    Samuel here. I’m a BMI member since 2015 and I run a company called CRO Gurus – CROGurus.com. We do eCommerce optimization basically, so mainly to conversionary optimization right now, so what we do is we help them get more revenue and profits out of their existing visitors.
    When I joined BMI, I was just selling WordPress websites and cold calling architects, accountants, and doing that. It was very tiring, but I also got results from it. I got to a point where I knew nothing about sales and definitely knowing nothing about websites to a pretty good point where I was able to generate money from that and didn’t have to go to a job to get paid. I did for nine months, so until the end of 2015 where I then learned to generate an inbound funnel and generate inbound leads so I didn’t have to cold call anymore and that was really fun after a lot of rejection. It can get tiring.
    So, what we did then is just selling Shopify stores and overtime Shopify was getting big at that time, so that was a really good fit for me. Now, learned that very well and wanted to move over to the consulting side. So, people were asking me, “Okay, how do I “actually make a store that sells?” Okay, “what could we improve to increase the profits?” And that started to be a topic of a real passion for me.
    Eventually I just started doing that exclusively and now it’s working very well. I have a team of freelancers that I use for some specific functions and also to cover up where my own expertise is lacking a little bit and really enjoy running the company which is a very welcome thing after a few years of hard hustle. Yeah, always wanted to run a consulting company, but you can’t really start one randomly out of university. It takes a while to get direct trust of big clients, but we were able to gain that with some content marketing as well.
    Now, I have a YouTube channel that also BMI helped set up so we have some good content guaranteed that okay we already actually know our stuff We’re not just fooling around (muffled speaking). Yeah, we learned so much over the years, so we have mainly two things, sales and operations. So, you have each generation you have sales, you have operations. So, they’re really the points where your business is made or failed. BMI has been really helpful there,
    Before that, I didn’t know anything about how to run an online business. I was just completely clueless. You get taken from a complete beginner all the way hand-held through a pretty advanced level by now. It’s a pretty unique model where you basically have your own sales process every time and that you implement. That is the same, but the 10 people might be using different methodologies like, okay maybe some people have an internal theme. Some people don’t want to have the internal theme. They just work with freelancers and there’s some people that actually use other agencies. That really works.
    So, there’s a lot of different fits. There’s no one size fits all approach there, but I’m sure everybody will be able to find a way that fits them personally. This is for people that are looking for something different. It’s not your average mastermind where you’ll learn general things about business. It’s a very focused implementation, focused mastermind where you’re constantly pushed to get success and ideally, your life situation is either you have some time.
    You’ll definitely have some time to implement, but that would be best for let’s say students or you’re somewhere earlier in your career where you have some skills already, but are looking for more freedom, being more in charge of your own results.

