On my libertarian email list yesterday I shared a probability problem (off topic, but I had my reasons). I told them I would send the answer, with solution, today.

What that meant in practice:
 

Yesterday I received hundreds of emails from people wanting to know if they had the correct answer. (I'm not complaining; I'm glad I have such an engaged list!)

Today, after I sent the solution, I received emails from a whole bunch of people insisting that my answer was wrong.

(By the way, I'm of course not actually upset or anything. I consider myself very fortunate to have people who read what I write and grapple with what I say. I don't want anyone to think otherwise.)

I think the reason the problem grabbed people the way it did is that it forced them to think differently.

It's like the Monty Hall problem: three doors, one with the grand prize. You choose door number 2. For fun, Monty opens door number 3 and shows you that the grand prize isn't behind that one.

The question: should you switch your choice to door number 1 now or stick with door number 2, your original choice?

And the answer is that you should switch!

It seems like that can't be right, but it is.

Well, in a business sense, Jay Abraham challenges you to think in a different way.

That's what he did for me. He helped me see things I would never have seen on my own.

I would have gone on sticking with door number 2, and doing all kinds of other things that seemed right but that actually were more likely to keep me from the grand prize.

The list of world-renowned businessmen and entrepreneurs who call Jay the greatest business and marketing genius of our time is long and impressive.

I can attest from personal experience that all the praise you see for him all over the Internet -- and in tons of print magazines from back in the days when people read those -- is absolutely spot on.

Very few of us come out of the womb with everything we need to know and all the right instincts we need for big success.

We don't often change our thinking on our own. We need to be jolted into it.

Jay is that jolt.

Attend his live presentation, open to the public. It's normally not cheap to listen to this guy.
