Hey Derek…. very inspiring story, unfortunately I can relate….except you need to add another 0 to the end of the cc bill.
I’m happy for you, sounds like you have your path clearly defined.
Unfortunately for me, I have health issues that seem to knock me down each time I stand up. All I know to do is keep getting up, no matter how much you think you can’t get up again…..get up!!!
ReplyI haven’t got the debt, but I have got the Moobs! I have my own SEO agency and that is down to you, your training and your software – long may it continue.
P.S. Feels like a book or a screen play in this story – just an idea!
ReplyThanks for the note. Moobs can be cured- I’m living proof! It’s all in the diet – I’ll probably interview someone in the future on diet, exercise for business
ReplyDerek , I’m I true follower of you and do highly respect you.You have written some great post as of late that really resonate to me. The problem is I think you have missed a couple key points about being more understanding to others that are going through the exact same trails as you have and just not been able to turn the tides as you have done,so admirably. I Hurt reading this,and also get mad knowing that you have been there like myself ,and still play this cold as ice game when reaching out to you.I know its up to me to make these changes in my own life and I’m trying so hard by reaching out to you. There is alot of anger going through my mind when I read these things from all the so called gurus that claim these amazing informational stories of their success.. But when you attempt to reach out to them including you they simply become like all the other nay sayers as you have explained so beautifully in this article..Just one more put down..I am not looking for anyone to fix my problems because I know God will lead me the way no matter what happens to you in your life.. But it would be nice to see someone give back and understand when someone is at the END and really hurting.. and maybe just maybe open up and take of their Mask they are wearing to HELP Someone…See I have gone through 10 times more than you could ever have gone through in your lifetime and 10 other peoples lifetime just in my 1st 20 years on this planet…And Now I just turned 53 and lost everything I loved and cherished so much over the last 24-36 months..And I’m still fighting in the biggest battle of my Life! “MY MIND”….My Family and friends may or may not even know that I’m going through this because I don’t share this with them. I’m So blessed with what I have left in this world to Love Still . I never ask no one for hand outs because of my pride. I do feel anyone one can preservere and over come any obstacle placed in front of them.I have gone without food for my growing boys and my very sick daughter, and even filed for food stamps and was denied ..When people from other countries they come here and get health care and food right away ..This is I whole other story How I feel….Bottom Line is I Know I’m so talented that it just blows my mind why I am so stuck .. Right Now! I know people reading this will say I’m negative but I am really am being so positive through because all I do is read and study to become a better person and stronger with my commitment to WIN… and this is what Drives me Today working 14-18 hrs a day on my comeback my dream ….and this major informational change I am going through. I just need help in this final stage, and no one out there gives a Dam…. about anyone anymore you say to you don’t forget this struggle,,, But I think you have since you now have change your situation around, and that is super for you and your family. Please don’t take this wrong because I really thought of you this way on how you wrote this awesome article. I had to express myself…for the last Time…Good Luck All.. and God Bless! DREAM BIG..
ReplyNot many people discuss the dark days and that’s what this is for – to provide hope, and how we pulled it off with a blueprint.
Use that creativity and awesomeness you mentioned to bring value to your clients and to the world. The time you took to write this out could have been used to draft a new article, create a squeeze page, or come up with a new ad to bring in revenue and clients.
Just something to think about 🙂 Wishing you the best and most success.
ReplyDerek, good stuff. Feels like you have an ebook coming on. I have been through many of the challenges you write about, weight loss, quit smoking, finance issues etc etc. One of my most defining moments was when I attended Tony Robbins’ Unleash The Power Within several years ago.
Shortly afterwards, I quit smoking, my business flourished, lost weight etc etc. That was several years ago and I need a refresher!! After you have done the firewalk on UPW, you feel like you can do anything! LOL
More recently, took a beating from Google over affiliate sites during Penguin/Panda and never quite recovered…….yet.
Made some serious changes in my diet 6 months ago, lost a lot of weight, BP back to normal and feeling very energetic!! Just feeling a bit overwhelmed, as lots to do, and good help Is hard to find, as there are so many flaky providers out there, who are not serious!
Anyway, I have always believed in myself and never give up, so I will win. Just takes time.
Good for you Peter. No ebook in the plans – planning a book on amazon soon though.
Becoming more active and pushing more content in the space 🙂
Funny you mention the firewalk. I did the fire breathing at a Marshall Sylver event – instantly felt like I could overcome the world. I need to do that again. Be sure to hit me up on Periscope and Twitter – this is the scope I did today -http://katch.me/derekpierce
ReplyTHANKS for taking the time to help and motivate many people. Everyone has dark days, but you crawled and clawed your way out of one deep hole!
I wish you continued success in all that you pursue
