Allen Says.

My list is:

Istvan Horvath - he has rapped me over the knuckles on several occasions but my WP Blog is the better for it.

John McCabe - Genuine support and encouragement. I don't feel like a stupid newbie when he writes.

Paul Myers - He's just scary but I have learnt a ton from reading his posts.

Alexa Smith - Her passion for her craft inspires me.

sbucciarel (Suzanne) - she is always the one that answers all my technical questions about website setup.

Wow this is a great thread...especially for a newbie such as myself. Finding some successful, honest people very early on can help you tremendously in any career path. I'm surprised this thread hasn't got more activity. @ the op. I am from Louisville also. I'm 21 and just getting my feet wet in this business. I would love to ask you a couple questions. If you could, please PM me your contact info since I do not have enough posts to pm you. Maybe you will be on my list of people who most influenced me!!!

I hate to say it but I think the person who has had the most influence on me has been... myself... and I think that is the way it should be. There are a heap of great people on this forum and I have learnt a ton from all of them. But ultimately it was myself who took all that knowledge and applied it... you can't rely on others to make things happen for you and that is one of the biggest lessons I learnt by being a member of this forum.

If YOU are not your biggest influence then I don't think you are working hard enough.

Here's to taking A.C.T.I.O.N!

I would give you a list, but I would be bound to forget someone and hurt people's feelings in doing so.

My favorites to read are constantly changing. But a few have remained constant: Steven Wagenheim, Alexa Smith, Paul Meyers - shoot now that I'm naming them, there's quite a few. So I better quit now as to not hurt feelings.

Allen Says, George Sepich, Bryan Kumar, John Taylor, Paul Myers, Bill Platt, Bev Clement, John Durham, Mr. Unconventional, WiseSpider, Off the top of my head. I know I've left tons off my list.

George Wright

The Moderators...they influence most of my actions on here.

~Dexx

Paul Myers, CDarklock, Alexa Smith, Sbucciarel.

The common thread I admire most among this bunch is: independent thought. It's a golden ability for a marketer and the above 4 have it in spades.

Of course, independent thought is worthless if you're not brilliant -- which, fortunately, these are.

Thaddeus T. Hogg.

Note to self: Get on one of these lists.

I'm seeing a pattern here. I also am a fan of Paul Meyers, John Durham, and Alexa Smith. I regularly run into fantastic advice from them. Whether it's a thread they started or a post on someone else's thread, I try and soak up whatever they have to say. Not only learning from the knowledge they are sharing, but how they conduct themselves on this forum. I think how they contribute is almost as important as what they contribute.

I'm also a fan of Tristan Bull. He doesn't post as often as the others mentioned, but his products have probably helped me more than anyone's so far.

I know I'm forgetting a lot of people. Truth is there are A LOT of great contributors here, these are just the ones I notice the most often.

Edit: Remembered another, Sbucciarel. Right up there with the rest!

Genghis Khan and Chief Pontiac.

Oh....you meant here?

all the new guys who come into the forum with determination to make their IM business succeed. Some are scared, some are nervous, some don't know what to do -but they are putting their best foot forward to move by asking questions and taking action.

These are the warriors that inspire me to come to this forum everyday and share my ideas :-)

Thanks for the mentions. Appreciate it.

There are so many people here, whether they influenced me or not, that I genuinely like and I know that due to memory lapses, a list will be incomplete and then I'll feel rotten for leaving people I like a lot off the list, so I may edit this list should my memory return

Not only is this a list of people I enjoy reading their posts, but a list of people that I wouldn't hesitate to do business with. People who give real value both to the forum and to their customers. Some provide me with biting sarcasm and humor, which makes my day.

Now, it should be noted that the word influence has several meanings. I have included friends, those who make me think, those who often drive me nuts, and those who get me to take one action or another.

My apologies to the dozens of Warriors I didn't think of off the top of my head. There are many more that I have forgotten than I have remembered, as is the case with any such list.

All the best,

I know there is more, but those just come to mind

There are really too many to list.

But there are a couple that have had the biggest impact for me...

Willie Crawford has been one of my top 2 biggest influences on this forum.

Our marketing styles aren't similar overall, but there are some things he's said that I've taken and ran with and made tens of thousands of dollars from.

Then there's Matt Bacak who doesn't really come to the forum very often, but I actually met him through the forum in 2008.

There are quite a few things I've learned from him about generating leads, testing, running customer service on a big scale, product launches, affiliate recruiting, backend selling, sales funnels, working with a team, and just putting what's working for you on steroids.

If it weren't for those 2 guys, then I know I'd still be painting houses, doing construction, or teaching guitar.

But basically I get influenced every day I come on the forum and read around. It's been a positive influence on me and I consider this forum to be my roots... That's probably why I indirectly promote Warrior Forum every single day to a whole lot of marketers who have never been on this site before...

