In my 12 years of being a street cop I met a LOT of thieves.<\/p>\n
So I know thief when I see one.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why I\u2019m pretty darn qualified when I say that YOU, my revered reader, are a thief.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s even more shocking is\u00a0who<\/em>\u00a0you\u2019re stealing from.<\/p>\n Now before you get your Barbie panties in a bind, allow me to explain HOW you\u2019re stealing. Then I\u2019ll explain from\u00a0whom<\/em>\u00a0you\u2019re stealing.<\/p>\n Even though you probably never realized it, here\u2019s how you\u2019re committing your thievery:<\/p>\n Any time and every time you say some variation of, \u201cI can\u2019t be\/do\/have that\u201d… you have just committed a theft.<\/p>\n What, pray tell, are you stealing?<\/p>\n The answer is simple.<\/p>\n You\u2019re stealing an opportunity. The opportunity to accomplish whatever it is you\u2019re saying you can\u2019t be\/do\/have.<\/p>\n And if you haven\u2019t already figured it out, the person you\u2019re stealing from is YOURSELF!<\/p>\n How are you stealing that opportunity?<\/p>\n Well, I discovered the answer to that a long time ago. And even though the explanation is quite simple, it has taken me five DECADES to truly understand it.<\/p>\n You\u2019re stealing that opportunity from yourself because…<\/p>\n \u201cFor as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.\u201d<\/p>\n You see, a POWERFUL force has programmed you since birth (and is STILL programming you) to believe that the pseudo self — the powerless you —\u00a0 is you.<\/p>\n And for a majority of folks, that programming goes deep,\u00a0deep<\/em>, DEEP.<\/p>\n So deep, that most don\u2019t even realize they\u2019ve been brainwashed.<\/p>\n In fact, after 13 years of mandatory incarceration in the gummint funded youth indoctrination camp (the sheeple call it \u201cpubic school\u201d), 99% of the sorry souls forced to endure that soul-sucking sentence NEVER overcome their programming.<\/p>\n Therefore, in spite of having an entire frickin\u2019\u00a0lifetime<\/em>\u00a0to rise above it and reprogram themselves, after those 13 years of cruel and unusual punishment, most don\u2019t.<\/p>\n And it isn\u2019t because they can\u2019t.<\/p>\n Most won\u2019t do the deep inner work required to reprogram themselves.<\/p>\n And because of that, if most people\u2019s gravestones were to state the truth, they would say…<\/p>\n \u201cHere lies John Doe… he lived, he consumed, he died.\u201d<\/p>\n THAT is how powerful (and never-ending) the programming is. And very,\u00a0very<\/em>, VERY few ever overcome it.<\/p>\n \u201cGee Doberman Dan, I can\u2019t start a business because [insert any excuse here.]\u201d<\/p>\n Or… \u201cI can\u2019t do [insert any proven marketing strategy here] because my business is different.\u201d<\/p>\n Or… \u201cThat won\u2019t work for me because [insert any excuse here.]\u201d<\/p>\n My reaction in the past was always some variation of… \u201cSure ya can! If I can do it, you can do it! Besides, I\u2019ll even\u00a0show<\/em>\u00a0you how to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n But the sad truth is this:<\/p>\n That rarely worked.<\/p>\n Why?<\/p>\n Because most have accepted their sheeple\/robot\/drone failure programming.<\/p>\n These days when I hear, \u201cI can\u2019t do [insert ANYTHING here] because [insert any excuse here]\u201d… my response is always the same…<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re 100% right. \u2018For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Like I said earlier, the number one reason most never rise above their programming is this:<\/p>\n They believe that they\u2019re the pseudo self, instead of who they\u00a0really<\/em>\u00a0are… infinite Self-Awareness.<\/p>\n You see, when we\u2019re talking about the REAL you, it\u2019s true that \u201call men are created equal.\u201d (Men meaning mankind, meaning ALL humans, regardless of gender.)<\/p>\n However, your life is determined by what you\u00a0do<\/em>\u00a0with that Self Awareness\/consciousness. And that\u2019s where the equality ends.<\/p>\n If you choose to accept the limiting beliefs imposed by your programming… well… \u201cFor as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.