After overcoming poverty, child abuse, rape, teen pregnancy, and near death, Amanda Goldman-Petri was able to persevere and grow 5 successful businesses by the age of 27. After perfecting her system for growing businesses, Amanda began her coaching career as founder of MarketLikeANerd.com, where she teaches coaches how to grow multiple 6-figure businesses without the hustle or sacrifice.

After generating over half a million dollars in sales in 4 months and expanding her business to 31 different countries, Amanda became internationally renowned as the “Work Smarter, Not Harder” Online Marketing Coach.

While she was happy with her own results, Amanda realized true success as a coach is dependent on your client’s results. She therefore shifted her attention to how she could make a bigger impact in her clients’ businesses and lives. This led to her invention of a series of quick cash injection campaigns that her clients used to generate nearly a million dollars in sales in less than 60 days.

Amanda has been featured on major media outlets such as Fast Company, Forbes, The Huffington Post, Small Business Trendsetters, ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, Worth Magazine, International Business Times (and more). She was named one of the Top 30 Entrepreneurs Under 30 by Influencive, as well as an Under 30 Up and Comer by The Tampa Bay Business Journal.

Bio

An entrepreneurial underdog since day one, raised in a broke, blue-collar family. Perceived as a dumb kid that was never given a chance. Although everyone doubted him, he believed in himself.

It all started 23 years ago, Zack’s grandma sent him a birthday check for 100 dollars, the same price of a lawnmower. That’s when Zack had an itch, an itch to do more with his life. At a time when his family couldn’t afford a new lawnmower, he took the check and bought a lawnmower.

Rather than just mow his lawn, he chose mow the lawns of his neighbors. In the lawn care world, as soon as you spot an ugly lawn, you’ve identified a potential customer. So, he walked up as a young 10 year old and knocked on the doors of those houses. “Hi, I’m Zack your neighbor, your lawn needs to be mowed, can I cut it for 15 bucks?” For the past 23 years, Zack has modeled his life the same way. Find the problem, do the job, get the cash.

If you don’t find the right target customer, you’d be just like Zack listening to his mom when he was in 7th grade. He was told he was a marvelous singer, by his mother. Taking that comment to heart, he thought he’d be a good candidate to join the Junior High School’s chorus. But, his mother wasn’t basing her opinion on any professional singing experience, she just did what all loving mothers do, and gave blind encouragement. 

So, Zack went to the chorus audition, ready to blow the judges away with his brilliant singing, only to be stopped short by one of the judges who called his singing “terrible.” Instead of singing in front of someone who would give real feedback, Sharon Miller provided the love a mother does.

Business is different than a mother’s love. Zack needed the truth. One of the most important keys to business is getting in front of the right people. Zack’s mom, was not his target customer, so she didn’t give him valuable insight. Just like if you’re building an app to help chefs, you should only try to get feedback and insight from chefs who would use the product. Not your brother-in-law who considers himself a foodie.

Zack has hit rock bottom a lot. And not just in 7th grade learning he sucks at singing.

• He started an accelerator before they were overplayed and everywhere, raised cash from the team who started the Weather Channel and AutoTrader and a bunch of old white guys, invested in 13 companies and fell flat on his face. Basically losing all of their money from the fund.
• He tried throwing a national conference and lost $50k

Fast forward to 2010. Zack was growing a technology company and he didn’t know what to do next. Where to network, how to get more clients or even how to convince prospects he knew what he was talking about. And to be honest, he didn’t. Yet. He was fresh into his rejuvenated career in business after leaving the world of journalism.

Although he didn’t have a business degree or “business” skills, he had the street smarts. He was hungry, and willing and he immersed himself into the business world. Specifically, startups.

His business network started at 0. Slowly but surely, he was able to build meaningful relationships with powerful people. He was making a name for himself in the business community by hosting his own events and meetups.