You get a lot of bad advice here, but all-in-all most Warriors pretty much mean well. And you also sometimes come across little bits and pieces of advice that stick with you and help mold your business.

Why I am right honored to be mentioned in this here thread by Suzanne and Ken but I do have to tell you that I HAVE NOT caused ANY folks to get influenza! I warsh my hands at least once a week! So while Suzanne and Ken might has been influenzaed, it tweren't ole Thad what caused it!

Drive him nuts where? You DO be knowin that they go wherever HE goes don't ya? They is attached!

Whoo weee, Michael is a pirate!

I just cain't believe that Mr. Wright didn't mention ole Thad here. Why I have practically turned him into a hillbilly magnet! I shore am saddened by this inadvertant misallocation!

Wellsir, I shore do not mind tellin ya that I am a little concerned about this here one! I look at that picture of ole Kenneth and I get to wonderin what I done to cause that!

I also cain't believe that Ms. Hagel would forget ole That either!

I would also like to be sayin that I find Ms Alexa Smith mighty fascinatin cause she goes and changes her pictures about as often as ole Thad changes his drawers; well, actually, she changes her pictures a whole lot MORE than ole Thad changes his drawers but whose countin anyway?

Now, in all bein honest, I gots to mention that one fellar who has made me what I am today... Chris W. Sutton. Why that there fellar has had more influenza on me that any other folks out there. He is like a brother to me. We be like two peas in a pod. We are like two drips out of the faucet. We are like two dog piddles on a fire hydrant. We is moonshine blood brothers!

I gots to be goin now cause I got a batch of, ummm, projectile dysfunction elixer on the fire. Ya'll come on back now hear?

I am new here but hope to have my name on your lists someday. I've seen posts from some of the folks mentioned by various people and I have to admit, they do go out of their way to lend a hand. That's inspiring!

My list would be

Tiffany Dow
Peggy Baron
Ruth P
Alexa Smith
Tom Ness (sirtom)
Tina Golden
Paul Myers

I'm sending my huntin dog after Thadeus T Hogg. He forgot to mention how much influza I have given him over the last 3 years or so.

Big Mike
Dennis Gaskill
John Taylor
Paul ... (whats his name) PITA. Ooops! Myers
Michael Oshkosh (darn I misspelled it again)

Seriously way more than this Old Geezer can remember, have had some good influence in some form or another.

The real pleasure for me has been watching folks who joined in the last 2 years or so and have grown their business. And then been willing to share with all of us the things that have worked for them. Thanks to all of you.

Okay, warriors who have influenced me. Well, it's a lot more then I can remember off the top of my head, but I'll give it a shot.

And a lot more, but these are the ones I could think of right now, I might add to this list later today

Leslie

Rocky Balboa

awww no Whos That Guru anywhere on these

oh well, I suppose in time I might make someone's list.

But to answer the question, I'd have to agree with the person who said "myself"

Just about everyone on here listed in the posts above. Helpful warriors and irksome warriors alike have all impacted me in their own ways.

What a great place.

1) Knights: The important lesson here is that there is such a thing as over-protection. Suits of armor were good against more primitive weapons, but they were bulky and heavy. If you fell on your back, you might be stuck or, worse, more easily killed. The business lesson is that you want flexible protection that's not going to slow you down.

2) Ninjas: Sometimes, you don't want to have a strong show of force. You just want to be stealthy and undermine your competitors without them even knowing you were there.

3) Roman Legions: They were well-armed and highly disciplined. They built an empire that nearly spanned the known world at the time. With the right tools and discipline, your business can conquer the world!

4) Mongols: People think they were savages, but they were highly skilled and disciplined. Their skills let them do things like shoot arrows accurately while riding on a horse. The business lesson is that you can have much success if you utilize highly skilled people and keep them well focused.

5) Vikings: The Viking warriors were all about war. Even the Viking afterlife was centered around endless battle. They pillaged and terrorized countless cities and villages. But, they also explored (for new places to conquer) and were also decent traders. The lesson is to know when to vanquish your enemies and when to sell them stuff.

One thing that all these warriors shared was discipline. The discipline to hone their skills and focus on the task at hand. Whether your battles are on the battlefield or in business, discipline is a key component in your success or failure.

He added his own name to the list of people who influence him. I think that's what he's getting at.

Leslie

Dang ... I obviously need to post more (again) on the WF ...
I'm feeling missed ...

Great choices ... and, like Bill Platt says -- if I made a list I'd undoubtedly leave someone out.

