Seth: Today I have the good fortune to be interviewing a very interesting business. We've got Brian Wright with us today from FA Bean Counters Dot Com. Brian, thank you so much for joining us today, and if you could introduce who you've got with you, that would be great.

Brian: Yeah, thanks for having me. With me I have my co-founder, both in business and in life, Kitrina Wright, my wife.

Kitrina: Hello.

Seth: Hi. Mr. and Mrs. Wright. All right. I'm sure you guys get that a lot.

Brian: Yes, we do. I got a lot of mileage out of that in high school with all my friends' moms.

Seth: Ah, I won't take the bait on that one. How did you get started in terms of FA Bean, how did you get started in the industry, and then how did you get to FA Bean Counters?

Brian: Sure. Well, I am a certified financial planner by trade, so I've been in the industry 10 plus years, working first in the banking industry and then I moved over to fee-only financial planning, working with high network clients. Then a couple of years ago, I left my job-job, where I worked for a boss-boss, and started my own firm, my own financial planning firm. Along the way, and I'm rewinding back 10 years when I started in the industry, my wife had started her own accounting practice at that time. I was working at a firm. She went out on her own, kind of started at 0 clients, and over the last 10 years has been building an accounting practice.

Fast forward back to 2 years ago, I left my firm, kind of joined forces with her, started our own financial advisory practice. She had a 10 year old plus accounting practice, doing accounting, bookkeeping. She's a CPA, so those are her skill sets, accounting, tax, bookkeeping. We went into business doing the financial planning, startup for a financial planning firm. Well, during that process, we met up and we were introduced to a very influential thought leader in our industry by the name of Michael Kitces, and got to know him pretty well, he and Alan Moore as well. They're both co-founders of XY Planning Network, which is a professional network for like-minded, very tech focused financial planners all over the country, all over the world I guess, international, some members.

We were introduced to them, got to know them pretty well. We are a member of that network, XY Planning Network, and just in that friendship, they approached us really and said, "Hey. There's a need in our industry for outsource bookkeeping for financial advisors. We see a huge opportunity. This is a skill set that a financial planner, although financial planners are very smart people, accounting and bookkeeping, double entry bookkeeping, debits-credits, not in the wheelhouse of most financial advisors. This is something that they could easily outsource. It's something they shouldn't be spending their time on. It's not revenue generating. They should be spending every waking moment with clients or working on clients, or trying to find clients. Bookkeeping is something they could easily outsource, and there is no one out there in the marketplace that's targeting financial advisors. There are a number of virtual bookkeepers out there, yes, but we have a lot of moving parts in our industry with compliance and things like that."

They said, "We see a huge opportunity for an accounting practice targeting specifically financial advisors." He was like, "We want to launch this accounting practice. The problem is we don't know anything about running an accounting practice. Fortunately, Brian and Kitrinado." That's kind of how Bean Counters came along, just partnering with an uber-influential thought leader in a particular niche, and it was an easy question for us to answer, and easy decision to make, certainly, partnering with someone of the caliber and influential level of Michael. That's what we did last summer. Last summer we launched,

So What is Advisor Digital Marketing?

http://www.advisorinternetmarketing.com/

My name is Jovan Will and I work with the top financial advisors across the country to prosper in the digital age. My passion is helping advisors achieve greater levels of success using advanced technology and marketing strategies.

Why Should You Listen To Me?

I’ll happily address that question, but first let me ask you a few simple questions:

How many leads did you generate through your website in the last 30 days?

How many qualified appointments were scheduled on your calendar through your website?

How much business did you write in the last 6 months from your website?

If you answered these questions honestly and are NOT happy with the results you produced, then read on, this blog was made for you.

My goal with this blog is plain and simple…to share with you proven digital marketing strategies.

“My mission is to empower YOU to prosper in the digital age.”

And by empower, I don’t mean some BS mission statement that you read on the wall of your local fast-food franchise. I will be revealing to you proven digital marketing strategies to help you find more qualified prospects using your website.

