‘Right Now’ Is An Excellent Place To Start
You know, I truly believe that this is the very first day of the rest of my life. I know that sounds pretty stupid, but as time goes on, I think you’ll figure out what I mean by that. It is my intention to not only let you know how I’m making out with Alex Jeffreys class as I progress through it & beyond, but to let you know how it is affecting my life.
I am certainly not some ‘techy’ who knows how to build websites, (truthfully, I am a middle aged woman who is REAL good at email & a few simple things) even though I’ve been trying to earn a living on the internet since the Fall of 2006. I can honestly tell you that I have been FLAILING, big time! That statement really sums up an awful lot. And that really sucks! I will explain in major detail some of the ‘highlights’ of my last 2 1/2 years some other time. That topic will need an entire category…just wait, you’ll see. Believe me when I tell you this, my failure online sure wasn’t because I wasn’t trying hard enough. I now know that a huge contributor was information overload…BIG TIME! Not to mention my lack of focus, which was strangely not very apparent to me until Alex’s 1st module. I was ALWAYS busy…unfortunately most of my time was wasted. I must have been on every marketers list & they all notified me of every launch that transpired. Every new product was the latest & greatest, and would teach you everything you needed to know…YEAH RIGHT!!! What exactly was tattooed on my forehead, anyway? 
All of these products had me bouncing all around the web, I never knew which end was up…it really seemed as though ‘the gurus of internet marketing’ changed all of the rules every week.
I have got to admit, I was almost to the point of caving to all of my family & friends wishes & looking for a J.O.B.. I have got to tell you, that just typing that makes me break into a sweat, my heart is racing…GEEZ! Any way…I got an email from one of the eBay gurus promoting Alex’s new ebook, Newbies Nightmare for free. Well after I watched the video, of course I downloaded the report, read it & marked my calendar to ‘check out how much he was charging for the class’ when he launched it. I really did NOT have any intention of spending more than $599, TOPS. I had to watch a pretty long video of Alex on that sales page the day of his launch…sorry Alex. 
By the end of that video though, I REALLY wanted to know the cost of this course…it was WHAT I was looking for…someone to GUIDE ME! That was HUGE when I heard it. I think that when Alex talked about mentors & that almost all of the people who have been successful online have had them was the point that he “had me”.
My price point changed & I am SO glad that it did. This is EXACTLY what I was searching for…actually, I suppose ‘who’ is really what I should say.
I have become so much more organized because of Alex and the very first module. A lot of people who know me would have thought that I was already organized…HA! Maybe, I should have been an actress. As much of a planner as I already was, I have NEVER planned my life in the way Alex had us do it. That was a totally freeing experience!
I AM GOING TO BECOME A SUCCESS…NOW, I KNOW IT!!!

Hi Rob,
Thanks so much for the nice comment-I really appreciate it! I actually have your blog bookmarked because you have been such a big help. I will check out that link & follow ANY advice that you might have!
P.S. I got a bit sidetracked with the PPP, so it took me this long to even realize that you posted a comment.

Hi Joann,
A fellow student of Alex Jeffreys here to say hello!
I fully agree with what Rob said, your title is great: “Right Now is an Excellent Place to Start”. This really rang true with me as well since I am ditching the way I *used* to do things online to finally do things properly and make the BIG MONEY!
Keep in touch.
David
Joann says:
Hi David,
Thanks so much for stopping by & for the nice compliment. Yes, it sure is time to change what I was doing & to start over. I’m sure that there are many others who are feeling the same way that we both feel I KNOW that we are on our way now, David!
I wish you the VERY best!

Kathy Dobson says:
Hi Joann,
I am not in your class…in fact, I am in John Thornhill’s Marketing Masterclass at present. But, I know you guys in Alex’s class will be learning so much, so I’ll be following along for any great tips you might offer.
I love the way your blog looks, the title and the content of this post.
Thanks so much and loads of good luck to you!
I’ll be back,
Kathy
Joann says:
Hi Kathy,
Thank you for the wonderful compliments, I appreciate them. I really believe that we can all learn something from each other. A technical person, I am most definitely NOT! So many of my fellow students have gone above and beyond when it comes to helping those of us who aren’t quite as quite as advanced as they are. There are truly some nice people in this world…thankfully!!!
Take care, Kathy!

Peter Davies says:
Another fellow Alex student saying Hello. I’m another one thats been sort of bouncing but also not taking this thing seriously till now. I’m sure with Alex’s focus rubbing off onto us we will move onto better things!
Joann says:
Hi Peter,
You are right, Alex will help keep us focused on the end goal & we will reach the top-I have absolute faith that it will happen. I will see YOU there, Peter!
I wish you the best-take care,

Karen Kalata says:
Hi Joann,
I love your theme! It’s so down home and comfy cozy, really really beautiful. It makes me want to stay here and read!
And thanks for sharing your story. Now I don’t feel so alone, lost in the jungle of internet marketing.
I’ve been trying to learn how to earn an income online, since 2005 myself, and I agree so totally, that Alex “got me,” with his video. I was waiting for the price, waiting for the price, waiting for the price, too.
But I think that we’re all moving foward with the mentorship program and we’re all going to make it, and I can tell already because he shares so much information and it seems that everyone is moving foward so quickly.
Today is “Blog Visiting Sunday”, and yours was the second for me! Your blog is simply – wonderful!
Keep on writing!
Karen
Joann says:
Hello Karen,
I am so glad that you stopped by-thank you for the very nice comments!
I knew that I wasn’t alone in my struggle to earn an online income, but I didn’t realize just HOW MANY of us are in Alex’s class. It seems that a lot of us now feel as though we’ve turned a corner and can FINALLY see the light at the end of the tunnel!
I truly wish you the best, Karen-take care!

Hello Joann,

Nick
Nick Browne´s last blog ..Here it is….My first post on my first blog.
Joann says:
Hi Nick,
Thanks very much for stopping by to visit my blog-I appreciate it! Thanks also for the kind comment.
You know Nick, after having been hammered by every marketer trying to peddle all of their wares…I was sure glad to find someone like Alex to learn from. It is now quite the joy to OPT-OUT of all of these lists, at least I find some satisfaction letting these ‘gurus’ know that I do NOT need them anymore! Onward & upward, Nick!
Take care-I wish you the very best,
Joann

Joann!
We must be sisters! Actually, you sound a lot more like me than my sisters do…
I was doing OK as a freelance copywriter except it was driving me nuts. So, I’ve decided, after “studying” IM for over a year, to make this thing work.
You’re inspiring me to tell more of my story too.
Meanwhile, I have compiled a Swipe file of Headlines if you or any of your readers could use the help with copywriting: “101 Proven, Profit Pulling Headlines You Can Swipe Today”

Hi Lee,
I am so glad that you stopped by to visit my blog-I really appreciate it! My sister & I are NOTHING alike, & I’d have to say that we are EACH quite pleased about that fact.
As determined as I am to make a go of working online, some days are a lot more trying than others & you really need keep pushing forward & get beyond them. I know that by following what Alex teaches, I WILL finally have the breakthrough that has been eluding me for so long. We are ALL destined for success, Lee-I will see YOU at the top!
Take care-I wish you the best,
Joann
