The 800-pound gorilla -- aka The connection we're not making...

Thanks Gordon -- Yes, the right mindset can be part of the answer.

Part of that 'correct' mindset must be the ability to immediately DECIDE/DETERMINE whether an 'opportunity' is from Low-Level Land, or the REAL WORLD "big-time."

Part of that element is the ability to immediately give any Low-Level Land opportunities the DISrespect it deserves.

So, here's the new acronym I came up with...

O-F-D-S

Which stands for "Oh 'F' Dat S**t"

I think adopting that attitude when encountering Low-Level Land 'opportunities' will go a long way at protecting oneself from the TRAP(S) that Low-Level Land 'opportunities' really are.

Analogy: Predatory lenders who are SEEMINGLY trying to help you. For one's financial health, one should RUN, not walk, away from them. In the long run, they are EVIL!

They are WOLVES in sheep's clothing.

Same goes for Low-Level Land opportunities.

When they try to entice you, just say NO! -- or "OFDS!!"

...and continue the quest for opportunities that are (or will/could TRULY LEAD TO) the real world BI TIME.

Cheers!
