Two Big Lessons I Learned From Lynn Terry

Giving Props

I wanted to pay tribute to somebody who has been instrumental in shaping my internet business.  I’ve followed a small group of internet marketers. Some of them I’ve lost interest in as they seemed to have lost their way. Such is also the case with Lynn Terry. She was the first person who provided me help with my internet marketing business when I was both penniless and clueless. Now, I believe both of us have come full circle in our businesses serving the people that helped make us successful.

Namely, you. Those who want to learn the tips and inside scoop on what works and what doesn’t without being buried in a sea of offers and spam.

A Bumpy Ride

I can’t remember exactly but I think it was 2008 or 2009 when Lynn, a then admitted hater of high-dollar affiliate programs, started actively promoting one of those programs which will remain nameless.

My question at that time was is she trying to move out of the struggling internet marketer niche or has she just lost her way? All I knew was that price tag seemed completely incongruous with the Lynn Terry I had ‘grown up’ with since 2007. With the daily barrage of email and work coming my way, it only took a blink to put somebody off the most watched list and onto the someday list.

Still, I never deleted her from my daily feed.

Fuel For Your Fire-Part One

Human beings are an interesting lot. The things that motivate us can be as specific as a savings account with $100,00.00 in it or as general as a pat on the back. We each have our own definitions of success and failure and nobody can dictate these to us. The only thing that seems to be universal is that we each need to feel like we matter and that we’re making progress towards our goals. Otherwise, we stagnate and risk falling prey to any number of vices that hopelessness can breed.

I’m writing today to give you a report on where I’ve come from, where I’m at and where I want to be. Let’s back up a bit to tell you where I’m coming from.
