I just have to get this off of my chest...

Folks,

For anyone who reads this blog, please understand, there's no such thing as a way to get rich quick.

Why to I bring this up? Because there's an ad playing lately on a station I sometimes listen to that has a guy with an Australian accent (not important, but if you've heard the ad, this will help identify it) saying that he bought his first income producing real estate property at 17 "without a penny to my name", and has subsequently "made millions" in real estate.

And how he wants to sell you his "proven system" to become "really rich" in real estate.

Folks, if you ever felt tempted to fall for one of these things, think about these things. If his system really works, why would he sell it to you?

If he's really rich from this system, then why does he need MORE money? And if it works so well, why would he want to set up other people to compete with him?

More likely, he's got some half-assed theory about how it SHOULD work, was never able to make it work for himself, and so now his "get rich quick" scheme is to get YOU to pay HIM to tell you how he wants you to believe it would work.

I don't know why I'm bothering to write this, I'm pretty certain the people who read this blog are intelligent enough not to fall for these things. But the sad thing is, they wouldn't try these tactics if there weren't people falling for them in droves.

Don't let it be you.

Liam.
