Free registration at the forum removes this block.Man, this was a while ago, surprised you even responded to it.I had completely forgotten about it too.
Do I even want to continue trying to argue with you?Nope, seriously couldn't care about you anymore or trying to reply.It's hard trying to talk with someone as crazy as you.It's futile because of they way you think and how mighty and high you perceive yourself, and I really don't want to dissect your whole post.
I'll delete the pictures,
As for that little paragraph, I sat through 0 meetings...Talked to no one but other owners of businesses, and our exchanges had little to do with sensitive information.You didn't train me either.So I don't see the point in that paragraph...Anyways, not going to let you get me down on Christmas.I won't be replying again, happy holidays everyone.
Reopened as we have many new members who should be reading this and it's gotten buried.
While I did not call out any individual in the OP I obviously crafted my post based on a few notorious members. With that in mind, not all the warning signs are apparent in any one person.

I dont know who that is but I stole the line from@theag I knew that $60k a year line was familiar. Iron Solomon used the same line in a rap battle. LMAO... I was very close to actually giving you credit for being clever.

The value should actually be pretty clear.Why allow shit to fester? Where's the value in shit?
Very true... I just happen to agree with @IceCreamKid kid specificallyIt's not hard to see when it's blatantly in front of you.
Sometimes it's not blatantly in front of you though, and that's the problem.
This thread was definitely aimed at you, and to say otherwise is just trying to pathetically shield yourself.It's quite obvious at who it was aimed at
.
Yeah, and you'd never pay them a dime for working with you when It did happen.Not even sure if you could pay workers because you'd always say how many millions you have lined up but you will never close them because they're non-existent.You simply used it to entice your "mentees" to work for you.
No, but you love using them to cold call for your shady partnerships.I find it hilarious how you're trying to say that you hate working with kids but you've done so.It's much easier to manipulate the mind of a teenager or young adult than it is to manipulate the mind of a man.
Yeah, and it's pretty great for giving scammers a platform too.Remember Saveonmyvacations.com Ubermensch? Or Costcrushers.com?I'm sure you remember them.
Look, you'll try to deny that you've worked with kids before and that you've made them cold call for you and do this and that.
You'll forever be a deranged lunatic who makes no money because that's what you're good at
I don't care about the business you do or how much money you claim to make -- however, I do care if that business involves using the forum as your personal sales funnel.
You're post-midnight rants definitely have an witty edge to them... what's the secret? Booze? Weed? Insomnia?
Hey, What's up man.Just two quick questions that's directed towards energy brokerage.If you don't mind answering It would help me a lot.
1.From my understanding, you have to take tests in order to qualify to become an energy broker.Do you know If someone under the age of law will be able to take these tests?I've looked around a lot and can't come to a decisive answer.
2.After the tests are completed I assume you start looking for suppliers to supply the energy.Do you find these suppliers locally or across the US?If not where would one really start after taking the tests?
Again, I highly appreciate it if you could take some time to answer those two questions.From reading your posts around the forum, I think you're a really awesome dude.You're the go-to man for energy brokering on these forums and I just recently picked up an interest in the energy brokering business.No real reason to sell myself so I'll just leave it at that.
Thanks for your time.

No tests are required for brokering energy.
Finding suppliers is an art.

Not necessarily. It's all about price in the electricity game, because electricity is electricity. The bigger players typically have the best pricing. Typical exception is a new supplier new to the market and therefore extra hungry, therefore extra aggressive on margins.
Considering questions you and other members have submitted via pm recently, I was thinking about starting an ask me anything thread on energy sales. Think that'd be a good idea?

So I'm sitting here at 11:36 PM doing absolutely nothing.
Frankly It's not fun sitting on your a$$ all day and I'm quickly getting fed up with it.All I do all day is sit on my computer and try my best to sell accounts.
I guess to make it quick and snappy, Uber you're an awesome dude and I would love to help you or offer any type of service to you.Anything to get me experience in the world of business.I wouldn't mind helping you in any way possible, as long as I do "Something".I'm young as hell and entrepreneurship is my passion.
I couldn't care less about getting paid I'm solely asking this of you to share some knowledge with me and I can work for you.
I'm sure a lot of people ask this of you and I'm positive I'm not the only one.It doesn't have to be a forever thing I just want you to help me out In areas and in return I'll gladly do any work you present me with.
I understand If you respond with a "no" or something of the sorts but please think It over and let's get something figured out.

