A Different Perspective

Copyright © Godfrey Thaxterhttp://www.GeneticDietarySupplement.com

Hey My Friends,

This might not have anything to do with nutrition or genetics or supplement for that matter, but I see it as very important to what we are about, so I just have to share it with you.

I got an email just this morning from a prominent leader in the internet marketing arena. This guy is like a who's who when it comes to creating products, systems and his ability to provide value to his subscribers. Wish we had more people like him online!

What really caught my attention in his post was because he mentioned a little trick that a guru was recommending to others. Now I'm pretty sure most people get into this business to make money; however, many of us, I hope, have a high moral standard and will not stoop to underhand tactics just to make a sale.

The point in question was a reference to a certain guru's "bad news" subject line email strategy. Now I'm not here to analyze or blast his tactics, although to me it is deceptive and hits below the belt!

As someone who is basically new to the industry, it just boggles my mind to see how low some of the “so-called” gurus will stoop to make sales. Not that I’m trying to hit out at this guy's ideas here, but it’s like more and more of the top income earners are resorting to underhand tactics to make sales, which in my humble opinion leads to a mis-guided philosophy, especially for newbies.

When gurus and top income earners in our industry have to resort to underhand tactics, it just goes against the foundational principles of leadership -- and we who are low down on the totem pole sometimes wonder, what's next!

As my respected guru mentioned, when someone has built a huge list or has a large following, care should be taken about what is passed on. When a guru teaches something — it starts a movement, so the end result is going to be whether or not the original message was negative or positive.

Now getting online as a new person, we are all looking for guidance — and not many of us are fortunate enough to come across genuine leadership, at least not right away.

Most of us end up getting caught up into the quagmire of underhand and sometimes devious marketing practices — and even the ones who have the right attitude towards achieving their objectives, suffer along the way — mainly because of mis-guided
teachings and insights.

I think a lot of top income earners are not ready for the challenge of leadership. Some of them might have gotten lucky, or came into this industry with a lot of cash and/or internet techno knowledge -- and buy their way to the top without paying the price of true leadership development –- and we as newbies suffer for it.

Just wish more of the “so-called” gurus would adhere to the plight of newbies, not just to line their already fat pockets, but to provide genuine servant/leadership guidance to the ones who need it most.

That's my opinion!

Thanks for reading.
