Time to leave the Alex Jeffreys Nest…
Hey Hey Everyone
What a difference a day makes… 24 little hours…
Yesterday I made possibly the WORST DECISION of my internet marketing career….
OR the BEST DECISION of my internet marketing career.
I was sitting for about 20 minutes…
(with my mouse pointer hovering over the send button in my gmail account)
and I finally clicked SEND….PHEW!
Tough decision I tell ya…
Because that email was to Alex Jeffreys, handing in 4 weeks notice to stop working for him.
So in exactly 4 weeks time, I will essentially be joining the ranks of the unemployed.
But not if I can help it!
Now I know some of you will probably think I am crazeeeeee to give up my job with Alex…
But I think it’s time to stand on my own two feet.
So I guess I am either gonna FLYYYYYYYY or FALL FLAT ON MY FACE!
Who knows, only time will tell.
Right now I am kinda scared, if I am honest I am TERRIFIED – (In fact the technical term would be “peeing in my pants” ha ha ha)
You see, I don’t have another job lined up so the odds are kinda stacked against me and time is ticking…
But she who dares….wins right??
I am going to use this fear to hopefully propel me forward at a super fast pace.
This is by far the most risky thing I have ever done in MY LIFE!
But I just keep reminding myself that you only get one life and I am never gonna know if I can make it own if I don’t at least try.
So I had to make the tough decision and take that leap of faith, faith in myself to make it.
The next few weeks are going to be the hardest ones of my marketing career so far.
Admit it…
You are wishing you were me right now aint ya????
NOT ha ha ha ha.
Ahhhh well such is life, I am not afraid of hard graft and I reckon I can do it!
So I guess that’s it for this blog post, just a quick update and peek into my crazy internet marketing journey online.
Only time will tell if I make it or not…4 weeks time!
Wish me luck!!!
Sally 
ps. Do ya think I made the right decision OR do you think I’m crazeeeeeeee????

Wow, Sally, brave decision, but sometimes we need to be in that position to make something work. If we are comfortable we don’t push ourselves hard enough. Go for it, girl! And good luck! If there’s any help you need with anything just shout me. See you in June!
Enjoy the journey.

Hey Sally,
without a doubt I can say, that you have EVERYTHING to be successful as an online marketer – and I´m sure that you´ll make. With or without Alex…you will have your reasons and from your copy and what I can read between the lines I take away that you´ve found the right decision.
I send you a huge (virtual) bag full of good thoughts and I keep my fingers crossed that your tough timeline will be your special propeller.
All the very best, your friend

Hey Sally,
You got a good head on your shoulders so I don’t think you are doing something terrible.
You’ve come a long way and know a lot about this business, now.
Knowledge is like the gun powder in a stick of dynamite. Action is the Boooooooom.
I think you are ready to make some noise.
From what I know you got a lot of great quality stuff planned, a lot of support and helped so many people, so go for it!!
Always Wishing you nothing but the best,

Hey Alex, ha ha, yep you always have believed in me, more than I believed in myself at times to be honest, but you kept chipping away at me until finally I believed in myself.
You have a knack of doing that!
I guess you have always pushed me to do better, and you have always pushed me to get out there and do my own thing so finally I jumped lol.
Again… you have had a massive impact on my life and I hope to look back at this day as a major turning point.
Thank you Alex, for everything, love ya lots,

Seriously though, I think it’s great that you’re stepping out on your own now, yes, it’ll be scary and you’ll wonder why you did it at some points, but ultimately it’ll make you stronger & more successful.
And I was serious about the help – if you need help with anything then I’ll be more than willing to give it a go!

I leave you alone for a few days and look what you go and do (lol).
You wait and see, this will turn out to be the best decision that you’ve ever made.
Now you can concentrate all of your time and effort on building your own business and you can take what you’ve learned from Alex and put it to good use.
You know what they say…
If you believe you can – you will and if you believe you can’t – you won’t
It’s as simple as that.
I know you can do it. Everyone else knows you can do it so now all you need to do is…
Go and do it!
Give me a shout if you need any help with anything and I’ll catch up with you soon.

