This episode is from an interview I did with an affiliate marketer two months before the publication of this episode, and about a month before Follow-Up Fuel went live.

The woman I interviewed, Alex S. Elliot, is the owner of the Digital Marketing Hacks for Online Entrepreneurs (DMHOE, for short) Facebook Group. This is where she leads a large, rapidly growing, community of digital marketers with a mission to teach them all of the hacks, tips, and strategies she has used to grow her 6-figure affiliate marketing business.

Listen carefully as she takes us on her journey from going from a board-certified nurse practitioner, to successful marketing agency owner, and how she made the decision to give it all up, including her own house, to take care of her sick mother---and of course how she got it all back.

Her story epitomizes what it means to focus, work hard, and persevere to achieve your goals--all with honesty and integrity. 

Here is the link to her Facebook Group if you'd like to join the community and learn how to grow your online business.

I'm patient with almost everyone, but I'm not patient when it comes to achieving my goals. 

In this episode I talk about how a lack of patience caused the biggest financial setback of my life and what I learned from it. 

If you're new to this podcast you will often hear me mention Follow-Up Fuel, but unless you've heard previous episodes you may not know what it is and who it can help. 

In this episode I give a brief overview and what Follow-Up Fuel is, who it helps and how. And if you're already aware of Follow-Up Fuel then you will hear how it's going and a change that I am making to the pricing model. 

In this episode of "Walk-Away-Wednesday" I talk about how a technical problem I was having, which prevented me from sharing an interview with you, turned into a billion dollar idea. Maybe? Potentially? You be the judge.

I'm not smart enough, nor do I have the right resources to pull it off. Maybe somebody does. Either way, I'd love for someone to solve this problem for me. 

In most cases, it's better to think there is more than to think there is less. It's part of being an optimist, but that's not really what this episode is about.

How can you think more abundantly to start and grow a business? I've been wrestling with that myself lately and in this episode I share how I'll be thinking more abundantly to grow my business. 

Whether you have an email list or aspire to start and grow an email list, you should listen to this episode.

There are many benefits to having an email list and I thought I knew all of them. But then I got a private message through Facebook that proved there was still at least one other benefit I hadn't thought yet. 

As a matter of fact, this benefit is so obscure that even the most well-known internet marketing gurus don't mention what I just learned.

How can you create something if you're not creative and lack creativity?

In this episode I talk about my 2-Step creative process and how simple it is for anyone to copy-especially if you don't have a creative bone in your body.

In this episode I mention that seeing other people succeed can be great sustenance for our own persistence.

We can also learn a lot about persistence simply by watching our own children mature and grow.

In this episode you'll hear me talk about the decision I made when I worked at a staffing agency that lead to a $76,300 month. It was a simple strategic decision that I made after reading a local publication. 

I talk about how the process I went through to make that decision is similar to the process I'm going through to build and scale Follow-Up Fuel.

Right now, it's all about testing.

What do you do when you have an idea or a vision of something you want to do? Perhaps open a store, create an online course or anything else? 

How do companies that have gone from being just good companies to becoming great companies become so great and what have I leared from them?

In this episode I share my experience of feeling overwhelmed with too many things that I want to do. How do I execute it all with limited time? How do I do it with limited talent?
