Say Farewell to the Mark Joyner Farewell Packages ... ... and read on to find out what Mark's up to now. That's it folks ... At $999 the Farewell Packages didn't last long! They're all sold out. We might have a few left at the end of the day, but the official site is down and ordering is turned off. If you want to get on a waiting list for any
possible remainders, please email virginia@aesop.com. I sure am happy for the folks who were fortunate enough to grab them. They are shaping up to be a great group of people! And they're taking the net by storm - the evidence of which you're already seeing ... I'll update this page more later on, but here are some questions you may have ... 1. What's going to happen to Aesop now? Well, now that all the different subsidiaries of Aesop are sold off, are we going to just jump ship and leave town? Not hardly. Aesop Marketing Corporation, the legal entity, will remain in place - mainly to protect the owners of the Farewell Package from those who would violate the license. It's more valuable to the owners if the license is protected. We're also going to keep staff in place long enough to: a. Ship off the remaining packages (all should be out the door by 8 August). b. Clean up our books and settle all accounts. c. Resolve any and all past issues. And by the way, if you have any past issues that need to be resolved, please just visit our support desk and let us know. 2. What happened to ____ who used to work at Aesop? Well, many of them are now doing consulting and freelance work! Virginia Duan, current company President, is currently putting together a consulting and development firm comprised of many Aesop employees directly trained by me. If you need marketing consultation, copywriting, web development, graphic design, computer programming ... They can do it all. Contact Virginia directly for more details. 3. What's Mark going to do now? Well, in about two years, I'm going to launch a major philanthropic project. I've hinted about this here and there ... Sorry, I can't reveal any details about it at all. When it happens, you'll know - believe me. Meanwhile, I'm launching a little project called "The Free Agent Path." To explain what that's about, here's a little background: I'm out of the Internet Marketing business for good. Actually, I'm pretty much out of business for good - in a sense. See, I don't want to run any enterprises that involve commerce directly with customers anymore. It's funny, we all get in to business for one reason: because we think it will give us the freedom (money and time) to follow our dreams. So, we quit our jobs, go in to business for ourselves, and in the beginning it's happy. We made the break and it feels great! Then a year or two down the road we wake up and we realize that we're working 18 hours a day, we're not free, we're not happy, and we're in a worse situation than we were in when we had "jobs." Then, someone comes along and says, "Hey, why don't you just hire someone? Let them do the work for you?" That's it! It seems like the answer to your prayers. For a while it gives you hope, but then you realize that you're still working 18 hours a day, you're still not happy, and now you have even more stress because managing people is no easy task ... So, what do you do? Well, after having made all the mistakes in the world, I've found another way. There is a way to be truly free without all the stress. That's what The Free Agent Path is all about. It's going to be 100% free for everyone to use. That's it for now :-) All the best, Mark Mark Joyner
