90% Failure Rate Is Still Successful

Strengthen Core Foundations - Greg Jacobs <-- that's a link

The 90% thing....
You can kinda tell that Greg is new on the "scene" because he's approaching this topic rather openly. Not sure if he's been paying attention to Kern or what, but the open & honest guru approach is fairly new and Kern (well, Jenkins actually) is the one who pushed it into the "light", so to speak. (oh, and Greg I apologize... "Mage"; not 'guru').

Yet, what the man is trying to say is very (not only) true, but also very metaphysical and Asian (in mind set); which is why (I think) he makes reference to "hara", (actually pronounced ha-da).... and would probably be more identified with through the Chinese reference of "chi"; pronounced "chee".

I think Greg is right on point, really. Yet, his delivery IS pretty primitive for such a sensitive topic.

I mean, (Greg), you're telling people that have made a conscious choice to go down the Internet Marketing path that they may have f***ked up. You're saying, "Dude, you like shoulda made that left turn at Albequerque instead of goin' right.".... which in YOUR mind is you trying to be helpful, but in their mind (and that's who's the most important when you're attempting to relay a message.. the "receiver" of that message)... you're saying, "Yeah, you spent a grand on my s**t; either get with the program OR give it up 'cause YOU ain't gonna get it".

Thus some negative response... capice?

Yes, Greg... I agree with you wholeheartedly and "commend" you for even broaching the subject... BUT, its NOT the 'consumer' who is at fault. Why? Because they are "consuming"; just like the restaurant that serves the patron bad spaghetti gets sued instead of the 'consumer' of said spaghetti... even through the consumer 'ordered' said spaghetti.

Then again, its not the Marketer's fault, either. And THIS is why there's been very little done to rectify the "problem", thus far.

The IM industry is still too much in its infancy stages to understand itself enough to correct itself.

Just like Ford didn't realize that the assembly line was the best way to go until the 'industry' matured enough to correct the production quota flaw... which now results in an industry that is "too big to fail".... the IM industry on a whole needs to mature enough to recognize the different facets of its own existence in order to continue to flourish.

Problem is, the Internet just makes things so damned easy that reality tends to get a little skewed.

I'm sure we'll get there, though...

Peace, Love & Prosperity...

    I really, really appreciate his authenticity. As said in the other thread, Im really sick of the fake try-hard bull**** that so many try to portray.

    I respect guys like that tenfold in comparison.

    Pretty interesting.

    He's also using pure NLP principles of triggers.

    I agree with Greg 100%,

    Instead of trying to chase the internet pot of gold, people really should stop for a minute and figure out what they are good at and how to monetize it.

    Even if that means working for someone. Having a job isn't all that bad, especially if you're doing something you love.

    "We" get so caught up into 4 Hour Work Weeks and working 1 hour a day mumbo jumbo that we negate what our true strengths are. Mainly because many don't know what their strengths are nor have they taken time out to figure it out.
