I’m sorry (practice what you preach)

OK.  Here goes . . .

The Presell Formula is launching tomorrow (well, technically it’s pre-launching).

Anyway, before the rumors start you should know that Tracy is happily married and I have an amazing girlfriend.

Many people talk about their love of personal development and spiritual growth, but they often try to practice it in a vacuum.  They’ll read books, meditate, go to seminars, write about it and dialogue with other like-minded people.  I’d like to suggest a radical paradigm shift.
