Dear friends,
Today I’d like to discuss something with you that will get you more quality joint venture partners then any course on JV’s will ever do.
The tactic is very simple. You never go after solely the JV. You want to develop relationships with people that extend beyond just a email blast or a quick private message here and there.
And I’m talking about relationships that go way beyond just drinking at the bar with a guru or two at the seminar as well.
You want to be the guy that gets the invite to the VIP dinners and late night festivities that are usually only extended to the inner circle of internet marketing buddies. I’m sure you know the usual suspects.
Okay sure, easier said then done right?
Well sometimes yes, and sometimes no.
You see, I always pay attention to what people like and dislike. I take notes and put them into a folder for each particular person. I know Willie Crawford likes to go “Deap Sea Fishing” and I know Jeff Walker likes to Mountain Bike. Ed Dale likes to eat Krispy Kremes and Yanik Silver likes to do wild and crazy stuntman stuff and pretend he’s Evel Knievel.
When you know these little specific things about people it’s easy to figure out dialogue and conversation that will help you bond beyond the level of just a fellow marketer. Also, if you are a giving person then it makes perfect sense to know intimate things about others when it comes time to purchase them a gift.
Getting a brand new “Les Paul” guitar in the mail can do wonders for your JV chances.
But beyond bribes and being some lame kiss ass, you just gotta become “Bro’s” with the people you want to work with. And the best way to do that is to just be a chill, sincere, and motivated person who likes to have fun and enrich others experiences.
I personally spent 2 years doing nothing but making friends and doing what I could to help out other friends businesses without any expectation that they’d do anything for me. Of course we all know that the law of reciprocation will always give back, but I actually enjoy helping out and seeing others succeed.
And that kind of attitude will get you far in this business!
It will gain you friends, respect, and most importantly a “Reputation”. Once you have a reputation of “being on the team”, things are a whole lot easier. Seriously, a billion times easier.
But let’s face it, not everyone is a super outgoing personality who’s comfortable rubbing shoulders and schmoozing at seminars. And I’ll let you in on a little secret… “most of those schmoozers don’t stand much of a chance at landing any type of deals anyways”!
And it’s mostly because…
“THEY ARE NOT FRIENDS”!
Listen up,
In this biz, you want friends not JV Parntners. You want cool people who you can rely on and have fun with. The number one reason I’ve become buddy-buddy with so many all-star marketers, musicians, and video celebs is because I am constantly having fun.
I don’t know anyone that doesn’t like having fun!
So what you need to do is find out a way that you can have TONS OF FUN with these marketing guys. Do that and your instantly pals!
Okay, so check this out…
I get a email from Yanik this morning saying… “Are you coming to the Dune Buggy Rally or what?”
Damn, did he say Dune Buggies?
Now if that doesn’t sound like a dumptruck full of fun, I don’t know what does.
You see, Yanik has a group he started called “Maverick Business Adventures” where basically he and his successful marketing buddies travel all around the world and do amazingly fun stuff.
And I’m talking about FUN on a entirely different level. You should see some of the pictures of him and my pal Frank Kern doing a “Road Rally Race” thru Vegas while dressed up as Elvis Impersonators.
I hear that crazy guy Yanik is flying into space too! I’m calling “Nutcase” on that one.
Anyways, here is what’s up…
The Dune Buggy Rally in Mexico!
Sadly for me, I hate flying with a passion. I just can’t do it. I’m a sissy. And driving to Mex doesn’t seem like the smartest option for this Gringo either. So I’m super pissed that I can’t go to this Dune Buggy Race and chill and drink beers in Mexico with my pals.
ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
However, if you are not a bone head, or a dweeb, and are genuinely a cool person who can afford such a trip…
YOU ARE IN SO MUCH LUCK!
Listen, this is going to be an adventure that you’ll remember forever. We’re talking about Dune Buggy Racing in Mexico with a bunch of cool and successful dudes that are guaranteed to be having a blast.
But hey…
This is obviously not for everyone. First of all, it costs quite a bit of money.
Also, I know Yanik probably doesn’t want people coming that aren’t into the same mindset of having a blast. In short, if you are a whiny business guy who can’t set aside business for a bit and do some bad ass jumps in your Dune Buggy in the Mexican sand, then don’t even think of clicking this link…

I have no idea whether or not you’ll make any business deals or make any money. In fact, I don’t think you should even be worrying about that while you are there.
But I can tell you that if you go in the right frame of mind, you’ll walk away with some pretty damn cool friends who know how to live life at the fullest.
And in this business, friends are worth a million times more then JV Partners.
