Except from J.Chin:
Imagine you paid $250 a ticket to an event.
You go there and sit down, one among maybe 100 or 200 people there. There is a buzz in the air, people are curious about what they’ll hear. Everyone is excited!
A man walks on stage wearing flip flops and torn sweatshirt and old sweat pants.
He clearly needs to comb his hair and shave.
It doesn’t matter. You are there to get motivated! Yes, you are sitting that close – because you paid for VIP SEATING with $250, man!
Everyone calms down, stops squirming. The man is going to start. He says,
“Well here’s the deal, folks. Life is hard. It’s not fair. You can work like a dog and make big dreams and chances are, you aren’t going to succeed. In fact,you’d probably fail more often than you’d ever sniff the tail end of any success. You may even go bankrupt trying.
Your family and friends will think you’ve gone nuts and some may abandon you if they don’t commit you or try a group intervention. Your only source of strength may very well be your stubborn belief that you need to follow through with your crazy idea and maybe alcohol. Ask me how I know.
There is no magic bullet. There is no top 10 secrets to getting rich. Once you’ve solved your current problems you’ll be rewarded with a whole new set of harder problems. There is no easy lunch. No free lunch. No lady luck. No psychic who can tell you the winning lottery numbers.
That book I wrote? Well, that’s just my story and even I had to embellish it a bit or else you wouldn’t want to buy it, it would be way too boring. It’s all complicated. There are no easy answers. And frankly, all these things you already know, so I might as well bid you adieu right now.”
The man walks off. He has given you the cold hard truth.
Would you be happy for what you’ve gotten with your cold hard cash?
The reason why so many motivational speakers may appear to be (or indeed are) frauds is because there is a strong demand from an audience who want the illusion they sell.
The truth is painful.
No one wants to pay good money for Truth – they’re already living it.
