Make Friends With Successful People-Dan Kennedy Secret To Success

By Neeraj Varma

Working with successful people is what it takes to be successful, according to Davin Ogden. The real key to doing well in anything is to be networking. "If you can really get to know some of these people, their influence rubs off on you a lot."

As part of Dan Kennedy's Info Riches course, Rob Toth interviewed Davin to get his views on information marketing. Rob is collecting success tips from the top Information marketers in a series of interviews called "Future Of Information Marketing".

In 2006 Davin joined a mentorship program as his first introduction to information marketing. He is very thankful he did that because he saw success very quickly. He joined another mentor later on and was successful with that program also.

You have to "solve problems for people", says Davin. The products you make have to be useful for people. Davin says "there are thousands of untapped niches." "You need to hone in and target the niches."

Once you have found a niche you want to work in start networking and doing joint ventures.

Davin says "getting to know these (successful) people is not really tough". "It's not as difficult as people think." That one joint venture, that one friend you make can make a world of a difference to your business.

It may seem like an impossible situation but "a lot of these people are just as personal, they're just the same as anybody else and I know a lot of people getting started are really intimidated in trying to get close to some of these people but... you know there's a lot of really nice marketers out there that are willing to take you on and point you in the right direction and drive you a little bit further toward your goal."

Unfortunately "people just get their feet wet a little bit and they are just on the threshold of cutting through and get some success for themselves" says Davin. "Then they just seem to wander off and start doing something else or worse yet, they give up altogether". If they had a successful friend or work-mate they would keep going and end up successful.

"It's really sad to see people doing that. That's what I see happening a lot" says Davin. "I don't think people give themselves enough of a chance sometimes and it is really tough to start because there's a lot to learn." It's all achieveable if they would just start off in the right direction and keep going.
