If you had to name only 2, 3 or 5 books that mentally had the biggest impact on you, what would they be?
Thank you very much for your time.
Some pundits are very negative on Americas future and seem to think China is poised to displace America as the economic superpower, while others think that Chinas success is largely fabricated and the general order of things will not change. Where on this spectrum do you stand?
Do you see the consumer market in America eroding to a point where we should start targeting consumer markets in other countries?
Is the end game that China gets reserve currency status from the rest of the world while the American dollar takes a dive?
Thanks James!
One of the segments of my business is in a rut. Coming up on 2 years of no growth, just maintaining. it contributes about 1/3rd to the bottom line. How do I kick it out of the rut, or should I just bury it in there?
2. MJ said you are an expert in cold emailing. I couln't find anything in your blog. Perhaps you give us some thoughts about how to do it right, to whom, in what situation etc.
Care to share your latest thoughts on Bitcoin? I remember reading a post of yours somewhere on bitcoin being utilized to do other things. What needs do you think can or will be solved by utilizing the blockchain?
Thanks!

How would you approach business owners with companies of 1 to 5 million dollars in annual turnover cold in an email or on the phone?
To establish trust, show you can deliver the results etc. The only thing I'm selling them on the phone and in the email is a free marketing audit that will give them the plan of how to increase their revenue - they don't even need me to implement it.
1.) What would you do if you were down and out again, but didn't have the list of important contacts at your fingertips that you had at the past?
==> What would *you* do??
2.) Any adaptations to that approach that you would take for a first time author?
James what do you think about the national debt? Continous budget deficits? The general direction we might likely follow going forward? Is Detroit leading the death spiral?
Would you choose the one project that has the greatest potential then do that one completely first? Or something else?
What about cars? They seem to suck even worse. Lease every time?
BUT, think of ten articles about coffee you can write for each influencer, FOR FREE. Or better yet, ideas you would read if THEY WROTE IT. Or better yet, write the articles and just send them.
but if I understand you correctly...I send out the first salvo of coffee + letter...And then follow up with other communications...offering ideas, an article if i can pull it off...and hope that they capitulate and acknowledge that indeed the European Coffee Society is a great topic to mention in print....or I run out of effort-muscle.
How do you get so much done with so little time?
My wife and wife's family think I'm retarded because I like to rent. It's so much cheaper to rent out here, and I like the mobility, so I see no reason to buy(yet, or ever)Mind you, I would never lease house or cars.. May be its just how we were brought up in south east asia.. It's all about ownership.. But I guess thats what makes us unique, because we will do things differently.
That's one small gesture to thank James and MJ for their time. Do it!
