  1. Matt Says:

    Wow… what a story! And the lessons you learned are priceless.

    I’m now keeping a list of “Reese Rules,” including the ones highlighted in the Reese Report.

    And the video played great, too!

  2. The Writers Manifesto Says:

    Great video, can’t wait for the launch John.

  3. Tony Says:

    This is a powerful message that I, and probably many others, needed to hear today.

    The path of entrepreneurship and financial freedom can be a true test of your nerves
    but it is a battle well worth winning.

  4. Matt Gallant Says:

    Great stuff as always John.

    Great to see you coming back to the limelight full force.

    Rock on John,
    Matt Gallant

  5. Yakito Says:

    Nice work! You should put your videos in a format that can be embedded on others blog so we can share it with more people!

  6. ben Says:

    This is a pure gem John and the timing is very apt.

    Thanks.

    Great video! your blog keeps me going…

    I feel like you’re talking about my current situation…

    I WILL GET OUT OF THIS!

    Once again thanks for the video!

  9. Azzam Says:

    As always….outstanding!

  10. Elizabeth Potts Weinstein CFP JD Says:

    Great video, you read my mind!

    I have found those two truths to be a huge difference in my business … and what many small business owners are making.

    As a perfectionist, it was so hard for me to launch anything, because I was afraid of failure. I now call it a test, an experiment. If that new marketing campaign, or teleclass, or info product does not do well, it was just an experiment, a beta test. Now, I just make some changes and run the test again.

    Another big difference is taking action — or you could also call going really fast. Most people never get started, get stuck, and take forever. I find that the faster I come out with new stuff, new campaigns, new info products, new websites - my business increases at a exponential rate.

    Thanks!

  11. Dominic Says:

    The video stopped working. The video will not play past the hope section.

  12. Steve Says:

    the video only plays for about a second then stops. I have the most recent falsh player install. any ideas for a fix?

  13. Steve Says:

    LOL, I tried it one more time and it worked!

  14. Joseph Ratliff Says:

    John,

    You should publish a report with all of the “Reese Rules” contained within.

    They are golden.

  15. Cyntax Web Design, Inc. Says:

    Great advice. I’ve been involved with a number of projects that fell flat on their face because some people involved would rather form “great ideas” than take action. They just wanted to plan all day, say “Wow this is a great idea!” and never get down to business.

    I never really feel good about any project until I’m doing something that is directly related to the growth of the business, and has a tangible result. That is the problem with so much of the internet marketing out there today, it’s just more information adding to your swelling headache of all these things you want to do. You really have to distill it down to one goal at a time, and the results will tell you to keep going or “get out while the getting is good.”

    Hope is for the birds. Great video John.

  16. Jon Says:

    Awesome thoughts again, John. Any chance we will see the entire speech, or even a transcript?

  17. Jon Says:

    Ditto on the “Reese Rules” report!

  18. Kev New Zealand Says:

    Just awesome JR and the video played till the end.

  19. Razvan Rovinaru Says:

    John Reese, an inspiration as always. This video really made my day :D

    Thank You John !

  20. ramaraju Says:

    John Reese ,

    Great lessons of life . I can relate to some of the lessons and truly vouch that these
    advise works ! Unfortunately as always TRUTH HURTS so many people may feel the
    truth from your lessons but will not admit it ……even admit it to themselves for fear
    of succeeding !….Keep up the good lessons ….

  21. robert Says:

    The video illustrates wisdom learned from the hard knocks in life which John very graciously shares with us. For me the most important rule is rule 8: To change your reality you have to face your reality. Jeez, is this so true. Like most people I am in debt, not a big debt, but still a burden. And I’ve been through it all. Fear. Anxiety. Depression. Suicidal tenancies. And other Crap. But I got through it all. I got wise and faced up to the reality that this debt is just a bunch of numbers…thats my life began to go finally forward with strength and confidence. I learned to face up to my reality from John….in a video called “Reboot Your Brain”…which I highly recommend to anybody to watch and listen intently and act hard on….cheers.

  22. JD Says:

    Short video with a giant impact!

    thanks John…I’m also looking forward to the launch.

  23. GreggT Says:

    Thanks John for sharing!

