I too join in, in this “alas, where are the ladies?” chorus. Cannot let the side down ladies. Let us get there next year.

I don’t know Yaro, but whenever I see any of these profiles, the word scam comes to my mind. But since you are talking about them, I am starting to wonder if there is value in them.

Yaro,

This is an awesome blog! How am I supposed to learn about blogs if
all I do is read yours. There is so much interesting stuff here, that I have
been reading and looking at everything for 3 going on 4 days now.

I really enjoyed the videos and I guess I really am learning quite a bit
about blogging aren’t I.

I can’t wait until I can actually buy your course I know that I will learn so
much since I really am a newbie at this.

Thanks for just being here so that I have someplace I can get a real
education on blogging. I see so many amateur sites that aren’t very
interesting and yours is a breath of fresh air.

As you said at the end of your about page having patience really is
a bitch.

Bye for now
Brenda

Pretty neat Yaro! Always good to see the realness of all these people we read about and follow. Congrats again on cracking the top 25. Quite an elite group to be in.

Part of the reason why ladies are not on the list is because they are happy making a buck, they don’t want to own the bank!

Cool, I’d love to make it to a live IM event one of these days.

I’ve personally met a couple of millionaires. Yea, amazingly they r much more approachable than many other so-called successful business or corporate people (who earns big but far fr bein a millionaire..)

I guess since they hv made it, they r not really out to prove themselves anymore. It’s usually time to “give back” for them. Try asking one for help on certai topic, i’m sure most of them wld b pretty willing, say, share a little of their wealth secrets.

Cheers everyone!

A millionaire is just another ordinary human being that has achieved financial success. There are successful women who are millionaires too (I am not talking about those that inherited the wealth, I mean those that started from scratch and built financial empires). Nice one.

Funny that , people are just people. Many successful friends of mine seem to be just very ordinary people . But some things they have in common are ;
Good sense of humor . Easy to approach .
Genuine caring attitude . Show they care about what you want to achieve .
Don’t over complicate their business workload . Leveraging very important .
Willing to share their knowledge .
Ken is one such friend , he made this video himself for his friends to learn from .

These videos are great! It’s like being a fly on the wall. I also love to put a face to the name. It makes you think differently about people sometimes when you’re reading their blogs or newsletters, or after you purchase their products.

I wouldn’t have known that was Brian from Copyblogger if it hadn’t been mentioned. He doesn’t look anything like his Twitter picture!

Yaro,

It’s fun to watch your video and read your post… great way to re-live the mastermind. It was a great time, and the event definitely exceeded all my hopes and expectations. It’s amazing when you put a bunch of Internet Marketers in a room – the time just flies by. We basically went from 1:00pm straight through to the end of dinner at about 11:00pm, and the conversation never slowed down one bit.

With regards to the lack of women at the event – I know MANY women who are very successful online. I celebrate their success, and love to mastermind with them. There are many women in my the formal mastermind groups that I am part of (in fact, one of those groups was founded by a woman.)

However, the invitations to this event were results-based… it was for my top JV partners. And at the end of the day, this time around there was only one woman among my top partners. Why that is, I don’t know… that’s just the way it was. Hopefully that will change in the near future…

Finally… Yaro, I’m really not too much of a wine drinker. But since Tom Ham was so into it and he picked out an uber-expensive bottle of wine I figured I should have a glass (especially since I was paying for it!).

Vito…LOL,
Interesting post, I know a couple of millionaires, they go to work, and come home to their kids, go to bed early and go to work in the morning again. Just like everyone else! They actually work harder sometimes than others, because they work for themselves.

Hey Yaro

I concur…

People are just people…I mean, what else would they be? LOL! Just kidding.

Seriously though, I found exactly the same thing. When I interviewed some of the world’s top internet marketers, I was just amazed at how approachable and down to earth they were.

They all struck me as people who know what they want, and who have taken massive action to get it too.

Glad to see a few familiar faces there at the event.

Talk to you soon!

Yaro,

$250 steak?! That food takes my whole month income online to buy

Anyway, you are right mentioning that millionaires are just like the peep next door – moreover, more and more millionaires does live like normal people these days – a-man-sitting-on-comfy-chair-with-Cuban-cigar image is already long gone… That image belongs only to Vito Corleone )

Cheers!

Hey Yaro — I really enjoyed this post – not only an interesting insight into the world of IM but also human nature as well.

Not sure why the men seem to be so dominant in the IM scene — maybe it has something to do with guys being a lot more geeky and into computers in their formative years?

“I learned a long time ago that people are just people, and while there are certainly types of people who wield a lot of power and influence, at their heart they are still people.”

I agree, too!

Yes ladies, there is definitely a skew in the IM world that needs fixing – big time. I for one would love to see more woman enter the top tier of affiliate standings and product launches, etc.

“I learned a long time ago that people are just people, and while there are certainly types of people who wield a lot of power and influence, at their heart they are still people.”

Yep, always worth remembering! Years ago I was an English teacher in Rome and got a nice little private contract with one of the leading lawyers of the city. He could read English without any problems, but when it came to SPEAKING he was so out of his element that he trembled. I think I learnt more from those lessons than he did!!

Yes, I noticed that as well Lisa!! Where are all the women internet marketers? Thanks Yaro for the ‘insider’ view of this elite group. It makes me even more determined that, one day ……
