Is Mark Joyner simple?

So I’ve been doing Simpleology 101. I came across it through a long chain of unusual events, the kind of thing that no longer surprises me. For anyone who is not familiar with Simpleology: The Simple Science of Getting What You Want, it is a fantastic program. Mark Joyner is really onto something here. As an educator myself, I’m particulary impressed by his methods. And the great thing is, it’s free! No, I’m not paid a cent for mentioning it on this blog. I just think it’s cool. And Simpleology has helped me to feel more focused, be more productive, and feel better about my life.

There’s a funny thing that happens with word of mouth marketing. If it’s forced, people just don’t really buy it. I remember. Fresh out of high school I worked for a company that swore it wasn’t MLM, but it was so close it’s not worth differentiating. (I’m sure people who knew me then are gasping as they read that sentence.) I got involved through a well-meaning family member. There is this strange pressure to tell everyone you know, hoping they’ll get involved and you’ll reap the rewards. I’ll tell you right now, that is the furthest thing from my mind. I remember losing friends who felt betrayed, pressured, awkward. And that sucked.

Disclaimer: By mentioning Simpleology I get nothing. Zip. Zilch. It affects my financial wellbeing not at all if you visit the site or not, and I recommend it nonetheless.

And for those of you folks interested in marketing and business, I’ve found Mark Joyner to be an invaluable resource. Actually, he’s the expert coach on the first episode of The Next Internet Millionaire. But back on his own site, he’s doing this cool 12 month program right now. (One time only!) It seems like corporate espionage. I call it genius. It almost feels like cheating. He and a “student” (head of a multi-million dollar company) are broadcasting their live training sessions over the course of a year. They call it Word of Mouth Transformation. It’s pretty cool getting to listen in on the private tutoring/consultation sessions. Don’t they say if you want to make it big, look at what the top dogs are doing and copy them? Well, maybe not everyone gives that advice, but I think it makes sense. My parents may have encouraged me to get a job with a good company, be safe, get benefits. I’d rather feel passionate about what I’m doing and follow in some bigger footsteps. How about you?

So for the day to day inspiration and focus, I appreciate Simpleology. The coolest part is, it’s absolutely free. And I swear, there are no hooks — at least none that I’ve found. For those of you interested (and I know my friends might be ready for me to stop talking about it, but I’m just so excited) check out www.simpleology.com and sign up for 101. It will change your life. In a good way.
