  • Anti-Slip

    Anti-Slip

    Rugs can be life threatening. We’ve got two in our living room, one of them is fine, it has the coffee table on it.

    The other… it’s frickin lethal!

    You put your foot on it and it disappears half-way across the room.

    So the other day I went out and bought some Anti-Slip for rugs. It was pretty damn expensive too.

    I opened the box, and I reckon I’m lucky to have a couple of meters of it. Which considering the rugs are three meters by two meters each, isn’t particularly helpful.

    Anyhoo, on the flip side, it’s very effective.

    I would love to have an anti-slip product to give newbies to internet marketing.

    Time and again I see people slipping down the wrong path, following the wrong advice, and doing things that just make no sense.

    And I get it, hell I used to do exactly the same thing too.

    But I want to stop you from doing it.

    So here’s my internet marketing anti-slip advice…

    1) If something feels stressful stop doing it.

    2) Do not try and do everything, you don’t need to.

    3) You should concentrate on one, simple, approach.

    4) Stick with what you’re doing for at least six months, preferably a year.

    5) You won’t earn a fortune quickly if you can’t invest a lot in traffic.

    6) Choose a niche you know and love, if you’re new to internet marketing DO NOT try and teach others how to make money online. It won’t work.

    If you want a complete step-by-step bizniss plan to building a six-figure online business in the shortest time possible. Then you’re in luck. Coz that’s what Business Ignition is all about!

  • Un-excavated Mayan Tombs

    Un-excavated Mayan Tombs

    Last week I started telling the story of how I nearly killed myself in the jungle. If you missed it, you can check it out here.

    So, we’d found the village we were looking for. We’d found a guide, and we were ready to go into the jungle the next morning.

    I had one of the worst night’s sleep of my life.

    Got up in the morning, and decided to walk through the sickness.

    Mistake number one.

    The walk through the jungle was incredible, I loved every second of it. I followed closely to our guides son, an expert in jungle navigation at the mere age of 4.

    After a good trek, we walked through a bog surrounded by what I now call ‘grass of pain’.

    But more on that later!

    We found the tribal boat, slightly flooded but, with a bit of bailing out, ready to use.

    By this time I was feeling rough.

    And I don’t mean the hangover kind of rough.

    I mean the kind of rough where you feel you’ve been dragged over hot coals and had Michael Flatley tap dancing on your face.

    Rather than going downstream, I voted that we stayed on the island in the middle of the lake, made camp and then set off downstream in the morning.

    A decision that turned out to be a pretty good one.

    Now this island, it was small, very small, and there was some superstition among the tribe about it.

    You see, a number of years ago the island had been inhabited by snakes, so nobody could stay on it. Then suddenly, the snakes disappeared. Since then the tribe had used it for one night stays going or coming from their hunting grounds.

    What makes this weird?

    The snakes local to that area don’t swim.

    So, being an island, what the hell happened to them!

    To add even more suspicion to the circumstances, the island itself was an un-excavated Mayan tomb. Clambering down the back of the island, the sealed door could be seen through the undergrowth.

    To be continued…

  • Does this make me an asshole?

    Does this make me an asshole?

    Everywhere you turn these days there’s a charity.

    That’s fine, there are always people who need help, and as a society we should be doing everything we can to help them.

    But, in the UK at least, charity is big business.

    To be honest, I don’t really have a problem with that either. Although there is a vague hypocrisy when a CEO gets paid £240,000 per year, around $300,000, for a charity that says they’re desperate for more donations to do vital research.

    I wonder how much of their salary gets donated back to the charity!

    Anyhoo, that wasn’t the point of this email. The point was…

    …any charity who aggressively chases me, and tries to make me feel guilty if I don’t give them money, or don’t give the what they deem to be enough money, can go get f***ed.

    Does that make me an asshole?

    Apparently it’s now absolutely fine to harass you with phone calls, letters, emails and text messages. If we did that with our marketing, we’d be shut down faster than you could say boo to a goose.

    But because they’re charities, it’s fine.

    Of course I support charities, we all do, we support the ones that have meaning to us, the ones that we have a personal connection to.

    The others… I’ve started telling the people who hound me that I’ll donate whatever they want me to, if they personally match it and send me a proof every month that they’ve donated. Once they’ve done that I’ll happily send them a cheque.

    What happens?

    I get a… “I’m very sorry sir, I can’t do that”

    Which for me, says it all.

    If you want a way to build up your own income online, then today is the last day you can order Business Ignition.

  • I nearly died in the jungle

    I nearly died in the jungle

    It’s now been a few years since I nearly died in a jungle.

    True story. I’m not making it up.

    Here’s what happened…

    I was on the first stage of a new trip. My plan was to collect tribal histories, the histories that are dying out.

    As the western world encroaches on tribes still living in remote areas, the young people from those societies want to leave and join the west.

    The history of these societies are handed down through spoken word. The elders tell stories to the younger generations, they then pass this down to their children.

    It’s how it’s been for thousands of years.

    And having spent some time with these people, I can tell you that they are the single best storytellers I’ve ever met in my life.

    All the new-fangled analysis and sciences behind storytelling, they don’t come close to the storytelling done by the elders of these tribes.

    Why?

    Because it’s part of their culture and their life.

    There is no TV, there is no internet, there are no books. If you want to escape the world, then it has to be done through storytelling, which means you need to be damn good at it.

    But I’m getting off track…

    I’d begun the first leg of my journey with a friend called Mark.

    We were looking to meet the Lacandones, the closest surviving relations to the ancient Mayans, and from there we wanted to get to their hunting grounds.

    Why?

    Because nobody else had ever done it.

    That’s as good a reason as any right 😉

    We met at Heathrow, got on the plane to Mexico, spent some time in Mexico City, and then headed down south to the Chiapas region.

    A few days, some hitchhiking, and some walking later… we got to the village we were aiming for.

    I may have missed the part where we found their village, we found it on Google Earth, great for finding places that are isolated on the edge of jungles.

    You’re probably wondering what this story’s got to do with marketing.

    And you’re gonna have to wait until tomorrow to find out…

    Because it’s all to do with what happened when I nearly died.

    P.S. If you want to be able to have life experiences like this, and still make money while you’re doing it, then you need the ultimate online business blueprint.

    Nuff said.

  • Small Goods

    Small Goods

    That’s one way of describing a baby, not the way Holly prefers admittedly, but one that was used on some packaging for baby toys we received.

    One thing that’s happened since Max had his shunt put in, he’s begun crying, in earnest, twenty four hours a day.

    It’s a mix between a blessing, because we know that means the pressure on his brain’s been relieved, and tiredness, because we’re now not sleeping.

    Anyhoo…

    I’m super-excited, because tomorrow I’m hoping to be able to send you images of the new and updated Business Ignition.

    It freakin’ rocks!

    There’s the new, all unique 2017 Business Ignition binder, so you’ve got somewhere to store all the knowledge. It’s gonna be like having a marketing bible on your shelf!

    Then there are six modules specially wrapped and ready to put into the binder.

    Plus… the December edition of the magazine, which is a complete guide to copywriting.

    In it, I share something that I’ve never shared before. The exact system I use to write copy. This method is responsible for…

    * Making over £1,000,000 in sales

    * Generating 40,000 leads in four months

    * Creating landing pages that convert at up to 70%

    * Writing sales copy that converts at up to 24%

    Put simply, even if you’ve never written copy before, this will turn you into a pro copywriter who outperforms five and six-figure copywriters, in a few weeks.

    It’s so easy it hurts.

    Just follow the steps, and the world is your oyster.
