Vegas - Done …. Job - QUIT !!!!
By
Left to right: Dan Briffa - Mike Filsaime - Marshall Sylvers - Dean Holland - Alex Jeffreys
There you see it …. The picture of one HELL of an evening, one hell of a journey … ONE LIFE CHANGING VACATION !!!
Wow … Where to begin ?!
So Im guessing you just want me to cut to the chase and declare it right now ? ?
Wow.. Wow .. Wow … Damn it !! I cant keep it in any longer ….
I … Dean Holland just returned from Las Vegas where I partied hard with a stack of great marketers. Many of which were fellow students of Alex Jeffreys coaching program. As you can tell from the above picture I was also hanging with the likes of Mike Filsaime, Alex Jeffreys and the amazing Marshall Sylvers…
Not to mention Tom Beal, Omar Martin, Joe Jablonski and also a brief visit to the PPC Classroom event with Anik Singal and Simon Leung ! Im telling you peeps that this was one SERIOUS relationship, friendship and networking adventure !!
How good was it ??
Well my friends ( Here it comes !! ) Vegas was THAT good, I flew home to return to my job the following day…
Arrived there at 7.20 am …. Sat at my work desk …. Took a piece of paper from the shelf .. And
WROTE MY LETTER OF NOTICE OF RESIGNATION TO QUIT !!!!!!!!
POW .. POW !! Can you believe it my friend ??!!
Little ol me, after just 8 months of having a mentor I am just 3 weeks away from being a full time Internet Marketer … I gotta tell you man, it feels awesome ! May I thankyou for your support in my journey and I hope you have found it useful to follow along… But this is just the beginning for you and I !
AAAHHHH … Man sorry I just keep getting SO excited !
As you may have read or heard next month on July 7th 2009 I have my first Major launch - Starting With Marketing - The newbie internet marketing academy !
It is this that has pushed me to quit my job…. I want to give myself 110% to all of my students that get in the academy and with a job I simply do not feel I can do that. But now… Im ready to make a difference !
Anyway Im not here to talk about that but I just wanted to make my commitment to that launch clear… Ive given up a salary of over $40,000 a year to ensure the success of my students 
I hope you are as excited about the future as I now am… You should be, your coming with me !!
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas …. right ??
HELL NO …. Not on this blog !
Heres the deal …. I could type and type .. and type some more about our Stateside adventures but I’d much rather let you watch it all …. So … On its way to me as we speak are over 2 hours of video clips recorded over the week in Vegas. I should have it in my hands hopefully tomorrow and as soon as I do Im setting to work on it
Give me a few days and your gunna be rolling around in fits of laughter… That I can promise you !! … So prepare for it and keep checking back here !
Its worth waiting for .. Trust me !!
Well there you have it, literally life changing news from me. Thursday 4th July 2009 I told my boss I wanted out .. Just 1 day from returning from Las Vegas with some of the internet Biggest players… What was said in those bars ?? How could the talk have been that powerful it made me quit THE DAY I started back ??
Well only my students will be privilige to that most secret info but for the outlook on it all get yourself ready for my video VERY soon !!
Thank you once again !!
Oh just one last thing…. If you have a list of subscribers or a following online and would be interested in being a special JV partner for my launch please post your interest in a comment here or contact me on my contact page…. I got some BIG cash to give away on this !!
Speak soon
Dean
P.S - Only kidding…. I’ll spill the beans with the video about what was said that was SO POWERFUL to make me just quit my job

Hey Dean,
Finally man, you did it! Alex was pretty persistant in getting you to quit, I was there.
I hope next year would be me to give the notice. Wish you the best with your soon to be released coaching program!
Warmly,
-Jeff
June 9th, 2009 at 8:51 pm
Well done, Dean.
I’ve been working full time on the net for about a year and, after a wobbly start, I’ve never looked back.
Certainly the best decision you’ll ever make. Looking at your set up, you really are flying high.
Good luck.
Regards,
Richard

Hi Dean,
Congratulations, you’ve been giving out some really solid information the short time I’ve been a subscriber, your members will be fortunate to join you. Just a thought though, you may want to note the date you gave notice as “June 4, 2009″, Vegas still hasn’t worn off, has it ? I look forward to remaining on your list and seeing you zoom up!

Whoa Deano
Congrats on taking that all important step and it is a B-I-G step but dude I know you’ll do just fine.
Having followed you from Day 1 with Alex’s coaching course, I, along with everyone else, have seen you come along in leaps and bounds up to this stage.
I’ve built up a good list so I’ll be more than happy to JV with ya!
All the best mate

Hi Dean
That’s great news that you felt ready to quit your job and dedicate yourself to your new enterprise. I saw a bit of the video footage of you in the limo with Alex where he told you to quit your job now, not later. I really hope that it all works out for you.
You’ve got to the edge and jumped off - I’m looking forward to seeing you fly now!
It’s the end of term for me so my job (and pay!)finishes for the summer. I just need to get my own site up and running soon to start making my own money!
Wish I could have been in Vegas with you all - sounds like you had an incredible time. Looking forward to those videos!
Wishing you all the best for your launch.

