Today's guest has recently ended a 34-year career as a serial direct marketer, and has now made the transition from intrapreneur to entrepreneur.

My guest made this transition while taking Boardroom Inc., which he worked within and later became a partner of, from around $3 million in revenues in 1981 to a high of $150 million, and creating marketing messages that have reached well over 1 billion people.

As of last January, my guest made the official and final step into entrepreneurship with the launch of his own consulting business. To kick off, he held a conference called The Titans of Direct Response and featured today’s greatest direct marketing entrepreneurs.

Show Notes

Today’s guest is a young entrepreneur that has spent half of his life in technology, marketing, and building businesses.

By the age of 21 he had three catastrophic business failures and found himself 100’s of thousands of dollars in debt.

Now, at the age of 23, he is the founder of Infinitus Marketing and Technology, a company he has been building for nearly two years.

He was the recipient of the 2013 American Express Innovator award and he was also named as one of Youth In Motions ‘Top 20 under 20 in Canada’. He is also a master connector.

Using the techniques and strategies outlined in his new book Connections That Count, my guest has added over half a million dollars in revenue to his business. He has done this by hosting what he calls, Limitless Business dinners and lunches, all over North America.

Today’s guest is not only a smart entrepreneur, she is also part designer, part business strategist, and part coach. A few years ago she would’ve told you that she wasn’t an entrepreneur, but this has changed.

She now runs her own successful business and helps other ladypreneurs gain the clarity + confidence they need to connect with their ideal clients, build their brand + business online…and look good doing it.

Last year we had the pleasure of meeting at Chris Ducker’s Tropical Think Tank and I was blown away by her marketing strategies (which she calls her super power) and her truly beautiful web design work, that has been the foundation of her business for years.

Today’s guest is a serial entrepreneur. He has unparalleled perseverance and has failed more times than most.

At the age of 25, with money he got from his father, my guest made the transformation from a street vendor of flowers, into a top securities day trader, in only 12 months. This alone is a brilliant story, but just the beginning.

After beating the odds on Wall Street, my guest has taken his team-building skills and personal experience, to create a family of products that reflect his passion for educating and supporting entrepreneurs.

Today, he is the founder and CEO of ONTRAPORT,an award-winning, all-in-one marketing and business automation platform to help entrepreneurs start, systemize, and scale their businesses.

Now, let’s hack… Landon Ray.

Today’s guest is an online entrepreneur.

In August 2006 he started the blog Change Your Thoughts – Change Your Life. This blog has gone onto become the #1 personal development blog in the UK.

In 2012 he quit his job as addiction support worker to make the move to full-time blogger and entrepreneur; he has not looked back.

He has written 4 books and spoken on many stages.

He has accomplished many impressive things and as you will hear he still has a long ways to go. My guest isn’t making millions of dollars, but he is building a huge platform for himself and has some lofty goals that I know he will hit.

Now, let’s hack… Steven Aitchison.

Today’s guest is an entrepreneur in the truest sense, and at times even to his own detriment.

In 2007, my guest started a one-man web design company in Cape Town, South Africa and within a few years he turned it into the worldwide brand that is now known as WooThemes — a multi-million dollar WordPress company with more than a million users.

In 2013, my guest exited that company and being the entrepreneur that he is, he immediately jumped into his next endeavour PublicBeta. And although he consciously went at it differently this time, he found himself burnt out and needing to make some drastic changes and took some time off business to realign and prioritize his life.

Last year, my guest jumped back into he ring full with his last venture Receiptful — a company that supercharges the receipts that your business sends to your customers.

Adii Pienaar.

Today’s guest is an author and entrepreneur who successfully overcame Crohn’s disease with his incredible willpower, understanding and testing of nutrition, and rigorous exercise.

He launched his entrepreneurial career early, when at the age of twelve he agreed to create a company website for one of his father’s business associates. This was the foundation of Liontex, a web development company that ended up developing over one hundred and fifty websites.

More recently, he co-founded Less Doing, where he works on making every task in life and business more efficient. This is the seventh company he has built and the first time in his life that he see’s himself as an entrepreneur.

Ari Meisel.

Today’s guest is an entrepreneur that founded a great company that is not solely focused on growth.

The software he built is called Sifter, an extremely popular bug and issue tracking application for companies that develop software.

It went live on December 4th, 2008 and became my full-time endeavour in July of 2010. He launched Sifter by building up an email list of about 1,000 people by blogging about bug tracking and other development-related topics. Build the audience and then the product.

He is also the author of Starting + Sustaining, a practical guide for building and maintaining your own web businesses.
