Ian is not only successful,
He’s shot himself up the copywriter rankings and is kind of a big deal now.
Because of Ian’s success, and the fact that he’s got an email marketing course out right now,
He’s the perfect person to share the microphone and help me turn the tables for the big One Zero Zero podcast:
In this episode Ian interviews me on my journey way back from pre-McMethod days of misled youth,
..to finally discovering a purpose… and flat out going for it.
There are tangents. And stories. And tons of great advice and nuggets of wisdom.
This interview illustrates how sucking it up and moving forward with purpose in life is a transformational process.
How it completely transformed me..
It shows that when you want something in life,
You CAN attain it.
The McMethod Podcast is proof of this.
Ian’s journey is another wonderful example, and proof of this.
Because luck and opportunity don’t just fall on your lap.
Sometimes you have to power forward until you find those opportunities and force luck to find you.
This episode has a lot of mine and Ian’s thoughts on getting started, growing, and handling the inevitable ups and downs.
After hearing it,
You’ll be able to apply the same strategies,
And in the long run you’ll be on top..
You’ll benefit from now having the necessary mindset needed to keep yourself going until you succeed.
