Start by asking yourself:

Are you TOO BUSY and STRESSED OUT?

Why is it that almost everyone we know seems to be running around like CHICKENS with their heads cut off — busier and more stressed than ever, but not getting enough done?

You know…

• That exhausted feeling you get when you’re working much too hard, with too little payoff.
• You start to work on one thing, and feel like you should be working on a million others.
• Even simple tasks seem like they take forever.
• Unexpected complications are always showing up at the wrong time.
• You can’t keep a train of thought going, because you have 50 important things all trying to keep your attention at the same time.

And the SORRY, SAD PUNCHLINE is…

On the off chance you’re spending part of your Christmas Day in front of a computer, or have just finished lighting your Hanukkah Candles, or just spending some quality time with your family, I wanted to wish you the very Happiest of Holidays and wishes for a prosperous new year.

Chances are, you first heard of me because of a webinar you were invited to attend. You know, the one about Six Simple Sales Page secrets.

During that webinar, I told a story about how I always look for marketing lesson…and I talked about a particular marketing lesson I discovered while on a cruise on the Mexican Riviera with my family. The lesson was "start where your customer already is.

It’s an important lesson to remember, no matter what you’re selling.

Well, I was thinking about that today because I happen to find myself

A few days ago I wrote you about how my laptop was stolen while travelling abroad. Since then, I’ve received an outpouring of support, letters of thankfulness that no one was hurt, and empathy from people who’ve had similar experiences.

Some of those letters have come with advice and suggestions about how to prevent such problems in the future. And in hind-sight, I also will now do some things differently when I travel — with our without my laptop.

I wrote the next day about some general tips on how to protect your laptop computer — whether you travel or not.

Today, we’re going to focus on some specific advice for when you travel — whether on business or for pleasure — and bring your laptop along.

And just in case you think some of these suggestions are a bit over the top or unnecessary, please remember what I said last week

Yesterday, I told you about how my laptop computer was stolen from inside my hotel room…while I was sleeping just a few feet away.

Hard to believe, but true.

I was pretty well prepared for such a disaster — better than most, but not as good as some — and my business was saved because of it. But there were other things I could have done — and had always intended to do but hadn’t that could have either prevented the theft in the first place, or helped me to recover even faster.

You might think that what I’m about to recommend to you is a bit excessive. Well I’ll tell you, “It’s always too much until it’s not enough.”

In other words, you might think that doing one or two of these techniques is enough — and you might think it’s excessive. I promise you it’s not. If you lose your computer —

Something very bad happened to me this past week that I want to tell you about…so that maybe you can avoid the same fate.

I hope this doesn’t happen to you…whether at home or abroad.

SOMEONE STOLE MY LAPTOP

Imagine this for a moment…

You go to sleep in your hotel room, half way around the world, after a day of sight-seeing, culture-absorption, and fun.

And you wake up in the morning to find that your laptop is GONE from the desk where you left it the night before, and your hotel door is wide open.

HORROR.

Has this ever happened to you?

If it has, then

It has happened to all of us at least once.  That dreaded message: "Your login is incorrect, please try again."  That's right, you've forgotten your password once again!

This is a bit off topic from my regular Traffic and Conversion topics, but you've just got to know about this. 

It's one of those jaw-dropping things that Google has done that causes you to marvel in amazement at their cleverness. At least, it did for me when I first learned about it. And it's not just because of what it does, but because of what it does ON MY PHONE!
