250 Miiiiillion Dollars (believe it or not this post has to do with weight loss)
$250,000,000.00 is a lot of dough.
That's the amount of money companies are making
peddling weight loss suppleme...err... scams.
You may have fallen victim to them by handing over
your money. The weight loss results they tout
are staggering. 40 pounds in 30 days, Joe Blow
loses 150 pounds, and many other similar results.
There marketing is very good. Shady at best.
But still good.
25 mil was revenue from ONE company! A
few days ago the FTC filed complaints on 10 other
operations just like it.
Which puts it in the HUNDREDS of millions.
The saddest part; the crap they sell doesn't even
work.
Solve the worlds weight problem and you should get
a BIG check. Sell snake oil and you should go
to jail.
Try as we may, we can't redefine ourselves
overnight. That's too easy. If that worked then
all of the late night infomercials and fitness
dvd's would work.
But you CAN redefine yourself steadily, over time.
A very successful client of mine sold his
business for millions of dollars a few years back.
An article in the paper dubbed him as an overnight
success story. After talking with him, he said the
article gave him a chuckle because in reality they
were "a 10 year overnight success."
That statement made me think. It opened my eyes
that as much as we might see overnight successes
or hear about 30 day weight loss stories, the
reality is it takes steady, constant, and yes,
disciplined action.
Read that sentence again.
It takes steady, constant, disciplined action.
Let it soak in.
Because until you buy into that you will continue
to search, try, and fail at whatever it is you want to do. And waste a lot of money in the process.
STOP believing in crap. Start accepting diet
and exercise does it.
To your weight loss success,
Tim
