Your neighbor's vision is as true for him as your own vision is true for you.

http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/vision_5.html#ixzz1OefG7HIb For any individual, group, community or nation to succeed, a vision is necessary. This is particularly true for online marketers. To truly succeed in promoting a Biz-Op or program an online or affiliate marketer must embrace the vision of success given by that Biz-Op or program. The problem is everybody doesn't see the same vision or possibilities. As the above quote implies, "one man's meat is another man's poison". There are many programs out there that I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole but there are many who succeed very well with those same programs. Should I label that Biz-Op or program as a "scam" because I don't like it, I couldn't make any money with it, or it doesn't appear to me to be within the legal framework of what the government has defined as a pyramid or ponzi scheme? Since I am not the government, I will let the government do the job of dealing with pyramid and ponzi schemes. (In my opinion the government has it's own ponzi scheme, Social Security) Every Biz-Op and program is not meant to be long lasting but rather quick money. Most cyclers are designed for quick money because the more that join the cycler the less money is made or the slower the money is made. Does that make such a program a "scam"? If you have the correct vision of making some quick and significant income then it isn't a "scam". In fact there are businesses and programs that offer real products and services that are really "scams" and fraudulent. My vision is not your vision, my success is not your success, my failure is not your failure, something called individual freedom and responsibility I think. I will not censor the vision of my fellow online marketers because there is plenty of room for us all to succeed in online marketing, as I see it.

Hey Roosevelt,
Amazing article and very laid back, I loved your writing style AND your thoughts!
However I want to share a little story for you, hope I can make it brief (although I never succeed):
I was heavily involved with traffic exchanges and I got into an A-team of surfers, we were always number one, I upgraded and earned a lot of friends and met really cool entrepreneurs, however I also met one very nasty scammer.
He did not openly accepted he was ripping off people and the gu

I said "almost" wanted to attack. But I did not! YEA, I'm a positive person! Thanks for the corrective criticism you guys, I guess I was having a moment.....lol
I believe there is good in every program, even if some people don't see it. Carry on Roosevelt!
Cheers!

Roosevelt has done it well in his article.I agree with this I quote,"My vision is not your vision, my success is not your success, my failure is not your failure," everyone is very unique and different.

Roosevelt, there will always be critics out there, but if you know what you want and the steps you need to take to bring that vision into reality, it will not matter!

Hey, Liz,, we appreciate you sharing your thoughts and feelings but don't go in the "attack" mode, Cow Girl! That's what wrong with Congress today. We can have a civil debate without personal attacks or name calling. We can all "agree to disagree" in a healthful debate. Like Sean said in one of the above comments," All that said each of us is unique and we all have the free will to follow our own path and learn from the many mistakes we may make along the way". Amen to that!

Can I "attack" your comment, Elizabeth?
First, here's a bunch of smiles. :) :) ;)
Next, a million thanks for the heartwarming comment
Finally, something a successful Internet marketer keeps telling me: "the naysayers, it's part of networking. Ignore the negatives, let's build our business" :)
It is easy to criticize when you are not successful or all you offer are free things. When comes the time to sell, it's a whole new ball game, and when things start to work for you, naysayers wi

I have read a few articles this morning. One of them almost persuaded me to "attack". I am so tired of "others" downing what they don't like on the internet, being the 'negative nelly" in all they do, and trying to be "traffic cop" about all they see and come across. Some people just don't have the positive outlook, happiness, or desire to change to have anything more than what they already have.
Sometimes its not their fault, "their negativety" because of "what they've had in their life" - T

You are Welcome,Don. We all learn by trial and error, success and failure. Some people are so afraid of failure they condemn anything new and different. We only live once, Brother. Be kind, considerate and Go For It! LOL!

Roosevelt, Thank you for this article! I myself have many visions and in fact I bring some of them into question because someone else didn't like it or thought it was a scam because they didn't understand it. Well what if my vision is the next big thing? I find this in many comments from traditional marketers. Yes I call them "Traditional Marketers" I define this by them doing the same thing that they have been doing for years because it works for them, but if someone else is doing something som

Hey, Philippe, I'm sixty years old but the Little Boy full of Wonder and Joy Of Life is still alive and well within me. Jesus said "suffer the little children to come unto me, for of such is the Kingdom Of God". My opinion is just that, my opinion.

Well written piece, my friend, as always. You were called childish and irresponsible recently for giving your opinion about social security. Oh well...
As I'm not an expert in legal matters, and on many occasions, some programs fall into grey areas, I will consult my knowledgeable friends, if they say they are on the fence, most of the time, it just confirms the gut feeling I had.
