FORTUNATE TIMES

by Stephan Bourget

I don't know what you think about it, but I believe all those growth projections for the internet and I plan around it, too.

We have the opportunities to be of great assistance to the continual influx of new people and we can grow rich in the process.

The playing field for riches is more level in our day and time than it has ever been before. Sure, the masses are fearful. It often seems too wonderful to them, they become suspicious, but it is really because of the past. There has never been the kind of opportunity we have today, EVER, in the history of the world, so a lot of people are still stuck on believing it isn't possible!

Yes, I know, it seems silly and it is silly, but people take time to get new things down inside them. When I was growing up, I had a friend whose grandmother swore up and down that we never landed on the moon and that it was all an elaborate hoax! She went to her grave believing that, even though everyone assured her it was all so very real.

Making money on the internet can be a lot like that to people. Face it, they've been hammered all their life, "Go to school and get a good job with a good company." So, that's what they do. Then we come along and tell them to start their own internet business, be their own boss, make more money than they ever could working at their job, and that the internet is the gold mine they've been looking for, just place ads from their computers and get in on the gravy train.

We're not lying. We even offer proof. But, they're scared. They're not good risk managers. They can't see losing a few thousand dollars, for example, in order to figure out how to make a few hundred thousand dollars per month. They are like the old saying, "a penny wise and a dollar foolish."

"Hindsight is always 20-20." They'll be able to look back at some point and say, "Crap, I should've risked this and I should've stuck with that."

Throughout history, the average person has been trained to view opportunity as something elusive and unattainable in the far distance. But, on the internet, it jumps up in your lap! That's simply because so many communication barriers have been broken down and the needed skill levels have been drastically reduced.

People have a hard time imagining that just about all they need to do is keep advertising. But, what else is there? True, you can learn html or programming, but you can also pay others to do that for you, if you want to. In just the same way, opportunity may come to a person "ready to go," site designed and programmed, recruiting system proven and in place. All people have to do is get in and go to it.

These are fortunate times we live in. Let's not waste them on the ghostly fears of times gone by. Opportunity is no longer in the distance. It is yours to embrace right where you are.
