If you missed last week’s post, you missed 5500 of the greatest headlines courtesy of the “father of preeminence,” Jay Abraham. But you can still grab those at the link above. This week we’ve got “part two” of giveaways from Jay…two incredible interviews–making a total of 5502 “shades of Jay” just for you! Click ...

A few weeks ago I told you how,  “Your mentors choose you”… but I didn’t expect that one of MY mentors, the great Jay Abraham, would choose ALL OF YOU based on my recommendation that you are all awesome subscribers…and students! Jay recently came to one of my Titans Mastermind meetings and problem-solved for ...

I hate using this blog to rant…I would much rather just teach and share…so please don’t take this week’s video too literally. However, since you know that one of my core premises is that we always need to play the “long game” and not just look for quick hits (and quick money) with our ...

For this week’s post I wanted to share a video that blew me away…it is so powerful and profound in its simplicity…and the messenger is a super special friend and inspirational leader I met last year when I was “masterminding at the Pentagon.” Scott Mann, a former decorated Green Beret was a guest speaker ...

We have it easy in the U.S. Becoming an entrepreneur is the American dream and encouraged; and most of us realize that marketing isn’t everything…it’s the only thing. But in most other countries around the world that is not the case. I’ve talked in the past about my good friend Sebastien Night, “The French ...

I’m a huge believer in “owning a niche” rather than “owning the world”… Today I want to share with you an interesting perspective on this idea with a couple of real life experiences that may convince you of the same… I would love to know what you think after watching the video below. P.S. Many of ...

You may think with a subject line like that, this post is about politics. Let me assure you what I want to share today has nothing to do with anything political. I’m assuming you are all getting your election news in other places…but isn’t this the most fascinating Presidential election in our lifetime? BUT ...

Some years ago I attended a conference where an expert in digital books talked about physical books still being what he called a “perfect product.” And although the ways we consume books, market them and use them for fun and profit has changed considerably over the years, books are not going away anytime soon…and ...

“No one lying on their death bed wishes they spent more time at the office” And despite loving my work, I guess that’s true for me too. Of course those of you who hate your job, and are at the office right now, are probably running for the door… But being dedicated to your ...

Most people think that finding a mentor is as easy as scrolling through your Facebook friends and reaching out with a well crafted email. But that’s completely wrong. Your mentors actually choose you. In this video I’ll tell you what you need to do if you want to find a mentor who will invest ...

I’m trying something new… While I love to write my blog every week, clearly I don’t write one every week. But I really want to keep sharing with you as much as I can because you’ve been such an incredible audience for everything I’ve sent to you in the past. In that spirit, it ...

If you go to “The Demotivators Collection” at www.Despair.com, here is what they say about “Meetings”: “None of us is as dumb as all of us” Have you made decisions in your life, business or personal, where you look back on them and ask the question:  “How come no one suggested that I/we do ...

I heard a speaker last year who is an expert on “marketing to millennials”–and since hearing that speaker, the topic seems to come up everywhere (and more often). Bernie Sanders had something to do with that I guess…but it made me think that it’s a great topic for us to explore as marketers, copywriters ...

As I gear up for another summer of umpiring dozens of meaningful Little League games (well, they are meaningful to the 12 year olds playing in them!), I started thinking about why I umpire as my hobby…and it seemed like an appropriate time to update a blog post from a couple of years ago ...

When I was planning the “Titans of Direct Response” I went to Dan Kennedy’s home to talk about the speakers for the event. Dan was already “in” and I told him that I wanted this to be an epic event where we covered all media from the greats in their specialties. We listed the ...

While I didn’t really get military clearance to hang out with my marketing buddies at the Pentagon, I did the next best thing. Instead, when I had the privilege last March to speak to our troops stationed just outside The Pentagon at Fort Myer, Virginia, I took that opportunity to speak to them about ...

While I often talk about all the triumphs I’ve had in the direct marketing wars over the years, talking about my biggest failures is something that I have talked about in recent interviews more and more – and the feedback I have gotten is that listeners found it useful and instructional. And frankly, it ...

I hope you don’t think I am being disrespectful with my subject line…but I was just given this coffee mug as a gift: And if that wasn’t enough, another one of the Legends being profiled in my new book is also on the same mug: Ogilvy is now my Homeboy too! And he’s got ...
