How an Iowa farm boy become an internet millionaire…

Interesting. I had no idea about your story. This is a really cool idea.

Being successful is not easy. However, your story is very interesting and inspiring.
From the farming life we learn to work hard and build our lives under beautiful but frequently complicated situations with limited resources, which make creativity the source of new opportunities.
From there it is very challenging to become successful and your process into a life changing environment is inspiring.
I would be happy of following you into a new inspiring success story.

You did a similar video for your 10 in 90 program and I'm still so inspired by your story.

Thank you for sharing Kevin. It really is refreshing to hear an Internet Marketer talk about how to help people less privileged than they are rather than just accumulating more. You go for the big cars, house and big boys toys but it's also great how you give back.

Great post Kevin
We need more positive life stories like yours to inspirer people to keep trying.
I look forward to spending more time on the cruise next week.
Mike

Hey Kevin

Great story about your climb to the top and still growing. Very inspiring indeed, I'm in the same current situation but a little worse as far as income. I just purchased you "Nitro Blueprint System" and look forward to a very successful business.

I really like the video you sent for Nitro Blueprint customers on managing your time.

Great stuff Kevin,
Looking forward to meeting you at the end of January.

Kevin,

I liked listening to your story. Wished that I had the insight of the internet back in the 90's. However, I have it now and want to improve on my successes. I've got two blogs right now and am looking at becoming an affiliate marketer to bring in some needed cash. Got some ideas for products of my own and will pursue them this year.
Looking for a mentor to help me through the tech stuff. There is just too many people out there that sell their story as the one to follow.
Dedicated to making me more profitable in 2010,
Hal

I know what you went through. I am currently going through it. My wife lost her job which took over $35,000.00 yearly from our income. we are in an area where unimployment is at over 23%. I now have our only home up for sell. It is a great cape cod lake front home valued at over $280,000.00. I can not even get an offer for over $180,000.00 on it. I,ve sold my truck & luckly get to work from home every other day. I hope this program will help me achieve my income goals soon. I loved the video. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kevin

Thank you - I appreciate your sincerity and your story.

I spent years getting 'educated', but have finally realised what you realised - that creative entrepreneurship is a great option. I recently left my long-term job to do the things that have always been 'on the back burner', but things I was never going to get around to.

So, I appreciate your perspective and your inspiration.

Best regards from New Zealand

I read the story, but didn't completely, however as soon as my new computer arrives here tomorrow and I can see the video, then I could decide whether I will get involved in your business.
So far, the story is very interesting, amazing, and seemingly
helping people especially those who are starting from the scratch
in business which is down to earth kind, noble and charitable.
Thank you very much for your email.

Kevin, this is a riveting story–Thanks for sharing!
I've enjoyed Nitro Blueprint System. You make things simple and do-able, step by step.
I'll keep following what you're doing,
Barnsley Brown
P.S. That's a rocking beach house you've got!

Kevin,
Some time ago I purchased your LBMM program and am not looking back since watching it. It really isn't about our stories, although it always ads to it, my story is very different, I'm 43 and happily married with a great son, however, I've had the burning itch to be my own "boss" for the past 10-years but lacked the fortitude until just recently.
I still have my J.O.B…for now, however I've already made $3600 in the last month, so…the bottom line, your stuff works and in the next year, I will be doing the same thing you are.
Congrats and much success to everyone who moves beyond the "try" stage. Remember Yoda…"try, there is no try, do or not do"
Cheers,
Steve Bell

Very inspiring story.

Sounds like my story… well, just the first half.
Success has still eluded me so far.

But, you have inspired me to continue on.
Thank You!

Carl Willoughby

Hi Kevin… Your story is one of inspiration. I was touched by your recognition of your sister and single mothers. I am a single Mom of 2 girls and my youngest daughter (just turned 18) is also a single mother of a 2 y.o. son. We will both be checking out the website you mentioned. I look forward to being able to meet you one day and will stay connected via the internet in the meantime.

