			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Funny, I never really thought I would be writing this post&#8230; but, if what I have to say is important to you, read further and enjoy the videos. You likely won&#8217;t see an email from me in the future and there definitely won&#8217;t be anymore free rides and I&#8217;ll explain what that means in a moment.</p>
<p>So, what could make an internet mentor, someone who truly cares about the success of others throw in the towel? Simply put, lack of perceived value and no regard for other peoples&#8217; commitments to you. Now, this isn&#8217;t necessarily directed toward YOU, but it is directed toward those who are more concerned about their own personal gain than they are with respecting the time and effort that others have contributed to them.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve goofed a few times in my internet career. Not finishing clients&#8217; projects on time has been an issue, doing to much to offer more to my subscribers while spending less time with my family and not cutting people off when they were becoming bottom feeders and wasting my time, just to try to find that &#8220;magic bullet&#8221; that would make money gush out of their computers.</p>
<p>Recently, one of my students said that they were losing faith in me. Hmmm. I was told that I wasn&#8217;t teaching enough. I was told what I needed to do and what they expected. I&#8217;ve been hit with a few demands and consistently work on fulfilling my commitments. Sometimes though, I wonder if people from the other end are looking at the commitments they are getting from me.</p>
<p>Take for example. From January of 2008 to July of 2009, I&#8217;ve released over 200 hours of free video lessons that gave enough content to make a homeless man rich. I&#8217;ve written close to 1300 hundred articles teaching even more and I&#8217;ve broadcasted <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentorship" title="Mentorship" rel="wikipedia">mentoring</a> sessions live, my live radio show coaching and had one on one mentoring sessions, all for free, for the past 2 years that range up to 700 hours.</p>
<p>I have written close to 1600 blog posts coaching people in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_development" title="Personal development" rel="wikipedia">personal development</a>, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_marketing" title="Internet marketing" rel="wikipedia">internet marketing</a> and many other topics with the hopes at helping others to enhance their quality of life. During that time, I&#8217;ve been asked to give people scholarships into my high end <a href="http://http://www.TheWESTProgram.com/west.html">coaching programs</a>, give discounts, make payment arragements, give products away for free or to just spend my TIME for free with them with no regards of what effect that would have on my business, my time or my family.</p>
<p>Effective immediately. No more free rides, no more discounts and absolutely no more of ME allowing others to waste my time. I am focusing my time on my <a href="http://www.TheWESTProgram.com/west.html">World Entrepreneur Success Training Program</a>, <a href="http://www.ewebmarketingmanagement.com">eWebMarketingManagement.com</a> and my clients&#8217; projects. I will continue with my <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niche_market" title="Niche market" rel="wikipedia">niche marketing</a> and will not allow myself to attach to my subscribers. I made a promise to myself, back in early 2007 that when I found the way to succeed online that, I would teach others to do the same&#8230; until people began to take advantage of that kindness and began to not hold themselves accountable for their own success.</p>
<p>That time has come and I am currently clicking on the delete button on my mailing list.</p>
<p>My <a href="http://www.TheWESTProgram.com/west.html">WEST</a> students will only receive <a href="http://www.TheWESTProgram.com/west.html">WEST</a> updates from my support responder and&nbsp; any new subscribers can expect regular product promotions from me that will provide them with solutions. Here&#8217;s the thing, I don&#8217;t sit here and type away on a computer all day and record videos, spend hours in post production and send out countless pieces of unique, quality content for my health. I&#8217;m in business to succeed and provide CUSTOMERS with value. Not to give away that which is precious to me&#8230; i.e. my time and my products.</p>
<p>Anyone who can respect that , feel free to enroll in <a href="http://www.TheWESTProgram.com/west.html">the WEST program</a> at <a href="http://www.TheWESTProgram.com/west.html">http://www.TheWESTProgram.com/west.html</a></p>
<p>If this offends anyone, I&#8217;m not sorry&#8230; I&#8217;m glad that I&#8217;ve been able to helps so many people and that they continue to contact me and tell me about the amazing results and benefits that they gain from what I have taught them.</p>
<p>By the way, below you will see one last internet marketing lesson video from me. It&#8217;s 64 minutes of solid content about <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization" title="Search engine optimization" rel="wikipedia">SEO</a>. Recently someone told me that I didn&#8217;t teach an SEO section in the WEST program. Well, I did&#8230; but it would take for someone to understand that SEO is literally EVERYTHING that you do online&#8230; and those who spend their time JUST teaching SEO is WASTING YOUR TIME!</p>
<p>I hope this and the many other pieces of content I have on the internet are helpful to you and I truly feel sorry for those who chose to ignore the email that I sent about this post&#8230; because that is the last email they will receive from me.</p>
<p>Take care and good luck in all that you set out to accomplish. I wish you all the best and that you continue to grow. For those of you who wish to become successful online but don&#8217;t want to do any work, who doesn&#8217;t want to implement strategies and pay for marketing material or advertising&#8230; there&#8217;s an easy way to remedy that problem&#8230; log off the internet and don&#8217;t open another internet marketing course ever again.</p>
<p>Of course you could waste your time with adsense and writing articles for pennies and dollars if you&#8217;d like&#8230; it&#8217;s up to you.</p>
<p>Sincerely</p>
