I think I discovered a new health problem:
“Email Anorexia”
It’s just like regular anorexia — except it ain’t an eating disorder, it’s an email disorder.
Here are some symptoms:
- Scared to email frequently
- Analysis paralysis when writing
- Can’t focus for 15 minutes per day to write an email that generates sales
- Perfectionism
- Only mail when something to sell
- Afraid of people unsubscribing
There’s more.
But those are the main symptoms.
And you know what?
If you have this condition you are (intentionally or not) STARVING yourself — like an anorexic — of some serious coinage.
I know this firsthand.
I spent my first 7 years online an email anorexic.
Only mailing once in a while. Freaking out whenever someone unsubscribed. Analyzing every word and sentence of an email — afraid to send it unless it was “perfect.” Spending hours (when it should only take 15 minutes) on an email.
Luckily, email anorexia IS a curable disease.
All you have to do is take action.
Immediately!
Yes, you will stumble at times.
(So what? Happens to ALL of us…)
But the more you do it, the better you get.
Just like anything else.
If you have email anorexia, then hear ye this:
“Email Players” is the cure.
Let Doctor Settle get out his prescription pad each month and administer a booster shot of info that gets you sending regular emails… creating your own fan base of great customers… and profiting in a way that’s steady, efficient and… yes… FUN.

I won’t say it’s for everyone.
But who knows?
Could be just what the doctor ordered…
