I recently had the pleasure of spending almost a week with Nicole Dean. We were part of a brainstorming and mastermind group put together by David Perdew, founder and CEO of NAMS, the event I speak at twice each year in Atlanta. David and his wife, Charlsa, live in northern Alabama, and that is where we met. But first I had to get from southern California to Alabama, and that’s how I was able to spend so much time with Nicole.

I flew into Atlanta, and then on to Pensacola, Florida, where Nicole picked me up at the airport. It was almost eight at night when my flight arrived, and we still had almost three hundred miles to drive to get to David and Charlsa’s cabin in the woods in Alabama. Spending time with anyone for this long gives you a unique perspective into their personality and character, and Nicole did not disappoint. I only wish I had been able to record our five hour conversation so I could share it with you.

We finally arrived, and the mastermind began. David’s daughter, Jen, was also a part of this group. What happened during our three days together is a story for another time, but I will tell you that it was life changing for all of us in many ways.

When the mastermind was over Nicole and I made the five hour drive back to Pensacola, where we spent a day and a half at the beach. This time was exactly what I describe in my latest book, The Weekend Marketer™, where I discuss what I refer to as the ‘Quarterly Getaway’. Nicole has been doing this for some time now, and being able to escape to the white sandy shores along the Gulf of Mexico is the perfect setting. It’s less than an hour from her home, and she can do this with her husband, her entire family, with one or two business partners, or simply by herself.

It was during the last two days of this trip that I truly got to know Nicole. She is a brilliant woman, a savvy marketer, and someone you can confide in with both your business and personal issues. We are both ‘only’ children in our families, yet she has a way about her that makes you feel like she is the big sister to everyone she encounters. I love that about her. Nicole will also make you think, even if you resist it and just want to spend some time in ‘not thinking’.

She made me think about how I’ve set up my business and how that suits my lifestyle. Just a few short years ago I would not have been able to fly across the country and spend a week with business friends. Now I can do this several times each year, as well as attending and speaking at more than a half dozen live events each year, and vacationing several times a year with family on two different continents.

Nicole helps people to market their information products and strategize their business. The way I first connected with her was when she was working as an affiliate manager for someone else. Then I started purchasing her PLR (private label rights) content as I was building my business and needed more content.

I would encourage you to connect with Nicole, check out her high quality PLR, and start her fabulous online training on how to market your info products. You’ll be thinking differently real soon, and your life just might change the way mine has changed. You will find that she is approachable, easy to get to know, and totally down to earth. She even pumps her own gasoline!
