Who Are These CrazyFoxes?
Great question, and thanks for asking! We love to tell our story.
It all began in the summer of 2006. Cindy Bolley and I, Karen Weir, met when we joined the same marketing team made up ofVeretekk members, and led by SEO Specialist, Jim Gras. Looking back, this was like attending internet marketing university. We both had been marketing online for a while, and knew a little about a lot, but not a lot about any one thing. As members of Mentors In Motion, and Veretekk, we began to connect with people who really knew what they are doing. People who were willing and able to give us the guidance that we needed.
We began to develop and hone our skills, as did other members of our group. We began to truly understand the art and science of building a business, and of building a team, online. Making money online didn't happen overnight. It was a slow, sometimes painfully slow, process. But we perservered.
The one primary lesson we both learned was that is so much more fun to work in a group. Not only more fun, but more productive. You need to have a mastermind group. You need to surround yourself with people smarter than you are. And then you need to pass on what you know and what you learn. I learned that the best way to learn is to teach. Cindy and I became trainers for our group, and then we moved on to become Veretekk trainers... further challenging ourselves to learn and to grow.
The marketing group we worked with was comprised mainly of men. We began to notice that men and women tend to think and to market differently. We felt that much of the advertising and the training was really geared toward men, and thought we were missing out a huge market... not only that, but we were beginning to feel a little isolated. Let me put this in plain language... our thinking was that the predominately male influence was more about competition than creation. We felt like we were surrounded and being smothered by the ultra male ego! The talk was about cooperation, but the walk, at least appeared to us, to be competitive. We're all for challenging one another, but this practise just did not resonate with us. We assumed it was a difference beween the sexes, and thus, the CrazyFoxOnline blog was born.
We made an interesting discovery. Actually, we made several discoveries, but while we were successful in targeting women, we seemed to attract the attention of men as well. It turned out that our feelings about the competition factor being a male thing... wasn't. It is a philosophy, and a way of life. We believe in creation over competition. When we are creating, we have no need to compete. There is no competition when you understand that you are a creator - a creator of your own business, your own life, your own reality.
While we have steered fairly clear (not completely of course... it is an election year!) of politics in our CrazyFoxOnline blog, we made another discovery as we worked together and got to know each other. We could not have more opposing views if we were complete enemies! When it comes to perspectives and political views, Cindy and I are in total opposition. That was a real surprise to me, and a valuable lesson too! Where we are in total unison, however, is in our belief that diversity is the spice of life.
Because of our common belief that each and every individual on this planet is a special and unique individual with his or her own special skills and talents, we didn't even realize how different we are. We learned that some people have gone through decades of life without discovering their special skills, talents and attributes. We have enjoyed the miracle of witnessing many of those people discover their talents, and their worth when they begin their online marketing career.
We've learned a lot about a lot of things, not just marketing. Through this process, we have grown as business owners, but also as people. We've been challenged and we've learned new marketing strategies, and learned from some of the greats such as Joel Comm, Brad Fallon, and Bob Proctor to name just a few. We've discovered more about ourselves, each other and the human race. And through this process, we have met some amazing people, many of whom are now members of our CrazyFoxes Marketing Group.
The CrazyFoxes Marketing Group really took form in the summer of 2008. Earlier, I had been introduced by a member of my Veretekk downline, to the $200 Per Day Blueprint. It was timely to say the least, because Cindy and I had begun to move in a new direction with Affiliate Marketing, and we were talking about creating a step by step training to assist our Veretekk members in getting their systems producing. I read Adam Bauthues $200 Per Day Free Report, and joined more out of curiosity than a real intention of marketing it. Once inside, I realized that this was no coincidence. It was the Law of Attraction in action. I had attracted the very "blueprint" we were striving to create. There was really no need to create another. This had everything we needed!
In July, 2008, I was conducting a Veretekk training on blogging. At the end of the session, one of the participants, Robbie Bracco and I got into a conversation. She had been in Veretekk for a couple of years, but was not properly set up and didn't really know or understand the system. I offered her my blueprint. As it turned out, Robbie followed the blueprint, and got her system set up. She discovered that even though she didn't know it, her Veretekk system had been working, and producing an income! Robbie quickly saw the power of the system, and when the Platinum Control Panel was introduced at a Veretekk meeting, she pounced on it. Now I say she pounced on it because she had no clue what to do with it... but she had a vision... and that vision included me.
Robbie knew that I had a good grasp and understanding of how to market the Veretekk Marketing system. We entered into a joint venture building our $200 Per Day Blueprint team using the Platinum Control Panel. The beautiful thing about the $200 Per Day Blueprint is that it does not interfere with any other opportunity or business you may be operating. In fact, it only enhances it by building and growing your network, and your sphere of influence. Robbie has been a leader in her primary business, for over 10 years. What she saw in the CFMG was an opportunity to provide her downline with some real resources, marketing tools, and people who could teach them how to market effectively.
Our group has grown at an amazing rate. We have implemented some of the ideas that moved Cindy and I in this direction to begin with - that being the cooperative marketing model. Each member of the group has played a part in shaping the group. There is a definite culture of cooperation, comradery and we are seeing the emergence of several leaders. Although we are in our infancy, you can just feel the energy of this group, and watching the progress is amazing. We are attracting the right people to get what we need to keep propelling us forward. Steve Ward is our in house programmer, whose special talent has enabled us to create our own replicating system. Steve is a true leader in every sense of the word. We are all so very grateful that he has chose to work with us!
With members from around the world, the CrazyFoxes Marketing Group is making history. We are developing and creating our own unique cooperative marketing system. It is one of a kind and is ever evolving. It will always be evolving as our group evolves and grows. Our members play a role in the shaping of our group, our systems and our methods. Clearly, we are not concerned with competition. We are concerned with creating, and our mission is to create prosperity for each and every member of our group.
