If Ever There Was A Secret To Success!

Wow, I got a lot of feedback from the last post and I appreciate it. Seems like a few readers have benefited from the advice by taking action and actually doing something with it. Well done! If ever there was a secret to success, there it is above.
Anyway, moving on…
The past couple of weeks have been one long slog. I felt like I was on a treadmill… jogging away and not getting any damn where. One job after another. Bang, bang, bang. Mainly seminar promotions. For myself and my clients. Frankly, I’ve barely had time to catch my breath.
But I made a vow recently about this blog.
I’m determined to get at least one post up per week. This way, every week you can tap into the power of Emotional Direct Response Marketing and Copywriting.
So I knew I had to get a post up today, not tomorrow.
But Monday is looming with two deadlines that have to be completed. And in the world I live in, you can’t get away with “the dog ate my lunch” kinda story, just won’t cut it.
Some deadlines are soft; meaning, they are not set in stone and you know you’ll have to make a few changes anyway.
Other deadlines are hard; meaning people are relying on you to get it done on that day and people are standing by, ready to implement. For Monday’s deadlines, my clients have got printers ready to print, web guys ready to upload my copy, and they are itching to launch their seminar promotions. The copy MUST be done!
So I compromised by reprinting a chunk from my monthly Emotional Ad Writing & Marketing Letter.
The way I see it, everyone wins. I can get back on to my deadlines and you get some great info taken from my paid subscription newsletter.
Anyway, here’s the article below. I’m gonna go grab a coffee… I’m in for a long day.
To Your Success,
Pete Godfrey

Well done Pete.

And thanks for the article — great stuff.

LOL! Another "Success Lesson" for the astute reader. If you're committed to doing something, there's always a way! Good stuff, Pete. What I like most about your newsletter and your blog is the "Real World" stuff from someone who is out there, sleeves rolled-up, actually doing stuff and scoring goals.

When you gotta dot it, you gotta do it! I have a deadline of 3-5 blogs per week - but then I can pull them into my newsletter and articles.
I find it is a great way to keep the up to date fresh stuff done while it is in my mind but there is a discipline there!

I can't spell either! Do it not dot it - I prefer my own blog where I can go back and edit!
