The Moral of My Story

By Clayton Makepeace | 07/12/2010

For the first several years of our lives, pretty much everyone lies to us. We’re taught to believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and, of course, the monster under your bed who’ll nibble your feet if you get up after you’ve been tucked in for the night.

The Ninja Turtle Marketing Strategy

By Mark Morgan Ford | 07/10/2010

About 15 years ago, traveling to California with K and Number Three Son, I met one of the originators of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

He was sitting next to my son. We got to talking. My son was a big fan of the turtles back then. This guy, I forget his name, drew a turtle for him.

I asked him how he came up with such a creative idea.

“It wasn’t creative at all,” he said. “It was a calculated marketing strategy.”

By Laura Rodini | 07/9/2010

True to our name, we’re early risers here at ETR.

You are too, yes?

So what’s your morning routine like?

Michael Masterson practices yoga for half an hour, first thing.

By Steenie Harvey | 07/8/2010

December 1988: I’ve got no job, no money, and seemingly no prospects. Maybe you’d rate digging around in an organic vegetable plot in western Ireland as a fantastic prospect, but not me. I can tell you that organic gardening is bloody hard work for little reward. Rain… mud… frostbitten toes. Slugs… snails… rabbits. The end result? Lettuces and cabbages that resemble lace curtains.

The Easiest Extra Income You’ll Ever Make

By Glenn Fisher | 07/7/2010

So it’s Sunday. The roast is in the oven and it’s going to take a few hours.

You set the timer, pop into town, and drop into your local charity shop. That’s a thrift shop to you U.S. readers — but either way, I like to call them “surrogate stockrooms.” You’ll see why.

Your Next Cruise — Free

By Matthew Adams | 07/6/2010

“That’s impossible. No one can cruise to those places for free!”

Accessing Your Inner Guidance

By Brian Tracy | 07/5/2010

You’ve heard of Murphy’s Law: Whatever can go wrong will go wrong. Well, there’s a similar law. This one states that, left to themselves, things have a tendency to go from bad to worse. When something is making you unhappy, for example — for any reason — the situation will tend to get worse rather than better.

A Checklist for Breakthrough Sales Copy

By Drayton Bird | 07/1/2010

I have always seen myself as a kindly, helpful soul — but clearly my memory fails me.
