I'm not sure if you know this about me, but I started out as a self-taught copywriter.

Like you, I devoured books, studied courses, and wrote countless pieces.

I was simply "OK."

But the missing link in my journey was not having a mentor.

Sure, I worked with numerous clients that nudged me along the way. However, it was my mentorship that truly elevated me to the ranks of the superstars.

That transformation came through Richard Stanton-Jones, the legendary publisher at InvestorPlace (formerly Phillips Publishing), who coached me through my very first magalog—the "Great Retirement Betrayal."

Richard was the perfect mentor because he had worked with all the greats: Gary Bencivenga, Jim Rutz, Gene Schwartz, and more.

He took what he learned from them and passed all that insider knowledge down to me. Together, over six months, we wrote and rewrote that promotion, refining every single aspect from the headline to the lead, the transitions, to the call to action.

That promotion became an evergreen package, beating the existing Jim Rutz control by 100% and was mailed as the control for over three years. Without that one-on-one instruction, I might never have made it to the top of the A-list or worked with the top publishers in the newsletters and information products industry.

In fact, the next promotion I wrote, "Tap the Hidden Wealth Inside Your Paycheck" only too three weeks to write and beat a Clayton Makepeace promotion.

None of it would have been possible without the guiding hand of Richard Stanton-Jones.

This experience is why I created my own coaching/mentoring programs.

To give back to the industry that has been so good to me and
To leave behind a legacy of success that my million-dollar copywriting formula has created for both me and my clients.
