Psychotherapist Shelley Bridgman interviews Chris Payne about LifeTools, internet marketing, and more

She heard me speak at Sarah Staar‘s London Internet Marketers Group Meetup, and asked to interview me.

The interview is broken into 5 parts.

In this first video I talk about how I set up my business LifeTools and grew it to a multi-million dollar business with 50,000 customers, mailing up to a million sales letters a year in the UK. I mention or show: MindLab, MindLab Proteus, Kindred Spirit magazine, Europress, Derek Meakin, Fun School educational software, Mini Office 2, Mini Office Professional, Computer Trade Weekly, Chris Anderson, Personal Computer Games magazine, Future Publishing, TED.com, New Computer Express, Games X magazine, Paul Scheele, Pete Bissonette, Learning Strategies Corporation, Paul McKenna, Atari ST User, Electron User, graphic designer Wendy Barratt, and Tools For Exploration (Terry Patten)…

Video 4. I share the one thing above all others I would advise to create success and fulfilment in life. I mention the experiencing self, working memory, George Miller’s “Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two” (Miller’s Law), how to become an authority, the OK plateau, upping your game, making a dent in the universe, and the movies Memento, The Notebook, and 50 First Dates!…

Shelley also left me a video testimonial in which she said:

“Creating products sounds daunting but Chris will teach anybody how to take it in bitesize chunks and progress through. What I have been most impressed with is that he has got a very clear insight into processes like this.

“So whether it is writing, book creation, product creation, internet marketing, I can really recommend him as a mentor who can take you through those steps and take you to the point where you have a really good product.”
