heya,

the last time you heard from me i was having a miserable time with my health. well, it’s been a rough few months of fighting the cancer which came back after we thought we beat it. Major abdominal surgery and chemotherapy have been terrible and i haven’t been able to even look at my computer in months.

i wish i could tell you that my illness has brought me some new insights or pearls of wisdom i could share with you.

it hasn’t.

i’ve grown closer with my wife and more distant with my son who doesn’t really understand why his dad can sit on the couch but can’t also pick up an xbox controller lol.

i’ve also learned that sometimes work has to wait and you have to give yourself time to heal. and that’s been a hard one for me because my work almost defines me. without it, i don’t really know who i am.

i’ve stressed about losing customers and clients, and about not keeping promises i made when i was in better health…

but honestly, the stress is all pointless when you realise how powerless you really are when God decides a fate for you. and probably the worst thing that can happen to a person, i can tell you with certainty, is not to be broke or even burdened by debt…it’s to be in poor health. because when you’re broke you have the power to TRY to change it…but when you yourself are broken and the doctors have done all they could…you have no choice but to surrender and wait to heal.

i know this email is a bit of a bummer. i’m sorry, but it’s what i could muster up.

i just wanted to let you know i’m thinking of you and i’m eager to return to work as soon as i can. perhaps this is a first step in the right direction. perhaps you’ll hear from me again soon and i’ll be inspirational and clever again.

i’ve been able to fulfil Super Traffic Machine orders throughout my illness. the monthly periodical, on the other hand has been on pause since March. i’m hoping this is the month i’ll be able to resume it. i’ll keep you posted.

Meanwhile, you can still join the Super Traffic Machine at the link below…

and while i might be too sick to teach, my comprehensive set of training manuals keep on turning noobs into internet marketing machines.
