Kameron George (February 2012)
Whistler, British Columbia, Canada
L4 Leadership Level - Marketing Mentor
PRO Member Since: September 2009
How I Use PRO:
Simply put, I use PRO to run my business. I'm in my PRO backoffice daily, checking stats, running tests, learning and managing my business and tasks. It's also where both my clients and myself come to expand our marketing and entrepreneurial education. I'm super excited about PRO's new MIGHT Time feature. It's added an entirely new dynamic to my business and productivity. #MORE#
Why I Am In PRO: I'm here to wake people up to what's really possible online. To the type of freedom and lifestyle you can enjoy when you have the right mentorship and a properly structured online business. Both things PRO is notorious for.
My Favorite Training Call/Webinar: My favorite call by far would have to be the Leadership mastermind call. This call is where PRO's marketing mentors openly and honestly share their perspective and insights on leadership and the science of success.
Perception is reality. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. (Literally!)
I believe surrounding yourself with these leaders, soaking in their perspective and applying it into your own life is the quickest way to achieve success. It's the simple principle of modeling. Success leaves clues.
When you cultivate the same beliefs, and you take the same actions, you will get the same results.
The Leadership Mastermind call is a great place to find the insights and perspective you need to keep moving forward.
My 3 Favorite Marketing Strategies:
Ezine Solo Ads
Facebook PPC
Banner Advertising
My Childhood: My childhood was that of your stereotypical Canadian kid. Spent most of my time at the hockey rink. If I wasn't playing, I was watching.
What I Do For Fun: I'm pretty random. Something most people don't know about me is that I used to play professional paintball. I love playing ball, snowboarding, traveling, and most importantly… napping on the beach :)
Favorite Quote: "Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever." (Ghandi)
My Most Embarrassing Moment: My most embarrassing moment that I can remember? (I get the feeling I blocked a few out). That would have to be when I first moved to Fort McMurray, being at a brand new high school, and getting woken up in English class. Then being told to stand at the front of the class to read out loud. I had no idea what page we were on, or what chapter even. I stood up there shaking, turned bright red and physically couldn't get a word out; my throat closed up on me. It was the weirdest thing.
I still have a fear of speaking or reading out loud in public to this day from that lil' incident.
Favorite Food: I'm addicted to coconut water. Or is it milk? Either way I dunno if that counts as a food. So I'm gonna go with a good ol' steak.
Some Places I’d Like To Visit: By "like to visit" you mean going to visit? In that case I'm really interested in touring all of South America. I am going to hit up Australia for a bit, hang out in Hawaii for a bit. I'm going to check out the pyramids. I plan on going to Amsterdam for a few weeks this year. I hear Spain is nice. Will be in Costa Rica for the Peak Event. Lots to do before someone mentions another cool place and the list gets bigger...
Music I Like: In all honesty I don't listen to music that often. I developed the habit of listening to books on audio while at the gym, in the car or on the chairlift. But when I do treat myself, I'm listening to things like Jack Johnson, Bob Marley, all sorts of House music, classic rock like CCR, and all sorts of random stuff.
Favorite Movie/Kind Of Movies: Picking one movie I would say "Grandmas Boy." But in reality there's so many good ones. I'm a huge fan of comedies.
A good movie I saw recently was Coach Carter. Great movie; check it out
Last Celebrity Encounter: I ran into Rihanna in a club in Vancouver a few months ago. I was also on the chairlift with JP Walker a few weeks back.
Most Rewarding Experience In My Career: My most rewarding experience would have to be seeing clients of mine having their first 5 figure days. Or seeing Guy and Ilan Ferdman receive their master marketer award. The most rewarding part about this business is the growth and achievement you get to see in others. I'm proud of everyone I have the pleasure of working with.
My Biggest Disappointment In My Career, And How I Am Overcoming That Going Forward:
My biggest disappointment in my career is that I didn't get started sooner! Could have caught the good ol' days of Google when it was the wild west ;). How am I overcoming that moving forward? Well I'm here now, and I'm here to stay. Life is full of peaks and valleys, highs and lows. Things don't just happen to us - we have the choice to go out and create them. You're the sum of your choices up until now. What you do today creates your tomorrow. So I'm going to keep learning, keep growing, and keep capitalizing on opportunities to serve as a leader moving forward.
My Pet Peeve: My pet peeve has to be negative people. Negative People suck… plain and simple. I am forever an optimist :)
What I Want My Legacy To Be: I want my legacy to be my ability to help anyone achieve their personal and financial goals regardless of their circumstances.
What would your advice to the newest PRO member be?
My advice to the newest PRO member would be to pace yourself. Success is a journey, NOT a destination. Be a life long student, but use your common sense, take consistent daily action and keep moving forward. Knowledge is only potential power… if you don't take action on what you're learning here it's completely useless.
The fastest way to get the results and success you're after is to fail quicker. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, break things, and learn from your experiences. Keep moving forward and stay in the game.
Its not a matter of IF you will succeed, it's simply a matter of WHEN.
Take the same approach you would next time you sit down to eat an elephant… take it one bite at a time.
If a broke 22-year-old construction worker can do it… there just might be some hope for you yet ;)

How We Use PRO:
I use the PRO system to further my entrepreneurial education and to create other income streams.
Why I Am In PRO:
To make money, help others do the same and to prove to the naysayers that it can be done! #MORE#
My Favorite Training Call/Webinar: The Quality Conversation Call.
My 3 Favorite Marketing Strategies:
Pay Per Click, Banner Advertising, and Craigslist Ads.
My Childhood:
I had an awesome childhood. I was born in the Bronx, moved to Long Island, lived in California, North Carolina and by the age of 9 ended up in Maui, Hawaii. We lived in a beach home on the South end of the Island in which I enjoyed surfing, free diving, spear fishing, hiking and other things I probably shouldn't mention here ; )
What I Do For Fun:
I love waking up and going to the gym first thing in the morning and working out with a small group of guys in which I compete against. I also love fishing, skydiving (though it's been a while), surfing and skiing. I also love spending time with my daughters Hannah (11) and Kaylee (8) and my wife Pamela.
Favorite Quote:

My Most Embarrassing Moment:
In 7th Grade, the teacher asked me to come up to the front of the class to read and let's just say my testosterone was just kicking in!

I'd love to visit Fiji, Australia, Italy, Amsterdam and the Cayman Islands.

My Biggest Disappointment In My Career, And How I Am Overcoming That Going Forward:
My biggest disappointment was when I had left my wife and kids in Georgia to open a brand new hotel in New York and after 4 months of finishing the construction, hiring all the staff and opening the hotel, I was let go. This happened a year before I found PRO and I overcame that by putting myself in a position to not have to depend on anyone but myself for income.
My Pet Peeve:
Liars, thieves and braggarts.
What I Want My Legacy To Be:
I want my legacy to be that I was known by my family as a stand-up, honest, loving and generous man.
What would your advice to the newest PRO member be?

