Sally: About that book and all books like it

In Response To: Re: Why would you assume.. (sally)

Sally,

I do not own the book nor have I read it. But I can tell you that I have read many similar books and they are all the same. Not that they aren't good, but just that they are the same.

But you have to realize what they mean when they say "simple steps".

When people market books and such like Millionaire Mindset, they use words like "simple". Example: "Be a Millionaire in 4 Simple Steps".

However, they misuse the word. They don't mean that each step is actually simple to accomplish, but they mean that each step is easily explained.

For instance, I can bet you that one of the steps in the book Millionaire Mindset" will be to adopt and exercise a positive attitude. Well, sure enough, that is simple to say and explain. Therefore, that is one simple steps.

However, it IS NOT simple to implement for everyone. If you have been a negative minded person for your whole life and that is all you know, then it will be ANYTHING BUT simple. Going from a negative mind to a positive mind won;t happen in just one day or one hour. Depending on the person it will take months or years or even a decade. In fact, depending on the person, it might not even be possible at all.

See what I mean. Words are often misused or "redefined" when marketers get a hold of them. They twist things and words to make you, the buyer" see/hear what you want to hear.

So just be careful.

That said, for something like an in-print book, there really is no need to worry about losing your money if you didn't like the book. Simply go to the library and check it out for free. Costs you nothing but a little time.

If your library does not happen to carry that title, then ask them to get it from another library on and inter-library loan. This is very common and they will be happy to do it for you.

No need to waste your money on books. That's what the library is for. ;)

NOTICE TO SCUMBEEZLES
(you know who you are... you scream "Foul!" when the truth comes out)

        PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
        If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace.
        NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!"
        Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.
        Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

        In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact.
        And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!).
