So I won’t be dropping any marketing lesson today..
Go over my last mails..
Read them and digest again..
Then come back to say thank you..
And one more thing before I go..
There’s a man I started reading his books some days ago..
He’s not a copywriter but a Poet, novelist and storywriter..
And boy..
He’s a good one…
And I kept some of his quotes or words aside..
They are very valuable and I want to share 3 with you today..
Meanwhile, the name of the man is Charles Bukowski….
He doesn’t have a life you can emulate though..
He’s a jackass but his books and words are something you can’t miss..
And one thing is..
He narrates sex to the fullest in his books..
So do with that anything you want to..
Onwards..
The 3 favorite quotes are:
First….
If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start.
This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind.
It could mean not eating for three or four days.
It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision.
It could mean mockery–isolation. Isolation is the gift.
All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it.
And, you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds.
And it will be better than anything else you can imagine.
If you’re going to try, go all the way.
There is no other feeling like that.
You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire.
You will ride life straight to perfect laughter.
It’s the only good fight there is.
Second…
But then if you lied to a man about his talent just because he was sitting across from you,
That was the most unforgivable lie of them all,
Because that was telling him to go on, to continue which was the worst way for a man without real talent to waste his life, finally.
But many people did just that, friends and relatives mostly.
Third…
Human relationships were strange.
I mean, you were with one person a while, eating and sleeping and living with them, loving them, talking to them, going places together, and then it stopped.
Then there was a short period when you weren’t with anybody, then another woman arrived, and you ate with her and fucked her, and it all seemed so normal, as if you had been waiting just for her and she had been waiting for you.
I never felt right being alone; sometimes it felt good but it never felt right.
And I have over 70 more written down..
Charles is a good writer..
And like I said.. you can only emulate his writing style and life..
The rest isn’t what you should emulate..
And with that, I need to at least read something for this test..
Wish me well…
And have a nice day too,
Dolapo Hamzat.
P.S:
Test doesn’t mean I shouldn’t sell today..
But I won’t sell..
I want to ask for a favor from you..
And here goes:
I want to go offline for some months starting April..
So I will be off WhatsApp..
But I will be here sending you mails and possibly Twitter..
And what I want from you is that….
I want to take at least 3 FREE classes before going MIA…
But I don’t know what exactly you want me to teach..
So I will prepare a survey form and send tomorrow..
Then you choose what you want me to teach..
It might be in a WhatsApp class format…
Or even in a FREE PDF..
Or anything in between..
So I will need your utmost answers tomorrow..
Will you do that for me?
P.P.S:
I said I won’t sell but that’s a lie btw..
I don’t even have any pitch for this course today..
