I realize it’s not my own personal curse. Within the world of people who do business on the Internet, it’s a truism that whenever you launch something new, there always<\/span> is something that goes wrong.<\/p>\n

I don’t mean a “glitch.” I mean a genuine crisis. The only mystery is what the crisis will be. (Almost always it’s one you never even imagined could occur.)<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, just as we were about to open the doors to the first-ever worldwide radio station imaging teleseminar, our server died.<\/p>\n

I’m not talking about some little rinky-dink computer we keep out back with the chickens. I’m talking about the server on which danoday.com and a number of other websites are hosted, courtesy of the one of the largest Web hosting companies in the world.<\/p>\n

Servers like that don’t just stop working. But that one did, and we spent an entire week rebuilding the site. (It would have been finished faster, but I was helping.)<\/p>\n

On Monday evening I literally was about to click on the button to begin accepting registrations to our free teleseminar with the legendary Chet Holmes, “How To Double Your Sales By Doing Less, More Intensively,”<\/a> when a brand-new technical crises arose.<\/p>\n

I’ll spare you the details, but I’d never even HEARD of this happening. <\/p>\n

I’m exhausted. My head hurts. I’m too wiped out to craft a gracious invitation, so instead…<\/p>\n

If you’d like to register<\/a> (it’s free), now’s the time.<\/p>\n