Rich & Natasha Hazlett (November 2011)
Boise, Idaho
L1 Leadership Level
PRO Members Since: June 2011
How We Use PRO:
RICH & NATASHA: We use PRO to market our primary product, PRO U. We also use PRO to offer a training platform that covers the gamut of marketing strategies. We’ve seen how quickly marketing strategies and tools can change, so PRO is an obvious “one-stop-shop” for busy professionals like us who don’t have time to scour the Internet looking for the latest strategies.#MORE#
Our Favorite PRO Courses:
RICH: I love the Automatic Millionaire Mastery Program. David Bach is incredible.
NATASHA: I can't pick a favorite! Maybe that's because I’ve been very busy spreading the word about PRO because I was so blown away by all of the top-notch training and marketing material. : )
Why We Are In PRO:
RICH: When I decided to become a full-time Internet marketer in 2010 after leaving my career in advertising, some of our family members and friends thought it was crazy. Natasha and I left our comfortable high salary jobs in Memphis during the worst economy of our lives, so that we could follow our dreams and move 2,000 miles from home to live in the foothills of the incredible Rocky Mountains.
We only get one shot at life, so I want to spend every day working towards creating a unique lifestyle of time freedom and massive income for myself and my family. When our mentor and friend Ann Sieg approached us about joining her new team in June, it was the perfect opportunity to add a world class training platform and top tier program to our marketing funnel. Thanks, Ann!
NATASHA: I want to be able to help people learn how they can not only survive, but thrive in these economic times by marketing and sharing their talents and message with the world.
Our Favorite Training Calls/Webinars:
RICH: So far, I've loved Justin Woolf's quality conversation call, Aaron Rashkin's live prospecting call and Michael Force's simple ad placement training. It's great to be able to tap into the ideas and perspectives of the MPs on these calls.
NATASHA: I love the Morning Wake-Up Call with J.J. and I have to say that I was blown away at MME8. This is such a talented group of entrepreneurs and everything that they do is top-notch, which appeals to professionals like myself who want to be able to offer high-caliber products and services.
Our 3 Favorite Marketing Strategies:
RICH: PPC, Solo Ads and SEO
NATASHA: Blogging, Facebook, Live Events
Our Home And Family Life:
RICH & NATASHA: We have been married for 3 ½ years and we live in Boise, Idaho. We don’t have kids yet (which is really starting to annoy our parents!) but we have 2 dogs- Dixie (a shepherd mix) and Dakota (a 150-pound Newfoundland).
Rich is a full-time Internet marketer and I practice law full-time (Estate Planning and Civil Litigation) but I like to think I’m a full-time Internet marketer too, since I put in about the same amount of hours! : ) I feel so blessed to have my soul mate as my business partner. We have so much fun together!
Our Childhoods:
RICH: I was born in Boston, Massachusetts but grew up in Memphis, Tennessee and had a fun childhood playing sports, spending time with my friends and being outside as much as possible. I always knew that I wanted to have my own business, and I started my first one when I was 11 washing cars in our neighborhood. Later I moved up to mowing lawns, and as soon as I started working full-time after college I started looking for a way to start a business and not have a job.
My father is an optometrist, but he also had an entrepreneurial spirit which led him to franchise his optometry practice. My mom always had an open mind about trying out new business ideas, and her father owned his own company and was a real estate investor. I also have an older sister who is an attorney and runs her own practice, so I guess in my family being an entrepreneur sort of comes naturally.
NATASHA: I was born in Greenwood, Mississippi but grew up in Memphis, Tennessee. My dad is an attorney and my mom is very involved in several charitable organizations. I have a younger brother (he’s 25) that I’m very close with.
Growing up, it never once occurred to me that I would own my own business. But looking back on my childhood, there was a recurring theme. I loved building organizations from scratch.
The first organization I built was a New Kids on the Block fan club at my elementary school. (How embarrassing is that?!?) In the 7th grade, I created a sorority called Delta Kappa Beta. In the 10th grade, I formed the first Youth Group at my church. After law school, I founded a neighborhood association to help combat the crime in our neighborhood (we were able to decrease crime by 40%). But the thing I’m most proud of was an organization I started with a friend called Bear Hugs With Love in response to Hurricane Katrina. Even though I was working full-time, this organization was able to collect and deliver 10,000 stuffed animals to the children on the Gulf Coast who lost everything due to the hurricane. We got donations from across the country and abroad. Our effort was even featured in the Washington Post and National Geographic for Kids!
So in the fall of 2006, when I discovered the possibility of building my own business from scratch, I felt like I had finally found what I was destined to do!
What We Do For Fun:
RICH: I love trail running, hiking and mountain biking. We moved to Idaho, so we could be close to all of the great options for outdoor activities here. We live about 16 miles from the closest ski resort, which is really cool.
NATASHA: My guilty pleasure is karaoke…and no, I’m not good at it! : ) I also love cooking, snow skiing, volunteering in the community and watching college football (I’m a huge SEC fan).
Our Favorite Quotes:
RICH: “Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.” Jim Rohn.
NATASHA: “Success is a Journey, Not a Destination”
Our Most Embarrassing Moment:
RICH: Telling all of my friends, relatives and anyone who would listen that they were basically stupid if they didn't join me in the first network marketing business I tried to build many years ago. I signed up about 17 people in the first week I joined. Two months later the company went out of business.
NATASHA: Pretty much anything I did to promote my first network marketing business before discovering Internet marketing. The worst was when I would sneak around grocery stores and strategically place my “sizzle cards’ on the store shelves, hoping not to get caught by the employees.
Our Favorite Foods:
RICH: Pizza and Mexican food.
NATASHA: My family is Lebanese, so I’m a huge fan of pretty much every kind of Middle Eastern food.
Some Places We'd Like To Visit:
RICH: I want to go to Bora Bora…sooner than later. We're also planning on renting an apartment in Paris for at least a month where we'll do some work and lots of exploring around Europe. The great thing about having an Internet business is that we can work wherever we are.
NATASHA: Tahiti, Australia, Japan. I would love to go back to Italy and spend a month taking cooking classes.
Music We Like:
RICH: AC/DC, Guns N' Roses, and Johnny Cash.
NATASHA: Anything by Dave Matthews Band, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson.
Our Favorite Movie/Kind Of Movies:
RICH: My favorite movie is Caddyshack. I love absurd humor!
NATASHA: Romantic Comedies. Love Actually and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation are two of my favorites.
Our Last Celebrity Encounter:
NATASHA: Howie Mandel. I was one of the audience members at a taping of the Jay Leno Show that Howie chose to fly to Las Vegas to help him film a segment for Jay’s show. It was completely ridiculous and fun!
Our Most Rewarding Experience In Our Career: (in PRO and outside PRO)
NATASHA: (As An Attorney) I had a pro-bono client who was wrongfully denied gastric bypass surgery. Her weight was severely impacting her ability to care for her 2 small children. I was able to navigate the bureaucratic red tape for her. She lost over 200 pounds and got a new lease on life!
RICH & NATASHA: (As PRO members) Helping one of our students make her first “online dollar”, and then watching her create and sell her own informational product.
Our Biggest Disappointment In Our Career, And How We Are Overcoming That Going Forward:
RICH: After a couple of attempts at building a residual income through network marketing, I decided it wasn't worth my time. I had a good job, and I didn't have the knowledge at the time that I now possess about how to build a business using attraction marketing. Once I had gone through my warm market, I didn't know what to do. I lost touch with a guy I had went to college with and had worked with only to discover five years later that he had achieved what we had both talked about doing when we were working together - he was earning $100,000 a month. I was still at the same job. When I found out what he had done, I promised myself I would never again allow myself to give up on my dreams.
NATASHA: I had a lot of success blogging about my network marketing company when I first started out online. I was generating a ton of leads, making a lot of affiliate sales and we had people joining our business without even speaking with us.
After I had been generating content for over a year, my company informed me that they no longer wanted bloggers writing about the company and they gave me 48 hours to delete all of my content. I was devastated. I wish I could say that I handled the situation better, but I didn’t….I quit.
Luckily, Rich didn’t quit and after some encouragement, I decided to “get back in the game” in the Summer of 2010. I overcame this brutal turn of events by sharing my experience with others and dedicating myself to educating my fellow entrepreneurs about the importance of building their own brand online, so they don’t make the same mistake I did!
Our Pet Peeves:
RICH: People who make excuses for not going after their dreams and naysayers that try to crush people's dreams.
NATASHA: “entitlement” attitudes, excuses and laziness
What We Want Our Legacy To Be:
RICH:
Over the past year since we launched our first information product,
we've been able to reach people all over the world and make a positive
impact on their lives. I would love to continue to provide life-changing
information to people around the world through our Savvy Entrepreneur
brand as well as PRO Elite and PRO U. I believe that promoting
entrepreneurism is a noble ambition that can truly make the world a
better place. I want to do whatever I can do throughout my life to
ensure that the people around the world in the generations to follow
have the opportunity to become entrepreneurs in a free society.
NATASHA: I would love to help 1,000 people make money by pursing their passion.
What would your advice to the newest PRO member be?
RICH:
Don't get stuck in learning mode. Learn by doing. If you learn a new
marketing strategy, go ahead and implement it, and start getting some
results before you start trying to learn about something new. Match
your input of information with an output of action!
NATASHA: You don’t have to know everything before you get started and if you’re waiting until it (whatever “it” is) is perfect, you’ll never get the results you desire. I can’t even remember how many domain names I’ve gone through, how many blogs I set up and abandoned, and how many stupid marketing strategies I tried that didn’t pan out. It’s part of the adventure, so just get out there and get your hands dirty and have fun!
"While masterminding with Rich and Natasha in Las Vegas at MME8, it became blatantly obvious why they achieve noteworthy results. They take responsibility for everything in their business. The belief they possess in themselves to conquer goals while assisting others is unparalleled. We all stand to learn from their incredible example."

Guy & Ilan Ferdman (October 2011)
New York
L1 Leadership Level
PRO Members Since: January 2011
How We Use PRO:
GUY: I use PRO as an educational platform to empower people to create a circumstance in their life that allows for a breakthrough in their belief about themselves, their business and their lives. I've been able to use PRO's platform to educate myself on marketing anything in the world in the online arena.#MORE#And as such I market PRO products and services as well as other products and services that have made a difference for me. We have been able to diversify ourselves greatly online and are currently creating income from about 5 different streams outside of PRO as well. However, we would have not have been able to do that without the education and leadership we get from PRO.
Our Primary Product is the PRO Product Line; we market through our personal brand "SatoriPrime".
ILAN: We use PRO to transform people’s lives. PRO has given us the tools, system and community to impact people in the ways that matter most to them - their finances, their leadership skills and their personal relationships. Guy and I have always been committed to transforming the world, one person at a time. PRO has given us the opportunity to impact thousands, if not millions, of lives. We help them get out of their short-term situations so that they can live their lives focused on their long-term dreams.
Our primary product is transformation. Transformation of people’s financial situation, their personal situations, their view of themselves and reality. We help people get out of their own way, so that they can be the person they’ve always wanted to be. We break down the barriers to what they believe is possible. We give them tools to build their dream lives.
Our Favorite PRO Courses:
GUY: Simon Sinek's "Why" Course because of the perspective and insight it offers.
ILAN: PRO Why.
Our Personal "WHY":
GUY: I challenge people to be the highest versions of themselves, to make them present to what's possible, and empower them to create a life of their own creation.
ILAN: Breaking down the barriers to what people believe is possible.
Our Favorite Training Calls/Webinars:
GUY: I LOVE Quality Conversation calls for the leadership perspective they offer. I've learned so much from listening to the way Aaron Rashkin, Justin Woolf, and Kameron George "BE" with people. Much more important than what they are "DOING" in my humble opinion.
ILAN: For me personally any of the “live lead/applicant” calls have been the best. It was so eye opening to see how the MPs handle those quality conversations. It was never about what they were saying, but rather who they were being, and what they were committed to that really opened my eyes. We’re here to really change people’s lives. People don’t get talked to that way … EVER! That’s who we get to be for them, and hearing the best in the business do it live is awe-inspiring.
Our 3 Favorite Marketing Strategies:
GUY: Facebook PPC, PPV Marketing, YouTube Videos
ILAN: Facebook, Videos, PPV
Our Family Lives:
GUY: Born in Israel to Russian parents, we picked up and moved the family to the States in 1989 and have been living around the New York City area ever since. My parents are incredible people and I continue to learn and be inspired by who they are continuously. We came from humble beginnings and really created an amazing life for ourselves. THE AMERICAN DREAM IS NOT DEAD! My parents always treated us as equals as far back as I can remember and never told us NOT to do something. It created two very independent boys and I owe much of my mindset and success to my parents. In 2003 we all got involved in Landmark Education and our level of communication and how close we are would probably baffle most people. 95% of our family still resides in Israel and we visit quite often, but here in the U.S. we only have each other to rely on.
ILAN: I live with my wife Fanny and newborn Shia. My parents and brother live nearby. We’re an incredibly close family. Guy and I are immigrants to this country from Israel. When we first moved here, it was just our parents and us. We had no one else to rely on for anything so we leaned on each other for everything. Now, we act more like best friends then a family. We go on vacations together, we go to parties together, and most importantly we push each other to be the best versions of ourselves. Maybe that’s why Guy and I are so committed to being that for others.
Our Nicknames:
GUY: Can't do much with Guy. In Russian I'm known as "Guychik".
ILAN: "Loverface" (as my wife calls me)
.
How We Spend Our Free Time:
GUY: With the ones I love, working out, spending time in NYC with great friends, DJ’ing at home and occasionally for public events (I'm getting pretty good at it), and life coaching inside and outside of Landmark Education.
ILAN: With my wife Fanny and newborn Shia. Playing tennis with my brother and friends. Drinking great beer and wine. Traveling the world. Eating at amazing restaurants. Watching movies. Reading great books.
Our Favorite Quotes:
GUY: "You see, the problem in life isn't in receiving answers. The problem is in identifying your current questions. Once you get the questions right, the answers always come". ~James Redfield
ILAN: Change happens all the time. “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
Our Favorite Charitable Organizations:
Anything that promotes peace and understanding.
Top Items On Our "Bucket Lists":
GUY:
- Live in 4 locations throughout the year - Spain, Israel, San Diego and NYC
- Be driven in a Formula1 car at least once
- Take a jump out of a plane with a flight suit on over the Alps
- Take an extensive road trip through South America (at least 30 days)
- Own a real track-ready Ferrari (preferably FXX model) and use it regularly at the Monticello racetrack.
ILAN:
- Impact 1 billion people
- Heli-ski in Alaska
- Own a Ferrari and race it
- Take my entire family on a vacation
- DJ in front of 5,000 people
We're Currently Reading:
GUY: “The Ultimate Alchemy” by Osho and “The Automatic Millionaire” by David Bach
ILAN: Osho, “The Search” and “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo”
Book, Nook or Kindle?
GUY: Books and my Nook.
ILAN: Book. No Kindle yet
.
Our Last Celebrity Encounter:
GUY: I met Mike Myers once, he was incredibly nervous.
ILAN: I don’t really meet many. I would love to be able to call Wayne Dyer my friend.
What's Playing Right Now On Our iPod:
GUY: Since I DJ I mostly listen to sets I put together of my favorite electronic tracks or other DJs. I'm really into a band called "The Boxer Rebellion" right now also.
ILAN: I DJ as a hobby so I mostly listen to sets that I’ve put together:
Our Favorite Movie: "Fight Club"
Our Favorite Foods:
GUY: Sushi
ILAN: Anything that I have no idea what I’m eating, or how someone could think to put such ingredients together to make something like that. Going out to eat at nice restaurants might be my favorite past time.
Our Pet Peeves:
GUY: Inefficiency.
ILAN: People who complain and whine.
Our Favorite Television Programs:
GUY: I watch very little TV but I'm still crying that "Lost" isn't on the air. I watch "Fringe".
ILAN: I love, love, love "Modern Family" but "Seinfeld" will forever be the best show of all time.
How We'd Like To Change The World:
GUY: I'd love to see a paradigm shift away from an "out there" and "in here" experience to one where we were clear that "out there" is only a reflection of "in here" and we get to say what "out there" actually looks like.
ILAN: That people all realize that the voice in their head is NOT who they are. That they are having thoughts, but they are NOT their thoughts. Then I think people would experience a sense of freedom and peace and stop fighting each other.
If I Were Invisible, I Would:
ILAN: I would go sit in on mastermind sessions with some of the most successful people in the world (i.e. Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Tony Robbins, etc.). I would be a fly on the wall learning as much as I could.
Our Weirdest Habits:
GUY: I spin and twist my hair incessantly oftentimes not even realizing that I'm actually pulling hair out. Been doing it forever. Thankful for this full head of hair.
ILAN: When I eat ice cream out of a gallon container I eat one level at a time and make sure that when I finish it’s always perfectly straight.
Our Best Advice To Brand New PRO Members:
GUY: Who you've been your whole life will not be enough to get you to where you want to be or you'd already be there. Get plugged in, open your mind to new ideas, and take massive action. Results will lead you to belief, which lead you to action. Don't doubt yourself and do what you fear the most. You'll be in "awe" of yourself.
ILAN: Stop thinking that when you see the results you’ll start believing in the system. Life doesn’t work that way. When you start believing in yourself the results will show up. You have it backwards.
""Guy and Ilan's business results are a direct reflection of their unwavering commitment to their personal results. Witnessing their growth in both areas continues to be an inspiration to myself and the entire community."
~ John Jackson, VP of Leadership Development

