Grab What's Between Your Legs!
Crude title for this post but I think it's necessary.
I subscribe to many different mailing lists because I like to see what people are writing, teaching, promoting, etc. More importantly, I like to see the style in which they do it.
It's a great way to learn about marketing, copywriting, and salesmanship. One of my favorites is Frank Kern, which isn't really a surprise because he's huge in the internet marketing world.
Today I was going through my many, many mailing list emails and ran across an email from Frank about a new blog post he had just submitted. It's a great story about the very first female self-made millionaire. I highly suggest you read it.

Basically the moral of the story is that this woman was able to pull herself from the most miserable conditions and conquer the odds, and the world, during a time where every possible chip was stacked against her.
I won't go too far into it but she was an African American daughter of slaves, widowed mother, had a skin condition and lived in the extremely racist deep south during the 1860's.
She built her empire by selling her own products door to door!
Grab Your Nuts!
When I was in the ARMY we were always told to "grab our nuts" and just "knock it out!" Basically means to stop being scared and just get it done.
We all could use a jolt of motivation at times. I know I could use it daily! In fact I've been pretty down on myself today because I was supposed to be done with a project I'm working on last night, but I'm only about 40% done. Other things have popped up and really screwed my plans for the week.
Now after reading that article I've decided to put my damn nose to the grind stone and just get it done. It gave me the little jolt I needed to get out of the funk and take care of business!
So if you're in a funk and are not sure what to do about it, just grab your nuts (even if they're metaphorical — for the ladies reading this) and take care of your self and your business. Don't let fear of
Some Stuff About Me
Hey there. My name is Peter. I am a father, geek, entrepreneur, developer, motorcycle enthusiast, party animal, horrible poker player, and a bit of a degenerate... and I'm OK with that.
I co-founded 2 small internet companies and managed to escape with a few more dollars in my pocket than when I started. The money was nothing (literally) but the lessons learned were invaluable to me!
These days I run a tiny company that keeps it's hands in as many cookie jars as possible. I focus on software development, internet/email/affiliate marketing, business/process automation, website and sales funnel conversions/tracking, and information product development/sales.
