Reader,

Ah, I love waking up in the morning to an email from someone hating me:

“I'm wondering why someone who thinks teaching people to be rich is an effective way to live a life? Such blatant con artistry must be horribly damaging to your mental health, knowing you are purposely leading the uninformed down a hopeless alley.

Just my thoughts.”

This should be interesting. Don’t worry, I already wrote him back, politely, to see why he thinks I’m a scammer.

Is it...

  • He saw the name “Rich” and instinctively thought it was a scam?
  • He is disappointed with how his life has turned out, and is angrily blaming someone for his own poor decisions?
  • He is trying, against all odds, to reach out and make a connection with someone in this lonely world?

We shall see.

Interestingly, when I write back to emails like this, 50% of people are totally shocked that I actually replied.

GUYS — how many times do I have to tell you?

People actually want to hear from you. More than any time before, you can reach out to CEOs, Olympic athletes, authors, and actors … and if you have something interesting to say, they want to know. They CRAVE it.

Aside from emails from haters like the guy above, I get awesome emails from awesome people all the time. I forward them along to my CEO friends who are hiring (giving them an inside track) or TV producers I know.

A single email introduction can get you in front of hundreds of thousands of people — and I’m happy to do it!

If you want to know how to grab a busy person’s attention (and get them to help you), watch your inbox tomorrow morning.

I’ll share an email that got me to respond in 30 seconds.

P.S. If you thought that email was bad, you haven’t seen anything yet. If you’re morbidly curious, check out this video of James Altucher and me reading our hate mail out loud.