Thank you for all you do!
Jeanne Pairman

Hello Kevin,
You are a good person. This shows through with every word you say. I loved watching your story. It brought tears to my eyes because so many things you said happened to me too. I could feel the pain when you hit bottom, and then it got worse… but crashing your car was actually a blessing in disguise for you… As we say in Mexico: God squeezes you, but he doesn't suffocate you… And then I loved how you triumphed, and you made it big… and now you are giving back to your high school, and you are helping your sister… I love and admire that you are a good man. You are a great example for all of us.

Kevin Wilke for President!

I send you a big hug,

Ellis Toussier (in Mexico City)

Great to see you again Kevin, your is truly is a terrific story. I asked my aspiring internet marketing son to watch it too.
My Dallas visit showed me up as not being able to follow the pace. The 'CAUSEHEALTH website never did eventuate. On again checking Godaddy, things remain unclear.

I still dream but drive is fading.

Keep up your good work Kevin

Raymond Douw

thank you for sharing

you have come quite a long way and it adds to my drive to continue progressing, growing into what I have to become to go where I envision going.

one thing that was subtle in your video was how you saw yourself as a success and did whatever it took to progress maybe without even realizing it at the time.

you're remarkable, kevin.

time to get moving.

be well
matthew

I can't watch a video that isn't there.

Well,The one thing we have in comman,is you worked for subway,,and I plow Fred Deluca's driveway,,, Great tipper,,and one of the nicest gentleman you would want to be friends with,, You would never know hes a gazillionare!!!!!!!!!!! LOL,

Great story,,and glad you made it,and helped all the different organizations out,,,Some Day!!!!!!!!!!,,Will Happen

Hey Kevin, great video! Thanks for sharing your story. I am happy that you became very successful. It is stories such as yours that keeps us who are failing from bailing. I am also a kindred spirit. I had SCUBA equipment and dove in every lake of every golf course in Maryland and sold used golf balls back to all of the golfers who didn't make it over the water hazard.
My mom had Alzheimer's and needed around the clock care. I couldn't afford around the clock nurses so I quit my job to take care of my mom. When she passed away I decided to go online instead of going back to work.
You mentioned a mentor you had that taught you. I was told early on that the best way to become successful was to find a mentor. The problem is, you guys are mercenary! The cheapest mentor I could find wanted $5,000 bucks and it went up from there. One person wanted $12,000 dollars and 15% of the gross for the first year. Holy Moley! I thought for that amount, they should allow me to move into their spare room and feed me two meals a day until I master the art!
Someone else suggested a young high school student. Their computer skills are great. They could show you what you need to know. The school bus stops two doors down from my house. I went to the bus stop. I began asking the students who knew the most about computers. I was telling them I would pay them. The mothers, who were standing around the bus stop waiting for the younger students, saw me and heard me say 'I wanted to pay students" The mothers began yelling at me and calling me a pervert!! We know what you want to pay them for! I said maam' I am trying to find someone to mentor me on a computer. Yeah sure you are!! I had to flee for my life!! They were chasing me with umbrellas. So much for finding a student. It was too dangerous!
I have had many businesses in my life. Nothing that made me rich but always paid the bills. I was always able to find someone who would allow me to sit at their feet and learn. Once I offered, and was allowed to work at a company without pay for eight weeks. Every week the owner would move me to another part of his business to see how it was ran. This is how I learned the basic business principles that translate into any business.
But I have found IM more difficult to crack than any of the other businesses I have been involved in. Any suggestions?
Once again Kevin, I would like to thank you for your story. Hearing the struggles of people who had it just as bad or worse than we do gives us all hope that we too will eventually find our own way to success. Here's hoping you double your 2009 income this year. Thanks again for keeping the hope alive. bob rettman

What a story! Like you, I am interested in unwed mothers and sincerely hope to achieve the greatness that you have.

