Straight cash > Noble aesthetic. But only to those of stringent resilience.

Philip, I understand you completely, don't get me wrong. I'm European and hang out with the crowd every week. But beneath the silk and pearls lies nothing but the came carnal dependence on net revenue that drives every other man on the street.
This. I understand where Phillip is coming from. But to me when I see companies like Blackstone, $329M profit a year I think wow. What's that? $329M was the profit for just a quarter?? W.T.F.
Phillip, if you're reaching for goals like that then props to you.
For me, that's completely out of any level I'd ever wish to be on. The headaches of running a company like that must be phenomenal. The lifestyle that comes with a company like that isn't for me.
But you can find a balance. You don't have to 'peddle' anything. You can run a respectable business providing all sorts of educational/informational products/manuals/dvd's/courses and still make more then enough money to have a
great relaxed lifestyle and still give back to <your choice>.
Then there are crosses between the two, with huge companies like Guthy-Renker banking in the hundreds of milions with direct marketing principles.
If that's not for you, each to his own. I'll only ever encourage you to do what you wish, and hope you get it.
And us getting together to share techniques + methods, can still be done. We can still all help each other with an abundant, sharing attitude.
Keep watching this thread. I'm still looking at a few places for us to to this. many members have been really helpful so far. Thank you.
When I find something I'll drop it here.
Definitely down!
...and its also good to see people here who aren't quick to flaming the topic.
Anyone read the book by Vincent James "How I Made $77 Million in 2 Years"? For those who haven't, here's an upload
How I Made 77 Million In 2 Years.pdf
I love that man. Vince 'Passafiume' James seems like a cool guy. He was closed down for some shady stuff, but as far as his knowledge goes, he's A+. $7M a month is not too shabby.
Just following the info in that book alone can make you rich. Check out his audios too if you can.
He's a straight student of Halbert + Kennedy. As a matter of fact, I swear he got started with direct marketing after reading an Abraham course.
