Who The Hell Am I Anyway? And...
Why Should I Listen To You?
Question: What makes one tiny little email list of less than 1,500
people, outsell another list 17 TIMES BIGGER … by a
factor of 3.5 times? In other words … 3.5 times more sales from a
list 17 times smaller.
Well … it's the same answer as why another really tiny little list — that
grows at only 10 subscribers per day (some times less than
that) — Generates as much as $1,000 per day.
Both lists? Our list here at MNTN....
The answers to "how" are part of what I'd like to
share with you!
From The Desk Of: Dexter "Chief Nerd"
Abraham
Hey Dexter here...
As you may of guessed that's not my "real"
name.
However, it's my legal pen name, avatar, and everything I'm
about to share with you is 100% true.
Seen as tho you're here … lemme tell you a little story about why I
think you'd be smart to listen to what I have to
say.
Chances are you know me from www.mynotetakingnerd.com . This is where Nerd #2
(Lewis Lalanne) and I poor our hearts out to you, give you notes from the
Guru Seminars, and much more...
I've done quite well for myself in recent years. But frankly,
life wasn't always like this and that's what I'd like to share with you.
In fact, about 6 years ago I came home from a business trip
to find my "Lovely Ex" and my newborn daughter ...GONE!
I also arrived home to IRS Agents hot on my trail for taxes
rightfully owed. I'm still dealing with some of those issues.
This experience left me financially and emotionally
bankrupt.
I went from routinely counting hundreds of thousands of
dollars to (A sickness and some belief alignment issues that would require a whole other website) to counting
pennies.
I was down on my luck, hopeless, and frankly downright
depressed.
I moved into what my friends affectionately called "The Bum
House". Slept on the couch and basically didn't move for about two years.
I just couldn't get out of the funk I was in.
Before I go forward let's take
a step back.
Rewind 15
years and you'd find me on my quest for Personal and
Business Improvement.
From about 1990 (or so) till 2005 I had attended so many
seminars I can't remember them all.
This ranged from 11 Anthony Robbins Unleash the Power Within
Weekends, his Mastery University, all the way to his Platinum Mastermind Group (55K a year).
I attended just about every single "Live" Jay Abraham seminar
available. Not sure I missed any. To this day I still hold Jay's Mastermind Marketing as one of the best business
seminars EVER!
I remember the Dan Kennedy seminars. Wow...Dan was always so
dang good at what he does. Nobody is better at giving you the "Real" shit you
need to hear. I attended his "Brass Balls Conference", Copywriting Seminars, all the way to his
Monstrous Glazer Kennedy Seminars of today...
Read (i estimate) between 600 and 1,000 books...maybe
more.
Studied NLP extensively.
Was intrigued by Milton Erickson.
I traveled the world. Had nice things and a very nice
home.
Business?
- Was mentored by an 84 year old Master Businessman who
started and owned the largest printing press in the United States of America.
- He Took Me off the mean streets and taught me lessons
I'll never forget.
- Learned the publishing business from him and bought
Little Leaguer Magazine. (yep baseball for the
youngsters)
- Grew it from a "Small Town Advertising
Beg" to a $25,000 per page publication bought by Sports Illustrated for
Kids.
- Started, Grew, and Sold a
successful Fundraising business. (yes their is
allot of money to be made in non-profit
marketing)
- Bought into and still maintain an ownership in one of
the largest circuses in the U.S.
- Began my online career when I began to see the writing
on the wall.
- Several successful Niche Online
Businesses.
I say none of this too impress you. But
to impress upon
you that I've been where you have been and probably done
a bit more.
I've had a Million Dollar Plus Net
Worth and I've been $400,000 in debt.
I've also had to sell my change to eat.
In all of this nothing could take away my desire to succeed
nor the knowledge and wisdom I'd obtained.
One core strength I had through all of this was
a unique gift to take the
complex and simplify it down to it's core
essence.
I'd been doing this with my seminar notes for
years.
I'd go to a 3 day seminar and come back with 23 pages of
notes that I could share with someone in just a few hours.
However, one thing always stuck out to
me...
When I'd share the information I knew that I wasn't leaving
anything out. I was literally giving this $5,000 worth of information I'd just taken 4 days of my life for and
sharing "All of it" in just a fraction of the time.
...So back to me being down and
out!
It was during this time that I had an
epiphany.
One of those "Slap On The Side Of The Head
Moments"!
I was still getting all the mailers and marketing materials
from the Guru's.
Only one problem.
I didn't have the money to go.
And at this time there wasn't a whole lot of real good
information sandwiched between the Guru, his $5,000 program, and the books at the bookstore.
