015. Google Adwords Success Secrets Revealed! With Mike Rhodes

Mike Rhodes and I discuss Google Adwords Success Secrets!

Mike Rhodes is the founder of www.websavvy.com.au He is an accomplished Google Adwords expert who I met at the Super Fast Live Conference in March 2015.

Mike’s story began in 1999 with having read the book called The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber. He became an E-Myth Consultant and learned that all small businesses have one common problem and that is the need for more customers.

So in 2004, he saw a presentation by Perry Marshall about Google Adwords which he found to be transformational. Much like I found Mike’s presentation on Google Adwords at the Superfast Business Live Conference and since attending that talk with Perry Marshall. Mike has mastered Google Adwords and has gone from being a member of Perry’s audience in the back of the room to working on a book with Perry Marshall.

He has been asked by Google to train other agencies and invited to one of the internal planning days. He’s one of the world’s leading authorities when it comes to Google Adwords.

He suffered through a CPA in 1997 and completed it despite not liking it at all because he believed it was a valuable skill to have. He sacrificed his personality in the process. In 2004 he finished his MBA (Masters In Business Administration) from the Australian Graduate School of Management and loved it! He scored a distinction (average) and got his personality back too!
