<h1>The act of misleading someone</h1>
<p>&nbsp; </p>
<p>The act of mis-leading in the MLM industry, out here on the internet is crazy.<br />
I coined this phrase: <a href="http://www.getrichquick2011.com">The-Get-Rich-Quick-Merry-Go-Round.</a> No one knows this<br />
better than I. And I am going to tell the world about it. I want to be the reason<br />
for some not to go on the ride and hopefully be the reason others jump<br />
off just like I did.</p>
<p>I have been merry-go-rounded by the best of them. I sat at the feet<br />
of two very BIG names out here. Diane Hochman and Joe Schroeder.<br />
At first I participated thinking I was on the right track with the right people<br />
and then I just observed.</p>
<p>They taught me more than they will ever know.</p>
<p><strong>You have to position yourself where the people are!</strong></p>
<p>I’ve looked and found some pretty interesting blogs<br />
and websites talking about the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCakCaY2m4I&#038;feature=player_embedded">fraud of MLM.</a><br />
For instance Dean and Laura VanDruff’s blog.<br />
However what struck me is they are off the beaten track.</p>
<p>I thought to myself if you are going to take the time to write this stuff<br />
then why not put it in front of those who NEED to see it?</p>
<p>You guessed it, I’m positioning myself right where you are.<br />
Right where those who NEED to hear the saga of the<br />
get-rich-quick merry-go-round and how you are being used.<br />
All for the love of money.</p>
<p>Below is the kinda of stuff you see day in and day out, month after month<br />
pertaining to your <a href="http://iamjoanndonahue.com/2010/10/29/the-ugly-truth-of-the-home-based-business-industry/">new jersey home based business.</a></p>
<p>Bank deposits of a gazillion dollars-get rich quick now-<br />
it’s an autopilot get-rich-quick…no work…all software driven<br />
and I’m not sure how long this will be available, go check it now<br />
you’ll be very glad you did..</p>
<p><em> Great,  just what I need!  I really don&#8217;t have time to work &#8211;<br />
I just want to count my money at the end of each month!<br />
</em></p>
<h1>The get-rich-quick in motion</h1>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The people involved in  <strong><a href="http://iamjoanndonahue.com/2010/12/17/you-cannot-build-a-home-based-business-alone/">home based business</a></strong> scams never want to tell the truth,<br />
or else they might not make all that easy money … course with a 99.9% failure rate<br />
even if you sign up 1,000 people in your organization you will be lucky to have 10<br />
remaining after one year … and they will have the same failure rate as you do<br />
(or worse) so if you are honest about it all you know up front your business<br />
will crumble within 12 months (and you’ll have to move onto the next scam).</p>
<p>This is why all the big 8 figure earners are selling programs to teach you how<br />
to get 200+ leads a month. Do you know who else fits this bill? Jonathan Budd.<br />
He too will eventually run out of suckers/people and his numbers will fall off –<br />
no matter how much he hypes the “Unstoppable Entrepreneur”<br />
… you cannot rig the numbers.<br />
And he will be off to another deal of a life time just for you!</p>
<p>Let me paint you a picture…<br />
Example: Mike Dillard,<br />
Wealth Masters, Magnetic Sponsoring, Better Networker, and Elevation Group,<br />
One scam after the other.</p>
<p>I asked Mike Dillard by way of comment on a post he did when launching<br />
the elevation group. I happened to be up late and ran across the site.<br />
I read the hyped up fear he was trying to lay on you in hopes to rake<br />
in a few more bucks, <em>get-richer-still</em>.<br />
I just had to ask if he could tell me how many <strong> home based business</strong><br />
financially free, possibly millionaires came out of his Magnetic Sponsoring Course?<br />
After all, that is what is &#8220;perceived&#8221; to be promised with all your deals. </p>
<p>Do you know that post was down by morning and I found the answer in my inbox.<br />
They can&#8217;t say, how could they, and I was a quack for asking.<br />
Okay they didn&#8217;t come out and call me a quack, but the tone in the reply was loud and clear!</p>
<h2>Delusion vs. Truth</h2>
<p>Another thing I came to know after jumping of the<a href="http://www.getrichquick2011.com/"> <strong>get-rich-quick</strong></a> merry-go-round and then<br />
going thru the house of mirrors of the self development bull shit was this.<br />
( And I am HUGH advocate for people getting in touch with themselves and their spirit)<br />
These “gurus” have a corner on this topic and convince you<br />
this is the missing piece to your success puzzle. And guess what?<br />
They are not all wrong, self awareness is crucial to ones success,<br />
but to pay $78 a month on a membership site is crazy. (<em><strong>I used to be crazy</strong></em>)  It is not an MLM<br />
