I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Russell Brunson at various seminars. Russell is not only an Internet marketer, he’s also a bright guy.

And recently, he’s proven my assessment to be true.

When he told me I was nominated as part of his Marketer of The Year 2006 Awards, in the copywriting category, at first I was somewhat reticent. But when I saw the list of those I’m up against, needless to say, I was stunned.

As England was fighting it out in the World Cup, the “Fightin’ Fortins” were on stage in London, England, speaking at the World Internet Summit. Sylvie and I both spoke on stage in front of 1,100 cheering and eager attendees.

What a fabulous experience!

Not only did we make a ton of new friends from the many, wonderful attendees, mostly all Brits and Europeans, we also had an opportunity to meet long-time friends and copywriters extraordinaire Alan Forrest Smith, Brett McFall, Tim Warnock, David Cavanagh, and a few others.

My friend Armand Morin’s Big Seminar V was a blast!

As usual.

It was the biggest Big Seminar ever. The picture on the left is the humongous stage and lightshow. A massive 36′ stage and a 16′ catwalk. Pretty freakin’ amazing, if you ask me. And with close to 400 people in attendance, it was indeed the biggest one ever. (Next time promises to be even bigger, according to Armand.)
