Wow. the nerve of some people… or am I making a big deal about nothin’?

So I get an email from a JV Partner of my recently launched Giveaway site. Now mind you, this email was in reply to an offer that I made just the other day to all of my JV Partners letting them know that I was willing to showcase their gift to the entire database of members of the site.

This would most likely result in getting them a very high opt in conversion since, well it’s an exclusive mailing to the whole database just talking about their product! Well, check out the reply that this person sent me. I have removed their name from this because I feel that he has suffered enough embarrassment already from reading my reply.

But the reason that I post it here is because I believe that there is a lesson that we can all learn in this. Let’s see if you can pick it up in this exchange.

Oh and by the way, It could just be that maybe I approached this in the wrong way. If you would’ve handled this differently, do me a favor: let me know by commenting your opinion below. I am always looking to learn something new and seeing things from a different perspective:

“Hi Ruddy

Thanks for your offer, but as I have about 8 x as many registrations per day, and you are not really on the edge of your alliances, I would say thank you this time, for your offer, I am not interested, or certainly not until you do investigate my before writings to you, and see that my offer made to your Group, is the best in the Whole service you would have to offer.

But since you decided not to look into it and you prefer something that has a much lower value and rather think or use your talents for your own customers let be informed that I am very disappointed.

Therefore I real doubt that your service is as good as it sounds. When the owner is sleeping or ignoring what he has received, just because he believes he is big nodge in the Industry, and has so much to share. Well Rudy I have so much more to offer than your own services I streched out my hand to you, and you are not getting it.

Can you believe this guy?

Ok, even I have to admit…while his arrogant confidence is obvious, it really got to me. I mean, you seriously have to have some really big … … well, you have to be very full of yourself to write someone an email like that!

So after a nice ride in my car running errands and some time to pray, I mustered up enough calmness to reply to this guy. Here’s what I wrote:

Slave Girl: “What do you want?”
Achilles: “The same things all men want…only I want it more.”
- Troy, 2004

You want financial freedom, do ya? Interesting. *yawn* So do the masses.

Tell me something more important…

How bad do you want it?

Your real and true answer to this question will tell me your likelihood of ever achieving it. I wouldn’t know how honest your answer is of course unless I saw your facial expression when you responded.

Words lie. Faces don’t.

If you and I were sitting down for lunch and you asked me that question, my answer would send shivers down your spine. You would feel my sincerity and determination in the bitter roots of your twisted soul. There would be no doubt in your mind that there is something different about me and the average Joe.

That’s how bad I want it.

What is it that you really want? No matter what your average person might respond to this question with, 9 out of 10 people, in reality, want nothing more than to be comfortable.

That simply is not going to cut it.

This world is not a bed or a couch. It is a battlefield.

This is not Romper Room. This is war.

You know, it’s amazing. Now that we are in 2008 (where did 2007 go?!?!), allot of people tend to reflect on the past 12 months and begin to take inventory.

They start setting new year’s resolutions and thinking about the goals that they want to achieve in the coming new year. This is great. As a matter of fact, I’ll be bold enough to predict that you who are reading this now will be in one of three groups of people come this same time next year:

1. The proud few who will dramatically change their lives by actually setting realistic goals, staying focused, taking massive action and assimilating them into their everyday lifestyles and living out their dreams.

2. The bigger crowd who will start with hopeful wishes to do something different this year but will hardly even think about, let alone take the necessary steps to realize anything barely two weeks into the new year.

3. The biggest group of all- The ones who gave up on dreaming and settle for the “good enough” life that they manage to eek out. They are ok with living paycheck to paycheck, taking a one week vacation once a year (IF their slave master- I mean boss says it’s ok), gaining 50 pounds and letting life just push them around-accepting everything that comes along allowing it to become their destiny.

So sad.

Some even believe that everything that happens, good or bad ,is totally God’s Will for their lives so they don’t even think that trying to change anything is worth the effort! (Not that God doesn’t allow bad things to happen to his children; but not all “bad” things are bad and certainly not all “good” things are good! But that’s for another post…)

Listen to me: If you are one of the rare beings walking around the face of the earth that actually knows without a shadow of doubt that you were made for greatness; if you are like me who has a fire shut up in your bones that doesn’t allow you to settle for the “good life” ; if you are sick and tired of being told how you can live your life, where you can go and what you can and cannot do and you have made a conscious choice to radically change your life this new coming year, then you are the type of person that will appreciate the sheer wisdom that I am about to share with you here today.

Don’t just skim over this article my friend, no no! Cling to every word as if your life depended on it…I can promise you this: if you want to truly experience an explosive 2008, then it actually does!

Hi There, Happy New Year!

I’ve been thinking about what to write for my loyal and faithful fans who have been jones’ing the last few months anxiously anticipating the next episode of the Ruddy-licious  and life enriching blog of mine.

So since we are at the beginning of a new year, I know for a fact that many of you are in the process of “siking yourselves up” and preparing to go head on with some of the new year’s resolutions that you said you would accomplish this year.  Well, let me share with you a great article that a good friend and personal mentor of mine just wrote…I think it will put it all into perspective for you… you’re welcome- and yes, I take cash donations.

Make Your New Years Resolutions And Keep Them AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!
by Preston

“New Years resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account.”
~Oscar Wilde

“New Year’s Day:  Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions.  Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.”
~Mark Twain

There are times to use nova cane, and there are times to tie your tooth to the door and slam it shut as hard as possible.
Guess which time this is.

Have you written new years resolutions?

I have one thing to say to you:
AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
HAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Oh my gosh you are so funny, friend.  I swear you are my funniest friend that I have.  Now I remember why I keep you around and don’t delete you.

You make me laugh. 

You really do.

New Years Resolutions work about as good as diets. 
They work almost as good as mutual funds and 401ks (PLEASE tell me you don’t have either of those two things because I’m out of breath and I have a cramp and I don’t have it in me for more laughs).

They work about as good as ANYthing Suze Orman has to say out of her weird looking mouth.  (fix your teeth Suze.  You’re rich I thought)

When I was a young boy growing up,  I became very impressionable. This turned out to be something that most of the time worked against me since I always seemed to attract the wrong crowd around me.

My grandfather would always tell me "Dime con quíen andas y te dire quien tu eres". Tell me who you associate with and I will tell you who you are. Wow…little did I know just how much wisdom there was and still is in that saying.

We usually hear that “birds of the same feather flock together.” We are subjected to opinions depending on the circle of friends that we keep.

Those words are not just a fancy parable that makes us sound smart when we say it, it is in fact a Law that governs Human Nature!

To prove my point to you, I’m going to encourage you do a quick exercise. I promise that after you do this, your life will never be the same and you will look at how you invest your time and with whom more carefully. Let’s begin!

You can successfully delegate almost EVERYTHING in your business.

Really.

And I can teach you exactly how to do it… in a way that will truly free up your time and energy to focus on higher and higher value efforts.

But if you get “addicted” to delegating things, or you delegate ONE thing that you shouldn’t, you can find yourself in a very expensive situation.

You see, we entrepreneurs who have started our own businesses just LOVE the idea of having others “working for us”… so that we can sit behind our desk and let the money just flow into our bank accounts.

It’s a great, inspiring image.

I’d like to teach you five things that you should NEVER delegate (not entirely, anyway).

Delegate these at your own risk and peril.
