Let’s try to dwell into some aspects of sales and see how it correlates to the previous discussion on free will. In this idea we’d like to see how the person actually falls into the premonition to jump into the deal which he might later on regret going into. While no gun is pointed on your head, some of these deals would actually make you realize that you would have been better off with that bullet instead.

Let’s review a simple process discussed in the past; the world is governed by cause and effect. The method of it going from cause and effect is process. Process involves weighing the best solutions on the given problem based on knowledge, which is based on experience extemporaneous and external, external would come from stories, theories, and discussions. End of the day, you would realize that for some deals you didn’t actually decide on the solution, they did it for you.

The usual pattern is to know what the person is in need of, the stress factor and gaps in the person’s current period needing to be filled. Typically, the best market is hope. This is the main reason why Multi Level Marketing and plans work. To be quite frank, I do find the rates on these plans to be pathetic. Let’s face it, Anything lower than the hurdle rate is just as bad as putting the money in savings.

People have gaps in life that needs to be filled, this is their immediate concern or priority. The typical ideas are both fear of death and money. Others would also come in but the first two are in the more general perspective. Religions and MLMs sell hope. Even other deals with ridiculous rates sell hopes. It is not that we are lazy, but we would rather do something with the least effort needed, in short, higher efficiency, it is the rule of nature.

During the discussions on money matters, many deals are being discussed with only the pro’s of the item in topic. For this matter, we are only told the size of the market, the potential size, and how much we may earn. At the height of all emotions, we tend to actually forget the whole concept of looking at the negatives. It is extremely important for us to also stop focusing on the end result of the optimistic episode and look into the process proper.

While dreams may be the motivational factor in reaching for the stars, we have to actually visualize what vehicle we will need and how we will be able to obtain such. Without taking this into consideration, chances are, we will lose all effort in actually trying to achieve the goal.

But while some processes are difficult, others are just impossible. Multi Level Marketing actually scams people into the whole “amoeba episode” in exponentiation of growth. Through the simple use of math, we do realize that at some point each and every person on Earth is a member of the system. Even worse, how do you convince the latter that there is chance for growth when they’re the last non-members? It is impossible and practically stupid. But how do we fall to that trap when we ourselves know it is ridiculous? Too much pro’s over con’s. Emotions, greed, and the simpler way of doing things actually get into the way.

But this is not only about Multi Level Marketing, or stocks. But this is for all items and investments in general. If we take into consideration investment deals brought up to us, do we actually do some research on what we might get into? The instinct or drive to get into something is not just gut feel, successful people have observed some particular ideas or items we might have not in taking the deal into consideration. Some aspects would be the changes observed in the place during a certain period of time, or the current market sentiment. We actually have to know something about what we are getting into before jumping in. We have to do our own research and not take the seller’s word for it.

Some possible ways to cure this would be to first postpone the decision making to at least 2 days from when you heard the talk, this way, you could actually forget about the talk and remember the facts. Emotions would be erased the next morning and due diligence can take over and research on the project. If you are actually forced into making the decision on the spot, remember that end of the day you are still the boss and you can say wait.

Really old stuff
This stuff, like the rest of the stuff below, are at least three years old. No editing was done, which means that whatever I have learned by now can either enhance this belief or destroy it
