I'm so glad to know you personally, Darren. I'm so happy that I can laugh at these fools who let skepticism rule their lives.

Whether this couple are the real deal or not it seems that there are scads of people who make a LOT more with their coaching services than anything else that they sell. Those who can do, those who can't teach? haha. Well, hopefully not. :) Intriguing!

Now it all depends on how you TELL that story to evoke emotion (or in this case patronage of your goods/services). The couple mentioned above are either very good entrepreneurs or compelling storytellers. Who knows for sure; it seems like they could be both.

As far as the story telling goes I do a lot of professional speaking and telling a story is one of the most critical aspects of speaking success. Some speakers have great factual content but the ones that capture the audience's attention give them a story - be it funny, sad or emotional - to hang onto. That’s a very interesting tale.

I was equally impressed with the presenters story. Their income expanded my thinking of what is possible online. I actually had a friend I met at the conference who I later found out purchased the $20,000 plus coaching. Like many he was compelled by their great story and phenomenal results. People remember and relate to stories, especially inspiring ones from people who started out like many of us do. I think Darren's own personal story is equally as memorable, perhaps not as dramatic in terms of income, but definitely dramatic in the way he went from a small time blogger to a circle of influence in the tens if not hundreds of thousands is pretty amazing.
