The Red Hot CHICKEN!!!!
Okay can I tell you about the surprise I got from my husband while I was in Chicago at the Dan Kennedy-Bill Glazer Super Conference?
Well, I got a message from the front desk that I had a package from California. “Hmmm. That’s odd,” I thought. I pulled out my trusty ID (don’t ever lose THAT when you travel or you become non-existent) and signed for the box. It was about 12 inches by 12 inches and hermetically sealed with this ridiculous bullet-proof tape. I had to borrow scissors just to get into it. When I finally cracked open the cardboard and pulled out the reams of bubble wrap I saw it nested in there…
The cutest little Red Hot Chicken baby you have ever seen! We had discussed adopting one but I didn’t expect my husband to surprise me like this! He is just the best.
See we were reading about a newly discovered island off of Hawaii (between Niihau and Kauai off the Na Pali Coast). It’s a teeny tiny place called Quitsquawki’n Island. But the most interesting thing about Quitsquawki’n isn’t that no known human has ever set foot on it before 2005. Nor is it the fact that this pristine environment could have a dynamite surfing industry if developed.
No, the most interesting fact is an exotic new breed was discovered to exclusively inhabit this island. Scientists named the breed chickenus timerus. Though they have only been studied for a few months, they draw several specific conclusions about chickenus timerus...
· They are very orderly and serious about getting things done (even to the point of being a bit pushy);
· They bring discipline to chaos, yet insist on breaks and moderation;
· They thrive when they have contact with a certain type of human – those who work hard, play hard, and have a sense of humor (like entrepreneurs);
Most importantly, without human contact, they are susceptible to catching the costly Procrastinating Human Flu, which could wipe out their small population. My company was dispatched immediately to provide a solution and a purpose for the chickenus timerus.
Why did they choose me? I ask myself that same thing. See even though Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were pulling out all the stops to adopt their own chickenus timerus, (now Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher are trying to jump onboard too) the scientists knew the breed would quickly die out unless they live in an entrepreneurial household. (Somehow I believe my relationship as Ralph Waldo Emerson’s niece – 8 generations back - might have also impressed the scientists more so than the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith.)
While I was in Chicago, my husband, John worked with the scientists to secure adoption rights of the chickenus timerus and we got them!!!! That’s right! Red Hot Copy is now the official guardian of the chickenus timerus breed. But of course we must be very cautious about who is permitted to adopt. The lineage of the breed depends on it.
At this time, the only way to officially adopt a chickenus timerus is by enrolling as an attendee at the Speed Copywriting Workshop taking place in Los Angeles April 20-22. There are only 6 slots left at the time of this email. So don’t wait if you’re serious. Sign up now.
The Red Hot Chicken says,
"It's Time to Write Killer Copy that Sells FAST!"
Already enrolled? Start preparing the nursery because YOU are eligible to take home a chickenus timerus from Los Angeles later this month. You will make a fine guardian!
Sorry Angelina.
Warmly,
Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero
P.S. There are only a few seats left. My guarantee is if you don't make at LEAST an additional $10,000 by this time next year I will personally refund your entire tuition out of my pocket. Check it out at www.speedcopywritingworkshop.com
