Good afternoon,

I have story for you in three parts.

Part 1: A few weeks ago I was having dinner with a group of friends I’ve only known for about a year. At some point in the dinner conversation it came up that I am able to escape from a straightjacket.

My friends were dumbfounded!

It seemed inconceivable to them that I would have that strange skill.

Part 2: Last week I was getting ready for a trip to Florida. One of my dearest friends in the world was getting married. I was able to find two speaking engagements on the day before and the day after the wedding.

This allowed me to go to the wedding, pay for the trip, and make a little money on top of it. A win for everyone.

I was talking to the event organizer about what he needed me to do. His first question was about my flight’s arrival time. His second question was "Are you bringing your straightjacket?"

For him, the most important, or at least most memorable, fact about me is that I can escape from a straightjacket.

Part 3: As a regular reader of this newsletter I'm guessing that the main association you have with me is about tapping. (And from this point forward the second association will be about straightjackets.)

In addition to teaching people how to use tapping more effectively I also teach people how to run their business more effectively.

I love working with practitioners, freelancers, and small business owners to enhance their efficiency and profitability so that they can spend more time sharing their gifts, and less time on the details of running a business. I love helping people to market their work in such a way that they don't feel like sleazy sales people, share their authentic voice, and find their perfect clients.

To that end I have a second email newsletter. Three or four times a week I send useful tips on time management, marketing, and straightforward ways to allow you to enjoy running your business more.

You can join that list here: >> Yes, I want to work more effectively! <<

If you sign up you will receive a free white paper in which I share some of my favorite marketing strategies. This includes a simple technique I used in the last month with TappingQ&A that tripled my sales.

It's not sleezy. It's not scammy. It's a simple way that is honest and works.

Get your white paper now: >> Yes, I want to grow my business! <<

If you aren't interested, no worries! Your regularly scheduled emails will return on Thursday!

Have a great Monday,

Gene
