How much will it cost?


My Guess Number 1
What are the chances of the forthcoming release costing $1,997


My Guess Number 2
My other alternative is just $1 with a monthly continuity of $97


Place your bets now...

$2,997,- for *everything* they've released and you can have it for free if you pay $1,- and stay for 1 year at $97,-/month at their "personal training coach program", where you can listening to web-broadcast and case studies ;-)

playing M.U.D. (multi-user-domains... text-based online,
non-linear RPG).

Thanks for trying to be a more relate-able person even
though you don't have to be. Thanks for being you, John.

You're awesome =)

I can't believe I just wasted 16 minutes of my life watching this crap

[BJ Min]

hey john,

i give much credit for you for stepping out and expressing your story...i also was most of my life a shy and introverted type of guy...so i understand...but yah...it's cool to see you step out and just express yourself...there may be some haters out there...but i think what's most important is that you are who you are...everyone has ups and downs...no one is perfect...who cares you're introverted...being an introvert is great because you are probably more perceptive and so forth...

anyways...thanks for your honest post...it's cool to see someone step out and share his real side...much credit to you man...

John Reese,

That was very cool of you to share with us your personal side like that. I related more to what you had to say than you'll ever know.

Aside from bugging you a few times over the years for some bizz.nizz advice (which I took to heart), I know you know that there are so many of us who are truly inspired by you. I hang on every word you have to say, as tons of others do too.

I'm glad you are back and the passion is back too. There are many who are behind you. More than you realize I think. I too get caught up in the vocal minority and take it personally too. I think it's pride.

I often pay much more attention (and give energy to) those who spew negativity about me or my stuff, rather than focus on the positive ones - the passionate and inspired ones.

When i read what you wrote here in this thread, it reminded me to be grateful for the customers and followers who appreciate (or love) what I provide them, and ignore the others (or at least not let it effect me). hard to do.

I just want you to know that there are folks like me who are extremely inspired by you. I hold you way way up there high on a pedestal in my little world. So, you rock on man and to hell with the vocal minority. They know no better.

Also - I met Tony at the SANG event in Vegas last Spring. It was pretty cool seeing him sitting in the audience two tables away from me on his Macbook. I was nervous just saying hi. Shooting a video with him must have been a thrill.

Thanks for the advice you've provided me here and there, it's meant a ton.

Eric Louviere
PS - who is that other hippie guy in the video with you and Tony?

[Shaun OReilly]

I've read through most of the replies in this thread and
am dismayed at some of the comments. Particularly
those slating the way Frank's sat on the sofa or how
shocked John Reese supposedly looks.

If you're focusing on that type of superficial stuff, you're
missing the point.

It's a bit like watching an interview of Donald Trump and
focusing on his (admittedly) ridiculous hairstyle. C'mon
guys - he's a billionaire - surely you can learn more from
the man inside, than just looking at his outside appearance.

Though John may come across as reserved, detached and
some may say 'boring' - he's been that way for years and
at least he's consistent. In fact, I'd be more worried if he
went into the room whoopin' and wailin' and givin' high fives
to Tony every five minutes.

If you look at all of the big guns in IM they all have strong
and consistent personalities. Maybe learn from that instead
of focusing on the minutea of how someone looks.

Admittedly, Frank was a bit more reserved and I was
surprised not to see him almost horizontal on the sofa
with his barefeet on a table.

I met Tony Robbins back in 1998 in Milan, Italy and he's
a HUGE guy with an overwhelming presence. I'm not
surprised they were both a little more reserved.

There's the message and the messanger(s).

So, onto the message.

It started off poorly and incongruously (for me) with the
obviously made up storyline of driving around and 'dropping
by' to see Tony Robbins.

If you want to add some entertainment at the start of the
video then at least make it congruous otherwise you run
the risk of tainting everything that's said in the interview
later.

And the interview?

Good content if you haven't heard much of Robbins' stuff
before. He's been preaching the 'take massive action' gospel
for well over two decades now and people still aren't doing
it - including many of his own customers.

Maybe it's time to change your approach Tony!

Sure, belief, certainty and getting rid of internal blocks are
a key factor - if you want to achieve anything in life.

But pumping yourself up into a peak state will only get you
so far. And motivational 'suntan seminars' only produce an
effect for a week or two in most cases.

Like Tony's old mentor, Jim Rohn says, "If you get an idiot
and you motivate him, now all you've got is a motivated
idiot!"

If you're looking for the secret to massive success in IM or
any other field the answer is right in front of your eyes:

They're amongst the hardest working and best marketers in
their respective fields.

Contrary to popular belief, Frank Kern works his tail off.
The surfer dude rides the waves but he ain't no slacker.

