"My Eyeballs started to sweat" — that's hilarious.

Yeah, and I don't get all passionate and pumped up when guys like D.D. talk about not quitting

Great Call Dan!

I REALLY regret something about the teleseminar…

Near the end when I was getting quite passionate about the warrior topic… I dropped the "F-bomb".

Oops! Sorry about that. I didn't mean to offend anyone. I've been kicking myself about it ever since.

I was really hoping that maybe one day when they're ready, my niece and nephews would listen to that message. I really don't want them to hear Uncle D.D. dropping the "F-bomb".

But it's done now and a part of history… so I'll just say… "the devil made me do it."

Onward.

I really appreciate all of you taking the time to post your comments.

It's good to see some friends on here, too.

Wendy… try the replay again. I changed it from a Quicktime file to a Windows Media file. That should work for you.

Mark Nolan is a great direct response marketer and is a hero of mine. I was a faithful subscriber to his print newsletter back in the 90's. It was always filled with great project ideas each month. A real inspiration to me. I guess that rascal made so much money he retired from teaching marketing and now focuses on enjoying life. Good on ya, Mark!

Stan… thanks for both your comments. I'm glad you listened to the whole call and got the part at the end.

Nick… You've already got the core belief of not quitting. As long as you continue to put it into practice, (and I know you will) you're a fellow warrior.

Dan… what can I say? You can always trust a guy named Dan, can't you? Thanks for your comment.

Angel… it sounds like you're a warrior in training. See you very soon at the victory feast. (I'm starting to enjoy all these warrior analogies!)

Ade… good to have you here. I can tell you definitely "got it." Cool website, too.

Marya… thank you for your heartfelt comments. It was my pleasure.

Jeff Brown… the warrior was already inside you. I may have provided a bit of a spark but you brought it to life yourself. YOU rock, my friend.

Darrel Hawes… I LIKE kicking people in the keister! lol Thanks for being open minded enough to let me do a little kicking. We ALL need that every now and then.

Rainer… it's nice to see you again. Boy, oh boy… can I relate to your comment, "it’s tough when you’ve got to listen to the comments from others, especially your loved ones who keep waiting & waiting but don’t see the results yet."

It sucks when loved ones don't have the spirit and vision of a warrior. You just gotta keep moving forward and hope they don't hold you back too much.

All my co-workers laughed at me when I started my business. And my own mother told me I better stay at my dead-end civil service job because that was the best somebody of our "class" could do.

Ain't nobody laughing now!

You ever hear the story of the crabs in the bucket?

Put one crab in a bucket and it immediately crawls out. Put a bunch of crabs in a bucket and every time one tries to crawl out, the others pull him back in.

I hate to say this but I'm a straight shooter and I gotta tell it like it is…

In most cases, your family and friends are the crabs in the bucket. They're going to do everything they can to make sure you can't get out of there. Because if you DO… your success will be a silent accusation that THEY could do it, too… but don't have the balls. It's so much easier for them to drag you back in the bucket instead of "man up" and improve their lot in life, too.

In spite of them, be the warrior, dude. We've spoken several times and I'm a pretty good judge of character. You're already a warrior. Your actions prove it. It's just that you're still in the midst of the battle. But don't worry… your victory feast is coming.

Whew! I kinda went off on a tangent, didn't I?

Mike… Glad you liked the starving market stuff. If you liked that, I've got a BIG surprise for you. I'll be posting it on the blog soon.

Anita… Sounds like you got some good tidbits. Send me your marketing manual when it's ready. I'd love to read it.

Kristie… One of the things you learned, "The easiest sale to make is to a current or prior customer" can make you a FORTUNE. Took me years in the direct response biz before that sunk in. I'm glad you got it early.

Jeff Biagetti… I'll quote one of my favorite lines from an Ahhhnold movie: "You're a funny guy. That's why I'll kill you last." (Jeff's an old friend from Barberton, Ohio. His comment is an inside joke you probably wouldn't find funny… but still makes me laugh out loud.)

Vivian… Thank you. I've been accused of being TOO honest by some.

Frank… Thanks for listening. Glad you liked it.

Tammy… Glad you liked the warrior talk. If you signed up on the form while it was still up, then your book is already on the way. If you liked the warrior talk, you'll also like my chapter in the book.

John Thomas… thanks, dude. I wanted so badly for people to "get" the warrior message, I was really nervous. I was actually pacing the floor and sweating during that part.

See, I felt like I was entrusted with a precious gift that HAD to be shared with those who were ready for it. And I needed to do everything in my power to make people understand it.

Not sure if you could hear it but I had to stop a couple times when I was talking about my friend, Glenn. Doberman Dan doesn't cry… but my eyeballs started to sweat a couple times when I was telling Glenn's story.

Anyhoo… thank you all for listening to the teleseminar and posting your comments.

See you soon.

Awesome teleseminar. The best part, IMO? The get off your butt and be a warrior speech!

Thanks, man.

Just finished listening to your teleseminar. Great info!! I am so grateful for the "Warrior" talk. I really needed that!! I can tell how passionate you are about it and I am sooo looking forward to the book by you, Dr. Dyer who I love and Brian Tracy.
