Coaching & mentoring, Gary Halbert »
Saturday, 6:07 PM
Here's a question I recently received. Since I get questions like this pretty frequently I thought you might be interested in my answer.
I've been looking for a mentor. Especially a Halbert trained mentor.
I just want someone who's "been there done that" to talk with. I don't need a lot of hand holding. I just want feedback on my copy and on running a small copywriting/marketing consulting business. For the right arrangement, I'm willing to offer great value. What would it take for you to consider mentoring a promising …

Could you do me a small favor?
I recently started writing out the many lessons about life, love,
business, money, marketing and copywriting I learned while working
with the late, great Prince of Print, Gary Halbert.
There are an awful LOT of "Halbert lessons" crammed up there in my
noggin. Now it's just a matter of recall and extraction.
During this recent process of trying to recall as many lessons as
possible, I'm actually just NOW starting to understand some of them.
Heck… at the time I didn't even realize Gary was trying to teach me
something.
He had a …

Dear Friend,
I've spent the last year in a state of semi-burnout.
Actually I should say I've had the good fortune of being ABLE to spend the last year in a state of semi-burnout. My existing projects are pretty much on "auto pilot."
And that's a good thing because I've had very little desire to do any real work.
Sure, I've done what was needed to keep things rolling along and money coming in (that only takes about an hour a day) but I haven't taken on any new clients or started any new projects …

Dear Friend,
Listen up cuz this is really important.
I know this message may be "off topic" since it's not about marketing or copywriting… but it's MY newsletter so I can write about anything I want!
But seriously, I'm going to reveal some really valuable health info today.
Look, what good is it to have a successful business and make a ton of money if your health is bad and you always feel crappy.
What I'm about to reveal is truly a matter of life and death…
Just making one small change in your eating habits …

Dear Friend,
Long time no speak.
There's a reason for that.
One reason is I've been tied up with a lot of projects. (Or at least that's been my excuse.)
The REAL reason is… Gary Halbert's death back in April really took the wind out of my sails.
If you've read any of my previous newsletters you know that Gary was my friend and mentor. I've learned soooooo much from him.
It was comforting to know that the solutions to many of my business and personal problems (plus a lot of laughs) were just a phone …

Dear Friend,
Here's something Ronald Reagan used to say:
"Trust but verify."
That could have saved me a lot of money and heartache if I would have done that in many of my personal and business relationships.
But what's important is… I'm doing it now. And after a …

Dear Friend,
From an early age I realized I think differently than the the rest of the world.
For a while I wondered if everybody else was normal and I wasn't. As I got older I realized I was one of the few sane …
