This episode of Influence takes you right into the action with Dan Klein - millionaire marketer and co-founder of jobkilling.com. Dan has perfected a system that leverages the power of online marketing to help thousands ditch their job and embrace financial freedom. Understanding that many of our listeners are not necessarily looking to kill their job's, I convinced Dan to share some of his most prized online strategies to drive more leads through the proverbial front door. In this episode, we discuss:

  • Why salesmanship is a necessary skill, regardless of profession.
  • Why so many people get stuck in mundane jobs and end up working for someone elses dream.
  • What is Virtual Real Estate and how can you create income developing virtual properties.
  • Why most businesses are constructed backwards and a theory as to why most businesses fail.
  • The importance of leads to sustainable business growth.
  • Step-by-step process to start capturing leads today.
  • How to "kill your job" and make a fortune working for yourself.

"Leads are the game . . .there is nothing more important or nothing that drives revenue more than leads. That’s the only reason people advertise, is to generate leads. So if you want to fast forward your results, you need to learn how to be your own lead generator."  -Dan Klein


MEET DAN KLEIN

As a former Division 1 Athlete, Dan left school to sell luxury motorhomes and automobiles. Dan was the youngest sales manager of a Fortune 500 Company, and perfected his sales techniques swiftly and with ease.

After leaving the car industry in 2008, Dan spearheaded two highly profitable online sales businesses peaking over seven figures in sales during the worst financial crisis of our time.

After the sale of his internet companies, Dan acquired three local businesses and entered the consulting realm. In mid-2014 Dan and a partner launched one of the largest world-wide local lead generation training companies to date; generating over $6 million in sales in less than 18 months. The company is jobkilling.com. and their mantra is "kill your 9-5".

"The biggest tragedy in my life wasn't that I lost my sight. The biggest tragedy is that I didn't live my life, before I lost my sight, like I do today. Today I see my blindness as a gift . . ."  -Tanner Gers

This episode of Influence introduces the incredible story of Tanner Gers. At age 21, Tanner was in a horrible car accident that left him blind in both eyes. Instead of giving up, Tanner took flight, finishing his degree and eventually representing the United States as a Paralympic athlete. Today, Tanner is a power-house entrepreneur with a variety of businesses centered around coaching, health, and fitness. Just listening to Tanner will inspire you to stand up, get over yourself, and do something fantastic with your life.

In this episode we are going to talk about:

  • The accident that cost Tanner his vision and how he was able to overcome such adversity.
  • How Tanner was able to "get back up", finish his degree, and become paralympic gold medalist.
  • The power of belief and how Tanner was able to save his own life.
  • How to take control of your life and find greatness within you.
  • How to view obstacles as "gifts" that can propel your life to new heights.

"Everyday is a lot easier when you know it could always be worse"  -Tanner Gers


MEET TANNER GERS

Tanner Gers (pronounced Gears) is a published author, professional speaker, US Paralympian, founder of ABSolutely Lean, and host of The Athlete Summit. Tanner’s big mission in life is to help people across the world achieve their potential with his gift for cultivating confidence, determination, and the will to achieve greatness in life, regardless of circumstance. Oh yeah. He’s also totally blind.

In 2004, Tanner experienced a horrible auto accident that left him in a coma and destroyed his ability to see. Tanner was determined to not be defined by his disability or let that prevent him from living his dreams. Tanner is an individual that embodies the idea that anyone can do anything they set their mind to and does this every day by helping others achieve their full potential.

In 2010, Tanner started training and coaching developmental athletes in various sports, including volleyball, baseball, football and cross country. After having the honor and the privilege to represent the United States at the 2012 Games in London, Tanner’s focus on optimal athletic performance began to shift toward optimal health.

While having tremendous success with his 1-on-1 clients, Tanner felt he could do more with his story and began his public speaking career. Quickly becoming an accomplished speaker, Tanner delivers keynotes for schools, colleges, non-profits, and corporate events across the country in addition to presentations on exercise, nutrition, and health.