However, the folks who have had major and signficant influences on me especially this year are:
George Sepich
Dr. Ben Adkins (Thirty3Down)
Shay Rockhold
Michelle Spiva
Caliban Darklock
Justin Wheeler
Donald Wilson
Ed Akehurst and Martha Mayo
Oz (sms warrior -- and the sms does NOT stand for text messaging, I just recently found out...)
Dennis Becker and Rachel Rofe
Bill Platt
Brian McLeod
Sam England
Tracy Needham
Tim Castleman
Colleen "Amazon Treasure Chest" Slater (aka "60minuteaffiliate")
Maria Gudelis ...

Ah! See? Too many awesome people running around ... and I am so incredibly, positively thrilled to hang out with them, work with them, learn from them ...

(and I keep adding ... )

Paul Myers and George Wright get a very special mention from me, just for their support and kindnesses over the many years I've been on the WF ...

Live JoyFully!

A lot of Warriors have influenced me in many ways over the years, way too many to list here. But in terms of influencing my bottom line in sheer numbers, the following Warriors have helped me to take my business to heights I had never thought imaginable:

Allen Says: his private post reports completely changed the way I ran and grew my business, more importantly, he taught me what to focus on.

John Reese: he used to post here quite a bit, but his emphasis on tracking and testing really changed a lot for me. I also adopted his "get to work" mantra.

Paul Myers: been reading his newsletter for about a decade, it's something I will continue reading until I die or he dies. It's that good and thought-provoking. His moderating style has also taught me to be more open-minded and understanding of other people's points of view.

Eric Louviere: one of his products helped me quadruple my traffic in less than a year and his emphasis on mindset has always resonated with me.

Jimmy D. Brown: doesn't post here anymore but no single marketer has had more influence on the way I set up my e-mail marketing campaigns.

Frank Kern & Ed Dale: Their Underachiever Course from many years ago helped take my 2nd company global. His Mass Control has also heavily influenced me.

Tim Gorman: the article marketing go-to guy who taught me how to get insane views on the content my staff and I put out. H

Kevin Riley & Marlon Sanders: both of these marketers have helped me take product creation to a whole new level.

RoD

Allen Says because he gave me a free Ipad.

I have gained invaluable insight from many throughout the years, but here is my short list:

Eric Louviere
Chris Rempel
Kevin Riley
Allen Says
Ron Douglas
Frank Kern

To OP Doug...

I'm honored you mentioned me, but the truth is I merely helped point you in the right direction. The work you're doing and the desire to succeed that you've translated into taking consistent action are so much more important. Nobody can "teach" those things... they have to come ultimately from within. I have no doubt you'll make it in this business. 90% of your success will be due to what you brought to the table.

I wish a lot more Warriors would work hard on changing their own beliefs and habits. If they put more effort into developing the right mindset and work ethic and spent less time buying every shiny new object to come along... but then I'm not supposed to say that. Might take away the only source of income for a lot of other Warriors.

Thanks, Doug!

John

I've been at this a long time. I was successfully marketing online before I knew that the Warrior Forum existed, however, when I found the WF, it was the collective group that was influential to me. There is not one person that stands out. I like to get varying opinions on matters of interest and participate in debates. So, my answer would be all of the members that contribute as a whole.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to share. There are people listed here that i do not know. It just goes to show how many helpful Warriors that are out there.

I hope I don't forget anyone:

Hi,

There are so many Warriors who have made this place so great
which in result has helped me grow my business in right direction.

So THANK YOU to all great WARRIORS!

If i had to pick specific Warriors...if my memory serves me better:
Following are the Warriors who really influenced me, my business and my income

Kevin Riley (What can i say? This post box is small to list everything in here he has done for me, and always there.. my Senpai! my Mentor!)
Dr. Mani (Always there to answer any of my questions!)
John Reese (Gifted me first Traffic Secrets Course, Thank you JOHN!)
BIGMike (BigMike set my 1st ever WSO on fire by his kind words in my thread! )
Michael Tracey (Our great Warrior with great compassion and support!)
Allen Says (Gifted me free membership to War Room, Allen's short & direct reports and posts always has inspired me.)


As i said there are so many Warriors who have helped me in one way or other, there
are so many threads posted by great Warriors which have really influneced my thinking...
so above list is just incomplete list as is the case with lists like this.

With Best regards,
Mohsin Rasool

Those are some great teachers, we all would learn from how they care about their students

Connor McCreesh got me to where I am

Thanks everyone that took time out of their day to share. Hopefully people will read this thread and check out some of the great names that are mentioned in this thread.

[DELETED]

Allen Says - Because he created the Warrior Forum, which is arguably the most comprehensive and involved Internet Marketing forum on the World Wide Web.

John Delavera - He has been a great help to me in starting my own online business. His TurboMembership and just his advice in general have been invaluable to me.

If we're going with the superlative of the Warrior that "Most" influenced me then it has to be Andrew Hansen, Hands down!

