How elBenbo is prepping for the Coronavirus
Published: Mon, 03/09/20
I will admit, there are people much more up to snuff on this than Your Pal.
And it may very well get really nasty before it gets better for all I know.
But what I can say is, since the virus was first being monitored by WHO (12/31/19?), and people started panicking, and have been spending all day talking about it, writing about it, freaking out about it, etc… Yours Crotchety has...
* Knocked out some combined 250+ emails (for a SaaS launch next month, plus my own offers)
* Created around a dozen hours of advanced marketing & business-building content (with more on the way) with my business partner in SaaS crime Troy Broussard
* Consumed & applied lessons from multiple biographies of great people — including one I consider to be the single best business book I’ve ever read, anywhere, period (incidentally, I will be revealing more about this book in the April “Email Players” elBenbo’s Lair insert next month)
* Walked well over 200 miles, according to my Endomondo app
* Am elbow-deep into writing my latest — and perhaps last, for a while, or forever if the virus scrags me… — book:
“elBenbo Press”
I don’t know when exactly it will launch this year.
But the book details every jot & tittle of my entire book & newsletter publishing business model — from Aardwolf-Zygote.
It’s also very likely going to cost over $1,000, which will rattle the jealous fake LOL'ing who can't even sell a $10 eBook. But, all founding “Email Players” subscribers (i.e., those who subscribed when it launched in July 2011 and have kept going this whole time, true champions of industry as far as I am concerned…) will be getting it for free when published. Everyone else subscribed to “Email Players” at the time it launches — whenever that is, and there will be no warning beforehand much to the chagrin of the new product junkies — will of course get it at a sweet discount.
Anyway now that I am done mindlessly bragging, let's get back to the Coronavirus:
It reminds me of a line in one of my all-time favorite movies “Young Guns 2” about finishing the game with the end of the world being nigh.
The context of the scene is this:
Billy the Kid tells a story to his friend Doc who is losing heart with the law and the New Mexico government after them all wanting to hang them, just hours away from catching them:
“You remember the stories John used to tell us about the three Chinamen playing Fantan? This guys runs up to them and says, ‘Hey, the world’s coming to an end!’ And the first one says, ‘Well, I best go to the mission and pray,’ and the second one says, ‘Well, hell, I’m gonna go and buy me a case of Mezcal and six whores,’ and the third one says, ‘Well, I’m gonna finish the game.’ I shall finish the game, Doc. I shall finish the game.”
I suggest you use your health while you have it to finish the game, too, Chuckles.
Peel yourself off social media.
Double down on working on your business, while making sure your house is in order..
And, use this opportunity to gain market share.
When the vapors from all the hacking & sneezing settle, you may just be ahead.
All right, enough of this.
Let’s move on to the fun stuff:
I have a ton of free & valuable content on my mobile app, patiently waiting for those interested in having it. If you want it, get your username & password, and instructions to download it here:
