Years ago I got some junk mail with the
headline:
"Lies, Lies, Lies!"
It was selling an investment
newsletter and it
had cartoons on the first page of all the people
who
are lying to us in the financial world.
Like, for example, stock
brokers, politicians,
investment "gurus", the IRS, sue-happy lawyers,
bureaucrats, etc.
It was definitely an advertisement.
But it
also did you a SERVICE, too.
Because in between the sales pitch it
brought
awareness about all the scams, lies and trickery
going
on.
And you know what?
Lies also infest the home based
business world, too.
Whether it's the fly-by-night MLM
company with
the founder who was in prison twice before...
....or
the so-called "penny auctions" that constantly
get shut down by the
feds....
....or some Internet pyramid scheme where
no actual product
is moved...
....they're out there.
Stalking you.
Hunting
you.
Waiting for you to make a move so they can
prey on you.
I
saw it all the time while looking for
a home based business.
And yes,
I wasted a ton of money I really needed
(to fix the car, put food on the
table,
pay the rent, or just pay the interest on
all my
debt).
Not all home based business opportunities are
bad, of
course.
There ARE some good ones out there.
But if you pick the
wrong one, it could be
an expensive mistake.
So choose
wisely.
Check out ALL claims.
And keep your ear out for lies (if
you hear even one, run!)
