The importance of having a clean conscience and being able to sleep at night....
Hi
With all of the hysteria going on my judgement was tempararily clouded and I was almost tempted to take the risk.
However, not being very knowledgeable about these types of programs I decided to ask a well known and trusted friend his opinion.
It was good honest advice and basically said that some people really will make a killing from this as is usually the case from these types of programs. However the vast majority are going to be left very bitter and disappointed.
His closing words of advice were these:
My advice... while it's harder, stay to the tried and true to make your "fortune"... it's safer in the long run and you won't leave people hurt, mad and disillusioned because you turned them toward this "opportunity"...
Wise words.
Even though there is a chance that I might make some money from this program I would rather have a clean conscience and be able to sleep at night.
Well known and respected marketers have a duty to act responsibly and not abuse their priviledged status by pushing programs like this.
They know that many people will jump on the band wagon because they are generally respected.
I think that many people will eventualy realise that their trust has been misplaced and well and truly abused.
A few veterans may recall a program called MyListmaker which provoked similar hysteria.
I am ashamed to say that I was persuaded to join this program and promoted it heavily to my mailing lists.
I got hauled over the coals for it and learnt a valuable lesson.
Many moons ago, when I worked for an insurance company...a career rife with people who will steal the shirt off your back and who would sell their own grandmother..., I was taken under the wings of a respected gentleman who had the rare quality of valuing honesty.
He told me that the best way to gauge how I conducted my business was to imagine how I would in a few years time if I bumped into any of my clients.
Would I be sheepish and embarrassed or would I be able to hold my head up high, knowing that I had looked after their interests and given them the best advice that I could offer.
It is something that I still live by.
I wonder how many people who promote this program will be able to do the same thing.
Best wishes