I will be sharing with you my discoveries on how you can build your dream business and live a life that you truly love, while enriching the lives of your clients at the same time.

My Story?

I left a 9-5 job in pursuit of the American dream to build my own business and got involved in home-based business industry. I went to every single training event at hotel meetings, exotic destinations and conference calls and I was an overnight success! Well, actually NOT even close! Eventually, I ended up having stockpiles of unsold inventory, mountains of debt and I got stuck in the NFL club…

…And by NFL club, I mean No-Friends-Left Club because I ran out of qualified prospects to buy my wares. The funny thing is, I wasn’t alone. I later discovered that many business owners struggle with this same problem of not having enough people to get in front of on a daily basis.

I stumbled across the Number #1 rule in growing a business… “Marketing is the LifeBlood of Your Business!” and I quickly learned, that if I didn’t have a consistent flow of qualified leads, my business was doomed from the start.

To fix this problem I spent pretty much every dollar I had on dozens of online courses, coaching programs, DVDs, workshops, and training boot camps.

Jovan Will – financial advisor digital marketing training

I finally stumbled up on a formula for success online and ended up joining another business opportunity. I launched online sales funnels that help pre-sort, pre-qualify, and pre-sell my prospects (24/7 on autopilot) EVEN before I spoke with them, and thus I was able to consistently sell $2,000, $5,000 & $10,000 programs to my clients (around the globe) 100% over the phone and using desktop sharing programs.

As I was building my home-based business, I noticed an unprecedented opportunity in the financial services industry for advisors to adopt these proven digital marketing strategies into practice and thus leverage technology to generate a consistent stream of qualified prospects on auto-pilot.

I discovered that very few “financial people” actually know how to generate leads online and convert those leads into actual sales. I set out to change that.

Okay, so why should you listen to me…

Since embarking in the financial services industry several years ago, I’ve launched online lead generation programs (using 100% digital marketing strategies) that have produced hundreds of millions of dollars in financial product sales.

Most of my childhood was spent without a permanent father figure in my life. I never learned how to work on my car, I never had the chance to roughhouse with my dad, I didn’t even learn how to throw a baseball correctly until I was a freshman in high school.

Looking back on it now, I wonder how my life would have been different if I had a permanent male influence in my life. What would the world look like if there were more men in it? I’m not talking about males. I’m talking about MEN (there is a difference).

Now that I have sons, I’m committed to being the dad that I never had. We do all kinds of great things together-sports (I coach ALL their teams), build tree houses, and roughhouse ’til we’re exhausted.

As I talk with other men, I can see that there is a huge need for learning how to be a better father. But I’ve also seen a need for strong and honorable men outside of the home.

Guys, we’re losing the meaning of manhood. We’ve gone away from being strong, rugged, independent, and tough to a collection of wimpy, dependent, whiners. Something has got to be done!

And that is why I started Order of Man. We’re going to take back what it means to be a man. We’re going to learn together from the best men the world has to offer. And we’re going to return to our roots of masculinity.

I am not an expert. I am learning! And, the only thing that qualifies me to do this work is that I have a passion for self-improvement. My goal is to take my shortcomings in life and make them my strengths.

I didn’t get to learn from great men most of my young life but I figure it’s never to late to start. Join me and let’s become better men together!

She has real estate investment interests in Australia, France and the United States, and has travelled extensively, initially gaining investment experience in residential real estate across three countries in which she built and renovated homes she then leased out. Lillie is well placed to compare the benefits of the little-known industrial real estate investment opportunity to the more commonly known residential real estate investment domain.

She lives in Sydney, and has industrial property investment interests in small unit factories, larger conventional warehouses, and industrial property trusts.

Prompted by the discovery that very few women invest in industrial real estate, Lillie explored the reasons why. She shares her knowledge and experience in this straight-forward step-by-step guide, encouraging women of all ages to earn passive income in an investment sector traditionally seen as a male domain.

