The One Real Way to Earn Money Quick
And one real way to lose all of it quick
The one real way
That people earn money
Real quick
Is to tap into
Your fundamental fear
Of scarcity.
***
They tap into
Your insecurities,
Your fears about
What’s not enough,
Whether that’s
Not having enough to put food on the table
Not being pretty enough
Not successful enough
Not knowledgable enough
Not liked or accepted enough
***
It taps into
That lizard brain
The one that’s excitable and passionate and fearful and quick
The one that makes snap judgments on little info
The one that misses the signs that are telling you
Actually, this isn’t right for you.
***
The best way to lose money quick
Is to fall into their trap.

This poem is a PSA;
***
I want you to leave with just
these questions:
If they really became rich doing something,
Why are they charging billions of dollars to teach you their secret?
***
If you choose to try them out:
Continually evaluate,
Are they giving you lessons of value,
Or are they giving you generic advice that you can Google,
Promising more tailored lessons at ever-increasing rungs of the ladder?
