My name is Daniel and I run a Google Ads marketing agency helping businesses get more leads, get more subscriptions, and ultimately sales and paying customers to grow their business, and fulfill their vision. Ultimately, that became possible just because at a certain time of my life. I got in touch with BMI, with Alex and other BMI instructors, and they helped me and supported me through my goal of actually developing this business.
Before I joined BMI, I didn’t have any marketing knowledge, maybe just a little bit from what I saw, but overall any marketing knowledge, I didn’t have any business knowledge whatsoever. I actually didn’t understand the idea of business overall. What I wanted for myself is I wanted to have a free life, a life full of opportunities and I didn’t want to get stuck in the job even after I finished the army, which I was at the time and I realized this is not for me.
I knew I had to learn certain skills, specific high income skills that are in demand, no matter what country I am in. And basically, skills that are solid. I wanted to have the solid foundation. Initially I was looking into photography, videography, into doing that, but soon, then transition to advertising because I didn’t know at the time you can just start working in the advertising industry right away.
Once I stumbled in the summer 2017, I stumbled upon Alex’s video content, one of the seminars he did when he actually talked about starting your first business, and the rocks in the water that you can expect from this. One of the things he was talking about is actually, you cannot start your first business and expect it to go smoothly right away, if it’s your first business.
The most effective way to learn business and to have that life, develop those skills is actually to use a proven business model that worked for many other people, that’s a comprehensive system, and learn this business model from the people directly. Not like some courses which I took a lot at the time, but actually directly speaking to people. The people who already have achieved the success that you’re after, or even better. So, I got interested in this and I got on a call with one of the instructors. It was really a bizarre situation because I was guarding at the desert at the day. But in any case, it was just an amazing call. We spoke with that person about my goals, my vision for the next five years.
What am I trying to achieve, and we were assessing, okay, is this a good fit for the Mastermind, is a good fit for me to join right now? And what will happen? How the process would look like and basically we were discussing every step of the way. One of the reasons I joined several months after that call, and that call I already was committed to join because I understood the value of mentors. And I wanted to get a mentor for myself that already has achieved success, that will show me the ways so to say. But again, it’s true.
If you want to save time, save resources and not make all of the mistakes that other people made before you, you need to work with the mentor, and you need to collaborate. It’s like when you’re a child, your mother, your father like teach you stuff, and then you have a lot more advanced friend in the field, let’s say sports, socializing, or I don’t know, science, and you learn from that directly.
