You're not being too skeptical; you're being smart. Here's something I learned through agribusiness (growing up in a farming-and-ranching
rural area probably qualifies) while in primary and secondary school is that some people really
are *
others*-oriented, enjoy helping other people, and find it rewarding in-and-of itself.
Thanks for being honest about being uncertain if you would tell everyone else were you in "a real money maker" and were making money off of it. How many people would pause long enough to ask
themselves that question?
For someone who was raised doing business face-to-face and "advertising" through word-of-mouth, the web contradicts that entire thought process. It takes away the "Hey, Frank. I've got 75 head of yearling heifers (female cattle that never had a calf) that are springing (pregnant). You know anyone who might be interested?" for an example. Frank
might use the web or might
not. What if there might be a buyer in Helena (Montana) looking for 25 or so, another in Lamar (Colorado) interested in 15, and someone in Witchita Falls (Texas) needing 35 but the seller is in Moscow (Kansas)? Around Amarillo, Texas, Frank might do pretty good advertising over the internet, which might help to explain why there was such a strong reaction to a comment made about beef. There's a lot of beef (real money making) in agribusiness, but it depends on the person.
There's a web-based program that has a lot of
real money-making potential, which many people who I know up here in Oklahoma City who
want to share this program with as many people as possible because they know what this program can do
for people, but it's not really the real money making potential that motivates them. One man was on the verge of filing bankruptcy due to debt when he was shown this program, and it helped
him so much that he
wants to help others, too. I looked at the same program and knew
what I saw when I saw it, and I was still skeptical about the program. It works, and I've thrown everything I know from
inside the mortgage banking business against this program.
But I still wanted
other people who I do know and
know I can trust to help me analyze the program further.
Again, you're
not being too skeptical; you're being smart.
