600,000 people losing their jobs, and the dream of Entrepreneurship

Yesterday I heard an interesting statistic that jobs are being lost at a clip of 600,000 per month…

AND new businesses are being started at exactly the same rate: about 600,000 per month.

Uncle Sam is not going to save anybody’s bacon, despite all the claims to the contrary. There are a lot of dying industries in America and all the duct tape and bailing wire in the world won’t save ‘em.

You know what’s going to save peoples’ bacon? Entrepreneurs who figure out better ways to get things done, to leverage technology, to find eager buyers for both the innovative and the mundane.

Right now, TONS of people are pouring into the Business Opportunity world. The future will never be the same, because of this.

I have to make an admission: I generally avoid working with brand-new, starry-eyed people who haven’t quite figured out what they want to do. That is really messy and there are SO many things they need to know.

It’s not because I don’t care or because I don’t understand what it’s like. It’s just messy. They don’t know what they don’t know.

Also, I’ve found that most “newbies” aren’t really ready to listen anyway. Not until they’ve been “had” by a few flim-flam men and lost their ass on a few “great ideas.”

But… once they’re ready to listen, I can speed them past a lot of pain, agony and suffering. It’s not like there’s some law that says starting a business has to be an exercise in sado-masochism.

Yet for all these reasons I’ve never put together a “How to start a business online” general A to Z product. I was always sort of waiting for somebody else to do that.

Well somebody DID finally make that product, the way I think it SHOULD be made. Telling the truth as it SHOULD be told.

This course is not for the guy who salivates over the magazine ad with the picture of the guy with his foot on the bumper of the Mercedes and a Rolex Watch in front of a McMansion. The one that promises a Magic Carpet ride on the Royal Road to Riches.

No, it’s for the guy who has started a real business selling a real product or service, knows it’s going to take dreaming and scheming and sweating and slogging and wants to get on to making maximum money in minimum time.

It’s Glenn Livingston and Terry Dean’s A to Z Blueprint.

A few weeks ago I invited people who had bought this course to post their comments on my blog. A bunch of people did reply and I’d like you to see what they had to say. Nothing has been censored or deleted here:
