the day i beat up a girl

Hello

It's the 1 year anniversary of Sarah and myself being together and I was masterminding with my buddy Tanya O yesterday and we got onto the subject of gifts and what I should get for Sarah to mark the occasion.

I'd figured I would get her in one of my best headlocks and that would suffice. Tanya thought maybe I should think of something else.

I thought long and hard for about 2 and a half seconds and decided the headlock it is....

Headlocks carry an important lesson too if you're thinking about becoming an entrepreneur, or are already.

I remember, back in 1992. I lived in Germany. Berlin to be exact.

Amazing place.

The school was awesome.

One lunchtime, a crowd had gathered around the treez and were making quite a noise.

We hurried over.

A girl was challenging all the boys to a fight.

And winning!

Was kinda funny to watch.

Everytime she beat one of them into submission, I was shitting myself in case she picked me.

What if she did...

What if she actual beat me...

She was tough...

She was beating them all...

I'd be a laughing stock...

After she had beat up around 9 or 10 boys she was looking around for her next victim. I was looking around trying not to make eye contact with her...

Hoping she wouldn't notice me...

Hoping she wouldn't pick me...

She won't pick me....

FUUUCCCCCKKKK

She picked me :-/

I musta went white

How could I get out of it?

Everyone started pushing me towards her.

My own god dam mates.

They would've loved to see me get beat up by a girl. :)

About a metre away from her I remember the look on her face, smiling, she was loving it.

Then something changed inside me.

All the fear disappeared.

I had to get my shit together.

No way out, no place to hide.

I made the decision in that split second, I was about to end her unbeaten record.

Before she could do anything, I had grabbed her and, not wanting to hurt her but still wanting to win, I grabbed her in a headlock and squeeeeeeezed that bitch.

She was kicking for a while, trying anything she could.

Then, after what seemed like only a few minutes, she started screaming submit.

BIYYYYYYAAATCH! :)

I had brought her down, my reputation still in tact.

We became good friends.

And it's like that in business homie.

You have to grab the bull by the horns. You have to face your fears and all the what if's.

You have to step out of your comfort zone.

You can't hide away.

And just as I did, when you make the decision and back it with everything you got all the fears will disappear.

Then my friend, your business will soar.

Make a decision and head over to www.MeetEwanRobb.com ...

Pull on the rope and you will find services to assist you in reaching your goals.

Hey Dumbo...

Yo playa,

Let me tell you about Dumbo.

There was this guy who really wanted to build a successful business.  He had a family he never saw due to slaving away at his job each day.  He commuted 2 hours to and from work and, to make matters worse, he was always afraid of being laid off.

So he decided to become an entrepreneur.

But, he didn't want to do anything until he was 'ready'

So he started going to night college to take business and marketing classes.  He did that for a few years, seeing even LESS of his family and when he graduated from there, he decided he was 'ready'

He had all kinds of ideas.

Lots of book smarts about business and had even graduated at the top of his class.

So he went forth to find a home business to join.

Eventually, he found one.

But a funny thing happened.

None of his fancy business education made any difference.

In fact, he never even USED anything he learned.

And it kind of saddened him.

He wasted all that time and money going to school, when he already had everything he needed (the right mindset and goals) to do the business.

Remember Dumbo? 

Ever see that movie as a kid?

Dumbo the elephant in the cartoon thought he could only fly when he held the 'magic feather'  But, in reality, he already had what it took to fly without the feather.

Same with this guy. 

So they nicknamed him Dumbo :)

Listen, chances are you already have what it takes to be successful in your own home based business or you wouldn't be reading these emails.  

Throw the feather away.

Get started.

Go after your dreams.

If you don't do it now, when will you?

Go here www.MeetEwanRobb.com and swing from the rope, it's laid out to make it as eezy as possible for you to get profitable

until tomozzle...

love ya

does your business wear a condom?

yo pimpstring

Gots me an email from WMI today (if your not a member, you're missing out, see here)

The title read...

'Will you be prepared when the opportunity arrives?'

It got me thinking bout a funny story a couple years back.

My buddy had just got single and was heading off for a week of sunshine to a festival in Barcelona. There was all the usual bloke carryings on and he announced he was gonna walk about with a condom on for the whole week, just incase the opportunity was to 'arise' 

lolz

There really is a business lesson in everything.

Opportunity is always all around us. Most people miss out because they're not prepared. It's not the right time and other nonsense like that. 

Then they whine about how unlucky they are and how it never happens for them. It's not fair how 'some  people' just seem to have everything go their way.

But we're ready and waiting!

