Review 

Why do so many aspiring and hopeful Internet marketers never succeed? Why do they give up?

I've now personally been active in Internet Marketing since the mid-nineties. In that period I've seen numerous Internet marketers come and go.

Some of them 'disappeared' because they became so successful that they choose to semi-retired. They had done well enough to be able to live the life of their dreams.

But most of them 'disappeared' because they gave up. They just didn't know how to succeed, or they couldn't stand the distance.

In my experience the most widespread reason is psychological - or maybe even spiritual: People have problems with procrastination, fear, perfectionism, bad or non-existing time-management.

 

A man who didn't quit

The author of this course, Stephen A. Pierce didn't quit. Instead, he persisted, and today he's one of the most highly respected Internet marketers I know.

However, it didn't always go that well. Years ago, before he decided to try starting a business on the Internet, he was living on the streets - barely surviving, living from moment to moment.

In this course, "Secrets of Creating Wealth", Stephen A. Pierce shares the basic principles and methods that helped him to completely turnover his life and become a highly esteemed marketer (both online and offline), consultant and author.

 

Not a typically how-to guide

Stephen's course, "Secrets of Creating Wealth", isn't a typical how-to guide. Rather, it's his highly personal account of how he managed to raise himself from being an utter financial failure to earning hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars each year.

This doesn't mean that you don't get a lot of how-to information in "Secrets of Creating Wealth". You certainly do. It's just 'packaged' as a part of Stephen Pierce's own story.

Personally I like this style. I also like the more typical how-to style, but the advantage of sharing the how-to stuff as part of a personal story, is that it's very easy to read. Besides, you can immediately see how another human being, the author, has applied the information to his or her own life.

This makes the information much more practical. You'll immediately see how you can apply it to your own life.

If you're looking for a condensed, step-by-step manual, this may not be the kind 

 

What you get in this course...

In "Secrets of Creating Wealth" Stephen Pierce shares the principles that he's used to get on the top physically, mentally and financially.

For example, one of the problems that many entrepreneurs struggle with is stress.

But how do you handle all this stress?

Stephen Pierce shows you a simple, but very effective way he's found to relieve stress. It's very easy to apply when you feel stressed, and according to Stephen it works.

Stephen Pierce also shares...

  • the methods he uses to become highly motivated
  • how he manages his time each day
  • what he does to keep himself in physical shape
  • how he stays tuned in on the really important matters in his business
  • the importance of eating the right stuff to be on the top physically
  • how to learn important business and marketing information on 'auto-pilot'
  • how to acquire the self-discipline you need to succeed in business
  • a formula for finding the best and most profitable products to sell
  • how he get empowered psychologically and spirtually
  • etc., etc.

 

My impression

In my opinion there's really much useful and excellent information in "Secrets of Creating Wealth" by Stephen Pierce.

Stephen has created a very inspiring and motivating product that has the potential to help a lot of other people too.

As I've already said earlier, I like his highly personal communication style. The audio-files are very easy to listen to. Stephen has an engaging, good (deep;-) speaking voice and he's never boring to listen to. When you listen to the audios you almost get the impression that you're sitting in front of him and you're listening to what he has to tell you as a good friend.

However, even though I really like the communication style and found a lot of good information in "Secrets of Creating Wealth", I also miss a few details here and there. It's very inspiring to listen to how Stephen Pierce himself has managed to climb from the valley of failure to the top of the success rock, but I would like to get even more help with how to actually do it.

Don't get this wrong! There is a lot of very useful and excellent information in "Secrets of Creating Wealth". It's just that after listening to this inspiring information I would like to get even more details on how to actually overcome the hindrances and obstacles you encounter as an entrepreneur.

For example, if you struggle with procrastination, what exactly do you do to overcome it? What exactly do you do when you get gripped by feelings of fear and panick?

As I've mentioned above, Stephen does (partly) cover these topics. But I'd like to get even more details on it.

 

This made me happy...

One thing that I personally was really glad to discover, was the emphasize Stephen Pierce places on preparing yourself spiritually when you're trying to run a business.

In my own experience the different psychological theories sometimes can be very useful. But what really makes the difference for me personally, is preparing myself spiritually. Sometimes, if I'm really feeling down, no psychological technique seem to help or matter. The only thing that helps me then, is treating the situation from a spiritual viewpoint.

The way Stephen Pierce prepares himself, for the day, spiritually, is by reading and meditating on the Bible. And that's exactly what I do myself. You may not agree with me on this point, and that's totally okay. But in my own, personal experience, nothing strengthens and empowers as meditating on the Word of God. And Stephen Pierce seems to agree.

This made me really happy.

At this point I don't agree...

One minor point where I don't agree, is Stephen Pierce's recommendation of using (what I'd call) sublimal methods to getting motivated. For example, he tells how he often 'listens' to tapes and CDs with marketing information - even when he's sound asleep.

Personally I don't find such sublimal techniques very helpful. I don't agree with the philosophy that lies behind this kind of thinking. Besides, I find this practice stressful. Honestly, I think I'd find it quite difficult to sleep if I could hear my CD-player in the background, playing audio-files with complex marketing information. But that's just my point of view. Stephen Pierce seems to find this technique very useful.

 

Overall assessment 

"Secrets of Creating Wealth" by Stephen Pierce is a very inspiring and motivating account of how Stephen raised himself from being a financial failure to becoming one of today's most successful Internet marketers.

If found much useful and good information in this course.

It's really helpful to compare Stephen's lifestyle to your own and discover the difference. Maybe this difference is the reason you're not as successful as Stephen Pierce. However, there's no need to despair. By following Stephen Pierce's advice there's every reason to believe that you can also become successful.

However, as I've said above, there are a few, minor points, where I think this course could be improved upon. At some points I'd like to get a few more details on exactly how to apply - step-by-step - Stephen Pierce's methods and tactics to your own life and business.

This is definitely not always the case. Stephen Pierce often gives you enough details to really grasp his methods. But sometimes I'd like a few more step-by-step descriptions.

When this is said, I still think this is a good course with a lot of useful and inspiring information.

Stephen Pierce is one of the Internet marketers I respect the most. In my opinion he's got a very high degree of integrity and by following his advice you'll have every chance of becoming a lot more successful in your business and life.