but it looks like one, it smells like one, it retains members like one, and it cost<br />
the same as one, and it benefits one person…The owner of the site!<br />
just like every MLM does…It’s a DUCK!</p>
<p>Self development is a free ride folks, you should never pay for that like I did.<br />
It’s on the internet, it’s in your local library, in the comforts of your own home<br />
as you close your eyes and just listen to your inner self.</p>
<p>Trust me, at first you aren’t aware of this being played on you.<br />
Once they figure out you don’t have the making’s of being<br />
like them, you know “slick” then you will not be taught squat.</p>
<p>They know if you are one of them or not,<br />
<em>a fox always smells it’s own hole!</em></p>
<p>Yet, they will string you along in hopes you string other people along by default.<br />
So when you leave, the people you strung along with you stay right there with them.<br />
Remember the numbers?</p>
<p>Yes, at one time, just like you, I thought I was being groomed for success.<br />
When the truth was I was being groomed to be slick.<br />
After I figured this out, I laid down my weapons, my pride<br />
and walked away. KNOWING you and I can learn to make<br />
an honest dollar out here or on main street, and not at the expense of selling<br />
your soul to the devil/gurus.</p>
<p>Little did anyone know I was taking it all in.<br />
I learned what NOT to do.<br />
I stayed long enough to see the scam thru the trees.</p>
<p>I could have put my tail between my legs, felt sorry<br />
for myself, walked away and said, “oh well, I failed”<br />
“I’m not good enough”, ”<br />
I am a loser” as so many do. What a shame.<br />
OR<br />
“Lessons well learned” .</p>
<h2>“Lessons Well Learned”</h2>
<p>When we face life’s lesson’s head on, decide instead of burying our heads<br />
in the sand we make a conscience decision to understand/learn why….<br />
there comes responsibility. One does not go thru fire, come out<br />
unscathed and not share the knowledge gained known to help not only<br />
themselves but many others.<br />
It’s not right.</p>
<p>We are one people says my pin I purchased at a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_4_23?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&#038;field-keywords=fleetwood+mac+the+dance&#038;sprefix=fleetwood+mac+the+dance">Fleetwood Mac</a> concert 20 years ago.<br />
I believed it then and I believe it now. I will ALWAYS believe it!<br />
We ARE one and we better start living our lives as such!<br />
<a href="http://iamjoanndonahue.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/new-jersey-home-based-business-world-wide3.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2078" title="new-jersey-home-based-business-world-wide" src="http://iamjoanndonahue.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/new-jersey-home-based-business-world-wide3-211x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>No matter what I am doing, working my day job, caring for<br />
my precious family, or getting a pedicure, this is all I think about.<br />
I am determined to show folks like yourself the truth about having a<br />
<strong><a href="http://iamjoanndonahue.com/2010/11/26/make-money-conveniently-from-homejoin-my-home-based-business-now/">legitimate home based business.</a></strong></p>
<p>I have a passion that runs deep in my soul.<br />
I must STAND UP.<br />
I must SPEAK OUT.</p>
<p>So where do you begin?<br />
First thing to do is start thinking for yourself.<br />
I am not kidding. Take some time out and put your beautiful MIND in<br />
this masterful written book filled with keys that will unlock you.</p>
<p>Rumor has it that while Bill Gates was attending Harvard University,<br />
He discovered and read <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Master-Key-System-Charles-Haanel/dp/1936594242/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=130036">The Master Key System</a><br />
It was this book that inspired the future founder of Microsoft<br />
to drop out of the University and pursue his dream of<br />
“a computer on every desktop.”</p>
<p>The reason I share this little tide bit with you is… if a geeky college<br />
student can sit at his classroom desk, not really wanting<br />
to be there and dream of a better tomorrow, then reads possibly<br />
another book in hopes to feed his soul and it changed his thinking….<br />
Well then, why not you?</p>
<p>This is NOT&#8230;<br />
read this book and you are destined to make a million dollars<br />
remember there is no <a href="http://www.getrichquick2011.com">GET-RICH-QUICK!</a></p>
<p><strong>No this about thinking for yourself!</strong></p>
<p>I read the book and it changed my thinking. I read the book almost<br />
everyday. I carry it with me, I read it at traffic lights, waiting in lines,<br />
I read it curled up on my couch with a cup of tea or a glass of wine.<br />
And every time I start back at page one<br />
the book opens up more, I open more!</p>
<p>Peace,</p>
