I see you are a HUGE Gary Halbert fan. I LOVED Gary. HOWEVER, regarding business...he wasn't very good at it. By his own admission. He was great at creating excitement...

but, he died a pauper...his estate unable (or unwilling) to refund the $15,000.00 in cash that people gave to him for work he never got around to doing. It wasn't that he got the money the day before he died, he held onto their money for months without delivering the goods.

I don't think anyone compares to Gary as a person able to capture people's attention and their imagination...but he really didn't offer up much in the way of "permanent" business advice. It wasn't his cup of tea.

So, as for Gary turning over in his grave...I doubt it. He didn't care all that much when he was alive. He knew how to make a buck, often quickly. He didn't know how to keep them, or how to build a business.

But TW, I see this "discussion" has you with a very clear and distinct point of view...you don't believe in "magnetic marketing" in any way, shape or form...is that about right?
