Just dusted off the blog admin panel and realized I haven’t written anything here since SEPTEMBER. To be fair, I’ve been “Hella busy” (that’s a technical term) . . .
Here’s a quick rundown of what’s been going on in Haddonia since the last time I revved up the old blog:
1. I spoke at Jeff Walker’s PLF 3.0 event. I got on stage with mutton chops and pink toe nails (Jeff Johnson will never let me live that one down) and delivered a “Launch Offers That Crush” presentation that many said was the best thing delivered all weekend.
Not sure if that’s TRUE or not, but it was a damn good presentation. =-)
2. Been cranking away on my “Text Your Wife Into Bed” business. Opt in list is currently built up to about 9,000 people, we’ve hit over 1,000 paid customers and are seeing some great momentum as we head into 2011. That’s going to be a major focus of mine in the new year and I’m excited to see that business build.
3. I created my “Video Sales Letter Workshop” course with Lou Dalo. as I write this we’ve got ONE DAY left in the course and I really couldn’t be prouder of the students we brought on. Out of 80 students a whopping 20 have actually COMPLETED their video sales letters. If you know anything about info marketing you know that’s an AMAZING number. Lou and I will be rolling out this course again in the new year (a MAJOR JV partner has committed to do something with us in February) and it looks like that product is going to have some great legs going forward.
4. I had a spot of benign skin cancer removed from my face. For a while there I looked like the elephant man.
I’ve got a few fun blog posts banging around in the back of my head for you guys. More coming soon.

Hey . . .
If you’ve read my “Death of the Info Slut” article (and according to my blog stats a lot of you have) then you know I’m doing some major changes to the way I structure my day and live my life.
My good friend Kim says that I’m “Living with a startling amount of intention.”
Currently I’m working on a new “Mantra” . . . something I can mumble to myself or speak clearly in my mind anytime I feel overwhelmed, like I need to rush or otherwise stressed. (I hate that feeling.)
Here are the options. Tell me which one you like best and why:
1. “There are plenty of hours in the day.”
Pretty straightforward. Nice counterpoint to the standard “there aren’t enough hours in the day” bit.
2. “There are more than enough hours in the day.”
My gut tells me this might be the better option. It’s a more literal reaction to the “Not enough” line and somehow feels more “abundant” and “calm” than the “plenty” line.
3. There are too manyhours in the day.
Heh. Probably not. But it sounds pretty amazing to have that problem.
4-6. Basically the same as 1-3 but append “(To do what’s important)” on the end.
So “There are plenty of hours in the day (to do what’s important.),” “There are more than enough hours in the day (to do what’s important)” and (strangely) “There are too many hours in the day (to do what’s important.)”
There’s a certain strange brilliance to that last one, but I don’t think it’s what I’m going for.

I'm too lazy to edit this. But just pretend it says "Info Slut."
This is part 2 in my “I Quit” series of blog posts. You can see the first post here. In today’s post I go into my RIDICULOUS addiction to information and how I’ve started putting systems into place to deal with it.
My name is Chris Haddad and I’m an info addict . . .
Actually, that’s wrong. I’m not an info “addict.” I’m an info SLUT . . .
Ask my friends, (ex) girlfriends, family members, enemies and even some of my clients and they’ll tell you that I’ll give my attention away to ANYTHING . . .
Latest news about Brad and Angelina and how they’re relationship is being SHATTERED by Brad’s secret affair with his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston?
I’m in.
80 page Wikpedia entries on the development, translation and ratings of the classic 1980’s cartoon series “The Smurfs?”
Oh, please, more.

A Compliment Is Like A Cupcake, It Should Never Be Turned Down.
Can you take a compliment?
I mean, can you really?
Odds are you can’t.
In fact, if you’re like most people you take a compliment the same way you take a punch . . .
. . .with a sick little grimace on your face and a sudden, uncomfortable clenching of the bowels.
I see this all the time with my friends (and I used to see it in myself until I learned the “secret” I’m going to teach you today.)
