Live 8 – Busting At The Seams – Updates from Friday (and MORE)

Even cell phone pics show themassive attendence at this historic Live 8 Event!

Normally, we rarely allow outsiders a peek at the closed-door StomperNet Live events but this time we’re doing something a little different.  We’re going to have some free VIDEO from the floor soon, but for now, here are some “leaked” updates from our member portal to show you what our members come back for time after time (which is why this is our EIGHTH LIVE Event in less than 3 years!) Check it out below and let us know what you think!

Live 8 – Busting At The Seams

There are a lot of folks here. I think we’re tipping the scales at 650 attendees. We’ve wedged as many people in this ballroom as you can – without use of a crow bar or an angry fire marshal.

And the energy is already cranked.  Which is shocking, considering about 1/3rd of the attendees stood up when Brad asked how many had traveled here from outside the U.S. That’s eyeball-math but it looked like just about a third to me.

So it’s pretty impressive that considering all the jet lag in the room – there’s tons of laughter, smiles, chatter and excitement. I’ve not caught one person dozing yet.

James Schramko – Sneaky Down Under

First Keynote of the Weekend: James Schramko takes the stage.

Today, there’s not exactly thunder down under.

Oh sure, James Schramko *is* from Australia. He’s smart, he’s successful. But thunderous? Not really. Affiliate Pounce creator James Schramko hit the stage today in a low key, but high content way. With a dry wit and heavy Aussie accent, James wrapped his excellent lessons about affiliate marketing into a very entertaining presentation.

(Every so often, James stops his talk and says “Hey, who wants a sneaky tip?” The crowd hollers back “We do!” If their reply isn’t loud enough for James’ liking, he asks for more energy. Before you know it, it starts to feel like a rock concert call and response. I’m half expecting to hear “Freebird!” soon. It’s just great.)

James’ back story is pretty interesting. Aside from being a top Mercedes salesman and general manager, he tells us that he used work in collections (“…which is kind of like sales…only your customers already have the product.”)

We of course can’t give away every single information nugget and ‘sneaky tip’ James covered. But we can say that relationships are the name of his game.  In fact, he believes so strongly in relationships that he keeps in touch with customers who ended up buying not from him, but his competitors.

Why?

Because he counts on his competitors to not follow up. And most of the time, they don’t. So next time those customers buy, or next time someone asks them for a referral, guess who they remember? Hint: it’s not James’ competitors.

Sneaky, right?

The Need for (Smart) Speed

StomperNet's co-founder takes the stage for the first time as the new sole owner of our organization - so what's on his agenda?

I’m going to briefly address the, um, four folks in this room who’ve never seen Brad Fallon speak before. Get you up to speed and all that.  I can summarize it this way:

Brad’s fast.

He talks fast. He builds companies fast. He makes money, fast.

Brad’s favorite quote isn’t from a business or marketing guru, or any kind of guru at all. It’s from a race car driver named Mario Andretti. “If everything seems under control, you`re just not going fast enough.”

See? Speed is where Brad Fallon is at.

But this event, he has a new twist on his usual “Go, go, go…” He’s now moved on to teaching a way to control the speed. To go not only fast but to go smart. Keeping an eye on how you are “spending” that speed is just as crucial as going quickly.

What Brad’s talking about is Leverage and Productivity. And the wasteful evils of Multi-Tasking. He’s taking us through worksheets and charts based on Brad’s favorite project management system – the Theory of Constraints. It’s really opening a roomful of eyes.

This system works so well that when a government agency used it to build tanks, their productivity skyrocketed. So much so that not only were they suddenly able to output the product they needed to produce…they had extra capacity. They were so efficient and so streamlined that they were able to take on extra work from the private industry.

Wouldn’t you love to get that much done, with exact same amount of workers?

#&*@%@

Bad words never sounded so good as when they will help you find more customers for your business!

Ross Goldberg defines himself a lot of different ways. A war vet. An accidental Internet Marketer. Former Fighter.

Potty Mouth.

He’s all that and then some. Ross’s delivery style is real and honest and always amusing. But his content is solid and real-world and clearly appreciated by the crowd.

Today Ross is talking about managing your reputation online.  He’s helping us manage our overwhelm. He’s actually posting a slide and making us read out loud what’s written on it:

“I promise not to use what I learned today for Evil Purposes.”
