Here is one of my most fascinating interviews ever. It's
with Glenn Turner. It me interviewing Glenn Turner like he's never been
interviewed before. Glenn in considered one of the most dynamic and
charismatic speakers of our times. He's was the Toney Robbins of the
1970s. This interview is the fascinating real life case study of how a
man with a physical disability, no money, and no confidence had the
courage to build himself into a wealthy, greatly respected man who was,
and still is a role model to thousands of people. But it is not just a
rags to riches story. It contains valuable lessons in honesty, tenacity,
humor, and respecting others you’ll take to heart.
Glenn Turner was born in 1934 in South Carolina to an
unwed mother. He was very poor. His mother’s prenatal illness of
scarlet fever caused Glenn to be born with a clef palate and a hair
lip. As an infant, he had surgery in an attempt to correct these
problems. Even so, his disability was always noticeable.
He dropped out of school in the 8th grade
mainly because of the teasing about his hair lip by other children.
When he was only 17 years old, he had his father sign for him so that he
could join the Air Force. Unfortunately, he was given a medical
discharge one year later because it was discovered that he had a
perforated eardrum.
Upon exploring job opportunities, he was told that his
outlook was bleak because he had no education. He was directed to and
enrolled in an Opportunity School. This was a school for people who had
dropped out of school or had never gone to school. This school saved
his life. It gave him the inspiration to complete school and the first
boost of confidence in his life.
Glenn eventually started selling sewing machines door to
door. Because of his past experiences, Glenn didn’t have much
confidence at first. However, he was fortunate to have the ability to
learn about sales from his manager who became his mentor. This
mentoring relationship helped Glenn to be very successful. Glenn never
forgot the importance of having a good mentor.
He was soon introduced to Holiday Magic, an MLM cosmetic
sales company Glenn was mortgage the family furniture to borrow $5000 to
become a distributor. In short time, Glenn surpassed fellow
distributor, Zig Ziegler, and became the Number One distributor for
Holiday Magic. In fact, he made a quarter of a million dollars just in
his first eight months with Holiday Magic!
Glenn reveals how he transformed from having little
confidence to having the confidence of a master speaker and
entrepreneur. When Glenn was 26, he left Holiday Magic and began his own
cosmetic MLM marketing company. It was called Koscot.
Hear how Glenn grew Koskot to a $100 million dollar
powerhouse in just 36 short months. Listen how Koscot was organized and
how it ran. At the height of it’s growth, Koscot was larger than Amway.
Glenn developed a new company named Dare To Be Great
because Koscot had a need for training materials and courses. Many
Koscot salespeople left their distributorships and became involved with
the Dare to be Great program. People flocked to Dare To Be Great
because they were fascinated with everyone’s positive attitude and
success. In fact, Glenn estimates that more than 800 people became
millionaires through Koscot and Dare To Be Great.
MLM laws were non-existent when Glenn first started. But
as the laws developed, Glenn started being investigated for different
kinds of illegal activities, including mail fraud.
He subsequently worked with one of his former employees
in the development of a new MLM, Challenge America. The company was
investigated and Glenn was eventually charged with “aiding and abetting
a pyramid.” He spent almost five years in an Arizona prison. In this
interview, you’ll hear Glenn discuss his experiences in prison.
Glenn’s real passion is teaching personal development and
the importance of maintaining a positive attitude. He has written
several books and estimates that he has sold seven million books and
audio-tape programs in his career combined.
Listen as Glenn gives advice on how to protect
themselves. He says that he made the mistake of not protecting himself
because he was always being honest. Because of lawmakers and the legal
system, simply being honest was not enough.
This interview is an absolute gem! Glenn proves how a
person can go from rags to riches and from ruin to recovery through the
power of positive thinking and honesty.

Business Success Takes More than Just
Effort: Michael
Senoff Interviews
Mr. X
The businessman in this interview
prefers to remain anonymous, so we’ll call him Mr. X. He is not related
to the Mr. X book sold by Jay Abraham.
Mr. X is the CEO of a Silicon Valley
corporation. He’s also a multimillionaire. It takes a tremendous amount of
drive, determination and focus to get to his level of success, and in this
interview, Mr. X tells us exactly what that means. Unlike many other
businessmen, he isn’t afraid to discuss the “nitty-gritty” elements of the
business ladder.
“You may have your body with your wife but your mind should still be with
your business.”
According to Mr. X, in order to be successful you’ve got to give “total
response to it -- complete mind, body, soul, bones, bone marrow, and flesh,
everything you've got.” It’s not enough to merely study business; you pretty
much have to breathe it.
This is an honest interview with someone right smack in the middle of the
business world. If you’re looking for a sugarcoated version, this isn’t the
interview for you because Mr. X doesn’t hold many things back.
Here are some of the things you’ll hear in this interview…
• When to fail on purpose… and why
• The essential things you must do and look for when putting together a
driven, business-hungry management team.
• Why Mr. X says you should never hire anyone who’s worked as a policeman,
CIA, FBI or in the field of intelligence operations.
• Why face-to-face meetings are infinitely more important than background
checks when hiring executives.
• After you’ve put together a good management team, how to maintain teamwork
and productivity in a fast and ever-changing marketplace.
• Why you should make sure your employees have the same drive and business
philosophies you have.
• What a “reference group” is and why you should “live, sleep, wine and
dine” in one.
Mr. X will be the first to tell you that millionaires aren’t made overnight,
despite what some con artists may claim. It’s not always easy, and it’s not
always pretty. But he says it should be rewarding – in more ways than just
financially. So sit back and learn what it takes to run a successful
multimillion-dollar business from someone who knows.

