Re: This "ONE THING" will STOP you in EVERTYHING you do!
Hi Don,
Your are right. People will do almost anything to stop their pain except face their fears. Example: A couple of years ago I sold an aspiring photographer my simple system of how to flood her studio with all the portrait business she can handle. It generated thousand of leads for her! All with names, addresses and phone numbers, all lived in her city. All interested in booking a session but she refuses to pick up the phone and call them because of fear. She has been active on a popular photography marketing forum and she along with 99.9% of the people there complain that their phones aren't ringing off the wall with customers. Yet every single person whom I taught my system to that has overcome their fear of picking up the phone and calling their leads has been able to book dozens of session each and every week. Now she and several others on that forum just threw away $500 to $1000 each on placing ads that failed to generate a single call but did generate tons of request for more information. However, most of these starving artist are still starving because they let fear stop them from doing the simple things that really work. When I bought your Video Case Ad program back in 1990 I almost let my fear of talking to strangers stop me from taking action but hunger finally motivated me to just do it and it worked like a charm. It's funny how these same photographers don't have a problem talking to the few people who call them first but they let fear stop them from reaching out to anyone else. When I point this out to them they just come up with one excuse after another while complaining how bad business it. Yet I just did over $10,000 in sales from a one day shoot that would have never happened if I did not pick up the phone and call my leads first. Some live in fear and recession - Some don't - Why is that? Cheers, Steve Shulenski The World's Coolest Email - Send email and video that self destructs. Did I mention that it's FREE?
