This is how it’s done, straight from the mouth of someone who made it…
I have been an entrepreneur for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a little place called Chardon, Ohio. That’s just outside of Cleveland.
When I was a kid, probably 8,10 years old, I was selling seeds door to door. He wanted that set of walkie-talkies as a kid and if you sold enough seeds you got a pair of walkie-talkies.
I saw a space ad on the back cover of a comic. You see them all the time selling greeting cards or selling seeds. I lived in a farming community so I thought it would be nice to do it and sure enough, it was a great…
When I ordered the little kit, it came with a release. I just walked over and with a cold knock on the door I gave my speech.
I got those walkie-talkies and my friends and played army men with midnight missions with our walkie-talkies and had a great time. My career as an entrepreneur was established from that moment. A space ad had changed my life.
I used to just because of those ads in The Charles Atlas and Mike Marvel comics. They motivated me a lot and when I got a little older, I saw the ad in ’78, I guess it was, by Joe Karbo, The Lazy Man’s Way To Riches, and I said, that’s for me! That’s just what I wanted to do.
Today I consider myself the most important type of space advertising in the world. I went through a couple hundred old comics and copied all those space ads.
I took space ads very seriously when I was 12 years old. My dad was an engineer. He traveled all over the world and one summer he took us to Aruba. I didn’t know anyone there and I had a stack of comics that I bought at a local drug store there in Oranjestad in Aruba and I stayed in my room and read these comics.
Once again, I was very touched by these space announcements. I liked the psychology that the editors were using to get to the center of my soul.
They knew this was exactly what I wanted. I was amazed because they seemed to understand me so well. They never met me and I wonder how the hell these guys do this and they understand me so well and know exactly what I want, when I want it, to the point where I wanted it.
I don’t think intellectually I fully understood it at the time. It wasn’t until the ’70s that I got the Karbo stuff, that’s when my desire to be able to write like that and sell stuff really started to develop.
I first saw the Karbo ad in a magazine called Free Enterprise, a great magazine that no longer exists, but at the time it was one of the leading opportunity magazines. They were just loaded with opportunities. This was one of them.
So, I ordered your book. After I got the book, I devoured it.
The first part of the book with the attitude thing I really liked because I’m kind of the spiritual guy to begin with. I like psychology and in a way I understood that inherent. He really didn’t have to be sold on that part of the book. I was reading Think and Grow Rich and all the self-help books, the Dale Carnegie stuff before I found Karbo. So, that was a natural for it. It just entered my psyche.
After reading that book, I launched my first direct mail project. The rest, as they say, is history.
