Halloween - LAST Day To Get In On This

Dear Friend,

First, someone sent us an international fax and it came through blank.  The last 4 digits are -5141, so if this is you... re-fax your form please.

Second, don't forget to pay CLOSE attention to your inbox.  Tomorrow is my 43rd Birthday (All Saint's Day -- any relation?) and I'm going to be making a 24-hour offer you want to JUMP on when you see it.

Second, since it's Halloween, I thought we'd take it easy today and I'd share a humorous story that one of the guys in my Mentoring Group -- http://www.kingofcopy.com/maverickmarketer - entrepreneur Skip Schmidt from Detroit, Michigan, was kind enough to give me a while back.  Here's that story:

An American tourist on safari in the Sahara Desert takes a wrong turn and becomes lost.  After a long morning sweltering underneath the hot sun, he spots a man riding towards him on a donkey.

"Please help me," cries the tourist "I'm dying of thirst!"

"I'm sorry" says the stranger, "...all I have are neckties."

"Neckties?" cries the tourist -- "I need WATER!"

"I like you," says the peddler, "and so here's what I'm going to do.  I normally get $15 dollars each for my neckties.  But seeing as though you're suffering so, I'll let you have two of them for only $30 bucks.  O.K.?"

The tourist turns away in disgust and walks off.  After mindlessly wandering... three hours later he sees an oasis.  By now he's on his knees though, crawling towards it.  As he nears the oasis, he looks up and sees a man in a tuxedo standing under a palm tree.  "Please," he asks. "Do you have any water?"

"Oh yes, plenty of water."

"GREAT!  Where do I get it?"

"This way sir, the restaurant is right inside."

"However, unfortunately... I can not let you in sir, without a tie."

The moral is, you just never know.  Oftentimes, what we think is a bad thing... might be a good thing.  What we think is unnecessary... might be absolutely vital.  We live simply and without complication, trusting some higher power is guiding your steps.  And if that higher power says "neckties"... then neckties it is.

Bottom line: Listen to the messages you are being sent.  If you hear the same one over-and-over again, it probably means you need to act on it.  And always think about the solutions instead of dwelling on the problems.

Here's an example of something I thought was a bad thing, but turned out to be a very good thing.  True story: Back in 1990 when I was a head-hunter (a recruiter), I lost a placement with a candidate I'd worked my ass off for.  Frustrating deal that cost me $30,000.  However...

That wasn't the reason this guy came into my life.  You see, two years later, I was selling insurance and I get a phone call from this same guy -- wants me to come out to meet the VP of his company to take over their insurance program. 

I meet with the VP, think to myself "Cool woman.  And she's pretty hot."

14 years, 3 kids, and a small army of cats and dogs later, she's still pretty hot.

You really do just never know.

Now listen, I've got to tell you something very important, and that is... today is the absolute LAST day you can get your hands on the October issue of The Seductive Selling Newsletter, AND my Audio Success CD of the month interview with Jef Nance, best-selling author of "Conquering Deception."

Here's just a small sampling of what you're missing inside this issue (besides the PAGES of live marketing samples included):

• Why you do NOT want to mess with the King! 
• How to topple over the fat-cats sitting up in the ivory tower when they start messing with you!  (You'll see EXACTLY how to do it!)
• What goes on behind the closed doors of my Mastermind meetings!
• The most critical yet least-often used marketing strategy that accounts for more sales (or more LOST sales) than anything else!  (On page 4)
• Actual PROOF why most "gurus" who take credit for all the "big" breakthroughs, are absolutely full of it!
• A Postcard mailer I wrote that pulled 200 teleseminar sign-ups (out of 2,500 mailed) by the SECOND DAY alone!
• Examples of one of the most IMPORTANT emotional buy-buttons to push!
• On page 5, a simple technique even the newest rookie can use in their marketing, to give them "instant" social credibility!
• The REAL secret weapon behind ALL my success and... the inside track to how I overcame my failures!
• I'll even share my private list of professional and personal goals with you -- and I don't hold ANYTHING back!  You'll see my successes, and... my failures!
• The cornerstone concept to making an "imprint of success" on your subconscious mind, on page 10!

And, much much more!
