EXCELLENCE can be attained if you - CARE more than others think
is wise - RISK more than others think is safe - DREAM more than
others think is practical - and EXPECT more than others think is
possible.

This year, the deal is to get you to participate in a “survey.”
I'm not going to go into all the tricks being played here, but
DON'T DO IT! You are NOT going to get those prizes!
Last year, we were able to get my own incoming spam under
control via the way we have our server at icophosting.net set
up. But, now those jack-legs have my “real” email address, and
it's on every spam list all of a sudden.
Someone is selling email addresses, rather than simply
harvesting them. This is nothing new, but it seems to be on the
increase. It's happening from a lot of places - and don't think
for a minute some of those gurus who are getting your email
address from their “squeeze pages” aren't involved, because I'm
betting they are!
I've also received unsolicited email from companies such as
eHarmony.com, Circuit City, Best Buy and Direct TV. These are
the companies I believe are BUYING the email addresses.
Of course, their email is CAN-SPAM compliant, so there's nothing
we can do about it. I imagine that, thanks to the Direct
Marketing Association, it's even legal for them to buy the
addresses.
For instance, I suddenly started getting a subscription to the
LA Times. I DO subscribe to the New York Times, but have no use
for the LA Times. Although I can't prove it, I suspect they got
the address from the New York Times. It's a similar list, so I
would be a “targeted” mark.
Although we're told, “Spam doesn't work,” it damn well DOES work
- IF you have enough addresses. If it didn't work, we wouldn't
have these BIG spam networks.
Nevertheless, it isn't feasible for someone without considerable
money to get started. For starters, you're going to pay for
those millions of addresses you'll need.
The most amazing program I've watched from the beginning is that
bloody doctor in Illinois.
I KNOW I never subscribed to his newsletter. And, when I first
started receiving it, I tried repeatedly to UNsubscribe. Even
though I was interested in the content, it pissed me off that I
never asked for it.
Getting off that list couldn't be done. Every request was
ignored.
After a while, I started perusing his material. His newsletter
is put together in such a way that his articles WILL get your
attention if you see his email at all.
Although he's a M.D., he's a “natural healing” type. And, in
fact, I found his articles interesting UNTIL I realized that
EVERY article he publishes is geared toward a product he sells.
In fact, he gives NO advice unless he has a product on it to
sell you. He's a natural healer at a price - a BIG price.
Everything he sells - and he sells MILLIONS of products - is
over-priced.
And, I'm sorry, but when someone ONLY gives advice that is
geared to sell a product, I have to question the advice! How
much of what he says is valid?
He now has 1.3 million people on his list! No way of knowing
how many of those actually REQUESTED to be on it.
And, he's been on the Today Show, ABC News, CNN and FOX - as
well as written up in Time Magazine. He's extolled everywhere
as some kind of HUGE expert and genius marketer, but, honey, I
remember how he started!
Funny how folks will overlook your transgressions once you make
millions.
I seem to have a lot of folks bugging me about a number of
things. Which mostly tells me, I need to simplify my life -
and the public definition of what I do. Unfortunately, things
are going to get busier instead.
Here's how this has worked in the past ...
Someone sends me their product - UNrequested. Or, they offer
to send it in such a way that it would be rude to turn them
down. They want my feed-back.
I look the product over briefly and may promise that feed-back.
That's my FIRST mistake. Or, I may tell them it'll have to
wait until I find the time. STILL a mistake.
After some period of time, I get an email from this person
reprimanding or chastising me because I haven't responded.
Then, I scramble around MAKING the time to do something I have
absolutely NO obligation to do in the first place.
This is a drain on my time and energy!
So, here's how it's GOING to work in the future ...
I will NOT be reviewing ANY products or services until further
notice. So, please DO NOT SEND ME ANYTHING - for any reason -
unless I ask for it.
I'm sorry to have to be so adamant about it. However, I have a
HUGE amount of work to do over the next couple of months to
give iCop a slant that will be hugely valuable to our members.
If I review things for one person, I have to do it for everyone
- and that just can't be done.
So, PLEASE respect my request not to have things shoved at me.
And, BTW - anyone else would have been charging for all those
FREE reviews I've done in the past! So, gimme a break!
A few months ago, I sent you to a link to watch a dancing
Cockatoo. It was extremely funny and that video was HUGELY
popular.
Well, now, we have a dancing dog! And this one is hilarious,
too. In fact, it's more than that. You simply can't help a
huge grin spreading across your face at the sheer joy of this.
This is what I heard about it:
The woman in the video was in a bad car accident and suffered
multiple injuries, which required her to go through lots of
rehab. One of the things she did during her recuperative period
was to move around and dance to Travolta's song from Grease.
Her dog just started dancing with her on its own, and that's how
all this evolved.
I don't know if that's true, or not, but it certainly doesn't
matter! Be sure to watch it all the way through.

I have one more video I'm inviting you to watch, this week.
Please watch it to the end - don't let this guy's choices of
words make you click away. This is important stuff!

He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador Retriever sitting there. "You talk?" he asks. "Yep," the Lab replies. After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog speak, he says, "So, what's your story?" The Lab looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told them. In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running. "But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. "I uncovered some incredible stuff and was awarded a bunch of medals. I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired." The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog. "Ten dollars," the guy says. "Ten dollars?! This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?"
