What's wrong with me? I just want to BUY!

I think this has just never happened to me before....

The last 2 hours I have been feeling this urge to buy a internet marketing
course and I've just been looking at $200 and $400 ones :confused:

I guess I'm just looking for something to sink my teeth into but this is really,
really strange because I usually not buy internet marketing stuff online
anymore

Looks like the IM world has done some behind brain programming that I'm
not aware!

Have you ever had this feeling?

    Yes, but I would not recommend that you buy anything. There are too many nice blogs and nice warrior forum posts to read through.

    What do you feel like a $400 course will teach you that you don't already know?

    Let me know what you're trying to learn, maybe I can just answer you in this thread and save you $400.

    lol you probably just want to hone your skills a little more. Nothing wrong with that... Maybe you just want some new information that you haven't stumbled upon yet.. Hey, as long as you can afford it there's nothing wrong with that. Just make sure you pick a good course. Think of it as a small investment for your future...

      I'm guessing that your urge to buy is less about a course and more about just buying something. It's often referred to as 'retail therapy' and it hits men as hard as women. We just tend to do our therapy sessions in different stores.

      When it hits me, I head for the nearest tackle shop. I come home with a new fishing rod or reel, and my wife asks me if I really needed "another" new outfit. My answer? "But I only have one new rod and reel outfit - this one. All the rest are my old ones."

    A wise man once said 'When the Warrior is ready, the product will appear'.

    Actually he didn't, but he would have done if he'd thought of it. Save your money, and then you'll still have it when you're really presented with the need for a product or genuinely want something you know you'll use.

    By the way, I think the tags on the bottom of the thread may be trying to tell you something

      LOL!!!!!!!! "The wisdom tags"

      Funny stuff.... Yeah I probably won't buy anything!
      The funny thing is this was like a feeling you get for candy, when you just
      have to get something sugar! Never got this regarding IM products hehe

      True.... Now we just have to find away to program this urge through sound, video, words and
      we have made it big time!!

    Yeah... I don't know what it is!
    The thing is I'm not trying to learn anything, I just want to buy something!

    It's sick I know! It's just how I've felt the last hours!
    I'm never like this so that's why I just wanted to share this with you folks and
    see if any of you have ever had this urge to just buy something

    Ha! Not an entirely strange concept. I find myself from time to time buying new products even though I'm telling myself the whole time that I don't need them. I can stay focused on my tasks at hand, but for some reason, those little things find their way into my bank account.

    Some of those purchases are good, though. The Slap EzineArticles like a RedHeaded Stepchild WSO is well worth the 7 bucks for sure!

    Suddenly everything online is "weird." Fat loss tricks. Muscle building tricks. And more. But what's REALLY weird is getting others to send you FREE LEADS:

    I know how you feel...I use to buy at least 4 to 10 products a month...
    and I did that for 3 years dude...

    I would wait to get paid from my ****ty day time job, which was paying be $8.00 a hour and I would spend sometimes all of my pay for that pay period on anything at that time I thought would make me a Zillion Dollars in 30 days...you know what Im talking about...

    Anyway until I stopped the insane merry go round of Information OverLoad these urges have slowly stopped...

    Im not saying I dont buy new products from time to time, just not 10 a month any more...

    Stay Strong My Young Friend....

    this happens to me all the time, my only problem is that I never think twice about it, I go on a complete spending spree and sometimes never even read the damn thing.

    I have been getting into the habit of spending my extra money on my fiancee, she has a way of making me feel better than a marketing book

    Well, I suggest that you keep yourself occupied doing other things. One of the worst things is that you are idle and surfing the sales pages looking for "the thing".

    Keep yourself away from these sources and spend only on the stuff that contributes directly to what it is that you are doing on a daily basis. Those courses rarely teach anything new (even though their sales letters suggest otherwise).

    Another good place to check whether it is really worth it to purchase it is at the reviews forums.
