Chapter 12
The Internet is Real
I'll never forget that day I showed up at the Genghis Grill in Frisco, Texas, and my boy Mike Reiss walked in with a red Keller Williams shirt and khaki pants on. He said he'd been at the red Keller Williams event. I wasn't sure exactly what that meant, but Mike was boiling over with enthusiasm. If you know Mike Reiss, you know he's an enthusiastic guy anyway. To say that he's boiling over with enthusiasm means it was almost uncomfortable for me to be around him. He was so excited. He told me that since I'd been locked up, he'd gone out of the real-estate business, and started selling coaching and training to real-estate agents on the same processes that allowed him to be the top producer in the county at the time.
Back in 2005, Mike Reiss and his team sold the real-estate, while I did the mortgages. We all worked together as a team. Basically every time that somebody needed to get a home loan, they would send them over to me as their top referral receiver. In the meantime, I would make sure, through my mortgage practices, that they would close on time. I took care of the team and the client as well. We made a good team together. When Mike met me for lunch, he was explaining that he had left the real-estate business after making a lot, maybe over a million GCI a year. GCI, if you're not familiar, is gross commissions income. He had made all this money, but yet he was leaving to pursue a full-time life on the Internet. He went on to tell me about these guys named Ryan Deiss, Frank Kern, Mike Filsaime, Andy Jenkins, and Preston Ely, and all these guys who were doing really cool things online at the time.
After we were done eating, and I had listened to Mike just unload, and verbally vomit all this cool stuff, I was intrigued. Mike was the best in the business, in the busiest county. He had made over seven figures a year in a business he loved. If he was making enough money from the internet to allow him to leave his real-estate business, then he was onto something. I followed Mike out to his Hummer. He opened the back door, and he said, "Here's this program. It's called Ryan Deiss' Continuity Blueprint. Follow this whole thing. Figure out how the Internet works, and then I'll talk to you a little bit more about all this."
I took this program home. On the way home, Mike had sent me a text saying that program was a $1500 program. My mind was blown. I never heard of or invested $1500 in anything, let alone just a set of DVDs that I was going to watch. I was, needless to say, super excited to see what $1500 worth of value was like. When I got home, I popped it into my HP laptop. The DVD started playing and it was so simple to follow.
