Good-bye Michigan

It seems like just yesterday I was moving to Michigan for "advancement opportunities" with EDS. Then my own business took off like a rocket and I left EDS to pursue my own self-created "advancement opportunities". Michigan is the furthest north I have ever been, and it's been interesting enduring the long winters followed by the 3-4 months of beautiful weather. But now with all my stuff packed in a POD and my essentials with me in the Rover I look forward to warmer times, interesting places and people, and whatever wonders the future holds for me. Look me up in Atlanta. Or Dallas. Or San Diego. Or ...? The Roving Marketer starts his journey today. Talk soon! Lee

The Biggest Marketing Secret I Know…

You may know I have been marketing online since about 1999, but you may not know some of the more intimate details. I want to share some of my story with you today, and also share the biggest marketing secret I know... Humble Beginnings I started my first business SoCo Solutions, LLC in 2001 and I scored my first BIG online success in late 2002 when the company enjoyed its first $5,000 day and its first 5-figure month. It was an incredible milestone for me and my new company. And it cemented my resolve to stop building businesses for other people and do my own thing, control my own life and destiny. A LOT has happened between that balmy November day in 2002 and now. Another important milestone for me was when I quit my very nice, cushy 6-figure corporate management job in 2007. Some people though I was CrAzY to quit a successful corporate career with such great pay, benefits, and growth potential. (Robin's dad even pulled me aside and asked me "what the hell am I thinking?").

People have also asked me "if you had a successful online business why did you still work for corporate for 5 years?" but that's a story for another time... I will say it's a matter of personal goals and dedication/perserverence to a personal challenge. (Ask me more when we meet in person).

When I met my goals at my job and left my corporate career in August 2007, I named my right-hand man my replacement (as promised), got him a BIG raise and "burned the ships behind me" so I could give my own business ALL my attention. The Turning Point The other cool thing about 2007 is that is the year I discovered the BIGGEST marketing secret I know - and in November of 2007 my company enjoyed it's first 6-figure month as a result! Then in 2008 we had our first 6-figure DAY.

(Kinda makes me NOT look crazy for walking away from that 6-figure per year j.o.b. now, huh?)

Anyway, you may be wondering... Why is that important to you? Well, before I learned this secret I was "Internet Pan-handling" just like you. And even though my company honestly was making good money online (hopefully you are too) it was pennies on the dollar compared to what happened almost immediately AFTER I learned this one little secret. And I want to share this secret with you, just like it was shared with me. If you're ready to receive it. If you're not ready to receive this gift, that's OK. I'll still be here when you are ready. :-) Why would I share this secret? Why not. It's not mine to keep. And honestly, I'm just paying it forward. Also, I gain nothing by keeping this a secret. But I'm not just going to blast it out to the masses. In honor of and respect for the gentleman who shared it with me I'm only sharing it with those who are ready to receive it. Plus, if I can help you make your own milestone (maybe your first real milestone) it's worth it to me for you to have it. Just Ask, and Its Yours The cool thing is -- it won't cost you a dime. Look, a lot has happened to me in the past 11 years, especially within the past year my life has changed tremendously. This one secret can make a significant positive change in your life, when you're ready to receive it. Do you want the biggest marketing secret I know? (Just say yes). Rock hard kick ass, Lee Collins Simply provide the information below and in 10-14 business days the biggest marketing secret I know will arrive in your mailbox in a sealed, white 9x12 envelope, along with an important personal note from me. I know you will love it, and you will benefit almost immediately - just like I did when it was shared with me "way back" in 2007.
