There are so many but the weirdest is the fact that I have tiny lil’ third nipple.

More about Nick Unsworth

Nick was an Entrepreneur his whole life and recently pursued his dream of being happy and helping others. He’s always been on search for purpose. He’s been involved in Network marketing, real estate, internet marketing, etc. and after a 12 year journey he found it.

When Nick was 28 he had a company and started giving half of the gross revenue to charity. He realized how bad traditional marketing was broken which inspired him to learn internet marketing. He picked becoming a Facebook marketing expert modeling after Mari Smith. Being unable to pay the bills built pressure which forced him to kick major butt in business. This inspired him to write a letter to himself as if he already achieved his goal of selling his business in 2 years.

Nick, I was reading a recent article online that Forbes wrote about you… about your mother giving you a copy of the movie “The Secret” back in 2008 and this re-igniting the fire and passion inside of you to reach your goal of selling a business by the age of 30. And to solidify your commitment to your dream you tattooed a giant cross on your chest with the words “The Secret” written backwards so that it reminded you of your goal every morning when u looked in the mirror. This story resonates a lot with me because the Secret and discovering the Law of Attraction has also had a major impact in my life too. I’m interested in knowing more about this story.

Nick is in the process of getting his next tattoo which is his next goal, to break 7 figures with Life On Fire in 2015. This is Nick Unsworth goal setting on fire process bringing him awareness. He wants to be so bold and act so confidently that he believes it, that he will tattoo himself proving he has the guts to pursue his dream. It’s a level of conviction, not a question if he would but 100% guaranteed that he would.

Nick, can you share more about your Eternal Family Project non-profit in Honduras that recuses girls from dilapidated orphanages and adopts them into a home of love and nourishment.

Short story. Built friendship with guy form Honduras. His friend moved entire family to Honduras to help young girls begin abused and violated in poor conditions. Rehabilitating them with love. Saving girls form orphanages. Love, education and family rehabilitates them. They live in true poverty and have no money. The girls and boys don’t see sunlight until age 4. They children are literally being tortured. These kids don’t have a chance. Nick decided to do something about it, bought land in Honduras to build a center to rehabilitate these young girls and boys.

What changes have you seen in your life since giving back to this non profit in Central America?

Last year Nick cut a check to build a school in Guatemala to help them out. Out of 2014, he’s most proud of the Virtual Submit he did, with the goal to fund-raise to build a school in Guatemala. Givers gain in so many ways. Master money with confidence to give it away because it comes back in fruitful ways.

What’s your Facebook PPC marketing strategy?

Monthly promotions. Need to sell every month. spice up your topic. Go from FB ad to capturing lead to inviting them to a webinar. Then sell your offer at the end. The trick is do a different new promotion every single month.

What major changes have their been with advertising on Facebook over the past couple years and what changes can we expect to see in 2015?

Video is a hot trend that will continue and expect video to get more traction and views from an organic perspective.

Let’s pretend you had to start all over again as an entrepreneur and all you had to your name was $1,000 and a laptop computer, exactly what would you do to build your business?

Organize the sweetest networking event, pull in local leaders and spend all that budget to get people in the room and then he just teach something he’s good at providing them with massive value.

Using This 4% Marketing Strategy.

Exclusive interview with 2 time best selling author Ray Higdon. Ray went from foreclosure to 2.5 million a year in 5 years and is the host of “Home Business Profits” which is his podcast that gets over 150,000 downloads per month. Ray has earned millions in network marketing as well as affiliate marketing commissions.

Weird Interesting Fact:

Ray was featured in an infomercial at 18 years old.

What led you down the road to becoming an entrepreneur?

Ray Higdon is from Indiana originally but has lived in Florida for 25 years. He always worked hard and got to a 85K a year salary selling insurance. Then back in 2005 Ray got into real estate leaving his 80K a year salary to get a guaranteed salary of zero.

He started flipping houses and made a lot of money but lost it all with the burst of the real estate bubble. Ray feels in more control of his finances and life with network/internet marketing versus the real estate market. With info marketing and network marketing Ray has gained lots more freedom.

What’s the biggest misconception people have towards network marketing?

That network marketers are taught to be sleazy and underhanded which is why so many are turned off by network marketers. The greatest thing about network marketing is that ANYONE can do it, but that can also be a bad thing.

Why do so many people fail and how can our listeners avoid failure?

People fail because they talk to much to few people. Instead you must say less to more people. People quit for many different reasons including false expectations and lack of consistency. Ray Higdon has been blogging now with 5-7 new blog a week consistently for the past 4 years. We must remember the reason WHY you joined and got started down this journey in the first place so that we continue persisting through the difficult times.

