Note that when I say “you,” I am not referring to you exactly, but a generalized “you,” as in speaking to an audience.
The point is respecting people’s results regardless of whether you think they are true or not. If you think the person is lying, you can report your evidence to the moderator staff, or you can simply ignore what they have to say.
What we’re not going to do is by default, call into question every single person who gets good results. Why? Because you’re jealous of the results they’re getting? And then to hide behind the guise of “skepticism,” so you can continue your charade / self-delusion?
We all work too hard to have that kinda nonsense hanging over this forum – and to be honest, it’s non-negotiable.
What is the point of questioning the results of everyone who actually reports good stuff? I know – self-delusion. A person who does this is looking for ANYTHING to discredit that person’s results so that they can continue to languish in their own insecurities.
No.
You already do the same thing with the celebrities and politicians and the such who don’t care about you at all. That being said, who is being “treated” like a god? It isn’t coming from our end. All of you high flow, high results individuals – are @Fire and myself any less distant from you? Do we engage with you THAT much more than anyone else?
I can answer that – no. Yes, to those who test and report a lot, we give them first shot at testing – but that’s because they are reliable testers. In the Zero Point test, we deliberately chose hard gainers to see what they’d get, and we’ll probably do the same for ZP v3 testing.
There are no gods here on this forum. There are successful people and there are unsuccessful people. You get to choose which side you’re on and how you treat the other. Has nothing to do with us.
But regardless of whether you think they are “gods” or not, you will treat everyone with respect.
If you’re referring to @Invictus specifically, I will say that behind the scenes – not even with us, but the entire moderation staff – has proven every last one of his non-sexual results in detail. He is not lying, he just hustles his ass off. If you see this as favoritism, that’s on you.
Yes, I agree. But, there’s something to be said about learning from someone with a similar background as you. For example, I grew up exceptionally poor and from a very small, nameless town. I am no longer poor and I live quite comfortably, buying whatever I want, when I want.
So, my advice to @SaintSpring would be to develop a talent – something you LOVE doing it. That you would do even if you didn’t get paid, and then figure out how to turn that talent into an income generating path. Look into the idea of market disruption AND look into the principles of a “blue ocean market” strategy to see how you can capitalize on that talent. Then, use the MVP model to take your product to market.
Market Disruption:
Disruption is the process by which a smaller company—usually with fewer resources—moves upmarket and challenges larger, established businesses. In both low-end and new-market disruption, incumbent businesses are motivated by higher profit margins to not fight the new entrant for market share.
Blue Ocean Strategy:
The simultaneous pursuit of differentiation and low cost to open up a new market space and create new demand. It is about creating and capturing uncontested market space, thereby making the competition irrelevant. It is based on the view that market boundaries and industry structure are not a given and can be reconstructed by the actions and beliefs of industry players.
Minimum Viable Product (MVP):
A minimum viable product, or MVP, is a product with enough features to attract early-adopter customers and validate a product idea early in the product development cycle. In industries such as software, the MVP can help the product team receive user feedback as quickly as possible to iterate and improve the product.
How do I know this works? lol, look around you. We built Subliminal Club on these principles. But of course, it’s a lot more complicated than just running with it, but you learn with experience and by making good decisions.
Anyway, what @SaintSpring is saying is that he wanted someone with that similar background to help him with the next step, as he doesn’t have the additional cash to make that step as someone who may have wealthy parents would.
THAT is not belitting someone’s results. Telling someone they can’t help at all because they have rich parents IS belitting results, and it will hold you back.
How did I learn about all this business stuff, like what I just posted? I told you all already. Years ago, I went on LinkedIn and I messaged as many CEOs and VPs as I could (even at big companies) and said I wanted to buy them a coffee if they’d answer my question.
Most of them responded that they were too busy to go out for coffee, but they would gladly answer a few questions. I’d ask the question, then I’d send them a gift card for their help.
You wouldn’t believe how many of those contacts I had until recently (once I left the corporate world, I kinda went full on isolation mode and stopped responding, lol).
