My wife’s brother Alan runs a relief agency, ChildrensRelief.org. The Jagged Edge – hey man, that’s Alan’s Unique Selling Proposition. He says, “Come to Calcutta. You won’t be disappointed. I’ll hook you up with Smriti.”
"Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords changed my life."
As an author, nothing makes my day better than someone who says, “You changed my life!” Bryan and I got just such an email from blogger and PPC consultant Adam Kreitman:
Hi Bryan-
While the 80/20 Productivity and Consulting Accelerator courses this year have been incredible, I still credit the original version of The Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords with…
Titanium and the Dan Kennedy Epiphany
The story I’m about to tell you happened exactly 10 years ago.
I’d been out-of-Dilbert-Cube for 9 months. I had a fledgling consulting practice. I was paying my bills – and desperately trying to grow an info marketing business. Which was proving to be quite a bit more difficult than I’d ever anticipated.
How committed are you??? Seriously.
I’ve worked up-close and in-person with many hundreds of entrepreneurs, serial entrepreneurs and millionaires.
I advised Clate Mask, president of InfusionSoft, when all he had was three guys in a room writing custom software for anybody who would give them money. Now he’s doing well over ten million dollars a year.
I coached Jeff Hughes, founder of Sterling Satellite and Rocket Clicks, when he was an attorney doing affiliate marketing on the side and LOSING $15,000 per month. Now he is also doing well over ten million dollars a year.
And so it goes with all kinds of people –
A Story for Dads
I wanna tell you a story about my dad. When I was 17, a junior in high school, I quit my first job as a janitor to go full time in my speaker-building business. Back then, “full time” really just meant after school and weekends. For the rest of high school, my money came from the business I ran out of my mom and dad’s garage.
A few months later…
Only 1 seat left for London 4-Man Intensive +Note important change
I’m doing a 2-day 4-Man Intensive in London, 2 weeks from now.
The event sold out very fast. At the prodding of my sales staff, I expanded the 2-day 4-Man Intensive to a 3-day 6-Man Intensive. Each person gets a half-day hot-seat. You’ll witness six businesses getting taken apart and put back together.
Never done this before, may never again.
Seat #5 is sold now too. Only Seat #6 is left. Price is £4838 British Pounds.
Do you resist great advice?
The other day at a 4-Man Intensive, someone in the group was dispensing some REALLY good advice to a surgeon. He adamantly resisted it.
"My Latte's too Foamy"
I’ve got two teenagers, ages 13 and 16. They have a pretty nice life.
Sometimes they express, uh, a sense of entitlement.
Can you say the following aloud, in a whiny, petulent voice?
“My latte’s too foamy!”
Names & Details Changed. But the Story is 100% True.
Every bit of this story is true; only the names and places have been changed. (For reasons which will become obvious.)
U2, and Rational = Boring, Irrational = Fun
A *LOT* of Planet Perry people spend their days selling a logical, reasonable, rational, “no-brainer” proposition to the world. Whether it’s some health product or a mechanical assembly or a service company, it’s basically:
1) Have Problem
2) Give Me Money
3) Solve Problem
…and sometimes you wonder why nobody’s getting’ excited.
What do you do about that?
The answer is found at a U2 concert. What goes on there?