Hello, my name is Chris. Since you’re looking for a competent financial planner, however, and these websites are supposed to impress you, let me put it like this: I have been in the financial services business since 1993, helping individuals, pre-retirees, retirees and small business owners find the right answers to their financial planning questions. I'm a Certified Financial Planner Practitioner, an Accredited Estate Planner, a Chartered Mutual Fund Counselor, and am Certified in Long-term Care.

You know what, though? A lot of people have letters after their name. What they don’t necessarily have, however, is understanding, empathy, sensitivity, and a sense of humor. That’s the difference between a good financial planner, and a great financial life planner.

As I mentioned in that last section, I’ve been in the financial services arena since 1993. Prior to that I was involved in advertising, sales, and since age four I’ve been playing drums (and man, are my arms tired…). It’s fascinating how all those seemingly unrelated pursuits coalesced into a unique foundation, giving me insights into a myriad of financial planning issues. For example, musicians aren’t known for making a lot of money--after playing professionally for a number of years, not only was I broke, but I was $20,000 in debt (and back in 1984 that was a lot of money!) So I know what it means to experience financial stress. I realized in what a dangerous position I had placed myself, so with the help of the financially-savvy pastor of the church I was attending I set up a payment regime. Within two years I was debt-free. So I also know what it means to overcome severe financial obstacles. Since that time my wife and I have worked hard and achieved a successful life for ourselves and our two sons. So I know the challenges of deciding the best places to invest and grow wealth.

After beginning my career with Prudential Financial, I accepted the position of Regional Director for Money Concepts Capital Corp. Money Concepts has afforded me the opportunity to continue growing my practice, and in so doing, helping others to grow, too.

Education

1977-79 - Centralia College, AA degree, education

1989-91 - The University of Washington, BA degree, communications

1998 - The College for Financial Planning, Chartered Mutual Fund Counselor designation

2005 - The American College, Master of Financial Services

2010 - Tacoma Covenant Bible Seminary, Master of Biblical Studies

2011 - Tacoma Covenant Bible Seminary, Master of Divinity (counseling emphasis)

(By the way, those last two are so I can reassure people when they think their investments haven’t got a prayer…!)

Achievements

This is the section of the website where I’m supposed to impress you with all my career achievements, so here goes: I have been a qualifying member of the Million Dollar Round Table every year since 1996 with two Court of the Table honors. I have received considerable industry recognition; achieving Prudential Gold Level Financial Planner status, Presidents Hall of Honor, Prudential Masters Council, the Financial Planning Vanguard Award, several Presidents Citations, Associate of the Year, Investment Leader, Financial Planner of the year, the Distinguished Sales and Marketing Award, and Great American’s “Advantage Plus” award, among others. I have spoken to many industry and public groups over the years, written articles and been interviewed by Kiplinger’s Finance Magazine, Dow Jones Newswire and others.

While a member of the Tacoma #8 Rotary Club, one of the largest in the Country, I was awarded “Rotarian of the Year.”

Perhaps my most significant achievement, though (outside of marrying my wife Vicki and raising my two sons) is that in 2003 I founded a Guinness Word Record-breaking charity event I...

Cathy Curtis, Certified Financial Planner™ Passion. Success. Transparency. Service. These four qualities define how financial planner and investment adviser Cathy Curtis lives her life and runs her business. She is fueled by passion for what she does and her business is rooted in personal success. She opted for transparency as a business model—no hidden costs or behind-the-scene incentives—which reinforces the satisfaction she gets from being of service.

In Cathy's case, being of service means doing something she loves and excels at for the benefit of others who: 1) don't know how, 2) are intimidated or fearful, or 3) who have no interest or time to do for themselves what a trained and trusted expert can do better. Ask anyone in her family and they will tell you that Cathy was born with a brain for business. Her favorite game, as a child, was something she made up called "Important Papers." She would collect old bills and invoices that her dad was ready to discard and tell her siblings they were "playing business".

