We in the Woods household are fans of Rod Serling and The Twilight Zone, a program I was watching in reruns even as a kid.

There's an episode in which a gangster finds himself, after death, in a glorious place where he has all the attention of the ladies, he never loses at gambling, and everything goes his way.

At first he couldn't be happier, of course.

But after a while the thrill is all gone. When you know you can never lose, the excitement of victory is just drained away.

Frustrated, he says: "Maybe I don't belong in heaven. Maybe I should have gone to the other place."

At which point he is told: "This is the other place."

Some things I do are huge successes. But not everything I do. Some things generate only so-so results, and still others are downright floperoos.

For me, that actually keeps things exciting. It keeps me on my toes. I always need to be thinking, as well as learning new things, in order to tip the scales of probability as far in the direction of success as is possible here on Earth.

So no, I won't always win -- and where would be the excitement in that? -- but I still want to maximize my chances of winning.

To do that, I regularly try new things, and in fact I regularly learn new things from people who have a track record of giving me ideas that work.

Just one idea from this guy generated $40K for me. Oh, and his advice prevented me from making, if you can believe it, a seven-figure mistake.

So you know what? I listen to him.

Let's tip those scales in your favor by having you listen to him as well:
