I’m sitting in the back of the room at Ken McArthur’s JV Alert seminar in Denver. People paid big bucks to be here, it’s a small group…and you’d be surprised at how many “gurus” are in the room. Joel Comm is here. So is Rick Raddatz. Rick Buttz. Frank Sousa. Tip of the iceburg. Why [...]

Armand Morin, Seth Godin, Frank Kern and A Cast Of Thousands. (Thank You)
It’s the first day of the New Year. I should be working on other stuff. For instance, I have 8 more small business profit boosters to write for you (I’m up to #13 and I promised 21). But… I felt compelled to write this post instead. I’ve been reflecting on who I owe my success [...]

Internet Marketing “Insider” Interview
Recently I was interviewed by one of my copywriting buddies. His name is Ben Settle, and if you don’t know about Ben you should. He has one of the best copwriting blogs on the ‘net. Anyway, the interview was supposed to be a one-hour interview. It ended up being well over 2 hours. After listening [...]

Why are some businesses remarkable and others are not? A story about my friend Felix will help you understand [...]
Short Sales Copy For Expensive Seminar
Fortin has cause a big stir with his report on “The Death of the Salesletter”. Get it. Read it. It’s not a come-on for something else, there’s no “squeeze page”, and no “hidden launch” of some other product. I agree with most of what Michel has to say in that report. Want to see some [...]

Ray Edwards and John Reese
Just got back from the Customer Appreciation Seminar Alex Mandossian and Armand Morin put on in Orlando. As you know, I am a big proponent of attending seminars as a way to build your business. You never know who you might connect with…as you can see by the photo below, I ran into John Reese [...]
Free Online Video Seminar
I just got tipped to this by Stu McLaren: It’s a full seminar put on by Inc. Magazine and the link above will take you to a place (once you register) where you can watch the whole thing for free. One of the presentations I especially like was Bernie Marcus (Co-founder of Home Depot). His [...]

Idea Incubator Photos
Meanwhile, as you’re no doubt impatient to see some kind of photos…here are some shots from Stu McLaren’s Idea Incubator Seminar in Anaheim back in February. It was a full house. Guess it was that great copy in the salesletter that filled the room (wink, wink). That’s me and Stu McLaren (brilliant event Stu! Bravo!) [...]
