Greed is the intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, food, sex or attention. Greed starts from a basic fear of life. Fear comes from the fundamental sense of deprivation which is a need for something that is lacking.

When that feeling of lack becomes strong, that person will be fixated on looking for that one thing that they need that will eliminate that feeling of not having enough. Once that person is able to acquire that one thing his/her life’s mission will be to acquire as much of it as possible.

    it is easy.. there are millions of poor people who only have the skills to make 5 dollars and hours .. do not want to do anything to develop new skills and be more valuable .. so the want the government to make employers pay them 10 13 or 15 dollars an hour ..

    how to spot a greedy person..they say things like there is no i in team ..which is correct because there is an m and an e for me ....people who overvalue team work.. can tend to get others to do most of the work ..

    understand everyone is greedy ..if you want more.. it greed .. if you want more and provide more valuee it is good .. if you want more but you buy a 60 year old drug paten and raise the price 6000 percent.. that is bad greed ..

    if you stay at a freind house and eat half his food .. thats greed ..

    I particularly like the 3 steps to get rid of them.

    People who are greedy are rather easy to spot unless they're brilliant marketers. So we have to be careful! This is where mentors can come in...

    When i first started online I had no idea what i was doing & fell for alot of dum shite.

    And even after 10yrs online & 12 months very intensely in i.m. I still almost made a mistake a month ago!

    My mentor shared with me the gent i was about to do business with was more of a crook then a businessman & to be careful.

    I didn't work with him. If you have any questions or anyone here does about different onlien marketers or businesses ask away! i'd be very happy to help

    This is a huge factor! When you're first having conversations with someone, if all they ever talk to you about is themselves that is a big warning sign.

    Eg.
    You start a conversation, speaking about how you're going to visit a doctor, yet all they can recall or talk about is the last time they were sick.

    Obviously there are exceptions, but this is a warning sign of selfishness and perhaps even a lack of empathy or perhaps even the ability to be able to relate to others.

    Greedy people only think of themselves and don't care whom they hurt. Do they demand or take things at someone else's expense? Do they evade their responsibilities even if it adds cost to others? Greedy people want something for nothing, hence they will brag about how they cheated/gamed 'the system'. They talk about ways to get easy money by fooling others, or how to do things that are technically legal but unethical.
