A Special John Mauldin Outside the Box: Taking Control of Your World

Today I offer something a little
different from normal economic fare. As I keep saying, I think it is important
that as business people and entrepreneurs we look for ways to increase our
business while others are pulling back. While innovation can mean new
technologies (and their costs!), in my experience it is often even better to
figure out a new way to offer your products and services to the market,
leveraging (in a good way!) your existing work.
Today, simply because you are
one of my 1 million closest friends, I have arranged for you to receive absolutely
free and with no strings attached some of the best (if not THE
best) marketing and innovation materials I have ever read, from a long-time
friend of mine who has sold this information for tens of thousands of dollars
(and more!). It is my way of saying thanks for allowing me to come into your
life each week. (The link is near the end of the letter.)
And for those who just want economic
ideas from me, delete this now and move on. Seriously. No problem at all. I get
it. This is not everyone's cup of tea. I offer you this material because it has
made a real difference in my business life and the lives of so many others.
Though I should point out that it's because of how I handle my business that I
can write my weekly letter to you for free. Every week for 11 years. So before
you put me in a "box" of your construction, you might want to take a look
and see what I see. And remember, when I say free, I mean free. If that is not
a good price for you, then…
Now, with that out of the way,
if you can't directly benefit from what I am going to share with you, I bet you
know someone who can (young people starting out?)! Read on…

A Different "Take" on Improving Business Performance
I
want to introduce a little personal note into the difficult times we are facing
as business people, entrepreneurs, and investors. While my economic forecasts
are decidedly not positive for the next 4-6 years, I really do not advocate
digging a hole and crawling into it and pulling a cover over yourself.
Wrong, wrong, wrong! As business
people we need to focus on how to improve our own situations. It is the
collective acts...

Thanks John. It’s amazing all the people you are blessed to have in your “inner circle”.
I actually paid about $1500 for some Jay Abraham materials that included conference calls several years ago. I think my wife wanted to kill me.
I enjoyed his materials a lot as he is fun to listen to, but what made the difference was just 1 idea I picked up during a conference call with him that I was able to turn into not only a better way to run my business, but increased bottom line profit of several thousand dollars per year, for each year since.
Not a lot by Abraham standards, but the best return on my money I have EVER made.
thanks,
Roger.

Thanks, John. I am retired and am an investor. I will read and listen to everything Mr. Abraham has to say and pass it on to my children and grandchildren and anyone else who wants it. I am a depression baby and recall stories of many people who (with their backs to the wall) used their prior unknown natural abilities to work long unpaid hours for themselves or an employer to survive and create many examples of success and increased business.

It took me a while to figure out this entire piece was nothing more than a long commercial.
I enjoy your writings, and understand business has to market its products and services. But my general impression of marketing is negative, probably because I’m the target of marketing almost constantly. Wasn’t it Galbreath that said marketing is nothing more than creating demand where none previously existed?
But I’m not a business guy. I’m an investor. I’ll keep reading your thoughtful and insightful posts on investing and macroeconomics. It’s been helpful and interesting. Your book is on my Christmas list!

Thank you, John (and Abraham)! I will read every word and then use what I think will best help me in my efforts. I am excited to put this to the test. I appreciate you giving this information out free of charge. I am certain it will hep,
