Why do they even bother to have a
marriage or a relationship? Because they've been ingrained with the idea that
successful men almost always have a "significant other". Mostly, they're not
really conscious of it but, mostly they're doing it just for appearances. Nobody
who really loves his woman arranges his life to be away from her…

NOTE: It has been statistically
proven that this is NOT true of people who attend my seminars!

"Nothing is impossible for a
person who refuses to listen to reason!"

My favorite all time quote. I live
by these words.

Reasonable people suck. They never,
ever make any type of worthwhile breakthrough. It's the people who REFUSE to
listen to reason and conventional wisdom who keep humanity…

"Write your first draft... VERY
fast!"

I cannot stress this somewhat simple
point enough. It's VERY important.

Fast writing, written when
you are ablaze, always carries the most passion and conviction and
"convincing power"!

Look, you can always "tone it down"
later. Your first draft has to be written fast and furious! Don't worry about
spelling. Don't worry about grammar. Don't worry about punctuation. Don't worry
about too many "that's". Don't worry about offending anyone. Don't worry about
facts (how many miles to the gallon does this…

"Be careful NOT to take your prospect out of his "comfort zone"

during the beginning of your sales presentation!"

Don't shock someone's sensitivity by
screaming at them to purchase your wares... before... you warm them up a little.
Remember...

YELLING... is NOT... Selling!

Commit to "Image Suicide" whenever
necessary!

Do NOT get locked into the role of
an expert who can't learn from "lesser" people. It's a very expensive lesson to
learn the hard way.

Never put a photograph of yourself in
an ad... if you have a beard.

For some reason, an
awful lot of people don't trust men with beards.

A sure-fire way to increase your income is to occasionally give all the money
back to some person who has hired you to do a job... and... turns out to be an
asshole!

Send it to him via FedEx with a
short letter that says something like, "I made a mistake when I agreed to accept
you as a client. You are way too much of a pain in the ass to be worth ANY
amount of money. Don't bother trying to call, write or e-mail me. I will destroy
any…

Do this even if you NEED the money.

I promise you, you will be extremely
surprised at how much having the emotional strength to do this will add to your
overall income.

You'll also feel a LOT better about
yourself.

Here's a great way to fuck up someone's mind!

Send them a telegram that says:

"John, it is absolutely urgent you
ignore my

first telegram!"

Then arrange it so
whomever you sent the telegram to has absolutely no way whatsoever to contact
you for at least a week

"I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or

insanity to anyone... but...

they've always worked for me!"

This is a remark by Hunter S.
Thompson and it seems to me that a hell of a lot (millions) of people agree with
him.

"Don't let it end like this. Tell
them I said something."

These are my absolute favorite last
words of a dying man. It was Pancho Villa and if George Dubya happened to be
dying and, he didn't have one of his writers around, I bet he'd say…

Do You Make These Seven Fatal
Mistakes Whenever You Try To Pick Up Women?

This is a variation of "Do You Make
These Mistakes In English?" which was the headline of an ad that ran for more
than 40 years.

Surely, even if you are as dumb as
Polish cabbage, you can think of some way to use this technique.

There is a lot of what is called
"medical tourism" in Costa Rica. The doctors are as good... or better... than
American doctors. AND, both the doctors and the prescription medicines are so
much cheaper... you wouldn't believe it!

For example: I had a cataract
operation in Costa Rica and I had to use prescription eye drops for 9-days after
the operation. The prescription eye drops cost me $15 in Costa Rica... and...
more than $73 here in the United States.

If any of this ever becomes of
interest to you, contact CIMA Hospital in San Jose and tell them what kind of
doctor you need... and... you want only a doctor who is connected with this
hospital.
