For those of you stumbling over the ins, outs, and technical mumbo-jumbo of getting a website up, or maybe you’re caught under the avalanche of information you have to wade through just to make the simplest of decisions…
I’ve got a Christmas package with your name written all over it!
Actually, I have 2 packages, but there’s no way they’ll fit in your stocking.
In these two gifts you’ll find most of what you need to know to get a website up and running, created in the simplest to understand method I’ve seen up to this point.
I know you’ve probably heard this before, but if I’d had this package 3 or 4 years ago, it would have changed history!
Well, at least my history;-)
Ya know what the biggest problem you’ll have with this is?
You won’t have any more excuses for not doing something!
Sorry. But that’s the truth! If you can’t take this package and run with it, you may be destined for a 9 to 5, and I really don’t think the prospect of that thrills you.
OK. Here’s the plan. For a limited time (at least through the holidays), you’ll get this double-whammy package as a bonus just for jumping on my update list.
Even though one of these gifts is in pdf form, the ultimate gift that it leads to is an execute file, so once again I offer my humblest apologies to any Mac enthusiasts that may be reading. For now, you’ll have to settle for a heart-felt “Happy Holidays,” and my very best wishes for a Christmas goose;-)
As a member of that list, I’ll keep you in the loop as to what’s happening here and there, all around the square, saying catch me if you can.
Whoa there! Sounds like I’ve been doing way too much holiday shopping, or found the stash of cooking sherry.
Naw. Just can’t help it, I’m in the spirit.
Anywho… Get on that list, grab your gifts, grab your mate, find some Mistletoe, and let them know you’re glad they’re a part of your life.
I mean it! Do it now! ;^) Just say Update me, Dave

Is it just me, or is anyone else as disgusted with the shenanigans of certain marketers in the news recently?
Without naming names, one in particular that I’m thinking of has been preaching and teaching out-and-out theft using a matter-of-fact, in-your-face, totally black-hat, gangster-type style.
For now I’ll just refer to him as, oh, how about Ebenezer Scrooge?
I don’t claim to be any better than anyone else on the planet. We all make mistakes. But people like Ebenezer aggravate me to the point of losing my cool, and that’s hard to do.
I don’t care if his methods do work! I wasn’t raised to believe in conditional morality where it’s ok to steal as long as you don’t get caught, or as long as you get what you want, no matter who gets hurt.
Right is right and wrong is wrong. Period!
When it comes to criminal activity (and I consider not playing by the rules, and stealing results from those who do, criminal activity), somebody gets hurt and ends up paying the bill.
Not only was Ebenezer promoting theft, it was theft against fellow marketers like you and I.
That’s a family offence!
Maybe he was just using shock-value techniques. I don’t know for sure. I didn’t support him by buying into his book or his methods, but I doubt it.
In my day (and I still claim today as part of that, seeing as though I’m still on the upper side of the root system), that punk um, fella, would have been labled a delinquent, and been treated like one.
Maybe summer school or reform school, or even a good shellacking by his peers would have been in order. (I personally think he deserves one now, if he actually does what he says he does.)
Ebenezer doesn’t appear to have a conscience and definitely doesn’t play well with others.
I do believe he’ll reap what he’s been sowing, though. He’ll probably end up with a fortune, at the expense of any long-lasting relationships, or anyone even giving a crap about what happens to him, except those he throws money at.
But they don’t care about him, they only care about his money.
If that’s Ebenezer’s definition of success, he deserves every bit of it.
If he’s lucky, the least he can expect is that one of these days he’ll be paid a visit by Marley’s ghost. Maybe something can still be done to straighten out his attitude.
So, what do you think?
Am I wrong to place scruples above Rubels, or caring about others above making a buck?
Leave a comment. I really want to know what you think on this one.
Dave

Thanks, Mr.Dickens. That just about sums ol Ebenezer up.
