Miss USA (help Miss WV)

fname,
I don’t know if you remember or not, but during the run across
the USA (RunTellmanRun) I spent some time hanging out with
Erica Goldsmith – Miss West Virginia…

She actually ran barefoot with me, and is AMAZINGLY active
in local chairities.

She is one of the most caring and giving people I have ever met,
and her family even had my family (and Run Tellman Run crew)
come over to their house a few times for dinner while we were
stuck in cheap hotels, and eating crappy food in West Virginia…

They were a saving grace for us…

Now it’s time for us to help her out. Erica (miss WV 2010) is
competing for Miss USA and I need your help to help her win.

Here’s what you can do:

When you go to this link:
http://hs.interpolls.com/s/M2K10_1775E/missphotogenic.html

Click on page “9″ up a the top of the screen…

This will take you to the last page of the pictures for Miss Photogenic
(they are alphabetical)…

You get 3 votes – so please vote for Miss WV by pressing the little
purple button that appears under her photo on the right hand side
of the screen.

Then choose 2 more people from the list of beautiful women
and then click on “Submit Vote”

I recommend that you do this on a PC with Internet Explorer if possible,
as their programming on the site is a bit off and looks weird in other browsers.

After you submit your vote, be sure to put in your real name and email and birthday
so they know you are a real vote (and uncheck the box where it asks you if you want
ongooing emails from NBC).

If you can help Erica win Miss Photogenic it will go a long way to helping her win the
Miss USA title for 2010.

I’ve been studying the art of Comic Book writing a lot lately. I picked up 8 books on our about Stan Lee (the most prolific comic book writer of all time)… and have been learning how to write comic book stories to use in our marketing messages…

I got to thinking that Comic Books have been around for a very long time – And that Super-Heros make for great stories… So much that Comic Book after Comic Book are being turned into multi-million dollar movies time after time.

Superman
Batman
Iron Man
X-Men
HULK
Spider Man
The Fanstatic 4

The list goes on.

And of course IRON MAN 2!!!!!!!

Who’s your favorite super-hero?
(I must admin, Wolverine from the X-Men wins my vote)

When I first saw this video, I thought they were saying “Let The Money Come”…

…and I thought to myself “This is pretty much exactly how a website profit machine works – what a great example to show people of how to build an online ‘machine’ that produces cash!”…
(Thanks for the awesome vid BTW Jim Morrison!)

Watch the vid below and let me know what you see as the relationships between online money machines and Rube GoldBerg Machines in the comment section below:

I Love You

Hey – I know what you’re probably thinking right now, but the truth is that I do love you. Happy Valentine’s Day!

I am sitting in the airport right now waiting for my wonderful wife Jodi to come and pick me up… She’s running a few minutes behind schedule, so I figured now would be a good time to write to you…

The plane just landed and I am just returning from a fantastic meeting in Tempe Arizona, at Joe Polish’s Genius Mastermind group where I go every 3 months or so. It is always wonderful, but this time it was really, really great. I learned a lot about business, got together with several old friends, and something very unexpected happened…

I actually got to hang out for 2 days with the one and only Paula Abdul! It’s true. She was there learning about business and marketing with the best of us – and she absolutley one of the coolest celebrities I have met so far…

But the reason I wanted to sit down and write wasn’t to tell you about all the cool people I just met. The real reason is that I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks to you.

Without you I would have nothing to work toward.

Without you I would have no reason to innovate.

Without you there would be no reason for my business to exist – and I spend all day, every day working on my business — doing my level best to help you to learn, grow… and if we both put in some hard work – to help you to make some more money along the way.

So thank you. And I Love You. I truly do – far more than words can express. In service to you my life has gotten far better than it was a few short years ago.

I have a 3 year old son now.

I own the home of my dreams.

I’m married to an amazing woman – and I am able to do things that most people only fantasize about. But it’s all possible because of the internet – something that you, and I are both part of.

It’s waiting for you. All of it is waiting.

The money, the freedom – the amazing trips to the British Virgin Islands – the ability to start your own Chairity to help homeless children– or whatever it is that you want to do to make a difference in this world.

So, I thought that I’d do something different as my way of saying Thank You.

I’d like your opinion. If you have something you need help with – if you have something that you desperately want to learn about then I urge you to look through the ideas below.

I’m working at creating a new course, and I want my students to decide what I should teach next, rather than me assuming what it is that you want the most.

Either vote up (or down) other people’s ideas below by clicking on the “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” icons… or click on “Submit An Idea” and write in what it is that you’d like to see us roll-out next.

Thanks for the help – and I hope that your Valentine’s Day is one to remember!

SHABAMBO!

So – my dad asked me the other day if I would be willing to create a basic course on how to use Facebook – and I thought it was a cool idea…

But I didn’t know if the rest of my subscribers would be interested in such a thing…

So I told him I would ask my ‘tribe’ if they wanted me to create it – or something else. I’d love to know what you would like to see our next course to be.

To make a suggestion, click on “Make A Suggestion” below, or vote up somebody elses and we’ll make our new course based on what you guys vote for!

Picture this.

We’re sitting at a table with 4 Italians in The Silver Baron Lodge…

…at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City Utah.

Actually, that’s not where we are sitting.

Right now, we’re sitting at Dick Clark’s AB Grill in the Salt Lake city airport…

But yesterday morning we were up at the Silver Baron– and it was *during* the Sundance film festival – but we were at the Thought Leader’s Summit 2010 -

And we were talking about Politics – and trying to figure out if building an email list of ‘followers’ is more like building a congregation if you were a Church – or more like building a political following within a country…

See, I was there with one of the smartest people in our company. And he was telling me about a speech he saw on TV of Obama. As he spoke about various issues, the Dow Jones Industrial Average stock market ticket-tape was running across the bottom of the screen…

And the numbers on that tape would vary wildly as his tone and the topic of what he was speaking about would change…,

He had immediate influence on the entire economy of our country simply by changing the tone of his voice…

That is influence. People listen to what he is saying, even if they disagree with it, or hate it.

Then we thought about Religion – and specifically we thought about Jesus…

So, here’s the big question we’d like your opinion on.

In a head-to-head competition of influence – who would win in:

The Historic…

Jesus vs. Obama

Tell us your opinion below – we’re about to jump on a plane but I’ll approve some comments in Cincinnati during my layover…