Early in her career, Cathy recognized a need that was neglected by most advisors and set out to help savvy women make wise decisions about money. Cathy spent some years climbing the various corporate ladders. She would strive for positions where she could be successful, entrepreneurial and independent. But along the way, she noted discrimination and inequality. "Often I saw women doing the grunt work and men making the money." And she learned that the glass ceiling and wage discrepancies were facts of life for many women. This motivated her to focus on women in her own business and it's one of the main reasons she gets great satisfaction helping women become financially independent and secure around money.

In her 20's, Cathy discovered the joys of reading business journals and company reports. She also learned that if she liked what a company was doing, she could buy a piece of it by investing in stocks. She found she had a knack for choosing the right companies and investing well and quickly discovered the advantages of creating and maintaining a second income stream through wise investment in stocks and property. As she watched her money grow, she saw that having this passive income liberated her from being limited by her salary.

It wasn't a great leap for her to start seriously studying financial planning and launch her own business in financial planning. Now with over 13 years of experience working with clients to deliver sound financial advice, she provides a fresh perspective to the prescribed way of thinking about money. Her driving motivation is to empower women to achieve their life goals and see money as a source of choice and liberation.

Being a Fiduciary

Cathy decided to work as an independent fee-only investment advisor and financial planner because she wanted to do business on her own terms. She felt in this way she could always do what was best for her clients. As a fiduciary, Cathy is legally bound by a code of ethics requiring the highest obligation of care, good faith and trust to always act in her clients' best interest. Cathy is independent of proprietary products, sales quotas or other conflicts of interest that could influence our advice.

Empowering Women

Cathy's clients are individuals who admit they need help and want to work with someone they can trust; who are savvy about money but who "know what they don't know"; and who could do it themselves, but don't have the time or the interest. Cathy loves working with women who are in charge of the finances for themselves or for their families.

Adam Dailey has been in the sports business for almost 20 years. He was the CEO and Co-Founder of Ludus Tours, an Inc. 500 business that he sold in 2013.

I’ve been in the mortgage business for 14 years as a loan officer and branch manager and have helped over 2000 families get financing on their home loan. I believe in old school philosophies of doing business and incorporate new school strategies to help my clients reach their goals.

Fun Facts about Alex

I was born and raised on the north side of Chicago and grew up about 15 minutes from Wrigley Field. Yes, I am a diehard Chicago Cub fan and hopefully in my lifetime I will see them finally win a World Series. I am the youngest of two and my sister still lives at home with my folks who are as Greek as they come. I have a beautiful wife here in San Diego that I spend a lot of my free time with. We’ve been together for over 12 years and are grateful for everything that we have. I have three beautiful children – George, Ava, and Alexander – and I’m so blessed to be their father. I love spending time with my family and being active enjoying the San Diego outdoors with them.

I look forward to the opportunity to grab a cup of coffee and discuss a little bit about life with you, as well as dive in deeper to your financial situation to help you secure the best mortgage that is tailored to your financial goals. I believe that the largest financial transaction you will ever make requires a professional, well-designed financial plan. Because after all, it’s not just a house, it’s your home!

In closing, that is why my team and I understand that buying a home doesn’t always take place between business hours of 9am to 5pm that is why I am always available after hours via text message or email to assist you and your Realtor with any questions and concerns on your file. My goal is to take the stress out of buying a home and see that you have an exceptional lending experience with me and my team.

John Dwyer (known as “JD” by most of his clients) is a marketing enigma.

When it comes to creating sales for small businesses, his “thinking” is refreshingly unconventional.

Thank goodness!

Because there are way too many so-called marketing experts out there who simply pedal the same old “marketing 101″ philosophies which mostly fail miserably.

John preaches “in a sea of sameness in your industry, you need to stand out like a beacon – and the best way to do this is by using wow factor marketing techniques”.

John thinks “way outside the square” and brings proven wow factor ideas to the table for small business owners – not the motherhood marketing waffle we all hear from many self-professed advertising experts.

Hi, my name is Jeremy Reeves.

Through my various products and services, I help business owners increase profits, gain more time freedom and get more consistent cash flow (among dozens of other benefits) by building sales funnels.