See, it's better to be ready, waiting and for none to come along rather than not be prepared and have to watch it come and go.

Make it happen bitch!

Here is one of the biggest opportunities I believe you need right now if building real wealth is important to you.

~~~> Join our private wealth group

Take decisive action BEFORE you feel 100% ready. Act now to be in the position when the opporchancity comes knocking...

'put your condom on today' so to speak ;)

ps, you have the chance to be part of an elite group which will continue to pay rich dividends for the rest of your life.

I've seen some crazaaayyyy things, but this....

Just over 30 years I been on the wonderful planet now and I've saw'd some pretty crazaaaayyy stuff...

I've crashed a fighter jet in Iraq, ran from the soldiers ready to rape me and escaped in a hot air ballon with the face of a futuristic gooroo on it ;)

Yes, you see what the 2 have in common, dontcha :p

I've seen the male body move in ways it should never be allowed to move! (yes, mine too haha) I've seen bodies, that should never be allowed out in public!!!

I've seen rabbits do backflips as 2 cats watch on in horror

I've seen aliens land in my back garden and come in for a cup of green tea, well strawberry & mango actually, it was their favourite kind too. We talked about sex before marriage, sports and much much more. They couldn't understand why everyone thinks usain bolt is so fast, they have a guy who can do it in 2.55 seconds...

I've seen grown men wear brown sandals with white sox, like wtf is that all about?

I once saw an elephant eaten up by a mouse, in only 3 bites!!! :0

I've watched on as 2 fake planes flew into towers which then collapsed due to explosive devices.

I once saw an ape with shades and a cap, play the guitar while dancing to his song!!!

I've seen 2 girls fight naked in a paddling pool full of mud.

I once witnessed a girl kick the shyt out of about 10 boys then attempted to do the same to me, but I was so scared of being embarrased, I got her in a headlock and squeeeeeeeezed as hard as I could until she screamed submit...

Biyyaaatch

I lay down on a football pitch in Germany and watched one of the most amazing thunderstorms I have ever seen.

I've witnessed a baby girl make such a mess of a nappy that I was physically sick.

I've seen thousands of people fall, time and time again for the shyt of a gooroo.

I've watched on as 4 tramps and a monkey followed a rainbow and came back with a pot of gold.

I looked through the eyes of a young man wandering aimlessly through a supermarket without enough money to buy a carton of a milk.

I've looked through the same eyes as the young man saw commissions of $50,000 hit his bank account in a 3 week period.

All craazzaaayyy happenings, I'm sure you'll agree, and all based on actual fact :D

But even with all that, I never did saw anything as amazing as how simple we have made it for you to get insanely profitable.

Tiddle on over to www.MeetEwanRobb.com and pull on the rope.

Pull it, swing on it, whatever you gotta do, just don't break it. The person behind you needs to use it too

love ya
ewan

ps, have fun and holler at ya boy here if you need anything

you, back on google :)

Hello Gangstaaaaa.

You knew I gots my Google Adwords account suspended? 

Well a couple months back I gave the Adwords guy my  puppy dawg eyes over the phone and as if by magic, my account was reinstated.

And clearly, Jim thinks I'm still only second best traffic guy :o

Check out the email he sent yesterday...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heya,

Today I’ve been catching up with our resident Adwords liaison.

As it happens, he’s also an expert on Traffic and has got some remarkable results for our clients. 23 cent leads, remarkable enough for ya?

Well, part of my duties as the head and founder of YaghiLabs is to train the staff on the various aspects of traffic generation, conversion, design, and all things related to marketing on the internet.

This traffic guy was hand-trained by me for over two years to become the current badass he is.

But you know what he has that I don’t?

He has a love for people.

GASP! Jim doesn’t like people?

No…not particularly.

I prefer machines; it’s why I’ve been programming and building them since I was 9.

And I love how predictable and systematic they are.

People aren’t this way at all.

So they make me uneasy.

Again, I chose machines when I could have started a business in anything ... instead chose internet marketing. And I didn’t specialize in sales and conversion – instead, I decided to make PPC my playground.

Which has paid off big time.

I’ve become the #1 expert on paid traffic generation and can flood a website with so much traffic it won’t even have a chance to slow down.

As long as the PPC traffic networks allow us to advertise the website.

But those days are behind us.

It’s not enough to be good with the machines alone.

We have to be good with people too.

Specifically, the ones who control the “on/off” switch on our traffic.

Like the Google reviewers, for example.

Or the Bing compliance team even.

And that’s where my traffic guy who loves people comes in handy.

Recently, we’ve been working with a few clients who have suspended Adwords and Bing accounts. Contrary to popular belief, two people in the same market who have suspended accounts don’t necessarily have the same problems to fix.

