You Won’t Believe What This Russian Dude Told His Doctors

A doctor with a stethoscope around his neck sits at a desk, holding a pen and gesturing with his hand while looking forward. There are papers or a folder on the desk in front of him.

Ripped from the headlines in Russia:

A 65-year-old man showed up a regional hospital in Kirov with a head-sized tumor growing from the back of his neck.

And when I say “head-sized,” I’m talking the size of a HUMAN skull — like a bowling ball or cabbage…

…stuck – to – the – back – of – his – neck!

Call me a hypochondriac. But if I had a cabbage-sized “lump” on my neck, I’d hightail it to the hospital and say:

“Cut this off!”

But not this guy in Kirov.

He lived with this lump for 16 years. Not 16 days. I said YEARS.

And when he finally moseyed down to the hospital to let doctors look at the 16-year-old, bowling-ball-sized lump on his neck, this wacky Kirovian told them he’d been “treating” it with…

…(wait for it)…

…simple ointments.

Lucky for him the lump was benign.

So many questions:

ā‰ļøĀ How many tubes of ointment does it take to “treat” a head-sized tumor for more than 5,800 days?

ā‰ļøĀ Did he give the lump a name? “Wilson,” perhaps?

ā‰ļøĀ What was the Kirovian thinking after, say, the ninth year of “treatment?”

I picture him on New Years Day, seven years before heading to the hospital, smearing ointment on “Wilson,” saying “THIS year, it’s going to work…”

…Which leads me to the point of this story.

How are you “treating” the little lumps and bumps that afflict your business?

Last month, I met with a business owner who told me email marketing doesn’t work.

“Why do you say that?” I asked.

He told me he’d been emailing for eight years and hadn’t generated a single sale from it.

His “emailing” consisted of one email per month — a newsletter with “industry news,” occasional tips, but no offers (he didn’t want to be “pitchy.”)

“You’ve been doing that for eight years?” I asked.

“Yep!”

“And even though it wasn’t working, you didn’t adjust your strategies and tactics?”

“Nope!”

I picture the business owner, sitting at his computer around New Years Day five years ago, clicking “send” on the year’s first email newsletter, thinking, “THIS year, it’s going to work.”

And then — surprise! — the ointment the same-old strategy fails again.

It’s time to try a better way

Chris Orzechowski has been building lucrative, profit-generating, freedom-enabling businesses for himself and his clients for years — powered by email marketing done the right way.

He’ll show you how he does it and help you do it if you grab his “Write Yourself Rich” program for the crazy-low price of $997.

That’s WAY less than it would cost you for a 16-year supply of tumor-ointment

And if you land just one client (you’ll land more than that) by applying what you learn from Chris, you’ll win.

I’ve attended Chris’ trainings, and I’ve purchased his “Write Yourself Rich” program, and the value is massive.

It’s not just about generating more sales and profits.

It’s about simplifying your life and your systems so you spend less time trying to outsmart social media algorithms and more time doing things you love.
