The Value of Free

I just love the Flintstones... in fact I have many episodes burned into my memory.  The great Gazoo was one of my favorite characaters.  As a child, I can remember thinking how awesome it would be to have my own Great Gazoo.  As a student of the Science of Getting Rich, I now understand that I do!  He resides within me. 

But even my Great Gazoo is not free.  It takes real work to learn to put the Law of Attraction to work.  In learning and applying "the secrets" to creating abundance in our lives, we must put in incredible effort.  Wallace Wattles indicated in his book, "The Science of Getting Rich" that mental work is the hardest work we will ever do... which is why few actually do it!

In a SGR webinar last night 1000 people were polled on what holds them back, and an amazing percentage of people responded that they were unwilling to invest in themselves.  Even though they know that an investment of some description is required, and even though they know that making that investment could forever alter their lives, they remain unwilling to do it!  This is a real mystery to me.  What causes that?  A lack of belief in oneself?
 
So now I'm wondering... how valuable is something that costs you nothing?  It could be incredibly valuable, but what is the perceived value?  That is what really matters in marketing.  It seems that some people do not see any value in anything that is free.  It is a real catch 22 because many do not want to invest any money, but if you give them something for nothing, they tend not take it seriously. 

Personally, I believe that in order for you to take what you are doing seriously, you have to have something invested.  If it is not your money, then it needs to be your time or your "sweat".  A combination of all 3 will usually net the best results.

JMHO - What do you think?
