After leaving school I followed the route I was supposed to. I became an
engineer, a regular blue-collar worker at a local factory. Day in and day out, I
trudged to work and put in my day’s labor. But, at the back of my mind, I
was thinking, “There has to be a better way to live than this!”
I didn’t want to have a thankless job my whole life and only have a gold
watch to show for it when I retired.

I started looking around for alternatives and was sold the Network Marketing
dream. It provided a way out for me from my blue collar job. The only
problem was it involved giving presentations, and I was petrified to stand in
front of a crowd of people and talk.
This was all because of my low self-esteem at the time.
To add to that, many people I approached just laughed at me, including
management at the factory where I was employed.
One manager got very angry about some ideas and opportunities that I had
and told me that I’d never ever accomplish anything in my life.
If you have ever had anyone tell you that, you know it can be very
discouraging, but DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM.
You have greatness within you; all you have to do is surround yourself with
those who can help bring it out of you.
I will explain more about this later.
What he didn’t know was that, instead of deterring me, his actions and what
he said really inspired me to try even harder to succeed. It made me even
more determined to achieve my dream.
Instead of listening to the negative feedback from nay-sayers, I chose to
listen to my mentors instead. At this time, I got their words from books and
audio programs that I invested in.
They saw true potential in every person and I chose to believe in that also. I
will be forever grateful to all of them for that. Within a few years, as a result
of this input, I left the factory and built a very successful window-cleaning
business.
Around five years later I had sold this company and built three other
successful businesses.
I share this with you not to impress you, but to let you know that I’ve been
there. I know how you feel, because I felt the same way.
But, I want you to understand that you can do this. If I can, anyone with a
desire can do the same thing and a whole lot more.

This business model is for everyone . There will always be people who tell
you, “You can’t!” or that, “You don’t have what it takes!”
As I have said before, don’t listen to them. Hold on to your dreams instead.
Know that success begins with your thoughts and aspirations. Believe you
can achieve your dreams and you are already halfway there; a big step in the
right direction.
You are capable of greatness. Believe in it.
I wanted to learn, and I wanted to hear what the experts had to say. I let
that drive me and now I am able to share with other people these success
principles.
I truly believe that interviewing is for everyone.

Interviewing Requires No Experience at All - Zip, Zero, Nada!
This model is not only for people who have experience in interviewing. In fact
it’s better that you don’t have any experience as you will follow my proven
system and not try to change it. You don’t need any experience at all, and I
certainly didn’t when I first started out.
Instead, I discovered that experience is something that you can gain over
time if you are willing to copy a recipe that works.
You didn’t give up trying to learn to walk did you?
I had absolutely no previous experience in Internet marketing or creating an
online business at all. I found it completely overwhelming and I was tired of
hearing about how much money people were making online while I was
struggling to make anything online.
In fact, I can remember getting all excited one evening while I sat in front of
my computer when I checked my emails and saw that a sale had come
through.
What a feeling, I loved it, and was really chuffed with myself. Only later to
find out about thirty minutes later that it was from a product that I had
bought which I was an affiliate for.
What a doughnut, right? ☺
Anyway, I was genuinely pleased that lots of people were making a full-time
living online as it was proof that it can be done. I was just frustrated at
myself that I seemed destined not to make it.
After all, I had built up some ‘regular’ companies which were successful and
yet could not seem to make this little Internet thing work.
But, I really wanted a piece of the action and was determined to find out how
to get it.
The thing that really turned things around for me was discovering
interviewing and how I could simply ask for experts’ advice and then use that
as leverage for my online business.

Interviewing Provides Simple Steps To Success
What makes this model really easy is that there are seven proven, simple
steps which you can follow step-by-step.
I will be going into these steps in much more detail in the following chapters.
But, what you need to know for now is that you can be at any stage of your
life. You can be in any industry or live anywhere in the world.
As long as you are willing to work through the information and follow the
simple proven steps, there is every chance you will succeed. Simply copy and
paste. Yes, sometimes the learning experience may be a little awkward.
Sometimes, you may be asked to step outside of your comfort zone. Pretty
scary stuff I know, but I can assure you that it is worth it.
Just imagine if you were earning just $2000 - $5000 extra each month.
What could this do for you?
This is very simple to do and I will show you how to easily ramp it up and do
a whole lot more.

Summary
Interviewing experts leads to an association with them raising your profile.
And, when people see the value you can offer by interviewing them, it makes
you much more of an authority.
When you have the opportunity to speak to an expert, you have an
opportunity to learn and grow in your own personal capacity.
Always take the opportunity to ask if the interviewee knows someone who’d
be open to the idea of being interviewed. Ideally, this is someone they know
and look up to.
This is how you get doors opened for you - simply by asking.
It’s ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL to your success to find a mentor, because
sometimes things don’t go exactly as planned. To have someone else’s
experiences to guide you along the way is priceless.
Never listen to those who constantly remind you of your past mistakes.
You have greatness within you; all you have to do is surround yourself with
those who can help to bring it out of you.
What really turned things around for me, was discovering I could ask for
expert advice and then use this as leverage.

