Awesome comment man! You penned my exact sentiments to the whole scenario and did it quite well I might add :) It's so true that you never really get anything new, but ... "same old hash, mixed with ketchup" ... that's just an awesome way of putting it LOL! Thanks so much for your comments Mitch Hey Mitch.

Thanks again for your comments and for stopping by. Awesome Hey Julius,

You bring up a great irony of online marketing. You need to focus on the task at hand to get things done but you need the distractions in order to get the information in the first place. I give up! Thanks for commenting Matthew Hey Matthew,

I love that idea of not opening any more browser windows! That gives me a great idea for a post, I just thought of another analogy...not that I'm a fan of them or anything. :) Thanks for stopping by as you always find time to do Mark, respect. Hey Mark!

I rationalized crashing upon the shoals as "spending money to make money", "getting booked up" and "emulating the pros". I like your definitions and metaphor much better, Alex. The biggest problem I had with the Sirens is that, besides sounding good, they were deliberately hypnotic (remember all the mumbo-jumbo by Joe Vitale and neuro-linguistic programming?) but also deliberately vague. The materials always had earnings disclaimers and what I called "commonsense disclaimers." You know what those are: *This won't work if you don't take action! *This is not a get-rich-quick scheme! The stuff was only rarely ground-breaking. Most of the time, it was just the same old hash, mixed with ketchup. In my opinion, you only learn from your burns; all the admonishments in the world can't protect someone from being led astray. Thanks for sharing your story. Full Speed Ahead! :) Cheers, Mitch How ’bout that? I rationalized crashing upon the shoals as “spending money to make money”, “getting booked up” and “emulating the pros”.
