Chris Zavadowski's Massive Leverage Marketing

A Worthy Gamble

FedEx founder Fred Smith’s father founded Dixie Greyhound Bus Lines, and with his brother, a chain of Southern-food restaurants which were sold after his death, in 1961, for $22-million. Ultimately, Fred had to gamble his entire inheritance of $8-million plus the small company he’d built, that bought and sold used airplanes, in order to raise another $40-million from private investors to launch FedEx.

Yes, the legend is true: Fred’s college professor gave him only a ‘C’ on the term paper that would later be the business plan for Federal Express. FedEx began operations on April 17, 1973.

At numerous times, the company was in dire financial straits. Once Fred sold his private plane to pay bills. Another time, he met payroll with $27,000.00 won at blackjack.

Profiles of Success: Barnett Helzberg Jr.

You may know the stores – Helzburg Diamonds. Under Barnett Helzberg Jr.’s leadership, from 1962 to 1995, the family owned chain grew from 30 to 143 stores; its per store sales were double the industry average; and they earned a sterling reputation as ‘the Nordstroms of jewelry stores.’ Which led to the company being bought by the legendary Warren Buffet!

In his book WHAT I LEARNED BEFORE I SOLD TO WARREN BUFFET, Helzberg lays out a set of principles for developing a fast-growing business. His management advice begins with concerning yourself only with the “controllables”, a way to focus and concentrate on the aspects of your business where you can have the greatest impact.

Important ideas from Helzberg: “Each activity you undertake exacts the price of not being able to pursue alternative activities – sometimes called ‘opportunity cost.’…Peter Drucker calls it ‘feeding problems and starving opportunities’.

So the question you should be asking yourself: Is what I am doing right now bringing me closer to my objective than any alternate activity I could be doing?

“Spooky” free teleseminar tomorrow…

Hi all,

FrankenChris Zavadowski here with an important time-sensitive message…

http://www.instantmlmsalesletters.com/spookycall.html

This Sunday, October 30 I’m going to be resurrecting my fun, F’REE teleseminar events…with a frightfully profitable “Halloween” training!

If you want to learn a way to create a horrific amount of *instant* online prospects, this is it! You’ll discover an eerily effective way to bring thousands of top-notch, laser-targeted prospects to your website and into your prospecting system. (Forget having to buy overpriced lead lists or “genealogy” lists!)

The guest I’m having on this no-cost call is the world’s premier “instant traffic” expert. And I’m going to pump him for as many gory tips and techniques as we can jam into this 60-90 minute F-R-E-E call!

=====================

=====================

Mark your calendar, cancel appointments, do whatever you have to do so you don’t miss this ghastly powerful F~R~E~E teleseminar on Sunday, October 30th, 2005 at 10:00PM (Eastern/New York Time).

But, I have to WARN YOU, due to a few nightmares with the teleseminar hosting company, we can only have 148 souls on the teleseminar (I booked 150 and the special guest and I will take up 2 of the spots).

And *every* single past teleseminar I’ve held has been SOLD-OUT – so there’s a darn good chance this will be booked solid and you’ll be left out in the cold, ‘dying’ to get in.

Go to the website below NOW, so can get the call-in information and have a shot at getting on the F’REE call…

Catch you soon, my little ghouls and goblins!

P.S. – Remember, I’ve only been able to arrange a limited number of “seats” on this F’R'E’E call. There’s a limit and when it’s full, it’s full. Trust me, you’ll definitely want to be in on this eye-opening, ONE-TIME-ONLY call.

The information we’ll reveal is so powerful…it’s going to scare you! Muahahahahahaha!