What Do I Mean By interviewing Experts?
I’m sure you’re wondering, “Can I really do this? Could this really work for
me?”
To answer that question, I want to explain what I mean by interviewing
experts, why they will speak to you and why this is such a valuable tool to
use in your business.
An expert is defined as someone who has a high level of knowledge and
expertise in a certain field. They will be someone who has achieved a level of
success and is well known for it. It could be a business person, a celebrity or
a sportsman or woman.
An expert can be in any field of work and in any industry. They do not need
to be on the TV or on the radio.
They just need to be an expert at what they do.
For example, it could be your builder or plumber who has a successful
business right in your area. You may be thinking, “Who wants to hear from
them?”
Let’s think about it. Say that you interview your local successful builder and
you asked questions like:
• Can you describe the 7 most critical mistakes made by virtually
every person when choosing a builder?
• What are the 3 biggest secrets we need to know in maintaining our
homes?

• What kind of qualifications and references should we all look for in
finding an outstanding builder?
• What service should we expect to get from an outstanding builder?
• How about a guarantee of your work? Can you explain this for
those that have had an unpleasant experience in using a builder?
• How important is the right kind of experience and education that
we should look for?
Do you think that people looking for this service would want to know the
answers?
Yes, of course they would, and you can easily supply it to them.
The idea of interviewing experts can be applied to any industry and any
aspect of business. You may want to find out more about Internet marketing,
real estate, stocks, health & fitness, dating, public relations, client retention,
back pain or obesity.
You name it, it can be absolutely anything at all.
There are so many experts out there just waiting for you to interview them,
you just need to find them and talk to them – easy peasy!
I have targeted experts in the field of business and wealth-creation because
this is what I’m passionate about.
When I interview these experts, I find out everything I can about their
success and their secrets to creating wealth and freedom. In return for them
sharing their knowledge, I help to promote them and give them exposure to
a much wider audience.
It’s as simple as that - a very effective business strategy that actually works.

Why You Don’t Need To Know
Everything To Interview Experts
In fact, you don’t need to know much at all. That’s why you are speaking to
an expert, to gain access to their knowledge and expertise.
If you can talk and have a conversation with a friend, a work colleague
or industry associate, you can very easily interview an expert.
Of course, starting out can be a little nerve-wracking, especially if you’ve
never done this before.
But, I personally guarantee you that you will soon gain a level of confidence
and experience if you just copy these easy to follow steps.
The point here is that you do not need to get to that point of confidence
before you start to interview experts. Start out with what you have, and
you will learn the rest as you become more familiar with the techniques.

Why I Believe Interviewing Is the Key
I believe that interviewing is one of the most powerful tools you can use to
build your business.
I say this because it costs you just an hour or so of your time and it gives
you access to information that people may literally pay thousands of dollars
to receive.
This is powerful stuff because it is so simple.
The experts are willing to share their time and expertise because, in return,
you can offer them exposure to a wider audience.
By following my example, you can promote each interview and share the
information with your customers. This enhances the expert’s profile as an
authority in that field, so it’s a win-win situation for everyone.
The expert wins because their profile as an expert is being raised.
You win because you are being associated with the expert and their level of success. Just the fact that you have interviewed them adds to your personal
and business credibility.
You win because you also get valuable information that you can turn into a product for your customers.
And your customers win because they gain access to information that can
help them to achieve success.
Another benefit is that you can get access to the expert’s client list for free.
You only have to know how to approach this ‘missing secret’ in the right way
for you to profit.
This is just one valuable secret that I will be sharing with you later in the
book.

How You Can Become an Instant Authority
When an expert shares with you their knowledge which is something you can
adapt and apply to your business, this turns you into an instant authority.
You will have gained a wealth of experience without having made the
mistakes along the way.
You will have learned from someone else’s experience. It is one of the fastest
and most effective ways to learn strategies that can help you grow your
business.
I hope by now you are starting to get excited about this concept. If, on the
other hand, the cynic in you is saying that it sounds too good to be true, I
encourage you to read on.
I promise you that everything I share in this book is something that I have
personally experienced whilst putting together my Internet business.
I know this works and why it can work for you. It can and will if you only
copy the proven steps.
It’s just like baking a cake. If you have all the right ingredients and follow the
recipe you end up with a cake, right? Well, if you follow the recipe in this
book step-by-step you will have interviewing success.
I’m a young guy living in the south-west of England who never would have
dreamed of interviewing some of the biggest names in business. But, here I
am, and below is a picture of me interviewing Nik Halik who became a multi-
millionaire in his late twenties and the author of a fantastic book called ‘The
Thrillionaire’ To find out about Nik simply visit www.nikhalik.com
Not only have I learned volumes from interviewing, I now have a successful
business built on that single principle.

Chapter Three –
Too Much Information and Can’t Make any of it Work?
~ Everybody is like a magnet. You attract to yourself
reflections of that which you are. If you're friendly
then everybody else seems to be friendly too. ~
Dr. David Hawkins
Information Overload
Don’t you think the Internet has really changed the way we live and do
business today?
Instead of public libraries and encyclopedias being the most popular
reference sources for information, it’s the Internet, right? Whether you are
searching for a new home or car to buy, or wanting directions to a meeting,
you can find that, plus much more information, on the Internet.
Search online for just about any topic and you will get responses from
thousands of websites. Now, while at first glance you may think, “This is
great, there is so much information available.”, you find most of the time
that a lot of that information is not really relevant to what you are
looking for.
Also, so much of the information can be conflicting.
So, what do you believe?
When I looked into starting an online business, I was trying to find a way to
make money from affiliate marketing programs.
I was looking for a niche product that I could sell to a ‘hungry’ market eager
to buy. It needed to be something that I could maybe turn into an e-book or
sell as PLR (Private Label Rights) product..
The more time I spent online, the more frustrated I got. <
