I’ve got a mate who was telling me about a story of when he was young and foolish in the US of A. And they had some dodgy car he bought from another backpacker… and took a wrong turn… ending up in a very dangerous section of New York.

Anyway, if you’re in that situation without a map, you’re going to move slowly, aren’t you? You’re going to tread carefully because one false move and it could be D-DAY for you.

Kind of like starting a business on a low budget.

It’s dangerous. You’ve got to watch your expenses. You’ve got to tread carefully. And you’ve got to use proven templates such as those you’ll find at

In a nutshell, you might need to try a number of different roads only to end up in
dead ends.

You might run an ad and have it fail.

You might send out some direct marketing letters and have them fall flat on their face.

You might have to brake and turn around in a totally different direction.

But after a number of twists and turns (it could be 3 or it could be 100) you see the light at the end of a tunnel… THE HIGHWAY!

The other day I was reading a book and saw the growth curve of Walmart. It was flat as a tack for years and years while Sam Walton took his twists and turns…

Then he saw the highway and his sales and profits shot up like a rocket.

And that’s what can happen to anyone.

For instance, you might get a copy of http://www.copywritingthatsells.com.au/cashflow and write several ads which pull a meagre response because you’re learning what works and what doesn’t.

But then one day you hit a home run. You write an ad which pulls off the charts.

You make $7 back for every $1 you spend.

What are you going to do?

You’ve found your highway.

Now what many people do is they continue to play it safe after they get out of the dangerous suburbs and find the highway.

My advice is to take your foot off the brake and drive this baby home – FAST!

Because if you’ve got an ad which is punching out more money than it’s costing you on an ongoing basis, why wouldn’t you advertise it everywhere you could?

So today, take a moment to think about how you can fail fast… find your highway… and then grow your business faster than you ever dreamed possible.
