Telephone Conversation with Alex Jeffreys.
Just got off the phone with Alex Jeffreys. Guess what? I taught him a thing or two as you will see in this video of the conversation. Seriously though, really enjoyed doing this but it was hard work. I think all the effort will be worth it in the long run though. Anyway I won’t waffle on anymore as the video says it all and it is the first ever that I star in !!! I can see the offers of Hollywood stardom coming in already, LOL.
Oh, and for those that haven’t worked it out …. it’s my contribution to the Alex Jeffreys Video competition to be judged by both him and Maria Andros. Let me know what you think ????

@51, Dan just go over to my blog about palm trees and have a drool at what I have to look at every morning. It’s a tough gig. But I’m up to it. (oh-oh)
Gazz-Man
@ 51 – Dan, I know what you mean – I’m so pale at the moment I look like I’m half-dead! That, or some kind of goth…
@52 – a truer word has never been said
Garry,
The king of kings, Jimmy Hendrix !! lol
Paull
Well Nix,
Looks like we hijacked Parkesy’s blog tonight (day for you). We blew up Twitter earlier on. Any more targets we can hit?
My plan for world domination is far-reaching, don’t worry…soon everyone will feel that influence!!
Nik
Nikki, im so fed up with this crappy UK weather. It makes me so depressed i tell ya!
well only a few more weeks and im off to Malta for a couple weeks. Hopefully i can pick up a little tan while im there.
You should join me Nikki, sounds like u need it to!
I feel it!
Gaz-Man – I know you’re feeling it, and as often as possible…
Dan, tell me about it, it’s crap! Pouring with rain here at the mo, dark, miserable etc. Reckon you could fit me in the suitcase?!
Nix
@58 Hey Briffs – Nix is all mine – woohahaha. Malta does sound good though.
Well, I think I have damaged the great credibility of Parkesy’s blog and his most humourous and witty new video enough now. It is 2.42am over here in Perth, Aust and I am near pooped.
Bye!
Later Gary!
Nikki, raining here to! crap i know. Its teribble.
I can try and fit you in the suitcase! Sure you nice and slim enuff ent ta ?? lol
Dan
@61 – Gaz-Man, you know, I know, everyone knows it…
Garry, apologies for monopolising your blog, and I’m still not alone in the office so STILL can’t watch your vid! How rude…
Nik
Hey Mr. Awesome,
You can not only write, now we find you are a would be ROCK STAR as well!! Who knew? And very amusing…
What more fun we are going to have now?!?
Keep Rockin it!
Lesley “UNPACKAGEABLE SPIRIT”
hey garry,
man you have gone out there and set the bar hi for all from the start,
i was laughing hard watching it,
the part that really made me laugh was when you spoke about me jumping in bed with michael cheney HAHAH,
problem was i didnt make it to bed – infact jason james left me sleeping on andrew foxs office floor,
i think i crashed about 7am after 4 hours of drunk video footage,
watch out for it – coming soon,
untill then
keep being you –
- @danBriffa … yer your correct Garry does look a little like phil colins
peace out peeps
alex
Alex,
Knew you’d enjoy it!!
Nikki
Bl**dy he**,
Go away for an hour or so and my site goes crazy.
>Alex – Glad you managed to see it. “You didn’t make it to bed” – yeah, that’s what they all say when they’re caught out, “Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink and all that” !!! … Whoops, just slipped by into character there. Glad you enjoyed it and had a really good laugh.
>Renee – Thanks. Sorry I didn’t manage a full front shot for you – doing the air guitar that is, LOL. If feels awesome getting all this great feedback. Thanks Renee. Looking forward to seeing your creative talents in the next couple of days.
>Lesley – Thanks for that a “ROCK STAR”, “Mr Awesome”, “Internet Guru”. Only thing is how do I top it???? Have to get my thinking cap on. Thanks for the Twitter message as well.
Next big thing since Monty Python.
Thanks for the video Garry. Or should I say no thanks. How is it possible to compete with great and famous actors like you?
/Ali
You know, im trying to think of a video to do?? and i cant think WHAT to do!
Hi Gary,
Its true you can have fun while making a shed load of money…. Your the proof.
Ps: If you want some more traffic i have created a group on propeller.com just for Alex Jeffreys students. Here is the link below:

