A Surefire way to Strive for Success and Still Stink Successfully

Disclaimer: I have personally tried all (well most) of the following procedures in my endeavours to be a successful entrepreneur, businessman, consultant, blogger, advertiser, webmaster, freelancer, affiliate, whoremaster, lover, husband, father, son and holy ghost and none have worked for me. Try them on for size and see if they fit your lifestyle and dreams and deepest desires because they sure didn’t work for me even though all the books and manuals I have read and paid good money for said they would make me a success in everything I would ever try and make me lots and lots of money living my dreams…

  • Buy The Book
    I have just about every book ever written by the most successful business people in the whole world in every language from every country and continent (I also bought translating programs so I could read them but the books were so badly written in the first place the translator just gave me jibberish so I tried to get my money back for the translator and the books but failed to get any money back and then they cancelled my credit card for not payment because I was trying to make a point that the products I bought were useless) Was I supposed to read them?
  • Answer an e-mail
    Sister deSilvmaadaadan sent an e-mail to me asking for a contribution to her hospice in Nigeria and promised to send me a check for three million dollars in return for my kindness once my check had cleared and the international monetary fund approved her charity for donations from a foreign country but that my check was needed now to get the children of the village she was fostering currently needed food and medicine to sustain them until everything in the courts from the inheritance endowment they were due to receive from the Mother Superior’s estate of her late husband had passed through the legalities involved in three countries jurisdiction.
  • Join a Survey Service
    I love my e-mail, I keep getting invitations to do nothing but take a survey and make a ton of money for every question I answer, only minutes involved, a few questions and I can earn credit to the great offers that they have available throught their partner sites and I can buy anything on offer from diapers (I wish my son was 30 years younger) to free computers (I wish I knew before I bought this one) and the only thing I have to do is fill out more survey’s and answer a few more questions and get more credits in order to qualify to get on the mailing list of the original suveryor for more great offers. I should be able to get cash for all my efforts by 2020 then I can pay for the diapers and computer from the survery I just took!
  • Buy into an MLM
    Now I’m not really sure what MLM stands for. It could be Many Liars Multiplying, Multi Lingual Marauders, My Life Mangled, but I hear that these are the best thing going. All I have to do is buy into this one MLM and my downline will pay me everytime someone else joins their downline and the more my downlines sell more downlines the more money I will make for my upline and since I have a downline I should make money from my downline and pay it to my upline from my downline or something like that. But it sounds like a good deal if I send my upline $49.95  and I make $.05 from each of my signups to my downline I could make lots of cash.
  • Procrastinate
    I am in the middle of writing an e-book about one of the most searched for terms on my blog and I know it is popular because it comes up every day and it is something that people are looking for and I know they would pay good money for the full low down and the ins and outs on the subject. I am in the middle of writing the book, but I have to mow the lawn and fix the leaky faucet and look up my great grandfathers lineage since he went back to the old counrty. Maybe tomorrow or the next day I can get back to finishing the third chapter of the book people will still be looking for it next month or the month after.
  • Game the System
    Ok, I never really tried to do this. Buy an e-mail list and send spammy promotions to things that sound so outrageious that even a kid wouldn’t fall for it (but some adults would), spam so may websites (and get paid for each spam comment) that I used up my whole day and actually thought of buying a spambot just to kick up my commissions a notch and spend more money than I had just for the purchace (that’s Ok, they take credit cards too) in order to make enough to support that Nigerian Nun.
  • Use Friends and Family
    In the way back times when I sold insurance they wanted me to call every friend and family member to try to convert them to our brand of insurance for cars, houses, injury and even life and I found some schemes that were so easy all I had to do was contact those same people and ask them to join in my newest venture that would only cost them a couple of bucks and the return would be so great they would want to put me in their will as thanks, Guranteed. I would only pay a downpayment for the service and then collect all the money from friends and family and it would all be mine, less their 25% commission and annual fee of 50% of first payments by my connections.
  • Look for the Quick Buck
    I have tried to find ways to make money online and offline with as little effort as possible, I probably put as much effort into looking for the easy way out as I have in actually trying to make an honest buck. The thing is, now matter how hard I try, there is no way to make something for nothing.

Working hard and keeping your nose to the grindstone is really the only road to success. So, don’t try some of the schemes I have seen first hand and try to do things the easy way. The True road to success is paved with the sweat of your brow.

How about you, have you tried anything like the above examples? Succeed? Fail? Got any good examples you encountered?
