You’ve Been Ripped Off Again (This Time By A Crack Head)

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Have you been ripped off lately? I have and
if you follow along I’ll share all the
gruesome details so this never happens to
you.

Now, before I tell you what I’m about to tell
you understand I’m telling you this for two
reason.

First, I got a couple posts by people scared
to death about being ripped off, so I want to
open a open debate on the topic. (So make sure
you leave your gut reactions after reading.)

Second, I want you to bear in mind this story
that I’m about share with you, probably isn’t
PG, and it’s coming from a guy who’s spent
$300,000 plus or minus $30,000 on information
to make over $3,000,0000 (So it comes with
a fair amount of perspective on the situation
at hand.)

So let’s get to it.

After reading the comments on the blog here
about people scared to death about being
ripped off I was forced to ask myself “What
is getting ripped off anyways?”

Let me know if you think this is getting
ripped off, or if I’m way off base here:

A few years back as a naïve young man I decided
to begin my wealth building adventure in real
estate.

I saved my money and joined a special program
here in DC to help first time home buyers get
into their first property with only $5,000
down.

After going through the program for a year I
had saved my money and found a perfect little
four unit apartment building to start my
empire.

I still own this property to this day. Now to
the rip off part . . .

In the time that I’ve owned that property
I’ve unknowingly rented units to 3 separate
crack heads.

Now, before you call me stupid (I’ll agree
with you - I’m a little too trusting), but
let me tell you this from first hand
experience, a crack head doesn’t always come
out and just tell you they smoke rocks right
off the back.

They’re kinda sneaky.

As you would imagine, you’ve got to find out
the hard way. For me, I always think the best
of people and will deny what may appear as
less than savory.

I found out when they stopped paying rent. In
each case I ended up spending more than
$5,000 to repair the situation and spent
months trying to get them out of my property.

You’d think you’re state government would be
on your side in these issues, but alas they
are not.

Anyways . . .

Each time I rented to a crack head I felt
betrayed. I felt ripped off by them and laws
pertaining to renters rights and my stance on
the other side, but . . .

I rented to crack heads whether I knew it or
not. On some level it was always my fault for this.

So who’s to blame but dumb old me right?

Now, I’ve bought tons information products,
and my results in network marketing and
online have been far better than my real
estate adventures, and I’ve bought things
that turned out to be less than promised, but
was I ripped off?

I always come back to the idea that at the
end of the day I bought what I bought. I did
it. And had I not and continued on I wouldn’t
have the experience that I have now which I
wouldn’t trade for the world.

Have I taken a few knocks in network
marketing and online? Sure. We all do.

But my questions to you are . . .

Is that worth putting up an wall of fear
to blunt your future success?

Is buying a product online that promises
results and then you don’t get the exact same
results the person in the testimonial got
being ripped off?

Is allowing yourself to be sold into something
you shouldn’t have in retrospect being ripped
off?

What is being ripped off really?

And why are so many people so scared?

If you buy something that doesn’t make
you instantly rich by putting your credit
card on the line does that mean you’re getting
ripped off?

If so? I’ve been ripped off more than anyone
I know, but I still seemed to keep falling for
it, and for some reason my business keeps
growing.

What are your thoughts? I’d like to know what
you think?
