Well , I have been remiss lately as I haven’t made a post to this blog for two months. I bet you thought I had given up, thrown in the towel or maybe threw myself in front of a bus. In which case I would have to be writing this from my hospital bed. If you guessed none of the above, you would be absolutely correct, but I would bet you would never guess what I had been up to, or based on past posts in this blog, maybe you would.

I have, once again, thrown myself off the highest and nearest cliff, but since I live in South Jersey, I probably won’t suffer any fatal injuries. What I have been doing goes against all the lessons that I thought I had learned and have been writing about in my articles which reference my personal business philosophy/methodology I call ‘Tripodology’, and once again, I slipped back into my old habits and practices of throwing ‘stuff’ up against the wall and see what sticks, and as you might have guessed, at no small expense.

I was doing so well, not spending excessive amounts of money, quietly promoting my ‘main’ business, TriVita, on target, on a budget,  and focused, three of the most important disciplines to concentrate on when building a business, and then I started to backslide. My fall off the wagon really started with Michael Cheney’s Black Box, I now realize, that the total disappointment I felt over that sure fire, best bet in years, chance of a marketing lifetime, peek behind the curtain was a complete flop , at least it was for me. And to make matters worse, it was the trigger for what happened afterwards.

I started a series of desperate grabs for the brass ring of internet marketing lore, that once in a marketing lifetime chance to break down the walls of rejection and failure and grab that chance for success.

I know it was wrong, but  like most internet marketing junkies, I could not stop myself. Every time I pressed the ‘Buy Now’ button, I knew I should not do it, but I did it anyway. I always convinced myself that I would just take a look and get the refund before the 30-day trial period was over. Thirty days goes by awfully fast when you are busy looking at emails all the time, which always offer a better chance for success then the opportunity you have in front of you. But maybe, just maybe I got lucky this time, I have three different but complementary marketing methodologies concentrating on PPC and PPV that I am currently learning to use. None of which I would call a bargain, but if it’s for real, it probably won’t , nobody in their right mind is going to hand you the keys to a lucrative business for $197.00, it would be too good to be true and it always is.

Stay tuned, if even one of these programs turn out to be the ‘Real McCoy’ and work for me, it would have been worth the struggle and I will be sure to pass the opportunity on to you.