Garry,
Absolutely suburb video. This is incredible. I was laughing my backside off. What a great idea and a great way to have fun and get your message out at the same time. This should go viral in no time.
Now I have to come up with my video.
It would be great to get inside your head for awhile
. Then again maybe not 
. Seriously great job on the video.
Thanks again for stopping over to take a look at my first attempt at video stardom. Thanks for the feedback and the kind words.
I let you know when mine is done.
Thanks again.
Thom
Garry,
By the way, I loved the bit about Gary Simpson. That was hilarious. I can’t get over the creativity. How did you come up with the idea?
Question: How much time do you spend on average a day working on your business? (online business that is)
Time is killing me. I plan, map out what needs to be done and there still does not seem to be enough hours in the day.
For Example: I was able to check out the web today at work although they do not allow Flash player so I could not watch the video until I got to the school tonight. I always feel 3 steps behind.
Sorry about the pity party… I know I will make it just am not moving as fast as I want and need.
Thanks again for you help. You really do not know how much of an inspirit ion you are. I also have to lump Gary Simpson in that category if he happens to read this. Sounds corny, but you two are great to have as mates.
Thom
I read that Thom! Hairy-ar*e huh. Well, this WON’T be…

Garry,
As has been repeated many time you video is great! Again you have created a goal for the rest of us.
Ken
Hey Garry, very interesting video.
Unfortunately, that’s not why I’m here though. I have a problem: I have an offer I want to keep private and restricted to Alex Jeffreys students ONLY. But I don’t know how to reach them all without going public. That’s why I can’t put it on my blog.
I posted the offer–and my problem–at the Fortunate500 forum and a couple people suggested that I ask you.
So here I am
Can I (or you) post the offer somewhere here so everyone can see it? Or do you know of another way?
Remember, I want only Alex students to see it because it has a link in it.
Thanks.
Paul Livingston
Paul/Garry
Re 76 above. Is the Member’s Area secure here Garry or can you make a secure area?
Alternatively Paul, disable the link, post the guts of it on your blog or wherever, the F500, here if Garry lets you, and let people email you for the link if they are interested.
You haven’t said enough to let us know what it is.
Gary
Hey Garry…just got of the floor from laughing so much, I’m not sure if I should follow this guy Alex, he just doesn’t seem to get that 2+2=5!
Really funny stuff,,,great idea and well acted, I agree you should go into acting,..I hear there is a job going at No.5 Downing Street, London…some guy called Gordon is having trouble getting his act together there. Maybe you could help him get it right…just kidding!
I am envious…I also need one of those bells, need to make video between Gaza and you on the training program as well…
Cheers…Paul Mracek
Hey Garry,
I thought it was about time I popped over to come and share my randomness here again…thanks for the DM on Twitter, glad I could help!
Nik
Hi Nik,
I seem to be slowly getting on top of Twitter. Getting to grips with it at last.
Think your losing your charms though Nix as Foxy hasn’t done what you demanded, LOL. I’ll have to score you only 7 out of 10
Garry,
Just DM’d you on Twitter – not something I wanted to share on here.
Nik
Nik,
Msg received and understood
Sent DM back.
Garry,
Just emailed you to elaborate – not enough character spaces on Twitter to explain properly!
Nik
Nik,
Replied in kind.
Right off out for a bit now.
Garry
Garry,
That was brilliant, I was crying watching it….
I am doing mine tonight…
Cheers
>Ali – Monty Python – great and famous actor, moi !! – I’m just a normal guy (well normal-ish !!!) but thanks very much for that. Glad you liked it. Hey, though you’ve just got to go for it and just see what happens. That’s what I think anyway.
>Dan – I’m sure a video idea will pop into your head when you are least expecting it.
>Mark – Yeah, I had great fun doing it. I’ll check that link out a bit later.
>Thom – glad you laughed your backside off, LOL. In fact, I showed it to my kids last night. Although they didn’t obviously get it all it was a real treat watching them laugh there little heads off looking at Daddy making a fool of himslef. I think though, it has had a positive effect on them as they all want to do videos for YouTube now which will obviously be a boost to their confidence.
And yes, I’m hoping it goes viral
I replied to some of your other inquiries over on your blog.
>Ken – Thanks Ken. Yep, I’ve got a goal for you all to aim for.
To score a goal folks, you must have a shot.
>Paul – re. the exclusive offer for AJ students. I think Gary’s suggestion sounds a good one.
Garry
What can I say that hasn’t been said? Well except once mentioned by Nigel…
That squeaky chair!!
Now is it my imagination or has Alex’s chair stopped squeaking?
Did you do that deliberately or is it something to do with the fact that men seem to be unable to sit on a chair without fidgeting?!?
Watch out or I shall be round with the WD40 – Oh that’s just given me a great idea for my video. Better go and write some ideas down whilst I’m on the school run.
Bells – well if my hubby tried something like that with me it might need more than WD40 to sort it out…
Needless to say I loved the video – thankfully I was able to watch it at home with proper speakers on the computer to give the full effect. Well done!
Hilary
Hi Garry,
What can I say … a star is born! Man, you just don’t stop, do you?! Reminded me of Monty Python. I miss Monty Python!
Anyway, well done.
Debbie
Nice work getting started and getting your blog setup. I’m trying to get a complete list of all the students for my blogroll and to get to know everyone. Please email with your full name, link, and twitter link if you have one. Best wishes, Ross The Boss
>Paul M – Yeah, move over Alex there is a new kid in town, LOL. I sooo glad Alex has a great sense of humour or it could of back-fired a bit. But you can tell from the way he commits to his students on the webinar calls that he was a good laugh and didn’t take himself too seriously.
>Gordon – Hope you didn’t cry laughing too much !Good luck with yours tonight and thanks for that email. And I owe you more than a pint when we meet up. I still laugh thinking about the video you did for that last promotion so I’m really looking forward to what you come up with tonight.
Garry,
Thanks for the visit and the feedback.
I to had an idea for Paul #76. Maybe he should get a hold of Alex and let him know what he wants to do. We are the only ones who can get to his site. Maybe he could out it in the offer area.
Just and idea.
Thanks again
Thom
Garry, when do you start your coaching program for creating explosive videos?
I thought UK was down and out with only rain, darkness and unemployment.
G is closing in to the best UK have come up with this far: Clash and Monty
/Ali
HI Garry.

