As an entrepreneur, I get this question quite often.

Especially in the Home Business circles or with Network Marketers.

I think the reason is simple, most people hate their jobs.

So when people decide to join the ranks of the 70%ers in the Network Marketing world, the first thing you here is fire your boss…

Or the college professors really didn’t tell you about the 70 hour work weeks for $70k per year did they?

I wrestled in college, and really didn’t have a clue as to what I wanted to be when I graduated High School.

Thank God I found my calling in Marketing and Sales… and graduated with a degree in marketing.

Have I used what I learned in college during this successful entrepreneur journey?

Very Little.

I always say, I received my bachelors in marketing from a college, but got my Ph.D in marketing in the trenches called “Real Life Experience”

I just read an article at Tim Ferriss’s Blog (Author of The 4-Hour Workweek), that inspired this blog post by me. Here is the article titled 8 Steps to Getting What You Want… Without Formal Credentials.

I have to warn you, it’s a long post, but really is something I would have my son or daughter read.

Talks a lot about the question I posed in the title.

It’s a great read, and I recommend it.

I also can’t help but think about the blog post that caused a huge stir on my Josh Peak Training Facebook Page, when I posted about the Pay Pal’s Co-Founder Peter Thiel offering $100k to a handful of college students for putting the brakes on college…

Thus choosing to be mentored by him. Here is that article titled Would you forgo college if offered $100k from a millionaire?

So I would like to hear from you, please leave a comment below.

Do you think the price tag of college education out ways the actual benefit?

Would you prefer to take the money paid for college education, and give it to a millionaire for mentoring… and a possible position with that millionaire?

Now… I know I am going to get the typical “but you have to have college to be come a lawyer, doctor, or other professions with hands on experience”.

I agree with that, but in today’s changing economy, does college really offer the tools to make it in the competitive environment… in the business world?

There is another argument that says, YES… if one goes to Harvard, Yale, University of Penn… then the contacts alone are worth the education.

I can agree with that!

Look forward to the discussion.

If you didn’t hear that I interviewed mega entrepreneur, and CEO Ryan Blair…

Well, you must have been hiding under a ROCK!

It was listened to by 1000′s across the globe, and has been downloaded over 9000+ times.

I will be interviewing a millionaire every week at Ask Josh Peak Radio.

Last week was Ryan Blair, and the week before that it was Lee Collins.

This week I will have another surprise.

If you didn’t get to listen live to the interviews, they are all recorded at Ask Josh Peak Radio

I have a few announcements to make this week.

I will be interviewing for a few spots.

Looking for a few people to mentor…

I am looking for people who are just hell bent on starting a business.

More on that later.

Hope your weekend was well, and will be announcing a few things here
pretty quick.

Josh

Ok, so tonight I am interviewing Ryan Blair, the author of the best seller “Everything to Gain Nothing to Lose”

The interview will be at 8pm CST/9pm EST via the Ask Josh Peak Radio Show

Ryan’s success sorry is just amazing.

If your looking at starting a business, or advancing your existing business…

This is a podcast you won’t want to miss.

That all depends on what your trying to accomplish.

I have been asked this question by a variety of people, from Online Marketers, to clients, and from some of my students.

The video below discusses which browser I use, and why!

Even shows how I use it.

The browser I use on my laptop is different than the one I use on my iPhone. I will be creating a video on that later.

Please leave a comment below, or if you have a question…don’t be afraid to post it.

It’s how we all learn… by great discussion!

Thanks,
Josh

Here is a short video tutorial I did today.

I created it in between meetings, and tried to keep it short and sweet.

I have been getting this question from lots of friends, potential clients, network marketing buddies, etc.

When folks find out you own an Online Advertising Agency and Media Company… and having great results… you become like an attorney. Everyone wants free advice. For me, I love to give back, as I have been given MUCH!!

Here is the question, “How do I find out what keywords get traffic, and how do I unmask my competition?” In other words, you want to be in front of the eyeballs, right? You want your website to be number one. But, if it’s not on the right keyword, or the keyword gets no traffic…it would be similar to having a billboard with your business on it… in the middle of rural Oklahoma on a country road…
No One SEES It!!

So here is the video, and below it are the links I mentioned that will help you out:

1) Google Keyword Tool, this shows you how much traffic keywords are getting on Google.

2) Youtube Keyword Tool, and this shows how much traffic keywords are getting on Youtube.

3) My Secret Tool (not anymore), for unmasking competitors online.