Looking at the video through a marketer's eyes, it'll be
interesting to see what gets launched at the end of this
ride.

Dedicated to your success,

Shaun

I just watched the second video too... and I really don't understand what's so special about them. All they say is "you gotta believe in yourself to succeed". Well... duh, obviously!

You can in fairness condense almost all subject matter down to it's bare components, but irrelevent, some people really don't understand that the mental aspect of sucess is vital and while I agree, you can condense a message to a few simple words, sometimes people need to hear it.

For the 10 minutes or so it takes to watch the video, in which presumably we couldn't cure cancer or solve the problems of time travel, it didn't feel like I wasted the time in invested.

[pi365]

Excellent video. Thanks for the link.

[mahasaya]

Tony Robbins has been around for some time now and there's no denying his authoritative status as "getting people to understand themselves" guru, whether he uses NPL or not.

It hîs proven yet again that intelligence is not about knowledge or how clever you are, but how you USE your intelligence to put WHAT YOU KNOW into action and making it work so it can help you achieve you own goals.

The essence of the message is clear and has been repeated over and over again:

Believe that you can and see yourself doing, actually achieving what you can and it will happen. You create your own reality. If things are not working out for you, 99% of the time it is because your own BELIEFS are creating this reality for you.

[gareth]

I love this community :-)

So far I only saw the Reese / Robbins video as the others just wouldn't load - must be getting hammered.

Yeah not taking action is the monkey on my back.

How do I kill this monkey ???

Moffat - you can do 10 million a year bro - go hard !!!

As for personal change, its interesting to look at others and see the things they could change but everybody seems to be going through the motions and meeting social demands and expectations.

Man there are big things I set out to achieve in life 20 years ago - still unfullfilled

I could do these things in a few months with the right "ACTIONS"

Anyway I'm sure many of us here at WF will achieve great things in the years to come.

Tony Robbins has endorsed our boys Kern & Reese - I know Kern is after a presidential endorsement next ;-)

[Twonickle]

@ John Reese,
I guess when your the "Big Dog" your also the big target!

Good luck and leave some room for the small fish!

[RecurringRevenue]

Loved the core of the videos.

Super strong info and practical mindshift examples.

Though it's funny people are hitting Frank and John so hard. Uh... this is pre-launch content... for Tony's product. Tony's the headliner.

As Frank came in and explained (as if you didn't already know) the vid wasn't created from a spur of the moment call in car. Tony - "acting" surprised the guys showed up. Cheesy, but that doesn't change the impact of the content.

M.R.

But doesn't the small fish mindset - and hero worship undermine the whole point ?

I dont wanna be a small fish - I wanna make a **** load of fricken' money !!!

Actually, that sums up only the first video. Maybe you should watch the
second one closer if that's all you got out of it.

The second video tells you to focus on that first dollar to start with.
Instead of going at it with a goal of making a million before you've even
made a dollar, you need to focus on that first dollar and build from there.

Besides, you aren't the only forum member around here. Just because YOU
already (think you) know the stuff in the vids, doesn't mean EVERYONE here
knows as well. You can see from the massive amount of posts in this thread
that many people DO enjoy them and just perhaps it will help some people.

[timesaver22]

That's a great video for any one to sit and spend a few mins on.Not just internet marketers a lot of tonys work is based around modelling people who better then the three people in this vid to base yourself around...

I'm really glad so many people are getting a lot from this video. I certainly got a TON out of spending the day with Tony. There's a 2nd video coming soon (2-3 days?) that is just Tony and I talking - he's more or less interviewing me this time about some things.

I just wanted to chime in on a few things that were said above about me in regards to me not being happy or showing no emotion, etc. Obviously, I don't 'have' to defend myself and even address these comments, but I'd like to.

Most people that know of me don't really know much about me. I mean on a personal level. And I just thought I'd share some things (for whatever it's worth) for those that even care...

I am extremely INTROVERTED and am a borderline recluse at times. There's a reason some of my close friends lovingly call me "Howard Hughes." I am also a very PRIVATE person. On top of all that, I grew up as an extremely SHY kid. From age 10+ I was a hacker that spend the majority of his life behind a computer. While other kids were out playing and going to the arcade and to the mall, I was spending quality time with my keyboard and 1200 baud Hayes modem.

Because of these things, for much of my life I have been SOCIALLY AWKWARD. Hey, it's just who I am and how things worked out. I'm still working at improving it but it is what it is. When I am around really close friends I can be a completely different, outgoing person. But I still struggle at times with crowds of strangers and people I don't know very well.

There's a reason no one saw photos of for me online for nearly 7+ years. That stupid Auction Secrets headshot of me with the shiny blue shirt (and the often badly photoshopped hair when someone tries to edit that photo) is one of the only photos people saw of me for YEARS. Then slowly but surely I put a few more online or others did.

