So is it too good to be true?
Is that 10 CD training package really worth it? Is that free workshop really a workshop? Or is it just a day-long hard-sell of an expensive software program or seminar? Should you make 3 easy payments of $449.95 to buy that software program that supposedly makes millionaires while boating off the Florida coast?
These are the TOP 10 “poker-tells” (Read: WARNING SIGNS) that indicate you’re about to be “guru-ed” (Read: SCAMMED) out of your money.
1) If they show a guy on a $10 million dollar yacht, bought with “1 tiny classified ad” or my “quick start video”, you’re being “guru-ed”.
2) If they show that omni-present single-mom who wanted to “spend more time with my children” you’re being guru-ed.
3) If they show that old man who looks like a sweet old grandpa who says “even I can do it”, you’ve just been “guru-ed”
4) If they show the program creator driving a sports car or luxury convertible down the street, wind care freely blowing his hair in the wind, you’ve been guru-ed….yea like a 3 year old Corvette or BMW 5 series is impressive.
5) They show people sitting in front of a palm tree on the beach lavishly extolling their success, because you know, all multi-millionaires hang out at the beach…afterall, that’s how they became millionaires … sitting around on the beach.
6) If you hear the words “only 5 hours a week!”
7) If you see someone sitting at the kitchen table, laptop computer open, and a big smile on their face .. RUN … you are being guru-ed.
8) If you hear “I’m doing this because I love to help people succeed” RUN and then ask “Why is your seminar $5,000? Why are you advertising a FREE CD but yet ask me to pay $10.95 for shipping and handling?”
9) If you hear “are you tired of working for someone else?”, lookout, someone has their eye on your wallet and you’re just about to be “guru-ed”
and finally
10) If you are ordering anything “informative” at 2am from the TV, you’re being “guru-ed”. Quit watching the boob-tube…buy a book, open it, and learn something. Then do something.
FASTLANE ACCELERANT
The art of selling money-making “systems” on TV via informercial is a great Fastlane plan. Unfortunately, the systems being sold aren’t as Fastlane (profitable) as the vehicle being peddled.
This one has got to be my favorite …

When I was in my 20's, they laughed and said I was nuts. "MJ! You're dreaming!" Then, I got the last laugh. I retired in my 30's and now live a dream. Those same people now whore their life away for a paycheck only to reclaim their salvation on the weekend. With a correctly executed Fastlane plan, everyday of your life can be your weekend.
