2006 - the 700 million dollar man

No. I wouldn’t be who I am today without the
wild ride Gary and I shared over several years.

Nevertheless, what I offer is unique and different. After all this
time, I’ve earned a place at the Hall of Fame table, beside Gary and the other
veterans who’ve earned a little hard-won notoriety.

When Gary needs some honest, deep advice from
someone he trusts... he calls me. And when I need a reality check, I call Gary.

We’ve been Hot Seating each other for fifteen
years.

And the winner...

Is You.

If you’re ready.

Gary asked me to create a special package,
just for his subscribers. And I have done so.

Let’s call this “The
Carlton Blackmail Package”... because that’s what he’s done. Twisted
my arm, until I agreed to give away the farm here.

I’ve got a few things on the bastard. But he’s
got just as much on me. We’re at a stalemate, each holding nasty
expose material neither wants daylight shed on.

If you’ve been following Gary for any length of
time, you know that he and I rib each other viciously. (What’d he call me last
year in a newsletter... a “lapdog”? And then complained to me that too
many people didn’t get the joke... because, as he said, I was so OBVIOUSLY one of
his best and closest friends, and why in the world would he seriously
disrespect a friend like that?) (I got him back, though. Our practical jokes
on each other go on for years, and they’re brutal.)

But all
that ribbing comes from deep mutual respect. Most people don’t
realize what a meeting among insiders in the business world is actually like.
(Which is why I recorded a bunch of phone calls I had with Gary and Dan Kennedy
and other insiders, called The Scuttlebutt Tapes -- I wanted to catch the way we
really talked to each other on tape, for posterity. Plus, it’s a vicious
education in real-world advanced marketing.)
