Whether you own a business, work for a business,
are unemployed, retired or a student — you can
honestly, successfully, immediately and massively
profit from ALL the financial and economic crisis
we’re dealing with today.

How? Many different and lucrative ways.

For your business, for instance. Say, advertising
stops working well — but it’s still doing
modestly. All your competitors stop advertising,
because they don’t want to pay to throw money down
the drain.

So even more of their business dries up as they
stop altogether, too, generating any new prospects
or buyers. Plus, the advertising media sees their
sales drop drastically.

But YOU learn how to turn adversity into a
prosperity strategy with advertising.

You use the Power Partnering lessons you learned
from me to go out and do all kinds of exclusive
deals with publications, online and offline media -
– whatever specific media reaches YOUR target
market.

Only, instead of spending your own precious capital
up-front — you structure your deals where you
only pay them for results — meaning sales in your
bank account.

So now, you’re getting tens of thousands, hundreds
of thousands…even millions of dollars every month
in no-cost advertising for which you ONLY pay if
(and after) you profit.

A flood of additional sales, prospects, buyers flow
to you like a tidal wave of prosperity — while
all your linear-minded competitors are dying on the
vine.

Or…say you need equipment, inventory, or
staffing. But you have no capital or credit
available to pay for them…nor do any of your
competition.

They all stop, freeze and bypass-altogether, any
thought of doing anything that might dramatically
grow their business in crazy times. They just want
to cling by their fingernails to whatever business
they can still hold onto.

But YOU use Power Partnering to acquire all the
assets, access, human capital you need. In fact,
you quickly realize you have unlimited (literally
infinite) access to whatever you need — no
capital even required on your part.

It’s almost like having an unlimited checkbook to
grow with.

You go to equipment companies who have equipment
just sitting in their warehouse — and you work
out Power Partnering deals.

In doing this, you either pay them on a performance
basis that’s tied to increased sales or profit your
business generates — using their equipment.

Or, you do a deal where you pay them zero now, and
defer making any payment whatsoever UNTIL your
sales hit a mutually agreed upon target.

Or you give them a long-term profit interest in a
new profit center or income source you create, by
using their dormant equipment. There are dozens of
cash-less ways to do the deal…once you learn
Power Partnering.

If you need people — skilled, talented people you
don’t need to pay out fat salaries (that you can’t
afford). Instead, you convert them to independent
contractors.

And only pay them in direct proportion to the
income or revenue or sales — or the result in
expense reduction or slashed overhead they produce.

I know a dozen ways to do those kinds of deals,
using my Power Partnering methods.

Want to buy a business — or many businesses, but
have no capital? You can use Power Partnering to
get control of all kinds of entrepreneurial
business — using zero capital on our part.

Zero downside or future risk, either…IF you
structure it right.

When all the banks stop making business loans, YOU
can easily and continuously get the equivalent of
whatever the proceeds of those loans would acquire
or pay for — ALWAYS paying for it out of the
results or profits or in soft dollars — instead
of hard.

We’re only talking about your own business right
now.

But say you work for a business that needs any of
the scenarios we’ve identified above.

Guess what?

Using Power Partnering techniques, you can make
them all happen for your employer.

BUT rather than doing it as a nice, uncompensated
gesture of loyalty to get you “brownie points” —
you do it for an ongoing, hefty participation in
the income, profit or revenues that the things you
make happen produce for your employer.

Its gets better.

Since just about every business out there, large or
small, retail or wholesale, local or international,
is struggling and dazed AND confused — you can
swoop down and offer to arrange any of the 120 key
“Needs” they have — ranging from generating more
buyers to reducing costs to adding new profit
centers, to providing more space and employees all
on a no-cost, up-front basis to them.

You can even provide businesses with entire new
product lines and services they can offer to their
existing and future buyers to multiply the profits
they make off them — many times over.

And, again, with YOU sharing richly in all that
windfall income your Power Partnering deals
generate for them.

My point?

Using the Power Partnering techniques I have
developed, refined and perfected, you can help just
about any business you own, work for OR want to
work with (and profit from) — to thrive in a
crisis economy.

You can be their savior — or your own.

You can be their financier, their banker, their no
cost staffing source, their make-it-happen
“connection” to no cost advertising, their ticket
to immense prosperity in a time when the rest of
the business world is crumbling and retreating.

But you can’t thrive and prosper…your business or
employer can’t explode with profits. You can’t
capitalize on any business in distress out there
(which is just about every business).