I decided right then and there that I was going to become the "Middle Guy" for people like
you and I.
Born out of this period of my
life was the Nerd Site you've hopefully grown to love today.
Am I popular. With some and with other's I'm probably
hated.
But just like Renegade before me I'm o.k with
that.
So what can I offer you?
Wisdom and a unique ability to bring you a ton of information
in a fraction of the time and cost.
It's kinda like having your own Note Taking Nerd sitting
front row getting the stuff you need.
Now...I'd like to say that today things are very different
for me.
I live in a very nice neighborhood on the border of Gilbert
and Queen Creek Arizona. Surrounded by two amazing "full service" clubhouses. Both have ponds stocked with fish
that my daughter and I can catch and release as we please. Kids pools that rival water parks. Adult lounges that
you can "unwind" in and much much more...
Did I mention my "Little Angel"?
Yep...She's my life, my
heart. I'm unfortunately not with my ex but we share parenting
duties with our precious gift.
I have the luxury of working from home, doing what I want
when i please, and my little girl is with my 24 hours a day when she's with "Daddy". As a matter of fact my
consulting clients will tell you they all know her because she's a
constant presence on my phone calls. lol ...
...But everyone knows she comes first.
Later this year I plan to move into my dream home. It's
surrounded by a "World Class" golf course and has the Largest Clubhouse in the world. I'm talking 3 restaurants,
full time barber, men's salon, resort style pool, Olympic modeled fitness
center, and much more....
I work only when I want to, which frankly is a crap
load and I love it. By the way! If anyone tells you that you don't have to work in internet marketing they are full of
crap.
I work with a small, select group of consulting clients. Some
pay me a lot. Some pay me very little. I get to choose though and I love helping people grow.
All of this, for a guy like me, who came from nothing (I grew
up in a tiny little town in Idaho and came from a very broken, dysfunctional family)....this is Heaven!
Some Truth!
I'm nowhere near where I want to be. I'm stretched in places
I shouldn't be and I'm emotionally pulled in areas of my life that cause stress sometimes.
But I'm working hard to better myself
daily.
Today, I am focused almost exclusively on growing what I call
"Nerd Nation".
My goal is to become "The Place" you come for information to
grow your business and better your life.
I want to work hands on with a select few clients, publish
original content, and share "My Take" on the biggest and best seminars on earth.
I CARE!
My clients will tell you that
whether I'm booked to spend 30 minutes on the phone with them or not I'm outcome
oriented.
I've been known to spend 4 hours when I was only paid for 30
minutes.
Some call me crazy. I just love my job and my
clients.
If you take one look at the quality of our over 1,000 pages
of content at our blog you'll know that we care.
This should be a hint at what we plan to provide for the
Premium Members.
Loads of Very Hard Work, Tons Of Creativity, And Relentless Determination!
That's what it's
taken for me to begin to overcome my setbacks and failures.
That's my mindset going forward.
I'd be lying if I
tried to "Sell" you on the concept of the easy road to take.
I just haven't
found that road.
Nor do I think it
excist.
This is exactly
why we share an equal amount of "Inner Game" material at our Blog, via emails, and reports as we do the hard
hitting "Business and Marketing Information".
We know
that it's not easy and it takes a certain mindset to achieve what you want.
What we have to
offer you here at MyNoteTakingNerd is a bridge.
A bridge between you and the information
you'll need to succeed.
A Bridge that will help you go from being ordinary or average, to being
extraordinary and incredibly successful.
I hope you join us
in this journey.
(By the way I say
"Us" because my partner in crime is Lewis Lalanne, Nerd #2, and I'll let him share his story somewhere else but
just let me say I think he's a Genius in many ways and you are truly blessed to have access to the information he
give out for FREE over at the blog)
Also, above I
mentioned how our little list is kicking the butts of many much larger Gurus and Lists. Guess Why? I believe it's
because we care more. I believe it's because we appear more human then the other guys. Maybe I'm wrong but the
numbers don't lie.
So there ya have
it.
My Back
story in a nutshell.
-
Born and raised in
small town in Idaho.
-
Came from
nothing.
-
Had a somewhat easy
rise to Monetary Success.
-
Everything fell
apart.
-
Dug in and started the
climb back to success.
-
Still a work in
progress but I'm getting there.
-
Have a unique gift of
condensing, sharing that information, and a TON of information in this Giant Cranium I'd like to share
with you.
-
Now I live, in a nice
home, in a very nice neighborhood, and live life on my terms.
Join me in this
epic adventure.
Rock On My Friend!
