One person I’ve always admired online is John Reese and his recent video demonstrates why.

Besides being a brilliant marketer, he’s just a good human being.

Let me give you a personal example as well as a 12+ minute video that John just released…

If you rewind back to December of this past year when we did the 2007 Online Secrets Telefundraiser to raise some money for a poor rural village in El Salvador, John eagerly accepted our invitation to be on the call.

We were just so grateful because along with the other great marketers that we had on that call including Alex Mandossian, Armand Morin, Mike Filsaime, and David Frey, we knew that their schedules were crazy and hectic (it was close to Christmas) and we figured that they wouldn’t be able to make it.

Still, they made the time to help.

That in and of itself was a rewarding moment for me because it demonstrated that even though all these guys make millions of dollars every year, there’s still that “human side” to everyone.

The money is great but the human connection can be (and is) much more satisfying.

However, that wasn’t the end of it for John.

Not only did he join us on the call and deliver over 90 minutes of killer marketing content but he also sent an ENORMOUS amount of people to that call. By doing so he single handedly raised thousands and thousands of dollars for this trip which helped SO MANY people.

You can see a picture slide show of the trip here.

He’s a class act all the way through and in his recent video he gives another demonstration of this in action.

As I sat and watched the video, my mind was racing but there was also an awkward feeling at the pit of my stomach.

I knew what it meant.

The lesson in John’s video hit home for me and I’ve since challenged myself to find a way to “raise my game” - especially with my customers.

I’ll admit, the last few months I’ve felt like I’ve been in a funk (even though I have a tremendous amount of things going on including new products and services).

It’s that thing called “the comfort zone”.

I’m in it right now.

It’s comfy… but it sucks!

My creativity levels are low.

My motivation is low.

My ability to get stuff done is low.

The comfort zone kills all progression.

That’s why John’s video was the kick in the pants I needed.

Thanks John!

Enjoy the video
