Warning: Do not attempt another diet until you read...

I'm doing a marketing promo for the January Extreme Regime Fat Burn Formula. Starts next week.

I'll give someone a complimentary $197 Multi Media slot in the program. Here's what I need:

Which of these two intros catches your interest? Give me your choice and specific reasons.

I'll announce a winner tomorrow (Sunday) night, before midnight, EST (New York time)

1. "Warning: Do not attempt another diet
until you read every word of
this controversial report."

2. Can a "diet" be this good?

"OMG, our hamburgers are tasting like steak. This tastes like food I used to eat when I was a child," Carol's hubby.

"I'll never go back to the way I used to eat. Never." Robin

"We are changing our kitchen so we can eat this new way." the Frechs.

(Number 2 is one promo intro.)

CONTEST: Which of these two intros catches your interest? Give me your choice and specific reasons. I'll show you the rest of the winner when it's ready.

I'll announce a winner tomorrow (Sunday) night, before midnight, EST (New York time)

P.S. The latest little 4-minute "cleavage" vid I did for this Fat Burn program is here:

And the Fat Burn Formula "What Is It?" vid is here.

P.P.S. If the program intrigues you, put your info in the space provided on either of the vid pages. I'll get you the goods.

Who's really responsible for your success?

An old bud sends me a note today announcing his new network marketing site. There, they quote my old friend, Art Jonak:

Today I heard Art Jonak say, "The height of maturity is taking full responsibility for where you are today."

Two thoughts as I read this. Does it seem to you that is this directed at folks who are not where they want to be (yet) or - folks you know who are not where you wish them to be?

Now, imagine someone making this same statement - but this time to a room with only self-made folks making millions per year. The handfuls of Wall Street executives to computer builders to top preachers and NMers. That's perhaps 1-2 percent of all of us.

Wouldn't the same words "I have all this because I took responsibility" suddenly seem arrogant and vain?

And often, after attaining great wealth based on intense self-effort, that is the time some wildly successful people credit others. "God gave me my money," said John D. Rockefeller at the end of his life.

Clearly, taking responsibility may be a good and necessary step. (Although even 'necessary' is not always so. Look at top NM folks who literally bumped into someone early in their NM career. And that someone turned out to build a huge organization. Without any help from the sponsor. That was Jeff Olson in NSA. He built a huge business and the gal who sponsored him had no role in his business. It's the story of one of the top NuSkin folks who has 95% of his giant business under one person. She built it, he didn't. That's not unusual.

Still, taking responsibility is a good thing. But it is not a sufficient thing for big success.

Your take?
