I am going to hear from a lot of runners about that subject line.

But listen to Tom Woods Show episode #2601, featuring the great Mark Sisson, when it comes out tonight. We discuss his new book Born to Walk.

In that book Sisson, a former endurance runner himself, points out that the promises of the running boom have failed to materialize, and that your health would be vastly improved if you quit the running and walked instead.

Regardless of how we feel about running, one of the most famous runners of all time was Roger Bannister, and for an obvious reason: he was the first person to crack the four-minute mile.

But here's what's interesting: a whole bunch of people also managed four-minute miles not long after Bannister did.

Why is that? Had they been physically incapable until that very moment?

Or had the idea that "it can't be done" simply held them back from what they were capable of?

Once Bannister did it, it became possible for so many others.

Likewise, earning your first dollar, particularly in the online world, is a crucial psychological breakthrough. It's a matter of proof of concept. It shows you it can be done.

That's what you can accomplish with the great John Thornhill. Do as he tells you, and you have an excellent chance of breaking that barrier and proving to yourself: this is doable.

So don't try to run a four-minute mile. It's not good for you. Instead, break that other barrier here:
