This business really inspires me!

It's true, this business really does inspire me everyday. I was re-reading Daegan Smith's Internet Marketing guide again and I found a whole wealth of ideas I missed the first few times I read it. One of the things that Daegan does is to send a daily broadcast to his team which I think is a great idea. So starting this Sunday I will send out a daily broadcast to our team going down 6 levels.

I thought I would start today by just introducing myself to those team members I haven't had the pleasure of talking to yet. My name is John O'Driscoll and for the past 15 years I have worked as a Senior Manager for an International Examinations Board but decided this year I needed a change. Why change, you may ask? Well although I was in a well paid job I had come to realise over the years that I was really no better off than when I first started in my career. In fact the more successful I became the more my whole life was reliant on that JOB! As my earnings increased, so did my financial commitments! For the past 5 years one of my roles was to identify ways to reduce costs and make recommendations to the board. In reality, what this meant was I was effectively downsizing or restructuring large parts of the organisation and making people redundant. Not a very inspiring role I can tell you. It also made me realise that one day my role may become surplus to requirements.

So I made a life changing decision that I would not spend any more of my energy in this role and started to look for a viable alternative. I have had many years experience in Network Marketing and knew this was an area that if I found the right opportunity, with the right support team, a great product and a fantastic compensation plan then I could make it work. That's when I found Success University. It ticked all my boxes.

I will go into more detail about what I did to get started in the follow up emails but here's a quick snapshot. I was about to go on a 2 week holiday to Spain when I joined SU and with the support of Karen Leslie (my sponsor) and Julie Chojnowski (Karen's sponsor) I got my business set up and my marketing plan in place before I went away! Now as you get to know me you will realise that Internet Marketing was all brand new to me so I just did as I was told! Needless to say I had a fantastic holiday and every morning before breakfast I checked my emails and was amazed at how many people were looking at my site while I slept! I signed my first person up by the end of the first week of my holiday and in the second week I had signed my first premium member and don't forget I didn't really know what I was doing.

Since then things haven't stopped. In my first full month I qualified as counsellor and in my second month I had become Success University's Top 10 Recruiter! I was also invited to join the UK Leadership team and I am an active member now helping to build strong foundations for the UK and Europe.

I will send another broadcast again on Sunday (I am in London all day tomorrow at a Seminar with one of the top Internet Marketers in the world so I will be passing on any tips I get!). If there are any subjects you would like covered let me know, this is your service!. If anyone wants me to call them drop me a line letting me know a good time and we can get something set up!

To your Success!
