One other little secret to success is to surround yourself with people smarter, more experienced, and skilled than you are in many areas. Henry ford actually had no idea how to build a better engine, but he knew how to hire people who did, and they broke the 4 cylinder barrior and many others... Good 'ol henry was successful at networking people with experience and expertise- in my business I call this outsourcing talent :) -J Elbert, I read Chris’s rant too and it was great, and just think, these two great minds are working together one a bunch of projects (well they were in the past), it’s no wonder the profit loophole, and other things they’ve created have been so successful.

I find it ironic that the same people who can't put in the work and time to gain the powerful experience and insight necessary (even if you have all the right information you need time to build the insight within yourself and yes change your entire way of thinking) are the same people who when/if they win the lottery, regardless of how much will lose all the money in a years time. I saw a guy who blew 300 million dollars in a year and was DEEP in debt as he developed a spending habit. My point is that mindset is the key to success. Mindset is not just learning the path, it's walking it, and the path starts out as these scary stepping stones that eventually become as intuitive to you as breathing. One problem with following other peoples courses is that their course is built on THEIR success, it works BASED on their experiences, because they've gone through the path full circle and when something goes wrong they can fall back on experience. This is not to say you can't take someone elses course and make it work but the cold hard reality is that you have to put in the time to fail your way to success. Failure is just another way of saying success in work clothes, it's also the stimulus that generates awareness of what doesn't work, and stimulates you to develop very personal solutions that counter it. Your never out of the ball park, even as an expert, because although you do learn and develop unlimited 'fall backs' or redirects for all potential 'surprises' they will continue to come, you've simply learned how to harmonize with them, how to counter them, how to become superman/woman in your craft. Experience builds tollerance, and although many people wish it were different, the reality is there is no other way to build this tollerance than to experience things, to fail, to grow from it. The only thing that differentiates say Dave from myself is that his experience and exposure to the market are about 20 years ahead of mine. He has created so many if/then protective barriers from experience, that he can surpass things I still have no idea about. I will say this about his course, it seems to have a built in awareness that gives you a peak into a future you can realize, but what you really start to see as you progress through the course is that every time you master one site, and you read the material again, you start to see things between the lines that ONLY experience and awareness through that experience will give you insight to see. This is true of any real course (not the smoke blower marketers courses that often leave out a vital piece of the puzzle). They say you should read every good book three times in your life, once in your youth, once in your middle age, and once in your old age, as you will find that this book, this static set of information/instructions will drastically be a different animal as you grow wiser and experienced. The severe flaw in the GRQ (get rich quick) concept is that it's hollowed out without successes main ingredients- experience, repetition, and failure. Have you ever noticed how failure doesn't ever figure into a get rich quick plan? They never even mention it, as if it were the plague. That's like saying you can have financial security without money- phooey! Great "rant" Dave, i didn't see it as rant really but great insight into the reality of IMing... -J You said it Dave, the get rich quick mentality is a fast food nation mentality that doesn’t work.

Believe me. For most people earning $500 in a month in what could be considered extra income is in fact, life changing money." You're one of the few IMs that have the guts to say this. People that are committed to making a living online will realize the great truth in this. People interested in getting rich quick without ever lifting a finger won't even finish readnig that sentence. “My goal is to teach people how to make $500 not $50,000 in a month. Believe me.

I have over 50 Wordpress blogs and I would like to auction them off and get some seed capital so I can implement the Profit Loophole but as you say the Wordpress blogs are hard to sell because they are connect to a MySQL db, so is there a way to auction those WP blogs off?

Surely many of them will never wake up (even when loosing their jobs, homes, relationships etc.) but a selected few will and these people will be heading for a totally different future. As one of my favorite quotes goes: "For things to change, YOU have to change" Most people will hope, pray, wish, request.... but never change who they are and what they do and therefore they will get the results that they have always gotten.

I would say Chris also posted a similar rant aswell. His was mainly about a person that emailed him several months ago that spent over $60,000 on courses, ebooks, seminars, etc. http://www.thelazymarketer.com/blog/2009/04/14/rant-a-simple-formula-for-nearly-instant-results-that-doesnt-cost-60000/ I think it would fit well with your rant. :) Hey Dave,

Thanks again. I will attest to the validity of everything here. I barely knew how to cut and paste text a year ago. I am slated to be at full-time income within a year. The turning point? When I finally stopped chasing the next new 'program'. Thanks again Dave, Shawn If you need to put a number on emails you have answered for me over the past year, it has to be over 100. Thanks again.
