It's Not The Money That's
Stopping You... It's Your
Screwed-Up Mind-Set!
How could you... little plain nobody you ever hope to work with a... a... a... a movie star?
Impossible! Shit man, all you've got to offer them is some money. And you... you are nobody...
DON'T YOU EVERY FORGET THAT!
BULLSHIT!
It's not your bank account that's important, it's your balls. Tell you what: If you believe you are unworthy of working with a celebrity... you are right!
And, if you believe you are worthy of working with a celebrity... YOU ARE ALSO RIGHT!
It's all in your head, Bubba... it's all in your head.
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
Gary C. Halbert
PS:
I know, I know. I've written about this business of using a celebrity to pump up your profits before. However, way too few of my readers have actually done it. So, I'm hoping maybe the approach I used in…

Now, what's your excuse, you dingbat?

Dear Bond,
This letter is going to be the first in a long series of letters in which I will attempt to communicate to you a lot of the important things I have learned in the last 46 years.
I am going to try to teach you what I have learned about selling by mail, getting and staying healthy, how to get along with people, and, in general, how to have a good life without getting yourself all screwed up. There will also be stuff about sex, drugs and rock and roll! I'm going to try to write…
Also, I intend to reread these letters myself after I am finished and use them as source material for a book I have wanted to write for a long time. The book, unless I come up with a better title, will be called:
How To Be Your Own Messiah
These letters will ramble around somewhat. I'm going to try to keep the flow going so I am not going to slow down to edit these letters and, therefore, don't expect them to be as precisely written as my ads and other writings.
Anyway, let's get started. As you know, today is my birthday and, strange as it may seem, it hasn't been a bad one under the circumstances. For one thing I got your birthday letter and the cards your Mom sent me and, for another, today is the first day I was able to run "the hill" non-stop…
You know what? When I came in here, just three weeks ago, it was hard for me just to walk once around that darn hill. And, before I am finished, I'll bet you I can run around that hill ten times (8 miles) without stopping.
Well, anyway, this all leads me to the first and most important thing I want to write about which is improving and maintaining your health and physical fitness. I'll have a lot more to say about this subject later but today I just want to "warm up" a little bit and tell you a few good ideas that you…
In fact, in my opinion, the best groove to get into is get out of bed, (early) wash your face, brush your teeth, use the bathroom, etc., and then, eat a piece of fruit (I think a banana is the best) and then hit the street! That's it. Just get out that front door and start moving. Walk, run…
By the way, this addiction is not just psychological. It is a real honest-to-God drug addiction. But don't let that scare you. This is what's known as a positive addiction. A positive addiction is simply being addicted to something (like exercise) that improves the quality of your life. A negative addiction, on the other hand, is…
What happens when you do road work is that, after about forty minutes, your brain begins to secrete what some people refer to as "survival chemicals". The names of these chemicals, as far as I know, are beta endorphins and norephinphrine. Some people say these chemicals are 200 times stronger than morphine and, in my opinion, the feeling you get…
If I seem to be going on and on about this it is because it is so important and it is something you can do right away! And, actually, of everything I have learned about in my entire life, this stuff about doing road work the first thing in the morning is very close to being the most important thing…
So I really hope you get started on this morning road work program as soon as you get this letter and I also hope it becomes a habit for all the rest of your life.
I Love You and Good Luck!
Dad
P.S. Please get me a copy of "The Joy of Running" by Theodore Kostrubala.
Sincerely,
Gary C. Halbert
P.S. You want to do some of your friends a favor? Have them read my book "The Boron Letters"... even if... they are not interested in marketing. Why? Because this book also deals with life... and... they will be able to benefit from these experiences.
Peace.

Dear Bond,
Today I crossed some sort of invisible mental line. It happened when I went for my initial meeting with the people who run the camp here and found out that they are total jerks. What happened as a result of that is…
You know Bond, I can't stress how strong I feel that doing an hour's worth of road work is perhaps the number one most valuable habit you can cultivate. You see, if you start your day this way, it will get you off to a great start and vastly improve the rest of your day since it will…
Plus, after you get into it, it will make you feel great!
So anyway, here are some other good health habits that I think you should get into right away.
FASTING - You are, in my opinion, too young to go on any extended fasts but I really think it would be good for you to fast one (1) full day…
