We're all traveling this journey in a minor arm of the Orion Spur on the outer fringe of the Milky Way Galaxy at combined orbital speeds of around 600 kilometers a second. Let's make it a joyful ride!
No victory is worth celebrating if it is at the expense of your fellow man. There's no glory in taking advantage of people's ignorance, stupidity or even their greed to make a buck.
Style of Business
I grew up in my parents' retail stores, and there was NEVER a rainy Tuesday afternoon when we'd scheme how to "moneysuck" customers, how to trap them with looping "buy-this" back-end offers, or how much money we "left on the table". Why is THAT style of business now pushed by the so-called internet marketing gurus ... then to be emulated by the young kids? Look, if you want to follow somebody pick Jeff of Amazon, he started on two doors as desks from Home Depot and did $19 billion last year.
Life is supposed to be wonderful, dive right in ... skinny dip in the gene pool. And NEVER, ever, ever become a fearful WOPTOY prisoner in your own head (What Other People Think Of You) Seriously, they're all too busy picking their own navel lint to pay attention to you.
Like Adam said to Eve: "Stand back, God only knows how big this thing's gonna get".
By 2010, there will be 2 billion internet users in the Global Village -- a market size like never before in the history of mankind. No need to "crush" your competitors, mathematically, there are no competitors. The market is THAT big. If it takes you 100 days to count to million, it will take you 323 years to count to billion. 2 billion internet users out there by 2010. Each buying tens maybe hundreds of products. Do the math.
Our business model is simple: We enter into joint venture marketing arrangements with fellow inventors, creators of intellectual property, manufacturers, professionals, artists, designers, importers, exporters, and distributors. We bring in our internet sales and marketing skills and you bring in your know-how.
Working Together
We'd love to team up with you to create these mini workshops (or a series of mini workshops) (FatLoss4Idiots did $21 million in one year). What useful-fun-practical thing do you know that could be taught to people out there in an internet movie, flipbook, DVD, internet course, even online lessons ...?
As a father of four, I've come to realize that kids these days don't know much about practical stuff. Just the other day one of them asks, "Dad, how do I make moonshine, and how do you get your pot to grow so tall and green?" Nooo, just kidding. But seriously, there are so many skills, lessons, mini-courses we could teach our young ones ... around the world. That's why we are ...
... crazily experimenting with a new teaching format: the power-packed, flash-frozen, energy-compressed 7-Minute Workshops that capture the essence of almost any topic in super-dense 7 minutes.
"Time flies like an arrow and fruit flies like a banana" (Groucho Marx).
You see, people don't have time, too many things to do ... and some books are soooo redundant with same stuff told four, five times just to make fluff pages for the publisher ... it's all a huge waste paper and people's time.
Really, think about it. Much like a cartoon captures only the salient bits of info by removing all redundancy. Same as video codecs' compression algos -- non-changing pixels aren't factored into the inter-frame information. We're trying to capture the Gestalt or the 'canonical' information of training. It's crazy enough. It just might work. Like hypnosis.
