DEAR FRIEND,
Youâve heard it before:
âThe pen is mightier than the sword.â
What most people donât realize is⌠itâs not just a metaphor.
Itâs a blueprint for building power, influence, and wealth, without force, connections, or capital. Just by knowing how to write the right words⌠to the right people⌠at the right time.
And those who understand this, who master the written word, end up with an almost unfair advantage in business and life.
You can trace it back through history:
-
Martin Lutherâs 95 Theses sparked a global reformation with nothing but paper, ink, and the truth.
-
Orwellâs 1984 still shapes political conversation decades after it was written.
-
The Federalist Papers helped build a country.
- Gandhiâs writings inspired a peaceful revolution that led to Indiaâs independence.
- Anne Frankâs diary gave the world a firsthand look into the horrors of the Holocaust â and moved millions to never forget.
-
Even in our time, social media posts and email leaks topple governments, reshape policies, and spark revolutions.
Words, when written with precision, have always been the ultimate power move.
But hereâs the problemâŚ
Most people never realize that one good letter can change your entire life.
I didnât know it either, until I hit rock bottom.
THE LETTER THAT SAVED MY LIFE...
In 2003, I lost everything.
-
My Lincoln Town Car was towed and I couldnât afford to get it back.
-
Lost my job at Time Warner because I had no car to drive.
-
Got kicked out of my beach house rental.
-
Ended up living in a urine-soaked garage that smelled like death.
-
My wife left. We divorced. I hit a level of humiliation I never knew existed.
I had $27, two bags of dirty clothes, and a broken Sony video camera.
Eventually, I borrowed enough for a Greyhound ticket back to Portland⌠feeling like a complete and utter failure.
I was homeless, sleeping on a friendâs couch, wondering how I was ever going to dig out of the hole.
Then, one afternoon in the public library⌠I placed a simple classified ad on Craigslist.
It wasnât fancy.
I just told the truth.
I wrote from the heart and I asked for help.
THAT AD LANDED ME A
TINY A-FRAME CABIN...