Hopefully, with your team's help, I can soar so that I can help these "girls" who pay so dearly for their mistakes.

Thanks for sharing Kevin, very inspirational and keeps the rest of us moving.

I'm still in the first half of your story with no money and no direction yet, but i'll keep going til I reach the 2nd part and be as successful as you,

Thanks Again,

Brendan

Kevin,

You are going to see more great stories like this when I'm hired as the Project manager for your business. You guys have it when it comes to creating successes online for people. It's going to be a great time and to all those who want to believe, you should. Everyone has the ability, strength and fortitude to make it happen, dig down, dig deep my friends.

Siempre es reconfortante ver la historias de exito como la tuya, felicidades y quiero que seas mi mentor, saludos desde Mexico, D.F.
Luis Flores

Very inspiring - thank you.

Kevin,
You are such an inspiration. I am so glad to have finally found you and your Nitro blueprint program. Finally, I believe that online success is possible! I am just weeks away from launching my first information product. Your passion for teaching is what has made the difference. I not only know what to do, I now know HOW to do it.

You know Kevin in some ways I think all of us aspiring Internet Marketers can relate to your story on some level. Which in my humble opinion is a testament to the fact of what a genuine person you are and how anyone with the GRIT and focus no matter your circumstances can actually attain the same levels of success.

As a Nitro member I had the luxury of making your acquaintance at a Nitro event one year ago in Texas. I flew in from Boca Raton, Florida and I actually think I may have startled you comming out of the elevator…We actually laughed about that the next day when you realized I wasn't a serial killer or anything….

But seriously, I have met several IM Gurus at events and what I liked about you the most was your sincerity and noticeable genuine attitude of actually caring that the people you were attempting to help ALL received 190% of you. That meant something to me Kevin so thank you. After that particular event I actually lept leaps and bounds from where I was before the event.

Quite honestly I havent gone full time yet but I have had several smaller victories and I took away an actual business model and how to implement it which I have from my visit to your event. That and I made a ton of new friends that I still Master Mind with today.

So thank you for sharing your story, thank you for sharing your time and your knowledge.

From one I.M.er to another "It's been MUCH appreciated"

Sincerely,
Mark Battalini

ps. If you still need help in South Florida with the "Local Business Money Machine" I'm right here, more than willing and always ready.

I can relate to your transition from "playing in business" to "doing business." I am following your aggressive timeline of building my first information product, sales page, and shopping cart in the next 2 weeks.

It has worked for you and will work for me and countless others. All the best to you!
Meghan

So many pieces of your story resonate, Kevin. From losing the farm in Iowa to divorced parents to initial failure online, maxed out credit cards, dollar meals, mlm, wanting to support others-especially single moms, and maybe most of all…when well-meaning friends and family encouraged you to give up your dreams, get a job. KUDOS for sticking with it through all of that and for creating opportunities for others online that are legit and powerful.

Best to YOU for all you do from Carol in St. Lou

Thanks for your story… It just goes to show what happens when you don't give up.

Hey Kevin,

You have an amazing mind. Loved your story about selling golf balls. My first job was harvesting night crawlers to sell to bait shops. It was nasty, but I made a few hundred. Not bad for a 13 year old kid. My writing business has done well, but not so much lately with the difficult economy. Your story made me realize that I want to earn an income while fulfilling my passion for writing fiction. Somehow, I'll find a way.

Hi Kevin,
Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us. You seem like a genuinely nice guy and I am happy for your success. I am particularly pleased to hear that you do give back by way of your non profits and scholarships. I have been a single mom for years and I know how very hard it is. It is my dream to one day help women like me and your sister to find their power to create a wonderful life for themselves and their children.
God bless you

Kevin,

Thank you for your truly inspiring story. I could relate to many of the things you shared. From selling stuff door to door as a kid, to wanting to create a scholarship fund(without scholarships, I would've never been able to attend college).

