The Formula for Making Money
It was 9:45 on a Saturday night. In California. That put me five hours past my regular East Coast bedtime. But there I was, still on stage in front of over three hundred small-business owners, showing them how to extract more profit from their businesses. I loved it. Nothing gets me more excited than teaching…
Read MorePerfect Email System
I consider my #1 Diet Challenge email that I sent to be a “Near-Perfect Email Set Up”: This should be taught to everyone – not necessarily so that we send dedicated promos like this, but as a way for people to write a connection-content-click-to-sale email that readers will appreciate and act-on. Here’s how the system…

Read MoreBest Breakfast Ever
The best breakfast that I ever did have was in Panama City. I was staying at the Hotel RIU and they brought me the biggest omelet and a giant bowl of the freshest fruit. It was a meal fit for a King. And that’s what I’m going to teach you today: How to eat like…
Read More7 Big Mastermind Lessons
Today’s a big day down here in California. It’s our 1-day Mastermind. Since I’m tied up (figuratively, silly, not literally!), we’re handing today’s email off to Mikey “Big Pancakes” Whitfield to report on his 7 Big “A-Ha” Moments from our last big Mastermind meeting in January. – Craig *** 7 A-Ha! Lessons from a Legendary…
Read More3 quick bodyweight workouts
Well, I had never seen anything quite like this before, but when I heard the waiter’s description, I just knew I had to try it. “Bring me one for an appetizer,” I said to our waiter at Mastro’s steakhouse here in Costa Mesa, California. Ten minutes later a giant, grilled Nigerian tiger shrimp was delivered,…

This one of my top mentors, completely unleashed, talking with my good friend, the boisterous, borderline obnoxious, Porter Stansberry, on the truth about what will make you rich. It’s really only the magical 4th element in any online info business that makes a difference. And when you master it, as my mentor explains, you will…
Read MoreThree Circuit Workouts Better Than Machines
The call came in at 2pm. She had a deadline of 5pm. Could I help? Absolutely. I love helping Women’s Health magazine, especially when they are pressed for time. The debate was on in their offices about whether weight machines were better than bodyweight movements. “NO way,” was my reply. I gave her several reasons…
Read MoreHow I Get So Much Done (personal info)
My day begins between 3:30 and 4 a.m. I slip stealthily from under the covers and drape my feet over the edge of the bed. Bally the Dog, alert to my slightest of movements, takes this as his cue to get up from his mat. He wanders over from the corner of the bedroom to…
Read MoreFat Burning Zone Cardio and Abs Workout
Alright, after yesterday’s 5-minute workout, we’re going to get SERIOUS today with a new cardio and abs workout. Boom! Here’s how it goes down. Start with 40 minutes of slow cardio in your “fat burning zone”. That means going really light to moderate. Use the elliptical, if possible. Great machine. Hope you have your leg…
Read MoreAre You Going to Ruin the Rest of 2014 for Others?
“Well, you’ve already ruined Thanksgiving for a bunch of families,” I said to one of our Mastermind members, “Are you going to ruin their Christmas as well?” Harsh, I know, but I had to take the role of a stern, but loving parent to get the message across. You see, our client had an important…
Read More5 Minute Fat Loss Miracle Workout
Depending on your weekend, you either are feeling one of two ways this morning. First, you might have been super busy, doing gardening and spring cleaning, and you’re sore. Or…you ate too much, didn’t do too much, and feel kind of crappy. The good news is that I don’t care. 😉 And I mean that…
