But you miss Terry's point, to say that sounds good and I am going to put it in my notes or something says that he thinks it fits him without ever applying it or testing it. 80% of us have a workable plan/system, some better than others. It is all right to use another's work but only after you have looked it up one side and down the other. It has to fit what you are going to apply it to, it has to fit YOU. The smart person that sees something here or in a book will test it, study it, and see if this makes sense to what he wants. The person who wants a finished system laid in his hands will take a good system or idea and use it and abuse it. Then they will complain they didn't make money with it. The net has many of this type out there. They just want to get their bottom line. These types are best served by those that sell systems and seminars. The results will be the same failure in the big picture but they can blame the person who took their money. They can write their senators, they can join class action suits. It was somebody else's fault. The system that X mentioned lost my money. They think someone should do something about it. We are told by them, it is not hard work to do it right. It is simple. It is simple and easy to lose money, but it is time consuming and work even if you enjoy it. There is no right way but there are good and bad ways. It is the person's choice not mine or anyone else's.
