My name’s Harry Shapiro and I died in 1971. But no matter, I’m going to help all you guys now in business succeed beyond your wildest dreams. Like I did.

I don't know if you know this but 4 out of every 5 new businesses go under within the first 5 years. Many others struggle along year in and year out, constantly on the edge of failure, never seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. That's dopey! Doesn't need to happen. And it won't if you listen to me.

You think I’m kidding? Lying? Exaggerating? OK, try this.

I was born in 1897 in a very poor Jewish town in Poland, very much like Anatevka in Fiddler on the Roof.

I left my parents in 1911 and came to this country with an aunt. I was 14. I never saw my mother or my father again.

When I arrived in New York, I had to go to work to support myself. I never did go to school, not here or in Europe. I also couldn’t speak a word of English when I got here. Yet I was a millionaire before I was 30.

Here’s how I did it.

I went into business almost immediately selling silk stockings door-to-door. My own idea — I don’t think anybody else was doing it at the time. I made money and saved it. A year later, I took a job as a delivery boy in a small grocery store just to learn the retail food business. Within twelve months, I bought the store. I was now all of 16.

I went on to open store after store. I also went into the dress manufacturing business. And as I’ve already said, I became a millionaire about 12 years after that.

Satisfied? Now let me tell you how I’m going to help you. You know, as one businessman to another. And by the way, this includes you ladies who are also in business.

Here's what I did. I leaned on my kid, Irving (some “kid,” he’s 83 now) to offer a free seminar on the how-to’s of succeeding in business beyond your wildest dreams. You'll learn why the complaining customer is your very best friend, why you should never impose a minimum charge on people who want to buy something from you, why when company policy gets in the way of customer satisfaction you should always change company policy, why you should never use government statistics as a basis for making decisions, why you should never give a consultant final say on anything, how to keep your attorney and/or your accountant from ruining your business, and lots, lots more.

And let me tell you, my kid sure knows what he’s talking about. He opened an architectural office in LA in 1959 without knowing a soul there and without having two nickels to rub together. Yet in less than a year, his company was thriving!

But there’s more! At the time, the national average profit margin among architects was 8% of gross fees. My kid was averaging better than 30%! Sometimes as high as 50%! And producing award-winning building after award-winning building for his clients at the same time.

And you know what, there’s still more. He even wrote a terrific book on the subject of how to succeed in business beyond your wildest dreams that he'll tell you about if you ask him.

That’s my boy! A chip off the old block, I tell you.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, there’s one thing you have to do if you want to attend his free seminar — you have to send him an e-mail message with your full name and telephone number in it. To do so, please click here.

You see, he has no way of knowing how many of you want to attend. Which means he has no way of knowing how big a place to get. So if you e-mail him, he’ll let you know when and where as soon as he’s made the necessary arrangements.

Now don’t forget, the seminar’s free. It’ll cost you zero. Nada. Zilch. You sure can’t beat that price!

Listen, I’ve got to go. Give it a shot. And every time you go to the bank to make a BIG deposit — which you’ll be doing frequently after you’ve attended the free seminar and listened to what my kid had to say — tell them Harry sent you.