Having taken the traditional "get a degree and get a job" route to success, I was never truly happy and always wanted to work for myself and be able to contribute on a larger scale. It took me much longer than you to take the leap to entrepreneurship and learn the difference between "playing" at business and "doing" business.

Failure is just a stepping stone to success!

Thank you,again,for posting such an inspiring video…we all need a little encouragement from time to time.

Best,

Cara Yowell

Thank you for telling your story I really needed to hear it today especially. It's so hard not to give up sometimes. And so lonely when no one else shares your dream of being able to succeed online. I mean the people in your life telling you to give it up it's a waste of time etc. But I just can't seem to give up on my dream so thank you for the encouraging words. I can't afford your program but I have been following you for awhile and joined your affiliate program. I'm sure it is a good product. Keep doing good for others it really makes a difference and God bless you.

How much does your program cost?

What a great breakthrough — deciding to 'Do' business, not just play around with business. Can't wait to check out your system!

Seems like every successful internet entrepreneur went through rock bottom. I'm at the bottom and trying to climb back up.

Great video Kevin! Thanks for taking the time to make it. I always love hearing stories like yours. Especially after I've hung out with you a few times. It's very inspiring and you certainly deserve all your success. I look forward to the next time we get to hang. Take care till then.

Mike D

Your story is very inspiring Kevin and it sometimes start at the other end.

At 59 I lost my job and all security I had. So much so that I do not even have the money for a cup of coffee, but… on the other hand I was fortunate because my wife had a really high paying job. Unfortunately that has also become unstable now due to the recession.

So now I'm where you were. The only difference is that it is at a time when you should be covered against something like that.
It just goes to show that there are no guarantees in life and that you are responsible for your own successes and failures.

Well, thanks again for the inspiration. I have to go and start my life again, only this time with a little more wisdom.

Kevin,
I, too, am in the struggling phase, and the "not going to give up my dreams of making a living online" ! I am studying and learning but just not making any money. I have always been an entreprenuer it seems. I am a musician, playing guitar and still performing in a rock band here in the Miami area! I discovered MLMs and etc back in the early 90s and from there promptly went on to fail at every one of those. I have long since given up on MLMs and am now hell bent to figure out internet marketing and affilliate marketing. I do not have a product of my own. Yet. I would welcome any help. Going to check out your free blueprints.
If I can afford your program, I likely will get it. Great story. Seems genuine. Congratulations. Michael … a Texas boy now in Miami FL

Awe ,aspiring beautiful story: From golf-balls to Nitro! Two popular non-profits have benefited,so it seemed heart-felt and inspiring. And you fathom to think the online help would parallel.

Hi Kevin,

We're both have Jack Zufelt as our mentor… I went to his TZE in Singapore 2006. Thanks for doing what you do Kevin. God Bless!

-Sam

Just like everyone else, I am looking for the way to make the adventure happen. I hope your version of the story will bring me to the gates of "moneyheaven". Thanks for offering 5 videos to take me there..

Thanks for the videos!

Amazing story and I feel that me and my partner are about to achieve the same. Just figured out and solved the TRAFFIC issue, which has been the biggest challenge so far. Now it's just about tweaking and adjusting.

Frequent, hard work is the only thing that matters in this business as long as you are on the right path.

Again, great story!

Best regards
Andre

Great story, hope to be there soon as well.

I believe it all comes down to persistence, hard work and doing the right things. It's a true kick though to see that others succeed….congrats !!!

hello Kevin

your story its a true inspiration for me and reason is im going thru the same situation as you back in the day.

but im not worried, im really pasionate about internet marketing and micro niche marketing in some kind of way im not worried at all because im 100% sure that im gonna have success because i was able to idetify my passion in life very early.

Im 25 years old my economic situation its not the best, i really dont like my job jaja, but i know that i have to keep going and feed my mind of knowledge every day and learn something new.

Just like you i know deep inside of me that im meant to have my own bussines and be succesful, ts just matter of time and effor.

