Recently I read an article by marketer Clayton Makepeace on the topic of “Secrets”.
It immediately pulled me in and by the end of the article my mind was racing with new ideas for upcoming promotions and campaigns.
With permission, I’m sharing the article verbatim below.
Enjoy…

Recently, I decided to reread a letter than one of my best friends wrote to a small group of us.
To give you a little background on the story, he unfortunately had experienced some “life challenges” and soon discovered that many things in his life were out of whack.
He found himself buried in his business and was constantly squeezed for time.
There was no time for sports (which he loves).
No time for friends (which he values).
… and no time for loved ones (which he cherishes).
Can you relate?
If you’ve ever experienced any of these things then I highly recommend you read the letter he wrote to us. It will touch you deeply and will help you get back on track if you find yourself sliding away from what’s most important to you in your life.

Recently I had one of the most powerful weeks of my life.
It started when I attended a Tony Robbins seminar. I’ve always wanted to see Tony live and he certainly didn’t disappoint. In fact, it was hands down the best event I’ve EVER attended.
That’s saying a lot considering I’ve been to hundreds of events, but this was like no other.
The best description I could give would be this…

One of my mastermind members asked if I wanted to attend a Tony Robbins event towards the end of July.
I’ve always been a Tony fan and even remember going to the library years ago and signing out his Personal Power tapes (that was quite a long time ago!).
Unfortunately, I never had the chance to see him live.
Until now
It just so happens that I know the company in Toronto that is co-producing the event.
I called them up, and purchased my ticket right away.
But that’s when I thought, why not see if anyone else wants to go.
You can download a PDF with all the details right here .
If you’d like to attend the event, it’s happening July 25th-28th in Toronto and you can get tickets by calling:
1-866-994-2555 ext. 244
Just make sure you ask for Miriam and she’ll give you a good deal
I think it would be a blast to have a whole bunch of people attend so once you’ve got your tickets, shoot me an email and let me know so we can get together during the event.

Every year for my wife’s birthday we go out to a really nice steakhouse.
She loves steak and it’s become a little tradition.
The two of us go back and forth joking all day long as far as what kind of steak we are going to get and inevitably, our mouths are watering before we even walk into the restaurant.
However, recently, we almost had a bad experience but we were pleasantly surprised with how the restaurant handled the situation and now we can’t stop telling everyone about it. It’s a wonderful example of how great customer service can turn a negative into a positive marketing event.

If you are an entrepreneur, you probably live and die by all your ideas.
Personally, I love great ideas.
When I see unique and unusual business ideasкомпютри, my mind goes into overdrive and I immediately start thinking about all kinds of new possibilities.
Can you relate?
Well, a few years ago, one of my business mentors did something that dramatically changed my perspective regarding the true value of an idea.
His demonstration was so impactful that it completely altered the way I approach business.
Here’s what happened…

I’m sure you’ve heard it a million times as you were growing up…
"Don’t judge a book by it’s cover"
The problem is, we do!
The same goes for your website.
If the graphics are lame and the design looks like your 11 year old neighbor did it for you, chances are, people will leave and give up on you before you even have a chance to tell them what you have to offer.
But, I realize the problem…

Now you have an alternative.
Marketing Web Graphics is a very affordable graphics package designed for the small business owner looking to sell their products and services on the web.
The images are sharp, clean and very professional… not to mention easy to use.

Recently, I was engaged in a fascinating conversation.
A bunch of guys on my soccer team and I were discussing (of all things)… getting our hair cut!
It all started when someone made a comment about my freshly groomed crop. Well that comment led to another and before I knew it, an amazing set of business lessons came to the surface.
Here’s what I mean…

In a casual survey I asked people what they thought of the top 5 names I had selected for a service I am about to launch.
The feedback was AWESOME!
However, the selections were all over the place and there wasn’t a clear winner. That’s why I’ve decided to give a little more detail regarding this service in the hopes that it will give you the information you need to make a clear choice regarding the name.
