January 29, 2009 by Jonathan Fields · Comments Off 

They’re arguably the largest most successful internet marketing training company on the planet. They landed 2,000 customers and about $20 million in sales…in their first day in business. We’re talking about StomperNet.com. They’re actually in the middle of a giant launch of their newest training, FormulaFIVE, right now. And, most people associate two individuals, Andy Jenkins and Brad Fallon, as the public face of StompNet.

But, many are now discovering that there’s been a third powerhouse individual who’s been there from the start and has been instrumental in the launch and explosive success of the business. His name is Tom Ham and he’s finally ready to emerge from behind the curtain to share some details about his own renegade journey and the role StomperNet has played in it.

Here are a few thoughts on the subject and actions to take to find your way out, from a snowy afternoon in NYC…

Renegade Profile: Brian Clark, Copyblogger, Teaching Sells

January 21, 2009 by Jonathan Fields · Comments Off 

Today’s Career Renegade Profile is a bit different…

I’ve joined up with Technorati Top 100 blogger, Brian Clark, founder of Copyblogger.com and TeachingSells.com. And, rather than diving into his own personal journey (which is actually pretty interesting, lawyer turned blogger/internet marketing mogul), we spent time exploring how people can turn a passion into a serious income through the vehicle of paid interactive learning environments.

Brian is at the forefront in this area, having created his Teaching Sells program, which uses the very format he promotes to teach you how to turn specialized knowledge (doesn’t even have to be yours) into a real, ongoing income stream online.

Conventional Wisdom: The Ultimate Dream Killer

January 6, 2009 by Jonathan Fields · 9 Comments 

Conventional wisdom is, by default, drawn out of the mass experience of people…

Mass-experience translates to commonality, to averages, to medians.  When you live your life based on conventional-wisdom, then, it stands to reason you can expect to live a conventional, average, middle-of-the-road life.

Question is—is that what you want?

Theodore Roosevelt wrote:

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
