My life story in as few words as possible
At the end of 2001 and beginning of 2002, I lost my house, my marriage, My aunt Sherrie (Cancer) and My grandpa (stroke, a week after Sherrie died). I was so broke it wasn’t even funny. I was driving a mini van that I traded 2 sets of golf clubs for that leaked so much oil that I had to add a quart a day.
It was in that moment of total misery that I had my biggest defining moment. I remember saying to myself, “ok god, i give up. It’s up to you”. I stopped caring about money and started focusing on helping others.
I met Deena (Now my wife) and things started to change. I went to a Bob Proctor class in August 2002 and my whole mindset shifted. It was the education I needed that I never got in college on how to really be successful in life. (in all areas, not just money)
Deena and I took $800 and turned it into over 3.3 million in annual revenue within 3 years. We ended up being in Entrepruener magazine twice, fox news and accepted the life time achievement award at the Webby’s (The internet equivelent of the Oscars) on behalf of eBay’s 233 million users. The other recipients were the founders of youtube (Steve Chen and Chad Hurley, two awesome guys by the way) and David Bowie.

In November 2007, Deena and I started working on our Vemma business. This was my first residual income stream and gave us the flexibility to get rid of our sporting goods business.
In January of 2008, I came up with idea of sixminutestosuccess.com and asked Bob Proctor if he wanted to do it. He said yes. We created it and the experience of doing it was and is priceless. We are learning a lot every day.
2009 was a great year. Sixminutes is going great. Vemma/Verve is fun and awesome, all is well. We are working on a couple of new ideas that I am excited about. We are getting a second place in Maui to hang out in. (Friends are welcome there anytime :o)
Our focus is on helping other people create freedom in their lives and having the ability to quit their job if they choose to. I think the current economy is a great opportunity for people to realize that multiple sources of income are not just something to want to have but that they are very necessary.
Enough about me. If there is anything I can do to help you, let me know.

Hello Lanny,
I was interested in tonight’s webinar (7/22) on marketing with social networking. I received the announcement too late. Is there a replay.
I emailed you a link, let me know what you think. I didn’t care for some of the language and crude stuff but the content was very good.
Mahalo :o)
I would greatly appreciate if you could take my name out of this blog. I understand your frustration with the situation, but my friends and associates should not be finding this if they google me. I sincerely Thank You.
Daryl,
I find it humorous and ironic that you are worried about what is being said about you in google searches.
How do you think the stuff (Lies) you guys put out looks?
:o)
Lanny
Lanny-
I have stayed very quiet about all of this, and plan to stay very quiet, and you know this. All I am asking is that you remove my name, plain and simple.
Hey Lanny,
Great meeting you at Ryan Lee’s event. I love your story. Very inspirational.
My mission is to dive into the Internet Marketing business so I can help as many women as possible during their menopausal years. And most important to give back to others from the money I make.
It seems as if the people that say they know this business are few and far between.
Wanted to get the link for the re-writing of blog posts. What an awesome idea.
Thanks so much for being open and down to earth with the group. It is highly appreciated.
Hey Lanny,
I am a junior at Loyola University Chicago and I was wondering if you would email me directly. I would like to ask you a question and for a little help…I just don’t you have email address 🙂
Thanks so much!

Lanny,
I had a far better perception of you in the video that you did with Bob Proctor this year. I truly hope that Bob hasn’t read your LannyMorton.com webpage. Your language is unnecessarily crude and totally classless for a businessman. It’s one thing to tell your story truthfully, but it should have been done with some grace and professionalism, not trash mouth language.
If I were to come to a business seminar that you were one of the speakers and heard you tell your story in this kind of language, I’m sure that I would not be the only one to walk out. You have a lot to learn for someone that is supposedly making the kind of income that you profess. Foul language isn’t becoming to anyone.
