Last year I was driving down the hellways of California and a song came on the radio by George Thorogood called…<\/p>\n
“I Drink Alone”<\/p>\n
The song is about… why he drinks alone.<\/p>\n
And how, when he drinks alone, he prefers to be by himself.<\/p>\n
I can kinda relate.<\/p>\n
No… I don’t sit around drinking all day. But I do understand wanting to be alone and shutting the rest of the world out when taking care of business.<\/p>\n
Maybe it’s my introverted ways.<\/p>\n
Or that most people simply annoy me.<\/p>\n
Yes, I realize many can’t understand this.<\/p>\n
A lot of entrepreneurs need constant human interaction.<\/p>\n
Like going to seminars.<\/p>\n
Networking with the locals.<\/p>\n
And attending various events.<\/p>\n
Me?<\/p>\n
I AVOID such things like the zombie apocalypse plague.<\/p>\n
I always turn down speaking invitations.<\/p>\n
Have no desire to fly anywhere.<\/p>\n
And even last year, when I was invited to an event in Las Vegas to be put up in my own suite in one of the top hotels on the strip… the request was received…<\/p>\n
… processed…<\/p>\n
… and denied!<\/p>\n
This annoyed clients sometimes (when I did client work).<\/p>\n
Confuses my friends.<\/p>\n
And drives extroverts crazy.<\/p>\n
But that’s just the way I roll.<\/p>\n
I drink alone.<\/p>\n

P.S.<\/strong> That said, I will probably venture out of my “lair” soon and attend an event in 2012.<\/p>\n If I can find something in driving distance, at least.<\/p>\n We’ll see…<\/p>\n P.P.S.<\/strong> I’m not sure there was even a point to this email.<\/p>\n If you read this far, I suspect you’re either REALLY bored… or one of the 25% of the population who are introverts — 25% of the general population, but 100% of the GIFTED population.<\/p>\n Either way, I want to make it worth your while:<\/p>\n I’m giving away a free email marketing book on Kindle.<\/p>\n Check this out:<\/p>\n Before last July (2011) I used to give away (as an opt in gift) a report with 10 uber-profitable email secrets I use all the time.<\/p>\n That report has helped a LOT of people, too.<\/p>\n But, I no longer give it away.<\/p>\n Instead I now sell it on Kindle.<\/p>\n Except this week.<\/p>\n This week you can download it free on Kindle.<\/p>\n Plus, I’m giving away a free month of my “Email Players” newsletter to whoever gives the most interesting review (should you decide to leave a review for it).<\/p>\n If you’re interested, here’s the linkage:<\/p>\n