When I first came here a long time ago I ran into someone who convinced me to start my own product. For the life of me I can't remember who it was though, which sucks. He basically told me, "Find a niche, outsource some software to sell, then sell it"

That's how my first profitable site got started, so he's had the most influence I'd say.

The members of this site that have influenced me (especially recently) know who they are; and should already be properly ashamed of themselves.

On a serious note though, I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to answer my questions, prove me wrong, get to know me through PM, or do anything else to make me feel like part of the group.

I should thank the mods too. I'm sure there have been a few times (especially when I post a meme) where they could have and should have punished me; but didn't.

My list will be very short since almost everyone has been mentioned numerous times...

BigMIKE
ClickBump

Because quality advice, products, and outstanding service are a way of life for these two...

I just thought of two others who are helping to transform my way of thinking...

BFAS - Michael - Helping me find a business model which matches my skills and mindset.
TryBPO - Inspiring posts and sharing as AdsenseFlippers..

My most inspiring Warrior though is a lurker...one of these days I will make my wife get an account.

Hundreds of pepole here have helped me in many different ways, but this is a forum about making money, after all.


So, this is a short list of those IM Warriors who have changed my income in a direct, positive, and lasting way:



1. Sean Mize (mizesean) got me started in Article Marketing.

2. Jack Duncan taught me the best way to find a niche.

3. Allen Says told me to just do what I love-- which means zero problem "taking action".

4. Alexa Smith ...duh!

[DELETED]

What a good idea for a thread!

I have to say Alexa Smith has consistently educated and inspired me and so many other Warriors.

Her saint-like patience and commitment to dispelling IM myths and giving newbies especially a solid foundation for making money online is nothing short of philanthropy. Thanks Alexa!

alexa smith - she likes jaguar

Allen Says and Alexa Smith!

Here are my TOP 5 of 2011

Mike Carraway - Mike believed in ME and my product and he helped me to gain the recognition in Warrior Forum. Without Mike it wouldn't be possible. Thank you, Mike!

Kieran McDonogh - Kieran is the best launch strategist. Period. Ideas and strategies that Kieran is generating are just mind blowing. We met in Phoenix for 4 days and the brainstorming sessions we had there, just changed my business by 360.

Craig Mako - Craig's ongoing support has helped me to serve hundreds of people. Thank you!

Chris Munch - Chris is an amazing strategist, I learned a lot from Chris in his Mastermind group. Thank you Chris!

Andy Fletcher - I met with Andy a few times in London and we connected very well. Andy is very smart marketer and long term business builder. Thank you for your support in 2011.

I also want to thank Oz (sms), Maria Gudelis, Aravindh (theplugindude), John S. Rhodes and Jay Boyer. You all had great influence on me and my work.

Merry Christmas Warriors!

Peter

John Delavera... the guy is the real thing.

I also use the plugins of Andy Fletcher (awesome!)

The theme seems to go aboard and beyond for your subscribers, and they will eternally thank you for it

Wally Muncher
Richard Cranium
Tubular Tockley
Vladamir Kweam

I consider meself a future visionary, and I hope to be added to this list one day - for now: I'm happy to have a few salmon, tomatoe and cucumber sandwiches on stoneground bread, to keep me regular of bowel, whilst I'm hard at work studying the work of these masterminds.

I gotta go with Alexa Smith on this one.

John Thornhill and Dave Nicholson do it for me, had a few faux guru mentors, but these two are the real deal, yeah they sell you stuff, but this is business, and all their content is pure gold.


Kevin

George Katsoudas, for letting me review his amazing products and being someone of great integrity. In fact, if I were to take a newbie and say to them, "Do what this guy does"...this guy would be George.

John Delavera, because of his knowledge and willingness to share it.

At first I tried to come up with a list and then realized it would be too many people and I'd probably leave someone off, anyway.

I lot of people have influenced me on here and I have thanked them all.

Allen Says the creator of this amazing community

I am relatively new hear, but the names listed are mostly unknown to me, what is clear it's not always the top sellers in the WSO's that create the most value for the warriors, I have noted some common names and will start looking at some posts and threads.

Be blessed and add value.

Lee Dobbins

WillR was the sole person who helped me break my $1000 goal.

Having been a Warrior since the late 90s, I can't think of a fair way to answer this.
The forum has changed in stages over the years and of lot of those who influenced me have come and gone,like Teresa King,who led me to the "secret forum" back in the day. And others have been along the whole time like Bryan Kumar and Paul Myers. I sometimes chuckle to myself when those that have come after me think I'm new.
I've taken a hiatus or two at times for various reasons and when I come back I always find a new"in" crowd. Times change and so do the people.
The past few years has opened of a new world to me and there is no way I could even start the list of people who just in the last few years has had an influence on me.
There are a lot of great people here,way too many to attempt to name,in my case.
