Amazing How Predictable People Are...

OFF TOPIC

First off, i have nothing against people sharing genuine "success stories" , although admittedly i'm always a tad sceptical and hinted as much in a recent success story thread...

Thing is, people being as predictable as they are, once one of these threads gain traction with people clamoring to heap praise and adoration on the OP it emboldens the scallywags to surface with their own made-up BS...

Case in point, thread that was started just minutes ago was deleted by an eagle eyed Mod... I say eagle-eyed but actually quite obvious to spot if you aren't counted among the gullible masses...

A convincing rags to riches story that ended off with...

Today, as of January of 2016, I have several six-figure income

launching a web hosting company.

Name Removed! Can You Mentor Me?

I sure can. See the link in my signature that is referencing
the "verifiable success stories."

Do you have free resources?

Absolutely, MANY! See: Link Removed to discover them.

And of course various Sig Links related to the Thread topic.....

Good yardstick, if people are hugely successful at making money online, why are they even bothering to mentor others? The on the beach or in the coffee bar lifestyle, working a few hours a day on the laptop doing a little maintenance on their largely automated income streams is surely all they should be doing, adding a few more perhaps.

So, spending time mentoring people is just working more, unless they are employing a team to do it for them. Are these people workaholics or just plain greedy, or is the only money they are making running mentoring programs?

Look at our dear friend, Claudette. Do you honestly think the Vacuum Cleaner King of Wooster really is in dire need of money to do those Small Business trade shows and Mentoring of Vacuum Cleaner Owner/Operators . No , he does it for the love of helping people and his passion and love for the vacuum cleaner

I believe you, but you can't compare the average WF member to the "rich cats" you personally know...

It's just too easy to fudge the truth online...And believe me, we would probably be shocked at how many people do it if the truth ever came out...

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

I write books because I want to share what I know. I give seminars because they pay really well, and I enjoy doing them.

I know several coaches and gurus. Growing a following, that buys your coaching services is perhaps the most rewarding way to make a living. Teaching what you know, teaching what you are passionate about, and making a great living while doing so...is about as good as it gets.

On the other hand, I don't think these are the people this thread is about.

There is weird stuff crackin' off upstairs, for sure.

Gotta venture up there in search of miracles once in a while, but downstairs is where we play with ourselves if we wanna chill out an' come on undoobious, I guess.

Blitz out on the Underworld with heart, an' heaven gonna quoit you its surfeit of pre-reserved haloes.

It's hard enough to be extremely successful at any one venture. When I see blowhards putting up a laundry list of all the diverse areas they are crushing it in, I know immediately that they are simply casting a wider net to catch more fish with varied interests.

Who believes this crap?

But unfortunately from what l have seen, he offers good advise for individuals who already have a decent sized list, but little if you don't!

Maybe a mentor can shortcut your way to wealth, but from what l have seen it is a case of "l am not Toni Skark, (Iron man) so l can't do this" sort of deal.

Or they have the magic wand, and they are trying to pass it on to you. Sometimes it might work, but most of the time, l would think that hard work, and persistence would be better?

I've chatted with a few folks over the past few years from this forum and I have no doubts they're banking. What's funny is none of these folks I've chatted with are in the IM niche.

The IM niche itself is bloated with junk. I pity any poor sap that walks into that mess looking to make money online.

There is a Nuclear bomb on the outskirts of Wooster, buried under the "Git, Yea, Hot Chilly's, Heres" sign.

So l can take one out, and maybe both, l only need to type in 666 and press the integer button on my Calculator and no more vacumn cleaners!
