In 2007, I was living in a bubble. 

It had been one year since I built my 6-figure online business and quit my job as a personal trainer. 

And during that year, I followed the exact same "introverted routine" almost every day of the week. 

Wake up at 7:30. Walk 'Ol Bally the Dog. Check my email. Write an email for my readers. Go to the gym. Create content and products. Answer emails. Walk Bally again. Have dinner and drinks with my girlfriend. 

It was an easy and predictable life filled with bad habits...and I was starting to plateau. 

The solution to my challenges terrified me. 

Go to a live event, expand my network, and learn from others. 

Spending time with strangers? Asking for help and setting aside my ego? Spending a Saturday night somewhere other than my couch? 

Yikes! 

I wanted so badly to take the easy out and keep coasting...But I put on my big boy pants (putting on pants of any kind at that point in my life was a massive accomplishment--I basically lived in gym shorts and a T-shirt) and flew to Washington D.C. for "Underground Online" with my soon-to-be mentor, Yanik Silver. 

There's no hyperbole when I say that event transformed my life. 

The people I met there--the famed copywriter Jon Benson, the supplement company mogul Josh Bezoni, the guru Yanik Silver, and the world’s best event planner Heather Krueger--remain dear friends to this day. 

The idea, from Yanik, of building my business around a “One Million Person Transformation Mission” galvanized my readers to take action, invest more in my courses, enter my contest, change their lives, and watch my YouTube videos over 13 million times (and counting).

"I did it. I did it! And I did it sober, too!" I thought to myself.

Mr. Ballantyne the previously broke, struggling, binge drinking farm boy with crippling social anxiety, went to D.C. and won! 

That event taught me one of the most important lessons of my entire career. 

Live events change lives.