Two of our clients who we’re working with are in the same industry…

...but one has an account that was suspended because of a single URL at his website that had some policy-violating content. 

While the other, has years ago, setup a headline test for a client of his that referenced his client’s URL -- and now he has to bring a URL he doesn’t own into compliance so he can get his account back!

The first client has an easy fix. 

The second is much more complex.

The first client is only dealing with machines…the machines have identified a URL on his website that was not completely kosher. And he can fix it by simply updating the page.

The second client is dealing with people.

He now has to reach out to his old client and plead with him to update his website that isn’t even being advertised on Google any more. Getting traffic for him, isn’t a matter of how good the ad copy we write is. It’s not about how well his landing page converts. And it’s not about how cheap his leads are.

Right now, it’s all about whether we can make an offer to his old client that makes sense to us (eg, to offer to redo his website at our client's expense)…

Or if we can communicate with someone over at Google who’ll sympathise with the fact that neither we nor our client has control over the URL they’re suspending him for. (less likely)

This will require some tact from an expert on HUMANS.

Which is where my traffic guy comes in.

I told him, buddy you’re mission is not to be the best at working the machines…I can handle that no sweat.

Your job is to handle the PEOPLE who control the machines that control the traffic.

And he gets it.

In the end, getting the traffic flowing again for suspended clients will come down to some kind of website update that makes a problematic URL or URLs compliant with Google or Microsoft.

And that’s something we know how to do very well.

The people, leave that to us too. We got you covered.

Get a website makeover and have us talk to Google for you FREE.

If there’s a problem in YOUR website, we’ll handle it.

If the problem is in someone else’s website, we’ll broker a deal with them too.

Here’s where to get your Google Complaint website makeover:

Just imagine...

playaaa's with money

I read about something EVERYONE in business should know.

Especially people looking for a business.

I was surfing the Internet recently, and saw an article titled...

'Ultra Rich Spending Less and Chasing Quality' 

It was a great read, and if you are thinking of being in business (or are in business) then this will effect you BIG time.

Why?

Because the rich are the best customers.

One marketing guy I know of called them "PWM" -- or 'players with money', and said they are truly the best customers to focus on.

I agree too.

And in a down economy, it's even MORE important, since they are the ones with money to burn right now.

But, as the article says, things have changed a bit.

They are no longer spending as much.

And when they DO spend, it's on high quality.

So what's this got to do with you?

The answer is simple.

Whatever business you are in, if you're not selling high ticket and high QUALITY products, then you are shooting yourself in the foot.

Frankly, you're ROBBING yourself.

And notice the 'quality' component.

Some businesses think just because they sell expensive stuff that people will automatically assume it's quality.  Well, that's NOT the case anymore, the wealthy are scrutinizing everything.

You can't just talk the talk.

Anyway, just something to think about.

Smart entrepreneurs have always known the wealthy are the best customers to sell to (they 'recession proof' your income, basically).

But quality is more important than ever.

Make sure you deal only in high prices AND high quality.  This is one reason we are THRIVING, while much of the industry is dying right now.

First, we cater to people with money.

Secondly, we ONLY deal in quality.

You need high ticket 'quality' products to sell to a classier level of customer? 

Here's where you need to be ~~> High Ticket Products

death bed grumbles

I recently stumbled across an article about death.

No, I'm not dying any time soon, unless the gooroo club get their hands on me :p 

What grabbed my attention was the ramifications death has for entrepreneurs vs non-entrepreneurs.

The article was about a lady who works in a special hospital where everyone is on their death beds. She saw two recurring death bed regrets people have before joining the "choir invisible."

The first is not having the courage to go for their dreams.

This is VERY sad, in my opinion.

It bothers me whenever people let fear and social pressure (from family and friends, especially) hold them back from pursuing their dreams. 

Entrepreneurs, on the other hand, are contrarian. We don't care what others think. We're more afraid of NOT trying at all than failing, frankly, we tend to THRIVE on naysaying.

Anyway, so that was the first regret. The other one was...

'I wish I didn't work so hard'.

I can relate!

When I did 60-70+ hours per week, all I did was work.  I barely ever saw my family.  When I did, I was too tired, drained and exhausted to enjoy it.

I remember standing in my mums kitchen in tears, exhausted. I was 19! Another 46+ years of doing that scared me.

Today, I still work a lot of hours. Probably more than I never did. In fact, as I write this, it's 1:05am

