Rome . The Coliseum. Julius Caesar.

The Pope. And a lunch in a convent with nuns who knocked me off the wagon...

Florence . The statue of David. The tomb of Michelangelo. And the most expensive sports coat of my life...

Amalfi. The coast of Italy . Breathtaking views. The largest plate of fresh fish I've ever seen. And landing at the back door of Sophia Loren's villa...

All of that and more took place on our exhausting and exhilarating whirlwind tour of Italia. You can see a slideshow photo collection of our adventure online at

And now to this month's news...

"Making money should be as easy as breathing, but most people have asthma." -- Joe Vitale

REQUEST: I need a volunteer or two. I'm speaking at the world's largest hypnosis convention August 13-15th in New Hampshire . I will also have a booth there. If you would be interested in helping me at the event, write volunteer@mrfire.com

TIP: I read Donald Trump's new book, "How to Get Rich," on the flight to Italy . It's not about getting rich at all, but there is some good advice on doing business in the real world today.

I've had mixed feelings about Trump ever since he was supposed to write the intro to my book, "There's A Customer Born Every Minute." He went back and forth with me for six months, finally saying no after leading me to believe he would say yes.

Trump's new book, written by one of his staff, actually made me understand he is very human.

I appreciate and relate to that. So I forgive him.

While Trump doesn't need the money or the sales, I think you'll like his book. Find it just about any place.

WARNING: If you receive an attachment from a mrfire.com e-mail address, please do not open it.

I never send out attachments. This is a virus randomly sent out "from" various e-mail addresses cultivated from the Internet. I, of course, would never send you a virus and never send a mass attachment of anything.

ALERT: By now you know about Spam. But you may not know about "Spim."

"Spim" is when you receive spam via an IM service.

In other words, if you're using an Instant Messaging (IM) service, such as the ones provided by AOL or MSN, you are not protected from spam.

Unrequested ads and even viruses can still hit you, via IM. When they do, they are called "Spim."

I don't yet have the solution to all this. All I'm doing right now is giving you a heads up. Personally, I think IM services are a waste of time. They lead to gossip and pointless banter. And now they can be vehicles for spam and spim.

A word to the wise: Use a good virus protector and practice safe email.

NEW: You can now hear me on the world's first

TIP: John Bogdanski told me his site wasn't making any sales at all --- until he posted some testimonials.

People are skeptical. Endorsements help relieve their concerns. See http://www.web-plaques.com/portal/affclicks.php?pid=mrfire for some of the best gift ideas you'll find.

And note how he uses endorsements to build his selling argument.

Remember, let others do your selling.

LESSON: Dan Kennedy asked me for $5 and ended up getting $301 from me.

And I still love him.

First, I got a special offer from my shameless friend Debbie Allen. She asked me to go to http://www.dk3monthspecial.com/extrabonus/ to get 3 months of Dan's famous Inner Circle newsletter for only $5.95.

I admire Dan and love his writing. So I bought.

But on the way out the cyber door, so to speak, I was shown two pop-up offers. One was for an audiotape set on wealth and the other a collection of Dan's work.

I bought both, spending an unplanned $301.

Note what happened:

I was seduced with a great deal. Three months of Dan's wisdom for only $5. No way I was passing that up.

Now that I'm already sold on Dan and his deal, I'm presented with a couple more items. I could barely refuse. The copy was long, lively and convincing.

The strategy is brilliant, too.

It's like walking into a store to claim a free tie because of a coupon you received in the mail.

After you get the tie, the salesperson says, "Wouldn't that new tie look great with a new shirt?"

And after you put on the shirt, you're reminded that you can hardly leave with such a nice shirt and tie without getting new pants, too.

Ah, the selling process at work.

I encourage you to model it.

Check out this site and follow Dan's strategy live: http://www.dk3monthspecial.com/extrabonus/

And be sure you have $5 ready.

NEWS: One of the most famous marketing books in history just got republished --- and when word hit the Internet, it sold out in *one minute.*

Fortunately, the book has gone into yet another printing.

You can get the details and the book at -- https://store.bottomlinesecrets.com/blpnet/offers/order_ba.html?sk=904193

Keep in mind this is the one book non-marketing people and non- copywriters use to build multi- million dollar businesses. It has stood the test of time. It teaches how to write copy that sells.

Rare used copies sold online for over $900 each.

It was just republished by the famous company, Boardroom, Inc -- who used the book to build their own empire.

No one in business should be without this book.

No one.

NEW: Pat O'Bryan just added a new audio to his "Think and Grow Rich Automatically" series. This one is "Relax and Heal Automatically." You'll find it under "Products" at - http://www.InstantChange.com

RESOURCE: A fun place to get ideas -- or post them -- for possible fame and fortune is at http://www.creativitypool.com

DISCOVERY: I stumbled across a great book called "Living La Dolce Vita." It's about how to live "the sweet life" by bringing the passion, laughter and serenity of Italy into your daily life.

Since I found the book before we left for our first trip to Italy, you can imagine how delighted I was to read it. But the book is more than interesting, it is actually wise.

I loved it and think you might like it, too. It's by Raeleen D' Agostino Mautner. You can find it at bookstores, order it from Amazon, or get a taste of it at http://www.mindlifesolutions.com

"Money itself isn't the problem. Money itself isn't bad or good. Money itself doesn't have power or not have power. It is our interpretation of money, our interaction with it, where the real mischief is and where we find the real opportunity for self-discovery and personal transformation."

bookstores and from www.Amazon.com
