Here are some intimate facts about my personal life right now:
I have two friends visiting and staying with me. Two nights ago, the three of us went out to dinner. The food wasn’t great. But it sure was toxic.
At least that’s how I explain the sudden onset of nausea and high fever that hit me a few hours later, when I got home and went to bed.
Each time I turned between the sheets, I thought I might throw up. I also burned feverishly throughout the night, and got almost no sleep.
I spent most of the following day on the couch, taking cat naps, only eating paracetamols to bring my body temperature back into normalish range.
Maybe you say this doesn’t sound like a typical case of food poisoning.
Maybe you are right.
But what still makes me suspect the dinner was that within another 24 hours, I was completely fine.
No more fever. No more frightened stomach. Nothing except a little lingering tiredness.
In fact, I was so fully fine that by the end of that second day I considered going to the gym.
Sure, I wasn’t thrilled at the idea. I hardly ever am. But I felt guilty at already missing a day.
“I will do it,” I said to one of my friends, who was sitting on the couch next to me. “I will go to the gym.”
This friend, a dominant Turkish girl, looked at me crossly.
“What! Don’t go to the gym. Your body needs to recover. Besides, you didn’t really eat anything for the past 24 hours. You need fuel if you will go to the gym!”
I smiled and nodded at how right she is. I concluded that I should follow her wise advice and skip the gym. Which was convenient, because it’s what I wanted to do all along.
You might see how this story lends itself to persuasion and influence. As Dan Kennedy likes to say, “There is power in issuing permission slips.”
Speaking of which:
I found that bit of “persuasion slip” wisdom on the bottom of page 47 of a huge 270-page document called,
“Dan Kennedy’s Million Dollar Resource & Sample Book”
I don’t know how much Dan originally sold this “Million-Dollar Sample Book” for. But I do know that it’s available for free as a bonus to Brian Kurtz’s very affordable book Overdeliver.
But in case you are quickly backing away from me right now, let me reassure you:
You might legitimately feel that buying Brian’s Overdeliver, and getting access to a few metric tons of high-quality marketing advice in the form of bonuses, has both its good and bad sides.
The good side is that it’s clearly an attractive offer. Brian’s book costs something like $12. And the bonuses that Brian gives away have sold for tens of thousands of dollars.
That’s the good side. The bad side is that:
Almost certainly, you already have a mountain of good marketing advice sitting on your laptop right now, unconsumed, unloved, and unimplemented.
If that bothers you, I can telly you that I have the same. I have a ton of marketing content I have paid for but still haven’t done anything with.
Even so, I still encourage you to check out Brian’s Overdeliver collection.
In part, that’s because it is such a valuable hangarful of information. And because it is such an incredible deal.
And also, because I will make it easy for you to get value out of Brian’s offer. Here’s the deal:
1. Get Overdeliver
2. Get the bonuses using the form on Brian’s page below
3. Open up the Dan Kennedy Sample Book and go to page 47, where it says “There is power in issuing permission slips”
4. Send me an email, with the sentence immediately preceding that “permission slips” sentence
I will then tell you the most valuable and interesting thing I have personally learned out of that entire 270-page sample book, and possibly out of entire Overdeliver collection. Because I have gone through the entire massive collection, each part of it, and I have taken notes.
So here’s the link to get started. Go ahead. It’s okay:
