Important Update: Read this before going any further
I have no idea how you found my website. Perhaps you’re an existing subscriber just checking in to see what’s up… perhaps you read or heard about my book, “How To Make Maximum Money With Minimum Customers”… or perhaps you just stumbled over here the way we all seem to find new sites – seamlessly…

Finally, a reason not to hate stupid people:
For years now, I have… not hated, but really struggled with, stupid people. I’m upset how they waste and steal my time that I can never get back… I’m insanely frustrated by their ignorance and ineptitude… and they generally make me want to move to deserted island, eating only what I can kill or pluck…

Happy Thanksgiving wishes to you and your family
I’ve been reasonably absent for much of this year – at least from emailing you and the rest of my list. This is the first time that’s ever happened, but… I’ve been at this for 16 years now, and I’ve worked in over 104 different industries with more than 300 clients. It’s not like I…

54% On Page Conversion Rate? Performance Results Examples:
I haven’t sent out many emails lately, simply because I’ve been incredibly busy. Not only with consulting and copywriting clients, but with a couple of side projects I have going on. Plus, I’ve been playing guitar as often as possible, and having a great time doing it. I’ve never really discussed this at length, but…

Good Billboard Advertising?
I’ve been incredibly busy lately, so just a few quick things to catch up on, today. You know, it would seem to me that of all the advertising media in existence… billboard advertising is some of the most wasted. It’s really odd what people put up on billboards. For some reason, most advertisers just seem…

Weirdest thing that’s ever happened to me, by far: Fly To The Rainbow?
Before I get to my “weird” story, I wanted to share a couple of other things with you… 1. Apparently, an interview I did on generating leads through building sales systems has either just been posted or maybe even reposted. If you’d like to listen to it, check it out right here 2. Funny article…

“It is between two wolves…”
One evening, an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that was raging inside him. He said, “My son, it is between two wolves.” “One is evil, and filled with anger, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false price, superiority and ego…” Check this out: I recently put together a lead…

Isolation.
I have a really close friend I grew up with. We don’t talk as much as we used to, but when we do speak – which is probably 3 to 5 times a year – it’s as if the last conversation just ended yesterday. I guess that’s what happens when you know someone for 38…

The passenger next to you never told you this, that’s for sure…
Airplane flights are interesting. Sometimes you can sit there and read and listen to your ipod. Other times you get stuck next to the sweaty fat guy or the crying kid. And still, other times you find yourself involved in a pretty deep, pretty intimate conversation with a complete stranger. That’s what happend to my…

Happy Birthday, Sam
Today is my daughter Sam’s 15th birthday. Being 15 is pretty damn difficult, especially nowadays. Social media has increased peer expectations and decreased personal freedom, for kids. I have to admit, even though I’m not one to rush time away… I’ll look forward to the day when Sam’s through all the teenage angst. I wrote…

For people to lazy to walk their dogs to go pee…
Sometimes I wonder if there’s something wrong with me. Or maybe if I just don’t see things the same way most people do. Example: I belong to a professional trade association from an earlier career I had. Last week they sent me an advertisement by email. “Today ONLY, the discount on Dell Computers is DOUBLE.”…

Where has the time g-g-g-gone?
This is basically my first (or maybe my second) email of the year. Lots of things are going on with me, and some of them will be bring changes to my business. I have a number of really cool client projects I’m working on right now, and that isn’t going to let up any time…

10 Biggest, most painful lessons I learned in 2014:
First off, since we haven’t spoke in almost two weeks, I certainly hope you had a great holiday season. I spent a lot of time with my family, and got to catch up with a bunch of my friends. So, it was a peaceful and relaxing time, which is probably how the holidays should be.…

Reggie.
My first two years away at college were a hot mess. I was too immature to interact socially… I had very little coping skills to deal with new people in a new environment… and I felt like a fish out of water. After these two years, I left, and finished off at a local school…

Real Estate Investing?
Pay close attention to this message – especially if you live outside of America. About 5 or 6 years ago, I wanted to start investing in real estate. So I went to a guy I knew who supposedly did well as an investor, and I asked him what to do. He was a real estate…

The Rainbow Bridge: you’ll get there one day…
I pulled this out last week because a client of mine was recently talking about losing her dog and I was reminded of it. I don’t know who wrote it, but 10 years ago, I had to put my dog down and our veterinarian gave it to me afterwards. If you’ve ever had a pet…

Hello darkness, my old friend: What’s your technique for persevering in difficult situations?
There are certain things in life you experience that cause you pain. For example… A well-known, well liked celebrity passes away, and it stirs up all kinds of emotional angst and introspection… A friend or business partner stabs you in the back or treats you unkindly and you feel betrayed… Someone in your immediate family…