82 Year Old New Yorker Reveals Lifelong Marketing & Selling Secrets
Before He Dies |
|
You can be sure that this interview with Uncle Mort will
become one of my most memorable. You will hear how Mort has been an
entrepreneur for more than fifty years. Listen as he gives details of his
long jack-of-all-trades career in a saucy style that only Mort can tell.
After serving in World War II as a CB, Mort got into
sales. He owned and managed a tire store at an early age and also got
into the business of selling unique scooters.
Many of Mort’s early sales experience was the direct,
in-the-home sales of products such as:
Wherever Mort worked, he was always became the top salesman
very quickly. He had unique sales techniques that he refers to as
“secrets.” According to Mort, his unique marketing styles just about
guaranteed every sale he attempted.
Mort tells of sometimes opposing the sales techniques used
by company owners. Listen as he describes how he out-sold even the
company owners through ingenuity and his personable style. Mort explains
why direct sales is the best sales training for the new salesperson.
Later in his career, Mort began to get into the sales of
business opportunities. He goes into great detail selling a swimming pool
business opportunity. You will hear him describe his sales methodology
and how he quickly became the top swimming pool salesman. His secrets are
simple to remember: Be a good listener, be personable, and be honest.
Mort was proud to tell me how he made twenty people who bought the
swimming pool business opportunity from him became millionaires because of
Mort’s advice in marketing, advertising, and sales. He also relates
several anecdotes associated with the swimming pool business. You will
smile more than once.
Following his departure from the swimming pool business,
Mort invented the mobile dog grooming business. He tells the story of how
he came up with the idea and some of the trials and tribulations he had
during his start-up period. However, the business was a smashing success
and was written up in many, many magazines. Additionally, Mort was
actually a guest on the television show, “To Tell The Truth.” Yes, Mort’s
mobile dog grooming business got tons of publicity.
Another of Mort’s ventures was promoting a swimming pool
enclosure named the Stratadome. Listen to the deal the Mort made with
them and he ultimately made the company successful.
Mort explains why his prefers selling business
opportunities as opposed to franchises. He gives a great example when he
sold a business opportunity for auto parts, specifically brakes. At his
height, Mort had almost six thousand dealers. There aren’t many people
that can make that claim!
At the age of eighty-one, Mort is still very active in
building businesses. He has the strength of growing businesses fast. He
tells how to determine a good product that can be grown quickly and how
can help you. Mort says that, if you use his formulas, he will make you
rich. He also will tell you how to find high-ticket business
opportunities.
Mort and I talk about a fascinating venture that he is
currently involved in. He has partnered with a tour organization to sell
great little glass-bottom tour boats to be housed at prime locations
around the world. It sounds pretty lucrative. You will be amazed with
how this deal works and may wish to look at Mort’s web site for more
detailed information
Mort tells of a few other ventures that he has headed up
and how he feels that sometimes he chose bad partners. I know that you
will enjoy the banter that goes on between Mort and I. It was certainly
an experience for me listening to Mort’s life stories and I’m sure you’ll
enjoy them too

Clyde Bedell

this sample Clip From his 1959 London Seminar.

You'll own get the
entire one day seminar on CD with your free trial offer
described in the letter below.
Business Conditions
At the Time of the London Lectures
In 1958 and 1959 The United States and Great Britain were
gripped in a bitter recession.
Advertisers were struggling. Some went out of business.
Budgets were cut and sales plummeted.
Then, as now, the vast bulk of advertising was mind-boggling
wasteful. It failed to meet even the minimum standards vast
research proves are necessary to achieve maximum sales
results and profits.
Roy Thomson, the enlightened maverick Canadian and at the
time publisher of the Scotsman, was keenly aware of
this fact: the way to sell more advertising tomorrow is to
help existing and potential advertisers avoid costly errors
and use the medium with utmost effectiveness today.
(Thomson later went on to acquire the London Times, The
Sunday Times and dozens of regional newspapers,
ultimately owning the largest media empire in Europe.)
Consistent with Thomson's philosophy, The Scotsman engaged
Clyde Bedell, top-ten copywriter, author and international
consultant, to present "The Advertising Job," which came to
be known as the London Lectures.

How To Get
Investor Financing For Your Own Million Dollar Dream Business Using Little Or
None Of Your Own Money Without The Hassles Of Snobby Bank Lenders And Credit
Checks |
 |
|
Welcome to another insightful two-part
interview with business-buying expert, Art Hamel. In these
audios, Art concentrates on how you can buy a business with
investor money. This isn’t something that he just thought
up. All of the content you are about to hear is based on
Art’s actual experience for over twenty-five years.
You'll hear questions and Answers from my students about
buying businesses.
When you buy a business using investor money, there are some
great advantages. First of all, you pay for your business
entirely by cash! That gives you an advantage over other
buyers. The other important aspect is that most investors
don’t expect you to pay them some kind of a return every
month or quarter. They will ride with you for five years or
more until they expect their return. That means that you get
to use all of that investor money for the entire investment
term!
You will also hear Art’s opinions on business brokers and
how to know a good one, how to value a business, buying
businesses which fit into a consumer buying cycle such as
businesses that fit well with baby boomers, how to protect
yourself from overpaying for a business, and much, much
more!
Near the end of this Q & A session you’ll hear Art’s
anecdotes about how he got into the seminar business in the
early 1970’s, how he started teaching marketing and business
buying sessions that were both IRS and IBM approved, and how
his one-hour infomercial on a shopping network made him such
a recognized personality wherever he went.
