The Economy Doesn't Suck You Do

Wow - they watch "the secret" and don't get rich?

I don't think you do. Unless you are fully supporting yourself, your home, and possibly a family - you don't know how hard it is now for people who are losing their jobs. This is not an imaginary recession and even marketers need to pay attention and position themselves well to keep earning online.

I agree that marketers are in a good position to survive - but remember it's many of those people who "suck" that we count on to pay for our products.

Omari, I like your outlook... expose people once, then leave it alone. Makes good sense.

This is true if a person REFUSED to think outside the box or even kept an open mind to consider something out of their norm, due diligence on solutions not considered, and keeps doing things the same way or continue to use failing, dated philosophy and methods.

But to say this in a blanket statement is selfish and elitist.

Usually, rich people say the things, especially if they do nothing in their life to give back...their "gift" of giving back, to some, is simply "being" successful.

This lacks of a proper amount of empathy and humanity.

The reason being, everything in the media , educational system and the way a person is raised is : Go to school, get a college degree, get a job, save and invest in financial markets, buy a house, have 2.5 kids and a spouse, get 2 cars, dog, picket fence, retire and go fishing.

I got slapped out of this delusional path toward the american dream by yours truely, Ronald Reagan.

He may have not started this erosion, but he put an exclamation point and christening by swinging a 175 lb. SLEDGE-HAMMER into this american "tradition" with his presidency.

Even today, what is being taught in school thats even close to "financial independence", even at the highest levels of colleges and schools?

Nothing. Most are "veiled" philosophies or methods that use financial independence type terms and keywords, but are "jobs" under the guise.

Also, unless you buy a Franchise or buy a building to make a store or manufacturing or office building suite for business, we are "educated" , in general, that anything that does NOT fall under these or conforms under these methods is considered a scam, ponzy, get rich quick, circus act, street cons, white collar con, super elixir wagon salesman, etc.., ie., INTERNET MARKETING, MAIL ORDER, CLASSIFIED ADS,ETC.

Thats why some immigrants come here and do well.....they "still" have the philosophy WE USED to have before 1920....work , yes, but always aspiring to be a business owner and making a small business, no matter how small, even if you have a job.

The formation of Corporations have eroded this american instinct from our heritage.

The media and educational system pushed this idea hard.

Why would corporations foster independence, when they need more workers,then, in their ever expanding growth while slowly ELIMINATING their small, pesky competition(small business owners), create a monopoly where they dictate the market....."its either us or you do without".

Now, if , after a person gets pummeled thru the years, and has simply closed the door in his mind, without earnest investigation of legitamite out the box philosophies, then that person has fashioned their own prison.

The best charity isn't money, clothes, shelter, food stamps, aid, subsidies, etc.,

Charity that does not make eventually independant is not charity, its simply giving more and fancier crutches, fostering more muscular atrophy.

True charity and giving back is knowledge, truth, education, all that works NOW, TODAY.

Because with REAL truth, knowledge, education of a discipline, charity would be unnecessary.

But this method requires a revolutionary civilization/world and mindset of both the masses and leaders.

The goal of monetary supremacy and monopoly cannot coincide with this.

Only if a person refused to open their mind to other possibilites can you wash your hands of them, especially after repeated attempts to inform them , advice or information that cost nothing but their time and attention.

But to say , " you suck the economy doesn't", people with this sentiment need a human soul transplant.

Might as well title this thread, " I made it --you did'nt--shut up and don't bother me ", or "I'm doing great so F*** you if your not".

The 13 th Warrior

People have to focus on their own economy. For example, when the economy was doing great their were still people who were struggling financially. The economy is like the weather. Sometimes it is sunshine, rain, snow or sleet. People have to focus on improving their prosperity and success consciousness. There will always be opportunity in any economy.

Wow,
This has turned out to be a great conversation. Thanks everyone for their input.
I understand both sides of the story, the side I wrote about originally when I was basically saying that we take control of our own finances and I also understand the side that says life sucks for some people.

Anyway, I still think we can all prosper even in an economic crisis

I agree with you completely. I think that are far too many discouraged Americans out there. It seems that people have completely forgotten what makes America so great. Anyone has the opportunity to pursue any dream they desire regardless of how bad times may be. There is always opportunity;its up to the individual to have the courage to seek it.

Actually the economy does suck. There is really no relation to the economy sucking and the ability for an internet marketer to be successful. We're lucky enough that we can sell thousands of products to potentially hundreds of millions of people. People in the offline world do not have this chance since they are probably selling only a few items to a small local region or doing by the hour work.

Dusting yourself off and trying again is a really important step. I know that for me personally I have fallen off my horse many times when it comes to make money online. When I have dusted myself and tried again I found a better way to make money.

As a believer in the law of attraction, I have made more money since last year than I have when the economy was much better. Not denying the economy is in trouble. Just not for me
