    Excellent point, John! Thanks for sharing that. Do you have an author, or did you write that?

    Reminds me of the classic: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

      I actually think I wrote it.

      Thats the trouble with the truth, sometimes it's boring, but there's nothing boring about when it puts you in mercedes cl600.

    Good!

    There are many risks in this industry, but people who afraid of them never succeed. I got scammed a thousand times (MLMs, free trials, useless clickbank producta, etc), but didn't lose motivation and kept persuing the success. Now, I'm glad I did it.

    Good one John.

    Trying to avoid scams means that your attention is placed on scams. Guess what you attract? Scams.

    This is so true, John! If we want to venture down the road of entrepreneurialism, we absolutely have to take calculated risks and test out unproven concepts in order to experience breakthroughs. People with Type-B personalities may not be cut out for this, because they want the "safe" way out, and perhaps a j.o.b. satisfies those tendencies more satisfactorily.

    After all, whether you're an dyed in the wool entrepreneur or employee, either path will consume a significant part of your waking hours and if you're unhappy about taking these risks, then this path of the entrepreneur may not be for you.

      100% Right on man, but what those type B guys and gals don't understand is that they're actually less secure than those that own their own destinies. Know what I mean?

    It all boils down to the fact that success is a product of taking risks? And sure, there are people out there who are wanting to scam you, but if you don't take the plunge you will never know!

    Its better to attempt and fail/succeed than to not even try!
