Entrepreneurs, AKA psychopaths, though not killers as some are. The world people, mainly men, and I’m one of them, created is a mess. We tax and therefore we need to work to pay taxes until we’re all used up and then we die. We make things we don’t need and it adds to our longevity, too bad, now we number over 7 billion and our numbers will grow until we destroy life sustaining elements, like pure water, oceans, lakes, rivers, land, and air. It’s going to get hotter and hotter until we cook. Those, like politicians gathering in Washington DC don’t feel the heat in the summer, they have air conditioning, but it comes from the very source that adds to the toxic load and that, too, will hurry us closer to oblivion. Men are irrational and illogical, they make no sense and women make even less so what’s the future to be: A very short one for this species called homo sapiens. Our health is already tanking, but we fail to see it, pop and pill, drink some booze, smoke a weed, etc., for tomorrow there isn’t any.

Look….Diogenes of Greek Mythology spent his entire life wandering the world with a lit lantern searching for just ONE HONEST MAN. He died he failed.

Get real…the requisite priority for any sales job is willingness to ‘FIB’….I HATE sales….this is why….if Diognenes were still around and we met he would have succeeded…well almost…for I am a FEmale NOT a MAN, but honest to a fault has been major reason I will NEVER ‘make it’ insofar as your definitiion goes.

I think being honest and ethical not only is the right thing, but honestly it saves you a lot of stress in the long run, not only because you don’t have to try to remember the lie, but also because if you treat people right they will remember and when someone is being dishonest about you they will stand up in your honor and support you

you know, most people are only suspicious because they are committing the crime they are accusing others of committing

I am an honest person and I expect others to be honest with me–that isn’t always the case, in fact, I have been burned so many times I know that there are certain things I need to do to protect myself, some may think this is a sign that I am dishonest, but no, it means I have been burned before by someone who was, so this is tricky

I agree–there is nothing old fashioned about telling the truth, in fact, people have lied for centuries and beyond, even back to the time of Adam and Eve, the serpent lied to Eve, probably the very first lie to ever occur, so if you want to talk ‘old fashioned’ lying definitely isn’t new. I prefer the truth. Honestly, a few years ago someone got a stick in their craw (whatever that is) and decided they wanted to make me suffer (I’m not even certain why, I had been nothing but nice and accommodating to her) and called and filed a false police report about me–and they had to act on it, we had to go through a state investigation and nothing warmed my soul more than the people in my life who didn’t even question my innocents and volunteered that if it ever went to trial (it didn’t, luckily they saw through her lies and dropped all charges) they would be the first to testify on my character (and in a good way) nobody even questioned whether I did it or not, they all knew it wasn’t even in the realm of possibilities and I realized right then and there I was living my life in a manner that people knew they could trust me, even in the face of trials, that brought joy to my heart.

I had one person point out that because I was never caught in a lie obviously I was the worst kind of liar–the one that got away with it, they are still actively trying to prove I am a liar almost 3 years later (Just FYI, I have caught her in many lies, and honestly, she seems to be quite an expert at doing it so I guess that is why she has such a hard time believing that I don’t lie). She tries to throw doubt, she tries to twist my words, she makes fake claims and yet, my honestly almost always shines through–funny how that works right

Look….when 95% of the emails i get from those attempting to sell me something turn out of be lies or like someone recently said FREE 180 page book on 108 ways to …. and ALL they wanted was for me to send them $10.99 for POSTAGE to SHIP this book to me here in Germany. Well, first off, WHY NOT just send me an EBOOK version, this was THE latest scam they really turned me off, first that i am no fool and everyone has ebook versions or can create them and cost them nothing, second, if this is how they do business via snail mail also i did not wish to do business with them. I am sorry, but the reason people, probably me included, trashed you, was due to what i just said. I do not know you, i have been watching your vids for long time and STILL HOW am i to know you are for real. These days it is all about making TONS of money and you do the same thing with your mindset, and my late husband who was a gifted psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who was NOT like any other in this world, very liberal laid back and practically NOTHING could trip him up EXCEPT psychopaths, he confessed as good as he was at sizing up anyone, he could be tricked EVERY TIME by a good psychopath. I know this, so many online, whether you are or not …beats me for like my late husband far superior to me, i am no match for a clever psychopath no matter how strong my intuition is which is off the charts HIGH…i am fooled all the time. OR i WAS so now i do not purchase anything from anyone…and as you said yourself you SAVE all your really cool ideas with only a rare few…of course you do…for WHY would you GIVE away the farm and your business by giving away those secret nuggets to success to everyone? This is only logical. I have been purchasing a few kindle ebooks off Amazon for from free to up to $9.99 with hundreds of five star reviews…HOW TO MAKE IT BIG IN BUSINESS….not get rich quick stuff…but STILL WHY would any master guru give to EVERYONE for .99 cents their most secrets ways of making it big time. They will NOT…for this you PAY and you PAY a lot ..to YOU to anyone who is terrific at such things….THIS is WHY people dont believe you and this is why they will never believe anyone…well they will…but most of the time they will get burned from .99 cents to $129.USD plus doesnt matter if people are on some email list of a million people no way are they going to get what they really NEED….the best one can hope for is a few links to places they were unaware existed…or stuff they already had figured out long ago for themselves that do NOT work but should. IF i had the money to HIRE YOU I would for i know you would give me those diamonds that would help me otherwise i listen to you like right now when i am bored and nothing better to do. Sorry i believe in honesty too, i do not expect your videos will help me help myself make it for generally everything you talk about i have tried and doesnt work or i disagree like with those pop ups which i abhor and will NEVER use and once again you look real HOT in your before in the AFTER you look very much ‘cookie cutter’ dull. Sorry but please go back to that fresh, crisp way you appealed a helluva lot more to creative people than the AFTER where you look like some guy who works as a telemarker or at best a bank teller.

Interesting! Yeah, it’s sad that too many folks nowadays don’t know fact from fiction. Lying has become so commonplace that has become almost–I say almost–the accepted norm. It drives me nuts, really it does!

Good topic Derek.

Forgive me, but although I didn’t send you any emails, I did have a thought in my head about it being a strategy to get people to take another look at it. As long as we are being honest:)

It didn’t change how I feel about your blog, however. I am glad to now know that was not the case, but I am used to being constantly sold to, I learned to ignore it.

Since you/your site are all about the thought processes behind things we do, I’d be curious to know how long those in the 5% group were on your list. If they were really new, and they’d had bad experiences before (which you have no way to know about) I can see how they might react the way they did.

If they’ve been around a while though, they’d have to really not be paying much attention to see that the situation fell under the “stuff happens” category for you.

I totally agree. There are people out there in internet marketing land taking advantage all day every day, have been for years. I’ve fallen for at least 2 of them. And it’s sad and totally unnecessary.

Good for you for doing business the right way.

This is precisely why I feel that a modern sales career is now a noble profession.

The sales-force no longer can be the sole “owner” of knowledge. The sales-force must now be a “curator” of it.
