The US was basically\u00a0written off as a joke and the Soviets were favored to destroy them\u00a0on the ice &#8212; especially since the average age of the US team was\u00a021-years old, and some of the Soviet players had been playing for\u00a0over 15 years.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the US&#8217;s win was dubbed a &#8220;miracle on ice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>(Hence the title.)<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s why I bring it up:<\/p>\n<p>One of the best parts of the movie is when bad ass coach Herb\u00a0Brooks (played by Kurt Russell, who delivers the line brilliantly)\u00a0says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;This cannot be a team of common men \u00a0because common men go nowhere. You have to be uncommon.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Very true, Mr. Brooks.<\/p>\n<p>And guess ye what?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">This is GOOD news for you and me<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because it sadly doesn&#8217;t take much to be uncommon.<\/p>\n<p>These days just showing up makes you uncommon.<\/p>\n<p>Even 1-2 hours per day of solid work (not being &#8220;busy&#8221;, but work)\u00a0is all and you&#8217;ll do what will look to others like you&#8217;re moving\u00a0mountains. Most people are lazy, unmotivated, and far more eager to\u00a0find new ways to get a constant facebook, twitter, or\u00a0texting-induced dopamine drip all day than accomplish something.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t believe me?<\/p>\n<p>All right, tough guy.<\/p>\n<p>Then I&#8217;m going to prove it.<\/p>\n<p>For the rest of the month do this:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">1. Spend the first HALF hour (just 30 minutes &#8212; not even an hour)\u00a0of each day writing an email designed to sell something your market\u00a0wants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">2. Send that email to your list.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">3. Watch what happens.<\/p>\n<p>Just doing that will change everything.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s that?<\/p>\n<p>You want help writing them emails?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s where &#8220;Email Players&#8221; comes in.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a print newsletter that costs $97 per month (it&#8217;s not for\u00a0price shoppers or opportunity-minded people, it&#8217;s for value\u00a0shoppers and investment-minded people). It comes with a book that\u00a0shows you how my system works. Then, each month you get advanced\u00a0training on what I&#8217;m doing in my own ventures (not just selling\u00a0&#8220;Email Players&#8221; but in other niches I work in &#8212; like the dating\u00a0niche, golf niche, prostate niche, and stuff I&#8217;m helping my\u00a0apprentice with, as well as other niches I&#8217;ve written for in the\u00a0past, like weight loss &#8212; all are aggressive, high competition\u00a0niches, not easy ones.)<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, where was I?<\/p>\n<p>Ah, yes.<\/p>\n<p>The newsletter.<\/p>\n<p>It ain&#8217;t for the casual marketer.<\/p>\n<p>And, you&#8217;re expected to work hard implementing.<\/p>\n<p>Quitters, dreamers, and sloths need not apply.<\/p>\n<p>As for everyone else leftover?<\/p>\n<p>(Roughly 3% of online marketers by my estimate)<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the link:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.EmailPlayers.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>www.EmailPlayers.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>See ya on the flip side&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Ben Settle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I re-watched one of my favorite movies: &#8220;Miracle&#8221; It&#8217;s based on a true story about the US hockey team that won the\u00a0gold medal in the 1980 Winter Olympics.