Ann Sieg (September 2011)
Saint Paul, MN (summer) & Hot Springs Village, AR (winter)
L2 Leadership Level
PRO Member Since: May 2011
How I Use PRO:
I use PRO Elite to provide additional training for my own attraction marketing students but my primary purpose for joining PRO Elite is for the top tier opportunity of PRO U. Next to learning how to attract business to them, I believe not monetizing their funnel and their business activities fast enough and getting paid what they're worth is the single biggest problem with 97% of network marketer's business models. PRO U and PRO Elite is the most powerful vehicle I've seen for doing that and is the perfect opportunity for me to provide others for doing that.#MORE#
I am extremely pleased with the high level of professionalism that is demonstrated throughout the PRO Elite system. PRO U's suite of business, marketing and financial professors is world class, along with the leadership team that Jay Kubassek has put together through the Marketing Partner program.
I am an attraction marketing trainer and author with over 200,000 students of my free reports and courses. The reason I developed my product line was to help provide network marketers with the resources, mindset and model to attract customers to them and to control their own business assets. This is what allowed me to go from part time in the MLM industry to *retiring* my husband from his job so he could come back home to work with me. :)
As I mention in my book "The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto", 'teaching sells'. I have been a teacher in many capacities my entire life. It was only natural when I had breakthrough discoveries in my own network marketing business that I would in turn teach others what I had done to reach success.
My Favorite PRO U Course: PRO "WHY" with Simon Sinek.
My Personal "WHY": I state the following in a plural because I have a team that I have developed that have aligned themselves with my vision. The foundation of this vision began with me and my eldest son, who also happens to be my business partner.
- We help network marketers become real entrepreneurs by creating and owning their own assets.
- We believe in creating self-sufficient individuals, families and communities. We do this by creating networks and partnerships who align with our vision and goals to help execute it.
-
We believe in transitioning our economy from having people work for a handful of large corporations to spreading that out into many small businesses where people can be better served.
- We believe the best way to help people contribute to society, their community and their family is to help them become personally and financially independent so they can pursue what is most important to them.
My Favorite Training Call/Webinar: I’ve mostly tapped into the resources of my Marketing Partner Justin Woolf. Watching Justin do one-on-one coaching sessions with my PRO Elite members definitely gave me a breakthrough for my own team promotional webinars. I used the reverse engineering number exercise and now have a complete teaching on this in my webinar series. It helped me get as high as 76% conversions from BBs to PRO U sales. Thank you Justin!
My 3 Favorite Marketing Strategies:
- Pay-Per-Click
- Integration Marketing
- Self Liquidating Offers
My Family Life: I have three grown sons ages 21, 23 and 27. They have all worked in my family businesses. My eldest son, Isaiah, is my business partner along with my husband, Brian.
This September marks the five year anniversary of our company 80/20 Marketing Inc.
I am currently helping to take care of my aging mother-in-law as we help her transition into more care and support.
I love being with my three sons. I home schooled them for twelve years. They are my pride and joy along with the wonderful companionship I’ve had with my husband for over 28 years of marriage. We’re as happily married (if not more) than when we were first married. To be in business together is a wonderful partnership.
How I Spend My Free Time: I love to workout. I was a gymnastics coach for fifteen years, which gave me a huge appreciation for fitness. My workouts are a great defrag time. I also love to spend time with my hubby and family.
My Favorite Quote: “Attack life. Wait for nothing.” ~ Gary Halbert
My Favorite Charitable Organization: http://mises.org/
I am a very strong believer in Austrian economics. I believe that teaching sound economics and free market systems is the best way to spread prosperity, which in turn, empowers people to solve society's problems.
Top Items On My "Bucket List":
- My husband and I want to travel throughout Italy. He currently has a fear of flying so I’m not sure how we’ll make this happen. I’d like for him to attend chef classes while he’s there and learn to prepare more sumptuous meals for me. He loves to cook!
- I’d love to travel to Asia and have an interest to build a team in Singapore.
- Be with my children and work businesses with them. Ideally they all work with me again in my business.
- Educate on a larger scale to the future leaders (children) of the world.
-
Build a legacy of freedom and empowerment for my family that will extend for generations to come.
I'm Currently Reading: Was just rereading the “Science of Getting Rich” by Wallace D. Wattles on my Kindle while flying back from Salt Lake City.
Book, Nook or Kindle? Both.
Our Last Celebrity Encounter: I’m not terrifically smitten with the concept of celebrities ... but if there
were anyone I'd like to meet, probably Will Smith. He's a great actor and
incredibly intelligent.
What's Playing Right Now On My iPod:
- Michael Jackson (I’m a Michel Jackson fan through and through)
-
Michael Buble
- Josh Groban
- Rod Stewart
- Vivaldi
My Favorite Movie: "The Matrix"
My Favorite Food:
I love Mexican and Italian food.
My Pet Peeve:
Laziness.
My Favorite Television Program: I currently do not have a TV. But in our home down South I loved watching "The Apprentice".
My Favorite Holiday: Thanksgiving. A grateful heart will carry you through almost anything.
If I could trade places with any other person for a week (famous or not famous, living or dead, real or fictional), it would be:
Can’t say I have ever had these kind of thoughts except while a gymnast I wish I could have been able to do the amazing bar tricks of some of the world’s best gymnasts.
To date, the most courageous act I have done is:
According to this quote I’ve already done it:
“Entrepreneurs are paid for: they are not paid on an hourly basis. They are paid for their vision, courage, stamina, willingness to do what others will not do so they can live a life others will not live. They are paid for staring down fear, ignoring fatigue, fighting loneliness, pushing through discouragement and walking by faith. They are paid for putting their dreams, lives and security on-the-line and only those who have been there understand that being an entrepreneur is a high wire act without a safety net. They are modern day heroes that deserve everything that comes their way.” ~ Dr. Tom Barrett
My Earliest Memory:
I remember the room I shared with my two brothers when I was a very little girl. My dad was building our house at the time.
My Best Advice To Brand New PRO Members:
Gain self-mastery and self-discipline. Set benchmarks and make sure you complete them. You are responsible for creating your future and no one else. Accept that responsibility and live up to your God given talents and calling.
"We are privileged to welcome Ann to the PRO community. Committed to the highest ideals of entrepreneurship, Ann is widely regarded as an expert in her industry. She is a visionary who is passionate about her message while making a positive difference in other people's lives. Ann stepped in to the PRO Elite community, fully embraced our tools and resources and made them her own.

Melanie Phillibert (June 2011)
Ocho Rios, Jamaica
L1 Leadership Level
PRO Member Since: 2008
How I Use PRO:
"We" use PRO to market the PRO U Memberships. I say "we" because I am a member of the iProSynergy Team that I co-founded in December 2010 with fellow PRO members Jann Thomassen (Norway) and Helene Thituson (Sweden). We pooled our talents and just a few months later we were honored to be awarded with one of three Master Marketing Awards presented at last month's 7th MME in Phoenix.
I have also had the privilege of working alongside one of PRO's top female producers, Lena Bjorna. First, as her personal assistant and more recently as sales development director, an experience that I have enjoyed every step of the way. I have even done a stint calling leads for PRO!#MORE# With the skills I have acquired in the PRO training platform I have been able to do online marketing consultancy for offline businesses and to conduct IM seminars for corporate executives. I knew nothing about Internet marketing when I got started!
I opted to sell the PRO U Memberships because they are a valuable and much needed resource for business owners, both online and off. The Pay Plan is very lucrative and the new PRO Elite program makes selling this business model extremely easy! There is something for everyone in this plan.
My Favorite PRO U Course: PRO "WHY" (I thought I knew my "why" until I did this ... seriously!)
My Personal "WHY":
My children, my invalid mother who is the most positive person I know and just an inner desire to make my mark on the world ... a desire to achieve something great that will have a positive impact on others.
My Favorite Training Call/Webinar: Jay's "99%" call and JJ's Wake Up call! (I usually listen to the recordings.)
My 3 Favorite Marketing Strategies:
- Facebook PPC
- Article Marketing
- Video Marketing
My Family Life:
My family IS my life ... my husband Garth, my children Jessica, Allison and Joshua and my step-children Stephen, Ceri and Luke. They are my joy and they have sacrificed a lot as I have traveled this road ... I love you guys! Then there's my 3 dogs, our birds and 2 horses.
My Favorite Quote: “Do something good, something positive for someone else today. But do it in the knowing that there's no way they can ever repay you." ~ John Jackson
"I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me." ~The Bible (Philippians 4:13)
My Favorite Charitable Organization:
Trumpet Call Ministries International (www.trumpetcallministries.org)
How I Spend My Free Time:
Playing chess with my son, going to the movies and the waterfalls or beach with my family. Going out for dinner with my husband. Laughing as my youngest daughter shares her many stories and talking to my older daughter who now lives in the U.S.
Top Five Items On My "Bucket List":
-
Travel across the U.S. with my family from Florida to Canada.
- Sponsor children who want to go to University but can't afford it.

My Pet Peeves:
Whining and slow Internet (ugh) ... and I don't like to be called "dear"!
My Nickname: "Miss Mel" to family and close friends in Ja.
My Advice For Brand New PRO Members:
Plug in, stay connected and committed and never EVER give up. Believe that you can and will do it. It's not a matter of IF but WHEN! And be REAL with your prospects!
The One Thing I'd Most Like To Change About The World: Racial injustice.
My Favorite Holiday: Disney World, Orlando Florida with my family ... the ideal family trip.
If I Could Meet One Person From History It Would Be: Eva deRoux, my grandmother on my mother's side. She was the first woman in Jamaica to drive a car, and I have been told, a very powerful and kind woman. She died the year before I was born.
Something Surprising About Me: I used to brand my own bulls at 18 years old when I took over our family property in Jamaica after my dad died and my mum had a massive stroke that same year. My husband and I still live on and run this property and my mum (now 80) lives with us.
"What sets Melanie apart is her relentless determination and her ability to see past any obstacles that come between her and her goal to achieve success. Spend just a few minutes with Melanie and you'll quickly discover her enormous heart for service. She is passionate about supporting her team and the entire PRO community and being able to make a difference in her world." ~ John Jackson, VP of Leadership Development

Sture Nyberg (April 2011)
Ekerö, Sweden
L1 Leadership Level
PRO Member Since: November 2009
10FOR10 Graduate: February 2011
How I Use PRO:
To market my primary product, PRO U and Automatic Millionaire®.
I choose PRO U and AM because it’s a product needed by every single household. Period! It has some really extraordinary features; it combines building up your own personal and financial development but it also gives you a fantastic earning possibility. As it’s well recognized, by the author David Bach it gives you a third feature which I consider to be invaluable, a brand recognition which enables you to grab people's interest.
I also love the open business environment at PRO as you’re able to market any kind of products and services you like to your customers.#MORE#
My Favorite PRO U Course: My next course to study will be the “PRO WHY”.
My Personal "WHY": I have a passion to build business. And in this context it means I can support others to build their own business so they become truly successful. My personal Why is to create such financial independence so I can give my children the life they deserve. Not particularly only abundance, but the freedom that most families don’t have. Freedom of time, freedom of mind and financial freedom.
My Favorite Training Call/Webinar: The "99% Call" has really captured my attention.
My 3 Favorite Marketing Strategies: Today I do a lot, but my favourite strategies are:
- PPC
- Organic ranked websites
- Video Marketing
My Family Life:
I’m married to my beautiful wife Marica. We have 4 kids, two still at home. As far as possible we like to travel, enjoy friends and family.
My Favorite Quote:
“To achieve something you haven’t achieved before, you must DO something you haven’t done before.”
My Favorite Charitable Organization:
The people less fortunate than our self. Everyone can end up in a situation where they need support and care. Just look around you and you’ll find them.
How I Spend My Free Time:
Free time is mostly spent with the family. We love traveling and have been to many interesting places, I’m a passionate Photographer and I can spend hours out there in nature capture small or big amazing things.
Top Five Items On My "Bucket List":
-
Continue to travel to exotic places
- Make photographic expeditions to Alaska, Canada, Island, New Zealand...
- Rebuild our house with spaces for kid activities

I'm Currently Reading:
"Wealth Beyond Reason" by Bob Doyle
What's Playing Right Now On My iPod:
As we’re living on another time zone, I listen on most PRO calls the day after.

