Last week I re-watched one of my favorite movies:
“Miracle”
It’s based on a true story about the US hockey team that won the gold medal in the 1980 Winter Olympics. The US was basically written off as a joke and the Soviets were favored to destroy them on the ice — especially since the average age of the US team was 21-years old, and some of the Soviet players had been playing for over 15 years.
Thus, the US’s win was dubbed a “miracle on ice.”
(Hence the title.)
Anyway, here’s why I bring it up:
One of the best parts of the movie is when bad ass coach Herb Brooks (played by Kurt Russell, who delivers the line brilliantly) says:
“This cannot be a team of common men because common men go nowhere. You have to be uncommon.”
Very true, Mr. Brooks.
And guess ye what?
This is GOOD news for you and me.
Why?
Because it sadly doesn’t take much to be uncommon.
These days just showing up makes you uncommon.
Even 1-2 hours per day of solid work (not being “busy”, but work) is all and you’ll do what will look to others like you’re moving mountains. Most people are lazy, unmotivated, and far more eager to find new ways to get a constant facebook, twitter, or texting-induced dopamine drip all day than accomplish something.
Don’t believe me?
All right, tough guy.
Then I’m going to prove it.
For the rest of the month do this:
1. Spend the first HALF hour (just 30 minutes — not even an hour) of each day writing an email designed to sell something your market wants.
2. Send that email to your list.
3. Watch what happens.
Just doing that will change everything.
What’s that?
You want help writing them emails?
That’s where “Email Players” comes in.
It’s a print newsletter that costs $97 per month (it’s not for price shoppers or opportunity-minded people, it’s for value shoppers and investment-minded people). It comes with a book that shows you how my system works. Then, each month you get advanced training on what I’m doing in my own ventures (not just selling “Email Players” but in other niches I work in — like the dating niche, golf niche, prostate niche, and stuff I’m helping my apprentice with, as well as other niches I’ve written for in the past, like weight loss — all are aggressive, high competition niches, not easy ones.)
Anyway, where was I?
Ah, yes.
The newsletter.
It ain’t for the casual marketer.
And, you’re expected to work hard implementing.
Quitters, dreamers, and sloths need not apply.
As for everyone else leftover?
(Roughly 3% of online marketers by my estimate)
