Throughout my life, I’ve sought out the advice and teachings of great leaders. One who I admire more than most is Anthony Robbins.

I recently came across a message Tony and his wife Sage shared as holiday wishes and advice for the coming year.

In this message, they discussed how we don’t actually experience our lives; we experience the lives we focus on. It’s all about perspective. What’s wrong is always available, but so is what’s right.  

Tony talks about how a part of our brain always looks for what’s wrong. It’s an evolutionary survival mechanism designed to keep us alive and send us into fight or flight. This monkey part of our brain helped keep us alive in our caveman days, but it often works to our detriment in our modern age. This part of our brain takes over anytime we feel stressed.

Once upon a time, there was a man on a mission. His mission was to support his family, live a good life, and give something back to the world that had, so far, been nothing but generous to him.

This man was not a doctor, a dentist, or a lawyer. He wasn’t particularly good with mechanical or carpentry pursuits. His talents were in finding opportunities.   He was excellent at rooting out opportunities where others saw none. His friends, doctors, dentists, lawyers, and carpenters would come to him with excellent services and products to sell. They would come to him destitute, having stockpiled their knowledge and goods and having no way to connect with those who might benefit from what they offered.

This man would comfort them. He would hold their hand, pour them a cup of tea, and have them explain their business, their products, their services, and their problems.

I’m a marketing strategist. This means it’s my job to sell, and I’m good at what I do.

What I love most about my job is how I can help a business owner with a great product, a valuable service, or a good idea and connect with those who will benefit most from what they offer.

This connection is a win-win—my favorite type.

My client wins because they are making money. Their patients, clients, or patrons win because they get to enjoy the end result.

One of the masters who’s taught me the most about selling is Dan Kennedy, and today, I’d like to discuss some key advice I’ve learned under his tutelage. With the right strategy, it's possible to sell just about anything, and the advice in this blog will help you determine the right strategy for you.

Dan Kennedy has been my friend and mentor for a very long time. If you don’t know who he is, then I welcome you to planet Earth and will take this opportunity to introduce you to one of the world’s highest-paid copywriters and master salesmen of our time.

So much of what I’ve learned, applied in my own business, and now make work for my clients, I attribute to what I’ve learned from Dan.

One of the fundamental principles he teaches is the importance of putting together the right message for the right market. Your message must express what sets you apart from competitors and showcase you as the best choice to meet your prospect's needs.

Have you ever felt you’re not using your full potential?

Have you ever dissected your day and thought about wasted effort, time, or energy you could have used on something else?

Have you ever looked up from an afternoon spent lazily in front of the TV or an hour spent scrolling through social media and felt guilty, maybe even disgusted, a pang of regret for time lost that you’ll never regain?

Recently, I came across the work of Charles F. Haanel while perusing the Secrets of Success Mastermind Vault.   Haanel developed a chart for his Master Key System that is supposed to help you improve your focus by identifying areas where you may improve.

He asks his readers to place a percentage next to the following areas:

While perusing the vault of the Secrets of Success Mastermind Group, I came across a quote by Elsie Lincoln Benedict…

“Fear of Any Kind is a depressant to both the mind and body, while faith stimulates us to attempt and finally accomplish the impossible.”

So many people live their lives in fear. They don’t realize it, but it’s true nonetheless.

For us high achievers, we would never admit to being fearful; we call it stressed.

We fear nothing; we’re just stressed. We’re stressed about an upcoming meeting, we’re stressed about upcoming expenses, and stressed about an upcoming doctor’s appointment, and all the afterschool events we’ve committed to with the kids.

But if you think about what’s at the root of your stress…it’s fear.

For eLaunchers and myself, 2023 was a year filled with wonderful opportunities.  I became friends and business associates with some truly remarkable people.  I became a member of the Secrets of Success Mastermind Group and, along with Dan Kennedy and Russell Brunson, conducted a deep dive study into the work of some of the greatest thinkers of the past centuries.

In the vault that holds a treasure trove of priceless information—a vault that only Secrets of Success Mastermind Members can access- I came across the work of Elsie Lincoln Benedict. 

As I was perusing her work, a quote of hers stood out…

Have you ever met anyone who could look at a bright and beautiful blue sky and instantly find a single solitary gray cloud?

Have you noticed how many people go around nowadays staring at their phones?

It’s scary.

Pull up to a red light and look around at the other drivers. Chances are, they’re staring at their phones.

In line at the grocery store, you’ll find the same. No one is talking; hardly anyone is even looking at the impulse items at the register. They all just stand in line, noses down, eyes on their screen.  

At the bus stop…or on the subway, almost every person…heads down, eyes wide, staring at their phones.

Do you ever wonder what they’re looking at?

If you believe the research, most of them are mindlessly scrolling through memes, watching reels on Instagram, or burrowing deep down into social media rabbit holes.

Recently, marketing genius Dan Kennedy published an article in his No B.S. newsletter that focused on the tried-and-true tactics of Napoleon Hill’s famous Think and Grow Rich, which you probably know is one of the most influential personal development books of all time.

In the newsletter, he briefly overviews Hill’s work and discusses how his principles can help you be more persuasive in your marketing efforts and more effective in your business.

Hill’s 13 principles include the power of…

• Clearly defining what you want and having a burning desire to achieve it.
• Developing unwavering faith and belief in your ability to achieve your goals and never allowing yourself to be derailed by temporary setbacks and doubt.
• The power of positive affirmations and visualization in first combating and then replacing negative self-talk. This helps program your mind for success.

Dan Kennedy, the legendary copywriter responsible for some of the most wildly successful marketing campaigns of all time, has recently partnered with marketing genius Russell Brunson. The two of them joined forces to gather a lifetime of Dan’s work into one place and make it available to the public.

Why, you ask?

Because they both share twin passions for promoting and nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit, they love the idea…of new ideas. They get excited about innovation and want to help business owners who pave new ways into the unknown.

The result of their time sifting through the mountain of work that represents Dan’s career is a treasure trove of courses, correspondence, master sales letters, and more.

If you’re part of Dan’s Community already but maybe swimming in the kiddy pool, remaining a gold member, you’ll be glad you came across this post.