I got the right mindset , sometime things get pretty ugly but that only gives me strenth to continue lerning from people like you in how to get my bussiness up and running the soonest possible.

Im very grateful for this inspirational video and im 100% sure that someday not very far away i will make a video just like yours from my 1.000.000.00 dlls house somewhere (niiice!") jeje.

Thank you once again and keep it up

God bless you

Hi Kevin,

Just have to clear the lump out of my throat…hmmmhmmm….okay that's better. I truly was choked up after taking all that in. Your sincerity shines through like sunshine.

I had heard of your name before as I've been trying to do this internet-marketing thing for a couple of years now. I had not realized that you are at the level you are at, nor how humble your start was. I am inspired! There is hope for me…I know there is.

My story starts like yours…built things up pretty good….lost it all (materially, I still have the wonderful family and we all have our health)…I am at ground zero again with wife and 3 children.

Well, hopefully my story will end like yours!

Before I sign off, have one quick question: Is it easier to climb the mountain if you have your own product?

God Bless you & yours!

Tony.

I'll admit I originally stopped to listen because I'm from Iowa, but I was sucked into your story like everyone else. There is so much failure in the internet marketing industry, it's nice to be reminded of the success that's possible with a rags-to-riches story that actually sounds sincere.

Kevin, I don't believe or trust anybody anymore as I have been ripped off for years on here and am sorry I ever turned this damn computer on. Think it was a little easier back in 01 my friend. 5 years of wasted time and effort is the way I look at it ! Should have just stuck with building cars….. Brent AKA Mopargrovis

Kevin, thank you for sharing your journey. I believe that success is 95% attitude and willingness to to trust oneself. You exemplify that! Congratulations on your success.

I always motivated by you, your opinion and way of thinking, again, appreciate for this nice post.

When you mentioned your friend the Cable repair man it hit a nerve with me. I am also a cable repair technician and like your friend I am also miserable and want to stay at home with the kids. I have been at this internet marketing stuff for the past 5 months but haven't really jumped on 100%. I plan on being successful and just need to find the right path. Well hopefully I will be a success story and inspiration to others very soon. You life story really encourages me to stay focused

I wish I could relate to your success story. As it stands I'm still in the beginning part of my own adventure of being successful. I also came from a farming family and still visit my family regularly on their farms. I really wanted to get away from that and this video showed me anyone can do it.

Thanks for inspiration.
–Zane

Yes, telling your story is part of marketing and hitting the emotional side of your customers. Telling the true story is even better to gaining trust of your potential customers. Every sales copy i have seen so far had the hard hitting- down and out, homeless, jobless,moneyless, husbandless etc. story line to it- would also make a great movie. But the only factor is action in your online business. Lots of great training, including this site, everywhere on the internet.
thanks for your work-keep it up
hstone

Well done Kevin, you are an inspiration. I know from experience thats its very tough & lonely at times being an internet marketer, but I suppose you have to keep on going. Unfortunatley this is at the point when many people give up - just when they are on the cusp of success.

Its guy like you that get over that to become a success and we should learn from the best.

Keep it up
Brian

Kevin I always like to here stories of successful marketing thanks for sharing…

I share my story with my 'internet marketing' subscribers as well I find that when you share your personal story the good and the bad people can relate to you much more as well as learn from your mistakes not to mention get to know you better ..of course.

Kevin, others may have noted this already, but your presentation on the video has got to be one of the most sincere and unassuming I've ever seen. …and yes, you are an inspiration for anyone who wants to go from humble beginnings to considerable success!

Hi Kevin! Thanks for sharing your life's story…. inspiring.

Was that guy you partnered with early on and made his squeeze page and sold 100k in six weeks was that Mark Joyner?

Great and inspirational video Kevin. Always great to tell stories like this. Many times it is sharing something like this that inspires people even more some that the "how to's". Keep it coming.

Great post really enjoyed reading it.