I also haven't been on video much by choice. It's just... well... WEIRD for me. I'm trying to get better at it and really WANT to do more videos and stuff, it's just something I have to get over. I hope to start putting out more videos in the near future.

Anyone that ever saw me on a panel at a seminar knows that many people would often ask others, "Why is John Reese so angry?" Heh. It's not that I'm angry or unhappy... I'm just an INTENSE person. That 'stressed' look you often see on my face is simply INTENSITY. My brain is busy processing things a million miles a second. I suffer from extreme ADD and when someone is talking to me I really have to focus intently or my mind will wander.

There's a reason I don't do the "seminar circuit." I could probably make another million or two a year just doing a lot of speaking. As I said, I don't do well with crowds and strangers. Now don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed giving the few speeches and presentations that I have (because I love to teach) but seminars are ROUGH for me. One, because selling from the stage is not my thing (I just don't feel comfortable doing it) and two, because I'm introverted and get a little weirded-out when tons of people start coming up to me.

So as far as me not smiling or whatever, I honestly am not thinking about that when I'm trying to stay focused and listen to someone (as well as process what they are saying). But I actually AM trying to work on this and smile more. I do take those comments as constructive criticism. It's just a tough battle against who you naturally are -- I'm sure I'm not the only one that has a lot of these traits that I've just described.

Continuing on...



I have seen you take several 'shots' like this at me before, and I don't blame you one bit, you're entitled to your opinion and comments. But while I'm in the 'expressive' mood and sharing all this personal stuff about myself, I might as well continue and share some things with you that you probably don't know about...

For much of the past 3 years or so I went through some major personal challenges. I lost my only brother and my grandmother that I was very close to. I also lost one of my closest friends (that I had known since childhood) to cancer. And on top of that I, personally, went through some health issues.

So the big 'mystery' behind why I didn't create more products and complete more projects (as well as why some of my big projects got delayed) is simple... I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT.

I had a lot of other issues that to me took up more of my life and were more important than making more money. So I went through a long stretch of not creating a lot of new stuff and not progressing some of the projects that I had started. In a nutshell... I LOST MY PASSION for my business. Those other things were just weighing so heavily on me, and like I just mentioned, struggling from severe ADD makes it nearly impossible to focus on any work at all when every few seconds the mind starts thinking about these other deep, personal things. I would literally become mentally PARALYZED and just couldn't make myself do any work.

Anyway, moving on... didn't mean to turn this thread into a 'downer'... I just thought I'd clear the air about some things once and for all. Not that it's anyone's business, but just because I wanted to share them as maybe others can relate.

The moral of the story... life is a work in progress. We all have major stuff to deal with throughout our lives, and for the past few years I've dealt with my own share. I am happy to say, though, that I'm past all of that now and GOT MY FIRE BACK for my business. And now I'm finally getting back to work and moving forward with my projects.

To whoever actually made it this far, thanks for listening.

-John Reese

Hey John,

*HIGH FIVE*...we're alike to a large extent...

Might want to try out Holosync - it did help remove to some degree the social awkwardness I feel when being with people...

[katiec]

Nothing makes me happier and more determined than a Tony Robbins speech. THANKS!

[BaldwinKoo]

This video is amazing! Reminds me of "The Secret".

[Christophe Young]

Wow John, just saw your post. I can't believe how similar you are to me in regards to introversion. When I first saw the comments about you not smiling, looking intense, etc... I said to myself, "yep, there's an introvert." We tend to have unique resting faces, often sad or angry. I've dealt with it my entire life. If I only had a nickel for every time someone said to me, "why are you so quiet" or "smile" I'd be more wealthy than TR.

Anyway, you're not alone and I can definitely relate. Thanks for sharing.

BTW, the book The Introvert Advantage by Laney is an AWESOME book for anyone who wants to understand introversion on a deeper level.

They are all lovely guys but Frank lost his charisma in this one and John looks stressed.

They are fame chasing?

I feel you man.

It's all about "building more desire". The only valuable thing I've heard is to remember to ask yourself "why am I diong this?"

The rest is first-class persuation to buy from them - it is not like there is something bad in it by itself.... but to take it very seriously, c'mon

It's like magazine that you read to more and more realize that you are "not worthy"... look at his huge house. I'm a loser because I don't have it.

What a pitty, becuase this house doesn't make you happy. The process of doing the right thing will. This why "why?" is so important.

[katiec]

It's worth noting that I just watched this video again. It just never gets old.

[James Pateman]

My observation is that regardless of the field of endeavor, you always have 1-3% who get about 50% of the results, with the rest shared by the rest.