I've worked with the worlds leading entrepreneurs, adding literally tens of millions to their bottom lines...

I've been asked to speak at private, "invite-only" marketing events for industry leaders...

I've written for the top blogs in the marketing industry such as Visual Website Optimizer, KISSMetrics, CrazyEgg, Social Triggers and countless others...

But but before we get into that, let's start at the beginning...

On the day after I asked my wife to marry me, I sat next to her and made a promise.

I promised her that no matter how hard I had to work... no matter what it took or what we had to go through... I was going to become successful enough to support her so she could raise our future children.

At this point - I had NO idea how I would do it.

We were flat broke. We could barely afford to put food on the table, let alone have kids and let her stay at home to raise them.

But I made her a promise... and I keep my promises.

She's worth every second of struggle we went through in the early days...

Since I had a degree in human psychology, I realized that wouldn't cut it.

I've always been fascinated by how the mind works and why people make certain decisions, so wrapping my life around that strength seemed like a good idea.

So I Became A Direct Response Copywriter...

My typical day looked like this:

Get up at 5:30 a.m., working on my business until I had to leave around 7:30 for work.

Work all day, bringing salesletters with me so I could edit them during down times

Get out of work, shower, and leave for job #2

Work until about 10 p.m., again working on my business during down times at my day job

Eventually I left my job and made the leap to making my business full-time.

Within my first full year as a direct response copywriter, I was outperforming people charging 5x what I was. Within 2 years I was outperforming people charging $15,000, plus royalties, for a single salesletter.

Needless to say, I fulfilled my promise to her. She's able to stay home and raise these amazing little boys below (and the crazy dogs) and focus on THEM, with zero money worries

But Becoming A "Copywriter" Was Just Step 1...

One day after analyzing my strengths and weaknesses - it clicked.

I realized that my strength wasn’t just keeping people glued to my writing, it was combining innovative marketing strategies and positioning tactics (like building a sales funnel) with world-class copy.

While most "copywriters" focus on writing - I focused on the things that made more of an impact. The big ideas. The positioning. The congruency between products. The back-end. Simple followup systems.

Today, I'm considered one of the worlds leading authorities on building sales funnels.

Some most well-known marketing blogs in the world ask me to write for them about building sales funnels. A few of them include Visual Website Optimizer, KissMetrics, CrazyEgg, BidSketch, Social Triggers and many others.

I've been asked to speak for private, "invite-only" marketing events...

I've worked with some of the world's leading entrepreneurs (listed below) and have a blast doing it.

I run my own side business - www.Kinowear.com - which gets over 500k visitors per year and is ranked 1 of the top 10 websites in the industry by one of my own competitors.

So the question is... can I help YOU grow your business?

Evergreen Content

A critical piece of social strategy

Conventional wisdom says social media posts are disposable and should be short-lived and current event driven. Our customers are discovering every day how mistaken this concept is and that evergreen content is a must-have!

Twitter

Daily actives is down

Less than half of Twitter’s users log in every day and many suggest a large percentage of their users are bots. Over-thinking each tweet is a costly approach.

Facebook

Reach is plummeting

Because the half life of a post is under an hour and the average reach is under 5%, adherence to publishing frequency is a critical piece of social media strategy.

Dropbox

Your evergreen library management tool

Store your evergreen content library in a dropbox folder you can manage from your desktop, your phone, and even collaborate with your team.

Applying the knowledge he has accrued over decades in the industry, Stephen is able to see what others can’t: opportunities to improve innovation models and the cultures that support them.

The first innovation opportunity Stephen spotted was the opportunity to innovate within his own life. Halfway through his 15-year tenure at Accenture, while leading the company’s business process reengineering practice, he realized he no longer wanted to be responsible for people losing their jobs. So he did exactly the opposite by building Accenture’s thriving 20,000-person process and innovation practice focused on growth and job creation.

