One of my favorite jokes goes something like this: Guy is trapped on a roof during a flood praying to God for help. A man in a rowboat comes by and offers to save him. Guy says no, God’s got him. Then a motorboat comes by and the driver says to hop in. Guy declines, says God will save him, but thanks. Finally, a helicopter hovers overhead and a rope dangles down for the guy to climb. Guy says no need, he’s praying. Then, the water rises, and the guy drowns. The guy is up in heaven and asks God: “Why didn’t you save me???” God replies: “I sent you a rowboat and a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect?” I find that amusing on several levels. One of which being, I’ve watched it play out in many ways with some of my own would-be customers, subscribers, and even certain friends up in this business. * I’ve seen people on my list get savaged by online mobs and not make any money from it, while not buying Copy Troll. * I’ve seen people on my list suddenly complain about needing ways to make fast sales, and then ask me in desperation some things they can do to use email to make quick cash flow, while eschewing Email Players. * I’ve seen all kinds of businesses complain about shenanigans going on with competitors’ ads showing in their Facebook groups or being reported and suspended due to wrong think, sometimes even losing all their data, while snubbing SocialLair. * I’ve watched email marketers get kicked off their email service provider platform and lose their list and all their data (I am not even sure how that’s legal, but it does happen at some of them ESPs..) while putting off getting BerserkerMail. * I’ve lost count of how many business people I've seen watch their YouTube get booted off completely, losing their audiences, influence, and sales with the push of a button by some blue-haired harpie who didn't like what they had to say, while refusing to even get a free Learnistic test drive. And the list goes on. And when it happens and they come to me for advice, I’m always tempted to mock them: “I sent you Email Players, SocialLair, Learnistic, BerserkerMail, Copy Troll…” (whatever it is they are needing help with), and you didn’t bother getting it or using it.” These poor slobs are no longer innocent victims. They’re willing victims. Just like the guy on the boat. But unlike God, I’m rather unforgiving about it, and have zero sympathy when they knew there were solutions they could have been using that I provide, but they were too lazy or not sufficiently educated on just how fragile their businesses are. It’s like I always say: You can lead these people to knowledge, but you can’t make them think. And this is going to go quadruple for the information in the upcoming March Email Players issue. It has “the” key to growing a business extremely fast — certainly much faster than anything else I’ve done or seen done — and I can guarantee most who read it will smile, nod, then file it away for later use instead of implementing it immediately. "I already know this!" Even as they continue to not do it. Sometimes the real value is reminding people to do what they already know, but aren't doing, yet if they did it they'd shoot their business forward by years and decades very quickly. And that's just talking about just the first thing it write about in the March issue It's something James Cameron used to make three of the highest grossing movies in history. Clint Eastwood did to make his highest grossing movies, too. Same with guys like Jim Henson (to do The Muppets, Sesame Street, even Fraggle Rock — which was the biggest selling show in Russia at the time, of all places during the cold war...) and you can see it being done — even if they don’t “say” they do it — by a whole lot of other high achievers who lack a lot of natural talent and would, in some cases, even be outright hacks. This thing I am talking about can cure a lot of marketing sins. And yet you will see people pay lip service to it at most. But few really do it. And in the online marketing world I’d say less than 1 out of 10,000 really do it. But you will see the ultra high earning types do it. Anyway, that’s my experience with it. And you can read all about it on pages 3-6 in the March Email Players issue. This ONE tip alone will remove all excuses as far as I am concerned, which will pose a problem for a lot of people. In fact, anyone whining to me about money after reading that is truly hopeless. And they should probably just go on welfare. That’s no exaggeration, either. Newbies and goo-roo fanboys take note. This requires a real business, an offer, and a list. Without those you don’t have a business — you have a bad habit.