But it's by CHOICE.

It's not draining... it's invigorating! 

Frankly, entrepreneurs are restless unless we ARE working on something

Yes, there's balance (you must have balance).

But work is not 'work', it's play.

And thus, I'd bet few (if any) of the people who regretted working so much were entrepreneurs.  Most likely they were working for 'the man' -- charter members of the '40/40 club'  (working 40 hours per week, for 40 years). Probably coming closer to the '60/60 club'

And you know what?

Wasting your life working for someone else, for most,  WILL cause regrets. It'll steal your time with your family and will never pay you what you're worth.

But like I said, becoming an entrepreneur has NEVER been easier.

You can even do it today

Give the rope a good old tug

things entrepreneurs shouldn't do...

I know you love a 'how to'

But today, I'm going the opposite way.

Lets cover a few things you (and any other entrepreneur -- big or small) should NOT do if you want to succeed quickly and with as little hassle as possible.

Here goes...

• Watch the news & read the papers

• Consult with non business owners (just because they're "educated" doesn't mean you should listen to them.  Just ask the big fortune 500 companies who go belly up after handing over their decision-making to Harvard yard business kids who have never even run a successful lemonade stand much less a real business)

• Trust in a gooroo (how can you tell if a gooroo is lying?  Answer: When they're lips are moving!  

• Compromise your values for a quick buck (NEVER do this, ever)

• Forget about balance (when you start getting successful, you MUST have balance or you'll be miserable)

• Work on anything you don't enjoy (smart entrepreneurs focus on the things they are indispensable at and outsource the rest)

Actually, this is a very short list.

I could add 100 more things to it.

But if you just avoided doing these things, you'll probably succeed twice as fast as you would otherwise.

Speaking of succeeding twice as fast, we added a new feature to the website to make things simple for you to profit....

So go and pull the rope...

money gettin email tipz

Hey

Woke up to an email today and as I read through, something reminded me of a 'ninja' money gettin email tip :)

An old 'mentor' of mine told us on a 'training' webinar, how, at the end of all your emails, whether autoresponder or broadcast message,

Always....













.....

















Hit the return key to push the ability to unsubscribe far enough down the page so the reader wouldn't use the feature.

lolz, dumbest thing you ever did hear?

How freekin annoying

I see how his idea works though, the reader won't scroll down the page to unsubscribe, they would whip out their card details and send him $20,000 instead. :p

Genius!

Email skillz will make you money if done right though, things like...

• Daily follow up

• Write for ONE person, not an audience

• Unlike the gooroo's dumb advice, don't give away all your best stuff for free, you will have nothing to sell :o

Speaking of gooroo's and the dumbass things they dress up as 'ninja' secrets, my Tinderbox Report reveals a lot more stuff you need to avoid like the plague.

Readers of my newsletter are smarter humans than the gooroo fanboy crowd and don't get sucked into the 'ninja' confidence tricks.

They also get discounts on stuff such as The Tinderbox Report and waaaaaaay more

Read it today and then email me your gooroo tales :p

beware the 'charlatan' traffic pimps

Hello buddy,

You may already know I was brought up on the farm and after leaving school, started me a life of farming.

Early morning, late nights and a lot of hard work. 147 hours of hard work in ONE week before :) 

While I realised quite quickly it wasn't the life for me, I believe there are a lot of life lessons to be taken from the farm and certain traits, instilled in the farming community are great assets to have in your own business. 

For example...

I credit my work ethic to the farm.

I also came across the philosophy of working smart and started to realise there were people building some awesome lifestyles for themselves and not working 100+ hours a week for it. 

Obviously, making the most money from the least work is a pretty smart philosophy to adopt. It's not lazy, it's dam smart.

But as usual, the goorooeeey home business industry makes a fool of it.

Any money gained in business, I believe, should come from 100% win - win situations between the customer and yourself.

The major issue within the industry, is most deals are 100% win - who cares about the customer.

Check out what I saw from another self proclaimed traffic gooroo on Facebook last week.

Dude was shouting about raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars in under 2 hours at his traffic event with...

NO preparation.

And all the usual fanboys cheering him on, shame for them haha

And shame on the gooroo!

Imagine you turned up at your favourite artists concert, only to find they had no idea of what they were going to perform. You'd be pissed off right?

Yet home business applauds it.

Dam charlatans, industry is full of them!

This made me laugh...

A charlatan is a person performing quackery or similar forms of confidence tricks in order to obtain money, fame or other advantages via pretense or deception.

