Shhh! Let me tell you one dirty little trick that will burn every ounce of fat off your body, make you a billionaire, and guarantee you a spot in the afterlife of your choice.

Are you ready for it? Nah, you aren't ready yet. But what if I told you that somewhere behind a paywall there is the most amazing thing you don't even know you need?

What if for just one tiny payment of "way more than it's worth" you could get the love of your life back, the career of your Dreams , and a BRAND NEW car?

Wow, that sounds awesome. I bet you are interested now. So here is the secret.

There is no secret. If something seems too amazing then it probably is.

An why wouldn't it be. Think about it.

It took four years of college to amass all of that student loan debt.

It took a multitude of beer drinking, cheeseburger eating, and pizza binging to grow that lovely large belly.

So why would you believe an advertisement is going to magically make all of your long time festering problems disappear?

Why? Because we all want a quick fix. We want a mysterious genie to come out of a lamp and grant our greatest desires. We want the winds of destiny to blow the winning lottery ticket into our grubby mitts.

We want the fairy tale. No. We DEMAND the fairy tale.

Which is too dang bad.

Almost everything worth doing or having takes a combination of hard work, dedication, skill, and very often a bit of luck.

There are very few overnight success stories, and even those will typically have a protagonist that worked hard to have the right skill set at the right time.
