Mad Men, Don Draper and Me

Don Draper, the main character from Emmy winning series Mad Men, is a bit of a rogue, skirt-chaser and advertising genius.

In 2009 the fictional Don Draper was voted the Most Influential Man in the World according to AskMen.com

Online Marketers andd Network Marketers are MadMen. If we’re honest with ourselves, we are using psychology to itch primal urges to encourage prospects to make a buying decision.

That primal urge in the business opportunity space is a return to Eden full of fancy cars, new homes, vacations and time freedom to do and be who you were meant to be… and that’s where my story begins.

A couple of years ago I went from living in a new  2,700 square foot house to a tiny two bedroom apartment with used pots and pans that I bought from a thrift store.

The life I had known had vanished. My marriage was over and I was raising 4 kids on my own.

I was broke, despondent and had no idea of how things could ever get better.

Life sucked.

I found myself digging through couch cushions for Starbucks money (this is middle class desperation mind you) and trapped at home on the weekends because I had no money to put in the gas tank.

The reality was that my teaching job couldn’t pay the bills. Honestly, I really don’t understand how any family can make it on a single middle-class income.

“Is this my new life?” I thought. Would I from now on always be stuck in a crummy apartment, trying to make ends meet, while making frequent visits to the Payday advance store?

I had to awaken my inner Donald Draper and get my groove back.

That Draper swagger comes from the confidence that you’ve got the goods. Competence = confidence. That’s what the Draper taught me.

I decided not to be a victim of circumstance. But rather, boldly take life by the reigns and OWN every aspect of my life.

We have one life, it’s a gift and never to be wasted. I resolved that I would learn how to market online and make money.

I slowly found my inner force. Through trial and error I uncovered strategies and methods that eventually earned me my 1st $1,000 Day .
