I heard someone say that the first sign of genius is having the ability to take what most consider to be complex and make it simple...This week I had an opportunity to sit down and talk with someone that I consider to be a genius, internet marketing legend Matt Bacak. Earlier this year I had an opportunity to attend one of Matt's events here in Atlanta and I was blown away with the amount of value that he provided and more importantly how simply he broke down his business model. That event was my first time meeting Matt in person but after talking to him and listening to a lot of the insights I knew that I wanted to bring him on the show for an interview. One of the things that I like about Matt aside from the fact that he's a cool dude is that he's built multiple 7 figure businesses. It's always impressive anytime someone can build a business to 7 or 8 figures but when you're able to do it over and over again that's when you know that it wasn't just luck, you're the real deal. In this interview I not only wanted Matt to explain how to build a business but more importantly what he "sees" when he's involved in the creation process...It's one thing for someone to tell you what they do and how they do it but when you can actually understand what they "see" when they're doing it that's when the real gems are exposed. And trust me Matt didn't leave any stones unturned during our talk. In this interview we talked about...

About 2 weeks ago I was surfing around online..
I came across an episode of Young Hustlers where they were interviewing internet personal branding pioneer Dre Baldwin aka "Dre All Day"…
It was cool to see Dre on the Grant Cardone Network, he was one of the first brothers that I saw using the internet to create a personal brand online, taking youtube to the next level and basically creating his own TV "show".
I remember watching his motivation videos back in like 2009, I can even say that he was one of the people that inspired me to create The Dream Chaser Show.
So as I was sitting there watching the interview, in the back of my mind I thought to myself how he had put himself on that stage and created that opportunity on his own...
Without any special connections, luck or family "hook-ups".
He made it happen with good old fashion work and discipline, reaping the rewards that come from making a decision and stinking with it.
How many people have you seen stick with something for 9 years (outside of going to a job everyday)?
Not many I'm sure, most people give up once they see that nobody cares, and that's the reason nobody cares...lol (think about it).
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Dre’s story, in 2006 he uploaded a highlight video from a basketball workout to a new video site called youtube (it was new at the time).
He was using the video to get the attention of pro basketball talent scouts that he was interested in trying out for.
After posting the video and forgetting about it, he came back to it several months later to find that people he didn't know had been watching it and were even asking him questions.
Fast forward to today, since uploading his first video to youtube almost 10 years ago Dre has upload more than 4500 videos online that have been viewed over 30 million times.
What’s even more impressive is that he hasn’t missed a day of doing a video in over 2000 days (that’s over 5 years for those of you trying to figure out the math).
Pretty impressive, right?
Quick question….how much could you accomplish in your life if you committed to putting in work everyday without fail?
What you’ll learn in this interview is that success in anything is 80% about the level of commitment that you have to following a process.
Put all of your attention on following a process instead of getting a result and you're on to something.
Most people get this backwards, the wait to follow the process after they get the results that they're looking for...
Obviously they rarely see the results.
After listening to this conversation with Dre you're going to walk away with a better understanding of what it takes to win and how you need to think in order to achieve the highest results…
Some things that we discussed during this interview…

I have a philosophy, it's been developed over years of observing,reading and tons of experience...The people who can endure the most pain are the one's thatcan handle the most happiness and success.It's not rocket science.Think about it, we already know that we can create whatever wewant in life....if you're willing to do the work that's required to get it.Last week I had a conversation with entrepreneur, writer, and marketingconsultant Ryan "The Hardcore Closer" Stewman.Ryan's a guy who's put in a lot of work and has invested a lot toget himself on top.It's always easy to tell when you're talking to someone who's going"all in" in life. After a few minutes of talking to Ryan I could alreadytell this was going to be one of the realest conversations that I've hadon the show so far.I wasn't wrong about that impression (you'll see what I mean when youlisten to the interview).But just to further clarify when I say that he's realI mean that he owns everything about himself and hislife, the good and the bad.He doesn't make excuses, he doesn't take the easy route...he just sets an intention and attacks.It's always cool to talk to someone who embraces their truth,there are so many people who build brands aroundthe illusion of being perfect, not this guy.They're far and few in between but every now and then youcome across someone who raises their hand and says"Look I've made some mistakes, I'll tell you all about thembut here's why you need to listen to me..." Ryan is one of thosekinda guys.For me the biggest take aways from this conversationwere;
After listening to this interview you'll walk away with a betterunderstanding of the power of transparency.When you stop trying to fit in and own who you are there will besome people who will love you and some who will hate you.That's a good thing, the worst thing that can happen to youis that someone meets you and they don't have an impressionabout you at all.

What's happening Dream Chaser Fam! You probably already know that I'm a big fan of sales. I've been selling all of my life, I love it and couldn't imagine doing anything else. If you're a regular listener of The Dream Chaser Show then you know that I think that everyone should understand the dynamics of sales and marketing. I have personally seen how becoming skilled at the art of getting attention and getting people to say "yes" can provide a lifestyle and freedom that very few careers can rival. So when I had the opportunity to speak with one of the top sales trainers in the UK I didn't think twice about it. Peter O'Donoghue has been training organizations and sales teams how to improve their results for over 20 years. One thing that separates Peter from other trainers is that he's been able to evolve with the industry. As a result of his willingness to evolve he has developed an extremely effective system to generate red hot lead prospects from cold email. In this episode of The Dream Chaser Show I picked Peter's brain from every angle in an effort to bring you actionable content that you can use to jump start your business and get revenue generating results. Peter is one of the most knowledgeable people that I know when it comes to the subject of B2B lead generation. He's built numerous systems (and has coached TONS of people) in the area of sales, cold calling and lead generation. He delivered an overwhelming amount of value in this conversation and even threw in some free training for my listeners (see the link below) Cold email is the most effective, scalable way to build a business and generate revenue in the new economy, get ready to learn from the best in the business. Also be sure to check out Peter's FREE 4 part training series on how to create B2B leads and connect with business owners and C-level executives with no cold calling.
