This is one of those things that likely won’t win me friends as it’s easy to misinterpret my intention of a message like this…
Though I can say that I absolutely have the best intentions at heart
I was just over at the only forum I spend any time in (off and on) and saw a post from a name I recognized.
The name was someone who contacted me a couple of weeks ago with a weak solicitation to have me promote his new info-product (which, at this stage, was actually just an idea as none of the product had yet been developed)…
I’m going to call him Tim just so I have a name to work with.
Tim is releasing a membership site to teach others how to make money… In his case, $47 per month.

I ended up turning my blunt forum reply to him into a look at 5 BIG mindset (and action step) mistakes that he’s making.
The resulting 20-page rant is actually in response to the MANY very similar beginner mistakes I see.
Thanks for the honest and “right-on” advice and information in this post. If someone gets mad, they first need to examine “WHY” they’re made. I have a firm belief that when something makes us mad, it’s usually because it’s true. Truth can hurt and truth can make someone mad. But truth, when listened to can inspire and motivate us. If people will look at the things that people say when they get mad, they’ll usually find that which is truest makes us the maddest. False statements are usually fleeting and the anger (if any) is usually short lived. As far as I’m concerned, you have nothing to apologize for in this post – you were “spot on”. I need that occasional “kick in the seat of the pants” to get me going sometimes as well.
It is only through learning the error of our ways that that we make any real progress. So even if it hurts our pride a little we should welcome constructive and critical analysis, learn from it and move on.