When Ray started blogging, he was in foreclosure and was dead broke. However, the Key is that he started, even though it wasn’t perfect, and it wasn’t beautiful he was always consistent.

Vision & Big Reason Why

Ray wanted to become someone worth something, someone providing value. He also wanted to raise the vibration of the network marketing profession to help entrepreneurs create more freedom.

Please share with us more about your 2 best selling books and how you went about becoming a best selling author?

Ray published both of his best selling books within a 37 day time spand. His first is called “Vibrational Money Immersion – Think and Grow Rich for Network Marketers” and he gave it away free for the first 24-48 hours upon launch via ebook/kindle download. His second book is called “Top Earner Recruiting Secrets” which is a 4 hour training he recorded on recruiting and closing and had it transcribed into a book. It became #1 in 5 categories in 10 countries.

Ray you’ve made millions in the network marketing industry. Can u share with us what you look for in a good network marketing company before planting your flag?

The 4 most important things are community, support, culture and training. It’s all based around growth and retention. Ray’s 1st company was in 2006 and then he jumped around. In 2009 he joined a company and became #1 income earner. Culture is also really important.

Temporary Defeat

When Ray Higdon first got started in network marketing, he struggled with being coachable. The moral of story is be coachable but also as a leader, never be over bearing ruling over them.

Weird Breakthrough Experience

Ray experienced his first massive breakthrough when he was making a lot of money in real estate then lost it all and stopped making any money. When this happens, scarcity thinking can occur but it was when Ray made more money during his vacation at an amazing resort while not working then the cost of being there. The Universe showed him that he can make more money then they spend.

If you had to start all over again and all you had was $1,000 dollars and a laptop. What would you do?

Determine what my target market is and what problems I can solve. Spend a couple hundred bucks on site design and the rest on taking people to lunch. Get around people who are masters in the profession I want to dominate. Research the forums and books, and conversations around that niche. I would also created a podcast and blog daily.

Transforming Weirdness Into Riches

I’ve always been called weird since as far back as I could remember way before my entrepreneurial journey ever started. Allow me to share with you how I transformed my weirdness into my greatest asset of becoming a successful entrepreneur.

Shy is an understatement to how I grew up because I was a total introvert who literally refused to talk to anybody. As a result I began being called, “Weird” in school and by those around me.

People would say things like, “Justin, what’s wrong with you, why are you so weird?” I would just ignore them as if they didn’t exist and I grew up not understanding why some people could be so mean.

As I got older my weirdness followed me. I just always felt so different than everyone else.

The majority of all my friends and classmates in high school were interested in parties, drugs, alcohol, sports, etc. I on the other hand did the complete opposite of everyone else and lived my life differently so I wouldn’t be like them.

I absolutely dreaded the few parties my friends did convince me into going to. While they were out partying I would do things like stay home on the weekend, have a hand made do not disturb sign scotch taped on my room door and attempt to break my personal record of how long I could sit meditating in a full lotus position without moving.

Naturally meditation always fascinated me through my studies of kung fu, tai chi, chi kung and yoga so I began talking about how much it changed my life at school and began actually talking so that I could help people tap into something greater and life transforming that I was experiencing.

As you probably guessed it, I did not get the reaction I was expecting, instead I was met with ignorance such as, “Meditation is for weird folks like monks and nuns” or “My pastor at church says when you meditate all you’re really doing is given Satan your power bla bla bla” (LOL I know I can’t even make this stuff up.)

As time went by I got a lil’ older, graduated high school and pursued my dreams as an entrepreneur because I realized how different from everyone else I truly was.

I had no desire to be regular, average and normal just like everyone else living an unfulfilled life working a boring 9-5 job that they hated.

It all started with a dream.

I had a dream of being so successful that I would never have to worry about money like everyone else ever again.

I had a dream that my education level wouldn’t determine my destiny in life but that I would create my own destiny.

I had a dream of one day speaking on stages jam packed with thousands of people from all around the world teaching them how to attain freedom in their lives.

I had a dream of teaching others who grew up like me how to embrace their weirdness and tap into something greater, so powerful that it cannot even be described, it must be experienced instead.

I had a dream of falling in love with the women of my dreams, having a family and traveling around the world living a fantasy lifestyle getting paid to do what I’m most passionate about which is helping others transform.

Here’s what’s so trippy about all this… every single dream I mentioned above has come true in my life as if I conspired with the Law of Attraction to co-create every single detail.

What was the weird breakthrough for me throughout all of this?

It was in realizing that our weirdness is our greatest gift and that by tapping into it you’re giving others permission to be great and embrace who they truly are.

I believe that God places dreams inside your heart for a divine purpose and that it’s our responsibility to carry out those dreams.

What’s your unique weirdness and are you ready to transform it into your biggest asset?