And you definitely can’t create tremendous
prosperity for yourself — until and unless you
master the principles and philosophy of Power
Partnering.

Space doesn’t allow me to explain all the
unimaginably lucrative ways I’ve figured out for
you to apply Power Partnering to any business
situation out there (yours or anyone else’s).

But it offers you the one pathway to prosperity I
know WILL work for you in any situation you find
yourself in — right now (without you taking on
any risk).

We’re conducting the first ever, three day Super
Summit, strictly focused on teach people Power
Partnering. The program runs October 24th thru
October 26th in Los Angeles.

There’s never been anything offered — by anyone
else — in any field that comes close to the
profitable certainty and ease of use — that my
Power Partnering methods can deliver for your bank
account, bottom line and long-term net worth.

I try to encourage everyone I can to learn anything
I know about that can give them tremendous profit
performance and earnings advantage in difficult
times.

I can honestly say I’ve never seen times more
trying, outright scary and “dastardly difficult”
than these times we’re facing, right now.

Many (probably most) business owners,
professionals, employers, homeowners, investors,
retirees and students, alike, will be agonizingly,
painfully and brutally affected. Their life will
be impaired, maybe even shattered.

But, YOU can escape, unscathed.

You can sail through all the shrapnel and
“collateral damage” that cripples, fells, or
totally destroys so many others — by mastering
this prosperity force: Power Partnering, I’m that
offering to openly teach you — right now.

I’m saying, simply, that by October 27th 2008, you
can be armed with the formidable, invincible,
almost Midas-like ability to capitalize on business
and economic adversity in ways and at levels of
achievement you can’t possibly fathom.

I’m saying, your life can be forever transformed
for the better very, very quickly.

You won’t have the fear, worry or negative impact
in your business, job, or investment performance,
even if the world goes to hell in a hand basket.

But none of this is possible IF you don’t
participate in this Power Partnering Super Summit,
the one time I’m doing the pilot program.

I’ve made participating irresistible.

You can pay me — predominately, in modest monthly
installments — AFTER you start harvesting the
benefits. You can try out the first segment — at
home — before you have to fully even commit any
binding way.

I’m even offering people on my list a steep, one-
time price reduction over what people outside are
paying. I can’t do any more to make this timely,
propitious, and invaluably attractive for you.

Everything is laid out on a recorded 90-minute
Overview Session we did for our best people last
week. If you want to hear it, run to
www.abraham.com/infosession immediately.

But don’t go there unless you have the time,
attention and interest to listen to it in its
entirety.

The program is in 3 weeks. No matter who you are,
what you do, where you live — YOU should
seriously consider my proposal to attend.

We also have an exciting and interactive way you
can even participate at home IF your schedule won’t
allow you to join us in Los Angeles in person.

To hear the 90-minute overview, go right now to
www.abraham.com/infosession.

I can’t be more emphatic and serious. You need
THIS important knowledge. I’m probably the only
man in the entrepreneurial world who has it and
wants to openly share it with you — without risk.

You really don’t have a better alternative, option
or game plan or play book available on how to
capitalize on this crisis.

I have the answers you seek and need. I know the
precise moves and maneuvers that will take you from
fear to fortune.

You need to grab-it, NOW! Check out the overview
and generous offer we made on that audio-
recording. It’s YOUR business future, YOUR career
future, and YOUR financial future.

I’m just trying to protect it and help assure your
survival — and that you thrive.

I’m just trying to protect and multiply your
business, employer and families the success and the
level of financial prosperity you enjoy for years
and decades to come.

Again, go to www.abraham.com/infosession.

Hope this moves you out of despair and into
prosperous “Action Mode.” Remember, the event is
in just three more weeks. But there’s a home study
option available, too.

Regards,

Jay

In this “Constraint-Busting” Teleseminar, they’ll talk about the tools you need to eliminate those walls and finally achieve the wealth, freedom, and lifestyle you deserve.

Plus, they’ll talk about some of their personal constraints they’ve faced over the years, and how they overcame them.

You can download the mp3 and pdf of the teleconference here:

Along the way, this site also got hacked and it took me a bit of effort to restore it.

Going ahead, I think the frequency of my updates will be one post every one or two months.

Anyway, just a quick update of what Jay Abraham is currently offering. In case you haven’t got his email, he’s conducting a course on doing joint ventures. The three classes via teleconference will be held over the next two weeks.

