Greatest Hits?

"So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains and we never even know we have the key." - from the Eagles song, Already Gone

Some of the best selling albums of all time are Greatest Hits collections.

The five best sellers of this type of musical release are:

Queen: Greatest Hits, with certified sales of 20.6 million copies.

ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits, with certified sales of 21.6 million copies.

Bob Marely and the Wailers: Legend, with certified sales of 22.9 million copies.

The Beatles: 1, with certified sales of 23.3 million copies.

And the grand champion of hit compilation releases and, indeed, the second best selling album worldwide of all-time:

Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975, with certified sales of 41.2 million copies.

Why am I sharing information about 'greatest hits' here?

It is because I have now published 70 Editions of this Newsletter and decided this week I would share which are the five most-read or, in some cases, my personal favorites.

Like Greatest Hits collections, those of you who have been reading this Newsletter since the beginning will enjoy revisiting these and, perhaps, be inspired to take action.

More recent subscribers may be seeing these for the first time.

Either way, I hope you find this offering to be worthwhile.

That's a BAD Idea!

A few weeks ago I heard about a woman named Stephanie Matto who earned over $200,000 in a short amount of time selling - and I swear I am not making this up -

Farts in a Jar

How many of us would ever have even thought of selling something like that, let alone gone about pursuing it?

Celebrities?

For these and other national and international brands, having a celebrity endorsement can produce a phenomenal Return on Investment.

Of course, you have to have the Investment money up front and be able to convince a high-profile celebrity to endorse your product.

Clooney reportedly got paid $40,000,000 for pitching Nespresso!

What to do if you aren’t quite at that level yet?

This week’s idea will help.

Networking With Steve Jobs

Do you have a network?

Or, do you just have a group of folks that know who you are and what you do?

Yes, there is a difference.?

You have probably heard it said more than once; Your Network is Your Net Worth.

That CAN be true, but it isn’t necessarily.

And, the most read Edition BY FAR:

Removing Road Blocks

In the modern economy, you MUST continuously develop creative new solutions in all aspects of your business - if you want to thrive.

BUT, within organizations, there are three MAJOR roadblocks to fostering and encouraging creative, new and better ways to do things.

In this Edition, I am going to discuss what the third problem is and lay out the elegant solution we have developed to overcome all three.

At the end, I am also going to tell you about the opportunities for you to earn money from this solution.
