In short, I was financially secure. Now I am much less so." Thank you for inspiring me to hunt it down Ben. Re-reading it has pounded the lesson you wrote about even deeper.

It’s September 2002, back page, continued on Page 7.

He’s uses the financial set back of his divorce to help make this point. In his words…
“As you might imagine, in addition to the traumatic change in my personal life, future, emotional well-being, the divorce has dramatically and substantially altered my financial position. In short, I was financially secure. Now I am much less so.”

Thank you for inspiring me to hunt it down Ben. Re-reading it has pounded the lesson you wrote about even deeper.

Talk to you soon,

For anyone interested, Kennedy put together what he called "The Ultimate Collection of No B.S. Marketing Letters". These are all the newsletters in one place going all the way back to 1999 to 2004. I have Volume 1 of 2 and Volume 2 of 2. I've had them for a while and I don't remember if they sell em on his site but if you're a fan of the newsletter this product does exist and is well, well worth the investment. Especially if you're looking for a newsletter to model so you can build a high powered client/customer attractor for yourself. You just need to look past the entertainment and marketing tips value and ask yourself... "Why has he been using this segment for years?"... "Why did he stop doing this?... "How does the structure of the letter feed his ascension model?" and on and on. You get the picture. Coming to the topic of your post I thought about this quote and I thought you'd like it. "When I am through learning, I am through." Hall of Fame UCLA Basketball Coach, John Wooden.

Especially if you’re looking for a newsletter to model so you can build a high powered client/customer attractor for yourself. You just need to look past the entertainment and marketing tips value and ask yourself…

“Why has he been using this segment for years?”…

“Why did he stop doing this?…

“How does the structure of the letter feed his ascension model?” and on and on.

You get the picture.

Coming to the topic of your post I thought about this quote and I thought you’d like it.

“When I am through learning, I am through.”

Talk to you soon Ben,

Feels like an explosion going off inside of me. But DK's wisdom will have to wait, until I have the new "Copywriting Grab Bag" in my hands. Until then, I will settle for the continuous reading of your blog and studying everything I have thus far. There's only so time and much moola to go around.
