To the bolded sentence, I would add: "but some people would."

It's real easy to confuse 'con artist' with 'successful person' online because all we have is their words to go on. Unless we do our due diligence, of course .. which most people don't do because it's too much work and takes too long. 

Easier to just "try it out and see if it works"  and then wonder (1) why no one believes our posts and (2)Why no one clicks our links.  Sometimes, it's because of the *birds of a feather* others see us flying with.

Food for thought?

Hello Linda,

Thanks for the excellent article.  This is sage advice, very similar to what my first Sponsor, who became one of the Top 5 in Amway, back in the 70's, told me when I signed up.  One will never attain any higher level of success or prosperity than the levels attained by those with whom he associates.  One is definitely known by the company they keep, or as my Mother used to say, "You should be nice to everyone, but you shouldn't associate with everyone."

Thanks Again,

Phil

Hi Linda,

This a very good article, and I enjoyed reading it very much. I have to agree with the author and with you as well...I love your after thoughts!

It is so true that we only have someone's word to go on, which really doesn't mean a thing because "talk is cheap". Anyone can say they are a successful Marketer, doctor, author, pastor etc., but unless we actually know the person we have no way of knowing if what they say is fact!

So, we do have to do our due diligence and check people and programs out before he jump head first into something.

I loved what you wrote here; "Sometimes, it's because of the *birds of a feather* others see us flying with. that is so true and very well said! People may not like that statement, but most people will look at someone and make an opinion solely on the company that they keep! So, be careful who you hang with, it just may be a reflection on you!

Thanks for sharing this Carol.

God Bless You,

Marilyn
