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.

Two of the men I admire most in marketing are Dan Kennedy and Russell Brunson. So, when these two speak, I sit up and pay attention. In one of Kennedy’s recent NO B.S. Newsletters, he shared a conversation he and Brunson had about the great Napoleon Hill.
In it, Brunson discussed how he’d come across a course written by Hill on effective advertising. This course was pinned back in 1917, a full 20 years before he wrote the book we’ve all come to know and love, Think and Grow Rich.
Russell Brunson found this particularly interesting because it showed that, although Hill became famous for his personal development masterpiece, Think and Grow Rich, his roots were in marketing and advertising.
Dan Kennedy goes on to discuss Hill’s earlier career, which you may not know, was as a copywriter and sales trainer for the International Correspondent School. They talked about how Hill’s time in direct sales and as a copywriter likely led to his ability to understand human nature and eventually write the influential work he’s famous for today.

So, I’ve been pouring over the treasure trove of information available to me now that I’m a member of Russell Brunson’s Secret of Success Mastermind Community, and the works of Charles F. Haanel caught my attention.
You may already know that Charles F. Haanel was an influential thinker of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He started his career in business, law, and then literature before finding his calling in personal development. He created “The Master Key System, " a guide to help change lives and people's perspectives on success.
“The Master Key System is a 24-part correspondence course that delves into the laws of attraction, visualization, and personal magnetism. As a member of Brunson’s Mastermind Community, I have access to the entire course. I particularly enjoyed Haanel’s discussion on the power of thought and how your thoughts should not be accepted as just fleeting notions but as powerful forces that shape your experiences. He details how focused concentration and vivid visualization can impress your desires on your subconscious, which will spur you into actualizing and achieving your goals and dreams.

In my recent blogs this month, I've hinted at an exciting development in my journey towards personal and professional growth: my acceptance into a secret society of high achievers. Today, I'm thrilled to share a sneak peek into the inner workings of this exclusive group and how you, too, can gain access to its treasures.
But first, let me give you a little background. This extraordinary society was founded by none other than the renowned Russell Brunson. Membership in this group grants you the keys to a vault of invaluable resources on the philosophy of success and personal development. This treasure trove contains a wealth of knowledge that can transform your life. Russell found books, magazines, and treasures that had been lost to time. He traveled the world, collected these works, and put them in one spot for himself and other high achievers to study. He spent over $ 15 million collecting these things and buying their rites. Then he spent years going through them and finding so much gold lost to this world.
As I’ve perused these archives, I’ve found priceless insight into the philosophy of personal achievement. One source of this that I’d like to highlight today is a book titled "Mental Chemistry" by Charles F. Haanel.

I'm absolutely thrilled to be sharing this with you today. In a previous blog, I hinted at a treasure trove of priceless insight on personal development that I've been fortunate to gain access to, thanks to my membership in a secret group of high performers. Be sure to read on till the end, where I’ll tell you how you can join this group as well.
As a member of this Secret Society, I now have access to a treasure trove of books, magazines, and unpublished manuscripts from some of the top thinkers and philosophers of our time. In this blog, I’ll tell you about one of the lesser-known works I discovered from one of the most influential influencers in the world of personal development. "Outwitting the Devil" by Napoleon Hill.
Most of you probably know Napoleon Hill was the brilliant self-help author of one of the most popular personal achievement books of all time, “Think and Grow Rich.” What you might not know is that his book "Outwitting the Devil" remained hidden for many years due to its controversial content.
In "Outwitting the Devil," Napoleon Hill takes us on a profound journey into the psychology of success and failure. The book is presented as a conversation between Hill and the Devil himself, who represents the negative forces that hold us back. Hill explores the factors that limit human potential and provides insights on how to overcome these obstacles to achieve personal and professional success.
