Some of you have no clue what it's like to REALLY fail...

My grandpa gave me money to become a co-owner in a business, he had the utmost faith in me... in fact, he didn't even listen to my pitch I had prepared to ask him for money...

He went out of his way to give me money...
And then I failed MISERABLY...

We didn't even make it two years...

We had zero marketing budget...

We had zero clue how to even begin with marketing...

We were a bunch of health & wellness professionals

We had no idea what was coming...
Many of you think you've had it rough

And I don't even consider myself as "having it rough"

I will never forget the days where I wasn't sure I could pay my staff

I was working 60+ hours per week for $0

I sure as hell couldn't pay myself...
And here's the thing that really hurt me the most...

The point of this whole thread...

My grandfather passed away before I could pay him back

He was my hero

That's an entire world of hurt I'll never forget

I wish I could pay him back... now that I can pay him back 10x
But, here's what motivates me out of all of this...

My "thing" that motivates me...

Some day, I will pay him back

I'll give him a monument of some kind that gives back to others

Hundreds of thousands of others to be exact...
This is the stuff that no one talks about

We've all got that inner THING poking it's ugly face out and snarling at us

This is mine, out in the open

It snarls at me when I don't want to wake up at 5am

It snarls at me when I think "good enough"
So, find your inner animal and throw a leash on it

Use it to your advantage

This is mine

I'm working for wealth, yes

But, I'm going to do something special with my wealth some day

Something that gives back to people, just like my grandfather did his entire life

The worst email mistakes you're making (a lot in this corner of Twitter are)

1. Not sending daily emails
2. Not selling in every single email
3. Promoting your email list only a few times per day
4. Not plugging your email on your best tweets
5. Writing lengthy emails

cont...
6. Taking over 10 min to create an email
7. Writing boring ass emails no one gives a shit about
8. Horrible transitions to products "Hey I went to applebee's and the services sucked... UNLIKE THIS PRODUCTTTT"
9. Not plugging your email list enough
10. Copying others styles

cont.
11. Straight sales emails (no entertainment)

13. Providing "massive value!!!"
14. Not focusing on current issues
15. Writing shitty, awful, mere-marketing-mortal subject lines

One of the biggest lies being told to people with mental weakness

“You are more than enough”

Or put another way..

“You are all you need to be”

Here’s why this doesn’t work...
This causes the reader to become complacent

They are not AT ALL where they want to be in life

They read “you don’t need to improve”

They gain nothing from this so called “help”
The “self help guru” is actually doing more harm than good

They are simply banking on the weak minded people never improving and becoming self help orbiters in their universe

There's a big debate over personal branding...

Anons have zero personal brand, other than the profile picture and maybe their alias

Other marketers aren't using personal branding to its fullest potential

A brief thread revealing my thoughts...
Let's look at the hip-hop industry to see how personal branding works

Take the following examples...

Gucci mane
Lil Wayne
Rick Ross

How do they personally brand themselves?
One way they all do it (and most any rapper) is by having a certain saying or noise related to their brand

For example... Lil Wayne songs can be recognized by fans when he sparks the lighter

That's instant recognition with his songs

Instant recognition with his brand

So, you have already decided #Budget2019 is an election bribe and BJP didn't do anything these four years? And that this splurge is an unnecessary waste?
Somethings for you to ponder over.
1. For a two-member family, commodity expenses came down by almost 2500/month
2. The tax you pay came down by 12500 four budgets ago
3. Someone paid for Ujala, Ujwala, OROP and a thousand such. India isn't open defecation free or fully electrified all of a sudden - someone did that.
4. Every penny saved is every penny earned. Riots, bomb blasts, everything came down drastically. Just Mumbai attacks costed India 4 lakh crores. Think of the money saved for India, besides giving us a better place g in the world.

Holiday shopping tip for retailers: If you're going to offer live customer support, know that it will always set the standard for your brand value. #Fail to communicate clearly, or provide resolution with integrity, and you lose not only the customer but their influence network.
Whatever complaints we may have about @amazon, their customer support is generally excellent, and so their customers stick with them. Features offered tend to work, and problems are resolved with the minimum possible fuss. Sadly, other brands, attempting to compete, fall short.
While @amazon is presently having a tough time breaking into bricks and mortar grocery sales (@WholeFoods), I anticipate they will eventually crack that nut. @Walmart started poorly with its online presence, but has been learning from its mistakes, and improving well.

We believe #Abuja should have a modern #football club for everyone & we ’re making it happen with @AbujaMetroFC. This series of tweets highlights our 3-year start-up plan. #AbujaMetroFC @youriplawyer_ @dejigbenro @fchiejine @Suraj35766 @UucheGE @Donfiazo @ELEGBETE1
Our goal is to establish a modern football club that the entire Abuja Metropolis can embrace. Our vision is for #AbujaMetroFC to become a model professional football club and grow to compete at the highest level of association football.
With the tested & trusted #CommunityOwnership model. Anyone can become a co-owner of #AbujaMetroFC. We will not need money bags to start & grow our own football club, just a group of people making token contributions, which gives them a % of the ownership of the club.

Corbyn has a 10 year close link with a group of known holocaust deniers.

It’s run by Paul Eisen, who publicly admits to being a holocaust denier, even writing a book called ‘my life as a holocaust denier’. >>
In a blog post Eisen describes Corbyn as “a long standing associate.” >> theguardian.com/politics/2015/…
Fellow organiser and holocaust denier, Gill Kaffash, was also close to Corbyn for many years >> telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/2…

(THREAD) The BREAKING NEWS that Trump cheated on Melania with porn star "Stormy Daniels"—then used his lawyer as a "fixer" to pay six-figure hush-money a few weeks before the 2016 election—is relevant to the Russia inquiry. I hope you'll read on to see how, and share with others.
1/ First, here's a link to an article about this breaking news in THE HILL (the news was originally reported by THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, which is behind a paywall):
2/ Second, understand that I'd don't care about Trump's private life—his sex life or otherwise—except to the extent it affects national security. Unfortunately, when you're a public figure—particularly the POTUS—the possibility of blackmail is real and a national security threat.
