Death of Jeffrey Mayer -- Online Marketer

I follow Jeff's online newsletter... didn't know how many of you knew him.

He has a website at http://www.succeedinginbusiness.com

To our dear family or readers, clients and friends,

On April 27, my partner in life and business, Jeffrey Mayer, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly.

As his wife, and best friend of 17 years, I felt it important that you hear this from me.

Jeff shared his wisdom and knowledge with everyone and was always concerned about making sure people were living their dreams and not other people's expectations.

The last phone call Jeff made was to a consulting client who was having a bad day and had not closed any of the sales that he was relying on. The last words Jeff said to his client were, "I know we have another 30 minutes to talk today, but instead I want you to hang up the phone and spend that time getting on the phone and finding another customer that says 'yes'."

Jeff's motto in life was Everyday gets better.

Many of you probably know of me as more of Jeff's horseback riding partner, surfing partner, or the person that he wrote about in many of his newsletters. (On too many occasions, I made him leave my name out.)

An hour did not pass in our home that Jeff and I were not discussing or debating the ways in which people in life and business are going about it.

I have received many e-mails over the past few weeks asking, "Where is my newsletter?"

Here it is, and I hope that you will bear with me for a week or two as I gather myself, fail at a few things, and delve into the next newsletter that we had been working on together.

Mitzi Mayer

Just another wake-up call...

Had never heard of him before, but the wealth and depth of knowledge stands out instantly... Fresh and exciting outlook on sales (and proof that nothing beats a long list of glowing testimonials)

Man... with Corey Rudl, now Jeff Mayer...

It's got my attention...

No more Mr. Invincible...

I honestly don't know what to think -- it has affected me deeply.

I know exactly what you mean JP.

Corey was a big wake-up call for me. I share the same passion for fast expensive cars that took his life.

I also have an even bigger passion for fast airplanes and aerobatics.

I've been living life at full throttle for so long, I don't know any other way.

But when Cory died, it made me do a deep self-analysis of my own risk levels.

It has slowed me down a lot.

Don't get me wrong, I still am going to live life to the fullest. After all sports cars were designed to go fast and airplanes aren't meant to sit in hangars. Far too many people are so afraid of dying, that they never really LIVE.

But, I have backed down quite a bit on "competing with myself". No more trying to push it just a little faster and harder than last time. No more trying to see if I can just pull that one extra "G" before my vision starts to fade and I blackout.
It's just like you said... No more Mr. Invincible...

Thanks for letting us know about Jeff. I never met him, but I respected his work.

My prayers will be with his family.

Eric