Just to clarify, this wasn't me. I've exchanged thousands of dollars with site members, and I'm pretty sure I've spent more than I've received for work. I've paid two guys multiple times for various online work, like web design/development, marketing materials, copywriting, etc.
Good talk!One of my favorite quotes - "Everybody has something to say. Not everybody is worth listening to."
Here's another - "You will be the same person in 5 years as you are today except for the people you associate with and the books you read."
I hope to address the younger men of this forum. The 18 to twenty somethings.
Please note: this does not apply to all in that age group but a small segment. If this does not apply to you please disregard.
Please be mindful of who you admire, look up to, follow, associate with, work with and/or befriend.
Why am I specifically addressing young men? While it's not exclusive, it seems this demographic is the "market" that people with ill intentions target. They target them by promoting, flaunting and exuding bravdo, greed, money, cars and playboy lifestyles.
Here on the forum they may post threads of self worth or photos of checks and stacks of cash. They like to clash with the more well known respected members (bravado/hoping to demonstrate they are alpha males). Or they may actually use same respected members to unknowingly "validate" their successes and claims. They may insult and belittle others for not being as "intelligent" or "enlightened" as they are. All while building up and befriending those that seem ripe for the picking.
In the real world they do much of the same thing using their instagram, snapchat and personal blogs.
They build a cult following of young "like minded" men that want all the materials things that money can buy.
They promote mindsets of excess greed and believe the end justifies the means. They idolize and glorify people, companies and movies that should be examples of what NOT to do.
Why the warning?
Some of these type of people will use their cred and "celebrity" with these young men to convince them to do things that are frankly wrong, illegal or unethical. Or, they get them to work for them for free in hopes of bigger payouts down the line. Oddly those payouts never materialize. Or they get them to invest in "projects" like ad campaigns, websites or even businesses. Or they coerce them to pay for mentoring. Mentoring that simply falls short. Or they get them to start credit cards and lines of credit in their name and in turn, allow the "guru" to use at their discretion.
Unfortunately, I know that my warning will mostly fall on deaf ears. Most people only learn through experience in matters such as these. I can only hope someone will read this and it becomes a turning point in their mindset and cause them to dig deeper before becoming enamored with the next alpha wolf flaunting their "success".
Develop critical thinking skills.
Trust but verify. Truth always survives investigation.
It's worth repeating...
"You will be the same person in 5 years as you are today except for the people you associate with and the books you read." I'll add - "Choose better."

Totally, agree, even someone I vehemently looked up to: Tony Robbins. I even wanted to become a life coach after spending months consuming his material. He turned out to be not the person I thought he was, I'm not saying he's a bad person (who am I to judge?) but I am saying that as young people it's very easy for us to model the people we admire because we're so impressionable. That's why it's so important to never consider anyone a "guru" and to always 1. Think independently (critical thinking as OP said) and 2. Understand that there's always more to a person and you can never know their full story.
Just some lessons I've learned.
Wow I just read through the entire thread and have to say that my eyes were opened and I will be less naïve to think that I can trust all the successful (or said to be successful) high contributors on this forum or others. I had just finished reading some of the aforementioned scammers posts and was growing a respect or even a liking to them.
Thanks for those who contributed to this thread and those who were willing to call people out and protect newbies (like myself) from them.
Damn I forgot about that ICK. He took my money and I never even got the call. I was so excited too I was telling everyone about it in anticipation.
I was younger and less experienced then, I still am now, but its sad because there is a never ending supply of people at the stage I was at to prey on.
Wish I knew what happened with ZD, sounds interesting, I remember the threads and the hype.
I just wasted 5 minutes of my life reading two kids argue about who is mentoring who.
F*ck sake guys.
As for your empty insults, they don't affect me in the slightest, because as @Vigilante pointed out, my critiques have an element of "bitching" to them. Hilarious, because your behavior reminds me a whole helluva lot of my ex-girl friends. First, you say you love me. Then you say you F*cking love me. Then you curse my name. LMFAO!
That's the thing you don't get here, Zach. Some people are so dumb that they figure out how to lose the golden goose and still get egg on their face. What you don't get is that it would be a bad idea for someone that worked with me closely, with months upon months of documented exchange of sensitive information (from me to him), who sat in on meetings with legitimate clients and strategic partners, discussing transactions as high as nine figures in total revenue and eight figures in total profit... it would be a pretty bad idea for someone that sat in on all of that, who was introduced to practically every person inside of my personal network (including my attorneys that specialize in lawsuits), to make the very grave error of spreading false and distorted stories about me.
"I don't see your point in posting all of the PM's (frankly that's rude and I haven't posted anything of our convos),what does it prove?That I was happy?How does that equal
desperation"?I thought we were done with this conversation but you just like to have it go on and on, and if I don't reply then people don't get one side to everything.Posting PM's was not needed.
Mods should really step in as this will probably just get worse,I'm not going to have someone post private PM's and type "LOL" in response like a child.
