Which Internet Marketer had the most impact on your life?

We have all had someone who had the most impact on us in our online marketing career. The one who got us to see the big picture. Here is a following list of the ones that really helped me, and how.

Ted Ciuba - Author of "Mail Order In The Internet Age" This was my first exposure to the online marketing world back in 2006. His book got me to fax in an $800 dollar order (yes fax was still being used in 06)
I soon after attended one of his seminars in Vegas and I was hooked. He taught me how to brain storm for products by just writing whatever is on your mind, and that anyone can learn good copywriting skills and make themselves a millionaire with focus and a willingness to make mistakes and look stupid until you make it.

Matt Bacak - I actually saw Matt Bacak do a talk at the Vegas seminar..He was 28 at the time, (one year older than me) and he flew to the conference on his own airplane. I realized why he had his own plane, after I paid $5,500 to attend one of his seminars. I don't regret it however, as two of my best friends in the world came from attending that event. Last I heard Matt is making around $300,000 per month online.

Rich Shefren - I have met Rich a few times and learned from him what it means to create a sustainable business online and the importance of outsourcing and systemizing operations.

Tim Ferris - Author of the Fout Hour Work Week. I met Tim about a year ago while traveling in Medellin Colombia. We were in tiny dark salsa club sitting about ten feet from each other. We talked for a bit..really cool guy. Tim really confirmed that the dream of travel and living your dreams should be done NOW, and to never wait for some time in the future. And also that no matter how bad you think things will get, it's always worse in your mind than can ever exist in reality. This makes it easier to jump instead of staying on the fence.

I could go on about all the many awesome guys I've learned under, the conferences I've been to and the attendees I've made life time friends with, but those marketers for sure had a huge impact on my initial years online.

Who were yours and what impact did they have?