You can find out more details about the joint venture course here.

“Stay Hungry Stay Foolish” - those was the parting words of Steve Jobs for his commencement speech at Stanford in 2005.

I chanced upon his inspiring speech on youtube, and thought I would share it with you here.

Life is about connecting the dots, and you can only do it when you look back, never when you look forward. Believing that the dots will somehow connect in the future will give you the confidence to follow your heart.

Sometimes, life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. You got to find what you love - and that is true for work as well as for your lover. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.

If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you will most certainly be right. Remembering that he will be dead soon is the most important tool Steve uses to help him make the big choices in life. Almost everything fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.

Stay hungry, stay foolish.

You can engineer a continuous array of quantitative breakthroughs in strategies, marketing, innovation and management by travelling outside your business and industry. These are a few ways you can do it:

1. Get your friends in other industries to pass you their trade journals and all the selling presentations they get.
2. Look at all the different advertisements in different magazines and newspapers.
3. Take time off when you are moving around. Stop at different retail facilities and let them sell you.
4. Look at signages when you drive.
5. Study other topics you have never studied before.
6. Go to Amazon and look at the top business books. Look at other topics.
7. Get students to read a book for you every week and summarise it.
8. Start contacting high performing people in different industries and offer to exchange ideas.

Concept of Attriction

Most companies don’t even have a clue which of their customers become inactive.

There are three reasons why this happens and they are easily corrected.

1) They had an interruption in their life and they stop transacting with you through no fault of yours. Contact them in person, by phone, letter, email or fax. Tell them sincerely you are concerned about them.

2) They had a bad experience with you.

It is critical you don’t allow that situation to persist. Again, you have to contact them and offer to remedy the situation.

3) The client stops having a use for your product or service.

That is not a reason to stop contacting them. Instead it is a good opportunity to get referrals from them.

All three are great ways to grow your business but you can’t do that unless you know who the inactive customers are.

Quote from Jay Abraham: “If you want to be interesting, all you have to do is to be interested. If you want to be respected, all you have to do is to respect. If you want to be loved, all you have to do is to love. If you want to be desired, all you have to do is to desire.“

Joe Girard is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the most successful salesman, selling 13,001 cars at a Chevrolet dealership in Detroit between 1963 & 1978. All the sales were retail and non-wholesale sales of first hand vehicles.

Joe started his speech by telling us that if anyone wants to tell (sell) us a secret, we should run away. These are some of the other things that Joe shared.

1. Success is the result of staying focused and taking one step at a time. By staying focused, we have time to plant our seeds. There are certain actions that will “kill” us.
   • Sneaking away from work to play a little golf.
   • Having a long lunch or leaving early.
   • Having a sideline.
2. If you are in sales, you should avoid having lunch with our work colleagues. Everyday, we should have a lunch appointment that will help us build our business. It would be even better if they were positive people.
3. Always smile and listen. “I like you” is Joe’s golden mantra.
4. It’s all about service. The real sale begins after the sale. The service is what differentiates the salespeople from one another. One thing that Joe did was to send his customers a thank you card and follow up with another phone call a few days later. He also sends them a referral card offering to reward his customers for giving him referrals.
5. He also sends them a handwritten greeting card every month of the year. The number of cards reached more than 16,000 per month and he had to hire people to help him do it. As a result of the repeated exposure to Joe, such was his customers’ impression of Joe that when Guineess Book of World Records started to call up some of them to audit his sales, all of the buyers could recall Joe by name. Everyone in the family knew who Joe was.
6. Giving out tons of his namecards is another of Joe’s strategy.
7. Organise and plan your day beforehand.

The ideas all seem very simple but in my opinion, the key thing that makes Joe Girard successful is the extra mile he takes to keep in touch with all his customers and potential clients.

On another note, if you think you like to implement something similar to Joe’s greeting card strategy, this tool might be useful.

Without going into details, here’s the list of the 17 stratagems. Try to think about these in the context of your own business.

1. Having an effective vision for yourself, your business and the world.
2. Focus on bringing value to all your stakeholders, not just your clients.
3. Knowing yourself (and what you are not)
4. Recognise your value and your contributions.
5. Become great in (at least) one thing.
6. Having a personal and professional philosophy to base all your decisions on.
7. Having consistency and knowing what you are willing/unwilling to do.
8. Gravitate towards greatness.
9. Have the end in mind and know what it is.
10. Know the potential impact of your vision and actions.
11. Having a clear plan that includes both strategies and tactics.
12. Keep making incremental improvements. Look for quantum leaps via innovation.
13. Systemize, measure and manage.
14. Be consistent and accountable about your vision and goals.
15. Be flexible.
16. Develop alternative strategies if it doesn’t work and expansion strategies if it works better than expected.
17. Master “trisight” - foresight, insight and hindsight.

