Bobsled Run grad Karl Eberhardt posted this comment to one of my blog posts:

I have been at this “game” for 5.5yrs and have managed to create a successful enterprise online, replaced my Dibert Cube 6fig salary (yes I was a Engineer too). It was not easy and sure as hell didn’t come right away… and there have been MANY dark moments…there are still some and probably more down the road – this is a game of last man standing, the resilient and passionate will win.

I have invested SERIOUS dinero on training to get here. one of THE most valuable things I ever bought for less than $20 Perrys book on Adwords in 2009 and it took my adwords campaigns from being in the red to black and a positive ROI….for less than $20 without a doubt the biggest ROI on any training I ever invested in.

Recently I completed the Bobsled run and it was worth every penny of the $6K it was a financial stretch and the timing was not perfect – but it was something I wanted to do for last 2yrs. It was exactly what I needed and will figure big for my adwords and FB campaigns in 2014 and beyond.

I see people struggling to “make money online” but far and away the problem I see is that they are just trying to make money to “pay the bills” – that’s a noble but “lack-based” mentality. They don’t have passion for what it is they are doing…the underlying mission should be on transforming peoples lives in someway.

If you are not doing something you would gladly do for free…then you picked the wrong product or service. If you are not waking up every morning and thrilled to be doing what it is you are doing…you are doing the wrong thing…this is why you have not found success yet. Sure there are up days and down days that’s life.

all the business building training in the world can’t change whats floating around between your ears…that requires something different.

Find first your passion, your mission the “why am I doing this” – the money will follow.

Amen Bob! Thanks for speaking it like it really is.
