It will be quite a pearl if you can find it without too much trouble. I’m especially intrigued by the part about hiding from the law. Probably related to Phil’s admitted drug use back in the day, but I’d like to see what their actual allegation was.
I can’t recall all the details now, but beat up a man and his wife after a business dispute. They dropped charges after he paid them a big settlement.
By Phil’s own account he was mean and violent in those days.
I knew I remembered correctly. Here’s a reference to it elsewhere:
Q: How was the idea for $1,000,000aire Blueprints born?
A: Founder and Publisher, Tom Spinks says that the magazine became reality because of his frustration with other business publications he has read for the last 30 years. He wanted to read more than an entertaining story. He wanted to know how they did it—he wanted a blueprint to follow.
Q: Who do you interview for your stories?
A: We interview self-made millionaires. Who better to teach someone how to build a million-dollar business than an individual who has already built a million-dollar business? They tell you how they got their clients instead of just giving you a nice story about their success.
Q: How can people become millionaires from reading the blueprints of self-made millionaires?
A: $1,000,000aire Blueprints is written in an easy to follow question and answer format which allows people to follow the lead of a self-made millionaire. We really show readers exactly what the self-made millionaire did, every step of the way. Self-made millionaires share how they got their clients, their greatest ad campaigns, their most productive mail pieces, exact telephone scripts that produced customers and all of their defining moments with our readers so they can learn from them and how they can apply these techniques and strategies to their own business.
Q: Who have you featured in your magazine?
A: We have featured many self-made millionaires. Dan Newman started a collection agency in his house. His company now has annual billings of $75 million. Phil Robertson, “The Duckman,” invented a duck call that he now sells in over 1,000 Wal-Mart stores. Chris Faulkner is the founder of CI Host, a Web hosting company with revenues of $60 million projected for 2005, along with Dippin Dots founder, Curt Jones and fitness icon, Tamilee Webb.
