Mario Brown Video (Massive Imperfect Action)

You’ve probably heard of Mario Brown of Internet marketing fame.

But what a lot of people don’t know is how tough his early years were, and what he overcame to become the “guru” he currently is.

I met him at a Warrior Forum event, and he asked if he could tell his story at my upcoming Earn1KaDay seminar in 2012, and I was thrilled at the opportunity.

I didn’t know what to expect, but I have to tell you, I (along with a large number in the audience) was emotionally overcome when I heard his story.

It’s inspirational. It’s informative. It’s possible that you want to follow in the path he originally took to earn big money in IM, and for those reasons, the 57 minutes or so you’ll spend watching this video will be well spent. Trust me, watch the video, don’t just read the transcript, so that you get full effect out of this.
