Thanks! I always end up back at the same root question: Why run whatever you're into on a basis of lies and deception when you could just as easily run something honestly and with integrity?
And that's how I ended up with the "meat" of this little rant... the answer being "because none of this stuff would ever be CREATED if it were based on honesty-- as nobody would WANT it, in it's true light."
Ha! This is so true. I laugh because my boyfriend and I discuss this whenever we watch shark tank (which is more often than I care to admit). It's maddening though....the junk that comes out and makes millionaires of snakes. 99% of Internet Marketing products - god, a friend of mine fell for some scheme recently - MOBE - and since I've dabbled in internet/affiliate marketing on and off over the years I know the red flags -
Well our friendship ended because she took my warnings as personal insults. She assured me they sold 'high end' affiliate products only - I just didn't want to see her lose money she couldn't afford to...
anyway - point of my tangent is I AGREE WITH YOU lol. But lies and BS seem to be more lucrative than truth and honesty :-/
Upvoted and followed, I have often felt like Cassandra -- knowing the future, but unable to get people to believe what I see.
Good luck with that bun in the oven! We're working on our own, wish us luck! :)
Yay! Congrats - that itsy bitsy little bun burns a lot of energy phew lol. Yup....people believe what they want to believe despite all evidence - or even fine print - to the contrary.
Yeah I definitely agree. Those who are able to sell something using lies -- well, they've proven that they can lie, and nefarious agencies then start the hiring process. Would that we could bring those nefarious agencies to justice; alas, better to avoid lies and liars as much as possible, because evil will always exist in this world. When it gets too close, do something about it. Otherwise, it's somewhat tempting fate. Not to put too fine a point on it, those nefarious agencies will continue to spring up, so, knowing them and avoiding them is probably the prudent course of action.
Striking them in their heart is the best course of action. Difficult, though, for those with families...
