Here\u2019s a little story about back in the day. The time when families use to all live together and raise their own food.<\/p>\n

BTW, if things continue down the path we\u2019re currently on, we all might have to go back to that.<\/p>\n

But I digest.<\/p>\n

(And yes, for the humorless twits who always email me, I know the word is \u201cdigress.\u201d But how\u2019s\u00a0that<\/em>\u00a0funny?)<\/p>\n

Anyhoo… the big meal of the week on the farm was always Sunday after church. That\u2019s when the whole family gathered around the table, enjoyed a big meal together and shared their experiences and observations from that week.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, since Sunday was little Bobby\u2019s birthday, Mama decided that the main course of the Sunday meal would be duck.<\/p>\n

Just so you know, the family ducks were always fed greasy, smelly fish. That\u2019s what ducks were accustomed to eating. It\u2019s cheap, the ducks like it and it keeps them healthy, active and lean.<\/p>\n

But three days before the big Sunday meal, here\u2019s what Mama did to prepare the duck:<\/p>\n

She told her oldest daughter, Lillian, to choose three ducks and separate them from the flock. Then they were caged in their own area and instead of being fed fish, they were constantly fed corn and sour milk to prepare them for Sunday\u2019s meal.<\/p>\n

That Sunday, the whole family raved about how succulent the duck tasted. And Mama was proud as could be.<\/p>\n

Now back in those days, duck was considered something of a delicacy. It was usually only served on special occasions. But Mama felt so proud because the family raved about her duck, she decided that she would serve duck again next Sunday.<\/p>\n

So once again… three days before the big meal she told Lillian to go choose three ducks and start feeding them corn and sour milk.<\/p>\n

The only problem was this:<\/p>\n

Lillian was being courted by a boy named Richard from the farm down the road. And her heart was totally twitter-pated by his mere presence. So, when he showed up at the exact moment that Lillian was going to separate the three ducks, she lost all sense of time. Instead of separating the ducks and feeding them corn and sour milk, she spent the entire afternoon gazing into Richard\u2019s dreamy blue eyes.<\/p>\n

When Sunday came around and Mama asked her to go prepare the ducks for the meal, Lillian knew she was in big trouble. However, instead of telling Mama the truth, Lillian kept her mistake a secret.<\/p>\n

She went and grabbed three ducks, chopped off their heads and started preparing them for the meal.<\/p>\n

At mealtime, Mama set the three ducks in front of the family and sat back waiting for their praise… just like the Sunday before.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis duck tastes like smelly fish,\u201d grunted Papa.<\/p>\n

\u201cYuck, this is nasty,\u201d said little brother Bobby. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t taste anything like last week\u2019s duck.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then Granny chimed in, \u201cYeah, this SUCKS! I\u2019ll tell ya something there, lil\u2019 miss missy. Back in my day, a good wife wouldn\u2019t be caught dead serving a duck like this, dag nabbit!\u201d (Granny never like Mama. And she had always been very vocal about the fact that she wished her son would have married Betty Sue, rich Doctor Wyatt\u2019s daughter.)<\/p>\n

While Mama sat there in shock, confusion and embarrassment, Granny slugged back a double shot of moonshine, chucked her drumstick at Mama and shouted, \u201cSon, let\u2019s blow this popsicle stand and go get us some GOOD vittles at Doctor Wyatt\u2019s house. His daughter still has that rockin\u2019 rack you used to lust after, ya know.\u201d<\/p>\n

The moral of the story?<\/p>\n

As within, so without.<\/p>\n

In other words, your input determines your output.<\/p>\n

Or as the computer geeks say, GIGO… garbage in, garbage out.<\/p>\n

You see, you can be a good tasting duck… or you can be a nasty tasting duck that smells like putrefied fish. YOU are directly in control of that. Because you are directly in control of what you allow to enter your heart and mind.<\/p>\n

And yes, it really is as simple as that.<\/p>\n

That means that if your business and income are not where you want them to be… it ain\u2019t the economy\u2019s fault… it ain\u2019t due to an alleged international pandemic… it ain\u2019t the fault of\u00a0anybody<\/em>\u00a0else.<\/p>\n

Welcome to quantum reality, my revered reader. As within, so without.<\/p>\n

In other words, YOU and ONLY you are directly responsible for EVERYTHING in your business.<\/p>\n

And the proof of that is LEGION.<\/p>\n

Whether you choose to accept this as truth or not… either way, you\u2019ll wind up proving it.<\/p>\n

You see, only recently did I understand something that has puzzled me for the last quarter of a century:<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve given people EVERYTHING they need to know about direct response marketing and copywriting to build ANY kind of business, income and lifestyle that a human being can imagine and desire. As a matter of fact, that\u2019s what I do month after month for the knights in my Marketing Camelot.<\/p>\n

Yet… people still struggle and give up.<\/p>\n

Or a million times worse… they remain \u2018turned-to-stone\u2019 on their torpid tushies, cowering in fear and NEVER taking action on what they claim to be their biggest dream or desire.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

They\u2019re a duck stuck on a diet of smelly fish.<\/p>\n

Listen… this is without a doubt the number one thing you absolutely MUST do if you want to advance in your business. You can have all the \u201chow to\u201d in the world (and many people in the IM space do) but you will always plateau… or in the worst case, NEVER make any progress… until you change your \u2018mental diet.\u2019<\/p>\n

And until you make a commitment to do\u00a0that<\/em>… and\u00a0keep<\/em>\u00a0doing it until you no longer smell like nasty fish… no amount of \u201chow to,\u201d effort or even prayer will make one iota of difference.<\/p>\n

Sooooooo<\/em>… instead of smelly fish, chew on\u00a0that<\/em>.<\/p>\n

All the best,
\nDoberman Dan<\/p>\n

P.S. I know my opinion is biased \u2019cuz it\u2019s my creation… however, I\u2019m revealing BREAKTHROUGH stuff in\u00a0The Doberman Dan Letter<\/em>\u00a0to help you transform your limiting beliefs to empowering beliefs… in the fastest time possible. So you can ultimately have the kind of business you truly desire.<\/p>\n

You see, this was the\u00a0numero uno<\/em>\u00a0thang that held me back for DECADES… in spite of darn near superhuman, nonstop effort and action implementing the \u2018how to.\u2019<\/p>\n

And even though it took me decades of trial and error… I did finally discover what works and what doesn\u2019t work to transform limiting beliefs to empowering beliefs.<\/p>\n

And once I had figured\u00a0that<\/em>\u00a0out… I experienced more business and income growth in a mere 4 months than I had experienced in the previous 10 YEARS.<\/p>\n

So… if you\u2019d like to know BOTH secrets to transforming your business and income — the \u2018alchemy\u2019 of turning mental ca-ca into gold…\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0the tested, tried and true \u2018how to\u2019 that works like crazy for growing your business —\u00a0click here and join me in the Marketing Camelot<\/a>.<\/p>\n
