Every. Single. Day....
...someone comes to me here within chat or asks me privately, “Hey Kyle, what do you think of this product?”
My answer is alway the same. “I don’t know?”
Because I don’t know. The thing I do know is that everything you need to succeed online is here within the Wealthy Affiliate community. The tools, the support, the training, the networking.
Sure, there might be some OK programs out there, but the more you continue to “seek” that shiny object, the more and more you are acting like a fish...and in many cases, a dumb fish.
Let me get to that though (by no means am I calling you dumb).
There are two types of businesses in this world.

There are those that are successful and those that fail. YOU are a business, lets remember this...I am not referring to some corporate entity. You are an entrepreneur and you want success...therefore you are a business.
In respect to my fish analogy, there are lots of fish out there in the water competing for food. The same way that there are a lot of people online looking to earn money.
BUT, many fish swim around looking for shiny things to pop-up.
When it does, they bite and often times they get caught by a scam, “fake bait” which only ends up leading to their demise.
The exact same thing is happening online. People (fish) are searching for food (money) and they will go towards any shiny object, rather than figuring out how to properly seek out their own food.
These people get taken complete advantage of unfortunately and buy into every shiny thing that is put in front of them. These are typically scams and these shiny objects lead them to getting caught before they ever have a chance to become a big fish.
The big fish play it cool, take their time, and end up getting as much food as they want!
And often times decide to just eat the small fish...because they can. They are the big fish!
I want you to make a decision today. Do you want to be a big fish or a small fish?
If you come to me asking me about something shiny, I am going to send you to this post. Everything you need to become a big, powerful fish that doesn’t need to seek out the shiny lures that are set out each and every day, here within the community.
If you get eaten going forward, it is not my fault. You have been warned!
