While I had achieved my goal of working for myself, I couldn&#8217;t seem to get to the next level. I was trying to run two businesses and do everything the &#8220;experts&#8221; said I HAD to do to be successful. My ever-growing task list made me feel like a failure and I was quickly approaching burnout&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>So, meeting Ben in person couldn&#8217;t have come at a better time. He made me realize I could cut out 99% of the advice being thrown at me and still grow a successful business. On top of that, I could create my business my way and make my own rules.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Using Ben&#8217;s principles to simplify and focus, I&#8217;ve been more consistent and so has &#8220;Business #1.&#8221; We doubled our email subscribers and finished the year with sales up 44%. (While spending much less on PPC and FB ad costs!)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I&#8217;m also a freelancer (that&#8217;s Business #2). Ben&#8217;s principles have taught me to stand up for myself and put my goals first. Now I have more options and feel more in control. (I&#8217;m also braver when negotiating for higher project fees.) As a result, I just deposited my biggest royalty check yet \u2014 worth more than my full-time job used to pay for an entire month! (And, that&#8217;s on top of the original projects fees I already received.)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I really can&#8217;t say enough good things about Ben&#8217;s no-nonsense approach. No matter what format \u2014 his daily emails, Email Players, or more recently his AWAI program: The 10-Minute Workday \u2014 I know I&#8217;m getting the most actionable advice without the time-wasting fluff.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Thank you, Ben, for reducing my stress, giving me more confidence, and completely turning my business around!<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In other news:<\/p>\n<p>The March \u201cEmail Players\u201d issue mails in less than a week.<\/p>\n<p>For people who get excited by the psychological side of email copywriting you\u2019ll be like a plump kid in the candy store.
