Recession advice from a salty old business tycoon
Published: Sun, 04/05/20
The guy who created the program was a delightfully salty fellow named Art Hamel.
A lot of people don’t know who he was.
But, he was called the “Dean Of Business” back in the 80’s (on infomercials, etc), and he bought over 200 business over 40 years — starting with a small 25 unit motel in California that was barely profitable and took all his time, energy, and money, and was extremely stressful. It wasn’t long after that when he stopped Mickey Mousing around and being chintzy (as he would have put it) with small time businesses, and transitioned into buying only multi-million dollar business that gave him zero stress, and that took none of his time, energy, or money.
After that, he started showing other people how to do the same.
(Via his home study course and seminars)
Eventually, he had tens of thousands of students worldwide.
Then, he sort of drifted off into obscurity.
One day he was so well known people recognized him at airports.
The next, nobody had any idea who he was.
That is, until Michael Senoff saw his course being sold on eBay back in 2004, JV’d with me to write the ad for it, and we helped put him back on at least a few maps at the time in the US, the UK, and Australia.
Anyway, naturally I had to go through this course.
And while there’s a ton of great info in it there’s one thing that stands out most today.
And that is when he said:
"During recessions, stay the hell away from the news."
Why did he teach this?
Because the news is, by its nature, negative.
It is based on the saying, "if it bleeds, it leads."
And when you are in business, you’re best served by focusing on yourself and your business more than ever (especially during hard times) — and not getting distracted by all the chaos and angst and information manipulation designed to keep you in flight or fight mode, always reacting, and not being strong and proactive.
Very simple tip.
Very powerful, too.
Everyone I know who abstains from the news reports sleeping better, having more energy & stamina, and being more optimistic, more productive, and making more scratch just by the freed up time and mental bandwidth alone.
Immoral of the story?
Stop giving the best of your time, your attention, and yourself to the news media.
That is, unless you want to be manipulated & treated like a puppet.
My (biased) opinion:
A much better use of your time, especially right now when rent is due, etc, and there is a swath of time where you can potentially gain massive marketshare if you work smart would be to check out Michael Senoff’s “Emergency Fast Cash” audios for a gigantic discount with my affiliate link below.
After that, listen to the audios right away.
Then, pick just ONE of the 39 to focus on if nothing else, run with it hard, and if possible work it into your current business operations, email strategy, etc. Michael is the master at sneaky ways of making cash. In fact, I don’t know of anyone who is better at whipping up cash practically on demand — during good or bad times — than he is.
I’ve worked with him for 16 years and he’s brilliant at it.
And while he normally lists this program for $597, he will sell them for just $47 to my Horde via my affiliate link below, if you do it by today, Sunday, April 5 at midnight PDT.
Plus, there’s this, too:
If you buy from my affiliate link below by today’s deadline, you not only get the $597 “Emergency Fast Cash Now” series for a mere $47… but you will also get:
“The Stefania Files: Volume 4”
This is the latest round of 10 private videos I recorded for my woman Stefania's (and sometimes her clients') marketing education. They add up to over two hours of pure content. And they are, in their own way, some of the most valuable trainings I've ever done.
Like, for example:
* How to use troll attacks to increase your open rates, clicks, and email engagement.
* Why a so-called “donkey balls” opt-in page I am testing gets the best and most profitable response.
* The micro lesson I would have taught the audience at Funnel Hacking Live if I’d spoken there when I was invited to last year.
* A 26-minute “crash course” on how almost anyone using email — newb or guru — can get maximum deliverability & engagement. (I was hopped up on the pre-workout in the car when I recorded this puppy — and in some ways, this is the single most valuable “email” lesson I can possibly teach anyone.)
* How to “resurrect” an email list you haven’t mailed in months and they don’t even remember who you are.
* The exact best time to start selling a subscription based offer if you’re a newbie.
* The secret Isaac Asimov technique used by the single most prolific author & copywriter on the planet to get superhuman amounts of work done and enjoy every minute of it.
* A chest-pounding lesson on how to turn a mere idea into a launched product that is making you sales within 30 days.
* Why it’s borderline insane to listen to an email broadcasting/autoresponder company’s advice on how to make sales with email. (HINT: nothing sinister going on with any of them, but your motivation & agenda are NOT the same as theirs.)
* Outrageously simple “what the hell?” ways to extinguish the evil, insidious mental disease known as “burnout” — so you can keep working and making sales over long periods of time while enjoying every minute of it.
* The clever secret to getting life-long customers who never want to leave you or forsake you.
* The un-sexy, “meat & potatoes” marketing secret to getting your spam complaints down to almost zero even if you send dozens of emails in a tight time frame.
* Why you should probably avoid any guru who plasters his Facebook page with pics of him wearing a name tag while haunting internet marketing seminars and conferences.
* The dirty little secret about selling to the low hanging fruit in your market that will keep you frustrated and struggling.
* 4 things I learned from the founding father of online advertising anyone can do to build a strong, thriving business with ZERO special skills, intelligence, creativity, money, having to buy a bunch of info products or coaching required
* An infamous MD’s “pre selling” secret to being the only business people buy from even if you aren’t the best marketer, copywriter, or salesman. (Admittedly this is a time intensive idea you’ll have to apply to your business, marketing, and branding — but it can potentially change everything very quickly for those who use it.)
* What extroverts can do to get a lot more work done.
* What introverts can do to get a lot more work done.
* The old dead copywriter secret to creating your own inner copywriting editor.
* A real life 7-minute “power lesson” about how to, strategize, and profit like gangbusters from affiliate campaigns.
* The one thing you must include in your emails if you want to “get away” with sending blatant sales pitches.
* The dumb thing people do on Facebook that they think “works” but is really just destroying their sales & slowing down their business-building.
* The only copywriting “technique” you’ll ever need — handed to you freely on a silver platter.
