The reason I want to share this with you is....

10 replies
because I love you and I always have. You just never knew.


Oh really?

They may as well say that. It never rings true when someone explains why they are selling at a discount or why they letting me in the limited edition great product . "We just want you to be successful" ... No.. you just want to make money. You might want me to be successful too, but your main motivation is to make yourself money.

Maybe I'm too close to marketing. I just call BS every time I hear a claim like that. It doesn't stop me from buying if I want the "thing" but I do roll my eyes.

    Ask my long time list members.

    I have done things for them personally that even when offered money , I would not take it .

    I have been marketed to from people that claimed my best interest and knew better of it though.

      If I want to do something solely to help people be more successful, I do it for free.

      I charge for most things because I believe you deserve a profit for your work, and you need to charge to get people to take things seriously. I try not to promote things that I don't know will help people, but that's a whole different issue.

      The really critical stuff that will help the most people is also more "generic." That stuff I do give away, either for signing up for the newsletter or for nothing at all. I tend not to believe people who talk too much about their intentions while asking for cash. There are exceptions, and some make sense, but generally speaking... Nah.

        My rule of thumb is asking this question first...How will this affect my character and integrity?

        If the answer is a negative, scratch totally, or back to the drawing board!

        When you lose respect in you biz, you've pretty much lost the most important ingredient! IMHO...

        Scott, thanks for the lovin

        Not seein a whole lot of that being spread around here as of late!

        PS. I love a man in uniform!:p

    Well, okay, you have the Bud Lite, just don't ask for my Miller Lite. That is definitely off-limits!

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

    "It never rings true..."? Yep, you're too close to marketing. Also your premise is flawed. So, just because I charge for something, because I have bills to pay too, I can't offer a discount on one of my products? That means I don't truly want to help someone? I see where you're coming from but you used the word "never" and I strongly disagree with you on that point. It's "sometimes" not true and sometimes it is.
