As the contest turned from day one into day two (it ended up being 3 days total), more and more people came forward to claim one of the prizes. I noticed that during this time, Randy kept posting comments in the thread that were positive and showed his continued interest. This was smart. Everyone could see that Randy REALLY wanted it.
On the other side of things, successful warriors kept jumping in to donate their time, products and services. Keith decided to offer two packages instead of one. A while later, he came back and announced that there were enough generous offers to create 4 individual coaching and product packages.
Woo wee!
While I could tell that Randy desperately wanted one of those packages, he always came across as cheerful, and just grateful to be a part of it all. Remember, folks, the Warrior Forum is a great place, but if people don’t know who you are, they can’t directly help you. By participating in the thread, Randy was winning votes, as well as, many new friends.
When the winners were announced, Randy’s name was at the top of the list. He sums up his reaction in two words: “It’s unbelievable!”
Randy won Package #1, which includes: a free War Room membership, expert business plan, niche research and marketing coaching (Steve Wagenheim), 3 years of free hosting (Keith Boisvert), 2 domain names, a PLR, articles and ebook package, Niche Hunter Formula (Garry M Sayer), newbie’s pack of guides and 30 minutes of coaching (Bev Clement), backlinking software (Icansoft), free keyword research and a press release, Minisite Graphic Shop, mind mapping software, one hour phone coaching and free marketing bootcamp memberships (Jeremy Kelsall), Money Smarts report and a special secret surprise from VegasVince.
While Randy is extremely appreciative of the entire package he won, he’s most looking forward to the personal coaching. He feels he needs someone to be there holding him accountable for the actions that he takes. In fact, Randy’s already started working with both Steve W and Bev.
He knows that both of them are hard taskmasters who won’t take any B.S. from him. Steven promises to work Randy to the bone and has already given him a HUGE assignment. Oh boy, we’re off to the races!
Randy’s not quite sure exactly where his current Internet Marketing adventures will take him. He’s still figuring things out and will take the advice of his coaches seriously. A year from now, he’d like to have his own IM business featuring his own products. He also wants to have plenty of affiliates promoting his products, while he, in turn, helps them to become successful in their own right.
Randy believes: “ . . . the more successful they are – the more successful I am.”
We all look forward to watching Randy find his way, and bloom into the successful online business person he truly desires to be.
Good Luck, Randy!

While His California Dream May Have Gotten a Little Stale, this Laid Off Draftsman is Ready for a Fresh Start
Randy is originally from Southern California (Whittier), where he enjoyed hanging out at the beach. After high school, he joined the U.S. Army and spent a year at the Presidio studying Russian translation. His Russian is now rusty, but he may still be able to throw out a few words here and there.
After the military, he moved to Salt Lake City, got married and had a daughter. During this time, he bought his very first computer: an Atari 400. Now, that’s really bringing back the memories for some of the old timers. Randy got divorced and lived in Dallas, Texas for a while. He eventually moved back to Southern California.
He spent 6 years teaching electronics at ITT, then moved on to ComTech for Pacific Bell. This shows that Randy was on the cusp of the computer age, while our society moved into a new era of technology.
While living in Newport Beach (one of my favorite So. Cal places), Randy reconnected with an old friend from high school. They ended up getting married and Randy moved permanently to Northern California (near the Oregon border).
Having left his former income behind, he now was faced with finding work in a small town. Randy was able to secure a job as an AutoCAD draftsman, but, unfortunately, he was laid off last April. For Randy, there are no other offline options for someone with his skills. So, he jumped into Internet Marketing head-first, and promptly lost $7,000.
Ouch.
Now, before you assume that he got suckered in by get rich quick schemes, let me tell you that this isn’t the case. Randy had the smarts to study well-known IM names like Perry Belcher, Harris Fellman and Ryan Deiss, to name a few.
He tried Commission Blueprint and was able to draw traffic and make some sales. He set up a Twitter account and attracted 13,000 followers. He built several link rings around popular products and, for a short time, got his pages to the top of Google rankings. He’s also briefly been a member of SEnuke.
So far so good, right?
Wrong.
Randy is still spinning his wheels online. It’s like this: He’s got a nice car and has the engine all revved up, but he just isn’t going anywhere. All of his online activities have, so far, led to dead ends. Case in point? His Twitter accounts have been suspended. Now, Randy has really hit a wall. His wife has a busy dog grooming business, but she is overworked and running out of steam fast.
The couple has maxed out their credit cards and watched their savings dwindle down to nothing. For Randy, it’s really do or die time.
Randy thinks he may have first heard about the Warrior Forum (WF) from studying Jim Cockrum’s Silent Sales Machine course. He’s not quite sure, though. Regardless, he made his way there after a year of fruitless projects. Now, he’s grateful that he’s found a community that includes people who will share their time and talent helping people like him.
Right now, Randy needs to bring in enough income to pay the bills. So, when he saw that Keith Boisvert had posted up a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity to get free coaching, and a bunch of other goodies, he had to give it a shot.
Randy is a proud man, so he debated on whether or not to go public with his need for help. But, once he decided to go for it, his contest entry reveals a man who is hard working, yet desperately in need of some personal coaching.