The Last Movie I Saw: Something with the kids...
My Nickname: I don't have a nickname.
My Favorite Food:
Mexican - Tacos, Nachos...
My Pet Peeves:
People that complain and do nothing about it. People with negative attitude without knowing why. People that blame others. People who exploit others. No, take charge of your own thoughts and do things that will improve your life.
My Advice For Brand New PRO Members:
“Take Actions” and “Be Persistent” are extremely important to be able to achieve results. But THE single most important aspect is your MINDSET! If you believe it, you can achieve it!
My Favorite Holiday & Why: We’ve done some remarkable travels and the trip to Jamaica last summer for three weeks with the whole family was really something. BUT the strongest impact was a journey to Australia, New Zealand and Thailand a few years ago. We spent 7 weeks away at these fantastic places. It was a dream come true. Awesome. I brought more than 8,000 pictures back home...
If I could trade places with any other person for a week it would be: If I could, I wouldn't trade places but rather stand beside great leaders like Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela or even Ingvar Kamprad (founder of IKEA). People that believed in and worked for something bigger than themselves. From them, I would have learned at lot and tried to implement that in my daily life.
To date, the most courageous thing I have done is: Speak in front of 350 people. Climbing a power line mast up to 55 meter height (180 feet).
If I were a car, I would be: A German Audi (extreme performance without extreme appearance)
"To witness Sture's persistence in becoming a prolific marketer and an inspiring leader has been a joy. He sees no obstacles, only stepping stones. He's proof that a positive attitude coupled with a winning drive is unstoppable. Sture is willing to make the sacrifices required to excel as an entrepreneur.

My Pet Peeves:
Seeing people quit on their dream and accepting mediocrity, or less than mediocrity. I cannot take it when people quit on their dreams and settle for a life that they dreaded to begin with, instead of a life filled with passion, fun and endless possibilities. Life is so short and each day is a gift from God that is meant to be lived to the fullest. I have no tolerance for quitters. Quitters Never Win and Winners NEVER Quit.
My Advice For Brand New PRO Members:
Never Never Give Up. Be relentless, persistent, and consistent. Focus on your "Why".
Take consistent daily action. Commit to doing the 5 things that leaders do DAILY. Focus on one form of marketing for 90 days. Take massive action. Most importantly, have fun. Focus on your vision and stick with it regardless of how long it takes. Make this your only focus. Do not get distracted. No Excuses.
The Person From History I’d Most Like To Meet Is: Jesus – The Lord is my mentor and guide. My faith and the word of the Lord has carried me during my lowest and worst time in my life. I know when I walk by Faith and not by sight in all areas of my life that I am guided by the Lord. I would be honored and blessed to meet Jesus. “According to your faith, be it unto you. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
The Most Courageous Thing I’ve Done:
Skydiving (twice).
My Best Birthday Ever:
February 2010 - Joe took me to Riviera Maya, Mexico to an all inclusive resort for 3 weeks. It was a great birthday gift spending time with my best friend. We love grabbing our laptops, traveling and seeing the world.

Sophia & Aaron Rashkin (February 2011)
Colorado
L4 Leadership Level
Back in late July 2008 when Sophia and Aaron Rashkin first learned about CarbonCopyPRO, they had just begun downsizing their lifestyle due to a tremendous dip in their personal income.
They had been with a traditional multi-level marketing company for five years and, although they had built quite a large team, their monthly checks had seen better days - make that much better days. #MORE#
It had dipped down into the low four-figure range and although they had 2 kids, 2 cars, 2 mortgages and one big goal of financial freedom, they refused to join the ranks of those who started shrinking their dreams to fit the size of their paycheck.
For their first several months in PRO Sophia invested upwards of 10 hours per day learning how to generate leads through advertising and Aaron focused on converting that traffic using automated follow-ups, broadcast messages, personal phone calls, web 2.0 & social media. The two quickly realized that with smart work, relentless persistence and never-ending belief - coupled with daily action - it was just a matter of time before they would become one of those 100 Millionaires that they read about in PRO's Mission Statement.
"For us, it was a huge stretch, but we were (and still are) willing to do whatever is necessary to take our personal and business lives to the next level," says Aaron.
The two made some "out of their comfort zone" type commitments early on, knowing that the most successful people in the PRO family all were willing to take a small step backward in order to make a huge leap forward. And the Rashkins were no different.
"We saw what was possible by attending our first event. Once we met a few leaders, I knew it was just a matter of time before that would be us up there on stage, winning awards and collecting big prizes," Sophia remembers.
Sophia and Aaron took no chances. They made many sacrifices early on, figuring out what they had to give up in order to get what they really wanted. The short list of these sacrifices included television, spontaneous activities with the kids that would pull them from "revenue producing activities", and even some Date Nights were postponed as they were on the verge of a major breakthrough.
And in the end (if there even is one) it's all paid off.
They are consistently at the top of the PRO Leader boards, have earned well over 7 figures (on the verge of $1.5 million), have a lifestyle to die for (which they seem to have been willing to do), and are the recipients of the coveted PRO Founders' Award which is presented to those who have instilled great success in others.
Interestingly enough, driving around in a "PRO paid for" 7 Series BMW wasn't part of Sophia and Aaron's plan. Instead, they used the money that would have paid for the car to provide fresh clean drinking water in 3rd world countries through an organization called WineToWater.org.
"Our dream has always been to give back and when I saw what Doc Hendley of WineToWater was doing for people who were dying every day because they don't have fresh water to drink, I knew right away what we are really supposed to be doing with the extra money we are earning," Sophia says.
And although Sophia and Aaron appear to have reached the pinnacle they are not, by any means, done yet. "What some might call the top, is just the start of a higher climb for us," says Aaron.
The two have big, big plans to be a large part in transforming over a million lives with David Bach's “Automatic Millionaire” product line. Already Sophia and Aaron have assisted dozens of PRO Members in getting started with their AMI Memberships and, just in pre-launch, the Rashkins have earned well over six figures as a result of their commitment.
"We have so many people to thank starting with our own team and, of course, Jay, Aaron, Alan, John Jackson, Jeff Lerner and the entire PRO Corporate Team have all been instrumental in our success, as have the MMG, the AMI Leadership Council including David Bach and our Personal Assistant & Business Development Coach, Dave Rhea," the Rashkins continue. "We’ve found so many new friends, new alliances and role models right here in the CarbonCopyPRO Community. They come in all shapes and sizes and from all walks of life. We couldn't be more proud to be PRO's February Spotlight Members. Most importantly, thank you to every member of the PRO Community for being a part of this. We truly have something very special here to be very proud of."

Andrew Cass (January 2011)

It feels like just yesterday when me, Jay, Aaron and a few others were sitting in a hotel room in Austin, Texas forming CarbonCopyPRO. This was the fall of 2007 and since then, I’m not really sure that we’ve ever looked back…
It means a lot to me being the first member of CarbonCopyPRO. It also means a lot to me having won more sales contests here than anyone in company history. Results, not just seniority, matter a great deal to me.
However... #MORE#now being featured as the ‘Spotlight Member of the Month’ for January 2011 to kick off a brand new year and a brand new chapter at CarbonCopyPRO is pretty special as well. This is an organization and a community that values people and relationships first. I know of no other organization like that and I’ve been with many over the past twenty years or so.
My background was ten years in the financial services industry before I landed in the Internet Marketing world in 2006. At that time, I invested $12,000 into a private, 6-month Internet Marketing coaching program with The Internet Marketing Center. It taught every single detail you could imagine about building an online business. I launched my first Info-Product as a result. This was before Google was even word, so I’ve been around for some time…
The point is, all of what I learned over that 6-month time frame for $12,000, is now taught here week in and week out with the CarbonCopyPRO membership for less than $150 per month. Unbelievable value to me. And, it pays an ongoing $30 monthly affiliate commission – true residual income! And now, with CarbonCopyPRO locking up exclusive licensing and marketing rights to the world famous Automatic Millionaire brand by David Bach, the game is about to change for many, forever. Mark my words.
I could not be more proud to be the first ever member of this organization, and now a Founding BLACK Member of Automatic Millionaire under the PRO U seal. More important, I couldn’t be more thankful of the close friendships I’ve developed here over the past few years. Some of my best friends are here in this company. That means the most to me.
Thank you Jay, Aaron and Alan for your commitment to integrity and your members first, everything else second.

Wow ... all we can say is that we are truly honored, humbled and surprised by this monthly spotlight as we've been members of CarbonCopyPRO before there was PRO.
Despite having been top earners for nearly four years and having one of the largest teams and all the awards for it etc., we are most touched by#MORE#all the positive and appreciative emails we get from our team and the community on how we've inspired and empowered them to truly believe what is possible within them. As they see and realize we are just like them, not having some special skill or extraordinary talent, but just discipline, drive and a work ethic which creates incredible results within this community and that they can do the same.
We found Jay, Aaron & Alan before PRO launched and we are so grateful and thankful we did as it changed everything for us. Having been in corporate sales for years, we wanted something we could do from home and get paid what we were truly worth, as we knew entrepreneurship was the only way that would happen. We spent years of trial and error and the school of hard knocks trying to make a real six figure income from home and leverage the Internet. We always had the desire, drive and determination but many of the opportunities were just not what we were looking for. They didn't provide the true long-term growth and real world products that had real value and changed people's lives.
But when we found PRO, we found our home. It had all of those things and more. We've developed a seven figure annual income here, working less than 40 hours a week. We’ve also found many life-long business relationships and many have become some of our best friends, teachers and mentors whom we’ll never take for granted.
Our inner passion and drive comes from helping others truly empower themselves and realize their real potential and in turn be that "light" for others around them. It's our "Why". It lights our "fire".
We have never missed a live event, training or business invite and we spend our days building relationships, coaching, training and supporting our team. It has rewarded us beyond our dreams.
We thank Jay, Aaron, Alan and all the PRO management for their heart -felt desire, dedication, drive, and the way in which they truly take unwavering responsibility for all of us whom depend on and leverage their platform and leadership to create success within ourselves and others. We thank you and our family thanks you. We are proud to call the PRO community our home.
Sincerely,
Michael & Dalila Force

