I’m on the couch as I write this, under a blanket, with my eyes closing and opening every few seconds. I’m more tired than I’ve been in years.
I picked up some kind of sickness yesterday. All night long, I was running a fever and generally feeling awful.
So I will keep today’s email short, but I wanted to send it out nonetheless.
For one thing, I know that at least a few people look forward to my emails, and write me in rare cases my emails don’t arrive on time.
For another, I am now selling a service called Daily Email Habit, so I figure I should practice what I preach.
Finally, I have an interesting article to share with you.
It’s by Sean D’Souza, an online marketer who’s been at it since before YouTube was created.
Sean runs his business in an unusual way. It’s just him and his wife Renuka. They purposely cap their annual income at $500k so they can take three month-long vacations each year, travel around without doing anything for their business during those vacation times, and see the world before returning to sheep-covered New Zealand where they live.
Sean can do this because he has an understanding of the fundamentals of persuasion and online business, on a deeper level than most other people I know of. The article I’m about to share with you is proof of that.
