What a great honor it is to celebrate the birthday of our American hero Dr. Martin Luther King

In today's climate, the days, where true stand up heros are few and far between, Dr. King reminds us of the power we ALL have.

Today, to give your life for what you believe in is seen by most to be insane.

Instead we whine and complain, post on blogs or just try to pretend the ugliness of the world doesn't exist.

Dr. King's legacy has lived on because he took a stand that he knew might cost him his life.

That is a MAN! 100%.

So the next time you feel bothered by a injustice, stand up an fight. You might just amaze yourself.

Feel free to post your thoughts on Dr. King below

Perry Belcher Turns The Page

Dear Friends,

Today I decided to end my career as an internet marketing trainer. I have told so many of my students that when your 1% unhappy it’s time to get out. Now it’s time to follow my own advice.

Over the last 18 months or so I have had the privilege to meet and work with some of the coolest, kindest, most generous people I have ever known. I have truly enjoyed sharing my knowledge of internet marketing and social media marketing with each and every one of you.

So why would I quit? There are several reasons, but here are a few…

First, training and coaching, for me, is an all encompassing business. I took on every client’s challenges as my own and and my time with my family has been very limited since I began on this path. I look very forward to focusing on just being dad and a husband for a while.

Secondly, while there are a great many people who have shown me a great deal of love, there are a few that have shown a heavy dose of hate and anger, partially because of my past. This group has unfortunately been much more vocal and harsh.

While I can take reasonable criticism, today I have concerns for my safety and the safety of family.

Third, I remembered that it’s much more fun and profitable to be a marketer than it is to teach internet marketing…a truth that someone had to hit me over the head to help me remember.

So, that being said I need to make a clean break….

I have asked that all my internet marketing training products be removed from the market.

I am in the process of removing all internet marketing related materials form my blogs.

Over the next bit of time I will be reverting my social media connections back to close personal friends.

I will have canceled all future internet marketing and social media speaking opportunities and will not accept new ones.

In short, I am taking my life back to private.

My current clients will be supported by Ryan Deiss’ company, Infomastery, but I will be creating no new internet marketing trainings and I have canceled all future speaking engagements regarding internet marketing.

For any current customers and clients who are still owed coaching/consulting from me, I will still be hanging around for as long as it takes to make sure that you are taken care of. In other words, while my public persona will more or less vanish, I’ll still be helping you privately and WILL NOT violate prior agreements. (NOTE: This includes “Social Media Money System” customers who are owed coaching calls with me.)

If you have any questions or concerns about any of this, please contact customer support at: support@drivingtraffic.com

…or by phone at: 512-600-4363

I appreciate your care and understanding and I wish each and every one of you great success in your future endeavors.

Sincerely,
Perry Belcher

Perry Belcher Shocking Confession

Here is how I got started on Twitter, Facebook etc…

I know most of the marketing community knows part of this story but I think everyone needs to hear the WHOLE story.

I got in a ton of trouble some time back for marketing dietary supplements. That’s why I tell every client today to steer clear of this industry. Regulations are rigid and if you get very big the pharmaceutical machine will crush you, no matter what you do.

Truth is I believed in every product I sold. I think I read every book in existence on alternative health, hired medical association presidents as consultants & even got FDA licensed. (see below) In the end none of that mattered.

My local county government in Tennessee closed my business, smeard my reputation and took away everything I had in the world…except my knowledge.

I can’t be in any health related businesses and have to report all my activities regularly to the courts including travel, products created etc… Bottom line, I walk the straight and narrow.

The good news is this never has to happen to you. It never had to happen to me. Truth is when you really learn transparent marketing you can market anything successfully, without hype, lies or tricks.

Facts:

I have made some major mistakes in the past.
I should have never entered the health business solely based on what I believed to be true.
I am VERY sorry if I ever harmed anyone, it was never my intent.
I realize now how stupid and irresponsible I was.
This was one mistake out of a career of business successes.
I will never tell anything less than 100% FACT BASED truth till the day I die.

I made this video as soon as I got started in social media to be 100% transparent about my past.

If you’ve ever made a mistake you wish you could take back I’m sure you’ll understand.

Sometimes you just can’t put the shit back in the horse.

Perry Belcher: 7 Core Principles of Success

Success isn’t reserved for a privilege few. It results from cultivating certain positive habits and following through consistently. Every single person has the capability to be successful in every area of his or her life. Successful people adopts a certain personality profile. They think, talk and act in certain particular ways. All of which can be condensed into 7 success principles. Act on them with faith, persistence and determination and in no time you will become a winner like other successful people! Here are the 7 success principles:

Success Principle # 1 – Set a clear vision.

This is the starting point to success. Think through and develop a clear vision of what exactly you want to achieve in your life. One example is you want to be a surgeon and carry this vision in your mind at all times.

Success Principle # 2 – Define your goal.

The vision you set is the ultimate destination which in this example is to be a surgeon. The goal sets the journey, both long and short term, you need to take in order to arrive at the destination. Using the example assuming you have just completed your secondary education, what you need to do next is to enroll in a course in a junior college that on completion will qualify you to pursue a course in medicine in a university.

Other consideration for the short term journey includes the need to obtain or set aside the necessary finance to complete your medical studies in the university. These are the short term goals you need to formulate after thinking through in order for you to arrive at your final destination. Short term goals are like the resources you need to reach your final destination. Your goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely. They are the stepping-stones toward the realization of your vision.

Success Principle # 3 – Plan your work and work your plan.

Work out a plan of action to reach both the short and long term goals. Break down your plan into smaller tasks or units especially if the task is too big. Sometimes you have to take a detour or longer time to reach one of your journeys. It’s ok. Do it. Example if you did not do well in one subject in junior college which is a compulsory subject for admission to the university medical course, you may have to do supplementary studies or repeat that subject. Be conscious of your vision at all times. When you act with faith, determination, persistence and in alignment with your short and long term goals there is only one outcome – success in achieving your vision.

Success Principle # 4 – Commit to action.

Make a firm commitment to action. Once you take action, stay committed and never give up. Once you deter in your commitment, your belief becomes shaky and unstable. If you do that, your effort would just fall off like a deck of cards. You would have wasted all your time and energy you have invested on your efforts. So stay committed.

Never give up until you have achieved what you desire. Take on every obstacle that you may encounter in your stride. Faith and persistence are keys to success. Treat every failure or obstacle as a learning experience or opportunity.

Success Principle # 5 – Use positive affirmations.

Form and write your positive affirmations that supports the vision you have set in # 1 using short positive direct phrases in the present tense only. Make a habit of repeating affirmations several times each day especially just before sleeping (while lying on bed) and just waking (but still in bed). Say and repeat your affirmations mentally or aloud if it doesn’t disturb others. This will help to maintain your faith and persistence!

Success Principle # 6 – Eliminate negative influences.

Stay away from negative influences such as negative people, books, articles and etc. Surround yourself with things and people that boost your belief that you will succeed.

Believe without any doubt that you would achieve your dream. Believe in a higher power residing in self that has been giving you whatever you need.

Success Principle # 7 – Maintain an attitude of gratitude.

Have faith that your vision is becoming a reality. Look around you and be grateful for things that you already have such as a home, loving family, etc. Just stay grateful. Give your time, money and service to others in need. Be kind and generous to all.

Now you know the 7 principles of success. Act on them with faith, persistence and determination and you will soon be one of the successful people.

Everyone owns the birth right and inborn ability to achieving success and wealth. The difference that stands between the rich and you is a secret to a set of habits which the rich followed consistently. The secret habits once learnt will become second nature to you. In no time, you too will achieve success and become rich.