    My name is Yasir Sultan and I’m a member of the BMI since around January, February 2017, it’s been a long time and it’s been a great journey so far, I love it, it’s been amazing, I’m truly grateful and blessed to be apart of the community. I just wanna talk about how BMI has helped and improved my life.
    The first question is, who am I, what is my business? You guys already know my name, Yasir, that’s Y-A-S-I-R, you can call me Yasir. And my business is I run a Facebook ad agency. I help e-commerce businesses generate more revenue using Facebook and Instagram as platforms. I’ve been specifically focusing on e-commerce for the last nine months or so, roughly. It’s been great so far.
    When did I join BMI? It was around February 2017 and I was in the Middle East, I had a job as an ERP consultant, which was paying me all right, but it was boring as fuck, right? And I was looking for an escape, I was looking for a way out. I was torn, and when I found out about BMI, I never heard of Aleks Vitkin, I was a complete co-lead. I just found my chance, I was looking for answers and I found out about BMI and I decided to book a call. My limiting beliefs were really challenged cause these guys were basically saying I could make more money through this than I do in my job in four months of serious implementation or three months implementation. And that was like, how is that even possible?
    I was surprised, I wanted to believe it cause it was like wow, but at the same time, I just didn’t think it was realistic. I thought it was very sketchy. That was my thinking at that point. Because I’ve spent so much time, went to the Internet, went to an engineering school and I got a job within a software ERP consultant and I did all that work and now someone’s telling me, “Yo, you can make the same money in four months of implementation” and I wanted to find out if it’s actually possible.
    So, I decided to join, followed exactly what the instructions told me and by the way, you have to put in the work, it’s not easy, you have to put in the work. I did that and I was actually making more money, around the same amount of money as my job in three to four months of implementation. I was like, “Wow.” This is insane for me. I decided to quit my job and that moment I left to Toronto and I wanna talk about the things that I’ve learnt in this group. One of the biggest things that BMI has taught me is the abundance mindset – How to think big.
    What I noticed was when I joined the community, and the places where I grew up, everyone was trying to compete with each other. Everyone was trying to one-up each other, everyone was trying to put the other person down so they can go up, right? And that’s what I’ve seen so I was very skeptical of people generally, so I was very cautious when I was getting into this. I took the chance because I want to believe it and I don’t really care about stability as much. I really never cared about that. I’m okay with taking risks, calculated risks in life, I don’t care, and I joined.
    The biggest thing I noticed that every member really tries to help the other person out. Everyone’s trying to help each other out. Coaches will help you out if you’re implementing, they’ll go out of their way to help you out even if they don’t need to. Which is wow, and people are sharing everything because there’s enough money to be made for everyone. No one’s trying to put anyone down, everyone’s trying to help each other grow and that was amazing for me.

    My name is Daniel. I’m from Austria. I’m running a software development agency. Back when I joined Business Mentor Insiders one year ago, I had two clients and I was scared that if one of those clients decided to stop working with me I wouldn’t be able to pay my monthly bills anymore.
    After joining BMI I have learned how to build a funnel, how to build processes, how to sell standardized services. And today I’m having a client base of around 22 clients. And we did more than 50 projects in the past year. Today I’m having a team of two software developers from Serbia. I’m having a virtual assistant from the Philippines to do my lead generation. And I’m having freedom to travel while I work. I live in Chiang Mai right now in Thailand and I think that I’m very proud of this that most of the clients I start working with keep working with me because they are very happy with the results that we deliver.
    I have built a lot of good client relationships in the past year and my client base is growing steadily. At times I’m getting as much clients that I can’t take any new projects anymore. That was something that I would have never dreamt of one year ago. Yeah, working with two clients, actually working for two clients as a freelancer and every once in a while getting some small project if I was lucky.
    Today, I’m having a lot more time than back when I joined and I’m making a lot more money than back when I joined. The weekly calls BMI have been extremely valuable so far and still are. The weekly calls in BMI were extremely helpful in the past and still are. Also the weekly accountability calls that happen twice a week help me to stay on track and focus on the parts of my business that need the most attention at the moment.
    BMI has a great community. It’s great to see people succeed all around you all the time. I just decided to commit and to join BMI and today I’m very, very happy about that because if I wouldn’t have joined, I’m sure that I would still work as a freelancer. I think I wouldn’t make any substantial amount of money.
    In the BMI community there are a lot of great fellow entrepreneurs that you can contact if you have any questions. It’s great to connect with people and it’s really great to see people succeed around you all the time. I think this program is for people that are ready to commit 100% and to take over the responsibility for their life 100%. If you are someone that’s ready to commit, I think this program is definitely for you.

