Matthew 7-15: Beware of False Prophets
Hi Guys, I've never been much of an outright Christian. Been to plenty of churches and I would never call myself an Atheist but it's just not really my thing. However, despite this as a philosophical person I have great respect for the bible and its teachings.
Anybody that knows right from wrong would mostly agree with me that some of the bible stories are important life lessons. For sure it is not totally perfect but some of it at least is pure gold if you can decipher it in the right way.
Which actually, brings me to this topic for today's post. BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS

Romans 16:18 - For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Now, I know this might sound like I am preaching but for anyone reading this I really want to convey this. As you look to build your online business do not let people sway you away from what you are doing without logical thinking.
There was a man I was chatting to on Facebook earlier and actually, I don't doubt that he was a professional. I don't even doubt that he could have probably helped me in some capacity but here is the thing. Without even knowing about the foundations I've built he was telling me I had no future with what I'm doing - he wanted me to drop everything to come and join him instead.
He made some good points actually; Build your brand and authority before anything else was one of the main things he said but I could tell after a while that he wasn't as genuine as he came across. When he said I was doing everything wrong I knew he was trying to plant a seed of doubt so...
Don't fall for this crap people -

So if any false prophet comes along trying to offer you something else better do not think this is always the answer. It could very well be that they'll come along get you to pay for some expensive course and then leave you lost in the woods when they have got what they want from you. This may not always be the case (I know) but do not let these shiny objects and false promises fool you. Follow your WA training, keep creating new content. Keep training and don't give up on yourself and what you are doing.
The chances are the very things you are promised by these fake gurus and prophets you can get without them. In fact maybe one day it may be them asking you for advice instead. You never know.
Just don't let people fill your head with doubts, believe in yourself, and work towards whatever it is that you've already started doing. Anything done the right way can be successful
Best regards;

After getting burned many times over and wasted tens of thousands of dollars, I learned to be more cautious friend. When people like those try to tell you a story just to lure you into buying expensive products or info, I'd take off running.
If it looks interesting, I'd look it up and see the reviews, then make a good decision on it. I also figured out to get or try stuffs for free from other sources, than just buying from the seller. It's amazing to know that you can get the same product for free or cheaper than when it was first offer to you. You just have to take the time to search for it and make the right decision afterwards. This goes for anything that is being offered to me.
Thanks for sharing this. All the best!
Great post, Alex! I think one of the most important things to keep in mind is to 'believe in yourself'.
Have an awesome day! :)
