Last week, I wrote an email about how you become like the people you spend all your time with. My example was, if you hang out with pessimistic losers, you\u2019ll become a pessimistic loser over time.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the esteemed A-list copywriter Bob Bly shared it on Facebook.<\/p>\n
And, I got quite a kick out of some of the comments.<\/p>\n
Like, for example:<\/p>\n
\u201cIf this were true, then people like John McCain would have become like his captors.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
(Totes!)<\/p>\n
Or\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cDoes a minister become the sinner?\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
(Happens all the time\u2026 mayhaps the minister should read what Paul wrote about kicking unrepentant sinners out of the church?)<\/p>\n
Or\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cI only hangout with my Facebook friends and I don’t think that they are \u2018pessimistic losers\u2019\u201d.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
(Defensive, much, brah?)<\/p>\n
Or\u2026 another guy nattering aimlessly about Budda.<\/p>\n
(Basically typing to hear himself write.)<\/p>\n
And, my personal favorite:<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople should realize Ben takes this extreme, controversial stance as a marketing ploy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Methinks it takes living in a mighty thick social media bubble to call this oft-repeated concept touted by multiple religions, philosophers, sociologists, psychologists, and even criminologists an \u201cextreme\u201d and \u201ccontroversial\u201d stance.<\/p>\n
Anyway, a fun time was had by all.<\/p>\n
(Well, me, anyways.)<\/p>\n
And, so it is.<\/p>\n
Speaking of extreme and controversial stances:<\/p>\n
One thing I do that sends the mush cookie marketers out into the streets weeping and gnashing their teeth is sell every single day in my emails.<\/p>\n
Why do I do this?<\/p>\n
Because it works.<\/p>\n
And, my \u201cEmail Players\u201d newsletter shows you how to write daily emails (or multiple daily emails) without straining, struggling, or looking like a worthless hack swiping and copying anyone else.<\/p>\n
It ain\u2019t rocket science.<\/p>\n
But, it requires daily work.<\/p>\n
And daily consistency.<\/p>\n
And, a daily desire to make sales.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t got those things?<\/p>\n
Then, I can\u2019t help you.<\/p>\n
Go away.<\/p>\n
Shoo.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re dismissed.<\/p>\n
