    Alright... So after reading through all these comments, and having more than one person question my ethics, I started thinking "Is what I'm doing unethical?" And then I started having doubts. I started thinking, "Well, maybe it is stealing. Maybe I am being dishonest. Maybe the people on this...

    Note, with all do respect to MJ and Held for Ransom, please read my post in context. I don't advocate stealing content. I simply posted that in response to ChickenHawk's questioning of ethics. I won't steal and have strong ethics. That presented above is simply an idea for pure entertainment...

    NOTABLE! 
    Great thread! I need to focus on only one or two ideas right now, but appreciate your methods. Hopefully by the time I'm ready to launch my own sales team, you would have already sold and given more insight into the business. Keep up the great work. It's truly humbling.

    Hi guys! I've been reading through these forums and have found them to be tremendously helpful. However, I can't quite agree that writing your own books is "fastlane". Why? Well, if you leave your business, then it tanks. Unless you're a top-selling author (which from my understanding is...
