Saw “The Wolverine” recently.
Enjoyed every violent minute of it, too.
Part of the plot involves Wolverine — who has the power to heal quickly, making him virtually immune to cuts, wounds, diseases or aging — losing his fast healing ability, and having to make do with his wits, intelligence and rage.
It kinda reminded me of writers block.
If you write daily (and you should) sometimes you go… blank.
You lose your “powers.”
And, it can be extremely frustrating.
The solution?
Like Wolverine — you keep pushing through anyway.
You keep moving forward.
And, you keep writing.
(Even if what you write sucks.)
Most people do the opposite:
They quit.
Avoid even a little resistance.
And, thus, only mail once per week or once per month (or when they have “something to say”, which amuses me, because anyone who positions themselves as an expert should have something — anything — to say each day about that subject…)
More:
It’s why my “Email Players” members and I have no competition.
You could say we profit from so-called “writers block.”
Instead of quitting, we keep playing the game.
Keep pushing.
And, keep winning.
In the end, that’s what it boils down to:
Are you playing to win or playing not to lose?
Loser play not to lose.
Winners play to win.
If you want to play to win, check out “Email Players”.
It’s a monthly print newsletter.
It comes with a book outlining my system.
And, it gives you ongoing advanced email tips, techniques, motivation and examples to model (not copy, but model) so you can glide through writing daily emails without battling writers block, low sales or self doubt when the going gets a little rough.
No, it ain’t cheap.
Nor is it for short term thinkers.
(Most IM’ers are short term, not long term, thinkers.)
And, it’s designed so you can easily recoup your monthly investment simply by implementing the info. (If you have an offer people want and mail regularly, then even if you have a small list, multiplying back your $3.23 per day investment should be child’s play.)
Next issue goes to the printer soon.