Loyal 9 Revolution (November 2010)
New Jersey
L4 Leadership Level
In Their Own Words ...
In March of 2010 when we sat down over scotch and cigars in the bar of the Boca Raton Resort no one knew what was being hatched, not even us. It was simply 7 L1 or higher leaders (Jeff Learner, Anthony Busciglio, Justin Woolf, Jordan Crowder, Benny Bells, Kevin Levonas, and Frank Scott) sitting down after a long day at a PRO Master Marketing Event to connect, unwind, and compare notes on what it takes to be a top PRO marketer (4 of us had been Marketing Spotlight members previously, and 1 of us sat on PRO's elite mastermind council, the MMG).#MORE#
Issues discussed included how to assist more people with achieving their desired results, how to get more traffic for our businesses, how to provide more coaching and hands on support to our teams, and how to "climb a rung higher on the ladder of leverage". Ideas were shared, friendships were cemented, and as the hour grew late the conversation ended as it had begun, naturally, and without fanfare.
But a seed had been planted, a network within a network had been formed, and as would become obvious, the first shots of a Revolution had been fired.
As the conversation continued over the next few months a sense of possibility began to crystallize into an idea. What if 7 already successful marketers leveraged each other to get even more results in their businesses? Would it work? Could our egos be managed? And ultimately, would more people benefit as a result of such a partnership?
Confident in what we could achieve together, and propelled by our growing camaraderie, we decided to give it a shot. On June 1, 2010, Loyal 9 Revolution was officially launched. It is an anomaly in an industry centered around "personal branding"... a team that is led by a mission, rather than a person. We are 7 leaders, all fully capable and accomplished in this business, who have stepped back from the spotlight to focus on our "why" - to spread the message of possibility and empowerment through Internet entrepreneurship as far and wide as the web can reach.
We are pleased with what we have accomplished in 5 months but are more pleased with how we have done it ... resisting the urge to take credit as individuals, deferring to the strength of our mission, and focusing on results.
Many have asked us where the name Loyal 9 comes from - since there are 7 of us, not 9. A little time on Wikipedia can answer that in full but we'll just answer that the original Loyal 9 Revolution showed what a small group of committed individuals are capable of and changed the world as we know it. The opportunities and technologies that we all enjoy today are a direct result of the original Loyal 9.
It is a name that carries with it a great legacy and great responsibility. We are honored to wear it.
~ the 9

Neil Ashworth (October 2010)
Ireland
L1 Leadership Level
It was late Sunday evening and the sun was finally settling behind the Kerry mountains when I got the call from JJ telling me I had been chosen as CarbonCopyPRO's "Spotlight Member of the Month" for October 2010.
Now, I live in a pretty remote part of Ireland so, out here, we make the most of good news … and this was certainly the best news I could have asked for as my weekend came to a close.#MORE#
After JJ and I hung up I ran outside, grinning like a fool and roared with delight (like a bear with a fist full of honey) then watched as a field full of cows, goats and donkeys scattered into the distance, my excitement and sheer delight ringing in their ears.
Five minutes later I find myself sitting in front of my computer trying to put in to words how I got here and what it all means.
I spent three years trying to earn an extra $500 per month online before I finally took the plunge and joined CarbonCopyPRO in late 2009.
Most of my life had been spent working in the charities sector following a brief career as a Pro Soccer player back in the 1980s, so life as an entrepreneur was not something that came natural to me.
My results online had been mixed, at best. I had tried almost every niche I could think of to make money and had built so many websites and installed WordPress so often I was beginning to dream in code.
Yet, in spite of my best efforts, I found myself sinking further and further in to debt. And I’m not talking about the kind of debt that means you don’t take the kids on holiday every year. I’m talking about the kind of debt where you find yourself unable to get to the shops the last week of the month to buy groceries because you have no diesel.
Needless to say, when I joined PRO it was somewhere close to the end for me, at least financially.
Now, just one year later I find myself positioned near the top in my primary business and I’ve just had my best month so far having worked my way through that opportunity's compensation plan month-by-month, sale-by-sale. To simply state that life has changed for me would not do justice to what PRO has given back to me and my family. I am truly grateful to Jay, Aaron, JJ and the entire PRO leadership team for building this incredible system, offering this opportunity and continuing to take it from strength to strength.
My journey to where I find myself today has been one of many ups and downs. I got started with the BiB but, as I recall, I had to wait a week or so after purchasing my Application because I could not afford the BiB at the time. I had a tough start but as soon as I looked into the PRO backoffice and saw what was available to me I knew I’d made the right decision. Today, I still believe that all roads lead to CarbonCopyPRO.
PRO has shown me that it’s more than just the money we earn that makes us successful. It’s about how we are as people and how we chose to build our business online and our futures. I’ve read every PRO Spotlight Member of the Month at least ten times and one thing that I see clearly from each is a picture of honesty and hard work. I believe this is a direct result of the values passed along by Jay, Aaron and the rest of PRO's leadership.
I am truly proud to be recognized and honoured to be a part of this great community. #LESS_TAG#

Rob Napier (September 2010)
Cyprus
In his own words ...
Would You Die For Your Why?
Seven-thousand-one-hundred-and-twenty-three miles later, the PA system pumps out an electrifying beat. I join a queue of thousands of folks from all around the world, lined up and committed to being here.
Then, the doors to the ballroom of the Paris Hotel, Las Vegas, burst open. It’s time… and the Master Marketing Event (MME) explodes into reality!
The date is November 19th 2009. Just a few weeks earlier I became a Referring Consultant member of the CarbonCopyPRO community.
I had no idea where the cash to capitalize my new business would come from. Truth is,#MORE# I was heavily in debt. Yet still, I’d jumped on a plane from the island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean, to be at this event.
Why?
Yes!
I’d travelled a ridiculously unreasonable distance for an event lasting one day, in the pursuit of my “why”.
This Single Event Could Change Your Life
Less than twelve months after that MME, I’m at the highest level in my primary program. And recognized for my performance at PRO, as spotlight member of the month!
You’ve heard JJ say, “Not everyone who attends the MME will become a millionaire. But everyone who will become a millionaire will be attending.”
Do whatever it takes!
I’m incredibly grateful to Jay, Aaron, Alan and John. Thank you for creating this community and leading such a unique group of entrepreneurs. May I take this space to express my appreciation to you, for giving me this opportunity to better live my why.
My why has been a burning passion for most of my life. It’s influenced every decision I’ve made. It’s like a compass bearing that never changes, regardless of the hand life deals me.
Of course, it’s much more important than money… and much bigger than me. And when tested in the form of ill health and pain, I was indeed prepared to die for it.
My why is very simple to express, but it’s at least a lifetime in achievement. It is this: I have no greater desire than to know who I am, where I came from, and where I’m going.
You see I’m a seeker of the truth. And CarbonCopyPRO – along with my primary program – is the tool I’m using to manifest a lifestyle which enables me to continue in my quest.
Know Thy Self
My why has made me who I am today. Apart from six younger years in Her Majesty’s Royal Air Force, I’ve never had a “proper” job. Being an entrepreneur was the default non-choice, and escaping economic slavery, vital.
For over twenty years I’ve either been starting businesses, or direct selling products in other people’s businesses. Along the way, and well before the advent of the Internet, I came up with this personal measure for evaluating business opportunities:
I was looking for a business…
- I could run from anywhere in the world…
- Where, as much as I love being part of a team, I was not dependant upon a team for my income …
- Plus, which paid well, and included a slice of the profits.
After years of searching, study, and investment of time and money, I became a direct response copywriter—yep, I write junk mail! I found that instead of making just a handful of face-to-face presentations per day, I could write a sale and have potentially millions of folks read it!
The writer’s life gives me the freedom to live wherever I choose. The Internet marketer’s life can do the same for you! And while I’m British by nationality, I spend a lot of my time living in sunnier climes.
As part of my contrarian character, I specialize in writing for the natural health market. I love helping folks transform their health, based on simple healing truths the mainstream doesn’t want you to know of.
In recent years I watched my clients become wealthy, as they started putting my words on the web. And I realised I had to become an Internet marketer myself.
Several false starts later, and thousands of dollars down, I was introduced to CarbonCopyPRO. When I met PRO in Vegas last year, I thought all my Christmases had come together! The formula is as complete and perfect as you’re ever likely to find.
If you’ve never been inspired to become a marketer before CarbonCopyPRO, trust me when I say there is no finer place to learn your trade. Now switch off the TV and…
Get Unreasonable!
You won’t succeed in this business by being reasonable, because you can always find reasons why it won’t work. Do what your leadership counsels you to do as far as unreasonably possible. For they truly want you to be successful and they know exactly what it takes.
Now articulate your why, for which you would ultimately die, and I guarantee the universe will eventually yield to the force of your passionate focus.
Thank you for this honor. I’m dedicated to being worthy of it, and to being an inspiration to my fellow members. #LESS_TAG#

Aaron Chen (August 2010)
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
L1 Leadership Level
First of all I would like to say that I’m humbled and honoured to be the August Spotlight member for CarbonCopyPRO. To be given this edification amongst a very large group of talented marketers from all around the world is a real privilege.
There are so many people I would like to thank that I don’t even know where to start. Thank you to Aaron and Jay for putting together such a top-notch system. Also thank you to JJ for reaching out to me and getting us pumped on his daily mornings calls. And, of course, thank you to all the trainers inside of PRO for helping me to figure out a lot of stuff!#MORE#
A bit about me: I’m turning 28 years old this month and originally from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - yup, the place with the tallest twin towers in the world. I spent a lot of time abroad in the U.S. and Australia but ended up in Shanghai, China for 5 years where I got sucked into the corporate world as a financial planner.
To be honest, life was good. I was making good money and was in quite a senior role but after working 12 hour days, 6 days a week for 5 years, the job started to take its toll on me and that’s when I found CarbonCopyPRO. I dabbled around in other things for a few months before really focusing and leading with the PRO system and when I did my income and results really started to change.
What can I say? The system is one of the best - if not THE BEST - in the marketplace. It’s positioned very well and has everything a person needs to go from “zero” to “hero”. The beauty of the platform is that everything is here. You don’t need to waste money on random products here and there before getting real results. You just need to get plugged in and follow exactly what is being taught to get your business up and running online.
My friends still can’t believe I work from home. The only reason I was able to quit my corporate job, move back to Malaysia and go full time into this business was because of CarbonCopyPRO. The skills I have learned through this system over the last 12 months are tremendous. It’s funny because before I started this business, my brother used to make fun of how useless I was around computers. Look who’s laughing now!
My life didn’t turn out the way I had planned and I couldn’t be happier. Being able to work when you want, from wherever you want, is something you can’t put a price tag on. And for those of you out there who are in search of the same thing, I have some advice for you:
1. Focus on your online marketing education. Without this foundation, your business will crumble more quickly than you can build it. Plus you will make more money with these skills than anything else in this business.
2. Use a solid marketing system like PRO. It’s more affordable and will save you time and will teach you the ins and outs of running a business online. There is no real substitute.
3. Spend time on your business. If you treat your business like a hobby, it will pay you like a hobby. Don’t treat your business like a hobby and remember that execution is everything.
4. Be realistic about your time horizons. At the risk of sounding cliché, this is a marathon NOT a sprint. So remember to pace yourself and set realistic goals so you can achieve them. Trying something for one month and then throwing in the towel does not constitute as “trying”. Success rewards those who stay the course!
I wish everyone in our community all the best. You have everything at your fingertips to get you to where you want to go and more … make sure you use it! #LESS_TAG#

