There are many myths about online selling. Only constant and extensive testing can provide you with useful and usable information about them - that’s applicable to YOUR business.
How Much Email?
One such is the myth that emailing a list daily is bad for responsiveness. That’s a myth I have tested and found wrong for […]

In 2004, I did a 26-week mentoring program under the great marketing genius, Jay Abraham.
Over the course of 6 months, he taught me a lot of mind-expanding stuff. I put a lot of it into action. It was the time I was creating and launching a series of niche marketing products.
The lessons learned […]

I’m watching Jay Abraham’s presentation at the ‘Billion Dollar Weekend’ seminar in Beijing from earlier this year.
Of all people I’ve studied business growth and development from, the one who has made the biggest difference to me is Jay Abraham. I own many of his high priced coaching material, and every single one has made […]

I have noticed something about myself.
Yesterday, on a whim, I put together something called “My Impact Factor” Challenge. Within a few short hours, I had posted on forums, blogs, Twitter and sent out email to my list about it.

I learn a lot from my young daughter.
She asks questions that make me think - about things I’ve assumed clarity and certainty.  She offers insights that are startling, even shocking.  And yesterday, while explaining the difference between ‘empathy’ and ’sympathy’, I had a mini-Aha moment!
