Drum Roll Please….And the Mystery Guest Instructor is…
Update: We’ve had a lot of fun with this. And you’ve been great. We had some good guesses including Alex Mandossian, Yanik Silver, Joel Comm, Casey Kasem (huh!), John Assaraf, Brendon Bruchard, Jeff Walker,and even Napoleon Hill – my personal favorite…
But it’s time to announce the Mystery Guest Instructor. And I couldn’t be more pleased. He’s been one of my mentors for a long time.
I’ve purchased a ton of his products and done personal coaching with him. I’ve followed him on Facebook and admired his conviction to his beliefs and his commitment to practicing them.
He will be our final instructor on Saturday to the joint session at NAMS7.
Of course, it’s Jimmy D. Brown.
Jimmy is known for simplicity, integrity and priorities. He’s built a million-dollar business using basically three elements: eMail, information products and Clickbank. He’s built this business by leveraging an army of affiliates and perfecting the concept of content re-use.
Keeping his business so simple has allowed him to focus on his family, church, tennis and now 11 marathons, all this while working at a pace that the rest of us only admire. He’s the Gold standard for efficiency and balance as an online marketer.
And after being on some of the biggest stages with the brightest Internet marketers, he is ending his 7-year absence by appearing at NAMS7. I’m really looking forward to meeting and learning from Jimmy D. Brown.
If you don’t have your NAMS7 ticket yet, it’s not too late. Join us in Atlanta, Feb. 10-12, 2012. Click here to find out more.
Who’s the Mystery Guest and what’s his secret?
Do you remember Gary Moore and the game show “I’ve Got a Secret“?
If you do, man, you’re as old as me. It ran from 1952 to 1967 and the host for nearly all of those years was the man who started the buzz cut – Garry Moore.
The point of the show was that he would bring out a guest with a secret and the panel of four celebrities would have to question the visitor until they guessed his secret.
Some them were hilarious. Some very noteworthy like these guests:
- Col Harland Sanders (“I started my restaurant with my first Social Security check”)
- Philo T. Farnsworth (“I invented electronic television”)
- Pete Best (“I used to be one of The Beatles”)
- and Samuel J. Seymour, (an elderly man, who was the last surviving eye witness to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination he was five years old at the time)
Well, I’ve got a secret too.
We have a Mystery Guest appearing Saturday evening at the NAMS7 event. This person is a heavyweight…in internet marketing stature! In fact, if you’ve been online at anytime at all, you probably have purchased some of Mystery Guest’s material. And you’ve certainly used some of Mystery’s techniques.
Everyone does, at least if you want to be successful.

So, who do you think it is? Put your guess in the box below…
I believe Shawn and Susanne are correct – Jimmy D. Brown will be in the house!
Joel Comm?
Ok, I’m going to have to change my guess. Jeff Walker doesn’t have a lot of reports that I’m aware of and Jimmy D. Brown is the King of reports so I’m going to have to change to Jimmy D. Brown as well.
Yep, I’m guessing Jimmy D. Brown.
Clues #18 and #19 tipped me off. Jimmy is about as close to a preacher as you can get without being one and he may actually be one, don’t know. Awhile back he even wrote a book about Jesus. So he does sound a bit like a Baptist Preacher to me.
Of course I hope it’s Jimmy, I’d certainly love to meet him. He’s been an inspiration to me
Hmmm, thought I’d guessed very early on — maybe it was on Facebook. Anyway, JIMMY D. BROWN. Gotta be!
I am excited to believe Jimmy D Brown will be at NAMS! I have to admit that it took me until clue #26 to feel sure, but who else could it be!!
I’m joining the Jimmy D. Brown bandwagon.