    My name is Mihai. I’m running a Facebook marketing agency. We are helping businesses in the fashion industry, wedding industry, and real estate industry to generate more leads, more sales, via the Facebook and Instagram companies.
    Before joining BMI, I was just freelancing and struggling getting more clients. I always wished to build an agency, but I faced a lot of problems when it came to generating more leads, qualified leads, when it came to closing sales and also I was struggling with the delivery.
    By joining BMI, I was able to get the process that helped me to find more clients, to know how to close those clients, and the most important thing to know exactly how to deliver high quality services for those clients. Also, a good thing that happened after joining BMI is the fact that I improved my English. I was barely speaking English but being in such a group where everyone was facing similar problems to what I was facing gave me confidence and a certitude that I can get the same results as the other members are getting.
    Being in the group is something that I was always wishing, to be guided by people who are actually in business. Not by random teachers that are teaching stuff that isn’t actual anymore. Being in the group means that I get advice from people that have agency like mine. Bigger agencies who are facing partners or managing huge budgets for big companies. And every time I have an issue I can go on the group and ask for advice for a qualified person. In terms of my personal revenue after joining BMI, let’s not talk about numbers but I can tell you that my revenue went up with at least five, six, seven, x more than I was earning before joining BMI.
    So, if you consider joining Aleks’ group, I can only recommend you to do it. Don’t hesitate to book or call our team now and your life will change.

  • Nicolas Built A Marketing Agency Business That Generates Leads

    My name is Nicolas, and I run a multi-team agency that helps people. So, mainly E-commerce, fighting hard to get health products, and personal injury attorneys to get more high-quality leads for their businesses. This is all thanks to BMI, and I want to share my experience; of what’s been going on, how did I join it, what it’s like after everything that I’ve learned from.
    I joined BMI about one year and a half, actually two years ago. I had no prior experience in business, I was still in my third year of college, and I had signed up to a couple of online money-making masterminds, and uh, I had a couple of spites that I had acquired through door-to-door. It was a hard feeling when I first signed them, because it was kind of a limiting belief that I had already scraped off, but what I realized is that it was scalable; wasn’t something that I could do long-term and I could do from anywhere that I wanted because one of the main things that I did want to do was travel with business and make enough money to be able to do this consistently.
    Funny thing is when I joined the other masterminds, this is something that I decided to do with one of my friends who joined other masterminds to be tested and after a couple months, we came together and talked about the pros and cons of each of our masterminds.
    Lucky enough for me, he joined BMI, and after a couple months with my client that I acquired as I mentioned door-to-door, it was starting to get stressful. I was basically freelancing for them full-time, and then there were a lot of downsides to that in terms of having limited revenue, limited community-like environment that I could refer to, If I had any questions.
    Basically, he taught me about his experience with BMI; how he was already posing sales online and running his business online without having to do door-to-door sales, or having to walk or commute to work everyday.
    Basically, I decided to take the money that I acquired from the first client ever that I got from the other mastermind through of like, doing marketing for people, and I joined BMI. After joining BMI, one of the main things they do is they crush your limiting beliefs, they tell you exactly what needs to be done for you to get your online business started as soon as possible. And they give you the tools to make sure that this business is successful as quickly as possible.
    The way they do that is they give you the proper mindsets, they tell you the proper tools. Material or non-materials, so mindset wise and to be able to achieve your goals, and the main thing that they teach you also is sales, and sales can be misinterpreted as something bad, but sales is all about clear communication about a great service you can provide and bring value to other people’s lives and businesses. That’s the main thing that I’ve learned from BMI. That’s the most valuable thing that I’ve ever learned from any masterminds, or anything that I’ve done. School-wise or educational-wise, so I’m very grateful for that.
    As I mentioned beforehand, I was stressed, I was needing to work, I was– had limited options in terms of how much clients I could get, but with the new systems that BMI had taught me, I was able to sign sites online, I could work from anywhere, and that basically changed my life in terms of being flexible, I could start traveling, so within three months, I was making a steady 3.5k per month, and basically, from there I was starting to travel. I met a couple of other people from BMI, and that’s one of the things that I really appreciated about this community.

