    Hi There,

    I hope you're well this Tuesday.

    Er, hang on - Tuesday?
    Oh yes, it's been a good old while since I sent a newsletter on a
    Tuesday.
    I didn't send one yesterday, as my internet company was still
    sorting out changing my account from the old place to the new
    place.
    My brother has told me that I'm no longer allowed to fume at us
    putting a man on the moon 35 years ago, but not being able to
    change an internet account in UNDER 3 WEEKS, because he says
    I've used that fume too often.
    Hmm...(fume)

    Today it is now sorted (hurragh), and since I'm now only writing
    once a week, I thought I'd whack in a Tuesday Issue.

    Here we go...

    When I was at the Internet Cafe checking my emails, chewing
    complimentary stale jelly babies, I saw one with a
    headline 'Tribute to Corey Rudl'.

    My first reaction was that it was another email selling one or
    other of his products.
    However, I had a curious feeling, because 'Tribute to' tends to
    suggest to me that someone has died.

    I opened the email, and was amazed to see that, sure enough,
    Corey Rudl had died.

    He was killed in a car racing accident, when his car crashed at a
    California Speedway track.
    Corey was a speaker at the very first Internet Marketing seminar
    I went to, way back in 2000.

    I couldn't work out if I was impressed or not with him.
    The first thing he said was that he spoke so fast that it might be
    hard to keep up.

    He then proceeded to speak so quickly that I could barely keep
    up!
    Considering I had forked out for the seminar, I couldn't help
    thinking that he could have slowed down!

    Here's the second thing I wasn't sure about.
    He spent virtually his whole slot telling us that in order to
    properly succeed online, we would really need the software made
    by his company, on sale at the back of the room for hundreds of
    pounds!
    Oi, hang on, I thought I had paid my money to be told
    information, not to be told I needed to spend a whole lot more!!

    This tactic was not used by Corey alone, far from it, and is still to
    this day a common feature of seminars.
    It's not one I like, and if anyone hears or sees *me* at a
    seminar, they won't find me doing it.

    Here's what *did* impress me about Corey -
    He was bursting with energy and enthusiasm.
    Hardly surprising since he was making a bucket load of money
    online, was able to free his time and enjoy life, while helping
    others at the same time.

    His company had one of the early affiliate programmes, and
    Corey Rudl became a name linked with learning online
    marketing.

    Did he always get it right?
    Maybe not, but that's part of being a trail blazer.

    He did inspire and help *thousands* of people to further and
    improve their lives, and that is nothing to sniff at.
    He also set up his life to enjoy it, to the full, something else not
    to be sniffed at.

    This included racing cars at over 100 miles an hour.
    Ultimately this cost him his life, at only 34.

    That's a young age to go, without doubt, but what a life he lived,
    cramming in a whole lot into those 34 years, that many won't get
    into a lifetime twice as long.
    He has left a huge legacy for others to follow, and when people
    hear his name, people automatically think of a certain attitude
    to life, one which we could do worse than to follow.

    Yesterday was the birthday of Britain's oldest man - he is 109!
    That's old!
    He served in the First World War.
    Can you imagine the changes he has seen in his lifetime?

    Corey Rudl didn't make it to 109, he only go to 34, but if you
    know nothing about how he started online, and how much he
    achieved, I suggest you type his name into Google, and read up!

    Ok, until next week, take care!

    'Til Next Time,
    Health and Happiness,
    Gordon