    I, for one, appreciate anything you share for free at this point, especially those nuggets that have the ability to force a change in a person’s life for the better.

    Once again, thanks for the blog and the information you just shared! Keep’em coming ;-) Thanks!

    Gregg

  24. Sam Rivera Says:

    This is a gem! I really relate with the message of not letting your current reality hold
    you back from achieving your dreams.

    Can’t wait to see what else you got up your sleeve!

  25. money making ideas Says:

    inspiring video! what happened to the $500,000 reese report video? i wanted to show it to my friend.

  26. Greg Gibson Says:

    What a story….

    Your honesty is unbelievable.

    You hit some serious buttons and I really can relate.

    John, some day could you tell “how to keep the focus”.

    Again, thanks for the honesty and not trying to aways sell us something. You practice what you preach.

    greg

  27. John Reese Says:

    Thanks for your feedback, everyone!

    Greg - I’ll make a note to cover ‘Focus’ sometime soon.

    “money making ideas” - I took the $500K Adsense video down because those sites, and how they were structured, along with some Adsense changes, experienced a dramatic decrease in earnings. And so I didn’t want to continue promoting a business model that was no longer working well. When I released the video those sites were working well (and I wanted to encourage people) but that’s not the case anymore and I feel that I would be misleading people if I kept the video up.

  28. Franck Silvestre Says:

    It’s good that you removed the video for that reason.

    Keep them coming John, you are doing an awesome job. I really like your 911 Video story, it was awesome.

    Can’t wait income launch. I hope it’s coming soon.

  29. Adrian Says:

    Hey John,

    Good stuff, the site is coming along nicely and as always great pointers to keep in mind. I know this is a stab in the dark but it’s worth a try…….

    If it helps any…. I am a friend of Mark Ling and am working hard to get my affiliate business off the ground. Would love the chance to get your opinion on a site I am working on… promise I won’t bother you :0)

    All the Best
    Adrian,

  30. Carrie Says:

    John, a quote I often repeat is “All progress starts with truth.” Mark Twain. This is a great example of that. Thank you for sharing these videos, they’re very inspiring.

  31. Nell Taliercio Says:

    John,

    I really needed this video today. Thank you for sharing…this blog has fast become my favorite.

  32. Codrut Turcanu Says:

    Hi John…

    You’re always right and deliver great info.

    I suggest you issue Camtasia tutorials
    since they provide hands-on tips & tricks,
    so everybody can learn what
    you teach more precisely.

    I feel better now because I always read entrepreneur and autotrader with big dreams, and my wife keeps telling me I’ll never have those things anytime soon. Thanks for the story

  34. Paul the pc tech guy Says:

    Brilliant, you absolutely hit the nail on the head. I have noticed this in my own life.. my brain always wants the next best thing instead of working on what ive already got ready to run..

    “the more action you take the more money you make” .. I love it. Thanks heaps!

    Paul

  35. zina Says:

  36. Chris Says:

    Cheers John, I am facing my reality and watching it change!

  37. Anthony Says:

    Hi John,

    Boy, did this one hit home. You should release this as a podcast so we can listen to it every day.

    Thanks for the inspiration!
    Mike

  43. Bill Shultz Says:

    John,

    Once again you nailed it I’ll bet as 95% of the people that watched that video clip has been through the exact thing that you described. I would also like to thank you for the truth because when people watch that and they are not making the kind of money that they had hoped to be making they will see that if you see yourself reaching that goal and not give up then you will reach that goal.

    Thanks John,

    Bill

  44. Tania NZ Says:

    Great vid John

    It sure smacked me in the face to face up to my reality. Other half believes in the working sooo hard thing, I’m past that scenario. I know where I am going is soooo grand. Love you car by the way, you probably have a new one now!!

    Cheers
    Tania

  45. Nancy Says:

    Great video John, it really hit the spot when you said never let anyone tell you it can’t be done. Taking action is another important point. I think a lot of us get caught up in the information overload and don’t take action.

    Thank you for your honesty and inspiration.
    Nancy

  46. Pavel Says:

    Thanks, this is awesome advice. At this time I am in a bit of credit debt too, not looking recover it right this month… but your motivation helps.