    I’m Jan and what I’m doing is I’m providing Facebook ads as a service to e-commerce businesses. I’m helping them get more sales, more profit, more revenue, that type of stuff. I joined BMI about two years ago now, slightly more, a couple of months more, but round and round in range. And before I wasn’t really content with the type of work that I was doing just because I couldn’t really be in control. I couldn’t have the type of impact and responsibility that I wanted to have, just due to circumstances in my previous workplace that they are out of my control.
    So, what I learned when joining BMI, Business Mentor Insiders, was mainly sales and also critical thinking. So, those are the two main things that I’ve gotten from it. And essentially beforeI would have bad tonality. You could argue it’s still not perfect, definitely is not. And what I was struggling with was basically getting paid what I was worth because I was really struggling with that, sort of stuck situation with the previous workplace I was in, especially if you want to pay for insurance, you want to pay for rent, all these types of expenses. They just wind up adding up.
    You see yourself stuck pretty fast in there just because the expenses are so high and you need to keep working in order to just survive, but you’re not actually going to move forward in terms of your life situation. And their learning sales has been really, really helpful for me. There’s, like in before I was really, really struggling with it. It was one of the main sticking points.
    And just the training material in the course really, really helped with that. You got a specific process. You could just go ahead, copy paste it into your own business. Obviously there’s slight differences between services and stuff like that, but overall the general principles wind up applying so you can just go ahead, copy paste that and use it which I did. Initially I didn’t. I tried to be super creative and stuff like that, but once I started actually implementing and just listening to what the people and the mastermind were saying, what Alex was saying, it wound up to really prove itself to work out really, really nicely.
    Especially if you compare it to the situation I was in before. It’s a difference like day and night. So, it was really good. Now the situation is that I have around ten clients. Sometimes it’s a bit more, sometimes it’s a bit less. There all pretty stable, so they’re all happy with the service that is being delivered because I know how to set expectations with them which is also something that you’re learning in the course. So, it was really, really helpful.
    Then my network just drastically improved in terms of people who I have around me. Where am I going for dinner with because the city that I live in there’s other members of the mastermind so that is really, really good. There is definitely a range of people in there. There are people making less but there are also people making really high amounts, so from them you can just learn a ton. You can model what they’re doing. You can look at the principles that they’re doing See how that can apply to your specific situation and overall just a very helpful environment to be in essentially, right?

  • How Zan Built An 8 Person Ecommerce Marketing Agency From Scratch

    My name is Zan. I run an eCommerce agency. We help eCommerce’s businesses improve their conversion rate, get more money out of what they’re already spending and all in all grow their business. We focus on bigger eCommerce businesses, so not really drop shipping or small businesses that are just starting to grow, but established eCommerce businesses that can actually benefit from our services.
    I joined the BMI about a year, a year and a half ago and before that I was just doing some freelance work, doing some other things, content mostly. Was just like looking for a way to launch a business. Tried a lot of things, failed at lot of things. But then after I joined the BMI, the biggest thing I think that changed my course was actually following a process from A to Z and executing on that, without really having to reinvent the view at the start just for the process, get results and then (muffled speaking) you don’t spend it all at once, you know what you’re doing and that was definitely the biggest thing that I learned at the start.
    Before that, as I said I was just barely scraping by, working odd jobs and trying to make it online, although I always knew I wanted to make something online and never was clear, and that was just more or less holding me back because I wasn’t following a set system. Since I’ve joined and started applying that, I personally became way more confident in my skills and how to get most out of them, not just in a way of signing as skills but also using them in other parts of my life because you get more confident with what you know and at least that was the case for me.
    Before I was joining, I was actually worried that it was like another online thing that you join and you never really execute on, but you just go through it and forget about it, and nothing really gets out of it. And that was my biggest worry just before joining BMI. That A, it won’t be as good as I would want it to be or as I would need it to be. And B, that I wouldn’t really have the know how or the motivation to finish it and actually both of those were provided so that I could focus on following the process and restarting my own business, building on it and expanding the skills that I had and that I gained in the meantime.
    When I decided to join, that was all forgotten because obviously all the support and the course, the marketing course helped to get on track live and loosening the path along and staying motivated because I saw the results of other people were getting, so. It became real and I still believe it is possible to make it and not just to make it with making a decent living without having to go through a thousand courses before you can start your own business.
    When it comes to who this is for, if I were to go back with having said that, it’s for everybody that was on the same path as me, that wants to build a business but doesn’t really know how to and has tried a lot of things, none of them worked because there was always something missing. So, its definitely the place to be if you want to start your own business.
