That’s right, I’ve been interviewed by this young dude named Rob over on this appropriately named site RobsWebTips.com. At first I was hesitant to let a teenager interview me… fucking kids. But then I went over to his site let me tell you, I was actually impressed. Now how often does that happen? This man’s got direction and ambition at an early stage in his life and if I can give him some goods and direct him on the right path then what the hell… why not?

Here’s are little excerpt of the interview (As always, I held nothing back)

Rob: …Great advice man, you do make a point they could be losing a big portion of their company’s revenue because they are not focusing on the larger percentage of the clients. Throughout your career working online, has there been anyone you look up to as an inspiration? (You can name more than one person)

FJ: Hell yeah. And of course I’ll name more than one person… that’s a given. I only get inspired by those who are successful, those who’ve “made it” or are at a level where I want to be at. They are the “big dogs” in their respective fields/niches.

Here’s my list:
Frank Kern (Mass Control. Marketing genius)
Darren (ProBlogger a bald dude making 6 figures blogging? He’s doing something right.)
Eben Pagen (Get Altitude & Double Your Dating. Makes millions from info products!)
Gary Vaynerchuk (WineLibrary TV)
iJustine (yes, she uses her cuteness, so what? Branding at it’s best)
Tony Robbins (No better person to turn to if you lack motivation)
Seth Godin (You can’t call yourself a serious blogger unless you’ve read at least ONE of his books)
Mike Dillard (Magnetic Sponsoring)
Marina Orlova (HotForWords… she leverages her greatest assets and monetizes it. How can you hate?)
Mystery (From The Pickup Artist. His archive is the stuff of legend. Brilliant man)
Dooce (Probably the benchmark for all mommy bloggers. MILF!)
John Chow (He’s not a pretty dude, but he is smart dude)
Charles Poliquin (This man is a genius of a strength coach… tho some say he’s going crazy)
Brian Clark (Copyblogger)
Hughes Hefner (He’s like 70 and still gets laid more than a rock star. Enough said)

I respect what these people have accomplished but I don’t “look up” to them; that’s such a pathetic term. No one is “above me”… they’re just human! And what ONE human can do, another can replicate, or even improve upon. It just so happens that they have the knowledge and skill set that many lack, which is why their are at the top of their game.

See, in my mind, I’m on the same level as them, I just need to hone my execution… and learning from these individuals will help me do that. Those that think I’m being delusional need to get their head straight. Nobody who is big in the present day ever thought that they were small in the past.
