About this listen
What I love about creativity in advertising is it levels the playing field. Whether you are a small business owner, or a world-dominating billion-dollar company. As Guy says, "the copywriter of a 'small store', has no excuse to write bad copy just because they’re writing copy for a 'small' business."
Remember, people are people. We all want, and desire safety, money, romance, status etc.
Nike, a billion-dollar marketing powerhouse, uses one of the ideas contained in these 30 lessons, gained from practical adverting and selling experience; an idea being used to successfully market everyday commodities like shoes, watches, clothing, food, pianos etc.
The wisdom in these "no-fluff added" practical lessons, can easily be listened to during your commutes, and in between slots like time on the John, or brushing your teeth, in a few short hours and then put them to work immediately after, for you or your clients' business.
These lessons are presently in order, to get you fully immersed in the way you'll market your wares/products/services, from now on, and to:
- Stop advertising for your competitors. (This is crazy, like Tesco/Sainsbury's Advertising for Aldi, IN supermarkets; where the customer is in the ultimate buying mood, looking to maximize value for their money, or the USA for the Russian Space Program; what the beep!)
- Get business from the people that see your ads. (That is why you're spending money right?)
These value-packed lessons will instruct you step by step:
- How to effectively spend your tiny/large advertising dollars.
- Advertise so that people come to your brick-and-mortar (online) store, to buy what you advertise, not go buy something similar from your competitor; thanks to your advertising reminding them! (This alone is huge)
- Track your ad spend's effectiveness.

A lone man sat at a table by a window in the Dickens Room of the Tip Top Inn, Chicago. He had finished his dinner and was apparently waiting for his black coffee to be served. Two men entered and were shown to a table nearby. Presently one of them glanced at the man by the window. "See that man over there?" he whispered to his companion. "Yes," said the latter, looking disinterestedly in the direction indicated. "Well, that is Obvious Adams."

The early 1970s saw the birth of the modern comic book shop. Its rise was due in large part to a dynamic entrepreneur, Phil Seuling. His direct market model allowed shops to get comics straight from the publishers, bypassing middlemen. Stores could better customize their offerings and independent publishers could now access national distribution. In this way, shops opened up a space for quirky ideas to gain an audience and helped transform small-press series, from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Bone, into media giants.

Every few years a book - through a combination of the author’s unique voice, storytelling ability, wit, and insight - simply breaks the mold. Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods is one example. Richard Feynman’s Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman! is another. Now comes Youngme Moon’s Different, a book for “people who don’t read business books”. Actually, it’s more like a personal conversation with a friend who has thought deeply about how the world works...and who gets you to see that world in a completely new light.

Expanding upon the illuminating discussion of the attractor patterns of success from Power vs. Force, this remarkable never-before-published book pulls back the curtain on the inner workings of the successful mind. Success, according to Dr. Hawkins, is an attitude we inhabit rather than a goal we strive for.