This paid off when he became the youngest person on the Inside Business Power List and featured in Entrepreneur Magazine as a contributor to the rise of the Norfolk Startup Community.

He did this by listening, meeting and hustling. By learning from others and raising his hand when an opportunity arose. Zack knew that business would be tough, but if he stuck around patiently and went after his goals, he would accomplish them.

Zack helped build the startup community in Norfolk from ground zero. But, he noticed that a lot of the best companies started in Hampton Roads were leaving for other cities, and bringing the region’s best talent with them. So, he started traveling around the country other small business communities to see what they were doing to help facilitate entrepreneurship and growth for young companies.

Also, He started several meetups with different groups of people so that they could learn from each other and hopefully facilitate some growth in their perspective areas. One for entrepreneurs, one for designers, one for developers, etc. Then he thought, “What if we got all of these people into the same room, and held a business competition.” And then, Start Norfolk was born.

Start Norfolk was an event where people would pitch ideas they had for a business. Then a panel of judges would decide which ideas were best. From there. the winning ideas would build teams of designers, developers, marketers, etc. to bring that idea to life over the span of a few days.

Miller had hoped that the first event would bring in 50 people. To his surprise, 180 people showed up, and 40 different ideas were pitched. Zack organized 5 of these events over the course of the next few years. The event had thousands of people show up, and hundreds of businesses were pitched, some of which are still alive and thriving today.

After more and more companies started buying memberships to 1000 Four, Zack had another brilliant idea. He noticed that the majority of the companies joining 1000 Four were local to Southeastern Virginia. He thought about ways to expand into other communities around the country, and 1000 Four Communities (1FC) was born.

1FC gives organizations, schools, and cities across the country access to the resources and online community that will help them grow the businesses in their own communities.

       Owner of FreeeUp and Help Online Businesses, Agencies and E-Commerce Companies Get Fast Access to Top Freelancers

Video Interview

Bio

Nathan Hirsch is the Founder and CEO of FreeeUp, a marketplace connecting business owners with the top 1% of freelancers in eCommerce, digital marketing, web development, and much more.

He built FreeeUp to address his frustrations. FreeeUp receives hundreds of freelancer applicants each week to join the marketplace. They interview and vet them, take the top 1% (based on skill, attitude and communication), and make them available to their clients quickly whenever they need them. On the backend, they have 24/7 support to make sure people have a good experience. Lastly, they have a no turnover guarantee covering replacement costs if the freelancer ever quits. They have been growing rapidly since they started three years ago and work with thousands of business all over the world.

In 2006, Nathan founded his first online venture out of his college dorm room, selling and buying student textbooks. He rapidly scaled his e-commerce business, bootstrapping from a $20 student – cause initiative to a multi-million dollar e-tailer clocking in revenues in excess of $30 million on Amazon across a 6 year period while serving over 10,000 customers.

He have never had a “real job” besides being a high-school Intern at Aaron’s Inc, a large retailer headquartered out of Atlanta, GA and later with Firestone Corporation in 2006 where he successfully handled a whole suite of critical deliverables from exceeding sales targets, leading the District Credit Card Sales process and managing critical customer touch points. The intensive Customer Service Training at Firestone inspired me to incorporate key elements into both Portlight and FreeeUp.

Honesty, integrity, ethics and superlative customer experience have always been the four professional cornerstones of his success.

        An expert in SEO, Content Marketing and the Founder of Ardor SEO

Video Interview

Bio

“My name is Kris Reid. I am a Software Engineer, originally from Brisbane where I graduated from the Queensland University of Technology (A university for the real world).

I was backpacking around the world a few years ago and because of my love for software development, I built an online game.  As the completion day came near for the game I made, I thought that I should learn how to market if anyone else is ever going to play with it. So, I started studying how Google works and learned about Search Engine Optimisation. I quickly discovered how important backlinks are – not just any backlinks, but only quality backlinks with relevant and compelling content on powerful industry-specific websites.

