Walk into that place and I bet no one has any clue about stea.lth or the banhammers that happen on a daily basis. You can bet your a$$ that course won't tell anyone you can be banned at any time for almost any reason and lose your entire business.
Also, the high price legitimizes these programs for ignorant people. It's similar to po.nzi schemes you see all the time. I've talked to people who were willing to take loans out just to go to some of these seminars until I talked them out of it.
The marketing and psychological manipulation involved in these programs is impressive. The people running it are by no means idiots. It's just sad that they use their skills to totally manipulate the sh*t out of those who are desperately looking to change their lives for the better.
Year after year, I've had friends or met people who get sucked into all kinds of schemes and thankfully I have talked most of them out of it. For those who still went through with them, they completely regretted it and eventually gave up on the programs once they saw it was all just a waste of time and impossible to make money, especially quickly.

Also yes so true I don't think he feels comfortable with me teaching him. Especially since in this case he has always been the straight A student and I barely passed high school :clap: | This will happen every day of your life until you are a millionaire or incredibly successful. Then, when that day comes, they will all come begging for your help. This is just typical of people who are not creative or able think outside of the box. People who think life is all about going to school, getting a 9-5 and then having a family and that's all they have ever aspired to have.
Just focus on yourself. Play it cool and don't be offended. You tried and that's all that matters. Some people just need to fail, even if it's significant like $3,500. He'll learn and then take you seriously the next time he needs help.
Much of my family and friends are conservative and frugal and only believe in old school back-breaking hardwork so I know how sh*tty it feels when people think you are stupid and couldn't possibly be successful on your own. |