Motivated to help individuals worldwide, Tanner launched www.ABSolutelyLean.com and published two books, “Becoming ABSolutely Lean: The First Steps to Optimal Health, Hormones and Achieving a Lean Body,” and “ABSolutely Lean Fast Food: The Fat Loss Guide in a Fast Food Life” and released his bodyweight fitness program, ABSolutely Lean System Fitness. Today, Tanner still consults, trains and designs customized programs for women, men and youth in health, body composition, fitness and athletic performance through www.ABSolutelyLean.com.

"I decided that I wanted to be the fastest blind dude"  -Tanner Gers

“Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change”  -Jim Rohn

This episode of Influence reveals a power example of how a mentor can transform your life. Michael Unks is wise beyond his years, and has some incredible insights into the foundational aspects of finding happiness and achieving success. I think we have all faced a time our life when we’ve questioned ourselves. Michael is one who did something about it.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Finding Acceptance with yourself
  • How to create change in your life that lasts
  • How to challenge the limiting beliefs that limit your progress
  • Leveraging the importance of gratitude in your life
  • And stay tuned for a strategy from Tony Robbins

MEET MICHAEL UNKS

Michael Unks is a pharmacist, public speaker, entrepreneur, habitual bow-tie wearer and a best-selling author on Amazon

Michael graduated from the South Carolina College of Pharmacy in May 2015 at the age of 24. He dramatically changed his outlook in his last year of pharmacy school with help from his teacher, Will.

A majority of his life he has struggled with his weight, social anxiety and the feeling of never being good enough. However, he’s made radical changes and wants to share what he learns with others so they can improve their lives, too. His writing style has been described as “Raw” because of his willingness to be vulnerable to help readers learn from his mistakes.

Michael hoped his first book, One-Month Willpower: A Simple System For Life-Changing Transformation showed others how they can live incredible, fulfilling lives and reach their potential. He also wanted to give back to his country; All proceeds went towards the Wounded Warrior Project.

His second book: “One-Week Willpower: A Simple Foundation to Become More Successful, Likable and Achieve Your Dreams” came out November 2015 and provides readers a one-week guide to improve their lives using the SIMPLE acronym.

He is extremely excited about his third book: “Awesome in Hours: 7 Easily Obtainable Qualities, 35 Practical Take-Aways to Becoming an Awesome Individual.” A book that teaches the AWESOME acronym in less than 2 hours.

One of the most essential ingredients to influence and entrepreneurship is the ability to build rapport with your customers. While it is one thing to know where to find your customers, it's an entirely different thing to know how to build relationships that create value for them, and revenue for you.

In this episode we discuss:

  • How to convert a passion into a profitable business.
  • How to find and build rapport with your target audience.
  • The most commonly misunderstood truth about what customers actually want.
  • How to make the transition from giving away free advice to becoming a highly-paid expert.
  • Developing greater confidence in your business or expertise.

Meet Luis Congdon

My guest today is Luis Congdon. His unbelievable story begins in Columbia when, at the age of five, his mother was murdered leaving him both orphaned and homeless. At the age of eight, his life transformed as he was rescued by adoptive parents who brought him to the United States.

By nature of the many struggles Luis faced with relationships, he gravitated towards the work of relationship experts, Dr.’s John and Julie Gottman. In addition to teaching their system, Luis was also a key player in one of the nation’s largest research projects looking into the components of successful marriage relationships. However, in spite such powerful experience, Luis struggled to find his niche, and again found himself homeless. While sleeping on friends couches, Luis discovered the power of online marketing and embraced a forum that would enable him to share his expertise with the world.

Today, Luis is the host of Lasting Love Connection, a top rated iTunes podcast as well as thrivinglaunch.com. Luis is the creator of a powerful course for podcasters and owner of a popular Facebook podcast group. Luis went from sleeping on couches to making a six figure income via digital products, podcasting, Facebook and networking in only 10 months. Best of all, he is ready to teach you his secrets.

"My work comes out of a passion to help others avoid the pains I went through." -Luis Congdon
