Is It Time for the “Elm Street Economy?”

January 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Abundance and Prosperity, Energy & Sustainability, People Helping People, Uncategorized

John Reese & Tony Robbins Analyze Reese’s First Million-Dollar Day

August 29th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Abundance and Prosperity, Demographics/Psychographics, Marketing Techniques and Philosophies

Normally, I stay far away from all the get-rich-quick stuff. But I remember when copywriter John Reese became the first Internet marketer to (at least publicly) break the million-dollar-in-one-day barrier.
