Inspiration from a Man on a Serious Mission: The Millionaire Challenge
As you may know if you’ve read my blog before, I enjoy going to offline events where I get to meet and network with those who are creating the lives they want with internet marketing.
In fact, many of the best relationships I have online were formed at offline events, either randomly bumping into internet marketers or going there specifically to meet them. Some of the most interesting people are those marketers who are still ‘underground’, working away in the background, earning good money just doing their thing, not shouting about it.
Some of them are revealed on stage, but many are just walking amongst the crowds, unknown (for the moment). Ben Hulme is one example of an up-and-coming marketer who makes very good money online and who will doubtless be a star of internet marketing in the future.
However, I’m getting slightly off-topic…
One of the most remarkable marketers I’ve met was a quiet, unassuming guy I met at an offline event. The event was Mark Anastasi’s Clickbank Masterclass.
We chatted and he mentioned that he was bringing out a product or two in the very near future. I took his card and wished him luck with it.
There was an intensity about him that intrigued me. I couldn’t put my finger on what it was, but something in his eyes showed a fierce drive that I could identify with – A burning need to succeed.
I thought about him again when I saw his card on my desk a few days later. So, I decided to take a look at his site…
I should say at this point, to paraphrase Sir Mixalot, I like big goals and I cannot lie… (that’s a reference for all your rap fans).
Well, this guy’s goal is HUGE.
His name is Mark Lyford. He’s a former millionaire from the adult industry, turned criminal, turned prisoner… and now he has a massive goal:
To become a millionaire and rid himself of his debts.
I never normally write about or promote other people’s blogs, but this one is truly remarkable and I think that, like me, you will learn a lot from Mark’s incredible journey.
He blogs via video and occasionally written posts on a regular basis and looking back through his archives throws up some very interesting developments and lessons.

Enjoy Mark’s site and let me know what you think in the comments section below.

Thank you Matt for sharing this, what a facinating man and inspiration to have read.
Hey Penny, glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, Mark’s story is pretty incredible.
Wow Matt, thanks for the kind words mate
My pleasure Mark. Like I said to you on Facebook, I admire your honesty and drive. It inspires me to follow my own drive to build a successful IM business.
