There are a couple options you have to train yourself to not fall for scams.

Option 1

This works best with a Galvultrone cattle prod, but if one is not ready available, feel free to use a simple rubber band.

Take the said rubber band and place it near your top knuckle between your thumb and index finger making what might appear as a triangle. place your finger and thumb on your upper thigh. Now reach down with caution, (at this junction it’s all too easy to get over confident), past the top part of the rubber band and instead, go for the bottom part of the rubber band that is currently lightly touching your leg. With two fingers of the hand not holding the rubber band, draw that bottom strand back past the top strand of the rubber band.

Now read through 25 business opportunity schemes and every time those ads make huge promises of instant wealth and you want to hit the join now button, pop your leg with the rubber band. In this way you’ll train yourself to avoid all the scams waiting for you.

Option 2

You could simple tell yourself if it sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true. Perhaps this is the best option, please put away your rubber band and, or your Galvultrone cattle prodder.

Who’s with me?

Does sometimes your Naïve nature overcome your good sense? If you called it greed you wouldn’t be altogether wrong. We all want money the quicker the better. Hey I said we are talking truth here.

I don’t think I’m the only one tired of all the false promises of all these people telling you that you can make $20K before lunch and it’s free. Making money online is easy, and all you have to do is follow a few simple steps to become a multi-millionaire?

You aren’t dumb, but sometimes that bait looks so good and you’re so hungry that you just choose to not see the hook that juicy night crawler can’t quite cover up.

If you’re like me you’ve tried many of these “opportunities” for yourself and they didn’t work, not never ever.

Truth # 1: if it sounds too good to be true, it is. Say it with me this time. “If it sounds too good to be true, it is, not just sometimes, always. There are no exceptions.”

The truth will set you free

Once you’ve come to accept this absolute truth, anyone who starts by flashing paychecks and testimonials and all the normal gimmickry will immediately loses credibility with you.

I’m not even saying that some of these might not be real opportunities. I’m just saying there not giving you the real story.

Here’s 3 questions every online opportunity should start with.

• What’s the downside of building an online business?
• How much time and money does it take?
• What will I have to do to realistically be successful.

I understand the ad wouldn’t be quite as tempting if it read.

Business opportunity, work your ass off, making literally next to nothing for months if not years all while working a day job to pay your bills. Free to Join…. Where do I sign up? You could add in for those who don’t give up and are patient, you can realistically make a good living, possibly even a six figure living, but it won’t be tomorrow before lunch.

Truth # 2: It takes time to build

I make 6k a day, be like me

So this big wave of everyone thinking everyone else is making real money, real fast is an unhealthy belief to ride. If others are making money, it’s only because they have put their time in or they spent a lot of money to set the whole thing up in the first place.

So let’s stop talking like we have already made so much money we use twenties as toilet paper. The truth is depending on where you are on your journey a paperboy might be tripling your current income from your new online business and that is all right, it perfectly acceptable because you are building something that will grow with your effort.

Truth # 3: Don’t fake it til you make it. Embrace the struggle and own it. It is the price you’re paying for success.

Competition Good

It was King Solomon that said there is nothing new under the sun. so anyone that tells you they have a brand new, never seen before, once in a life time, awe inspiring, revolutionary new Idea, run away don’t walk.

Instead find a business opportunity where there is lots of competition and work harder than everybody else and you’ll be on to something. Don’t try to invent new wheels use what is already there for you. If people are making money, and there wouldn’t be competition if they weren’t, then you can too. Look there is always a chance that there could be a bright shiny new business, but its 99.999999999% chance that it’s a waste of time.

Truth # 4: Don’t avoid competition look for it and then kick its booty.

Free, free, free

Step right up ladies and gentlemen see the free traffic, yes you won’t find free traffic like this anywhere else, don’t push there’s plenty of traffic for all. Yup just what I thought it’s a fairly tail. The bearded lady is a doughy guy with a glandular condition, oh well.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch or traffic, W. C. Fields. (I added the traffic part.)

We pay for traffic even if the currency is time. The truth is if you’re in a hurry for your success you’ll need to invest some money at this point, and God help us then. I thought everything was supposed to be free…

You can’t make an omelet without breaking some eggs and you can’t have a legitimate business that you don’t make any king of financial investment in. These cost can how ever be low and manageable until there not.

This is not a free world maybe we should stop insulting everyone’s intelligence and stop trying to sell free.

Truth # 5: Free is free it’s not a hook to real suckers in. Let’s just not over use it please.

I see phony people

You don’t have to have a sixth sense to recognize some of the stuff people are shoveling online and while people might impulse start your program, as soon as they realize there’s no pony in all that horse manure they are going to be gone quicker than a toot in the wind.

So let’s be real and honest with them and let them know what to expect. Let’s give people real content not just glorified sales pitches. Sure in the short term it might hurt us, but in the long run having the right referrals can truly bring success.

There are about 1% of people out there, becoming super rich on the internet, but they aren’t doing it for free and there not going into it with the idea it’s all going to magically happen for them. They are well financed and experienced and no you can’t make what they make before lunch.

Truth # 6: A hard truth is better than an easy lie.

I still have a dream

There are people at the end of the year making six figures. I know several that have, but it’s not free and it’s not east and they would tell you that’s just fine. It was well worth the struggle.

They don’t have to commute to work every day. They don’t have to deal with a boss telling them when to breathe. They don’t have to miss their kid’s ballgames or recitals.

And although the entrepreneurial life does come with its own set of challenges. Most people who have taken the time and put in the work to succeed are more than happy with the trade-offs.

More truth probably 90% or more of the people who try building an online business never even make a single dollar. Not because it’s a scam, not because it’s impossible, not because they’re incapable … but because they weren’t given all the information they needed to make an informed decision, plain and simple. They were given pie in the sky promises and unrealistic expectations. They have been lied to and it has chipped away at their dreams if not destroyed them.

It's a puzzle really

The truth is, building an online business is like putting a jigsaw puzzle together. Unless you can see the whole finished picture, you’ll end up fumbling around for years trying to figure out how all the pieces fit together.

So here’s what I can promise

If you join with me on this online adventure, please know that it will take time and maybe even a little money, but with that you can reach your goals. You can thumb your nose to the boss and be there more for your family, if that sound like something you can do then click her, it’s free to join. (couldn't help myself)
