We have all been judged at one point. But if you have ever judged others, particularly if you feel your judgments — no matter how small — were inconsequential or meaningless, you have to watch this video.

My wife shared this video with me yesterday, and I had a hard time trying to stop myself from tearing up. Watch it. Notice how even the toughest and biggest bullies react. It’s quite amazing.

Here at the Big Seminar in Atlanta, the same question seems to pop up over and over again. I walk with a cane now, and people keep asking me, “Michel, What’s wrong? Are you OK? What happened?”

I don’t blame them. My wife told me I was turning as white as a ghost, so we’ve decided to go back to our room to take some time — and pressure — off my spine.

I thought to myself, “Maybe I should take advantage of this downtime to blog about this — that way, more people will know what’s going on.”

You see, I have a broken back. Literally.

Short post. In fact, it’s a short post about short posts. Looks like I’ve been hit by the Twitter bug. Follow me on twitter: twitter.com/drsuccess.

It’s also added to my Facebook profile. So as I “twitter,” it updates my Facebook status. If you’re a Facebook member, add me as a friend and follow me there: profile.to/michelfortin. Finally, Sylvie and I have a “Facebook Fan Page.” Won’t you become a fan? Go here: companies.to/licorice.

A disgruntled copywriter wrote me demanding clarifications. He believes most copywriters lie and exaggerate their claims of wealth. Let’s call him “Chuck.”

I understand where Chuck is coming from. Because I’ve been where he is. So I responded, not because I wanted to acquiesce to his demands but because I wanted to give him hope, ideas, and, dare I say it, a million-dollar education.

He says he will be asking other copywriters the same question, and even threatened (although, that may be too harsh of a word) to publish my reply.

For all I know, this copywriter may be gathering information to create his own product. Who knows? (If he is, I must say that his strategy is brilliant. And if he does create a product out of this, good for him!)

I’m reprinting the conversation here since I believe it will help a lot of other struggling copywriters out there. Also, I’m opening myself a little more than usual. I guess you can say that I’m exposing the real “Michel Fortin.”

My answer might surprise you…

Just a quick note to let you know I’m still alive. I’ve been crazy-busy, as my wife and I are about to pre-launch our upcoming mega-product, “Success Chef.”

Over 200 videos and tutorials, and counting!

Nevertheless, I will be posting a new article next week. But until then, here’s a quick little video… Do you recognize the person interviewing me? He’s our client, a friend, and a very well-known TV figure. Yes, it’s John Daly!

You may remember him from the widely syndicated show, “Real TV,” on Fox. And now, he’s John Daly, the host of The Real Money Show. My interview is only one of a handful of top marketers John grilled on video…

Just an update on things.

I’m typing this from my hotel room in Anaheim, California, where my wife and I are speaking at a seminar. My Internet connection is shoddy and intermittent, so I can’t do much right now. Even typing this blog post feels like pulling teeth.

To my coaching students, I will be answering your emails once I return to my office, or this weekend if I have a chance and the connection improves.

I will be back early next week, posting an explosive new article on how to double or even triple your profits using an amazing twist on something we already do as copywriters and business owners.

In the meantime, glide on over to my new site, Copywriters Library, where I have over 6 hours of audio interviews with master copywriters Gary Halbert and John Carlton, and 2 of my complete books reprinted free for you.

As you might have seen on some blogs, people have “guest” bloggers replacing them while, say, they’re on vacation or a trip.

You’ve probably seen this on my friend Brian Clark’s blog or others, of late. And I really like this, since it keeps the blog going without interruptions.

Well, I’m not going on vacation. But I will be incognito for a while as my wife and I move into a new home starting next week, until the end of the month (and give or take another couple of weeks in August to settle in).
