What do you think about these 4 Laws?

by Greg Jacobs
9 replies
I have been contemplating these for laws to govern IM actions and would like some Warrior feedback

LAW #1: My Methods are not illegal.
Meaning that by following these methods I will not break any laws

LAW #2: My Methods do not harm anyone
nor infringe on any persons personal freedoms or wealth

LAW #3: My Methods Make me as much money as possible
within a short a period as possible

LAW #4: Taking into account he 3 RULES Above (legal, no harm, wealth)- EVERYTHING ELSE Goes.
I got a family to feed.


Please comment.

    I would state them in the positive. For example: "My methods are entirely legal and ethical."... "My methods solve problems and fill needs."

    When you state it in the negative, it sounds apologetic. Positive, it sounds more like an affirmation.

    But I'd take an entirely different approach. Here's my marketing philosophy:

    It all starts with the prospect: who he is; what he wants; his desires, hopes and dreams; what his problems are; what resonates with him, etc.

    Then, it is about who YOU are as a PERSON: your level of Integrity, Empathy, and Authenticity.

    Then, AS a person of Integrity, Empathy, & Authenticity, it is about how you can solve the prospect's problem or fulfill his needs and desires.

    It is never about what you "sell". I call this "The Pattern."

    Consider this...

    Two thousand years ago, humanity was in desperate need of a spiritual awakening. But salvation had to come from the right person--not just anyone selling "awakening".

    It had to come from a Christ. Which means even Jesus himself could not save mankind until he proved himself as the Christ.

    Without becoming the Christ, Jesus would have been just another insurgent among countless thousands to hang on a cross. But the Great Master proved by his words and actions that he had a level of Integrity, Empathy, and Authenticity greater than anyone else in history.

    "He was without sin," as the temptation in the desert vividly illustrates.

    And because of that--because of who he IS--he has become an inspiration and the source of spiritual awakening for billions.

    That is the model for success in marketing.

    BE-DO-HAVE.

      This is interesting. So by this, we could rewrite the 4 laws to say something like

      LAW #1: My Methods are legal and just

      LAW #2: My Methods only bring people wealth and happiness

      LAW #3: My Methods Make me as much money as possible

      LAW #4:Taking into the account the 3 Laws above, I will do everything within my power to succeed


      as for the rest of your post. Is Christ the salesman or the product?

      or Is the Salesman the Product?

        MUCH Better! Doesn't it "feel" better saying it?

        As for the analogy... Christ is the salesperson. Awakening is the "product".

        The "salesperson" must BE before he is able to DO (sell the product)... and therefore HAVE.

        Jesus BECAME... He DID... Now he HAS a billion followers and all the glory and adoration with it.

          All the Laws mentioned state that you are strictly a man of principals. You know the values of humanity. You know better how to respect the others' rights. You want to stay away from harming others. Yet make enought and swift for your self...

          I like the tone.

          We can translate this into the IM field that unless you have achieved something yourself, then you should not be selling it.

          for example, if one has not actually "found success" off a system, then they would have no business selling such a system.


          meaning that the wise man would only buy products from those that have become wealthy by using those products - (not become wealthy by selling them)

    But, are your methods actually legal, or are you just trying to convince yourself?

      These are Laws I am developing for general understanding, not relating specifically to me or another, but as a general dictate or guildline for whoever would wish to follow

      Meaning that some people chose to self-govern their actions, rather than be pushed back and forth by the wind. To act at their own judge and jury.

      Meaning that in order to self-govern actions, one needs a concrete set of black and white laws in order to follow so that the mind may have a reference point between what is "right" and what is "wrong"

      In this case we are using the basis of common legality to set a definition that those that follow these Laws will be able to have as a point of reference when confronted with a decision on whether to take action or to withdraw.

      I hope that explains it clearly enough
