Watched a kick assimus movie recently...
"Miracle"
It's about the great Olympic hockey coach Herb Brooks, and how he
took the US hockey team to a gold medal in 1980 Winter Olympics --
kicking the Soviet commies' asses who were heavily favored to win.
(Called "a Miracle on Ice" -- thus the name of the movie.)
Anyway, one scene sticks out like a fart in study hall.
A scene that sums up success in anything:
* Sports
* Business
* Marketing
* Finding a job
* Learning news skillz
* And anything else you wanna excel at
It's when the team is slacking during a game.
(Looking at chicks, etc)
And this pisses ol' Herb off something wicked. So after the game he
makes 'em line up on the ice and do these intense drills which are
so hard, the guys are literally puking on the ice from exhaustion.
And, he KEEPS making them do them.
Over and over and over...
Even though they're puking.
Even though it's so late the building is closing down.
And, yes, even though they're ready to pass out.
Again and again and again...
(Today the mush cookie liberals'd press charges against him for
"abuse" or some nonsense.)
Anyway, here's the point:
When teaching the drill, Herb tells them:
"Get used to this drill. You'll be doing it *a lot*. Why? Because
the legs feed the wolf, gentlemen. I can't promise you we'll be the
best team at Lake Placid next February. But we will be the best
conditioned. That I can promise you."
Awesome stuff.
It's ALL about conditioning in sports.
Ask anyone who's done it.
Football, wrestling, track, etc.
The best conditioned guy almost always beats out the best "trained"
guy. And this, my flabby friend, is the attitude to have if you
want to win at email marketing.
It's ALL about conditioning.
You don't have to be the best writer.
You just have to be the best conditioned.
Lord knows my emails are riddled with typos.
Plagued with run-on sentences.
And, contain a complete lack of "flair."
But I'm easily one of the best **conditioned** email copywriters on
the planet making my wins FAR outweigh my losses.
And I got that way by... writing!
Often times multiple emails per day.
(In addition to sales letters, articles, my newsletter, etc).
And, by applying what I learn (from experience or studying what
others' are doing) and letting all that accumulated knowledge and
experience *compound* on itself over time until, today, I belt out
emails and ads in a fraction of the time it takes everyone else.
It's all from plain old "retro" hard work.
Persistence.
And, yes, a pursuit of excellence.
Those things (freely available to anyone) are 90% of the battle.
Apply them and you WILL bag more of the green stuff.
Again, those things are 90% of the battle.
However, to win the WAR you need the skillz, strategies and tactics.
That's where "Email Players" comes in.
Each month I show you what I'm doing to write emails that make lots
of sales. I also hand you the same strategies I use to stay ahead
of any so-called competition. And, I give you that swift "Herb
Brooks" kick in the bootay you need to APPLY what you learn, and
not just let it sit on a shelf so you can go chase after the next
BSO (bright shiny object).
Hey, most people never apply anything.
Which means if YOU do, you have an instant advantage.
Bottom line?
If you're tired of diddling around trying to grow your business on
social media or wasting cash on BSO's... then give "Email Players"
a look-see.
Yeah, it's expensive.
So price shoppers get thee behind me.
Only "for real" entrepreneurs allowed.