(Yes, #3 is an affiliate link, and if you buy it… I get paid. It is America, and capitalism is great… but we still have to put in disclaimers).

P.S.
If you have questions, please comment below. I love when folks add to the conversation.

Thanks,
Josh Peak

Interesting question, huh?

This question was posed to me in a Q and A session I did on Josh Peak Radio.

So I did a video, and would love your feedback.

Please leave a comment below, and tell me your thoughts.

What would you do if presented the opportunity?

Will be interesting to see what people write.

Happy Friday,

Josh Peak

Hey Friends,

Just wanted to create a blog post regarding a question that was sent to me.

I sent out an email to my subscriber base, stating that if there were any questions regarding
starting a new online business, or expanding one… then please flood me with them.

Well, that is exactly what happened.

I will start posting them each day, as I know there will be lots learned by doing this.

Below is the first question by Jackie L. from Pittsburgh PA.

Q: Hey Josh, loved your last podcast explaining the marketing funnel.

The marketing pillar part of the show was the most intriguing to me.

My question to you Josh is this: if you were to start tomorrow being a brand new marketer,
what one tool would you start out with to start driving traffic to your Internet sites?

A: Thanks Jackie for the question.

I am asked this quite often, as most entrepreneurs starting a business online usually are working on a tight budget.

So I have two answers to this question.

The first tool I would use is what I often refer to as my Secret Traffic Weapon.

This tool is called Traffic Geyser.

This tool has helped me gain so much traffic over the last few years…

I really couldn’t live without it.

Here is a keyword I rank #3 on, and the keyword is searched 9900 times per month.

I get leads from this position on autopilot every single month.

Jackie, I will tell you about my second tool tomorrow, and with it…

I usually get leads chasing me down within minutes.

Most things being taught online take weeks or months to see any type of results, and that is cool.

I know in business, there are things that are near, medium, and long range…

But you asked if I was getting started which tool would I use. So, there is half of the answer.

I hope this helps.

Feel free to comment on this post, as it creates great conversation.

Then a great learning experience is usually created.

Josh

I always start my morning off focusing on Scripture, and some type of study of
a very high level entrepreneur or athlete.

To me, if you want to jump levels, it’s important to either be around people
who are at a higher level… or studying virtually from them.

Here is a video from Art Williams that never gets old for me.

I can’t see this video ever going out of style.

In my next post, I will dissect this video, and create a study for you
on what this man is exactly saying.

It seems very simple, yet 99% of people who watch this video still
have trouble jumping levels.

Why?

I will talk about that tomorrow.

Here’s the video:

Jumping Levels,

So I have been asked, “Josh, how do you create so much content, in such a short amount of time”??

Some would think I have hired some writers, and for some of my sites… I have.

But for my main sites at Josh Peak and Ask Josh Peak I use a little service called Copytalk
(I will give you the contact information for this service at the end of this post).

Do I get an affiliate commission on this? No I don’t.

This is another service that I know will help bloggers, entrepreneurs, attorney’s, doctors,
and others become more efficient… time is dollars right?

What does this service do? And how do I use it?

It’s very simple, you dial into Copytalk, you talk…

Then hang up… they send a transcription of what was just verbally said by you… via email.

How cool is that?

Making blogging, Twitter, and Facebook content on the fly very easy.

It’s usually transcribed, and sent to your email within an hour or so.

If your interested in this service, I have a special contact with the company.

You can check it out at Copytalk then…

You will want to contact Linda Baxley
(866) 267-9825 ext 438
linda.baxley@copytalk.com

(But, make sure you tell her Josh Peak sent you).

You will be happy you did, as she will give you the “Josh Peak Pricing”.

I know this service will for sure help your life become more efficient.

It sure has made mine easier.

When I have a thought, and I have no notepad handy… I simply call Copytalk.

When I get home, I check my inbox… and boom… there are my thoughts all transcribed for me.

Usually, I would put this type of post in the Resources area of my blog, but I found this way to valuable… and made it one of my featured posts.

Do you get tired of having to dial in to conference calls with long pin numbers?

What if there was a service that just bridges it all together seamlessly, without having to dial long pin codes?

A service that integrates with Google Calendar?

You and the folks scheduled for the call simply put the phone numbers in, and then it syncs up with Google Calendar… then… it calls you!!

The service is called Bridg.me.

There is also a great article on it from TechCrunch.

Am I promoting this as an affiliate? NO

This is just something I know that can help you entrepreneurs save some time, and be more efficient.
