Wow! I can't believe this is the 100th issue of my Marketing Tips Newsletter! It seems like just yesterday I was getting ready to mail the first issue -- and here we are celebrating the "centennial anniversary!"

I feel like now is a particularly appropriate time to be celebrating and reflecting back on all our successes over the years -- especially since this 100th issue is coming hot on the heels of the huge free wealth-building seminar I hosted just a couple of weekends ago!

As many of you probably know, I was lucky enough to marry the woman of my dreams this summer -- and to celebrate and thank my customers and subscribers for helping me get to where I am today, on September 24th-26th I threw this giant seminar at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Orange County, California.

You probably remember reading about the event in the invitations I sent you in August and early September. I'm really sorry if all those e-mail reminders started driving you crazy after a while, but I wanted do everything I could to let as many people as possible know about this once-in-a-lifetime event.

After all, how often do you get the chance to hear some of the world's most famous experts on marketing, business management, tax law, and real estate share their biggest wealth-building secrets -- without spending a dime?

Now that it's all over, I've got to tell you: I was a little concerned about how the whole seminar and wedding reception/networking party would turn out. It was the first time I'd ever hosted such a HUGE event. Sure, I've spoken at lots of big seminars before, but they were all organized by other people, and visitors had to pay major bucks to attend. But I'd never tackled such an enormous project before!

And I didn't want to charge people to come to my seminar, either -- not when I was throwing it to celebrate my wedding! The free seminar was my way of saying "thanks" to everyone who has supported me since the early days.

So I spent a lot of time and effort organizing the weekend -- I wanted it to be a massive party! I had to rent the hotel, book the band, plan the banquet, and deal with all sorts of unexpected details (like how to feed 800-1,000 people in 60 minutes!). And then, after going to all that work, I started to worry... I know it sounds kind of stupid, but I was afraid that after going to so much trouble, nobody would want to come!

Well... for those of you who weren't able to make it, I'm really sorry you missed out. The wealth-building seminar was a PHENOMENAL success!

Almost a thousand people showed up to celebrate my marriage, meet my new wife Tracy, and listen to my wealthiest friends and most trusted advisers explain how they've made their fortunes. I'm talking about people like business mastermind Brian Tracy, real-estate expert Ron LeGrand, and marketing guru Paul Hartunian... Their presentations really wowed the entire audience!

I know these guys well and have seen them speak before, and even I was astounded by the overwhelming amount of information they were sharing!

Many of our own big-name clients were also there, speaking on stage about the successes they've achieved with their online businesses and sharing their secrets with the audience. As you can imagine, with so many dedicated entrepreneurs in one room, networking opportunities were everywhere! From the number of business cards I saw changing hands, I'm sure a lot of great business relationships got their start that weekend.

But for me, the most amazing part of the weekend was being able to meet so many of YOU, my long-time subscribers and customers. I can't tell you how great it was to finally get to know you in person!

I was literally blown away by the number of people who came up to tell me about their successes. I met so many people who'd quit their day jobs to pursue Internet businesses, and are now making $200,000... $500,000... $800,000... $2 million... even $8 million+ a year!

And the crazy part was that they all kept saying that they got to where they are today by using the information and strategies I've shared with them!

I can't tell you how humbling it was to discover that I'd made such a positive difference in so many people's lives. I'm more inspired than ever to provide you with the best possible resources to help you build and run your business -- especially now that I've gotten to know so many of you in person!

Again, for those of you who made it to the event, thank you SO much for sharing such a special weekend with me!

Stay tuned for Part Two of this special 100th issue, in which I'll send you actual video footage from the event! It'll be packed with real-life stories about ordinary people who have become incredibly successful selling products and services over the Internet. This footage will be hitting your inbox in a couple of weeks, so keep an eye out for it -- you won't want to miss it!
