Test and grow rich.

Doesn't have quite the same ring as 'Think And Grow Rich' does it?

"Testing" isn't a very sexy topic - but it will be when you it makes you a boatload of moolah!

Why? Because testing variables in direct mail campaigns, phone scripts, sales presentations, and landing pages requires discipline, diligence and patience...in other works WORK.
