The Best Books And Coaches I Know

2 replies
Here is the truth.

You could buy every single book about online marketing ever created, and you can learn enough to become an expert, but there are just some things that can only be learned through real-life experience.

For example, let's say you want to learn how to drive a car.

You could buy every drivers manual and how-to book that you could find and those books could teach and show you everything you need to know about driving a car, but the
second you step inside a real car and take control of the steering wheel, all of your knowledge will go out the window and you will still be a horrible driver on your first try.

Here is another example.

I could teach you everything I know about basketball (since I've been playing basketball for over 17 years) and I could even show you everything I know with live examples, but if I put a basketball in your hands you're still going to suck and it's going to take you at least a month of daily practice before you'll eve be able to process and apply the stuff I taught you.

Do you see where I'm going with this?

You have to be willing to go and get real marketing experience.

You have to be willing to make mistakes, embarrass yourself, and even fail.


However, you can always pick yourself up, brush yourself off, learn from your mistakes, and continue to move forward.

If you truly want to be successful sooner than later, then you must be willing to get as much experience as you can as fast as you can.

    Yes that is what life is all about.

    You learn mostly through your experiences. It is the most tangibile and concrete way we learn.


    Reading something is wonderful, putting into practice is even more powerful.

    Making mistakes teaches us where to begin next.

    It's all good. It's all good, it's all good.

    Pushing on is the key and just keep going until you find that rainbow.



    I love that feeling of something is there for me and if I keep searching(which is half the fun) I will find it.


    Seek and you shall find!

      Books are truly amazing, and having a mentor and a coach is even better in my opinion, but results and success come from taking action and getting references. Nothing happens when you're sitting on the sidelines. You have to get in the game.