Vishal Bhatia (July 2010)
Minnesota, United States
L3 Leadership Level
I am extremely excited and humbled at being recognized as this month's CarbonCopyPRO spotlight member.
I would like to sincerely thank Jay and Aaron as well as the entire leadership at CarbonCopyPRO for their guidance and continued support in making CCPRO one of the strongest and most effective marketing platforms the industry has seen.
I am 31 years old and currently live in Minnesota. I am an engineer by profession, husband to my wonderful wife Shaila, and recent father to my 6-month-old lovely daughter, Shreya. I am an Internet entrepreneur, #MORE#marketing coach & mentor rolled into one, with business partners around the world.
I am originally from Haridwar in northern India. I moved to Boulder, Colorado where I completed my Masters in Electrical Engineering and worked as a senior engineer in Corporate America for over 5 years.
After starting and working as an Internet marketer with CCPRO I was able to walk away from my high six figure corporate career after just 15 months. I still remember the day I walked out of that “jail” - what a feeling it was! 18 months later I still pinch myself.
I often get the question "What does it really take to become a leader and have a successful home business?" Through my years in the Internet marketing world, I have been inspired to coach, mentor and empower many to step out of their comfort zone and realize their real potential. Here are a few insights I have received along the way and also my secret formula, which I used to accelerate my business from $187k in 2008 to over $334k in 2009, working half the hours:
1. Connect your income goals with your emotional goals. Ask yourself why you want to be successful in your business? What is your biggest emotional reason?
For instance, one of the reasons I want to make money is to own a beach facing home in California. When I dug deep in my heart and closed my eyes, the picture in my mind was of my gorgeous 1-year-old daughter with a cute smile on her face playing with her dolls in her pink bedroom in our beach house. I also saw the joy and happiness on my wife Shaila’s face and I immediately got connected. I realized it’s not the house or money I want, it’s the peace of mind, love and happiness in my family (which comes from financial stability) that I want. My wife and daughter’s smile and pride is what drives me everyday - not the extra $100,000 in my bank account. It’s when you connect your income goals to your emotional goals that you start playing this game like a professional.
2. Calculate the specific income you need to hit to achieve your emotional goal. For instance, $50,000 per month net income will get me the beach house with a pink bedroom for my daughter. To achieve $50,000, I calculated how many product sales and then how many leads I would need to generate that income. In my case, I need 80 leads per day.
3. Become a master at your trade. Even if you master just one paid and one low cost marketing strategy, you will be able to hit your lead goal within 60 – 90 days when you are laser focused.
4. Work ON the business not IN the business. It’s my opinion this is why 90% of the new Internet marketers fail. It may sound too good to be true, but building an online business doesn't have to be hard but too many people try to do everything themselves. As a business owner, you understand how much work is wrapped up in all the details of running a business and how much time it takes to get all those things done. I remember feeling stuck myself in this vicious cycle a few months back, driving myself in the ground and about ready to give up.
This is when I started employing the power of business automation and virtual employees. Notice, I didn't hire someone for $15/hour or go to a source like Elance and find an independent contractor or temp - I outsourced with "virtual employees" from the Philippines (my personal preference).
Don't get me wrong ... this is not a magic bullet to have someone else take over your business. The solution is to outsource specific duties in order to live the Internet business lifestyle you've always dreamed of. Many of the ways to make money online can easily be outsourced and there's no reason to take the time to learn every skill if someone can easily do it for you for pennies on the dollar.
So here is my personal formula for massive success with your CCPRO business:
-
Connect your income goals with your emotional goals
-
Calculate specific lead and sales goals you need
-
Master at least one marketing strategy in the next 60 – 90 days
-
Hire virtual employees and put your business 90% on autopilot
-
Review your business every 60 days, fine tune the moving parts and spend your time on building relationships on the phone or training your team.
I sincerely hope you take action of the steps I shared and are able to live your dream lifestyle as a successful Internet entrepreneur.
See you at the top!

Bill Tannar (June 2010)
New York, United States
L1 Leadership Level
Prior to getting started with CarbonCopyPRO I’d spent nearly 5 years (3 of them full-time!) trying to “figure out” this Internet game. We finally found the perfect relationship of product and system with PRO and, after only 3 months here, we have totally turned our entire financial situation around. Absolutely amazing!
A little bit about me … I’m the son of a motorcycle mechanic and never had a lot growing up. After barely completing a 2-year business degree in school in San Diego I found myself back in New York #MORE#selling office equipment – copiers and fax machines – door to door. Within 2 years I was married, had a new daughter and I was making about $125,000 a year in commissions alone selling office equipment. Eventually I wound up with a Konica Minolta dealership and my wife and I built up a pretty big business with the trucks and employees, etc. but the big money I’d made in the past just wasn’t happening.
As that business began to sink I turned to the Internet. While we’d had some big successes in the past and made some big bucks online it seemed every time I turned around the economy would hit my industry of choice hard and the money would just dry up. We were, literally, at the end of our rope when we found PRO and knew it was our last hope … our last chance … of making it online.
And here we are! This is it everyone. This is where you should all want to be. Finally the head of the dragon. My best advice right out of the gates to everyone in the community: “work your tail off … then get back to work!” Trust me, the rewards are so worth it.
I want to personally thank Jay and Aaron for creating this marketing platform and education. To my wife Lisa (who knew I’d drive 22 hours across the country only to marry the girl 2 lockers away from me in high school?) and three babies - Leigh Anne, Luke and Jake – thank you for putting up with all my “basement time” while I’m getting our business up and going. You are my “why”! Thanks, also, to Frank Scott, JJ, and everyone else who made this opportunity, right here and right now, available to me.
We still have a huge mountain in front of us, but guess what? I will never surrender. That mountain will be hard to climb again and again but we know we can do it because it’s been climbed before. That’s the best part of knowing I’m on a winning team – CarbonCopyPRO makes it so simple. Even when it’s “hard”!
CarbonCopyPRO is, without question, the absolute best place to be no matter where you’re at in the Internet marketing game. If you’re brand new you can stop searching right now and focus only on PRO. For all you “big cheeses” out there I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know … we could never get the job done without the support and expertise of this company, community and system behind us.
Go for it guys! Never give up and never surrender! #LESS_TAG#

Dr. Charlie Smithdeal (May 2010)
Florida, United States
L1 Leadership Level
I don’t know about you, but when a good ole Texas boy about 6’7” tall and weighing in at 250+ lbs. asks me to do something, I generally do my best to accommodate him. You see, I lived in Texas for a while and I understand how things work there. So when I got a message today to call John Jackson I picked up the phone pronto and began pressing numbers.
If you’ve ever met JJ - or heard his inspirational messages on the daily CCPRO “Wakeup Calls” - you already know that he is a kind soul whose heart is far bigger than his considerable physical presence. That enormous heart and soul are, in my humble opinion, why JJ is such a perfect representative for CarbonCopyPRO.
Whenever someone questions me about this “strange new Internet thing” that I’m doing, I often tell them about my first conversation with my sponsor, Jeff Learner. #MORE#I’d put in my application (bless you, Jay and Aaron for insisting on the application process … pure genius). I’d watched Jay’s video and already decided to purchase my Black Box but wanted a slight assurance that I wasn’t throwing my money down some mysterious Internet black hole as our funds were quite limited at the time and I hadn’t told my wife exactly what I planned to do. So I called Jeff. After a brief conversation, I felt reassured that he and others I had seen on the CCPRO videos were legitimate business people. I recall saying, “If this is a scam, Jeff, it’s the best I’ve ever seen. So I’m going to move forward and invest in it and find out.” Jeff replied, “Dr. Charlie, I intend to remind you in about 6 months of what you just said. And I’ll be eager to hear your own opinion after you meet Jay and Aaron and some of the other folks in our community.”
Well, Jeff, it’s six months later and I’ve met Jay and Aaron. And JJ and Michael and Gregg and Andrew and Charlie and Juan and James and … so many others. So here’s my opinion today: Jay Kubassek and Aaron Parkinson put together the most brilliant educational platform and system for Internet Marketing that the world has ever known. Even more important, because they personally are genuine, caring men of integrity and high moral values, they attracted their own kind. The result is that I am honored and proud to be associated with the people who make up our CarbonCopyPRO community. I have never known or worked with a more honorable, intelligent, creative, supportive, or fun-loving group of entrepreneurs.
I was raised to believe that there are no accidents in life. I also believe that whenever two strangers meet, one or both of them is meant to learn something valuable from the other. I feel very fortunate that my wife and I were forced by a collapsing real-estate market in Florida to discover the CarbonCopyPRO community.
My personal story is that I had a very successful career as a physician and surgeon. Born in a small town in the mountains of East Tennessee, I was blessed with parents who taught me that I could do anything I wanted in life as long as I was willing to put forth the necessary effort. I worked very hard to learn my craft and to practice it as well as I possibly could. I eventually trained in New York City. I practiced quite successfully in Atlanta, GA and then in Los Angeles, CA. I’ve also written four successful novels (medical thrillers - two under my real name, two using a nom-de-plume while still in practice).
My wife and I raised and showed championship miniature horses for several years. We did well enough financially to retire early, so we moved to Florida and invested our savings in real estate. Ten years later, when the market collapsed, we lost nearly everything we’d worked for all those years. While desperately searching the Internet one day for some way to earn an honest and significant income at my tender age of 73 - I was guided to a tiny ad that changed our lives. It was no accident that I found CarbonCopyPRO. We have never looked back.
Following that initial conversation with Jeff I purchased my BIB and dug into and dissected the back office like any good surgeon - or anyone else who is searching for a way to survive financially - would. I watched every video and listened to every archived call at least once. I attended every live training call and webinar that I could find. I bugged Jeff with questions. I did exactly what I currently tell members of my team to do: carbon copy our leaders - the ones who’ve already figured out how to make this system work. I figured that I shouldn’t try to “improve” a system until I had mastered the one that was already working. Or, as a good ole boy from Texas might say, “If it ain’t broke, Doc, don’t fix it.” That philosophy worked well for me when I was a surgeon. It works equally well now that I’m a successful Internet Marketer.
I thank the CarbonCopyPRO community for recognizing my efforts by inviting me to be their Spotlight Member for May 2010. I am deeply honored. I feel blessed to be a part of this marvelous community. Thank each of you for being there for my wife Deb and for me. We intend to give back and to pass forward what we’ve received from you. We met six months ago as strangers - and I have learned more from you than I ever expected. I pray that others in our community will learn something valuable from me as well.
God Bless. #LESS_TAG#

Frank Scott (April 2010)
New Jersey, United States
L2 Leadership Level
So, here’s the setting: I’m in a shuttle on my way to the airport for the MME in Boca and I get the call from JJ telling me I’m being featured as the “Spotlight Member” for April! Calm, cool and collected (at least I think I was) I thank him and hang up only to let out a Texas “Yee Haa!” to the shock of the people on the shuttle.#MORE#
What an honor and privilege to be chosen amongst all of the incredibly dedicated entrepreneurs in this community. I am truly humbled. Being selected as “Spotlight Member” has been on my goal list since joining PRO, and now it’s yet another that I can check off.
Getting here though, was an entirely different story. I was a Detective/SWAT Cop often working 80+ hours a week and looking for something a little out of the box from chasing down bad guys. The beginning was a huge struggle, bouncing from one program, education and system to another - trying to get something to click - and then I found PRO and boy did it click. I immediately immersed myself in the community and training, consuming everything I could. I felt as if I had found a home where I was encouraged to not just get by, but to get to the top and achieve more than I ever imagined I could.
I am incredibly fortunate to have the support of my awesome wife Audrey and my two children, Frankie and Scianna. They are the reason I am here - my big reason why - and without their support I would never have had the opportunity to change.
But rather than give you more on me, I think it’s more important to use this opportunity to encourage those of you who are just getting started and still pursuing that first lead, that first application or that first BiB sale. Working two jobs with a family I just followed the system, plugged in and let it rip. In less than 7 months I made it to L2, attended the “Ten for Ten” and now I’m the “Spotlight Member” of the month. 7 Months!
Just a bit on the “Ten for Ten”, you MUST get there, no matter what it takes. No exceptions. It will change you and your business. That, in my opinion, should be your #1 goal. Get there and the rest will fall into place.
I’m really no different than any of you. Yes, you may have big hurdles, but we all have them. If you just follow the plan, focus on your goals and take massive and consistent action YOU can, and will, be here too.
Jay and Aaron, THANK YOU for putting together an amazing and powerful community where the common man can realize uncommon results. JJ and the MMG, thank you for your tireless training and dedication to the members of this community.
This is just the beginning of an incredible journey. I am eagerly looking forward to the rest of this ride and someday soon joining the ranks of the L4 leaders and MMG. #LESS_TAG#

