Do you have a Virtual Reality Complex?

Do you have a Virtual Reality Complex?

What is this phenomena? ...Well, it is something that I have seen exhibited by some of the more prolific posters here... It is something that prevents new Marketers from understanding what an 'acceptable' goal actually is... Quite frankly, it is something that has ruined a lot of lives - and may be ruining yours right now!

If you don't know me... My name is Adrian Browning. I am the world's most censored marketer, so it will serve you well to read this post in full before it gets closed or deleted.

Now... You have seen it, I see it and others may not even notice.. But this is something that is detrimental to your very security as a human being.

There actually are people who now gauge their success by how many posts they have made... how many 'views' their posts get.... or by how many times they log onto the internet and create bold faced lies about their personal achievements... all of these things create a faux reality for that person, that exists only whilst they are connected to the internet.

But what happens once they log out?

They are judged using the same variables that everyone else in 'the real world' are judged by... how big is your house? how many influential friends do you have? how many cars do you have? what is your net worth? are you a family man? do you provide for your family? are you doing respectable things with your life?

You see these are things that you can't lie about... These are the aspirations that your parents have for you, that your school teachers prepared you for and that, deep down, you WANT to achieve!

Now what made me come here and make this contribution? well, it's because I have seen that not too many of you have a correct sense of what is right or wrong.

People seem to want to make some sales so that they can "have enough money for Christmas"... So, then what happens after Christmas? ...When all of that money is spent, what next? ...You go back online looking for some other methods to "make some cash", right?

This is destructive living. Why? Because this is behavior that will have to be sustained in order for you to stay afloat. This means that you are trapping yourself in a cycle that keeps on turning.

You work - you get money - you spend money - you work - you get money - you spend money - you work - you get money - you spend money

Between those three actions, you have no time to actually create and maintain relationships with other people... you have no time to get out and explore this beautiful planet... you have no time to interact with your loved ones! You become a self induced slave to Hard Labor.

You've got it all messed up!

Your focus shouldn't be on "making extra cash" for Christmas... It should be on establishing income streams that will pump cash into your accounts for years and years to come.

More importantly, you should be asking: How can I convert my business into a machine that runs even when I am not there. - and then once you figure THAT out, your next question should be: How do I create 5 more of these?

Think longevity... don't just think about "Christmas", or "extra cash"... or "methods"...

You ought to be building sustainable income streams that will provide you with security. Because once that "method" stops paying out like it used to, or when your favorite website gets taken down - you'll be that thing that you never wanted to be... - you'll be a failure.

So THINK about what you are dedicating your time to, and then THINK is it really worth it? Because if you constantly have to 'work' for your money then you aren't actually in control of your life...

Remember, a business isn't a business if it's income isn't passive...

Don't be a bum
