		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Hey there,

Unlike most people, I took to the whole online marketing thing immediately.
I made money the very first day I started out, using Adwords of all things (way back in the glory days – remember those?).
Looking back, it was a little crazy, and I had no idea how lucky I was.
I&#8217;d literally picked an affiliate [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I Learned From Masterminding With John Carlton</title>

Hey there,
Been a while since my last post, so I must apologize.
The reason for my absence is in fact my subject today.

Hey,
I&#8217;m approached by starting-out copywriters pretty frequently, looking for coaching, guidance, mentorship, stuff like that.
While it&#8217;s always flattering, I always refuse.

I wrote slower then too&#8230; so it took me 3 [...]]]></description>
