Who does this guy think he is?

I just got the following email in my inbox from a friend, and the guy I got emailed about is crazy!

Read it for yoursef what he said about me…

——————-

Avery…I hate this kid. This…punk. I have busted my ass for 30 years, in jobs that required hours of boredom, sometimes violence, lousy bosses and even hard work. Some paid, some didn’t. I started business and made money, and lost money. That was before I thought of the internet as a business. In my youth, the only way to get rich with no investment was to rob liquor stores! A whole lot of them. Or to marry wisely.

I finally woke up to the internet being the best opportunity to come along in centuries. But I learned it’s not easy. It takes some work. More than that, it takes smart work – otherwise a lot of time can get wasted. Years even.

So, you can understand how I feel when some cocky 13 year old tells me he started right off making a pile of cash by playing video games. And then lost it. And then, at the ripe and wizened old age of 17 (shoot me now) made a bigger fortune.

I feel like bullwhipping the brat!

But I can’t. Mainly because he’s too damn smart. He can figure out this much while he’s still in high school, so I figure he will own the internet before he’s old enough to drink. I need this kid’s info, I need his insights. He may own the world someday, but he’ll let enough of his tricks spill that anyone who listens can own a county or two.

OK, maybe I’m going overboard here. But the bare facts are, what he has to say is worth a lot of money, and will only be worth more as he figures more stuff out. And he writes it out in a way that even a monkey can understand (though the monkey might miss the humor). This is one of the best books I’ve seen, and it doesn’t come with the smarmy tone that most “gurus” adopt.
And yes, he is so smart he still pisses me off. But not so much that I won’t listen. Because Avery makes me money every time he speaks, and I can’t wait to hear what he has to say next.

At least the guy put in a few good words about me…

Anyway, I put his “words of wisdom” on this page so everyone can see how crazy he is!
