I am attending the underground seminar in Washington hosted by Yannick Silver.
I am very happy to realize that I am at the internet marketing level where every speaker has provided me with a gold nugget I can implement right away and that will make a diiference in my business.
I personally think that internet marketing totally rocks but not everyone shares my opinion. Hence, when I passed the American customs, the agent asked me what I do for a living. I said I was a doctor, so far so good!
Then he asked me what I was going to do in Washington. I answered I was going to an internet marketing seminar. He frowned...
He asked me if I had a web site, I answered I have over 100. He totally freaked out right there. He started screaming I was a scam, I was not a doctor. I kept answering I was a doctor. He demanded to see my medical license immediately. I told him it is hanging on my office wall. He kept screaming I was ripping-off people on the internet, I was not a doctor and he started writing furiously on his computer for several minutes using only two fingers mumbling he was going to show me..
That did not stop there. Still screaming at me, telling me I was not a doctor, I was a fraud, he told me to follow him and told me to SIT DOWN and wait right there.
After a couple of minutes, the second American customs agent screamed from his office:"NATHALIE, come in here right now!" ( now we were on a first name basis).He started telling me again I was a fraud and not a doctor and that his job was to make sure I was legitimite and not planning to harm people by using the internet,etc,etc
He checked on his computer and saw that I was indeed a doctor. Not changing his attitude for a second, he said rudely:"Give me documents for this "Internet Marketing" thing you are going to.
Yannick is his creative mind had theamed the seminar: Underground marketing! Not good for me.
The custom agent started reading the seminar invitation which went something like: Congratulations agent "French Connection" (my code name I had chosen), you have acquired secret agent status. Here are your encoded mission orders, etc, etc
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!
Since I was playing along with Yannick's theme, all this long 55 pages secret letter was in a file I had named "TOP SECRET" in big black letters.
They let me go but I dread the next time I go through American customs, the text the agent put with anger in my file is going to bounce back in my face!
To be continued...

P.s. Yannick got a big laugh out of my misfortune.
