[quote=flu]You know. People like to focus on on the success stories. But reality is we never hear about the countless failures. Because, well they failed.[/quote]
This is what all of these real estate investment program scams are built on. They cherry pick the winners as examples of what everyone should be doing when, in fact, these are the handful of successful folks following their program. The “countless failures” remain conveniently outside of the camera’s view.
Likewise, it’s why everyone should be very suspicious of books by successful people who basically say, “This is how I did it – You can too!” They’ve bought into their own success story, after all. Most would be better off reading a book called, “The 100 Ways I Failed” and learning from that before accelerating off into the sunset looking for “success”.
