Terry: Hi there. We’re very privileged to have an absolutely incredible Internet marketer here with us today. His name is Tellman Knudsen. He’s become a fixture on the Internet. He is one of the top forming entrepreneurs out there today. Just to give you an example, Tellman’s figures for 2005, he made $800,000. This is basically when Tellman first began on the Internet. He made $800,000. He did that using affiliate marketing. 2006 he popped up the figures to $2.5 million, and now in 2007, he has set his business goal to $10 million. Obviously, the figures themselves are very impressive. What makes it even more impressive is that Tellman has a condition that theoretically should make it extremely difficult for him to really be running a business at all. He has a condition called attention deficit disorder, but he’s actually used that to accomplish basically twice as much as the average person is able to accomplish in a day. Tellman has 48 hours in his day instead of 24. So, I’d just like to say thank you very much for being with us today, Tellman. Tellman: Oh, you’re welcome. Thank you so much for having me here. Terry: Thank you. Maybe you can start out by briefly telling us what attention deficit disorder is and how it has affected your life. Tellman: Number one, attention deficit disorder is absolutely not a condition. It is the single biggest advancement that anyone could ever have in their life to accomplish more than anyone else around them. Attention deficit disorder has given me an edge; it’s given me the ability to think on my feet and the ability to go from thing to thing to thing much more quickly than most of my linear thinking counterparts. So, anyone that’s listening right now that has attention deficit, that thinks they may have attention deficit, that knows someone who has attention deficit, or if you ever hear someone whining about attention deficit, they are lying. They don’t know it, but they’re lying. They don’t know about the power that they have that’s within them. It’s a very subtle shift once you learn how to use this as a strength. The first thing that I want to get out there to people is that anyone can be successful online if they’re willing to put the work in to make it happen. There are a lot of people out there that have attention deficit that don’t get a lot of sleep. Insomnia often accompanies attention deficit. A lot of people with attention deficit have to take different stimulant medications in order to keep them stable and focused. I don’t take any medication and I never have. I let attention deficit run rampant. We kick some major butt with it. The main point here is that, whether you have attention deficit or not, whether you’re highly creative or highly linear, or whether you’re really good at being consistent and doing things on a regular basis or you’re more of an idea person… whatever you are, is really irrelevant to make a lot of money online or be successful in business. The key is finding out what you’re really good at, what you really suck at, and simply not do any of the things that you’re naturally terrible at and only doing the things that you’re naturally very good at. Find other people in any way, shape, or form to do all of the other things that drive you up the wall and aren’t things that you enjoy at all. Does that make any sense? Terry: Absolutely. So you basically build a team of people whose strength compliments your weakness. Tellman: Exactly. So far, we have 13 employees and eight apprentices, and all of our paid employees are highly intelligent, very linear people who are very consistent, and good at follow-through. I am not good at follow- through. I personally subscribe to the 75% rule. I can keep really excited about something until I am about 75% done. Once I can see the end in sight, all my enthusiasm just drops out from in front of me. So, what I did was looked for people intentionally who are the exact opposite of me. I looked for people who weren’t as good as getting things up and running fast, who weren’t as good as getting overly excited about things, and were better at implementing things, showing up to work on time, and getting work done whether they were in a good mood, a bad mood, or somewhere in between. I tend to have high emotional highs and low emotional lows. So, I get other people in place that are more balanced and more consistent and I build the fire and get everybody pumped up.
