An email from LCP:

I have read many books about business and goals, growing as a person, and I honestly believe your perspective is the most life changing approach I have ever read.  In The Pledge, I love how you give such specific steps on how to organize your office, set goals, your filing system, the way to think, etc.  So many times I feel writers talk about the goal of where they want to take you, but give you nothing to work with in the moment, so as a reader, you feel you never make progress, because you don’t know where to start.

 I met Mark at a WBC lunch and…  15 minutes of sharing with him made me clear on how to be an entrepreneur in a unique way.

 I had the opportunity to meet up with Mark two more times…. Pool cleaning company, real estate for rent, financial advisory, car sales, taxi license, were some of the businesses that I created after this. Some have failed, but most are still active…. The greatest lesson learned is to prepare, fire….

 Today my life is fuller and better. I enjoy more wealth in all areas of my life, more money, more time, more family, more good relationships, more pleasures and rewards, more mental creation. I can state that the… interaction with Mark changed my life….

 I hope to continue on the path of wealth creation and to have many pleasurable trials along the way, to definitely enjoy the journey.

Dear Mark,

It is so nice to find your blog! I have followed your writing since around 2005. ETR was always my first read in the morning. [Your] writing captures my imagination like few others…. I thank you for sharing your timeless wisdom.

An email from CO:

Hey Mark, just wanted to drop you a quick note saying thanks for writing Ready, Fire, Aim. I started a new business that did around $1 million in revenue last year, and your book really laid out the framework to build it to $10 million and beyond.

An email from SL:

 [At the age of 51] I decided to make a real change in my life by not having a TV or internet/computer. For once in my life I could stop being a news junkie and open up a book. I grabbed The Pledge and it fell on a page… about becoming a better person. I read the seven bullet points again and again. It really struck a chord within me and it became my daily mantra. “Focus on opportunities, not problems” has really helped me get on with my work. When you said nothing else you do will bring you peace of mind. Money won’t. Success won’t. FAME won’t, it feels like it is going to prepare me to cope better with my crazy career…. Very powerful words Mark. You should be proud!

An email from BWS:

Mark Ford,

I have always thought of you as a genius but I am now convinced. I will be sending copies of your book to those I know and respect in business….

 The basic truisms included should be written on the inside of the eyelids of every business person so each can be constantly reminded of the truly important versus the seemingly important factors that are crucial to financial success.

 Your biggest fan,

BWS

An email from JB:

Hi Mark,

 Just want to thank you again for your idea of a big all access pass type offer. We have just crossed over $1mil in sales from that idea….

We are now setting our sights on $10mil and I’m confident I can hit it….

 Thanks again.

CW’s “7 Years to 7 Figures” Story

I come from a small rural farm town in PA where nobody ever leaves and it’s hard to find people in that social circle that can help provide such valuable insight that allows someone like me to completely change their life situation….

In 2012, I stumbled across Stansberry Research and was intrigued by Porter, started listening to his radio show and heard you on that show talk about building wealth.

This eventually got me to the Wealth Builder’s Club and I signed the pledge in April 2013.

Well this April 2019, 7 years from when I found you through Stansberry and 6 years from when I signed the pledge, my net worth is officially $1,000,000!

And in 2012/2013 when I started on this 7 years to 7 figures journey I was over $200,000 to the negative….

Thanks again, Mark.

This Is Why I Can’t Stop Teaching and Writing

 An email from JW:

I am a 24-year-old entrepreneur…

Thanks for all of your writing! I am a huge fan of Ready Fire Aim, several of your books, your essays from Palm Beach Research, and your blog. [They] have helped me develop a business that is entering “stage 3” (as described in Ready Fire Aim)….

 I see myself at an important phase in my life where I am trying… to focus on the right things….

Between wealth creation, charity, your appreciation of the finer things (Living Rich), your family values, and plenty of other reasons, I consider you a fantastic role model….

Thank you for the massive impact on my life you have already made. Excited to see where the next few decades go!
