If you want to sell millions upon thousands of books and make a million dollars, read on…
This is how it’s done, straight from the mouth of someone who made it…
I have been an entrepreneur for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a little place called Chardon, Ohio. That’s just outside of Cleveland.
As a child, probably 8,10 years old, he sold seeds door to door. He wanted that set of walkie-talkies as a kid and if you sold enough seeds, you got a pair of walkie-talkies.
I saw a space advertisement on the back cover of a comic book. You see them all the time selling greeting cards or selling seeds. I lived in a farming community so I thought it would be nice to do it and sure enough it was a great…
When I ordered the little kit, it came with a release. I simply walked over and with a cold knock on the door I gave my speech.
I got those walkie-talkies and my friends and played army men with midnight missions on our walkie-talkies and had a blast. My career as an entrepreneur was established from that moment. A space announcement had changed my life.
I used to see those ads in The Charles Atlas and Mike Marvel comics. They really motivated me and when I got a little older, I saw the ad in ’78, I guess it was Joe Karbo, The Lazy Man’s Way To Riches, and I said that’s for me! That’s just what I wanted to do.
Today I consider myself the most important type of space advertising in the world. I went through a couple hundred old comics and copied all those space ads.
I took space commercials very seriously when I was 12 years old. My dad was an engineer. He traveled all over the world and one summer he took us to Aruba. I didn’t know anyone there and I had a stack of comics that I bought at a local pharmacy there in Oranjestad in Aruba and I stayed in my room and read these comics.
Once again, I was very moved by these space announcements. I liked the psychology that the editors were using to get to the center of my soul.
They knew this was exactly what I wanted. I was amazed because they seemed to understand me very well. They never met me and I wonder how the hell these guys do this and understand me so well and know exactly what I want, when I want it, to the point where I wanted it.
I don’t think intellectually I fully understood it at the time. It wasn’t until the ’70s that I got the Karbo stuff, that’s when my desire to be able to write like that and sell stuff really started to unfold.
I first saw Karbo’s ad in a magazine called Free Enterprise, a great magazine that doesn’t exist anymore, but was one of the top opportunity magazines at the time. They were simply loaded with opportunities. This was one of them.
So, I ordered your book. After I got the book, I devoured it.
I really liked the first part of the book on the subject of attitude because I’m kind of a spiritual guy to begin with. I like psychology and in a way I understood that inherent. It really didn’t have to be sold on that part of the book. I was reading Think and Grow Rich and all the self help books, the Dale Carnegie stuff before I found Karbo. So, that was a natural thing for it. It just entered my psyche.
After reading that book, I launched my first direct mail project. The rest, as they say, is history.
