Great Partnerships

The Law of Attraction, “the right mindset”, and “just believing” are all great, but what most people seem to miss is that they have to think and put in the work to be successful in business. My husband’s favorite saying is “People don’t want to think.” I am beginning to believe him as I hear about so many “takers” for get rich ‘effortlessly’  programs that I see offered on the web.

The ads read “Join my (insert name of a precious metal here) Club, Mastermind, Group” “Go from 0 to 1 million in a year” “I will teach you how I did ‘it’.” “Read these testimonials from all of the others who have also done ‘it’!” “Get in before it’s too late.” “Just pay me $100,000 and you are in”.

These ‘takers’ should wake up! They can start by reading the names on the testimonials. Most of these offers seem to be circle games of ‘insiders’– A joins B’s group, B joins C’s group, and then C joins A’s group. So the insiders’ $100,000s just get passed around the circle.

The only money “made” is from outsiders X, Y, and Z who join one of the groups and pay the fee without getting it back from an ‘insider’. The outsiders you will supposedly get their pay off when they follow the teachings of the guru and do ‘it’. The only catch is that by the time the guru tells them how to do ‘it’, ‘it’ doesn’t work any more because other outside suckers have caught on. They found out that this is no magic ‘it’- and they have moved on to the next . Hopefully, many of them will finally realize that they do have to think for themselves, put in the work and invest a lot more than money to become successful.
