Part 1: Transcript of Tom Beal's In Search Of Heroes Interview" by Ralph Zuranski
RALPH ZURANSKI: Hi, this is Ralph Zuranski. I’m on the phone with Tom Beal. He is one of the leaders of internet marketing and just recently started working with Mike Filsaime in the Butterfly Marketing Program.
I’ve seen Tom at quite a few internet marketing seminars. Being a leader in the industry himself, it’s just really a pleasure to talk with him. How are you doing today Tom?
TOM BEAL: Doing fantastic Ralph. I feel honored to be speaking with you today and looking forward to this conversation.
RALPH ZURANSKI: I know you are a real hero. You were actually a war hero on the front lines. You were a marine weren’t you? Can you tell us a little bit about your life?
TOM BEAL: Sure, sure. Simper fi, that’s the “always faithful” marine slogan. But a little bit about myself Ralph I guess it starts back to being born to teenagers. I was born to a 17 year old mother and a 19 year old father and grew up around some adversities.
There were four divorces and six marriages between my two parents. I went to 9 different schools by 8th grade in two separate states. There’s a whole list of other fun things that occurred, the alcoholism, abuse, neglect and on welfare as a child.
Yet through that I was able to become a national bicycle champion winning nationals in 1989. Now it’s called X Games. So I was doing tricks on bikes.
From there I went to college to wrestle and ended up hanging out with the wrong crowd, dropped out of college and then found myself at Paris Island Marine Corp Boot Camp. From there I figured out that system and ended up graduating the number one honor graduate from boot camp.
Then going on to attain some good achievements in the marine corp. in the four years that I spent there. I was able to earn three merit choice promotions in the four years and also had a stint as an all marine wrestler down in Quantico, Va. After the four years was up I felt I had a little more to accomplish in my life so I left the marine corp.
I ventured into sales and in sales similar to Marine Corp. Boot Camp I kind of figured out about the system and how to win and I ended up earning the number one spot in 5 sales organizations. Then from there went on to publish a book called “The North Carolina Home Book” that was down in Charlotte, North Carolina.
It was a resource for anyone looking to remodel their $1,000,000 plus home in the Charlotte, Greensboro or the Raleigh-Durham area. That was a fun project. I had a fun time doing that.
Then I heard about internet marketing in 2001. The events of September 11,2001 to be precise is what triggered in me that it was time to start fulfilling the answers to the questions people had always asked me. Namely “How do you do it?”
Whether it was the Marine Corp. or whether it was the sales organizations where I rose to the top or publishing the book. It seems that I was able to reach the top in a short time in whatever I chose to get into.
I remember sitting on 77 South when I was hearing on the radio what was occurring that morning of September 11.
It hit me that now is the time to take the years of studying Tony Robbins & Brian Tracy and the whole gambit of personal & professional development experts & my own success & my own stories and start sharing it with people to let them know that it doesn’t matter where they came from or where they are right now.
There are steps they can take to fulfill their dreams and desires. It was there that I started asking myself questions. If you are listening to this call right now I think as Mark Victor Hansen put in his book, “The Aladdin Factor”, is the proper questions you ask yourself, your mind and the universe as a whole will give you the answer.
The more you fine tune your questions the more you’ll fine tune your life. So the question I asked myself was in all those unrelated fields, bike riding, marine corp., wrestling and all the sales fields, “How did I do it? What steps did I apply in each of those unrelated fields that has allowed me to go in with little or knowledge and become number one in a very short time?”
My mind responded with an answer that I didn’t like. It responded with too many different scenarios. What I did in the Marine Corp. was different than when I was riding bikes and it was different from what I did in each of those unrelated sales deals.
So I asked a better question. Once again I jot that note down “Ask yourself better questions”. If I had to narrow it down to five things that I applied in all those unrelated areas, “What would they be?”
Immediately my mind began to respond and from all those years of studying Napoleon Hill, The Seventeen Principles of Success that he shares, Tony Robins, Jim Roans, Brian Tracy and all the things I put into my mind & all the experiences I’ve had.
I was able to create what I call “The Success Magnet System”. It is simply five steps with none more important than the other, which have allowed me to overcome the adversity and reach greatness in those unrelated areas in my life.
That’s my passion, to share with people these five steps, The Success Magnet System to assist them in understanding that they can take their life & accomplish their dreams just by applying these five steps.
