Earl Flormata - FU Money book report: Dan "the man" Lok

I just finished reading Dan “The Man” Lok's soon to be New York times best selling book that hasn't even launched yet, and it's been one hell of a ride. The three things behavioural changes that I will either choose to strengthen and keep in my life, or change for the BETTER are as follows.

1) I resolve to NEVER chase after talent again, but instead become a talent magnet. I vow to create such a powerful team, and fantastic atmosphere that instead of me begging others to follow my lead, I will just show up and people will come from all around who want to work with me.

I know I've just recently used this quote in a previous post, but damned if it isn't a good one!

Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig.
- Robert Heinlein


2) Before the springtime comes, I resolve to make more money than I know what to do with so that I never EVER EVER!! have to mow the lawn ever again. Either that, or make so much stinking money that I will landscape everything to make mowing the lawn easier than breathing. (I'd actually enjoy it if the damn thing was level). I will stop trying to learn skillsets that I will never ever master - or enjoy for that matter, and instead choose to focus on what I am good at, and what I enjoy doing.

3) Mentors Mentors Mentors. Learn what I need to strengthen as FAST as possible by continuing to leverage masters that have already been where I want to go.

If Internet Marketing is something that could be or should be an interest of yours in the near future, I URGE you to take a look at this book for the "ready fire fire fire aim a little fire again" kick in the pants you need to get your ass off the couch and into profit. Hell, if you ever need a slap in the face for the truth about making your millions in ANY category – this book lights the fire that’ll get you started.

Earl Flormata - Cash Flow BC - Dan "The Man" Lok

Today at the Cash Flow BC event, the guest speaker was none other than Dan "the Man" Lok - internet marketing maven. From his title of best conversion expert to his newsletter to his ultimate lifestyle intensive site, he's got a plethora of information readily available for the average Joe to learn more about the secrets of internet marketing. Well as a courtesy for him being a guest speaker in my office space, here's a link to his blog. His mentorship program can be found at the following site. Another book that Dan had recommended was Scientific Advertising - a free e-book

His content was very dynamic and in-your-face with some very high level stats to prove his abilities. I'm looking forward to the release of his new book, and also our future joint venture projects.

Thanks for reading,
Earl Flormata
