How a Former Car Salesman from New York Is Becoming An Internet Icon

"Buy", "Sell", "Get it while it's HOT!"

BOOM!

Then...

POP!

The so-called internet bubble exploded, or shall we say...imploded?

Speculation was gone, and the internet gold rush was over or so everyone thought!

After the, "See, I told you so-s" were over what was left?

The big boys and girls of the internet world who had enough money to stay alive and a bunch of scattered little ones with intravenous lines from every direction recovering.

Secretly, while all of this was going on a humble car salesman from New York had become exposed to the internet and learning how to make money on it "the old fashioned way."

Mike Filsaime started as a car salesman back in 1990 and in three years he became the sales manager. That success fact didn't surprise me though because I know that Mike has a very high work ethic.

Success seemed inevitable.

However, in 1998 Mike Filsaime suffered a devastating financial blow. A crooked partner in a Real Estate Investment Firm he was a partner in embezzled and stole over $400,000 from Mike and his other partners. He suffered foreclosures of homes and repossession of vehicles just to name a few things.

Countless other things happened during that time to him and those he loved, enough to cripple a person's mind and motivation for life.

But Mike Filsaime wasn't your ordinary person. He was a success minded person.

He has, what I believe to be finely tuned and programmed subconscious mind that breeds and breathes success.

"Your perception will become your reality" as I like to tell my clients.

Mike says, "You see, that was a revelation to me. I realized that when you have your health, you have a future. When you have knowledge you can start again."

How POWERFUL is that statement?!

As time went by, Mike like many others in life, began to look for another way out.

Something different, something exciting and something that would make him MONEY!

The internet became that way out.

So Mike began to learn about internet marketing and he has become an internet marketing expert.

It didn't come easy though because, recently Mike Filsaime confessed to his newsletter subscribers, "I have so many issues I struggle with just as many of you do. Maybe not financial at this time, but struggles none the less. I suffer from a mild case of obsessive-compulsive disorder. And even minor turrets syndrome. You may not notice if you just met me. Hang around me for a few weeks and you will start to notice my little "ticks". They drive my wife crazy! :)"

Okay, so what does Mike have that you don't?

Absolutely, NOTHING!

Mike never claims to be anything special although we all know he IS!

All he took was his simple knowledge sales, studied internet marketing and put in the work required for it to pay off over and over.

There's really no glamour in all of it. He worked hard in the moment so that it all looks easy in the long run.

It's weird, but most people don't understand that one concept. They think that they can just do nothing and get rich.

However, Mike has made it possible for people to profit from his hard work AND work less through his innovative products and services.

He is president of InstantBuzz.com and PayDotCom.com among others.

AND...
