FIB - Scams 101
Real Entrepreneurs know This

Real entrepreneurs know this:
They know that until you have cultivated the mindset/attributes
that have systematically created success for thousands of years...
you will create more resistance and struggle for yourself
as you labor towards your goals of total financial freedom.On the contrary...if you have put in the EFFORT to develop
yourself at a deeper level...and WAKE UP to more of who and
what you are...success simply comes to you with FAR less
effort.In fact, as I continue this journey it's 10x easier for me
to now make WAY MORE MONEY then I was making just a few months
ago. And I'm really not even putting in that MASSIVE grunt
work I had to put in to build my foundation just a few months
back.Developing your self is a lot like that. You HAVE to put in
some serious effort and work somewhere my friend.When I was just starting out on this journey I was TERRIFIED.
I was scared of failure, scared of poverty and being broke,
scared of disappointing myself and other people.I would get into funks about my self worth, self love, I would
feel sad because I was spending so much time in front of the
computer and my social life STUNK! (And I was use to having
people everywhere!)But despite all that...I never stopped. I stared adversity down
and just KEPT GOING.I was HONEST with my feelings. I DID NOT RUN from them.
And if there is one thing I can convey to you here today that
will make the biggest difference in your life and business it
is that right there.The power of being HONEST with yourself is beyond words. I
promise you that. The people that are able to be HONEST with
their emotions, and not RUN from things that cause them fear,
doubt, or pain...are the STRONGEST PEOPLE PERIOD.It takes 10x more strength to be HONEST with yourself about
how you really feel...then to go turn on the TV and pretend
like emotions don't exist.And that *EMOTIONAL STRENGTH* is the #1 factor to creating
mammoth success when YOU are building your OWN business.Being an Entrepreneur is NOT easy. (not at first anyway)
It will DEMAND many things from you. It will challenge you.
Test you. Maybe even TAKE precious things from you.I know I lost the love of my life because our paths went separate
ways...But the thing that will get you through it ALL is that level
of emotional strength that you build within yourself...which
the *core* of is total Integrity and Honesty.Most of us are on this journey because we are following our
hearts.Some of us are probably still running after the money at all
costs and that's ok. Once you get the money...I'd like to
hear if you actually feel satisfied yet? You NEVER WILL!!You'll always want more. The mind will constantly think
it needs to 'acquire' something else in order to be satisfied.
So if you're chasing the money...good luck! :)I've come to believe through all the people I've met in this
industry, that money is not what most of us are after.We're after freedom. We're after LIVING LIFE. We want to
feel alive, we want our lives to have Meaning. And that's
why we work the way we do.Well, I'm here to tell ya that you can have it all RIGHT NOW!
In fact, if you come into this moment right here...and you really
let yourself be present RIGHT NOW...you *WILL* feel alive.If you're honest with yourself 100%. If you deal with painful
emotions as they arise. If you look INSIDE instead of outside
for solutions...You will change you life right now. You don't need $100,000
a month to change your life! In fact, money like that is
ONLY going to come to you if you make the changes RIGHT NOW,
and learn to love yourself in this moment, and appreciate
how FULL this moment really is.If there's one secret to how I've went from making $400 last
October to making Almost $40,000 in the first 3 weeks of this
October it's THAT FACT up above.My honesty, my happiness in this MOMENT, has ALWAYS been more
important to me then some 'mental projection' of the future.Then some fantasies of millions of dollars, and nice cars,
and riches, and blah blah blah.I'm not saying there's anything wrong with any of that. Because
I don't believe there is.But what I'm saying is that's never been important to me. And
by staying HONEST, TRUE, and putting in the EFFORT to deal
with the obstacles that came into my life as they arose...
I developed the Internal Strength and growth needed to create
ENORMOUS results in a relatively short period of time.And real results will never come unless you put in the
work to GROW Luis. It's just the way it is...So, my firend! success within ourselves STARTS when we look at the underlying emotional programming that causes us to SUFFER.
And we deal with it.
Because once our vision of our self is no longer clouded by fear,
doubt, anger, pain, or any of that stuff...we see ourselves
for who we REALLY are.Which is an infinitely powerful being...capable of things beyond
our imaginations. Trust me on that one. :)When you come from a place of REAL power, a place of Truth
and love, you can reach staggering heights of success.Even if you think you're successful now...you could be a
million times more successful if you were always coming from
that place.And the best part is...when you come from that place...you
FEEL successful no matter what! Because you'll be filled
with joy and happiness which is worth WAY more then money
ever will.Ok my friends, I'm getting back to work. But hopefully I` transfered some energy to you today that will help you to feel stronger, clarify a path to success both internal and external, and move you closer to your goals.

FIB - Scams 101 is maintained by Lesley Fountain with WebBBS 5.12.
| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so. We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials. By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example. You grant Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications complete, perpetual, but non-exclusive rights to use, archive, reproduce, adapt, modify, distribute, sub-license, repurpose, rework, compile, or offer for sale or resale the messages, postings or content appearing on this site in whole or in part, throughout the world and universe, on a royalty-free basis without remuneration. If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board. In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
