Topless Dancers & Abundance
Today is one of those melancholy days for me.
I'm leaving the love of my life and flying back to Atlanta to see my kids. I am super excited and so looking forward to being with my babies (they are the greatest joy in my life) and will miss my girlfriend at the same time.
But, I had a great trip to the Left Coast.
During my Vegas vacation, we went to the Crazy Horse show at the MGM. This is a "topless" review from Paris. Of course, I went for educational purposes only. Seriously, the truth is that after about ten minutes, the novelty of the show had worn off and it was kinda boring. (Both Alexis and I liked two. fully clothed, male break dancers the best!)
Being in Vegas made one thing very clear, there are a lot of people who are not being that adversely effected by the so-called "recession."
When we arrived at the Wynn hotel, we decided we wanted to upgrade to a suite on the "resort" side of the complex. (This is the five star side.) As you can imagine, a suite at a five star hotel in Vegas isn't exactly cheap. BUT, there were only 3 three suites that were left available. Fortunately, we snagged one of them. (Oh, and it was gorgeous and worth every penny.)
The casino was humming with people gambling, betting and losing a lot of money. (After Alexis lost $100 of her money and $25 of MY money, we decided we were the world's worst gamblers and that we should stick with what we knew best...eating.)
Here's the point: In any economy, there are always people who are doing well. And, as entrepreneurs, we have a major advantage over regular "working folk" because we control our destiny, to a much greater extent.
Dan Kennedy gives some sage advice about thriving in tough economic times. He says to focus on selling to the affluent and to RAISE YOUR PRICES instead of lowering them.
But, a LOT of doing well in ANY economy has to do with your mindset. If you watch the news, read the paper and listen to all the gloom and doom news, it is going to affect how you think and how you think affects your actions and your actions have a direct effect on your bank account.
Yep, there are always people who do well no matter what is happening around them. The question is, are you going to be one of them?
(Your comments are very welcome and I do read all of them.)
Kick butt, make mucho dee-nero!

P.S. I am going to take Dan Kennedy's advice and raise the price of my most popular product, "Your Marketing Department In A Box." On Monday, if not before, the price goes up significantly to reflect it's true value. So, if you've been sitting on the fence about getting this, now is the time to jump off and race over to http://www.davedee.com/box and get your personal copy now.

Hi Dave,
I know how you feel about missing your girlfriend. I just got back, (I live in Boston) from a month with my girlfriend and she lives in Scotland! So consider yourself lucky that you only have to travel to CA. :)
I stopped watching TV news because I sick of all the negative crap about the economy. It's enough to make one depressed.
On the trip back from the UK, I started to read Dan Kennedy's book, Marketing to the Affluent. But when I got home I had to put it on the back burner because I had a nice wonderful package in the mail... your Passion into Profits course! (I was on the original teleseminar).
For the past few years I've had this nagging thought in my mind that I need to find another stream of income to go along with my entertainer/magician business.
I've just started with your course and already I think it's the best marketing course I've come across.
You've brilliantly structured everything out step-by-step, so as long as I take action and stay on the plan, I will succeed.
I do have another passion (running) in my life and now I have the tools to truly turn this 'passion into profits'.
Thank you,
Franc
