in Why You Don’t Need Testimonials on Copywriting Grab Bag
Hey Ben...
Nice post and perfect timing. I have just committed to using press releases as one of the three traffic generation methods.
This post could not have come at a better time and I am excited about the audio... as all your interviews are great.
Thanks from a fellow copywriter and business owner.

in Why Bigger Goals = Less Competition (Plus: Major Media Opp) on The Blog of Author Tim Ferriss
Hello Tim,
I am 26, single, with zero children. I have been dating the same girl for 3.5 years and one of my business goals is to marry her and pay for everything with cash... besides the point though.
My story regarding retirement, feeling pessimistic, and then making a comeback. Being young, I plan to never retire until I have Alzheimer's... it runs in the family. I started my journey in real estate flipping houses and purchasing rentals.
The market crashed... my portfolio crashed. I learned a valuable real estate lesson... offer so low that you feel uncomfortable with the offer. Also if a tenant is on drugs don't be afraid to confront and kick their #$% out!
Finally I am able to breathe, a little, as I have improved my rentals and I am charging enough rent to pay the business bills. So started the internet business from I am sad to say MLM... but I did discover starting an internet business.
And this started my next failure at business. I built a small business to help those in debt learn about debt and build a plan to get out. Tough market and my mind being pulled in all the different directions on how to market make this a complete failure... but I did learn valuable lessons in really choosing a passion.
You have to choose a passion if you are to make it through the hard times. I have been a personal trainer and into weight lifting since I was 10... my older brother was a big lifter for swimming and he got me into it. So I said to myself... "Hey you love fitness and you have been doing it forever... make that your internet business." And the start of The Art of Weight Lifting.
This has not launched just yet... waiting on my sales letter, but the foundation is solid and the passion is there... the value is also there in spades.
So while I hope to get many hundreds of members within the coming months and I will leave my corporate job... which kills me... I hope to say that I will have retired.
Retired being I now do what I want for passions sake... I can start more businesses and all of that good stuff.
Thanks and excited to see which of all these cool stories gets chosen.

in How to Get Six Pack Abs on Marc David's Uncensored Bodybuilding and Fitness
Marc,
You are definitely right that nutrition is the key and nutrition is the key for most everything in weight training and bodybuilding.
Ab workouts are still incredibly important though because you can have your fat off the abdomen and no real abs showing because your muscles are to small. So really the combination is the key to great abs.

in The Choice-Minimal Lifestyle: 6 Formulas for More Output and Less Overwhelm on The Blog of Author Tim Ferriss
Tim,
This made me think about publicizing my blog and trying to increase exposure and traffic. There are so many different ways to do this, you practically freak out because you think to yourself... "What if I choose this method and then the method I could have chosen would have been much more effective."
So many options and so much to think about... I found out just do something and get moving. As I get moving I begin to add methods and soon I suspect that I will do them all... or the ones that produce the results... 80/20 right?

in The Weekend Retirement Test Drive: Groundhog Day and the Rest of Your Life (Plus: Competition) on The Blog of Author Tim Ferriss
Tim... always intriguing posts. And I know what you would say to me about what I am about to say.
I am busy building a business to help me get out of my 9-5 prison. I tend to be like you when you started with BrainQuicken... always working.
That has to be the hardest part when you are starting because my weekends tend to be spent learning ways to increase internet traffic... getting my readers to participate in discussions, etc...
Well maybe more fun will free up the brain cells for creative ideas!
That Audi by the way is kick ass!
