Serious question. Does anyone know where I can buy or find Gary benzinga ads so I can study them. (Besides on the swipe website).
I already finished those. If so please let me know. Thank you in advanced!

3. Not taking notes verbatim but putting into my own words
4. Mindmapping

One thing I have found to be very effective is to put anything I am learning into action. If you stop and take action on what you are learning it will stick in your mind better than if you just keep binge reading or watching. This includes taking notes on what you are reading or watching.

I just want to reinforce what Virginia said: when reading ANYTHING about advice, strategy, tips, etc you want to instill into your internal “tool box”… it is critical that you actually PUT THAT STUFF INTO ACTION IMMEDIATELY. Put your books down, pause the video, whatever… and then make that call you need to…Read more

John Carlton’s Best Ads: What Women Secretly Wish You Knew About Sex

You can buy Gary’s course if he still sells it, but that’s $5,000.
Besides the swipe websites, you should find an ad or two just by googling his name spelled correctly (Bencivenga) and “ad swipe” or something like that.

Thanks for the olive oil website David. I love the copy!
Everyday I learn more and more that you don’t just need to struggle finding dates or struggle to get in shape to have pain points. Some people just want some damn good olive oil!
