The Personal Development SCAM
Fair Warning!
This message may be a little long.
But you have my promise it will be well worth your time.
For some of you, this message is really going to clean your clock!
For some of you, it will open your eyes.
And you will be FREE!
Maybe for the first time in years.
Maybe for the first time ever.
About halfway through the article, we'll take a trip together down the Rabbit Hole.
IF you're brave enough...
What is the SCAM?
When Jim Rohn said "Work harder on yourself than you do on your job"
He didn't mean success could be found out there.
He meant success is already within you.
Personal development is NOT about buying
The next book
The next eBook
The next CD
The next MP3
The next course
It is NOT about watching
The next video
The next DVD
The next LIVE stream
It is NOT about attending
The next webinar
The next meeting
The next event
The next company call
Personal development IS about making the most of
What you already have
Where you already are
With what you already have
Right NOW!
True personal development is not about MORE
It's about LESS
Bruce Lee called it "hacking away at the unessentials."
Michelangelo didn't sculpt, he freed what was already in the marble.
Yoda told Luke "You must unlearn all you have learned."
I want you to understand something
This is PROFOUND
This could F.O.R.E.V.E.R change your life and your business if you get it:
As long as you keep thinking that there is something more you have to learn, you
justify to yourself your lack of action, and therefore, your lack of results.
Read that AGAIN!
Can books, events, courses, and webinars help?
YES!
If you're new, you have to start somewhere.
But if you've been doing this a while
And you're still not absolutely CRUSHING it
Another book won't help
Another course won't help
Another event won't help
Another webinar won't help
You've fallen victim to the personal development SCAM
And only YOU can free yourself.
How many times have you bought a book
Started reading it
Then stopped reading after the first chapter
Because you bought ANOTHER book?
Now apply that scenario to a new course.
You buy this life-changing material
Invested a nice chunk of change
It's going to take your business to the next level
Everything is laid out for you like a success buffet
Step by step videos
Quick action checklists
Everything you need to "get 'er done!"
You download everything and dive right in!
You watch the first video
The instructor gives you an action step
You don't do it because you think there is more to learn
You feel you have to watch every video first
You feel you have to know everything before you take action
But wait, what's that over there?
Here We Go Down The Rabbit Hole!
(Follow me if you dare!)
Is that another new course?
Hey, if I get that one too, it will help me understand this one better.
Then I can really explode my business!
Okay, just made payment and I'm downloading everything.
This is going to be so cool.
Okay, download complete.
This is exciting!
Now to watch the first video.
Wow.
That was really great.
Not going to do the action steps right now.
I'll just wait until I finish the course and do it all at once.
Yeah, that will work!
Okay, second video...
Wait, what's that on my Facebook Timeline?
This webinar looks really interesting.
Maybe I should attend that before I finish the course I'm doing.
I think it will really help me understand everything better.
This webinar is awesome!
Such good ideas.
Sounds simple enough.
But wait, the speaker recommended a book.
Got to buy it!
I think it will really help.
I'll read this new book first.
Then I will finish the second course.
Then I will finish the first course.
Then I will be ready to make it happen!
Sounds good.
Okay, this first chapter is really great.
But wait.
This author mentioned a vintage book in the preface that really helped him.
Can't get it out of my mind.
Got to get that book!
I know it will help me understand the first book better.
Wow, this vintage book is really hard to find.
Took all day looking for it online and finally found it.
Spent a little more than I wanted but it's worth it.
Shipping notification says it will take a week to get here.
No problem.
It will be worth the wait.
Hey, what's that over there?
A new system?
Everything is already in place?
Hey, I can get that set up while I wait on my book!
Then, when I finish both books and both courses, I can really make this work.
Okay, spent today setting up this system.
I'm really making progress.
This is exciting!
It says to take a few small action steps but I'm going to wait.
Until I finish those 2 books.
And those other 2 courses.
Then I'll be ready!
It's a vicious cycle that NEVER ends.
It's the Personal Development SCAM!
And only YOU can save yourself.
If you keep going "down the rabbit hole"
You will never succeed
Because you will always think there's something else
Something new
Something cutting edge
You have to know first
Before you can take action
Therefore
You will NEVER take action
Your business will never grow
And you will never change
Until NOW!
Because NOW you understand
You've been scamming yourself
You got lost in the Rabbit Hole
If you're new
Seal off the Rabbit Hole now
Kill the monster while it's little
Buy that first course
Buy that first book
Attend that first webinar
But before you do ANYTHING else
DO what the material says to DO!
If you've been around a while
Look at all of the books around you
Look at all of the courses you have on the shelves
Look at all of the courses you have parked on the Internet
Look at all of the eBooks you have on your Tablet
Now seal the Rabbit Hole!
Take a solemn VOW that you will NOT buy anything new
Unless and until you use what you already have to the fullest
Until you are getting the results you want
From this moment forward, you are FREE.
I've shown you the escape route from the Rabbit Hole
From the Personal Development SCAM
From the trap
From the excuses
From the lack of results
My friend Diane Hochman says
"If you haven't gotten a new result in the last 7 days, you ain't doing the deal!"
So, do the deal.
STOP buying stuff.
Use what you ALREADY HAVE.
Commit to getting a new result this week.
Something
Anything
That only ACTION will produce
If you will DO that simple thing
Not only will you be forever FREE from the Rabbit Hole
You will be well on your way to unleashing the greatness inside
That will change you
That will change the world.