HELLLOOOOOO

Pretty much hit the industry right between the eyes there :)

Then, a confidence trick...

is an attempt to defraud a person or group by gaining their trust. A confidence artist is an individual working alone or in cahoots with a group who exploit characteristics of the human psyche such as honesty, vanity, compassion, irresponsibility, naivety, credulity and greed.

The majority don't do it on purpose, they actual think they're doing good as they've not worked out what a farce the whole thing is.

The industry knows, there's only one place you go when you want long term, sustainable traffic. 

But we just went one better...

'Done WITH You Traffic'

It's a 12 month coaching program.

So if you like the idea of creating massive traffic at your website, Early bird list is open, take a peek, and hop on ;)

ps, The Tinderbox Report I wrote will open up your eyes to more on goings within the industry

profit during financial storm

Hey dawg, 

You know I stay in Scotland right? It's a beautiful place.

But the weather isn't always pretty.

No matter where you live here, you always have the nagging feeling it's just a matter of time before you get rattled with some rain storms.

It happened today too

Anyway, here's why I bring this up 

Just like rain storms... there are FINANCIAL storms too -- which can happen ANY time and (if history is any indication) unleash miseries galore on the unprepared.  

Here are some ways a friend once sent me to prepare for them.

And, if you're really sharp, PROFIT from them:

1.  Multiple Income Streams

Having just one income stream is DANGEROUS right now.

If that's you, then you could do worse than building a second (and third) one as fast as humanly possible.

2.  Think Negatively

I'm talking about this wise old adage:

"Hope for the best, expect the worst."

That may make some of the more "militant" positive thinking gooroo's rage and gnash their teeth. But it's a great way to prepare thyself for life's curve balls.

3.  Stay Awake

Opportunities are everywhere.  

If you're awake (and sober), you'll see them. 

4.  Don't Lean On Politicians

Pinning your fate to a politician (or party) is a bad idea.

It's why so many people are broke.

5.  Know Your History

Many smart folks get rich in times of depression.  Find out what they did, and then rinse, lather and repeat. 

(Hint: They ran a profitable business!)

6.  Sharpen Your Skills

Negotiation "guru" Jim Camp said it best: "The more effective we are, the more respected we are."

Good deals often chase people who excel at what they do.

(And not the other way around.)

7.  Learn To Sell

Selling is the world's HIGHEST paid profession.

Those good at it are always in demand. 

However, let's face it, selling is where most fall short. I told you before, people think traffic is their problem. BUT, when I send them more traffic than they ever saw before, they realise selling is their real problem. 

That's why we decided to stop doing traffic for now and open up our our 'done WITH you traffic'

Hop on our 'Early Bird List' 

That's it for today.

Tomorrow... something else.

love ya
ewan

ps, The Tinderbox Report is also creating a bit of a storm too, see why

gooroo tells branson to 'take the reigns...today!

Hello,

You read that story about Richard Branson? 

He's started designing his own planes at his kitchen table. He then goes down to the car boot sale, buys up all his ingredients, builds the plane in his back garden, flys it himself then serves coffee and cream buns to the passengers.

All because one gooroo said you MUST take control of all facets of your business!

Lollllz

Ok, so the above story idn't true but you can't help but laugh at those gooroo types, they never cease to amaze, do they? 

One took a pop at 'do it for you' solutions the other day.

All the fanboys commenting like they even have a fuckin clue. One supporter said how they are getting the hang of it. It's taken over 6 years.

My comment was deleted almost instantly :p

They often contradict themselves. It's funny, they harp on about 'business' and being in control yet all they do is sell other peoples products via someone else's marketing system haha.

What is Branson really doing? 

As a business owner, he puts experts in their relative fields to work. Experts design the planes, experts build the planes, experts fly the planes and experts serve coffee and cream cakes.

They all focus on their own specific skill set.

Now take the poor lady who, in that many years has probably spent a small kings ransom (i mean a small of amount of money for a kings ransom, not an actual small king, maybe the king was small, but that's beside the point) probably been in various different programs, followed endless different gooroo's buying their dumbass 'how to' frauducts, ripped most of her flowing locks of curly hair out in frustration and after all that, is no further forward than when she started.

Now, imagine she took her business to Yaghi Labs. 

Hired an expert to extract all the info needed to build for her, a unique, sexy business angle. Hired an expert to build for her a unique, professional, sexy website. Hired an expert to build a unique ppc keyword campaign and paid a small monthly fee to work alongside these experts to turn it profitable...

I know where I'd be headed...

Get on the early bird list <~~ 'Early Bird, Early Bird squawk squawk'
