Shipyards. Poverty. Escapolgy!

From:  Alan Forrest Smith
Date?: 06/11/2008

See the photo above? It actually brings tears to my eyes.

You won't know why. You probably won't understand why. Can I explain to you? It'll help your business. Okay listen close...

The picture is from where I was born. In fact on the 2nd floor behind the big pillar on the left is the council flat where I was born. The address is ... B59 Fort Place, Leigh, Edinburgh.

The old walls are original. They are from an old fort that was demolished in the 60's to make way for the modern blocks you now see.

The Old Fort was designed to protect the harbour of Leith from invasion.

Let me tell you a bit more.

Newhaven Harbour

That's the harbour above called Newhaven where we would go get our dinner right out of the water. The Fort at the top of the page faces the old harbour. At the side of the harbour are Leith Docks. My dad worked there off and on as a shipbuilder. Actually my granddad worked there also in the corn mills.

But mostly, we lived in poverty. It was a hand to mouth life for mum and dad. The work would come and go. When it went we all had to walk over to the harbour and either catch fish for dinner or giant crab or lobster. There came a point in their life when they said...

"...I Have Had Enough ..."

and things had to change fast. Mum and Dad had two options.

OPTION ONE: live poor, die poor.

OPTION TWO: escape from poverty by taking action!

They took massive action. That massive action took them from the confines of poverty in Leith and put them into a real house, real job, real life!

Thank You, I Love You Both Mum & Dad.

How Does That Short Story Affect Your Business?

You know there are always times in life when you become literally trapped by life itself. Your business can be exactly the same. You'll feel trapped with no way out. Like mum and dad in Leith... TRAPPED by their fear of change!

Action Led To Love Of Life And...

Can force you to fall in love with your business all over again. When you fall back in love you'll force yourself into action.

How?

It's actually dead simple.

1. Gather the right information you need to help you escape. (mum and dad had to research about a new country, the opportunities and what steps they needed to take)

2. Think about any risk but more important focus on the outcome for you. (mum and dad had to focus on this lot. Regular cash. Decent environment for their 4 kids. Brand-new lifestyle)

3. Take action despite being up against the wall. (mum and ad had nothing. With nothing there nothing to lose right? They took decisive action)

What about YOU. Do you need new business? More customers? More profits?

Do you deserve more of that stuff?

Okay try this.

Some Very Important and Cool Stuff I Want To Share With You. All O.B Approved!

This Monday will see the very first release day for tickets into the www.CopywritersMasterclass.com.

To be honest the demand has been massive. I think it'll sell out on Monday. Anyway I wanted to answer the same question that keeps getting emailed over to me. It's this...

"If I applied exactly what you show me will it turn into a business that makes me money?"

Here's the answer.

The sign shows I have fully investigated any live link or product I talk about. It has my backing... 100%

Jason is one of my protégés. He went from street punk to paid copywriter. His business is now copywriting. He makes money. GOOD money.

He had zero experience. No idea on copywriting. Now he writes for the guys that handle Tony Robbins in the UK.

How did he do that?

  • He joined me at one of my Master classes.
  • He applied EXACTLY what I showed and told him.
  • He took serious action towards his dream of being a copywriter.
  • He ALWAYS called me when he hit a wall or a problem.
  • Now he has a copywriting business and IS making good money!

And by the way... you'll meet him face-to-face at the class. However I warn you... he is NUTS!

I am going to show you how to fast track your business. I am even going to show you how to get your investment in the 2-days back within weeks of leaving the MasterClass

So the answer is YES it will give you exactly what you need to create a real world business.

ONLY IF YOU promise to do what Jason did.

About the Copywriters Masterclass tickets. Now I have to tell you this.

Over 600 have pre-registered for The Copywriters Masterclass. I'm not surprised as its the first and only one of it's kind in the UK.

Due to demand I am releasing tickets this way.

On Monday at 9:00 am the tickets will be emailed out to ONLY THOSE pre-registered for the copywriters MasterClass with myself, Brian Keith Voiles and friends.

NOTE: There is a real possibility of it selling out right away.

So...

If you want to understand how using words can build a business or increase your sales fast... take action but only if you feel you truly deserve to this Monday over at...
