Weekend read(s): I'll use an easy trick and direct you to someone else's compiled weekend reads. Longreads and Open Thread, by Byrne Hobart, is a free, weekly link with 4-6 longreads and short book review. I enjoy reading usually at least one of the longer stories linked.

Excerpt:

"Jobs vary in how salesy they are, and, unfortunately, the purest sales job, where success is all about the pitch and gross margins are 100%, is running elaborate scams. Charlotte Cowles writes at length about how she was tricked into withdrawing $50,000 in cash, putting it in a shoebox, and handing it to a stranger. Feel free to read this one as a train wreck, but keep in mind that scammers would choose a different line of business if people reasonable enough to accumulate savings weren't also occasionally unreasonable enough to part with them based on a lie. As with many movies where the entire plot could be solved with a simple phone call, the story would have been a tweet and the $50,000 still would have been there if, the first time the author spoke to the fake CIA agent, she took down his name and number and then promptly hung up, Googled the CIA's phone number, called, and asked to be connected. Emails and incoming phone numbers can be spoofed, but if calling a government agency (or your bank, or the cops) still gets you redirected to scammers, then the problem is much bigger than somebody getting robbed."

Not everyone on LinkedIn is who they say they are.

Some are harmless of course making themselves appear more successful than they really are.

But there is also a growing number of more sinister people on here who don’t have your best interests on their agenda.

Do you really know who you’re dealing with?

There seems to be an increase in scammers/scams at the moment.

I’ve had a few dubious messages recently including supposed free pension reviews, free financial “health checks”, incredible “investment” opportunities and numerous “life coaching” introductory sessions to name a few.

Any background information available on some of these people is sketchy to say the least.

Some have a number of failed businesses in the background - not necessarily a bad thing I guess….

Keep your wits about you and do some background work.

Particularly if someone messages/calls you out of the blue with a great offer.

Carrying out some due diligence is still probably the most overlooked or undervalued activity in the business world.

When your guard is down you can get swept away with clever sales pitches.

With many free information sources available today it’s amazing and very concerning that many businesses and individuals still get caught out.

Before you do business with a business or an individual make sure you’ve done some background research on them.

Red flags such as;

👉no website,

👉poor or incoherent grammar in emails/messages

👉unsubstantiated claims of success/results,

👉previous failed businesses,

👉incredible 5 star reviews posted within a short time period

👉and no bricks and mortar address shouldn’t be dismissed lightly.

Don’t get caught out.

If it’s too good to be true it probably is!

Firstly, you develop a piece of content that's delivering value, you then use language that explains the content that appeals to the social identity.

They click out of this and then want to click to the next stage in the funnel, and it's just a process you take them through in the click funnel software, which appears just like a web page. Then you connect with them next at the core identity level, because you've gotten their attention here.

What you want to do is to have a conversation with them, so to speak, that is going to be best received by them. The way that you have those conversations is to discuss the empathetic level, at a social level. This is the core ID.

David: So there's fear of failing the exam.

Stephen: Correct. All the implications that come from failing the exam, and being able to describe to them in vernacular that resonates with them, that they can relate to that they can relate to you how you're relating to them. That is connecting at the core idea, because Frank Kern quite properly says that the way you sell stuff is you sell it from here, you don't sell it from here.

David: So if the buyer is the executive assistant or the PA to the boss, you don't want your boss failing. Because it's not gonna look good for him usually.

Stephen: Frank Kern talks about a concept called ‘’I am Bob’’. I'll show you ‘’I am Bob’’, that we’ve developed right now.

‘’I am Bob. I have problems. I'm 48 years old. I spent the last 10 years perfecting my professional skills and becoming really good at doing one thing. People respect my expertise. The problem is that I am stuck in a trap by making. The past few years I've made some pretty stupid business decisions, meaning three of my businesses have failed. I'm $100,000 in debt. And I'm pretty sure I'm virtually unemployable.

What's making it worse is up against some pretty stiff competition. So how can I catch people's attention? Show them that I'm good at what I do. I try to put on a happy face at the office. Everyone there is friendly and supportive, and they seem happy and successful. But that only makes me feel like a fraud.

There I am barely treading water, running out of energy to stay afloat. I’ve had a run-in with the tax office and dreading the next financial hit. I'm convinced it'll drag me under. Worst-case scenarios play a constant loop in my head. Things are no better at home. My monthly income isn't keeping up with our expenses. The school fees are overdue. The credit cards are already maxed out.

I’m exhausted. That self-critical voice in my head is telling me there's no way to dig myself out of this hole I've dug myself in. I’m paralyzed with fear. Of course, I guess what I'm really looking for is a quick-fix pill, a fairy godmother. But deep down inside, I know the same way as you do. That's nothing more than just wishful thinking.

Can You Trust Your Favorite Finance Guru? The "Finfluencer" Crackdown Heats Up!

Let's talk about something that's been brewing in the financial world lately: the rise (and potential fall?) of finfluencers.

We've all seen them - those charismatic social media stars doling out investment advice. But here's the thing, are they all qualified?

A recent case involving a finfluencer Bharti being asked by SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) to deposit a whopping ₹12 crores and subsequently banned has everyone questioning the accountability of these online financial gurus.

This isn't an isolated incident. Concerns about finfluencers have been swirling for a while now. Here's why we need a healthy dose of skepticism:

-Hidden agendas: Finfluencers might be pushing certain products or services for a hefty commission, not because they're the best fit for you.

-Oversimplified advice: Complex financial situations require nuanced solutions. A one-size-fits-all approach from a social media post just doesn't cut it. ❌

-Lack of qualifications: Not everyone with a microphone and a catchy tagline is a certified financial expert. Do your research! ️♀️

So, what does this mean for you? Here's the bottom line:

Financial decisions are personal. Don't blindly follow any influencer's advice. ✋

Do your research. Dig deeper! Look for credentials, track records, and a clear disclosure of any potential conflicts of interest.

Seek professional guidance. For complex financial decisions, consider consulting a registered advisor who can tailor a plan to your specific needs.

What are your thoughts on finfluencers? Have you ever followed their advice? Let's discuss in the comments!

P.S. Remember, financial literacy is key! There are tons of reputable resources out there to help you make informed decisions.
