I think that sums it up quite well. Keep what works for you and throw out the rest. I also have "Creating Wealth" BTW. I don't happen to like that one as much as the others. I found it when Gordon and I stumbled on a used book sale at the Cuyahoga Falls Library. I think I paid $1.00 or something like that.

Since you focus more on direct response marketing, you might like his "Multiple Streams" books better. I recommend them both. And I already told you how much I like "One Minute Millionaire." There is less "hard" marketing info in there but plenty of info to help you cut thru some of the areas that you might be stumbling on.

Absolutely.