Hi Sally,
I am SOOOO proud of you. You are one tough cookie and if anyone can make it in the IM game it is you. It doesn’t matter if you are male or female, IM is for strong, stubborn, independent, focused but still giving and sharing people. You have nothing to worry about.
I am looking forward to following you and seeing your rise to the top, all the other IMers e.g. AJ, JT, RS etc. had better watch out.
Good luck and best wishes.

says:
Hey Sally,
Wow, things are really rocking over here, and although I and many can sense through your post, that it must have been nerve-wrecking experience to come to such an shocking decision, I’m sure that there are probably many brilliant reasons as to why you came to such an conclusion.
For me personally, I think don’t think you have made the wrong decision at all, you’ve clearly demonstrated that you have both the talent and skills to run your own coaching course, as you did a brilliant job at FTM for Alex, and also in the webinars.
Additionally, like your mentioned in your post, you only have one life, so why not give it a go, after all you if you don’t try, you won’t know, and like many have already mentioned…
We all have great faith in you Sally and know that, not only will you make it to the top, but you’ll also dominate in whatever your niche your decide to choose as you have The Midas Touch, and AJ and the others will be worried that they’ve created a protegee who will outclass them all.
Good luck and all the best with everything

Congratulations Sally, that’s an incredibly brave decision, but absolutely the right one I’m sure.
You come over brilliantly online, you have a very strong ‘brand’ of your own and you need to make that talent rock for yourself.
Working for somebody like Alex is no doubt a remarkable opportunity, but when push comes to shove, you need to do it on your own terms or you’re just exchanging one day job for another.
So I wish you the very best of luck – the decisions that work out best are often the hardest of the ones that seemed crazy at the time … but all that means is that you’re made of the right stuff.
Go for it, and I look forward to toasting your success!
All the best, Paul

It’s funny when people say I have a brand because I never meant to create one, I’ve just been myself and people seem to like that.
Toasting my success does sound good though, you can buy the beer ha ha, I am patiently watching my inbox for the email about “FFP” hope it comes soon I am dyinnnnnnnnng to use it.
Sally
Hi Sally,
Congratulations on the decision! Just to echo Paul’s thoughts above, working for Alex was a great opportunity and no doubt you will have learned a lot about how the IM industry operates. BUT, you are also somebody who can do very well for themselves in their own right online. So, of course, you owe it to yourself to give it your best shot. Exciting times ahead indeed!

I’m sure you have learned much from Alex. I am also sure that it is so hard to build your own business while working a regular full-time job. Now you will be able to spend your days building your business and not someone elses.
You will do great. If you need anything please do not hesitate to contact me.

FTM was great for me, I got to share lots of tips I knew and for people to love it gave me a big massive boost and of course Alex pushed me quite hard with webinars etc so that was all new for me.
I also learned how to be very productive with my time thanks to working for Alex, which I think is possibly the best lesson I could have learned.
Hopefully I still have some tips to share with the FTM students cos you bled me dry ha ha ha, kiddin of course.

Hi Sally, you know me… I have to give you my advice here. I am not sure of your personal or financial situation, so I can only speculate. My advice is to always have the blanket in place before quitting your paying job. You can do both, and then only go on your own completely when you know you won’t fall on your face. Eliminate the doubts, then jump.

To be a true entrepreneur you need to take some risks. For your case I’m confident you’ll be successful so I think It’s the right decision to leave Alex for now and stand on your own feet.I hope to see your own product very soon viral on the internet. You deserve it.

Hi Sally,
Very surprised to hear your news but I’m sure you’ve made the right decision. Sometimes you just have a gut feeling and know it’s right don’t you?
I have no doubt you’ll be a success in whatever you do because whereas some people dream of success, you’ve clearly woken up and worked hard at it.
Good luck and best wishes. Hope you get off the computer more and are able to spend more time with Jade.

