Hi,

I’ve just finished reading Alex Jeffreys latest e-book called “Newbies Nightmare - the Advanced Strategies They DON’T Want You to Know!” It’s a short e-book of some 45 pages with a fair few pictures. I managed to read it all in about 15-20 minutes. [You can see a pic of the cover of Newbies Nightmare in the lower LHS column of this page - just scroll down to view.]

Written in an easy-to-read style, the Newbies Nightmare explains why 99% of people trying to make money online FAIL! I gotta admit… the stuff that Alex wrote about hit home with me too.

I signed on for Alex’s first coaching course and many of the pages on this blog are dedicated to what was taught.

If you are considering finding a MENTOR on the Internet to help you with your marketing and selling then I can personally recommend Alex Jeffreys to you. He over-delivered on his first course and I know ABSOLUTELY that with Garry Parkes now taking on the role of Operations Manager that Alex’s new course will be EVEN BETTER!

As I said, troll through this blog and see for yourself the type of information that Alex teaches and the sorts of things that you will learn.

Alex Jeffreys concluded his coaching programme today for the initial intake of some 500 students. How many are left still standing is unknown. Some never started, some fell by the wayside, some found it “too tough” and some just decided that Alex Jeffreys wasn’t the mentor or coach for them. I can’t say I feel particularly sorry for those who didn’t emerge into the sunshine from this Alex Jeffreys course. They made their decision - for whatever reason. They certainly had the same opportunity as those who finished did.

I guess it is like a University course, in some respects… some finish, some don’t. In life some people win while others lose. Anyway, I don’t want to focus on any of that too much longer. You can go to my thread on winners and losers if you are interested enough in the REASONS for this.

Some students were unable to make this last webinar for work reasons or family committments, so this summary is for them - and for any lurkers who come here wanting to avail themselves of free information.

OK. Get a cup of tea or that poison that some of you drink called coffee and settle in coz the Gazz-Man is gonna end this Alex Jeffrey’s coaching course with a BIG banging post. I haven’t done that for a while and now seems like an appropriate time. I might slap some people around a bit too coz I’m a bit frustrated with the attitude of some. So, click away now if you are a precious flower who only blooms at midnight when there is nobody around to see you.

Today Alex Jeffreys interviewed Andrew Fox in the (bonus) Webinar conducted for students of the Alex Jeffreys Internet Marketing Coaching programme.

In the two hour interview I managed to take approximately seven pages of notes. Here is a series of points covered in that interview:

Hello everyone,

Well the time has finally arrived…

… I want you to meet the creative genius behind the Gazz-Man’s most amazing blog. You are about to meet “Q.” But first, why did I name this person Q? (There is ALWAYS a “but first,” isn’t there?)…

If you have been watching over the last week or so and reading my blog then maybe you know that I chose Q because, indeed, Q is the code name of James Bond’s technical boffin in the movie series. I thought that was pretty cool. However, Q also stands for question. So, in the way that I think, having two alternate meanings was rather delightful. You will notice that quite often I operate on several levels at once rather than just the obvious.

All along my aim was to take the focus off the person’s identity and put the focus squarely onto the WORK that was being done. This was deliberate on my part. You see, this would allow you to see the incredible transformation that has literally taken place right before your very eyes at this blog…

Yes, the changes have been rapid, extensive, very visual and well, in a word… STUNNING. But that is my friend Q. Everything that Q does is the same. Q also stands for QUALITY. And if you are clever enough to get Q to work with YOU (shades of Alex Jeffreys there!), then you will experience exactly the same thing. It is quite an experience to know that you have such a reliable EXPERT in your corner with you.

Alex Jeffreys (apprentice GOO-ROO, not GNU Mr Garry Parkes) is off on a well-earned vacation in sunny Florida, USA while the rest of us are here still hard at it building our blogs and loading them with content anxiously awaiting his return. Well, some of us are.

You see, I have noticed something, something rather normal actually. While the cat’s away most of the mice … do bugger all. I see it in business all the time. When the boss or supervisor vacates the premises, most of the staff slacken off. Well, let me tell you something here. This is YOUR business. YOU are the boss.

I have been my own boss now for almost 20 years and I know that the face you see in the mirror every morning can be the hardest boss of all time (very rare - as in workaholics - eg the person typing all this up for you) or the easiest boss of all time (yeah, I think I’ll go and have a surf, play golf, hang out at the club, blah, blah, blah…)

Well, if you build your business to the level that Alex Jeffreys has, or Rich Scheffren has or Newt Skobernacker has or Mike Filsaime has or Michael Cheney has then yeah, maybe it will run largely on auto-pilot without a lot of your presence. But in the early days YOU should be hussling.

Hello again. Today I have some very interesting statistics for you to look at.

I have analysed the 116 people on my blogeroo (blogroll - but I compare it to a kangaroo coz I use it to hop around from blog to blog, hence blogeroo) and the relative activity that I see from those people as I visit all the blogs. You see, I am one of those people who actually READ the blog owner’s entry and then I skim read what others are doing and the comments they are making. Hence, unlike so many others, I can tailor my comment to what the actual blog owner wants to talk about and GIVE value. So I have a VERY good idea of who is who and the personal traits of most of the bloggers.

I know who blathers in with a COMPLETELY off-topic blast of steam. I know who stays on topic. I know who the GIVERS are and I know who the TAKERS are. But, above all, I know who is active and who is not.

Like I said, at the moment of writing this post, I currently have 116 people on my blogeroo. So, based on my observations on all the posts that I visit, I have categorised those people. Here are the results:

VERY ACTIVE - 19 people representing 16%
ACTIVE - 18 people representing 16%
OCCASIONALLY ACTIVE - 36 people representing 32%
COMPLETELY INACTIVE - 41 people representing 35%
WERE VERY ACTIVE BUT GONE STONE COLD - 2 people representing 1%
