I made a couple of sales this week as a result of a sales letters I wrote about 6 months ago. The system we put in place, took a long time to set up. It was for a specific niche, and felt like nothing was happening for quite awhile. But we had to set up the […]
In the early days of entrepreneurship, I became familiar with a concept called “Operation Moneysuck.” I believe I learned this from either John Carlton or Gary Halbert – two brilliant copywriters.

What makes bland writing stand out from soulless writing? It’s the ability to go out on a limb, and speak from your heart.

Richard Feynaman, a theoretical physicist, once stated: “We are trying to prove ourselves wrong as quickly as possible, because only in that way we can find progress.” If only science worked that way across the board, right?
