Dear Friend,
Remember a couple months ago when I gave you the REAL secret behind The Secret?
Well, guess what showed up on my doorstep this past Friday just in time for my birthday.
I'll give you a hint…
Yes, I'm still in my PJ's. FedEx arrived pretty early… 11:00AM.
Here I am excitedly pulling it out of the box…

Look at this beauty! Even Chiqui Rikki is impressed.

She's finally mine! (Donner's not so thrilled his post-breakfast nap has been interrupted.)

Here are the steps I took to manifest this guitar in just …

Dear Friend,
Happy Friday the 13th!
It's not like I'm superstitious or anything but it might be a good idea to avoid guys in hockey masks today.
(Insert rim shot here… followed by chirping cricket.)
Oooooo-K…
I'm going to get into some of my down and dirty "street level" entrepreneurship stuff today… but first I want to talk about somebody who has been getting on my nerves lately…
No, not any of the online con-men.
The Colombiana.
I think she is the most persistent person I have ever met in my entire life.
Seriously.
I thought …

Dear Friend,
Did you know there's a little known search engine with abso-frickin-tutely HOOOOYUGE amounts of traffic?
As a matter of fact, it has so many daily searches, it almost rivals the 800 lb. gorilla, Google.
It's true!
And it ain't Yahoo, Bing, Ask.com (does anybody even use that anymore?)… or any other traditional search engine.
In fact, in an official presentation to their richest, cigar chomping, top hat wearing, Monopoly game guy-looking, fat cat investors… it was ceremoniously disclosed they process upwards of 2 B-B-B-BILLION searches per month!
And that, according to reliable …

"You are writing the script of your life."
- John Carlton
Dear Friend,
Thoreau was right…
Most people really DO live lives of quiet desperation and die with the music still inside them.
Or like John Carlton said at our recent mastermind meeting…
Most people live their entire lives as if following a script written by somebody else.
They have no earthly idea THEY are writing the script.
And even more amazing… they have no idea their script writing software has a delete button…
… Or they can change the plot… or even the entire cast of …

Dear Friend,
I've often been asked what I would do if I had to start all over again and didn't have much money.
Well… here's your answer.
All the best,

Dear Friend,
I've never really had the luxury of having a lot of money to start most of my "kitchen table" businesses.
Even later in my career when I DID have a fair amount of capital to invest, I still did it on the cheap.
In fact, I started my very first direct response business (which is still going after 14 years) for only $200.
I'm the master of starting on a shoestring budget and "bootstrapping" your way to success.
One day, I'd LOVE to have a client say…
"I've got $1 …

Dear Friend,
I received an offer yesterday from someone who wants to buy one of my "kitchen table" businesses for one million dollars.
Yup… a cool million.
A "1" with six zeroes after it.
Seven figures.
One MILLION dollars. (Spoken in my best Dr. Evil accent.)
Now I realize that the gaggle of gurus will laugh at that as "small change". After all, those guys allegedly make that per MINUTE on the Internet. But dag nabbit, for a poor kid from a broken home in Barberton, Ohio… that's still a lot of money.
So I …