In 2001, after publishing his first book, 24/7 Innovation, Stephen left Accenture to become a full-time innovation speaker and advisor to clients around the world. Since then he has published four more books – Goal-Free Living (2006), The Little Book of Big Innovation Ideas (2007), Personality Poker (2010) and Best Practices are Stupid (2011) — and spoken to audiences in 50 different countries.

Today, Stephen continues to focus on transforming the way businesses like 3M, P&G, Marriott, Nike, and Microsoft improve innovation practices through customized and keynote speeches, advisory engagements and other services. Passionate and captivating, Stephen’s high-energy approach to innovation gets audiences out of their seats and into new ways of thinking about their business challenges.

Stephen currently serves on the Board of Directors of National Speakers Association (NSA) and is the recipient of the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation, NSA’s highest earned designation. In 2015 he was inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame.

Stephen is based in Orlando, Florida and loves traveling to meet his clients around the world.

Jim Rohn taught me, “You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.” I wanted to put Jim’s theory to the test but I needed help, a lot of help! With the support of my wife as my coach, my friends, family and mentors as my guides, I decided to do something I had never done before.

It is 8am. I have trained 8 months for this; competing against more than 30,000 people from 116 countries. I am speaker number 8 during the final round of competition on the 88th anniversary of Toastmasters, out of 88 districts around the world and the date is August 18th (8/18).

After the final speaker, we sit with the other 2,000 people in the audience and wait 30 minutes to hear the announcement. My heart is pounding, my palms are sweaty and then I hear it…. “The 2012 World Champion of Public Speaking is… Ryan Avery!”

I guess you can now say my new lucky number is…8.

The next morning, I woke up to 269 emails asking me to speak, coach and train leaders all over the world on how to improve their communication abilities. My wife, friends, family and mentors, showed me things are possible when you surround yourself with the right people and they push you past your limits of what you think you were able to accomplish.

I wanted to travel the world and start right away but I was still working at Special Olympics and didn’t want to quit as I loved what I did for a living. However, I started to see that there is a huge opportunity in this world for people wanting training and we can always be growing, learning and developing our leadership skills.

So after long months of talking, thinking, contemplating and debating, my wife and I decided to take the risk and start our own public speaking business in 2013. We quit our jobs, sold everything we owned except what fit in our car, traveled to Texas to move back in with my parents at 26 years old (true Millennials) and start our company out of a corner in their home. Six months later we got on our feet, moved out and now live in Denver, CO (when you want the hour version of this story, let me know and we can grab a drink).

My wife and in Antarctica I right before we set the new world record of being the youngest couple to professionally speak on all seven continents.

Me and my wife in Antarctica right before we set the new World Record for being the youngest couple to professionally speak on all seven continents in 2015.

This has been an incredible adventure. I still have a lot to learn. Every day I study, search and submerse myself in the art of communication. One of the biggest things I have learned in the past three years doing this full time is this:

When you improve your communication abilities, you increase your leadership capabilities!

Now I am on a mission to train leaders how we can utilize the power of storytelling to get others to take action.

I believe we all have the opportunity to do something in our life that can bring us joy and help others excel. During one of my failed attempts at a recent world record my friends taught me what it means to really feel accomplished and what it means to be the leader: when your actions inspire others to take action, you are the leader.

I am taking charge or my life. I am taking chances. I am taking action. Together, if you will let me, I want to share my journey with you, share strategies and stories with you, via my trainings or blog, of what I am learning and have learned along the way to help us accelerate our achievements.

I believe our communication abilities determine our leadership capabilities so I am on a mission to train leaders around the world in the art of communication! If you are interested in one of my trainings, I look forward to hearing from you. If you are interested in reading my articles or watching my videos I look ...

People Packaging is what I do... It's as simple as that.

People whom we meet make quick decisions about us. Should they hire us? Vote for us? Buy something from us? Seven seconds. This is that brief moment in time when others first see you, or your employees, whether it’s at a meeting, on the job, or at an interview. They may have some prior knowledge of you, but this is the first time they actually lay eyes on you.

