When you chase influence, popularity, and success, you are likely to fail.
Those selling it know this is true.
They will tell you to keep going, join the secret inner circles, and that you are just not working hard enough.
That’s a warning.
It’s how real estate scams, terrible products, and bad services get sold at scale. We’ve always had these people. If you are still unsure, get real with yourself. Consider watching movies about boiler rooms and American hustles.
Everybody has a period in business when these people show up on your screen.
Typically, this is when you are in transition, at a low point, and most likely to purchase.
They organize their strategies to find you so they succeed.
Your wound is not their opportunity
The gaping wound in the neck is your wound. It’s not their opportunity.
Feel the pain of not knowing your own purpose, vision, or pathway. If you must go down this road, take all the free stuff.
Nobody needs to pay today.
For those who want to be in the inner-sanctum rooms, you are paying for their networks. Consider that they work together to get you to the table. Taking your money is the goal. Then, for those who succeed, you get money as well.
That’s how it works. It’s as American as anything.
This crowd cares about their passive income, their success, and being on top of the hierarchy. When you look deep at the stories, that becomes obvious.
They follow the same formula.
The story formulas are the biggest giveaway. It’s a way to avoid sharing experience or telling the real truth.
Some of this crowd knows this. Some don’t. And you will be attacked by them and their followers when you speak your truth.
That’s what I mean by friction.
Stand in the fire of that judgment. Then your people can truly find you.
My ancestors earned their money.
They lived Napoleon Hill.
Perhaps they crossed paths.
