Psychotactics

Imagine you wrote a report 20 pages long.
Then imagine that report got translated into seven languages – French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Russian, Dutch and Italian. Imagine that that single “work of art” was requested in a print format well over 10,000 times (at a cost of about $2.50 – $3.50 each. And then sold about [...]

Imagine a one-year old child that is focused.
Imagine that one-year old is on a focused mission.
That mission is to ‘learn to walk’
First I shall walk, it says.
Forget everything else. I’m going to learn to walk, and that’s it.
And then I shall learn to talk.
And then I shall learn a language. But only one language at [...]

Imagine you went to a friend’s house today.
You’re in your friend’s kitchen.
And you see a chair.
And you sit down on that chair.
How do you know it’s safe to sit on that chair?
But even more interestingly, how do you know it’s a chair in the first instance?
Your brain worked out the pattern, didn’t it?
It figured out, [...]

Imagine you woke up one morning and wrote an article.
Just another article like all the articles you’ve been writing.
And then suddenly you had tons of folks clicking on this article. Reading it. Then signing up to your newsletter.
These tons of folks go into the hundreds, then into the thousands, then into the tens of thousands.
So [...]

Surely you’ve heard of the phrase regarding lousy carpenters. And lousier tools.
It runs like this: A bad carpenter blames his tools.
Well I agree.
And I disagree.
A great set of tools are useless, even dangerous in the hands of an amateur. But on the other hand, a great carpenter should never suffer with trashy tools.
And I say [...]

In the year 2003, I went to a presentation in Australia.
There were 450 people in the room. And two fancy cars (yes in the room!) And then the speaker ran from the back of the room to the front, amidst thunderous applause.
Five days later, I was $10,000 poorer.
And none the wiser. I’d been suckered by [...]

If you’re trying to write articles, the chances are that you’ll be up early in the morning trying to get your brain cells churning, right? Not really. Most people actually do quite the opposite.
They’ll sit down to write an article when all the rest of the work is done. And that’s when they’re most tired. [...]

In your business it’s not enough to just learn. You need to get things done if you really want that “3-Month Vacation”.
Most small business owners seem to be frozen or going around in circles.
There’s so much advice out there; so much information that only a completely nutty person would sign up for even more information.
And [...]

Understanding the Rosetta Stone (And How It Affects How You Learn)
Do you know the story of the Rosetta Stone?
You do, don’t you?
You know how archaeologists couldn’t make head or tail of hieroglyphics. And it’s not like they didn’t try. They just weren’t able to figure out what those nice little pictures on the Egyptian monuments [...]

And it’s perfect because you get the Brain Audit Version 3.2 just launched in June 2009.
Two years in the making…
This book has been two years in the making, and now it’s finally out!
And you not only get the e-book, [...]

If you learned to ride a bicycle, there’s a pretty good chance you fell.
And fell down a lot.
I sure did.
What’s worse is I learned to ride on hills, with red mud.
And that means there was a good chance of losing control on the slopes. And grazing your feet, hands and face rather badly. Plus I [...]

When you went to buy your computer, you paid for the computer in advance. When you went to the dentist, you paid your $5000 bill on the way out. And yet, when it comes to collecting money in your own business, you’re running up against a big, bad wall.
So how do you get paid on [...]
