Dear subscriber,
I was eavesdropping on two middle-aged guys the other day.
They were gabbing about drug use.
“There’s NEVER a good time to start taking heroin.”, said one of the guys.
At first blush, I agreed with that statement. But then I thought about it some more. I came to this conclusion:
I believe there IS a good time to start taking heroin.
I know that sounds ridiculous, but just hear me out, okay?
Imagine this:
You’re pushing 90, you live alone and you’re completely bedridden. You’ve watched every episode of Matlock three times, you suspect your cat is plotting to kill you, and the only human contact you get is when your jaded caregiver comes over to administer your weekly rectal suppository.
I mean, at that point, what have you got to lose?
You might as well enjoy your last days with some “brown sugar” before the Grim Reaper comes a-knockin.
Well anyway, that’s my cockamamie opinion on the matter.
Hey, speaking of a good time to start something, consider this:
If you suspect that people don’t buy into your ideas, or worse, they just tune you out like a bad infomercial, if you feel that your sales messages aren’t as compelling as they could be, or if your content is lacking engagement, then now would be a good time to start receiving my premium content.
Here’s why:
The April issue has a big focus on persuasion and influence. It covers everything from persuading in print to persuading in a boardroom or at a party.
For those who are interested, here’s a quick look inside the April issue:
*The secret to getting your way in almost any social (and sometimes business) interaction you ever have. I realize this sounds like hyperbole. Trust me, it ain’t. This works so well, so reliably, and so predictably, it can sometimes work even if you have less status or influence than the people you’re interacting with. (This is how some employees can effortlessly influence their boss, and how some people seem to win every argument they have. It’s because they’re doing what’s revealed on pages 1-4 either consciously or subconsciously.)
*A simple mindset “tweak” that can instantly make you more persuasive in your communications.
*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 changing your product or service a single bit. – page 18
*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
What the PUA (Pick Up Artist) community gets right… and… what they get VERY wrong. (This one’s not really business related, but hey… consider this one a bonus. If you’re a single guy, you can thank me later. – page 1)
*An eye-opening look into persuasion, and… how it really works.
*The one persuasion technique that trumps them all. (If you truly understand, and correctly apply this, you could do away with every other persuasion technique, tactic, and trick there is, and still be far more persuasive than most people. – page 3)
*Why the world’s most persuasive people DON’T try and get people to believe what they say, and… what they do instead. This is very nuanced, but it’s tremendously powerful. – page 3
*A “quick and dirty” guide for creating highly entertaining content that people can’t help but consume. – page 12
The deadline is just around the corner, so don’t be a procrastinator like that guy who’s been meaning to clean his garage since 1997.
If you’d like this issue, take action!
