Dear subscriber,
If you read yesterday’s email…
… you would’ve seen a different side to Stephen Hawking, namely, his funny side.
Yup, that guy was like a pair of winklepickers – old, compact, and sharp as a needle.
Well, at the risk of boring you, I have another Stephen Hawking story to tell you. It also shows his rapier wit.
This one’s a conversation Hawking had with British political commentator John Oliver.
Check it out:
John Oliver: Who is talking to me right now? Is it you, or is it that sentient computer pretending to talk on your behalf?
Stephen Hawking: It’s me.
John Oliver: Yeah, but how do I know that, professor? Because if computers have become sentient, what better way to convince people they hadn’t than by co-opting the voice of the most intelligent man on the planet?
Stephen Hawking: You’re an idiot.
John Oliver: Yeah, but who is saying that, Stephen? You or the machine?
Stephen Hawking: Both of us.

Zinger!
Okay, good sirs and fair maidens, that’s enuff about Stephen Hawking.
Let’s get to the business side of things, shall we?
Now, if you’re a content creator, then you should lean in and pay close attention. In the April issue, there’s a section (pages 11-14 to be exact) where I reveal something, I believe, is the formula for creating great content. I didn’t come up with this content creation formula. I stole if from Hollywood. Yup, some of Hollywood’s most successful screenwriters use this formula to increase their odds of success.
There are three parts to this formula. Two of them are pretty easy to do, however, one part is incredibly difficult to do. But even if all you did was the two easier parts, well hell, you’re still gonna be sittin’ pretty, given their potency.
Huh?
What in the tarnation?
You say you’re not a content creator?
Hmm. To be honest, I’m kinda jealous. Content creation can be a real drag sometimes. But don’t worry. There’s something for everyone in this issue. I cover… well… how about I just give you a sneak preview, huh?
A Sneak Preview of the April Issue:
*An insight into persuasion nobody told you about. I recently learned this from one of the world’s foremost peak performance coaches, and it’s one of the most powerful things you could ever learn about persuasion.
*A simple mindset “tweak” that can instantly make you more persuasive in your communications.
*The not-so-secret to sales. This is something you’ve probably heard many times before, but in my humble opinion, it truly is the secret to sales. – page 4
*The David Copperfield-inspired sales secret. – page 4
*Why everyone in business should watch the first 5-minutes of the movie Training Day. – page 5
*A no-brainer (yet hardly anyone does) sales technique that (1) will separate you from almost everyone else in your industry (2) make you appear more credible, and (3) make you more likeable. A no-brainer sales technique if I’ve ever seen one. – page 14
*An “almost-can’t-fail” content creation method for turning people into raving fans. If you want people to spread the word about you to others, this is the way to do it. Once again, this is NOT easy to do. Even I, Papa Maverick, struggle to do this. (If I do this 5 percent of the time, I’m happy. In fact, it’s so difficult, I had trouble explaining it. Well anyway, this content creation method is the content creation holy grail. – 14)
*Why I’m changing my tune about the whole “Substance over Style” philosophy. Here’s what I’ve learned… – page 15
*What the “Porsche Experiment” is, and why you should care. (This insight can go a long way in helping you make a stronger first impression with prospects.)
*5 “tried-and-true” methods for making your product or service appear irresistible to prospects without having to change a single thing about your product or service. – page 18
*How to be seen as a high-status person in social settings with high-powered people. HINT: this has nothing to do with saying the right things. Full scoop on page 6
*A ridiculously simple speaking trick (used by highly charismatic people such as Jamie Foxx, Tony Robbins, and Russell Brand) that makes what you say far more credible and persuasive. Just do this when you speak and watch how people start responding. – page 7