Keep it up John.
Aye up lad, thy’s caused a bit of a stir with that one, thy know’s!
Garry,
Congrats on #44 onwards and upwards matey
Cheers
Tommy
Hi Garry,
Wow! Look at how this thread has exploded! Great comments. I think we are getting some new folks coming in here and that is so good.
Just an update on what is going on over at you-know-where. My behind-the-scenes genius (Q – as in James Bond) has well and truly delivered the goods. My site is flashing intermittently beween the old and new look but it should go 100% live very shortly. It’s a bit like a lucky dip at the moment. But my dash panel (ie my side) is all new.
I emailed “Q” – my boffin – and said “WOW! This is awesome!” Do you know what Q said? “You ain’t seen nothing yet!” WHOA! I am already blown away.
Gazz-Man from the NEW Gazz-Land
PS: If you don’t see the changes just keep flicking back every now and then coz this is incredible what Q has done!
Hey Garry,
VERY NICE video mate!! Really enjoyed the adlib stuff. I grew up in the UK (Yorkshire). Looks like you’re up there somewhere too!! Where about are you? Manchester?
See ya on the next module and good luck!
oh forgot to mention, thanks for your comments on my video on Youtube also.
Here’s my video for all the other sudents who may want to watch it on YouTube:

Cheers mate!
That is too funny, Garry!
You’re going to be a hard act to follow. We all better get our creative caps on and get to work.
Well done,
Theresa
Garry,
You REALLY need to come over and see what I have now ! Holy SH*T!
My Alexa ranking has jumped up by more than 300,000. I am getting 100+ visitors more per day and the gizmos on my blog now simply have to be seen to be believed. I am lost for words! Can you believe that? SPEECHLESS!