  47. Eric Louviere Says:

    I used to draw dinosaurs in school. I think
    I’m doomed now. :)

    Seriously, I used to draw sports cars too
    and big houses (using fancy architect rulers),
    and always had a subscription of some
    biz op magazine with me. Funny to hear that
    story from you JR.

    I never worked at some damn video store though…

    haha

    Nice speech - very fun to watch!

  48. Jonathan Smith Says:

    Your commentary on Hope was great.

    I’m a movie fan too, and I think some of the greatest lessons in life can be summed up in movie lines.

  49. Don Pasco Says:

    Hi John,
    In my opinion, this was the best one ever.
    It actually brought tears to my eyes.
    I’ll spare the details… but
    Thank you for sharing not only that you had “down” times,
    but also the ways you used to turn it around.

    Sincerely,
    Don Pasco

    I really enjoyed your humor, but most of all the reality of life in America today. I am appaulled it is so easy for people to receive so much credit even when they are sinking in debt. It is easy to do when you are dealing in credits in an account somewhere and not with real money.

    I wish you much luck and success. I am really interested in making a difference for our generation. I am anxious to learn.. Keep up the great teaching..

    John,

    Thank you for ALWAYS offering help that has real substance. The underlying principles by which you govern your business are founded in integrity. After having spent months studying various gurus and experts, the methods that you promote for business and personal development promote the personal and business values that I want to model.

    I am SOOOO looking forward to the launch of income.com

    With respect,

  53. Honorebel Says:

    I was practically hypnotised by this presentation, certainly gran-ma wouldn’t fall asleep if I were to have sit up one night and take this in.

    I believe John is a “close to your heart” super affiliate who gets the hype around without the hype,whatsoever.

    I use to spend countless hours browsing through Jim Daniel’s bizweb2000 aricles, I would sit and read for hours,hooked on every word, and such is the case I noticed that John Reese possesses that same level of quality in the information he provides for his readers. Through to form it’s all the honestry integrity concept at the end the day: “People watch you in everything you say and believe you in everything you do” - That’s the secret of making a million dollars online and anywhere else for that matter

  54. Harold Patterson Says:

    Thanks, John, for sharing some memories that must be painful. But it is helpful in seeing your journey to know you better. I can certainly identify with some of your struggle, and renew hope for better days in the future. I look forward to hearing more in the upcoming venture. Learning is exciting, and I am confident will be profitable as well.
    Harold

  55. Dodgypress Says:

    Thoroughly enjoyed the Vid. May go try the coaching.

  56. Louise Says:

    This really makes sense to me. Round your debts up: that’s your OLD way of life: expensive! NEW way is to believe the door stands open for you: set yourself a big goal. Mine is $400 million a year. I know just how to do it, too, easy. And each day is a step towards that little goal I set myself as a daily challenge. Life feels sweet, big boy. Grin!

  57. Ulla Says:

    Hey John,

    I feel grateful for your video information. I like your straightforward stile and are really in
    need of it. You make me now to take action. Thanks for sharing a bit of your life.

  79. kevin7314atgmail.com Says:

    Kev summary of the video:
    every result is an asset
    if something fails, determine why it failed.
    look at the data

    entrepreneurs buy hope(products) but fail to take action. The more action you take the more money you make.

    Never let anyone tell you it can’t be done.
    brainwash yourself to think you will be incredibly wealthy

    the anticipation of death is worse than death itself.
    Accept the reality of your financial situation:
    your debt.
    put a sign up of your total debt and your financial goal.

    The only way to change your reality is to change your reality.

  82. Sylvia Dickens Says:

    Hi John,

    Loved your video, especially the part about Hope. Yes, we buy “hope” on a regular basis, anticipating that this is the thing that will get us where we want to be. When it doesn’t pan out, we move onto something else offering hope. I’ve heard this a lot over the years but what I haven’t heard is the opposite… Hanging on to hope when it is probably futile.

    Example: you’re working on your business, fully believing you have a good niche and a desirable product, yet you persistently run up against failure. You continue working your niche - after all, other people are succeeding with that exact product and those techniques, why won’t it work for you? So you keep the faith.

    At what point do you admit to yourself that the hope is futile and it’s time to move on to another product or technique? No one seems to address that side of Hope and its counterparts: determination, persistence and positive action.

    Sylvia
