The act of misleading someone
The act of mis-leading in the MLM industry, out here on the internet is crazy.
I coined this phrase: The-Get-Rich-Quick-Merry-Go-Round. No one knows this
better than I. And I am going to tell the world about it. I want to be the reason
for some not to go on the ride and hopefully be the reason others jump
off just like I did.
I have been merry-go-rounded by the best of them. I sat at the feet
of two very BIG names out here. Diane Hochman and Joe Schroeder.
At first I participated thinking I was on the right track with the right people
and then I just observed.
They taught me more than they will ever know.
You have to position yourself where the people are!
I’ve looked and found some pretty interesting blogs
and websites talking about the fraud of MLM.
For instance Dean and Laura VanDruff’s blog.
However what struck me is they are off the beaten track.
I thought to myself if you are going to take the time to write this stuff
then why not put it in front of those who NEED to see it?
You guessed it, I’m positioning myself right where you are.
Right where those who NEED to hear the saga of the
get-rich-quick merry-go-round and how you are being used.
All for the love of money.
Below is the kinda of stuff you see day in and day out, month after month
pertaining to your new jersey home based business.
Bank deposits of a gazillion dollars-get rich quick now-
it’s an autopilot get-rich-quick…no work…all software driven
and I’m not sure how long this will be available, go check it now
you’ll be very glad you did..
Great, just what I need! I really don’t have time to work –
I just want to count my money at the end of each month!
The get-rich-quick in motion
The people involved in home based business scams never want to tell the truth,
or else they might not make all that easy money … course with a 99.9% failure rate
even if you sign up 1,000 people in your organization you will be lucky to have 10
remaining after one year … and they will have the same failure rate as you do
(or worse) so if you are honest about it all you know up front your business
will crumble within 12 months (and you’ll have to move onto the next scam).
This is why all the big 8 figure earners are selling programs to teach you how
to get 200+ leads a month. Do you know who else fits this bill? Jonathan Budd.
He too will eventually run out of suckers/people and his numbers will fall off –
no matter how much he hypes the “Unstoppable Entrepreneur”
… you cannot rig the numbers.
And he will be off to another deal of a life time just for you!
Let me paint you a picture…
Example: Mike Dillard,
Wealth Masters, Magnetic Sponsoring, Better Networker, and Elevation Group,
One scam after the other.
I asked Mike Dillard by way of comment on a post he did when launching
the elevation group. I happened to be up late and ran across the site.
I read the hyped up fear he was trying to lay on you in hopes to rake
in a few more bucks, get-richer-still.
I just had to ask if he could tell me how many home based business
financially free, possibly millionaires came out of his Magnetic Sponsoring Course?
After all, that is what is “perceived” to be promised with all your deals.
Do you know that post was down by morning and I found the answer in my inbox.
They can’t say, how could they, and I was a quack for asking.
Okay they didn’t come out and call me a quack, but the tone in the reply was loud and clear!
Delusion vs. Truth
Another thing I came to know after jumping of the get-rich-quick merry-go-round and then
going thru the house of mirrors of the self development bull shit was this.
( And I am HUGH advocate for people getting in touch with themselves and their spirit)
These “gurus” have a corner on this topic and convince you
this is the missing piece to your success puzzle. And guess what?
They are not all wrong, self awareness is crucial to ones success,
but to pay $78 a month on a membership site is crazy. (I used to be crazy) It is not an MLM
but it looks like one, it smells like one, it retains members like one, and it cost
the same as one, and it benefits one person…The owner of the site!
just like every MLM does…It’s a DUCK!
Self development is a free ride folks, you should never pay for that like I did.
It’s on the internet, it’s in your local library, in the comforts of your own home
as you close your eyes and just listen to your inner self.
Trust me, at first you aren’t aware of this being played on you.
Once they figure out you don’t have the making’s of being
like them, you know “slick” then you will not be taught squat.
They know if you are one of them or not,
a fox always smells it’s own hole!
Yet, they will string you along in hopes you string other people along by default.
So when you leave, the people you strung along with you stay right there with them.
Remember the numbers?
Yes, at one time, just like you, I thought I was being groomed for success.
When the truth was I was being groomed to be slick.
After I figured this out, I laid down my weapons, my pride
and walked away. KNOWING you and I can learn to make
an honest dollar out here or on main street, and not at the expense of selling
your soul to the devil/gurus.
Little did anyone know I was taking it all in.
I learned what NOT to do.
I stayed long enough to see the scam thru the trees.
I could have put my tail between my legs, felt sorry
for myself, walked away and said, “oh well, I failed”
“I’m not good enough”, ”
I am a loser” as so many do. What a shame.
OR
“Lessons well learned” .
“Lessons Well Learned”
When we face life’s lesson’s head on, decide instead of burying our heads
in the sand we make a conscience decision to understand/learn why….
there comes responsibility. One does not go thru fire, come out
unscathed and not share the knowledge gained known to help not only
themselves but many others.
It’s not right.
We are one people says my pin I purchased at a Fleetwood Mac concert 20 years ago.
I believed it then and I believe it now. I will ALWAYS believe it!
We ARE one and we better start living our lives as such!

No matter what I am doing, working my day job, caring for
my precious family, or getting a pedicure, this is all I think about.
I am determined to show folks like yourself the truth about having a
legitimate home based business.
I have a passion that runs deep in my soul.
I must STAND UP.
I must SPEAK OUT.
So where do you begin?
First thing to do is start thinking for yourself.
I am not kidding. Take some time out and put your beautiful MIND in
this masterful written book filled with keys that will unlock you.
Rumor has it that while Bill Gates was attending Harvard University,
He discovered and read The Master Key System
It was this book that inspired the future founder of Microsoft
to drop out of the University and pursue his dream of
“a computer on every desktop.”
The reason I share this little tide bit with you is… if a geeky college
student can sit at his classroom desk, not really wanting
to be there and dream of a better tomorrow, then reads possibly
another book in hopes to feed his soul and it changed his thinking….
Well then, why not you?
This is NOT…
read this book and you are destined to make a million dollars
remember there is no GET-RICH-QUICK!
No this about thinking for yourself!
I read the book and it changed my thinking. I read the book almost
everyday. I carry it with me, I read it at traffic lights, waiting in lines,
I read it curled up on my couch with a cup of tea or a glass of wine.
And every time I start back at page one
the book opens up more, I open more!
Peace,
