I: Missing Expectations
“I’ve been here a week and I still don’t have my yacht.”
There are so many get-rich-quick schemes on the Internet that on first exposure to Internet Marketing some think that is exactly what is going to happen. We get the idea that things are going to happen overnight.
“Didn’t that guru say he made $45,666,89 in only 32 hours?”
Well, maybe he did but he was presenting a new offer from one of his fellow gurus to his humongous mailing list that took him several years to accrue. Maybe he is telling you a big fib. In fact he may have written or borrowed the testimonials on his site. My be the people he talks about on his site are not real.
The stories are never real. “I was dying in the desert and this old hermit gave me a drink of Muscatel and told me the secret of never-ending-wealth which you can get for just $289.99 if you order right now.”
But the members of the list love the guy and believe every line of B.S. he gives them. It took him a long time to get that reputation. He is their expert. And he did not use his proprietary “secret method” to do it.
All this, of course, means that our expectations don't match realities. Something has to happen before we have that three-hour work-week and a million dollar beach house in Malibu.
