![]() Has anyone heard of a guy called "Bob Morrison"? He sold a book called "Greedy Bastard's Business Guide". I wondered if anyone knows where he is or what he is doing now. Thanks.

He also published; * How to Make Yourself, Your Product or Your Company Famous! * How To Steal A Business! * Getting Money for Your Business! * How To Get Blood From A Turnip! * Divorce Dirty Tricks! * Gamblers Gold! and a few others BUT.... the Manual (I call them Manuals because they are all 81/2 x 11 Manuals) that got me into the "mail order" biz and what I consider a "BIBLE" of info for entrepreneurs is... "PROMOTERS GOLD"! In 1985 (I think) I received a large 17 x 22 Red & Black FLYER folded in 1/3rds down to 11 x 17...promoting his "Promoters Gold". This direct mail piece was a CLASSIC. When I received it I KNEW INSTANTLY here was something unique about it and something I KNEW deep down inside me would be a STANDARD, direct mail piece that would go down to the annals of direct mail history. This piece was MAGNIFICO-PRIMO! It captured your attention (anyone with an inkling about wanting to make some "serious" money was DRAWN INTO IT like a magnet) You felt FORCED to open this 3-fold heavy card stock piece of direct mail that arriced with your other mail. Then...when you opened it up...you saw a photo of Bob by his pool in Phoenix. You then read a "PASSIONATE STORY" (this is what SELLS stuff) about how he took all these chances...busted out a few times...THEN...finally HIT a Big one! And how he has put all his experience into the Manual that you can have for just $25. I'll never forget his final closing piece of copy; "OK Pardner, it's now up to you! Will you bet or fold! Sincerely, Robert H. Morrison" I ordered "Promoters Gold" and is it a CLASSIC. My dogeared, coffee stained, bent, beaten copy has helped me earn THOUSANDS of dollars. Bob then published "How To Sell Every Word You Write". (WHich I also have for reference) The man is to be revered! His stuff should go into an Archive. I know he's now living in Hawaii somewhere and last I recall seeing anything with his name on it was a Multi-level Hawaiian Health Drink deal. But I would NOT let loose of any of my Bob Morrison stuff for ANY money. They are going into my estate for my grandkids. Thanks for bringing up this man's name and reminding me of WHO I owe most of my success. Don Alm Some of my home-based businesses |
