Letter To The New Info-Product Creator
The hardest thing to do, business-wise, is to overcome your own inertia and rouse the mind from it’s slumber.
Especially if you’re new to the game.
Even moreso if you’re working for yourself.
[in my best Rod Serling] ‘Case in point . . . witness one new info-product guy with dollar signs in the eyes, the dream of working for himself in his heart . . . but tragically struggles with his own doubt and uncertainty.
Years of slavishly working for others has dulled his fire and diminished his sense of possibilities to the week-to-week paycheck he gets for all his hard work.’
Okay . . . kill the Twilight Zone music, you get the idea.
So I got this email the other day from a newbie who has a GREAT product idea in a niche market that is HUGELY ripe and just waiting to be plucked.
Back in November 2007, this guy was new to the world of online business and it all began innocently enough with him suddenly asking me, “Hey, how can I do what you do (meaning work from a home office)?”
And because his expertise was such a rich field of possibility,

What the heck is it? It’s a full-bodied contact manager, list manager, autoresponder, fax responder and oh yes . . . it totally manages your online AND offline campaigns.
Did I mention it was a completely integrated package? Kiss goodbye having one spreadsheet for some data, a separate autoresponder service to automatically contact customers and prospects, a word processor to craft the sales message you want to put in front of them, plus another spreadsheet to keep track of where you are in each campaign.
If you manage your business that way then you know

SF Legend Clarke Has "Rendezvous With Rama"
Arthur C. Clarke, the greatest speculative fiction (sci-fi for the rest of you) author ever, had his
“Rendezvous With Rama” yesterday as he passed through the monolith and into the Great Beyond.
At press time, Dr. Clark’s estate could not be reached to confirm his last words were: “My God! It’s full of stars!”
Okay, I made that last bit up. The rest is true, however.
Author, inventor (of the geostationary communications satellite), and futurist, he was most famous for his novel “2001: A Space Odyssey.”

Thin-Skinned Vegans Are Stalking Me!
Yes, it’s Day Of The Triffids all over again as marauding plants attack humans (in this case your humble blogger) with

For weeks now, I’ve been seeing a HUGE spike in traffic hitting my post that raised the question of vegan food choices being hypocritical and I’ve been wondering what was going on?
Now I know. The vegan Triffids were launching a counter-assault.
The latest is from Fabian who also elected to take exception to me raising the question of hypocrisy, vis-a-vis the vegan lifestyle.
Apparently, the folks writing these rebuttals never heard of a thought-experiment. And geez, who knew vegans were so thin-skinned?
Here’s a link to the original post so the intrepid among you can go there and see if you can pinpoint exactly where I called anyone a hypocrite.
If you find it, let me know and I’ll publicly give you
