Such Opportunities Are Always Around. So It's Up to YOU to Understand and Resist Them.
We are all aware that get-rich opportunities have been around in various forms for centuries. Today there are numerous get-rich-quick schemes in the mail order and network marketing industries. The reality is that these offers are not going to go away, so it is left to those who feel compelled to fight against these schemes and let the unsuspecting newcomer know that there's NO FREE LUNCH.
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE GET RICH OPPORTUNITY
The get-rich opportunity works so well and has withstood the test of time because there are always people who need more money and those who are looking for something for nothing. Credit card debt and bankruptcy are at an all-time high in our society. When people are facing a mountain of debt, they become desperate for money, they become perfect targets for the get-rich-quick opportunity. The mind becomes fixed on finding ways of obtaining money.
GAMBLING TO GET MORE MONEY
There was a time, not so long ago, when Nevada was about the only state where gambling was legal. Now just about every state runs some kind of state lottery. Why? Because there are tens of millions of people who are willing to put down their hard-earned money to win the big jackpot.
Millions of people would not play the lottery every day if they didn't think there was some chance (no matter how remote) of them winning the big jackpot or some part of it. People gamble for the same reason that they join get-rich opportunity programs. THEY WANT MORE MONEY, NOW!
THE HOOK
When the mind becomes fixed on the need for money, the door is left wide open for the get-rich-quick promoter to enter and paint this fantastic mental picture of you obtaining all of your heart's desires: the dream house, the dream car, the dream vacation. All you have to do is purchase "The Secret Million Dollar Plan" that will put you on easy street forever.
The people who promote get-rich-quick schemes know exactly what their target market is thinking. They know that their target market wants to make all of the money they can, as quickly as they can. They know that when people feel they're in urgent need of money, they don't think in a rational, common sense way.
This makes it easy for the get-rich-quick operator to tell their target market exactly what they want to hear. They want to hear that they can obtain a huge amount of money in a very short time and they'll hardly have to lift a finger to get it.
The get-rich-quick promoter knows they have to strike while the iron is hot. They'll tell their target market that their million dollar secret is legal, honest and ethical and that it's 100 percent guaranteed to work.
The sad truth is, there are millions of people each year who will spend their last few dollars buying into a dream that is myth made of the fleeting winds. They spend their money only to find that they have been taken advantage of by the empty dream sellers.
If you are among the millions of people who have fallen prey to the get-rich quick dream sellers and feel that you have been unfairly taken advantage of, you can file a complaint with the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) by calling 1-877-382-4357. The FTC also provides information on how to spot and avoid all types of consumer fraud.
If you have a sincere desire to improve your financial condition, here are some things you might want to consider: If you're going to improve your lifestyle, you're going to have to do what most people are unwilling to do. You're going to have to create your own opportunities by taking advantage of the free information available to you through your local library and the small business administration.
Don't expect someone else to do for you what you can easily do for yourself. You must be willing to sacrifice the time and effort that it takes to make your own opportunity. Perhaps you have heard the saying, "Easy come, easy go." When people acquire huge sums of money without having to do much of anything to get it, in most cases, they usually don't hold onto it very long.
There are many lessons to be learned on the road to success. You will learn that true success in business comes only when you accept the responsibility of providing your customers with products or services that offer true value for their money.
Always keep in mind that there is a price to be paid for anything of true value. If you want to build a successful business and make money, you're going to have to pay the price. That price is...
