HOW I ACCIDENTALLY MET MY MENTOR
I noticed that a guy by the name of Alan Jacques kept sending these sales
letters, inviting me to various financial seminars. His sales letters really stood
out.
They were powerful and compelling,
and always filled with fascinating
stories. Alan Jacques knew how to
craft a killer sales letter.
He was a marketing genius. I kept all
his letters in three-ring binders and
found myself signing up for all the
financial seminars he offered.
When I was attending one of these seminars, I noticed a gentleman
sitting next to me. I didn’t pay too much attention. But when I saw that
his name tag said “Alan Jacques” I was speechless.
I thought to myself, “Could this be THE Alan Jacques? It couldn’t be.
No way.”
Finally, I couldn’t help myself and I asked him nervously, “Are you Alan Jacques?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Oh, my goodness. I’m on your mailing list. I’ve been getting your letters. That’s why I’m here.”
“Good. I’m glad you like the seminars.” Alan thought I was refer-ring to the seminar.
“No, you don’t understand. I mean I love your sales letters! I love the
way you sell and market. I actually keep all your sales letters and put
them in three-ring binders to study them.”
“REALLY?” He looked surprised and flattered at the same time.
“You know, most people just throw them in the trash can.”
“That’s because they don’t know the value of these letters. They don’t understand it isn’t the thing—it’s the thing that SELLS the thing.”
“You’re right, young man. You know, you’re pretty bright for your age.” There was a smile on his face.
That’s when I stepped out of my comfort zone and asked one of the smartest questions I’ve ever asked: “I don’t mean to impose, but can I
buy you lunch?”
“Hmm…what the heck? I gotta eat,” he agreed.
THE MILLION-DOLLAR YEAR OF MY LIFE
At lunch, we just clicked. Alan took me
under his wing and I became his apprentice.
For a full year, I worked like a slave for peanuts.
But I didn’t care. I wasn’t working for him to
make money. I worked for him because I
wanted to learn.
That’s when I found out you could put words on a piece of paper, put it in an envelope, mail it out, and people would send you money. It
was a revolutionary discovery for me. I was amazed. I said to myself, “This is the best way to make money in the world without a gun.” And depending on how you look at it, it’s corrupted me forever more.

Here I was, a copywriter for his company.
I would do all the grunt work, write the letters
and then take the bags of envelopes to the
post office and mail them. That was the
million-dollar year of my life. I got a million
dollars in education in that year.
Finding a mentor to show me the ropes
was the answer for me. It may not be
the answer for everybody, but it
certainly was for me. Literally, my life
was changing in a few months
because I had learned to turn words
into cash.

own, you would already be there.
