If you don't want to invest in yourself or a business, get a job

Published: Tue, 07/13/21

Once upon a time, my pal Ray Higdon posted about how he regularly gets people asking him about a business where they don't have to invest any money up front.

His reply?

"If you don't want to invest in yourself or a business, get a job."

He ain't just whistlin' Dixie, neither.

Free only gets you so far, after all.

Which is one reason why I spend time in these emails and in my sales copy talking about who should *not* be buying.

Like freebie seekers.

Or new product junkies always looking for their next bright shiny object "fix."

Or people who want a "lazy" way to do the business.

Yada, yada yada...

It's not because I think they're bad people. Probably, they are swell boys & ghouls. But if someone is complaining about the "cost" of a product instead of looking it as a long term investment then they have no place at my table. Probably they belong at the kiddies table shooting marbles with all the free reports and eBooks they accumulate, and talking tough about all their so-called knowledge on Flakebook or whatever, but never actually do anything with it.

Most people really should be at a job.

They really should be taking orders.

And, they really should be told what to do, working their entire lives to give their boss and his family a lifestyle, instead of themselves and their own family a lifestyle. There's no shame in it whatsoever. Most people go their whole lives happily obeying their betters at work like a good little soldier, taking whatever scraps they get thrown from the table.

Maybe that sounds a tad patronizing.

But it's true if all you want is "free."

In that case, maybe you should be at a job. Maybe you should work for a boss in a short sleeved dress shirt & tie with a clipboard promoted one level above his competency. And, maybe you should be carrying reports to your superiors for the next 20+ years of your time on this planet.

It's your life, do whatever you want with it.

On the other hand:

If you want to associate with the exact opposite of that, check out my free social media lair.

Probably won’t find the prole types in there.

And if there are any, they won’t last long.