Dean,
This is great news. I’m very happy for you. I know you will go far.
June 10th, 2009 at 1:56 am
Dean - Duuuuuuuuuuude, brooooooooooo…
Er, I guess some of those videos will include the following:
1 - the “red-spotted head” shark @ the Mandalay Casino Oceanarium where you and me and Briffs were being so-fish-ticated.
2 - the “sparkle seated trike” that Briffs is gonna buy when he becomes a goo-roo!
3 - the millionaire (in disguise) homeless dude on the bridge between the Excalibur Casino & New York-New York Casino
and various other “adventures.”
Gazzman
PS: Hmm, has Briffs sprayed inside his wallet with insect spray to kill off all those moths that flew out?
June 10th, 2009 at 5:41 am
Yahoo Dean!!!
I am so happy you finally had your “take this job and shove it day”!!! If you aren’t into Garth Brooks that probably means nothing to you. Believe me my husband has those words memorized and has even added to it! Dean, I am so very Happy you finally could quit your job. It must have been a great inspiration in Vegas, or you drank waayy too much. Just kidding, seriously I am thrilled for you and I know you are thrilled too! I have never got so much excitement from your emails, well not this much…. I can’t wait to see the video from your time in Vegas learning and playing. I wish I could have been there too! I really wanted to meet Alex, I miss our classes and his excitement too. I want to hear more about your upcoming Academy for Newbies, etc.
By the way on a personal note, if you could take a moment to reply to me… I thought I downloaded your Blog setup Guide, but all I can find is the Blog Traffic and your system will not let me download the Blog Setup Guide. I really still need help with the Blog and would appreciate if I could get it because I can’t find it. You have my info already in your friends group and my emails to you, I hope it won’t be a problem. So let me end by saying I am really proud of you with all you have had to go through in your personal life and the fact you caught on so fast, I am envious. I would like to make my first dollar! You keep it up.
Your friend, Glenda

Way to go Dean :o)
You said it in Vegas, and you’ve followed through - happy days.
You thought you may even be able to film the actual conversation with your boss… Did you get the footage??
Best regards,
Graeme

Hi Dean
You are again the first one of the fortunate 500 to break free.
I wish you every success in the future with all your plans succeeding.
My new e-book “How to Create a Video using Microsoft PowerPoint ”
is ready to go apart from one slight problem, I have uploaded it to the
public html folder on my website but whenever I do a test I get the a
404 message page not found, any idea what the problem could be?
If you want to see what I mean go to my blog and fill in the optin box
for the e-book at the top of the right column.

Dean,
Well done..
Unfortunately I couldn’t go to Vegas to meet up with all the students of Alex but hope we will meet up somewhere in UK soon.
Congratulations for what you have achieved and yes I am interested in JV for your new product so let me know how it goes…
Speak to you soon,
Gordan
June 10th, 2009 at 9:55 am
Hey Dean.
Might I also add my congratulations …
Well done Bro, the futures yours.
I missed out on being coached by Alex but I’m definately
not going to miss out on being coached by you.
All the Best.

Congrats Dean,
I had a feeling once you went to Vegas you would be quitting your job. Good for you. I’m really happy for you.
And YES, I would like to be a special JV partner for your launch.
Later,

Cheers

June 10th, 2009 at 3:45 pm
Wow Dean, you gone and done it man!
I wonder how many Alex students are close to the same thing. I am a few months a way from ditching the boss but momentum builds all the time. I reckon if I’d made it to vegas I would have made more contacts and been a bit nearer.
This post is not about me though. Good luck Dean, and I hope we can meet up and work together in the future.
Looking forward to the launch.

Hey Dean,
so how does it feel? - im sure your crapping your pants really huh
hahaha … dude im so proud of you, and i totally believe in you 100%
thats why i pushed you to quit your job how ever worried you may be,
Im a few steps ahead of you and looking back i can see you are gonna do bigger and better than you could ever imagine …
if anyone wants to go back to the first blog post on dean holland dot com you’ll see just a few months back dean was a TOTAL newbie without
a clue,
I know - i made him put this blog up, and if you read through the posts you’ll see he struggled at times, but the guy just pushed forward and ASKED FOR HELP when needed,
he followed a simple formula, and BINGO here he is ready to quit a job
and NEVER EVER have a boss again,
how frickin cool …
dean - your gonna knock um dead and YES im gonna JV with you for sure and i’ll make sure my other JV partners know all about you,
#1 learn
#2 help
#3 recommend
#4 produce
#5 have balls
= cash on demand !!!
thats Alex Jeffreys signing out, i gotta dash
and finish up my new book,
peace
June 10th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
Dam Dean
Nice comment from your mentor there bet that gives you a nice boost he seems like a very nice bloke.
So you may become the next Alex Jeffreys,and I am looking forward to your course because as you know I have been trying to follow you blind but I am getting nowhere at the moment.
Maybe when I have you as my mentor it will help me fill in the gaps and make me succeed.
Hope to talk soon buddy
cheers

Hey Dean - great news! Keep it up.

June 14th, 2009 at 2:29 am
Good going Dean you really took this thing by
the horns and ran with it any time I hear somebody
fired their boss I just get chills and a little jealous
I’m gonna get there, you can bet your sweet ass on that.
cant wait for your program to start. Keep knocking them dead.
Alexis
June 15th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
very happy for you. me and my co-worker were just talking about how sick we are of our jobs, lol. hopefully we’ll be able to join you soon.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
Well done Dean, you deserve total success for your courage alone. I completed my ebook, http://www.changemyfuture.com, all due to Alex Jeffries mentoring. without him it would probably still be just an idea in my head. So it appears lots of people have made massive progress under the Alex coaching programme. But you are surely leading the pack. So once again, Congratulations and enjoy the success you will undoubtedly experience.
June 19th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
Hey Dean,
Congrats mate!
I did it the other way around last October, spent 5 months bust and now things are looking up thanks to you and fellow marketeers!
Enjoy Las Vegas!
Sending you lots of sunshine and rainbows from the Caribbean!
Vic
June 24th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
Congratulations, Dean!
Great to hear you’ve taken the big step you’ve been dreaming of for so long. Well done!
If you feel a little nervous (less graphic than Alex’s metaphor!) remember what Goethe wrote: “At the moment of commitment, the universe conspires to assist you.”
You’re winning all the way!
All the best,
James
July 4th, 2009 at 10:06 am
