Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Last month, I ran a survey to my list, and 51.4% of the people who responded said they wanted this. There is a MAJOR deadline to get this, however, so move now. Now go sell something, Craig Garber P.S.  Oh, and it’s only for the first four people who respond, on top of everything else.

There are two common threads amongst literally 100% of all the really successful people I’ve met over the last eleven years.  The first is that at a certain point in time before they became successful… they pretty much had one single-minded purpose for living: to make their businesses successful. With the exception of perhaps illness…

Today I want to talk about something very important, and something that’s very subtle.  So pay attention, because it’s typically the subtle things that take you from being merely “good” to being incredibly successful. What I want to talk about is why your buyers are going to listen to you. This is something most people…

As you know, there are only three ways to make more money in your business. One of them is to increase your prices, and frankly, with a few exceptions, it’s actually the easiest way.  And here’s why: see, most people see themselves inside a vacuum. They think “If I increase my prices, I’ll lose customers…

There are loads of reasons why your buyers buy.  And most people buy from you simply because their want is strong enough for whatever you’re selling. But there are also many buyers who need a “reason” or even a “cause” to buy something. And in this case, you would be a very smart marketer, if…

Over the weekend I went to the County Fair. It wasn’t very crowded this year.  Between the lingering impact of the recession and the fact that the temperature was lower than usual here on the Gulf in Florida, buyers were scarce. I particularly like going through the indoor part of the fair, because you get…

There is probably nothing more influential and relevant to your outcome, than the words you use when you’re speaking to your buyers.  One thing to keep in mind, is that you’re going to be a lot more compelling, if you’re always engaging your prospects using action-oriented words. Words that get them moving… and words that…

One of my longest running groups is my Maverick’s Group.  You need to listen to just some of the many questions I answered for the members of this group, over the last couple of months alone.  Maybe you have similar questions you need answered in your business: 1st set, from an industry “guru” in California:…

First, I apologize for the mixup in yesterday’s e-mail.  I tried to correct the wacky characters that were in the original e-mail, but as you already know, it didn’t work.  So if you want to see the “Top 10 Superbowl Ads And Why They Work (Or Not)” posting, without all the extra characters, just check…

One of the best things about human nature is that it’s fairly predictable.  Certain actions and re-actions, are so reliable you can practically set your watch to them. For instance, our inherent desire to get a bargain when possible. Doesn’t matter how affluent you are or what you’re buying or how many times you’ve bought…

Here’s a great little copywriting “secret within a secret” for you.  Guarantees, as long as they are good ones (another subject for another day) are one of the most important safety nets you can offer your customers. However, there are some situations where having a guarantee makes a HUGE difference, and other situations where this…

In my Seductive Selling System, one of the emotional buy buttons I cover has to do with people taking action because, frankly… “everyone else is doing it.”  So for instance, one of the reasons why people will buy things is because other people have done the same thing. The thinking goes, “if it’s good enough…

A couple of weeks ago my older son and I went to the Gov’t Mule concert here in Tampa.  We saw them five years ago and had a blast, and their recent show was no different. After the show, we went out back behind the club where the band was playing, to meet with the…