Then, I set out to build the perfect service to provide just that – high-quality backlinks with compelling content on industry-specific websites.

Fast forward a few years later, I now have a permanent office based here in Davao City, Philippines. It’s a quiet beach-side city that gives me access to virtually-unlimited skilled writers, editors, and content marketers to provide essentially limitless amounts of super high-quality powerful backlinks.”

Ardor was founded by Kris Reid, an Australian entrepreneur with a degree in Software Engineering from Queensland University of Technology.

After obtaining his degree in 2006, Kris decided to scratch his itchy feet by heading off to London. During his time in London, Dublin and Brussels, Kris worked under contract with Euroclear, Visa Europe and Sony Research & Development.

These development positions were ideal for Kris to become battle hardened in the real world of software engineering, finance, commerce and contracting.

The global financial crisis hit Europe very hard so Kris headed back to Australia where he developed an online game called Mob Warrior. Having completed the game, the one thing which all site owners need to face is how to get people to find the site and sign up to play it.

“This is when I first began to learn about SEO, meta data, title tags, content, keywords and links” says Kris.

He went on to explain: “Links were my initial focus, they fascinated me. Google rely quite a lot on links to indicate which site has more authority than another. Of course links are not the only thing Google relies on but regardless of fashion and what some experts claim, links are just as important now as they ever were”

With that in mind Kris built a linking service which is still a mainstay of Ardor SEO. The business began to grow as more and more clients came onboard.

To accommodate the growth and to keep the competitive edge which Ardor enjoys, Kris moved to Davao city, Philippines in January 2013.

He opened an office and moved the staff who had been working from home into the office.

The next big addition to Ardor was content, so Ardor Content was born with an army of English speaking writers and editors. Kris invented a unique user rating system to ensure only top quality writers remained on the team. This has ensured great content is the standard. Software engineers and managers were added to stabilize the growth and to maintain the high standards while the company grew at a phenomenal rate.

Next stop was Phnom Penh, Cambodia where Ardor opened another office in order to gain better access to expats in South East Asia. More management was added as well as a sales team, accountant, social media experts and more content and graphics staff. Now that the company has been fleshed out with professionals in all the key areas and has a proven track record of getting results it was time to consolidate all aspects under one banner, one site.

Ardor SEO provides professional services in Reputation engineering, Authority marketing, SEO, Social media response and outsourced first response services.

Bio

A former gym teacher turned serial entrepreneur, Ryan Lee is the co-author of The Worst-Case Scenario Business Survival Guide (Wiley, 2009) and Mastering the World of Marketing (Wiley, 2009).

Ryan Lee is an entrepreneur, best-selling author, speaker, success coach and the founder of ryanlee.com.  He started his first web site back in 1999. He grew that one fitness site into a multi-million dollar empire.  Ryan is the author of 2 books “The Millionaire Workout” and “Turn Your Passion to Profits”.  There is simply so much more, but I will now turn it over to the man, the myth, the legend, Ryan Lee.

He created his first web site back in 1999 to promote his part-time personal training business (he still had a full-time job at a Children’s Rehab hospital). But things really took off when he turned that simple site into a paid membership program.

Since then, he’s created over FIFTY different recurring revenue programs in multiple markets. Everything from membership sites and paid newsletters to subscription boxes, software and consumables.

You might have seen him featured on the front page of The Wall Street Journal or as a contributor to Entrepreneur. Or, perhaps, you read one of his books.

But what Ryan is most proud of is his ability to build businesses around his “lifestyle”. He is always done by 3pm so he can spend unlimited time with his wife and four children.

Now, Ryan has taken all his resources. Tapped into his deep network. And created the most complete training resource for anyone looking to turn their ideas into “continuity” income.

