WHAT

WEEK…

I’m still fired up!

On Friday I was asked this question: 

“This is beyond valuable, why don’t more people talk about this single bonus more because it’s worth so much?”

I thought to myself…HECK YEAH it is! 

What is this I speak of? 

On Friday, with nearly 1000 students gathered on a live teaching webinar, cohosted by yours truly, this question was asked. 

Every couple of weeks, we pick a new niche with new offers and build out everything, including a content plan. 

We take all the skills taught in the Blueprints and put them into action. 

We break it all down and demonstrate how the skills we teach are used in all areas of digital marketing regardless of niche or offer. 

We poured our hearts, marketing wisdom, and experience into this incredible group, and the energy was electrifying! 

If you’re a Blueprints student and haven’t attended Decade In A Day (or haven’t in a while) I highly suggest you revisit it! 

But that's just the beginning. 

Our interviews on Wake Up Legendary are nothing short of mind-blowing. 

Day after day, there is so much value given, it’s like a masterclass in entrepreneurship and marketing. 

Thursday's guests took the excitement to a whole new level!

If you crave inspiration from genuine, hardworking, and heart-centered individuals, then you cannot afford to miss Thursday's interview with Rodney & Amy.

It's a massive dose of motivation that will leave you fired up to conquer your dreams.

If you don’t know these two…it’s time that you do! 

RUN to that interview. 

And here's the cherry on top – Legendary Marketer has once again been recognized as one of the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Businesses in America. 

We're absolutely beaming with pride for this remarkable achievement!

Gone are the days when a formal university education was the only path to success. 

Today, we're living in an era where credibility and authority are built on real skills, not just degrees.

E-Learning isn't just a trend; it's a necessity. 

At Legendary Marketer, our students are gaining practical, valuable, and transferable marketing skills that will serve them for years, even decades to come.

We're not just another “guru” or mentor who disappears overnight or hops around from offer to offer. 

We proudly declare that we are a Leadership Factory, dedicated to your growth and success. 

So many marketers, course creators, and coaches got their first introduction to the online space right here.

Their first realization that something MORE is possible for them as they go through the challenge. 

Proud of their beginnings, their journey, and their new future. 

And you, regardless of what stage you're in, in your journey…

We are here to guide, teach, and inspire you as well.

Legendary Marketer named to the Inc. 5000 list

We are excited to announce Legendary Marketer has been named to the Inc. 5000 list for 2022.

The Inc. 5000 list, is the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list represents a one-of-a-kind look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000. 

The companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 have not only been successful but have also demonstrated resilience amid worldwide financial woes and the ongoing impact of Covid-19. 

With Legendary Marketer’s ranking at 63rd in the education category, we are proving that alternative, quality, online education is how the world wants to consume knowledge that garners usable, transferable skills. 

“The accomplishment of building one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., in light of recent economic roadblocks, cannot be overstated,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that have established themselves through innovation, hard work, and rising to the challenges of today.” 

With the continued accolades that Legendary Marketer receives in creating quality, alternative education of transferable skills in the online space, a deeper story of our founder and CEO, David Sharpe continues to prove determination, grit, and resilience are crucial to entrepreneurial success. 

David Sharpe was a 9th-grade dropout who’s led a few different companies to multi-million dollars in revenue, and now with his latest venture, Legendary Marketer, he’s added an Inc. 5000 award to his repertoire.

When Dave was 24 years old, he found himself homeless, strung out, withdrawing from heroin and other opiate painkillers, and desperately needed help.

One day, he made his way to his Dad’s house, and as he stood at the door, weak, frail, almost unable to raise his arm to knock on the door, his dad answered.

Dave humbly asked, “Help me save my life.”

His Dad opened the door, let Dave sleep on his couch, brought him along on construction jobs, and gave him a safe place to try and piece his life back together. 

The hours working construction were long. 

After sweating endlessly in the hot Florida sun on job sites, Dave was again feeling stuck like there was no end in sight. He was driven to continue to grow more, push harder, and be something bigger than a construction worker.

He found himself surfing the web on his old clunky, painfully slow computer, and made the first (and most important) search that many people today find themselves making…

How do I make money online?

Dave may be a 9th-grade dropout, but he was smart enough to know that he wanted to own his own business. 

Like all aspiring business owners, he wanted to build a business with an endless supply of customers.

BUT, he wanted to achieve this dream by working from home. 

This was NOT a concept accepted 14 years ago. 

Working from home was almost unheard of, let alone building an entire business that is remote-based.

Dave went for it anyways. 

He had nothing to lose.

He kept searching for ways to make this dream a reality. 

One day, he had a million-dollar discovery while standing in a hardware store. 

“I looked over and I saw a man confused and I asked him if I could help out. He said his toilet was leaking and because of my construction experience, I was able to point him toward the little $5 wax ring that he needed to put under his toilet to create a waterproof seal. That confused man was instantly happy, so happy. In fact, he tipped me $100 Just to say thanks and that was the first money I'd earned from what I know versus what I did.” 

And that’s when Dave discovered the pathway to making his dream a reality.

Since then, he’s been packaging knowledge and selling it online.

He’s then taken all he learned, tested, and those proven strategies and results and is now teaching others to do the same.

Dave felt a calling to help as many people stop living a life of survival, but one that is meaningful, memorable, and filled with achievement and pride. 

And that’s when Legendary Marketer was born. 

Over the next five years, the company saw steady, sometimes surprising growth year after year. 

Then In 2021 alone, Legendary Marketer tripled its revenue and was named one of Inc. Magazine’s 5000 fastest-growing privately held companies in America (the 63rd fastest-growing education company).

David Sharpe has built a company that is 100% remote, with employees and contractors from all around the globe. It’s a company that is built on integrity and provides real solutions and strategies for the company's students.

Creating a 100% remote workplace also allows him to fill positions with the best talent, and not solely based on geographic location. From his highly skilled and sought-after team of advisors, top-notch customer support, and executive team, David Sharpe has created a work culture that is second to none. 

And the deliverable is nothing short of astounding. Clients of Legendary Marketer receive the highest level of education and support in the industry.

And speaking of those students:

Since March 2020, Legendary Marketer has interviewed a successful student from the program, on its LIVE podcast – Wake Up Legendary – nearly every single weekday, with over 500 success stories and a waiting list of countless new legends waiting to tell their story. Hundreds of normal, everyday folks who've turned their mess into a message, their struggles into their strengths. 

They're the real legends of Legendary Marketer. 

Now, in 2022, Legendary Marketer has broken even more company sales records and continues to deliver online marketing education simply and with integrity. 

Most of the traditional education systems train people how to become employees on the old, clunky, outdated hamster wheel. But at Legendary Marketer, students are learning real, valuable, transferable skills that will benefit them for years, even decades. And Legendary Marketer is poised to continue its growth as the E-learning age continues to expand.

Legendary Marketer and David Sharpe have proven to be the best-in-class source for high-quality, alternative education and will continue to dominate the space for years to come.