And in case you were wondering, no, I was not at the event.

The headline is a critical aspect of your marketing as it is the opening statement to a prospect before they decide whether they want to do anything else. You want to convey to the prospect compelling benefits so that he is intrigued to carry on.

Don’t think of headlines as only the title on a salesletter. It can also exist in various other formats:

• The opening phrase you use in person or on the phone to greet a prospect
• The banner you use
• The signage on your shop or vehicle
• The subject heading in your email or fax
• The beginning of your advertisement or brochure

Here are some examples of test-tested headlines. You can think of modifing some of them to suit you needs. This is the fastest way to create your own headlines.

• The Secret of Making People Like You
• A Little Mistake that Costs a Farmer $3000 a Year
• Advice to Why Husbands Don’t Save Money
• Are You Ever Tounge-Tied at a Party?
• How I Improve My Memory in One Evening
• Discover the Fortune that Lies Hidden in Your Cellar
• How I Made a Fortune with a Fool Idea
• Whose Fault is it When Children Disobey
• How a New Kind of Clay Improved my Complexion in 30 Days
• 6 Types of Investors - Which Group Are You In?
• How Much is Worker Tension Costing Your Company?

If you want to craft your own headline from scratch, here are some methods of framing you can adopt in writing it:

• Measure the size of the claim
• Measure the speed of the claim
• Comparing the claim
• Metaphorise the claim
• Sensatise the claim
• Demonstrate the claim showing examples
• State the claim as a paradox
• Remove limitations from a claim
• Associate the claim with other people whom the prospect can identify
• Show how much in detail the claim does
• Offer information how to accomplish the claim
• Tie authority to the claim
• Before and after claim
• State the claim as a case history question

The last two aspects of a direct mail package are the lift note and the order device.

Lift Note

To summarise and restate the entire essence of the offer and the payoff for the reader.

Order or response device

Can be an order form they can fax or mail back.

Don’t just think of direct mail as a one dimensional tool for getting sales.

Among other things, direct mail can be used to uncover leads, setup appointments, sell a product or service, presell a call, follow up on a call, follow up on a sale, provide continual updates, announcement of new products and promotions.

Regretfully, I won’t be able to make it for the event. I’ve been extremely busy with some financial stuff that I’m getting into.

Here’s the email from Jay with details for the call:

—————————–

It’s funny. When you’re committed to something that’s truly meaningful — and important to you - you’ll do things you’d never agree to do, normally.

Well, my staff told me we’ve received not a few - but a TON of questions and issues posed by people on our list asking all kinds of probing things.

Such as what IS so special different, important and essential about attending my upcoming ReunionReunion in Los Angeles on April 8th, 9th, and 10th.

I don’t do Q & A anymore unless I’m paid an absolute bundle. The last time I did it I received $150,000 for a few hours of my authoritative-based, perspective.

But I am so absolutely, totally and passionately committed to my upcoming ReunionReunion that I’ve decided to compile all the diverse (and impressive array of sincere) questions we’ve received about ReunionReunion.

I have answered them live, in person by teleconference - one time, only.

Three thousand people have told us that they’re coming to ReunionReunion — once I help them answer one or two remaining questions.

As impressive as that sounds - and it is, I respect the people who take action and are decisive the most.

Also, the entire room will be lucky to accommodate 1,000 of you — and we already have a significant group of attendees registered.

I’ve got room for 1,000 people at the live event.

I will rebroadcast it this week, via scheduled playback. The scheduled replay is as follows:

Thursday, March 27 at 7pm Pacific Time

To access the replay just dial (512) 225-3563 and use 775093# as the access code.

I don’t do downloads at will - because I don’t believe that people take it as seriously as they do when they schedule time for listening.

If you are serious about coming - you’d probably be wise to listen to the rebroadcast.

If you’re unavailable but seriously interested - sign up immediately for one of the replays.

I can’t tell you how passionately committed I am to this-one, specific event. You’ll hear why if you’re on this call.

Regards,

Jay Abraham
