>> My talk will be short.
>> I started my internet business about 17 months ago.
>> Up to date, I made no dollars (I didn't even try yeat. I know I'm not
>> ready).>> I’m not an expert because I don’t have any experience in writing.
>> However, I know where stuff is.
>> I have learned to recognize good stuff and bad stuff.>> AWAI course is good.
And you know it's good because you've made ZERO income with it in 17 months??? If you haven't used it profitably, and haven't seen it work, how can you state that it's good and "Best in the $500 price range" below?
>> In fact, is one of the best you can find in this price range. 500
>> dollars aren't so much. If you truly want you can easily take more out of
>> this course.>> Anyway, AWAI course is GREAT opportunity for everyone who wants to
>> make some money from his home.Once again - How can you state it's a great opportunity for home-based income - You have yet to see the first dollar. You only have your own opinion of how much you have learned - not the opinion or writing fee of a client who has paid you to write copy. Without a 3rd party evaluation of the writing skills you learned from AWAI, who's going to believe your self evaluation? That's like grading your own term paper on a final exam in college. Of course you'll tend to believe your paper deserves an "A". Which is why the professor grades your work.
>> And keep in mind please that great majority of very successful people
>> didn’t finish universities or made scientific titles.Not true. There degree may have been in a different field from there successful venture, but very few highly successful people in today's age skipped college - outside of the entertainment and sports fields.
>> Do you know what is the biggest “funnel system” and Real Scam of our
>> world?>> The answer is: SYSTEM of EDUCATION
>> Since we are born, we are "funneled" everyday. This system
>> is designed to make you “slave”.I agree, most schools are designed to turn out employees. But, most people are destined to be employees, because the lack the determination, drive, and self-discipline to be successful without supervision.
If even half of US citizens opted for self-employment, our economic system wouldn't work. How are GM, Ford, Chrysler, IBM, ATT, MicroSoft, FritoLay, and other Fortune 5000 companies supposed to operate without employees.
>> I don’t care if Michael Masterson was a criminal. Everyone makes
>> mistakes, even God.If he 'was' a criminal, how do you know it's only in his past?
>> What I care about is information provided by him. And I can say that
>> his course isn’t worst that Ted Nickolas’s advices.A resounding recommendation if I ever heard one - Kinda like - His course doesn't suck and bad as so-and-so's course? Sheesh. Yeah, you sold me with that one.
>> In fact, I found “six figures course” to be one of the best in its
>> class.>> Thanks
>> Andrew
>> P.S No, I didn't buy tons of stuff from AWAI or other providers. What
>> I can get for free I will get for free.>> I know that only training will give me good pay off. Even if I have to
>> wait next 17 months it's not a problem for me.34 months, you could be three-quarters of the way through a college degree. Without doing the course work, how do you know you wouldn't have been better off?
>> I know what I desire and don't expect 1000000 on my bank account after
>> one course...How about the first $1000 or even $500, which would mean you at least broke even on your $500 investment?
>> I'm not an idiot.
Again, your self-evaluation against what yardstick or other measurement? One $500 writing course, zero results, no paying clients, 17 months later and you're still $500 in the hole.
Zero results = zero proof.

P.S. I never got to finish my college degree in business, but I'm using much of what I learned (math, business, computer science, etc.) from my 3 years in college in my business today. And I've been self-employed full-time since 1987, selling to business, industry, non-profit organizations, as well as government buyers. (Just glad I didn't read your post 30 years ago and skipped my college education!)
P.S. No gold watch for met after 30 to 40 years. Being self-employed, I expect to keep selling 'til my 97th birthday. By then watches will be mostly obsoletel
Use this list of criteria to evaluate virtaully any home-based opportunity!

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.

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!!). |
