Newsletters (like this) and Internet Marketing: A personal note
I hope you know how much I value each one of you and my relationship with each of you. You take the time to read my newsletter, my "unsubscribe" rate is one of the lowest in the business, and I appreciate that enormously. So I take the job of writing this newsletter every week very seriously, and try to give you the best information I can find while keeping it useful and (hopefully) entertaining.
What I'd like you to know is that on average of twice a week I get approached to do what's called in Internet Marketing a "joint venture". People ask me to email my mailing list about a product or service they're selling (I ask others to do that from time to time as well). I turn down about 95% of these requests. Either I don't absolutely believe in the product or service (in which case I don't care how much money I could make from it) or I think it wouldn't be something of great use or interest to my readers and I don't want to burden your inbox with more sales letters.
Once in a while though, there is something that I really do believe in that I really do think could be of enormous value to you. There are a few companies I truly endorse which I'll tell you about in coming weeks and months. One makes the amazing Infared Sauna I have in my house that I use every day. Another markets what I believe is the best wild salmon and organic fruit I've ever eaten, stuff I've been ordering on a regular basis for at least four years. Once in a while a colleague develops a product I really think could be useful and helpful or a friend like Chicken Soup for the Soul author Mark Victor Hansen puts on a seminar that I think you'd really like. When that happens, I'll let you know about it with a separate email.
What I want to let you know is that you won't get a lot of "dedicated" emails on products or services from me during the course of a year. But when you do, rest assured that they're products or services that I either use personally or have checked out thoroughly and really believe in. I won't waste your time or squander my credibility with you on anything less. That's my promise to you and you can be sure I'll keep it.

Hi Johnny-
Thanks for the blog. I am a 47 y/o, swm, and in poor shape and extremely self conscious. I am 6ft,240 and actually afraid to exercise. I had an injury in the army, and back surgery 18 months ago and am afraid to exercise.
I don't ever want to feel the pain in my back again, or even imagine surgery again..
I went all of 2007 as a strict vegan, but couldn't sustain it. I am a meat eater and want your opinion on which diet would be best for a guy like me.
I want to get my mojo back ;)
Any suggestion would be highly appreicated.
Sincerely,
Jack
Hi Jack
I can imagine back surgery might be horrendous. But you are way too young to "give up" on vitality! I think with diet, everyone is individual and what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another. So i think you should experiment. Try some meat and fish, but keep up the high vegetable and fruit intake. And by all means, see if you can get a personal trainer or physical therapist to advise some exercises that wouldn't harm your back. I know there are tons of them, and many people with severe injuries have started exercising again and regained all their mojo! you can too!
just never, never give up!
warmly
jb