Bio

Whether the task is helping your company learn how to grow through savvy use of business blogging and associated social networks and new media, making a formal presentation to a packed auditorium of professionals on any of a variety of business or technical topics, leading a class of adult learners, or writing a business or technical book for neophytes, Intuitive Systems founder Dave Taylor’s central focus remains the same: to explain complex concepts and technologies in a way that lets you gain insight into the subject.

My primary focus is to continue my work as a strategic marketing consultant with client companies, helping them understand the opportunities (and risks) associated with online social networks. While most of my clients are smaller startups, I also enjoy working with larger companies that have the budget to do wonderful things but lack the chutzpah to jump in and get wet. In addition, I have dozens of speaking enagements already booked, including keynote speeches and workshops at major industry conferences, and am always interested in opportunities to spread the gospel, as it were.

My primary publishing venues are online, which should be no surprise. The flagship blog is my popular Ask Dave Taylor! blog, a free tech support and business discussion Q&A site with topics ranging from Windows troubleshooting, Facebook tips and tricks, getting the most out of your iPhone, iPad or other gadgets to job interview techniques and reviews of tech gadgets and gizmos.

If you’re a parent like I am, you’ll also be interested in my GoFatherhood site. Discussions on the site range from discipline to dealing with bullies, learning styles and paying allowance, to why you shouldn’t cheat on your spouse and the dangers of cyber-romances. If it involves the journey of parenting, divorce or post-divorce parenting, I’ve probably written about it at some point! Pop over to the site and find out why it’s cool — and often darn tough — to be a father in this modern world. I’ll give you a clue, though: parenting isn’t something that your nanny or full-time babysitter can offer because you’re too busy working…

Into movies or curious about the business of film production and distribution? Then you won’t want to miss my film blog: Dave On Film. In addition to reviewing new blockbuster movies, I also occasionally write about film theory and industry news too.

Book-wise, my most recently published works are The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Growing Your Business with Google (from Penguin), which offers every entrepreneur and business person hundreds of great ideas on how to increase your presence online, Learning Unix for Mac OS X (from O’Reilly Media), a great and blessedly succinct guide to getting started with the Unix inside your Mac, and Wicked Cool Shell Scripts (from NoStarch Press), 101 fun and informative shell scripts for Unix, Linux and Mac OS X systems.

If you’re part of the world of academia, you might find me guest lecturing at the University of Colorado, Boulder, Regis University, and the University of Denver, Daniels School of Business.

Looking to connect with me on a social network or two? You can find my outposts in the wilderness at DaveTaylorOnline.com.

I’m a storyteller, whether through the written word, video, on stage as a public speaker, or as a teacher and educator. Every company, every product has a story. Are you telling yours?

I help companies realize the potential of reimagining their business, reinventing their company, and embracing the potential of Internet-based Web, social media and other forms of two way communication to establish themselves as thought leaders and experts in their industry.

Specialties: Extensive experience in technical and management issues, ranging from academic experience – with an MS Education and an MBA – to startup work – I’ve founded, grown and sold three startups – to writing and public speaking. I have a wide range of talents and can work equally well with a small group of top-level executives in a strategic planning meeting or running a technical or marcom workshop for 500 people. I am an excellent communicator, top-notch speaker and great writer.

Ask Dave Taylor is primarily written by Dave Taylor, but the staff includes a variety of other people, including Gareth and Ashley Taylor. Gareth focuses on gaming and high performance laptops while Ashley is a photographer and deals with photo software, hardware and accessories. Additional contributors include Gary Moskoff, Steve Loyola, Klaus Holzapfel, Paul M. Bowers and Thomas and Deb Frey.

The company is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado.

Now, who’s this Dave guy anyway?

Thanks for asking! Let’s see… I’ve been in the computer industry since 1980, believe it or not, and have been online since before the beginning of the Internet. Some say that it wasn’t Al Gore but me who actually invented the Internet, but between Bob Metcalfe, Vint Cerf, Jon Postel, Tim Berners-Lee and many others, we all contributed – big steps or little – to the amazing tool it is today.

