I know I have a lousy chance of getting a response, but what the heck ... am no worse off if ignored. :) .

Loved your book, Timothy Ferriss, and have also listened to your CD's several times (education is repetition!). I've read many of the books you recommend (E-Myth - my favourite). I wrote a book 7 years ago and have attempted SEVERAL different business models (and sold various products) since then. I now have a book and several CD's that my customers love (eBay feedback has been great), but I'm stuck because I don't know what the next step should be (I need to sell more).

I'm a Diabetes Clinical Nurse Specialist and hospital "outsider" ... being a low carb fan and agree with you that a calorie is NOT a calorie etc. But tell most doctors that and they will look at you with a glazed expression. Am also a big Jack Canfield fan (he changed my life, 15 years ago). If you have any personal advice as to how I could sell supplements on my website or ANY other suggestions ... would GREATLY appreciate it. If not, I will just continue to persist and prioritize some of your book suggestions. In any case, congratulations on the success of The 4-Hour Work Week. I think it's terrific!

Kind regards, Corinne (www.LoveNewLife.com)

Hi Corinne,
I am also a low-carb fan. It took me some months and self-discipline but I eventually got to the point where I don't crave anything sweet and I only touch white sugar once a week or less. I find that my conventional doctors are way behind the curve on a few topics.

Anyway I am interested in health marketing somewhat since I have spent a lot of time tracking down very specific supplements (high-vitamin cod liver oil for example) so I have been exposed to the marketing that people are doing right now. If you have specific questions i may be able to help you, maybe not. Please discuss!

You might try dropping Tim an email he does sometimes respond to those, and you may have a better chance waiting a little while for the traffic to die down a bit...Are you thinking of reselling supplements or coming up with something on your own???

I've also done some low-carb experimenting. I'm living (for free) with relatives who do a lot of (fairly healthy) cooking right now, so I don't feel particularly free to make out-of-the-ordinary dietary choices by rejecting their offerings (especially since it's mostly fresh vegetables in some manner ...). But when I have my own control, I prefer zero sugars. It does wonders!
