Ed Dale - Hands down

Chris Farrell because he explain things in a very basic manner. A bit like if you are dumb, but hey it works like hell!

Without him i'd be lost.

If i could afford him i'd try frank kern cause i find him super funny .

I have been involved in this industry since 2005. I have had many different mentors. All of them have taught me different things in different ways. So I don't think that I would rely on just one mentor.

Maybe the best mentor would be yourself. Think about this for a minute. A great leader can only point you in the right directions and leave it up to you to take action. We learn and grow by finding out what is best for us and what is best for us to do.

You eventually need to grow into that leader or mentor that everyone so desperately searches for.

You probably get great ideas everyday. Do you always act on them or do you sometimes talk yourself out of taking that specific action? The most successful people acted on their inspirations and have gotten great results.

I think this is a hard question because each of my mentor's all have distinct core competencies!

If I had to choose, ONE though, it would be my Mom. She is the inspiration behind the reason why I do what I do.

I know this sounds cliche - but it's the truth. Without her encouraging me to succeed in whatever I do, and to guide me in my business ventures (she's has owned brick and mortars) I would not have the focus and drive that I currently have..

/sappyness :-)

I hate to be the only one admitting this but I didn't have a mentor. I love learning things myself. I guess that's why I've been doing this for 15 years.

Chris Farrell

Frankie boy kern.

his free stuff is better than most the alleged 'gurus' $197... stuff is

I am serious too. He might be a wacky sort of dude, but that is what makes him more personalable. No suit and tie and clean cut saying you need to pay more look. LOL

Anyone else??

My second favorite is probably Eben Pagan

Frank Kern is always worth listening to.

I would have to say that a big influence on me was always Kevin Riley

It just my father ...........

It really depends what you require of your mentor but if you're looking for a no-nonsense, intelligent approach to business then I can think of one man who stands head and shoulders above the rest; Paul Myers.

You might want to start by taking a look at his site TalkBiz, it's headline is "First things first: Put your wallet back in your pocket" which appeals straight away

Interestingly Ed Dale, who understandbly has been recommended by many posters, had this to say about Paul's newsletter: "This one is a must for any online marketer."

Nigel

I totally forgot about Mr. Anthony Robbins --- yea he's a genius, in more than one way!

My parents. They are so strong and such supportive people. They have overcome struggles and come out on top through hard work. I wish I could be as strong and determined.

Armand Morin for me.

We are part of the SIX Figure Mentors (SFM) a facility for “building an online business” which is run by top Internet Marketers it provides us with tools, training, coaching and most importantly community to help us achieve our goals. The part we find the most worthwhile and been totally invaluable is the community aspect.

We are part of a mastermind group, who meets each month face to face, where we talk with REAL people, doing exactly what we are trying to achieve. We have learnt heaps and the support is really fantastic - a community is by far one of our best so called mentors so far.

D & L

Ben Hart!

Listen Ben was there for me when I needed him and explained in greater detail when needed. He is Awesome!

thanks for the tips guys. checking them out now. I've found Terry Kyle to be helpful also. currently doing his hydra course.

Dan Kennedy :-)

It would be Eben Pagan

Chris Farrell all the way, I used to watch his video most of the time.

If there was one person for me it would have to be samantha milner, her info is gold. She has helped me so much and if it wasnt for her I would be stuck in a bank earning less in a day than what it costs to buy me and my son a mcdonalds.

I can never thank her enough for all the advice she has given me and the new life I now have.

I started out by following her free info and creating an affiliate income to being able to build my first site. I am on wk 10 of one of her courses at the moment and couldnt be happier.

Vin Montello was a great copywriting mentor to me.

--- Ross

I have never had a mentor as yet I am trying to teach myself. I learnt html myself.

If I need to do something I can always find a way , if I'm really really stuck, then only I ask someone.

Jesus Christ

Ewen Chia is my favorite mentor.

An active mastermind group.

[DELETED]

Jim Rohn hands down... Dk would be second.

Dan Kennedy and Jimmy D. Brown.

James Schramko

Art Williams
YouTube - Art Williams - Just Do It - part 1 of 2

Dan Kennedy - If you're new to marketing, you definitely need to learn the fundamentals from Dan. You'll get a university education in streetwise marketing. Honestly, I learnt most of my marketing from Dan. And as I later found out, so did everyone else who now teaches marketing!

Jimmy D Brown - Jimmy's material is very thorough but simple. You won't get bogged down and overwhelmed with his stuff. He gives more "how-to" and "step-by-step" info than any other marketer I know.

Frank Kern - As so many have already said, Frank is really unique. His products are pricey, but excellent. I wouldn't recommend him for newbies. He's more suited to those who are already up and running. After listening to him, it's easy to wish you had some of his wit and easy-going southern style. He demonstrates the importance of letting your own personality come thru to your prospects and customers. He's a funny guy! He also learnt a lot from Dan Kennedy.

[DELETED]

It`s got to be Chris Farrell.
His teaching style is just superb.
He is also honest, ethical and English!

For me, its Caleb Spilchen.

Definitely Robert Kiyosaki. The Cashflow Quadrant says it all!

To Your Success,
Brad Marcus

My best friend is my favorite mentor. Not only to help me make money but help me in many ways in life.

Kevin Riley And Willie Crawford and Eric Louviere my friends and people I look up to
Thanks for being there guys

This is such an open ended question because there are so many different skills to learn in the marketing arena. I could make several lists depending on what I wanted to learn, however, overall I'd have to list the following, in no particular order.

