Hi,
How’s it going?
Today I wanted to send a simple email
about some announcements about bipolar
disorder.
I actually have to take off pretty quick
because I have to figure out how to
get out of my driveway.
We have 4 inches of solid
ice on the roads. I don’t even
know how I am going to drive today.
But I have to because I have places to go
and people to see 🙂
Here are the announcements:
1. I have put together an article on having
a low cost fun Christmas. I also have an
audio recording that I am sending out. It
has REALLY important information on
how to have a good Christmas. There are
a number people on my list struggling
on my list that don’t feel they can have a
good Christmas because of financial problems.
This article and audio recording will be
sent out tomorrow. Andrea was going to
post it today but it’s her son’s birthday
and she doesn’t have time. I’ll have her
get it up tomorrow.
2. Yesterday was the day angry emails, a
few angry posts and angry phone calls. I know
in December I get a spike in hate mail,
death threats and people all mad at me. Why?
Well I think that when seasons change,
holiday stress comes and unstable people aren’t
doing well, they take it out on me. It’s
happen EVERY year since I started.
A person who has bipolar disorder who works
for me asked, “Don’t you get sick and tired
of hearing this type of stuff in December
every year?” I said, “yea I do and it’s annoying
but I realize the people doing this stuff
are sick and not really in their right mind
or not thinking clearly.”
So I just ignore all of this.
3. New program coming.
I want to tell you about a new program
that I talked about in November. But it
addresses one angry post I saw yesterday.
It said:
“Every piece of email I receive from this
Bipolar Supporter stuff starts talking about
money and asking if I would pass up a doctor
who costs more for someone who is incompetent
but charges less.
I am on Social Security Disability and have one
of the lowest levels of income…. below federal
poverty level. I have NO money!
This woman is mad at me. Why? I think because
yesterday I sent a daily email that basically
said, many people “get what they pay for
when it comes to doctors.” I was encouraging
people to shop for doctors and work with
doctors that know what they are doing when it
comes to their situation with bipolar disorder
as opposed to just jumping at the first
one that is a “deal.”
Anyway the person who wrote me is
mad obviously. I believe because of what I said
in my email. If I am guessing, she feels she
can’t afford a “Good” doctor and that my
advice is not for people like her. It is
for sure. She obviously has financial problems.
There are so many things that I could write
about what I think she could do to afford
treatment. I believe she is way off track.
I wanted to remind her and all the other
people on my list that I am going to be launching
a new program on how to get free and low cost
medication and treatment for bipolar disorder.
I, along with 7 other people, have been working hard
on this program for a while now. There’s going
to be a pilot program launched soon to test out
any bugs and then a full roll out to everyone
on my list. This program will be totally free
and paid for but yours truly.
Why isn’t it ready now? I don’t think some people
realize but I am NOT a drug company with billions
of dollars in my bank account and a staff of 1000
people waiting to work on projects. ALL these projects
are paid for by ME out of my own pocket and we have
up to 17 or so people who can work on things at any
one time. BUT there are a lot of projects that require
time and money. I have gotten zero grants and no
donations. I am not saying that for you to feel sorry
for me but so you know the deal.
Right now, I have 15 projects in development which
I think is pretty darn good. We have a great team
that works really hard. I think 80% of our team
has a mental illness or at least one. Some have
many. This is the reason we can get a lot done. Why?
The people who work for me are great problem solvers
so they can get like 3 to 4 times what a regular
person can get done in the same time frame. They
spend little time figuring stuff out and more time
doing things.
BUT, every day I have to decide what projects will be
worked on. Which projects will get what money.
The low cost and affordable treatment for bipolar
disorder is a top priority. And I will be making
this totally free. It will be for anyone and everyone.
So the next time you want to send me an angry
email or complain that I haven’t come out with this
or that fast enough, reread what I wrote and realize
how much we have done so far and also we only
have so much time and resources to get things done.
We all work as fast and as hard as possible.
As it stands now everyone that works for me
is working right up to Christmas and the day
after Christmas. At least 50% of the people
who work for me are working on Christmas
to get things done. Do I want you to feel
bad for me? NO. But I want to cut down
on the complaints on why projects aren’t
done faster.
3. I have a new guide coming out on how to
lose weight faster if you have bipolar disorder.
I have actually lost 60 pounds myself and kept
it off for 8 years. I have taught tons of people
my system.
I know with so many people with bipolar disorder,
their weight is a big problem. I want to help.
I have been working on this new guide for some
time as well. I am actually going to send it out to 75
people for free. (Warning-There’s over 160,000 people
who signed up for my list)
All they have to do is pay the shipping. It
will be like a free review trial. ALL details will
be explained Friday Morning at 9:00am EST. Also the first
25 people who respond get a free consultation
from me on how to lose weight faster and keep
it off (which I am an expert on). I will call you and
even pay for the phone call.
The first 3 people to respond will get a free
vacation certificate as well. As you might know, I have
a number of businesses. I am able to get vacation
certificates for a bunch of places in the US.
I will be giving away 3 vacation certificates
to the first 3 people to take me up on my free
trial.
Mark your calendar the December 21, 2007 at 10:00am.
You should go to www.bipolarcentral.com/weightloss
NOTE-This site doesn’t work now but it will
on that date. Just make a note of the site.
Actually Michele Soloway has used the program
and lost weight.
4. I will be hiring more new people for
a few new positions. Keep your eyes open
for an announcement over the next coming weeks.
5. For some reason I have had a bunch of people
ask about coming to my office to take a look
at my stuff. One guy posted that he wanted to
get one of my programs below:
SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http://www.bipolarsupporter.com/report11
SUPPORTING A CHILD/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http://www.bipolarparenting.com
HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http://www.survivebipolar.net
But wanted to know where he could go
to talk about it if he was unhappy with
the material. I think the person was
being a “wise guy.”
There is NO office people can come
and visit. Why? Can you imagine if
I had to staff a 24 hour a day or even
a 9 hour day office where people could
come by? Imagine the security costs.
For some reason I don’t think a lot of
people understand the economics of things.
If you have a big office with security
which you’re going to have to hire, that’s
going to take money away from research and
development. So you would wind up spending
more on the office and it’s overhead than
anything else. That makes no sense.
It’s like there was a support group
I USE to go to. There was like 8 to 11 people
there. It was great. They had okay speakers
and great food. Why were their so few people
there? They had ZERO dollars for a marketing
budget. They were more concerned with food
and handouts than they were in great
speakers and having a 100 people in attendance.
They did NO marketing because they spent all
their money on food. Can you believe that?????
Whenever I complained that they needed
to market themselves better to get more people
their, I heard, “We don’t have the money or
the budget.” I would say, “Well let’s cut the
fancy handouts out and stop serving food.”
They never did. Now they don’t exist. Why?
Someone reviewed the program and felt it
helped too few people. Is this insane or
what.
Everyday I have to make decisions based on
the longevity of this organization and reaching
and helping the most people. Having a office you
can come by and hang out in is not going to happen.
It doesn’t make any financial sense at all.
If that makes you mad, sorry.
Well I have to take off. I know for sure I’ll
get a lot of hate mail because of some of things
I wrote but oh well.
Have a great day.
Your Friend,
Dave