I have a number of academic credentials if that’s interesting to you, including a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science from the University of California, San Diego, a Master’s in Education from Purdue University, and a Master’s in Business Administration from University of Baltimore, Merrick School of Business. I generally skip the alphabet soup after my name, though.

On the business side, I have created and launched four Internet related startups, the first of which was The Internet Mall. The original one. Long since vanished into obscurity, of course, but I was definitely part of the dot-com bubble and in addition to my own startups I served on the board of a number of different small companies (and continue to do so today) and have worked with various investment and venture capital firms as a due diligence analyst and even an entrepreneur in residence.

In parallel, I learned to write, and write I did. Twenty books. Thousands of magazine and newspaper articles. Today I continue to write both online and off, including being published in the Boulder Daily Camera, the Boulder Weekly, Linux Journal, and Colorado Business Magazine. No books in the pipeline, though, but I write forewords for a few books a year still: if you’re looking for someone to write your foreword, drop me a note!

I’m a frequent – and award-winning – public speaker who goes to a lot of trade and professional conferences every year. I’ve run large conferences, I’ve given dozens of keynote talks, moderated panels, argued on panels, and done just about every other job necessary to keep a conference running smoothly. I teach at a variety of colleges and private institutions, and in addition to helping run two weekly podcasts I also used to co-host an AM-radio phone-in computer show on AM760 here in Colorado.

I now split my time between free tech support here on AskDaveTaylor, fatherhood and parenting discussions on the popular GoFatherhood and film reviews on DaveOnFilm.com site. Along with a zillion other things.

Looking to find me in your favorite social network? The best bet is to start with my cheatsheet page at DaveTaylorOnline.com, or just pop directly to my Google Plus account.

She currently lives in Montreal with her husband, Frederic, and their two boys, Alexander and Maxim.

I am like a lot of people, actually: I’m in my early 40s. I’m married. I am the mother of two boys, ages three and four. I have a busy life, a household to run, and a full time job (several of them, actually ). I have lived through a divorce, my sister’s suicide, and the open heart surgery of my newborn son. I am also a New York Times bestselling author of three books, the founder of an internationally acclaimed coaching academy, and the creator of a library of personal development programs that reach over 125,000 people each month.

I am passionately in love with my husband, Frederic, who is also my business partner. I take time out every day to laugh with, talk with, and roll around on the floor with my kids. I work out regularly, get a massage every Saturday, take fantastic vacations, and have plenty of “me” time to dream, to go out with friends, or to kick back and just do nothing.

Oh yeah, and I’m also making more money than I ever dreamed possible!

Just in case you’re wondering; this was not always my reality!

In fact, just seventeen years ago, I was unhappy with virtually every aspect of my life. I was thirty pounds overweight and nearly $60,000 in debt. I worked at a job I hated, and had a knack for attracting the “wrong” kind of men. I tried everything I could think of to change the circumstances of my life, believing that affecting outer change was the key to being inwardly happy. Nothing worked, and as a result, my life felt like a constant, uphill struggle.

So, how did I get from where I was then to where I am today? The answer is simple: I learned about the Universal Laws that govern deliberate creation, I applied them in my life, and I immediately began manifesting all the things I had ever wanted – spontaneously and effortlessly.

Today, my mission and passion is teaching others how to engage these universal principles – the Laws of Attraction, Abundance, and Allowing, to name a few – to attract their ideal partners, create their ideal bodies, become more empowered parents to their children, and magnetize success and abundance in every part of their lives. Through my books, seminars, coaching programs and weekly newsletters, I will show you how to manifest whatever it is you desire – not by teaching you theories, but by sharing the true-to-life turnaround moments that marked my transformation and the transformations of all those I have worked with.

Luca starts reading Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki at 22. By finding out how to combine metaphysical principles with brutally practical marketing strategies, Luca De Stefani becomes financially independent by his 24th birthday.