Hey Jean, how are ya, done any new interviews yet? I always love listening to them, your an expert at them.
Yeah I couldn’t work for Alex forever, and you know what… he wouldn’t have let me ha ha, not for that reason but cos he has always tried to push me to be more and I think that’s why he took me under his wing, to show me the ropes then push me out onto the big wide world to do my own thing.
Thanks for best wishes, and yes I will be sure to have lots of rest and play time once I get a few “projects” out the way.

Hi Sally…
I may seem a little late here…on the other hand I am thinking the timing is actually perfect.
I just finished watching your video on how to make money blog commenting. It was brilliant Sally!
You are a natural teacher and it clearly showed in that video.
So, I can honestly say…from my heart that you have already arrived! I am a follower and after watching that video you are on my daily list.
I learned so much and it was so easy to follow and I am going to implement this. I need to kick in some money every month. You are easy to trust for so many reasons…being authentic is one.
The bigger the risk the bigger the reward. It couldn’t be otherwise.
Congratulations! I am excited for you
Your future is teaching, coaching, mentoring…call it what you want.
Where do I sign up?

Hey Kathy, it’s never too late
Yeah the blog commenting redirect is a neat lil trick, I love lil tricks like that.
I really hope you do implement that’s really important, it’s great learning new things but it’s worthless if you don’t do anything with the new knowledge.
Ha ha ha re: coaching, teaching, mentoring…. it’s coming real soon, I promise.

Why do we women always have so little faith in ourselves? Sometimes we just have to close our eyes, take a deep breath… and jump!
Invariably, we have already put all the support mechanisms in place and we just have to learn to trust both the infrastructure we have built almost without thinking and our own abilities.
From one new independent business woman to another, I wish you all the best for the future.

Hey Jo,
1.2.3…. Jump….. No wait wait, I’m not ready lol.
Yeah I know what you mean, kinda like a leap of faith, but it’s hard to take it, but I guess once you make the jump you cant take it back, you just gotta keep going.
Thanks for the best wishes, and good luck to you with your own ventures, if I can help with anything plz gimme a shout, Sally
Good luck for the future Sally I am sure you will be a great sucess, you have built up quite a loyal following just look at the amount of comments your getting WOW!your an honest Marketer who will do very well.

Hey Mick, thank you
Yeah I have a lovely bunch of friends online and they are always pushing me to make it which is really nice and of course this works both ways…
I am forever trying to push them to “do more” online too, nothing like a good butt kicking to keep you going lol.
The friendships and relationships you build online are so very important, just wish more people would realize that.
Catch ya soon, Sally

Hey Andrew, back again lol
Yes it was a good move I think I am loving this new sense of freedom that I have, it’s a wonderful business we are in!
What other “job” is this much fun, allows you to meet loads of really cool people and spend your time as you please, certainly my idea of a dream “job”
Catch ya later, Sally

Hi Sally, good to see you again today.
Sorry I didn’t chat much, I find it very difficult because I’m getting so much deafer these days and I must be getting a touch of American X-Factor – I have a lot of problems with some accents!! – Haha.
I’m sure you will be able to cope on your own feet, and there was plenty of material there today to help you determine the line to take……. I was really surprised at how much I drew from the meeting with you all, it was only when I sat down to talk to Jean about it that she drew a lot of ideas out of me and helped me clarify some areas that have had me stumped for months.
I’ll be back more often now to see how you are making out!
Godspeed

Hey John, yeah was nice to see you too and clean shaven!
Randy’s meeting was a great success I thought, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, a very nice group of like-minded people.
Sometimes being an online marketer can be a lonely business, so to get out and chat with people in the “real world”, who understand
what you are going through is just so helpful I think.
Onwards and upwards as they say and hope to see you at another meeting soon.
Catch ya later, Sally
Hi Sally,
I think you did the right thing. After knowing you all these years, I know you can stand up on your own 2 feet and you are already your own brand.
You don’t need to hide at the back of someone else’s business. You can already make it on your own.
I know you will be successfull.
All the best.