\u201d<\/p>\n If you choose to NOT accept the system\u2019s conditioning… and you reject the limiting beliefs they constantly FORCE into you… then… \u201cFor as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s as simple as that. (As most profound revelations are.)<\/p>\n But don\u2019t mistake \u201csimple\u201d to mean easy. Easy it ain\u2019t.<\/p>\n And really, based on my more than half a century of life experience, any and all self-help is just putting a Band-Aid on a gunshot wound to the chest. That is, until you realize the fact that you\u2019re not the pseudo self like you\u2019ve been programmed to believe all your life.<\/p>\n And as soon as you come THAT Self-realization, true progress can begin.<\/p>\n I imagine a few folks roll their eyes when they hear this. That\u2019s OK. In the past, before I experienced a rather sudden (and totally unexpected) expansion of consciousness, I thought it was all woo-woo, also.<\/p>\n However… if you still haven\u2019t allowed \u201cthe man\u201d to suppress all of your innate intuition, you somehow know this is all true. Because although you can\u2019t enunciate why… nor can you even state a logical argument for it… it resonates with something deep inside you.<\/p>\n Besides, think about THIS for just a minute:<\/p>\n If what I\u2019ve been sharing with you wasn\u2019t true, then why has the school system, the gummint and religion worked\u00a0sooooooo<\/em>\u00a0hard (in collusion)… and why have they collectively invested QUADRILLIONS of dollars to brainwash you into believing otherwise?<\/p>\n Hmmmmm<\/em>. Kinda makes one think, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n You see, it\u2019s likely that in the past you\u2019ve had glimpses of your greatness. Even if it was only for a few fleeting moments.<\/p>\n But during those brief glimpses, something amazing happened. You remembered who you\u00a0really<\/em>\u00a0are.<\/p>\n And what I shared with you today is resonating with THAT person. Your REAL identity.<\/p>\n Your true Self.<\/p>\n And\u00a0that<\/em>\u00a0is the you that you need to know better. Or as one famous philosopher has said, \u201cKnow thyself.\u201d<\/p>\n Listen, I realize that this isn\u2019t a typical Doberman Dan message. (Although maybe it should be.)<\/p>\n It\u2019s something that has been on my heart. And for reasons not yet understood, I felt a strong need to release it.<\/p>\n I hope it resonated with a part of you in some still, small way.<\/p>\n All the best, P.S. As much as I strive daily to \u201cbe in the world but not of the world,\u201d there are still earthly realities to deal with. The most pressing being that there are bills to pay here in the Doberman Dan compound.<\/p>\n Sooooooo<\/em>… a brief word from our sponsor:<\/p>\n Every month I\u2019m revealing some jealously guarded secrets in The Doberman Dan Letter<\/em>. One that a lot of my knights are excited about is THIS:<\/p>\n I\u2019m gonna show you the DD way of developing an offer from scratch and making it work to cold traffic.<\/p>\n If you want in on secrets like these — and what intelligent marketer who wants to get hundreds or THOUSANDS of new customers per day wouldn\u2019t? — then you need to click here and claim your knighthood TODAY<\/a>.<\/p>\n Listen, even though my bag o\u2019 tricks goes much deeper than the LMMs (lesser mortal marketers) and LMCs (lesser mortal copywriters), don\u2019t be a delusional dolt like so many DDDs (dopamine dependent dreamers) in the Internet Marketing world. What I mean is this:<\/p>\n What I reveal each month to the knights in my Marketing Camelot ain\u2019t some magic online \u201cmoney button\u201d that spits out $100 bills every time your $3\/hour virtual assistant in the Philippines pushes it for ya.<\/p>\n A mature and intelligent person knows that magic online money buttons don\u2019t exist. Therefore, only a \u201cbovine, clod pated, citified moron\u201d chases that pipe dream. (Aaahhh<\/em>, movie references.)<\/p>\n Knighthood in my Marketing Camelot is only for REAL entrepreneurs and marketers. The savvy and ambitious folks who understand that making a new offer work to cold traffic ain\u2019t easy and it takes W-O-R-K.<\/p>\n If that\u2019s you,\u00a0click here so you don\u2019t miss out<\/a> on all these customer acquisition secrets.<\/p>\n But do it soon, OK? Like right now is the ideal time\u2026 while it\u2019s still on your mind.<\/p>\n
