Twenty years ago, I encountered someone in the throes of beginnerdom.

Even though he'd been at it for years already.

I was at a Yes concert, and the opener was a band with a peculiar name: Porcupine Tree.

Their vibe, particularly on the album they were promoting at the time, couldn't have been more different from that of the ethereal Jon Anderson and Yes.

I remember actually being annoyed, and borderline angry, that such a band would have been the opener.

But I couldn't get the music out of my head, and within weeks I'd purchased everything they ever released.

I found out later, when reading frontman Steven Wilson's book, that at the time they toured with Yes, they had just released an album on which they'd spent much more than usual on production and marketing.

They were extremely talented and writing high-quality music -- surely this would be their breakthrough.

It wound up selling no more than any other album. It was demoralizing.

Yet last year I attended their sold-out show at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

And just today, I received an email with details regarding Wilson's upcoming solo album, the special limited edition of which "includes a totally reimagined 77-minute alternate version of the album with contributions by artists such as Manic Street Preachers, Roland Orzabal (Tears For Fears), Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth), Interpol and others, as well as a Blu-ray containing 6 different ways to listen to the album; high-res stereo, Dolby Atmos and 5.1 mixes, all in both vocal and instrumental form."

A brilliant idea.

They don't write conventional, verse-chorus-verse-chorus music in 4/4, so they can forget about radio play. And yet somehow they went from nothing to sold-out shows and a top-five album all over the world.

This didn't happen simply because people accidentally stumbled upon them. It happened, from what I can see, because they got better at the business end of music.

My point, after this considerable preamble, is this:

It's tough being a newbie, and some people never advance beyond newbie levels of success. Sometimes that's because they're just not that good, but other times it's because they lack the knowledge that would have helped them achieve great things.

I'm sure Steven Wilson wishes he knew as a young man much of what he's had to learn through years and years of struggle and obscurity.

The point of my Ron Paul Curriculum courses is to take knowledge that it took me 20 years to acquire and condense it into six to 12 months of learning -- to spare other people the grind I had to endure.

And that's what Marlon Sanders does for you in his Fast Start system. Marlon is a business genius, and he condenses much of his knowledge into an easily digestible program that can generate results much faster than did Steven Wilson or any of the rest of us who had to learn it all the hard way.

In just two days he taught my mastermind all kinds of things that will make them much more prosperous, and those people are in all different industries.

He can help you, too, even -- especially? -- if you're a beginner.

He's added a bunch of bonuses just since yesterday, so check it out:
