In october 2006 I decided I’d had enough.
I’d had enough of working for other people and making them the kind of money I could only dream about.
I’d had enough of people looking over my shoulders constantly to ensure they squeezed every drop of blood for the pittance they paid me… even though I worked my butt off.
In fact, in one job my manager actually told me if all the other guys together did half as much work as I did by myself, he’d be a happy bunny. There were eight other people in the team.
Did that satisfy the bosses of the company?
Does spiderman really exist? (Okay, I only used that because I’m a die-hard comic book fan. But you know what I mean).
Anyway, in October 2006 I decided I was going to be self-employed. I was going my own way.
So I called up the relevant government department and told them so.
And I’ve been self-employed ever since.
Although I think the term self ‘unemployed’ would be more suitable.
You see, I tried to learn how to make money on the internet. I bought one course after another.
Each time the promise was:
- I had to spend money to make money
- “Our course is the best one. And you’ll definitely make money with it”
Three years and about $50,000.00 later (no typo), all I had to show for myself was a huge debt, with no ability to pay it back.
I was desperate.
Then, in October 2008 Drayton Bird held his first course in Direct and Digital Marketing through EADIM (European Academy of Direct and Interactive Marketing).
The cost was 3,000 Euros. I couldn’t afford it.
So I ended up wasting more money trying to learn more stuff that was no good And getting even deeper in debt on my credit cards.
(funny how we can’t afford to pay for something sensible, but can afford to get even more in debt, huh?).
Then in August 2009 I decided enough really was enough.
I borrowed the money from my brother and enrolled on that year’s EADIM course.
Was it worth it?
It was the single best investment I’ve made in all these years of struggling.
In fact, I made back my investment at least 5 times since. And more.
I was so enthusiastic about this course that Drayton Bird himself sent me an email and offered me the chance to work with him.
The result?

I had a big hand in that copy.
This is what Ross Bowring, a fellow copywriter on the Warrior Forum, said of the copy on this site…
“Rezbi… Bravo! And I’ve never said “Bravo” to anyone before (!) That’s a very nicely written letter. Skillfully communicates benefits with no hype whatsoever. Read the whole thing. Never usually do that. Mightily impressed.”
And this is what Drayton said of the same…
Enthusiasm without knowledge is useless. Rezbi is one of those rare and valuable people – a genuine enthusiast who studies. He was hugely valuable to me in working on the promotion for EADIM. The (very complex) landing page is a good example of his work, a great joint effort!
All I can say is this – I got the opportunity to work on this, and on others, as a direct result of going on that course last year. It is, in my opinion, the best course on direct and digital marketing that exists today.
And, if ANYONE is really serious about their career, online or offline – no matter which industry they are in – they would be jumping to get on this course.
Now my question is: How serious are you?
Don’t waste any more time or money. Get on this course and – finally – start making a success of your business and career.
If nothing else, at least go and check out the site to see how much I’ve accomplished as a result of doing this course. And how much you could, too: www.directmarketingcourse.com
Oh, I nearly forgot… if you book before the end of the year, you also get a HUGE 34% discount.
And, if you can’t afford that measly sum, you can even pay by monthly installments.

Best,
Rezbi

I have a wonderful teacher.
In fact, you know him.
I’ll tell you his name a little later.
For now, all you need to know is that this teacher knows everything.
When I say everything, I mean…everything.
How does he know all these things?
Every single thing that’s ever happened in the past, my teacher knows about… without exception.
Simple – he’s been around a long time.
I call upon my teacher once in a while and, when I remember.
And, whether in business or just life in general, when I take heed of the lessons he teaches me I know I’m less likely to make mistakes… especially the same one I’ve made in the past.
Don’t get me wrong… he doesn’t know everything.
For a start, he can’t tell me with absolute certainty what’s going to happen in the future.
Nobody can.
Only God knows that.
Anyway, let me give you an example of where I messed up a few times…
In my online business, when I ignored what ever my teacher told me, I did the same things over and over again.
By that, I mean the same things that were bringing me no results.
And by doing those same things, guess what happened?
Nothing.
I got no results.
On the flipside, when I listened to my teacher and abandoned those things which did not work, more often than not, the results changed.
Not always – like I said, he doesn’t know everything that’s going to happen – my teacher.
My teacher can also teach me things others do.
For example, do you remember Black Monday?
It was the day the stock market crashed on October 19, 1987.
I remember it… vividly.
And I haven’t forgotten.
A couple of years ago I warned some people against buying property.
I reminded them that what happened before Black Monday was exactly what was happening then.
I didn’t mean the inner mechanics – just the fact the prices of everything was going way too high.
And, when things go too high up too quickly, there’s only one way to go…
Down.
They didn’t listen and bought property.
And now they have property worth less than they bought them for.
That happened within a few months of them buying them.
I think we all know what happened there, don’t we.
So, back to my teacher.
I recommend him to everybody, without exception, because I know there’s no-one in the entire world who would not benefit from his knowledge.
His name?
History.
