"News You Can Use", June '01

Would you like to appear as a guest on Oprah? Are you ready
to easily experience a miracle? Do you want to stop viruses
from eating your computer data? Just keep reading this month's
pulsing new issue of "News You Can Use!"

* One of my clients boldly created his own phone company.
Working with him has depressed me, mainly because I've learned
how bad all of us have been ripped off by misleading claims and
confusing bills by our phone services. I've signed on with his new
company and I encourage you to do so, too. You can get 4.9 cents
a minute---any time, no restrictions---long distance, a free calling card,
a free toll-free number, and more. Just call 1-888-350-2363. When
they ask who sent you, tell them agent #10,000-00000000000. (It's
not as simple as 007, but I'm not James Bond---though I drive a Z3.)
Note: These people can be your long-distance carrier, ISP, paging
company *and* cellular phone service supplier. And they guarantee
your satisfaction. They'll pay to switch you to their service, and if
you're not happy, they'll pay to switch you back! You can register
online right now at http://www.eztel.net

* Miracles? While I didn't write my new book, "Spiritual Marketing,"
with an eye to infusing it with some sort of magic spell, it somehow in
fact may contain one. One person read it and said a skin condition
they had cleared up the next day. Another person read it and healed
their cat of a long-term food allergy. My sister read it and went out
and bought a new car. My brother read it and went out and bought
a new truck. My father read it---and he's never read ANY of my other
books---and he called me to say he loved it. After you read "Spiritual
Marketing," please post your review of it at the same place where you
can buy it right now: http://www.amazon.com (And if you do in fact
experience a miracle after reading the book, please let me know
TODAY. I'm just as amazed as you by these stories.)

* If you would like a copy of your appearance on any radio or TV
station, call the National Aircheck at 888-206-9662. (This tip came
from my friend, John Kremer.)

* Stories move people. It's one of the "lost secrets" in my book,
"The Seven Lost Secrets of Success" (now in it's NINTH edition),
and it's the total focus of a marvelous new book by Annette Simmons,
titled, "The Story Factor: Inspiration, Influence, and Persuasion Through
the Art of Storytelling." Here's an excerpt from it:

"Facts are neutral until human beings add their own meaning
to those facts. People make their decisions based on what the facts
mean to them, not on the facts themselves. The meaning they add to
facts depends on their current story. People stick with their story even
when presented with facts that don't fit. They simply interpret or discount
the facts to fit their story. This is why facts are not terribly useful in
influencing others. People don't need new facts---they need a new
STORY."

A wise, practical, inspiring book. Get it at http://www.amazon.com

* One day last April someone on my email list
wrote me a note saying they just sent me a virus.
He advised me to find a certain file on my
computer and delete it right now. He said as soon
as I rebooted my computer the file would activate
and the virus would begin to work.

I didn't know what to think. I didn't know the
person. Was the virus for real? Was the person just
trying to get me to delete an important file, which would
then corrupt my system? I didn't know.

I sent a note to the person and asked if they were
for real. They wrote back, saying yes, indeed. There's a
"worm" that attaches itself to your email and sends itself
to everyone on your email list. That's how he sent it to me.
HE didn't do it. The virus did it. And he was urging me to
find and delete the virus before it got activated and sent
itself to everyone on my list---including YOU.

I found the file in question but couldn't delete it. So
I downloaded an anti-virus program. It took two hours to
download and it couldn't find the virus. I then went and
downloaded the famous Norton program, which took an
amazing EIGHT HOURS to download.

At two in the morning, after I had downloaded it, I tried
to get my email. I couldn't. Norton had corrupted my Internet
access. It actually changed my user name AND my password.
I called my service provider and they said, "Yes, Norton does that."
They helped me get everything straight again and I was able to
retrieve my email. What a nightmare.

But then I tried to run Norton. It froze my computer. It shut me
down and out and refused to do anything but sit there, staring at me.
It's now three in the morning and I'm worn out from this computer fiasco.
To think I downloaded a reputable anti-virus program only to watch
it GIVE me a virus and then lock me out of my own computer.
What was I do to? I now live in the country. Getting help isn't
easy. Hauling machines into town is time-consuming. I can't even go online
and search for the help I need because now I'm forbidden net access.
What am I going to do?

I looked up and saw the local telephone book on my shelf.
It had arrived the day before. I looked under computer repair and
saw a giant ad that read, "24-hour MOBILE repair service." Mobile?
You mean they come to me? I call them---it's 4 A.M. now, mind you
---and a live person, awaken and friendly, answers the phone.

By 2 PM the same day a young man from TD & G Computer
Solutions is here, ready to help me. He looks over my computer and
begins to repair it, acting as if he knew it so well he must have created
it or written the code to operate it. The whole time he's talking to me
about cars---he loves my BMW Z3---while typing and analyzing my
computer. Within an hour I'm free. Yes! Yes! YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The lessons here? Everything from be sure to have an ad
where your clients will see it when they need to see it, to being sure
you are offering true service. It's one thing to have a computer repair
company where people have to lug their stuff to you. It's quite another
to run a business that *delivers* that service.

I'm happy, my computer is running, and you didn't get a virus
from me. On top of that, I hope you were reminded of a business
truth: Give people what they need when they need it and they will
joyously pay you for the service. Give them MORE than what they
expect and you can get rich from their gratitude.

How can you improve *your* service right now?

ALERT: I was just told there is yet another virus going
around, with people sending you warnings and urging you to
delete a specific Windows file. Do NOT do it! First check with
some professionals or contact TD&G above to learn what you
should do to not corrupt your own computer.