Mark Coccio (March 2010)
L4 PRO Leadership
Holden, MA
“Wow, Thanks”: were the words I used
when I was asked to be the Spotlight Member for March.
I am truly honored for this recognition. I have been with CarbonCopyPRO since the initial launch in October 2007,
and wow what a ride it has been! I have been recognized by
CarbonCopyPro in numerous ways, but this is just such a great honor.#MORE#
My story
is similar to so many. I was a struggling
law enforcement officer who was looking for a better way. Working 60-80 hours a week in a fulltime
job, commuting an hour each way to and from work, and also had a part
time job on weekends. My wife Ronda was and is, a stay-at- home
Mom to our children Gabi and Niko. I had no experience in Internet
marketing at all and no idea what or how I was going to get it all done.
Putting this all together and getting
going with CarbonCopyPRO has been a lifesaver for me. The training
and resources that are available to us here are second to none.
The system is set up and designed so that the average (By the way if
you are here reading this, you are FAR above average) person can come
in here and get the education that they require to be a professional
marketer, both online and off. The motto for CarbonCopyPRO has
become “Teaching anybody, to market anything, to anyone, anywhere”
and this could not be more the truth.
CarbonCopyPRO has the best leadership
and management team in this industry. We also have the best group
of marketers anywhere who are more than willing to come out on the many
training calls and share their methods and what they are doing to be
so successful. I am a member of the MMG (Millionaire Mastermind
Group) which is small leadership board here in CarbonCopyPRO, and what
a great group it is. I have begun to take on some additional roles
in the CarbonCopyPRO community as well and love every chance I have
to Give Back…….That is what it is all about.
Thanks to Jay and Aaron for their vision
to create this amazing community and to continue to put in the resources
to see it grow. Thanks to John “JJ” Jackson for his leadership
here, I have been friends with JJ for a long time, but honestly have
never felt closer to him, he is a true Gentle Giant, with a Huge heart,
that simply has the desire to assist people and I have be so lucky to
have him on my team.
By the way, they are the reason I am
here. Take a look at the picture here. This is what I enjoy
doing is spending time with my family and I did not have that opportunity
in my old way of life. #LESS_TAG#

Charles Montgomery (January 2010)
L1 PRO Leadership
The Villages, FL
Being recognized as a Spotlight Member at CarbonCopyPRO is a considerable honor. While we say that
we are motivated by a better life and financial freedom, there is no greater feeling than being
recognized for ones efforts by the community that they are part of.#MORE#
As an Army brat, I have travelled all over the world. My early teen years were spent in Ayer,
Massachusetts. As a graduate of Boston Conservatory of Music I found my first teaching job in New
Hampshire where I spent six years before finally realizing that was not going to provide enough for my
family. I moved on to educational sales and worked with schools helping them raise funds. I eventually
retired from QSP, a subsidiary of the Reader's Digest after a 21 year career there.
My retirement was not of my choice and came as a total surprise to me. I was devastated as I pondered
how I would find a way to provide for my family and maintain my lifestyle and retirement plans. Just like
all of you, I stumbled upon an ad that led me to none other than Gregg Davison. A stroke of luck for me
and the setup for a situation that would change my life. Gregg took the time to get to know me and
helped put together a plan for my future success. His primary piece of advice was just "Follow The
Leader". As a corporate sales manager that had always been the leader, it was a tremendous challenge
to be the follower. Let me tell you something, "It Works!" Within four months, I had equaled the monthly
income from my corporate job that took me 32 years to build. Incredible. I now I enjoy every day of
freedom from the job that once owned me. I still work hard on the things I want to work on but my day
to day lifestyle has changed dramatically.
I enjoy my role of helping people with Twitter and other opportunities I get to do training. As John
Jackson says every day, giving is an unbelievable source of motivation for one's self. Have you noticed
that every person at the top spends a tremendous amount of time giving to others. Most of their stories
of past to present are hard to believe yet they give and give and give. If you want to be a leader you
must first learn to give. People coming to me in Vegas telling me that I had made a difference in their
lives was unreal. Thanks to all of you that gave me that fantastic gift.
Being successful at CarbonCopyPRO can be measured in many ways. I
guarantee no matter what you use for a measuring stick it will require
hard work and dedication. While you do need a little luck, I am
always amazed how the most successful people in the world are also very
hard workers and seem to
have a lot of luck! Trust me, it isn't luck. Michael Force says it
best when he makes sure that everyone
knows, there is nothing in the water, no magic pills, no clever little
things you can buy. Just solid
performance!
I want to make sure that I acknowledge Juan Walker. Juan and I were
put together as a team by Gregg
Davison. We mentor and push each other every day and his leadership and
education has been an
immense influence on my CarbonCopyPRO life. If you want to be at the
top, surround yourself with great people
like Gregg Davison, Juan Walker, Aaron and Jay, and just go to work and
"Follow The Leader" Thanks to the community for a great honor.

Juan Walker (December 2009)
L2 PRO Leadership
Milton, FL
My wife Brandee and I are
extremely excited and honored to be the CarbonCopyPRO Spotlight Members
of the Month. We would like to first thank all of the
leaders in this community as well as our mentor Gregg Davison, for
their continued
support and commitment. We wouldn’t
have accomplished so much in six months without it.#MORE#
Our backgrounds were mostly in traditional business, with my
wife being a Realtor and I co-owning a printing and publishing company. We were both very successful in those
arenas until January of 2009, when the downturn in the economy hit our area
hard. It left us with minimal
monthly income coming in (barely enough to pay our mortgage), carrying over
$60,000 of debt, and a huge sense of frustration and disbelief.
With nowhere else to turn, we decided to jump back on the
internet. I was no stranger to
internet marketing and network marketing, as I had been dabbling in it since
2002. I had achieved a little bit
of success in the past, but not enough to make it profitable long-term. So when we found CarbonCopyPRO in late
April, we were absolutely floored at the potential and how comprehensive it was.
We immediately went into student mode and plugged into the
system. For almost an entire
month, we listened to every conference call and webinar, digested all of the
marketing training, and got all of our marketing systems set up. When we finally started marketing the
beginning of our second month, we hit the ground running fast. By the end of our third month, we achieved
complete profitability and we have been relentless in continuing to build our
business since then.
In September of this year, we were invited to the “10 for
10” Seminar. It was an eye opening
two days of intensive marketing training that made ALL of the difference! I walked away from there with all
the missing keys to becoming a long-term top earner in this industry. So get yourself to L1 as quickly as
possible, so you can also experience that for yourself.
We really had a hard time putting into words how privileged
we are to have found CarbonCopyPRO. It has helped us to not only make money and create a successful online
business, but to touch the lives of many people around the world. It is also helping us each day to reach
our potential as leaders and make a difference one person at a time.
So again we thank everyone involved here at CarbonCopyPRO
for providing us with the opportunity to create a brand new lifestyle. Without us finding this online
community of dedicated and caring individuals, we have no idea how bad our
situation could have gotten. We are blessed to know today that we don’t even have
to give it a second thought.

Brian Magnosi (October 2009)
L1 PRO Leadership
Lansing, NY
My wife Ines and I are honored to be the CarbonCopyPRO
Spotlight Members of the month! Wow, what an amazing ride we’ve had in just our
first 2 and a half months into our business. Clearly, we have a deep sense of
gratitude to our sponsors Jeff and Laura Learner as well as the entire
community of leaders calling CarbonCopyPRO home.
Our background has been in corporate America over the last
11 years. I spent most of those years in Pharmaceuticals and my wife in the
hotel industry. After several failed offline business ventures #MORE# and
unfortunately tens of thousands of dollars later, we realized there had to be a
better way to break free from the “Golden Handcuffs” of the corporate world.
We eventually turned to the Internet and found CarbonCopyPRO.
Sometime later, after a series of trial and error efforts with other companies
and products we realized that all roads led to CarbonCopyPRO. For us, it was
either PRO or nothing.
We jumped in with both feet and hit the ground running, and
had twenty three leads our first day along with our first application! Now,
over one hundred plus applications later and dozens of new members on our team
we are humbled by the excellence of this community and the power of this
system. We see our steps being ordered for great things to come and bold dreams
to be accomplished in the months and years ahead.
While we are only just beginning, we must give thanks where
thanks are do, first to Him who called us to this great journey to begin with,
and again to Jeff and Laura for being so genuine about what it takes to succeed
here, and finally to Jay and Aaron for having the courage and strength to
create something so powerful and unique for all. #LESS_TAG#

Lena Bjorna (September 2009)
L4 PRO Leadership
Los Angeles, CA
Being recognized as the Spotlight Member for September 2009 is
quite an honor! Thank you very much to all of you in the leadership: I
couldn’t have gotten to where I am today without all the incredible
tools, training and support that you continue to provide us with.
A few words about my
background: I grew up in a small town in northern Norway, above the
Arctic Circle, but always had this burning desire to leave my country
and everything that was safe and familiar, travel the world, and
explore all that life had to offer.#MORE# (Back in my hometown everyone
thought I was a little weird, as you can well imagine!)
At 22 I moved to California
to study acting and to fulfill my life-long dream of working in
Hollywood. Although I loved life on set and was able to make a decent
living for myself in film and TV, I always felt like there was
something else I was supposed to do, something more. Finally, a decade
later and after some misadventures in traditional MLM, I stumbled upon
PRO in the spring of 2008. And with that began an entirely new chapter
in my life.
Whenever I’m asked about the
secret to getting results in online marketing, my answer is always that
there IS no secret. Results come from hard work. From patience and
persistence. From staying the course, continuously honing your skills,
always keeping a great attitude and choosing to grow in the face of
adversity, celebrating every progress be it ever so small, living each
day with gratitude, developing a passion for your craft and a vision of
what you want to do with your life beyond just “making money”. Never
ever, ever entertaining the thought of giving up. And whenever you’re
at the end of your rope, you tie a knot and you hang on.
Someone said that “success
is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out”, and I think
that perfectly describes my journey.
I also believe that the
truly great results won’t come until you learn to take the focus off of
yourself and start being more concerned about how you can best serve
others. Do that and you will never run out of customers…guaranteed!
Thank you once again for the
recognition! I look forward to seeing each and every one of you, all my
incredible team members, and the rest of the CarbonCopyPRO community at
the marketing event in Las Vegas this November... In fact, I can’t wait! #LESS_TAG#

