We lived in a beautiful tropical paradise known as Grand Cayman. I caught lobster from the beach in front of my home... I drank rum and Red Stripe Ale with the locals... I swam in the perpetually warm sea with my daughter. We lived a laid back, stress-free, island way of life.
I'm not kidding... It was SWEET.
As a web designer, I had created websites for dozens of businesses on the island. Later I landed my dream job as Director of Marketing for a beautiful tropical resort.
It was our paradise...
And this storm was threatening to take it all away... even our lives...
When you're staring into the abyss, a lot of things run through your mind...
You're wondering if you're going to live or die... You learn what really matters to you... You think about what you would have done different... What you'd do if you got a second chance...
It was in those thoughts that I remembered the words of Friedrich Nietzsche...
"What does not destroy us, we destroy, and it makes us stronger."
And I made a decision...
If we survived... If we got out of this "Hurricane Hell"... I was going to make some changes, baby! I promised myself one damn thing...
I'll be back... stronger, happier, and
more
focused on what is really
important in my life!
But for the time being, I had to face the truth...
When your home is cracked open like an eggshell and flushed with 50,000 gallons of rain and seawater:

When your car is washed out to sea... When your wife's job is destroyed... When the resort that employs you lays you off because they've been slammed just as hard as you...
It's pretty hard to deny you've got some hurdles to overcome...
Jobless, homeless, and with hardly more
than the clothes on our backs, we did
what any young family would do...
We retreated to Florida and moved in with my Dad.
Yeah, it sucked as bad as it sounds...
I had no way of knowing it at the time, but that move would be the best move I ever made. They say God works in mysterious ways and with what has happened in my life, I'm not in any position to argue.
Check it out...
Because of the storm... because of the place we moved to... because my beautiful daughter was school age... a chance meeting happened.
This "1 in a million" meeting opened my eyes and let me see what was right in front of me the entire time. It showed me a world I never even knew existed.
A world safe from the whims of mother nature. A business model that could work anywhere I wanted it to and be moved in an instant.
This meeting gave me the means and methods to stage my comeback. I'll tell you all about it in just a second...
I started Internet Marketing on a laptop
in my father's living room...
I was actually "barely" still employed.
The resort cut my hours and reduced me to a part-time consultant. With 2 kids and my wife Wendy all crammed in Dad's house, that wasn't going to cut it. So I started looking for extra work building websites...
One morning I was dropping my daughter off at school, and I met the guy that would change everything. I just didn't know it yet...
It took me about 6 months of talking to him to figure out what the hell was going on. This guy was basically retired... And he was my age! I had to know more...
So I kept bugging him until he finally spilled the beans...
He made his money online... so much cash
he retired in his 30s!
I was stunned...
He had not only made millions... He had been a featured speaker at major Internet Seminars and he had successfully taught thousands how to duplicate his wealth-building techniques. Our daughters went to the same school. Can you believe my luck?
I'd been working my ass off for years in the Internet business and I felt like a blind man seeing for the first time. I didn't even know this was possible. So do you know what I did next?
- Did I stick to him like glue?
- Did I pick his brain for every little detail?
- Did I ask him to mentor me?
Hell no! I tried to do it on my own,
and what a mistake that was...
Hey, I knew all about the Internet, building websites and setting up domains. I'd spent the last 6 years building over 200 corporate websites so I wasn't a newbie by any stretch. I knew it all, right?
"Yeah, right Erik!"
What I didn't know was... there are a few differences between corporate websites and Internet marketing. Talking to this guy, I realized I had holes in my knowledge big enough to drive a Mac truck through.
Things like...
- "Where do I start?"
- "What do I sell?"
- "How do I get a product?"
- "What's an Autoresponder?"
- "How do I get paid?"
- "How do I drive visitors to my website?"
Can you believe I spent years building websites and didn't know the answer to these questions? Too stubborn to ask this amazingly successful Internet Marketer, I looked around for help.
All I found was jack squat!
Don't get me wrong, there is a truckload
of stuff out there...
Hell, that's half the problem... There's too much STUFF!
I didn't know what to buy and I was definitely working with limited funds. It seems like every product is $67, or $97 or more. And it looked like I needed to buy 8 or 10 of them to figure it all out. So even if I want to make that commitment...
Which ones do I buy?
I did what you may have done before. I signed up for all kinds of marketers lists. I started buying crap left and right. Ok, not all of it was crap, but the problem was, I was bouncing around from idea to idea like a freaking pinball. And you know what happens to every pinball, right?
It eventually goes down the drain and you're out of quarters!
Then it was back to making websites and saving money.
After about 6 months of this cycle, I was still right where I was when I started. I had to face facts...
I needed help!
So I sucked up my pride and the next time I saw him, I said...
"Bro, I am spinning my damn wheels over here...
Can you help me out with some advise?"
He laughed and said, "I wondered when you were going to get around to asking. Of course I'll help you out."
From that moment, things changed. I realized this was exactly what I needed. I needed someone that's been there before me, to show me the way... To keep me on track... and to tell me what I should be doing at each step of the process. Doesn't that sound so much easier?
I finally started having success. And by success, I mean I finally started bringing in some cash! Talk about a good feeling...
So once I learned the ropes, I was thinking back to how I felt in the beginning. I thought, "Damn, I sure was lucky to meet this guy!" That's when it hit me...
"I can't be the only one!" There has to be thousands of people just like me out there. Struggling to make it... not sure who to trust or what to buy or what approach to take... I decided right then...
I'm going to be the "go-to-guy" for everyone
out there struggling like I did...
I'm going to be the one guy that puts it all together.
I'm going to take all these disconnected parts and assemble
them into a step by step system. A system that operates
like a well-oiled machine! Nobody else would ever
have to struggle like I did... throw away the money I did...
I was going to finally create a package deal that would take you from ground zero to Internet hero. That's how the Faster Webmaster was born. The very next day...
I started working
like a man possessed...
I wanted to create the premier system for teaching Internet Marketing to anybody. My goal was to build something that would allow people of all backgrounds and experience levels to get the financial freedom I have.
Introducing The Faster Webmaster II!
