Taking Care Of Business

With health project well on it’s way, the time has come to take care of that, what this whole blog is concentrated on — money and business.

During the last day at my full-day job I’ve decided that I will not look for another job at least for at least another 8 months. If during that period I will not be able to move myself out of this financial hole, I will then look for some part-time job, that will provide me with the basic needs and still let me continue doing that what I love to do.

I still have 8 more months until that, so we better get to work fast.

So what’s the plan?

Currently I have one off-line business venture on my mind. And if everything goes according to the plan, during first days of June we will be visiting potential clients and selling them our service.

Also until the mid of June I have to finish the reconstruction works in my office.

But until then, I have one more unfinished business to take care of — Gary Halbert’s Copywriting challenge.

Since the time when I started it for the first time I’ve noticed that Copywriting skill is probably the most valuable skill that a human-being can learn. In fact, using my basic skills of copywriting, during these 2 months I’ve managed to make my 3 biggest sales ever (the sum of those accumulates to more than $3000), which motivates me to master this skill.

So here’s the list of books, that has Gary recommended:

“Scientific Advertising” - by Claude Hopkins
“The Robert Collier Letter Book” - by Robert Collier
“Tested Advertising Methods” - by John Caples
“How To Write A Good Advertisement” - by Vic Schwab
“The Gary Halbert Letter” (all back issues) - by Gary Halbert
“The Boron Letters” - by Gary Halbert
“The Lazy Man’s Way to Riches” - by Joe Karbo
“Break-Through Advertising” - by Eugene M. Schwartz
“7-Steps To Freedom” - by Ben Suarez

I’ve probably read half of those, but I have no problem re-reading them one more time, although this time I will start from the book that is not in the list. It’s “4 Hour Workweek” - by Tim Ferris.

If you haven’t read it yet — go and get it this instance! This book can change the way you think for ever.