Justin Woolf & Anthony Busciglio (August 2009)
Hasbrouck Heights, NJ
We are honored and privileged to be CarbonCopyPRO’s Spotlight
Members of the Month. The community has been extremely supportive,
enabling Anthony and I to reach this level of success in our business in only 15 weeks.
Anthony and I both attended Ramapo College of New
Jersey. Soon after graduation, our careers began in New York City in
the mortgage business. We were commuting 3 hours every day from New
Jersey, committed to the daily grind. After two years of working in New
York City, we decided to open our own mortgage business closer to home.
Soon we had
over 40 employees working for the company. We thought we had it all. We
were young, driven, and successful entrepreneurs with a thriving
business. Life couldn't be better.#MORE#
Next thing we knew, it all started falling apart.
In
the middle of 2007, the mortgage business began to crumble. The real
estate and the mortgage banking industry got hit the hardest, thus
making it the first sector to deteriorate in the face of a recession.
In an attempt to diversify our income streams, Anthony borrowed 200k to
open a franchise of a private jet charter company. We were working
harder than ever trying to survive. Within 12 months, the private jet
industry got hit by the recession as well. The lifestyle we once had
seemed unattainable. We had created a comfortable life for our
families, but were unable to keep up with it. I personally felt my
back was up against the wall, facing bankruptcy and foreclosure.
Anthony had just gotten married and was expecting his first newborn. We
knew something had to give. Something had to change.
During this time of uncertainty, Anthony and I decided to close down
the mortgage business, hold on to what was left of our assets and begin
a mission to recreate our financial futures in the home based business
industry. At first, we decided to sink our teeth in the multi level
marketing industry. We soon realized the mlm industry has an enormous
failure rate. The few mlm businesses we began to grow halted at a
standstill, literally. As we were searching for the answer online, we
ran into CarbonCopyPRO and the rest is history.
From the very beginning, we told our sponsor Andrew J. Cass, that we
are 100% committed and dedicated to being leaders in this community.
After plugging into the system and learning the skills needed to grow
our business effectively, we are right on track meeting our goals. We
are anxious and looking forward to giving back to those on the same
path of success. We would like to personally extend our gratitude to
the WMI and CarbonCopyPRO community and respective leaders for the
knowledge, support, and system provided, enabling us to reach this
level of success. #LESS_TAG#

Cameron & Tanya Outridge (July 2009)
Leadership Level - L2
Let us begin by saying we are extremely proud to be part of the PRO community, and thrilled to be recognized in this way.
We started our entrepreneurial journey with a “brick and mortar”
business in 1997, when we bought a community newspaper in a small town
called Maleny, on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland in Australia. With a
one-year-old baby in tow, we actually mortgaged our house to buy our
business! Most people around us thought we were insane to make this
decision (in hindsight we were indeed), but we were determined to make
our own way. #MORE#
We toiled building our business over ten long years. Staff employment
was just one in an on going series of stressful business hurdles. At
the end of 2006, we sold our business to a large media company, APN
Australian Publishing, and agreed to manage the newspaper on their
behalf through the transition. After this long experience we vowed, we
wanted to be self-employed.
At the beginning of 2008, we made the leap into a well-known MLM.
Excited at the thought of growing a lucrative business from home, the
autonomy, escaping all the trappings of our old business.
Unfortunately, we found that our experience was similar to that of so
many people in traditional MLM and network marketing. Disappointment.
We made the decision to walk away from it fairly
quickly, disenchanted by the ineffective “old school” marketing
methods, the impersonal “churn and burn” attitude we were being taught
by the seemingly successful people in the company. We always believed
that the mark of good business should be a win-win situation for
everyone involved.
At the beginning of November 2008, we found PRO, and we were so
impressed by what we saw that we joined straight away. We can say we
sincerely feel incredibly privileged to be part of these communities.
We attended our first PRO Marketing Day in March this year.
Personally meeting Aaron Parkinson and Jay Kubassek only strengthened
our conviction that this was, without a doubt, the place to be in the
network marketing industry (and as an added bonus, we won a trip to the
Cayman Islands - thanks Aaron and Liz!)
The ethics, integrity and commitment to education personified by
these people inspire us everyday. We can see the potential to achieve
whatever we desire unfolding in front of us, and what truly makes this
realization even more exciting, is the knowledge that we can help other
people to achieve the goals they want as well. #LESS_TAG#

Greg McMahon (June 2009)
Leadership Level L3
I am humbled and honored to be recognized as the CarbonCopyPRO SPOTLIGHT Member for June 2009, and can really only attribute it to a couple of things. First of all, there is no doubt that the Marketing System that Jay and Aaron have designed and continue to refine is the best available today. Secondly, although I may not be the fastest study, I am absolutely committed to becoming the best leader I can be, which has enabled me to also make some pretty amazing money. Failure simply is not an option when you are relentless.#MORE#
I spent more than a decade of my life working 60+ hours a week in Corporate America until I finally realized this was not the direction I wanted to keep moving in. Although I knew nothing about running a business on the Internet, I knew that this was the answer for me to gain control of my time. I knew there were people who were doing it, and they were living a lifestyle of complete time freedom. I knew that this is what I wanted for myself and my family.
Now CarbonCopyPRO launched after I had already made the decision to pursue my own business. Shortly after PRO’s launch in October of 2007, I realized that I needed to be a part of this amazing new Marketing System. My business went to a new level shortly thereafter and I was able to be far more efficient in building my business as so many of the aspects I had to deal with prior to PRO were now fully automated. Now, I could really devote my time to learning new marketing skills, implementing these skills, and having conversations with the high level applicants that I was attracting to my business.
I have continually worked on personal growth, and have followed the paths of the successful leaders that have gone before me. There was never a question in my mind as to whether or not I had made the right decision to get started, and I never focused on when my first sale would come. I knew it would, and it did. In fact, the sales have continued to come month in and month out.
When I got started a little more than 2 years ago it was like landing on the shores of a New World. I quickly decided to burn my ship. Turning back to my previous lifestyle was not an option. I desired a lifestyle of complete time freedom. Today is only the beginning. I have so much more to accomplish. The bar has been raised. The next step is to attain an L4 Leadership Level so that I can be considered for the MMG.
Again, I am humbled and honored to receive this recognition. Thanks to all of you that have offered guidance along my journey. The journey continues. #LESS_TAG#

Jeff Lerner (April 2009)
Master Marketing Award Winner
In October 2008 the sky was falling for Laura and I. In the year prior I had bought into a franchise restaurant concept in Houston, TX. Saddled with debt, I was trying to make a go of the wrong restaurant idea in the wrong city in a crumbling economy. Everything bad you could imagine about a brick-and-mortar business I was dealing with. Utilities, rent, exorbitant insurance, flaky employees, rising costs, whiny customers, etc. It was truly a franchise horror story that ended with a closed store, a quarter million dollars in personal debt, and 4 1/2 years left on a 5 year lease.#MORE#
That was 7 months ago (October 2008). Now Laura and I are professional internet entrepreneurs who make more in a month than I used to make in a year. What a turnaround! What a gift!
So how do we explain it? The answer has very little to do with us, and a lot to do with CarbonCopyPRO. What Jay and Aaron have created here is so much more than an online marketing system with a product partnership. They have created hope. They have pulled possibility out of the air and made it reality. The possibility of an ex-jazz musician who failed at opening a restaurant emerging not only intact but on his way to being a millionaire. That is a possibility that CarbonCopyPRO has made real. The possibility of a community of personal trainers, ex-military, actors, translators, muffler salesmen, bouncers, policemen, computer technicians, and people from all walks of life coming together to make amazing amounts of money and transform lives. That is more of what PRO makes real on a daily basis. If it weren’t so real, it would be magic.
Every single step of this incredible journey has been such a privilege, from receiving our first training from our fantastic coach, Michael Force, through the joys of seeing our first profits come in, to becoming a leader in this community. Recognition only motivates us to redouble our efforts. Our success thus far has been a direct result of being coachable, passionate, and hungry. Every month we recommit ourselves to humility, passion, and hunger and it is our hope that our story can encourage others to follow suit. There is so much room for so many success stories at PRO. We are grateful to be one of them and thank you for the foresight and the ingenuity to create all of this.
For those of us who make it our daily bread it is a fine feast. #LESS_TAG#

Aaron & Sophia Rashkin (February 2009)
Leadership Level L4
We were no strangers to Network Marketing when we first ran across
CarbonCopyPRO. Problem was that we learned how to build our business
from Old School Up-line companies who taught us how to make our list,
pitch family & friends and cold call thousands of leads per month.#MORE#
We even did over 40 home parties for our team last year, while
Sophia was pregnant with our 2nd child. Even with a large organization,
we were not making the type of income that we had imagined.
Well, enter CarbonCopyPRO this past summer and now, all that has
changed. We bought our App, ordered the BiB and started marketing. We flew to Las Vegas just days later, mainly to pick the brains of all the top
leaders and income earners. Upon returning home we
went to work, doing exactly what CarbonCopyPRO taught us. We truly
became students of the business and internet marketing and as a result,
we earned $5,700 in our 2nd month, $11,300 in our 4th month and as of
half way through January, we are already over $15,000 in income on our
way our first 30K month!
We are living proof that you can teach a couple of old dogs, some new tricks! #LESS_TAG#

I’m writing this from the balcony of my beachfront apartment in the Cayman islands, Overlooking a private beach with the waves of Caribbean sea lapping at the shore about 30 feet away!#MORE#
What an incredible 6 months it’s been. To say my life has changed is the understatement of the century. In May, just before I joined CarbonCopyPRO, I was living in my mother’s spare room in freezing, wet Northern England. Fighting hard to save another failing business, I was so broke my bills had bills. I thought bankruptcy was my only option!
Then I found CarbonCopyPRO. I was so confident that this was my ticket to freedom, that I borrowed the money from my girlfriend to get started. With a combination of hard work, a little luck and doing EVERY free marketing strategy I could think of, I generated 1600 leads and made just over $10,000 in my first month. With a story I could take to the bank, I knew I was on my way
Now my mission is to expose the truth to every Network Marketer on this planet. There is a business that has it all, and you really can create a life changing income in your first 12 months. Forget the nonsense they’ve been feeding you at the MLM meetings about that 3-5 year plan. It doesn’t have to take that long!
People are always asking me my “secrets to success”. I’m sure I’ll write a book one day, but here are my top tips:
1) Work harder on yourself than you do on your business - Jim Rohn taught me that when I first became an entrepreneur. YOU are your business, and YOU must understand that you are marketing YOU Inc. because people buy into your leadership before they buy anything else. I spend 1 hour each morning reading books like “think & grow rich” and “21 indispensable qualities of a leader” as well as constantly improving my marketing knowledge. Who you think you are is what you market on Google, YouTube and everywhere else on the net
Mike Dillard summed it up perfectly when he said to become successful and make a lot of money in this industry “You must increase your personal value to the World”
2) Be a Rhino, not a Cow! “Cows are 2 thousand pound animals that do little but eat grass, they sleep in their own dung and are scared of lightening. Rhinos are 2 tonne beasts, with 2 inch thick skin. They chase away elephants, rumble the jungle and fear NOTHING!
Believe in yourself and that you can achieve anything you set your mind to and believe that you ARE the unstoppable force and EVERY obstacle will yield!
3) Learn From The Top Producers – And stop listening to those who are not making it! From my first day, I listened to every training call in the PRO training section. I treat my education like I am doing a masters degree. I take notes and review those notes daily. My ego never lets me think I am too good to stop learning from others. The recipe for success is simple. You watch what the top producers do, listen to what they say and do the things they do, whether it makes sense to you or not.
4) Treat Your Business Like a Business – If you treat it like a hobby, it will pay you like a hobby. Treat it like a million dollar enterprise and that’s what it will pay you. I plan my weeks, plan my days and set my targets like my life depends on it. Pretend that you have a $250k/Year job and you will get fired if you don’t make the grade!
5) Play Big or go Home – Aaron Parkinson taught me this one. I could have easily started out small and played the “I’ll see how it works out” game, but I knew I would never make any serious money, so I made something out of nothing and found enough to play hard.
6) Be at every event – Every time I come back from an Event I make more money and it’s because hanging around millionaires shows you how to become one. There’s a magical millionaire fairy dust that rubs off on you and you cant get this from conference calls or webinars! Your Net worth is determined by your Network.
2009 is going to be a year of record breaking 6 figure months, but most importantly to me, seeing my team duplicate my success. I always knew I would be one of those 100 millionaires, now it’s just a question of how many more millionaires I can help to create
See you at the top!