James Schramko
Jason Fladlien
Jimmy D. Brown
Dan Kennedy
Tim Gorman
Allan Gardyne
Alice Seba
Steven Resell
Gauher Chauhdry
Michael Campbell
Rosalind Gardner
Jeremy Palmer
Jerry West
The Rhodes Brothers

I could go on, but that's a good rough draft. I've learned things from all of them that have in one way or another had an impact on my IM efforts. I've bought products from every one at least once.

In life mentoring I rank Jesus Christ #1. :-)

Dave Guindon hands down!I love that guyAnd i found him by accident!Chris Farrell is also one of my best

If I had to start over again, and get advice form one person - It was Jay Abraham and it would still be Jay Abraham.

For me it's Travis Sago.... I found about the internet marketing world through his emails.

Personally I feel the best guru is the one reading this post. We've all got our own unique gifts to give to the world. Sure... learn off the experience of others, but I reckon the best guru is the one within.

Hope that helps,

David.

Andy Jenkins for me cause I love how he utilizes and explains the importance of videos to internet marketing

Tony Robbins and Jack Canfield are the best!

Anybody who provides an actual case study of something

I would say my best mentor has to be experience, it's a damn hard lesson to learn, but once you learn it, you will NEVER forget it.

Nene Lungay is my first and only Mentor in Art. The first time it hit me how important mentors are is four years ago. I trained and flew with a corporate captain who nearly drove me crazy.

Well Guys,
I tend to think abut the Internet like "The Football Premier League" in the UK. ( soccer )
There are a lot of young men, earning lot's of money, but when shove comes to push they FAIL. There are probably 500 + of them getting the equivalent of $250,000 per week, living in big houses and driving flash cars. They spit, swear and jump in and out of bed in hotels around the world. ( Not all are overpaid jerks ) But most are.
The lower leagues, do the business, graft, work hard for far less reward. They work harder, care more about the fan base and help the local community. They know that compared to Joe public they are far better off. Their lives even in the lower leagues is very nice, thank you very much.
The high profile players just like the big Gurus, Screw everybody.They promote each others products to their huge lists, give away a few video's to bribe the punters and then put on a big price tag, ( just to sort out the tire kickers ) yeah right !!!just to give you bigger profits. The football/soccer players earn more from the commercials they do than the $250,000 a week wages sometimes three or 4 times as much. The recent launches have produced some epic rubbish, few gurus or premier league footballers can compare to the one's of a few years ago.Few have kept there feet on the ground.
We all know the good one's ,they stand out from the crowd and long may that continue. But there are some " spammers" who have so many pen names to hide the crap they peddle, but they still have made a fortune.
So don't get too hung up on Guru's, follow, the good and honest, the recommended and let the rest fed at the trough ?? While you are in the meadow behind

@thegolfer

I totally agree that there are some people out there that will lie, cheat, and steal to get your money...

But, I know that there are ethical marketers that truly care about their market. Most of them use this forum on a regular basis.

My answer is Alen

Besides being the owner, don't forget that he is a member of this forum too

All of us have been listing to him more than to anyone else - forum rules, guidelines and some info databases are his advices and each and every person listens and follows them first in WarriorForum!

Jason Fladlien
Rhodes
Willie Crawford

[DELETED]

My mentor would be my Father. I haven't spent as much time as I should have with him and he's very wise and business savvy and would have helped me avoid some of the pitfalls that I have experienced!

Chris Farrell to help me get started in th IM world and now Tristan Bull the man thinks outside the box...

Personally, Jason Fladlien has made the most "actionable" impact on me.

John S. Rhodes is a close second. Both of these guys are brilliant at a whole other plane of existence.

Cheers,

Brad

Yea, Jason Fladlien is someone that really sticks out in my mind.

I've bought several of his courses and refer to them constantly. What I like about him is that all his stuff is incredibly actionable, realistic, and powerful...

Awesome! Yes, I'm sure you are a very "evolved" person if you can rely on yourself to mentor yourself. I totally understand and congratulate you!

Anyone else?

My best and favorite mentor right now is george brown the owner of a product that I purchased trough clickbank, he made it happen for my first sale, THANKS!

Myself A P Geofrey, because I trust only myself, always have and always will.

Mike Filsaime for sure... I really admire how hes always pushing the envelope, launching new products, and trying new techniques.

I would say Frank Kern, have a had alot of influence in my marketing lately. I think Ryan Diess have also helped when it comes to social media

If I were starting out and knew absolutely nothing about IM, I'd go with Jeff Wellman for his thorough, down to earth approach that leaves no stone unturned - he has a knack for explaining things in a very clear and straightforward manner, which is understandable given the fact that he plunged into IM himself with next to no knowledge of how anything worked.

Mark Ling and Matt Carter

My favorite mentor is Terry Dean. He was one of the founding fathers of Internet Marketing, it's easier to list what he doesn't know than what he does.

Mainly Frank Kern and Mike Filsaime, but also Tim Ferris (purely because the idea of a 4 hour working week sounds like heaven to me!)

embarrassed.. So many new names on the list.

Thanks for the thread, guys.

So, here's a little modification of the question...

If you had to help your friend get into Internet Marketing, and start making money as soon as possible....

Who would you suggest?

And... You can only suggest ONE mentor

Dani Johnson
