MARCH 2009 Greetings & Salutations: My daddy used to say ... "You can only see another man through your own eyes. Whatever you think he might do to you is exactly what you would do to him if you were in his place." Over the past 50-odd years in business, I have learned the absolute truth in my Daddy's saying. -- My customers have given me step-by-step, point-by-point instructions on exactly how I could cheat them. After spending months (sometimes years) devising a plan, idea or concept for making, saving or investing money for my customers (about 400,000 of them all together world wide), I finally implement the program and begin getting it into the hands of my customer base. Then, it usually takes about 10 days before the orders and letters begin flowing in. Inevitably, in those letters, there will be 3 or more that begin, "I'm not going to order your plan because you could steal my money by....." Then, they proceed to tell me exactly how I could cheat them. -- Some of their plans are so complex and well thought out I really wonder where they find the time to do anything legal and constructive. I sure wouldn't want to do business with them if I was on the buying side. If they think I would cheat them -- and tell me exactly how I could do it -- it is a foregone conclusion that that is exactly what they would do if they were in my position. Since they cannot read my thoughts, they must rely solely upon their own mental processes for any conclusions they may draw. Therefore, what they conclude that I could do would be the result of their own scheming, conniving little minds. You cannot get behind another person's eyes; see what they are seeing, think what they are thinking, or know what they know. You can only see what you are seeing, think what you are thinking, and know what you know. Therefore, whatever you think that other person could do is what you would do, because it is your thought processes that have created the scenario. After these many years, I have come to the realization that my Daddy's truism was really nothing more than an example of a much older truism -- "Judge not, lest ye be judged." The meaning comes out the same. When you judge others, you reveal to the world your own thoughts and mental processes. Now that you know where judgmental opinions come from why not have some real fun with it. The next time you read an article about what someone could have done; or hear someone explaining what the President meant when he said something; or a governmental investigating committee asks an accusing question, remember the "thought" process originated in the mind of the writer or speaker. -- You'll know more about that writer or speaker than they ever wanted you to know. THINK ABOUT IT!!

Victor Gromack wanted to know ... "I have read your Finder's Fee course and called my local library to find trade magazines. With limited space and funds, they don't carry any. I have looked on the Internet and I am having trouble figuring out how to search for them? Victor ... ASK the librarian for a Directory of Periodical Publications. Check the categories in the directory for the trade/industry you want to reach. Telephone those publications and ASK to speak to the Advertising Department. Tell them you are interested in advertising in the publication and ASK for a "media kit." The "media kit" will include all of their advertising prices and an issue (or 2) ot the publication ... sometimes they will even add you to their "comp" circulation.

Thoughts For The Month! "No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals." -- Brian Tracy "For God's sake give me the young man who has brains enough to make a fool of himself." -- Robert L Stevenson

Can you stump the old master? -- Betcha can't! Over the past 50 years (man and boy), I have made bundles of money in direct selling, service contracting, wholesale merchandising, entertainment (I was a professional Trumpet player, vocalist & Radio Announcer), freight forwarding, import/export, retail merchandising, warehousing, real estate, electronics manufacturing, finder's fees, closeout merchandising, financial brokerage, business consulting, steel fabrication, gold and coal mining, offshore banking, mailorder, writing, and publishing. -- That being the case ... No matter what business you're in ... whether you're just starting, well on your way, or at the top of the heap ... I've probably been where you are, done what you are doing. -- So ... Anytime you have a question about 'how' to do something in your business - or - if you have any comments about anything I've said in issues of this e-Letter; or if you want to add your 2 cents worth ... just "ask" me or "tell" me. Send your Questions, Comments or 2 Cents Worth to ... with "Question" - "Comment" - or, "2 Cents Worth" in the SUBJECT. If I, personally, don't have an answer to any question you may ask, I will contact some of the professionals in your field of endeavor (I will probably know one or more personally) to get the real 'skinny' for you. Note: If you want to ask a question anonymously just tell me so when you send in the question. -- Nobody but you and I will know who asked the question.
