Become A Millionaire While You Sleep! My Kind Of Work!
In a moment of insanity, when my brain must have escaped for Guadalajara, I replied to an email that asked if I was interested in a home based business opportunity. Since then my mailbox has been stuffed with postcards, brochures and letters inviting me to become rich almost overnight.
Every day, another two or three "offers" hit my mailbox assuring me that with absolutely no money and no effort, I can be certain of making thousands of dollars in my spare time. All this without ever leaving my easy chair or talking to anyone!
In addition to the stacks of mail I'm receiving through the US Postal Service, my email account is inundated with offers that will make me an instant millionaire. I'll only have to buy their programs and I'll be rich! Isn't America a great country?
I'm a student of the "There's no such thing as a free lunch" school of thought, but some of the brochures and letters I've received lately, make joining one of these opportunities quite tempting.
Troubling economic times have made the idea of making extra money more appealing than it did a few years ago. Slick postcards and brochures chronicling someone's rocket ride to wealth, makes joining such a program very tempting. One of the cards I received told of a man who went from being stone broke one day to making $30,000 a weekend within three months. I decided not to send him $125.00 for a start-up kit.
One golden opportunity I received was an 18 page letter about how a gentleman had become a multimillionaire in a very short period of time and now he was going to help me do the same. I wouldn't even to spend long hours working, and there was nothing to sell. This is the kind of job I've needed for years!
I wonder how many millions I would have by now if I had known about this program. The cost of this wonderful opportunity is only $159.95 with a 30 day money back guarantee if I'm not satisfied. I can see where this company wouldn't worry about having to pay refunds; if I've made a million dollars in 30 days, it would be bad form to request a refund.
Some of the headlines I see on these advertisements are: "You Don't Need To Do Any Work!", "No Selling!", "No Phone Calling!", and "We'll Do All The Work For You!" My personal favorite and one that I'm sure is bringing in hundreds of new trainees a day, is my personal favorite, "Earn Millions While You Sleep"!
I have no doubt that there are folks who will make a lot of money at some, if not all, of the programs I receive in the mail. Sadly, that's a very small percentage of the people that join these money making opportunities. Knowing that the old 80/20 rule applies, 80% of the work is done by 20% of the people, I deduce that 80% of that 20% will fall by the wayside. Figure that one out!
This would leave only a small number of people with the determination, persistence and focus it takes to succeed. This is the way it is in any business! These are the ones who will succeed in most of the things they try.
I've received about 50 cards and letters; some big, some small. At least 25 telephone calls from people from various parts of the country wanted me to listen to their home business proposal, with each person saying his was the best. Most of them said the same thing with a little different hook from each one.
If I had been lonely and without a friend in the world, I would have enjoyed the attention I was getting. After a short time though, I began throwing away the mail without opening it and hanging up when someone asked if I was looking for a great business opportunity.
It really comes down to whether I want to spend my fishing lure money on a chancy situation or do I want to simply forget it all and head for the lake. I'll take the lake!
