![]() Hi Dean, Thanks for answering my questions in such great detail. I started listening to Zig in the late 70’s and use to have a copy of “Secrets of Closing The Sale” when I still lived in the States but I forgot most of what I read so I’m buying the Kindle version of it so I can refresh my memory.
Books have shaped my life… it was “How I Raised Myself From Failure To Success” by Frank Bettger that first got me interested in learning how to sell and the one thing I remember from it is Franks secret was “Enthusiasm”. Just like Gordon’s White Bread story…. You can know everything in the book but if you don’t act with enthusiasm you won’t get far. If How-To’s Were Enough We Would All Be SKINNY, RICH & HAPPY! I have some suggestions that will really help you to lose your big fat butt…. I was tall and skinny until my early thirties when I started to gain weight but unlike you, I didn’t get a Fat Butt… I gained it all in my stomach while my butt, legs and arms remain skinny. But I’m making really good progress on losing my stubborn belly fat and would like to share how I’m doing it with you. It’s been a real struggle but I’m finally on my way to six pack abs and I turn 59 this year. We all know that the simple, proven formula to losing weight or fat that works every time is to simply eat less and exercise more, right? That’s the short version of the “How-To’s” … But, Simple Isn’t Always Easy Is It? There are several books that I can’t say enough good things about that I hope you read. The first one is “Younger Next Year” listen to a sample of the audio version at: http://www.audible.com/search/ref=a_...prefix=Younger Then check the authors website out at: http://www.youngernextyear.com I’ve lost almost 40lbs since August of 2012 and still have another 20 lbs to lose. My progress has been slow but steady and I’m feeling better than I have for years. Next, go to my weight loss blog at: www.HungerFreeWeightLoss.com and read the post dated “30 January 2014”. Read the post, then click on the link to download the free FatLoser eBook… after you download the book, go back to www.HungerFreeWeightLoss.com and find the banner on the lower right side for the Free 21 Day Fat Loser program… Between 2003 – 2010 thousands of people paid $500 for the program but the author “Steve Siebold” is now giving it away for free. Warning… Everyone who has taken my advice on reading “Younger Next Year” loves it. But many people absolutely hate Steve Siebold’s Fat Loser ebook because he doesn't sugar coat the truth but tells it like it is and most people will deny it because they don’t like the truth. The optional “Skinny Fiber” weight loss pills are part of my strategy to overcome my biggest obstacle to losing weight… hunger and cravings. They are not miracle pills but they do help to control cravings and appetite. The Younger Next Year book will light your enthusiasm but the Free Fat Loser book and Mental Toughness program will give you a dose of reality… together, these two books combined with sensible diet and exercise will add years to your life and life to your years! I predict you'll become a big FatLoser this year if you read those two books. Cheers, Steve |

Yeah, Zig is great, in my opinion. I read his book a long time ago, but I gained a lot from it! I also liked the Frank Bettger book, too. The main lesson I remember gaining from that is to not "force" a sale on someone who doesn't want to buy! Instead of wasting your time doing this, use your time wisely and move on to the next prospect. You'll usually make more sales per day that way, rather than by trying to "beat a dead horse"! Health is very important... As I've found out through experience, you really need health to be successful in business, or in anything else you want to accomplish. In fact, good health should be one of your highest priorities... Many people don't realize this (as was the case with me), until you start hitting middle age. If you can realize it earlier in life, so much the better! I've also been improving my health lately... I may write more about that later... Thanks for the recommendation to "Younger Next Year" - I'll check it out! Also, your website "Hunger-Free Weight Loss" looks great! There's no doubt that more fiber will help... It fills you up more, plus it's good for your system, too. Thanks for the "heads up" on all that... ![]() On hunger... I've found that you can have two different foods with the same calories, and one will "fill you up" more (i.e. you'll be less hungry) than the other... For example, a 150 calorie (around 600 kJ) muesli bar fills me up much better than 150 calories of chocolate does! So, if I want a snack, nowadays, I'm more likely to reach for a muesli bar than a piece of chocolate, simply because I know it will fill me up for much longer... Thanks for sharing those insights, Steve! ![]() Best wishes, Dien |

Hi Dien, Yes it takes energy that comes from good health and enthusiasm to get things done (it’s your true wealth and capital) and adding fiber to your diet is a great strategy that is both quick and easy! I’m a big eater so for me to lose weight without hunger I have to choose healthy foods high in fiber. And I add in more fiber from the Skinny Fiber pills (especially while travelling) plus I just started to add heaps of Chia Seeds to my green and fruit smoothies as another easy way to increase my fiber. Have you seen the Picture Perfect Weight Loss books? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRf_LrgjZ6Q Or this book at: http://www.amazon.com/Volumetrics-We...ref=pd_sim_b_5 With Volumetrics, leading nutritionist Barbara Rolls, PhD, has devised a plan to give people what they′ve always wanted: a way to lose weight while still feeling full and satisfied. I wonder if there's a phone app of the photos from Dr Shapiro's Picture Perfect Book for easy reference when your eating out? Those who keep food and exercise journals get far better results that those who don't so it be cool to take a photo ( http://www.healthhabits.ca/2008/09/0...he-photo-diet/ ) of what you actually ate and insert it next to photos of what you could have eaten. Cheers, Steve www.HungerFreeWeightLoss.com |

![]() Hey Dien, I was thinking about the silly wig you mentioned. Seems people want to be entertained when being sold to and I came across this one hour 45 minute move at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyRjJeS7NPs that interviews the top IM Gurus.
It's called "Add To Cart". In it Yanik Silver wears a silly pink hairpiece. The top money earners seem not to be embarrassed in the least when they want to draw attention to themselves while most people let their feelings stop them cold from preforming the most basic marketing activities like making telephone calls to prospects. Just thought that some here would like to watch the above documentary on Internet Marketing. Cheers, Steve |

Thanks for sharing that! I think Yanik Silver is probably one of the top internet marketers in the world today... Some of his promotions are very creative, and are great at getting your attention... In my case, I wore a funny wig because I was thinking of the copywriting "AIDA" formula... Attention, Interest, Desire, Action. I wore it to get Attention! You can't sell a thing unless you first have someone's attention... In my case, it didn't work so well, but it was a tough environment (or so I like to tell myself)... ![]() Best wishes, Dien |
