If It Seems Too Good To Be True… It Probably Is
The weight loss/fitness/baby boomer/etc. industry is one of the *profitable* marketplaces any business can get into.
The audience is filled with people who want quick fixes….
… who don’t want to put in the effort that becoming fit truly requires….
… who are always looking for the next shiny object to help them sneeze off the pounds.
And you know what I have to say that?
That’s okay. I don’t judge.
Just about everyone has been tempted by the quick fix. You’ve seen the informericals:
- “This person lose 20 pounds in 21 days!”
and probably missed the fine type of
- “Results not typical. Person also exercised 89789 hours each day and ate less food than a fossilized clam requires to stay alive.”
Maddening it is!
However… if that’s what the public wants… that’s what the public gets.
It’s up to YOU to become an educated consumer and understand what’s really being hawked on TV and online.
Which brings me to the next rather critical point:
What Exposes Can Mean To You
So what can it mean to you?
If you spend hundreds of dollars on diet pills and supplements and fitness machinery and gold-plated Ab Rollers and don’t see the results promised….
You own that BUT!
If you never were shown how to research before… that’s okay.
Heck, I even tried diet pills myself (I mean, how can you NOT be enthralled – the promise of losing weight by simply popping a teeny tiny pill!).
Needless to say…
It didn’t work.
But it was something I HAD to try… even though I knew logically, it wouldn’t work.
Some things you cannot teach… some things you have to experience to really believe.
Thus, exposes can mean blowing away the smoke…. and cracking all the mirrors….
And learning what really CAN work…
… and what is simply just trying to vacuum up as much money from you as possible.
Again, remember…
Here at the Virtual Coach – we don’t judge you.
And even if *we* particularly think something is a scam….
We’ll still give you the option to purchase it.
An educated consumer is the best customer… and that’s what we’re here to show you!
Speaking of educated consumers (and not), let’s also discuss:
What Diet/Fitness/Food Exposes Can Mean To Others
“Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah We’re not listening to you!”
That about covers it.
Seriously… lots of people are quite adamant that their particular weight loss or get fit or get confidence method etc. is more pure than the pristine fresh driven snow after a moonlit night of faeries dancing with elves.
It happens. I mean, check out the folks who adore FoodBabe or Dr. Oz etc…..
They simply will NOT see any other point of view.
Which is fine, because they have been brainwashed by those particular messages.
They own that.
You do not.
So instead of focusing on what other people SAY, focus instead on what you *learn*.
In a nutshell…..
Screw others.
