We’re over here for a few weeks… Lynika and I… on the back end of a trip to Nashville to see the legendary marketers Dan Kennedy and John Carlton in action.

But more on that later…

Anyway… On the way to our hotel in Tijuana, Mexico... we were picked up at San Diego airport by a Spanish-speaking driver...]]></description>

I’d hate to think how the conversation went after this…

Little known computer guru Gary Kildall, could have been the richest man in the world…

You see, he was out flying his private plane when IBM executives called, asking to buy his computer operating system for their revolutionary new PC.

That day, in 1981, Gary asked his wife to take the call. When Kildall’s wife answered the phone, she refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement with IBM.]]></description>

The boys’ got game, I tell ya.

I’ll tell you why...

Firstly, she was a lovely lady.

No… not because she was happy to pour some moolah into my bank account.

Had nothing to do with it…

Just one of those deserving souls trying to crack it in this unforgiving (sometimes ruthless) Internet marketing world

There’s a good lesson here, so pull up a chair...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was interviewed last night via podcast by my good mate and blogging expert, Yaro Starak. (Recording available next week)

I gotta say... I surprised myself just how amazing, intelligent and awesome even, I sound sometimes. Anyway... He threw this question at me near the end of the call:

"Okay Bret, knowing that top copywriters, like yourself, won't take on a project under the 10K mark. And knowing that only big players can really justify spending that much.... But what about the small fish that might only have a budget of say $500 or maybe a few thousand?"

I have to say... I came up with a cracker of an answer. Problem was... it was ½ an hour AFTER the interview finished. (I hate that)]]></description>

The Blockbuster flick, “The Avengers”. Pulse-pumping adrenaline fix for the year...

Six superheroes: Captain America, Thor, Ironman, Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye

Each with individual ‘gifts’ that, once united, can obliterate any enemy...

(Except Chuck Norris, of course)

So here’s my take on how to posses each of their unique skills... to decimate your competition and be the hero in your niche...]]></description>

“Wait a minute Bret... I’m honest, trustworthy and a good person. Shouldn’t they know that?”

Wake up vanity Smurf.... you need to prove it. Here’s one (of many) ways to do this.]]></description>
