Newbie Tip :: IF You See This In An Email RUN THE OTHER WAY

2 replies
I just got an email from a self titled "guru". It annoyed me so I thought I'd post 2 parts of it that if you see as a newbie, you need to understand it's complete and total b.s.

$800,000 their very first year with ZERO ... experience!
about 4 hours a week building a lifestyle business
This DOES NOT happen.

I repeat:

This DOES NOT happen.

Now let me clarify, you can make $800,000 in a year. That is possible, but you will work at minimum 60 hours per week to get there. (That's 5 12 hour days taking weekends off). You will never do this starting with zero experience though.

You will NEVER work 4 hours a week and "lifestyle business" does not exist. (let alone trying to decipher what that even means). The person who sent this email sends ones like this all the time promoting whatever latest shiny object they're trying to push on gullible people who eat up those emotional triggers like a fat guy loves ice cream covered in fudge.

I also contest that the 4 hour work week is a complete farce. The writer did his research before writing it and found that people wanted a couple things:

1.) To work as little as possible.
2.) To have others working for them making them money.
3.) To live the dream life of not having to work while still making mega bucks.

Even I fell for that one though. I bought the stupid book and wish I hadn't. It puts you in the wrong mindset and seriously negatively affected my business for about 3 months until I snapped out of it and came back to reality.

Don't believe the hype, don't buy garbage that promotes the hype and understand that to succeed you simply must put in the effort. Nothing in life is free. The only way to live a "4 hour work week" or "lifestyle business" is to win the lottery or have some rich relatives dump a couple million into your bank account.

Sorry for the rant, but I'm tired of fighting against these jerks who keep giving everyone the completely wrong mindset. I guess they want you to fail though so you'll buy their next shiny object 5 months down the road.

    Yeah, I totally understand how you feel.

    When I discovered that IM is just like any other activity (only hard work and persistence are going to make you successful) I just unsubscribe from 20-30 different email lists I was part from.

    You can only find a handful of honest people who really care about your success these days.

    I read the four hour work week, and I don't think it's a farce, but he was selling something very different than information.

    I also put my business (niche website) virtually on hold for about 5 years after I had my first baby, and it continued to make me a full time income that entire time.

    However, I agree with you that someone claiming most people can make $800,000 in a year with no experience is full of you know what.