I help individuals and companies to explore how people make up their minds very quickly about you, your leadership potential or your company, and either open the door for you or slam it shut.

The good thing is that this process is entirely under your control. You can choose to present yourself as a leader, or not. Because, your image is something you can control. You can make it what you want. You can control the message you send to the people who see you and interact with you. It’s a combination of your dress, your attitude, how you communicate and how you present yourself on the internet. These are all things that you can shape and mold to work in your and your company's favor, and help you to rise to the level of leadership to which you aspire.

Twenty years of corporate experience, educating and inspiring thousands of clients across Europe and around the world, made me familiar with the typical challenges that professionals face in their workplace. Over the years I’ve learned it’s better to craft the way others are going to perceive you, rather than to sit back and hope it’s going to be in a great way.

I'm a professional speaker, corporate trainer and image consultant for professionals who place great importance in themselves and their powerful appearance. I'm also the author of "The Image of Leadership", available on Amazon as print or e-Book.

Marx Acosta-Rubio, 38

Onestop, Canoga Park, California

Projected 2008 sales: $22 million

Description: Office consumables distributor for small businesses

Against all odds: The saying "been there, done that" rings true for Marx Acosta-Rubio. That's not to say he doesn't have room to grow. But over the years, he's encountered almost every roadblock possible. The day in 1998 that Acosta-Rubio was fired from his job was the day before he launched Onestop and set in motion a series of obstacles, including a hysterical relative trying to renege on a loan, failure to collect a year of receivables, a lawsuit and a negligent CFO. But Acosta-Rubio says, "It's those lessons that make us who we are today."

Competitive edge: From the beginning, Acosta-Rubio has kept up with the big names by using a "customer intimacy model," he says. "Our competitors focus on price and availability, but we discovered a market that craves service." His employees contact clients before they need toner cartridges or other office supplies, and they do it over the phone, which is a rarity in this automated, web-based industry. Acosta-Rubio's former employer, who is one of his major competitors today, "did $27 million last year with 112 salespeople; we did $16 million with 14," he says. "Whose model is better? We need to focus on the human aspect of employees and customers."

In retrospect: Like many entrepreneurs, Acosta-Rubio never imagined he'd be where he is today--owner of a multimillion-dollar, 30-employee company. Even so, would he have done anything differently? "Absolutely, 100 percent!" he says. "I would have tried harder, taken bigger risks and made even more mistakes."

Follow his lead: Don't let the fear of failure hold you back from making mistakes--and learning from them.

Online Exclusive

What is your secret to success?

Acosta-Rubio: There are two components. One is based on a quote by one of my mentors, author and speaker Jim Rohn: "Formal education will make you a living; self education will make you a fortune." I think it was my voracious appetite for learning what I didn't know that was the biggest part. So get as much education, both formal and self, as you can.

The other component is based on a quote by author and entrepreneur W. Clement Stone that says failure takes longer than success. The only way to succeed is through massive failure. We live in a society where we're conditioned to be afraid of making mistakes. But if you're only going to be perfect, you're never going to do well.

What advice would you give other entrepreneurs?

Acosta-Rubio: Again, two things. The first is, don't delude yourself. Not everyone is meant to be an entrepreneur. If you don't have an overwhelming obsession, a passion for something you believe the world needs or has to hear, it's not you. You're probably an amazing human being, but I would focus my energies elsewhere. You're an entrepreneur if you can't stop talking about what it is you want to do or what has to change.

Second, don't do it for the money. I made the mistake of starting to change my direction to focus on the bottom line, and my company started to suffer. My relationships with my employees started going down the toilet, and my company didn't grow as fast. You've got to make it about the obsession of what it is you're here to do, and the money will follow.

When did you know you'd "made it"?

Acosta-Rubio: I still don't know! I got to a point two years ago where I thought, "I have arrived! I am wonder boy! I'm a multimillionaire!" But then I almost fell into depression. I thought, "Is this all there is?" I don't think you ever make it. I think if you can wake up on a daily basis and be excited that you have opportunities and challenges and problems, you're making it.
