As Always buddy… You have been saying this for so long… I’m glad you told it like it is to everybody. You have never wavered from your principles of this industry. They speak for itself. Your Free Rants are worth more than the value of 10,000 dollar product launches because it promotes the proper activity and the right mindset.

“I’m a network marketer and David Wood was my idea”…LOL

Dave, I agree 100% in what you are telling us in this video. Great post. I have wasted a lot of time listening to too many people. But the good news is that I found you. Not even sure how. Here are the things I know for sure, you are a great teacher and you give us so much information for free. I am focussing on staying tuned into you and what you have tought us which is how to generate leads and make money. That is what it is all about. I thank you so much. Keep being you and I look forward to earning your friendship.

This seem to be a major problem. I think if people would think outside the box and stay focused with things this would’nt happen as much.

I fall for alot of these launches myself. Sense I found

Stay focused!

I love it! Great content as always and right on point. You must have been reading my mind as I was thinking about all the launches going on right now. They’re happening just about everyday over the past few weeks. They don’t really bother me I just have to stay focused on what I need to do. Thanks for all you do.

You know I rarely comment. This is the best video you’ve ever made. As a network marketer (multimillion producer) and not an affiliate marketer, I spend my time building a future not making piddly e-book sales. Broadcasting product launches freezes your downline into destructive inactivity. It’s not worth it to play into some crappy “gurus” game!

Man you get my nipples hard every time I see you. I can’t stand all the launches that just take valuable time away from people. People? More like mindless zombie sheep following the shepheard. People just get way too caught up with the learning and studying and getting ready to get ready.

I can’t wait to meet you dude.

Ahhh…there is so much wisdom and truth in this video. Thx for saying exactly what I’ve been thinking lately.

I got a spare email just to get on lists to see what others are doing and it’s hard to keep up with that. It almost feels like there’s a few top marketers that keep making money off the masses who aren’t in the trenches providing value like you.

If you’re into scifi – check out Dr. Who & Torchwood. Two of my favs.

David,

I couldn’t agree with you more. People look outside of themselves for the answer, looking for the “missing key” and like you said, if they just stay focused on one strategy until they get the desired results, they would become wildly successful.

I like your style. Thanks for this reminder to everyone.

Be blessed,

Oh man David, you just gave away the only real secret… There are no secrets! Google is the master guru of this industry. For real. Look at it this way; It’s well known to many in this industry, that to be successful you have to give value to your people. You have to give away that which most would charge for. It’s the best way to show your own value and its the best way to display your expertise.

So, if there are thousands of marketers working from the “Give to Get” Business model, it just makes common sense that there will be a heck of a lot of free value oriented training on the internet. All you have to do is go out and find it, right?

Nice vid Dave. Keepin it real.

Thank you for your honesty, your integrity, for sticking in there for the long haul and for modeling the kind of leader I want to become. I’m with you bro. Let’s take it to the top together, the whole of us, as a team. Let us… “Despise not the day of small beginnings.” (Zech. 4:10), for where you are and we are now, whether great or small, is just the beginning.

David – I appreciate you so much. What I have learned from you in just a few DAYS I know is going to change life entirely for me and my family, and the many many people I currently (or will someday) work with.

This video is RIGHT ON! I was recently saying this myself to those I have business influence over: we’ve GOT to stop the “education madness” (as I put it) of webinar after webinar after live workshop after tv infomercial after whatever… and start consistently focusing on the simple steps of implementing what we ALREADY KNOW is going to bring us success. We don’t need more education, we need to take action on what we’ve learned… and help others to get off that merry-go-round as well.

Grace and Peace to you, my friend. ~ David

Very true, Dave. I have been burned many times with this. The worst part, as you so elequolently said, is that it takes a person’s focus off his/her goal.

Thanks for sharing such valuable insight. I will remember it when I receive future emails launches.

Wow! Dave,

You must have really struck a chord, haven’t seen this many comments in a while!

Anyway, just got back from a camping weekend and saw this. Love what you said about the distraction from the real goal. If people want to go out and make money from selling stuff then that is what they should do. But in the network marketing world leverage is KING. We leverage the internet to widen our sphere of influence to find people to present them with a message.

Stay cool!

Dave,

Totally agree with the message. Product launches, system launches, etc. are a huge distraction in this industry and can infact steal your list from you as well as distract your list from your valuable information they opted in for in the first place.

It can also cause a credibility issue on your end if your not careful about what you are promoting to your list.

Thank you for being real and just telling it how it is.

I have to say I am incredibly amazed at what you have accomplished in your life in such a short period of time. I think it was the 5 or 6 years of previous experience failing forward that let you into what you have today.

How big were those waves and where is the video or pics of them?

I’m with you on this one Dave. I could not have said this any better. You’re so right about staying focus on ONE thing and become a Jedi Ninja at it. It’s so easy to get sucked into the next best product that will solve all your current challenges, but I bet most of us Already own the product we’re looking for, just in a different package.

I decided earlier this week when my son sent me this, http://inboxzero.com/video/, that I was unsubscribing to ANYBODY who’s main purpose is to sell me something. I feel sorry for the a new person getting hit with all that hype. They wouldn’t know which way to go.

Thanks for putting that out there Dave.

Right on as always. I have this one guy as a friend on facebook and I would have to say he seems like a nice guy, but everytime you turn around he is promoting something different. I don’t see how he manages to keep track of whats going on with everything he is promoting. Hopefully he is keeping an eye on his bank account.
