I am beginning to think I am just no good in starting or running my own business. But I am not losing any hope. I know that as long as I live, I will one day be successful too. So I continue to keep looking for ways, for gurus, for articles ... anything that will give me that "a-ha" moment and hopefully turn my business ventures to success.
So yesterday, I came across a Facebook ad that got my attention -- "How My 9 Year Old Daughter Built A $6,000 Per Month eCommerce Business in 29 Days". I clicked and it instantly took me to a webinar page to register so I could listen to Paul Bocco (the guru who would finally save my life) talk about his daughter earning $6000 a month! It is FREE and he just needed my email address. So I entered my email address that gets brutally spammed every second of the day by so many gurus I subscribed to for the past few years. I thought, "Wow! This might be the answer to my prayer."
And so the webinar started -- everything he said seemed promising. I learned another new thing or two that weren't mentioned by the previous gurus I listened to. He talked about dropshipping, Shopify, and Facebook ads, which I've heard so many times. I kept hoping that I would learn something new to get my number of sales skyrocket for the first time. But then the end finally came with no new info, and of course, there was another button that popped up for me to schedule a time with him or his associate to have a FREE Breakthrough Strategy Session. He said that this is FREE because he wants nothing but to see us succeed like his 9-year old daughter and others he mentored. Finally, someone that's not after my almost depleted bank account due to 17-years of unsuccessful business ventures. Finally, someone that will help me fill that bank account back up. So I scheduled my appointment for this Thursday, 10/06/2016 at 12:30 PM -- my lunch break from work. After setting up the schedule, I was sent to a page where it asked me several questions so they can gauge how to help them help me. I answered the questions, including telling them my unsuccessful effort of starting my businesses online for 17 years. Then the last two questions came and they were asking me that if I could get out of my rotty situation by paying $1000, would I do it? The choices of answers were somewhat catchy (just a paraphrase): 1.) Yes, I will do it. Because I'm tired of my situation. 2.) No, I will not do it. I just want to stay where I am at. What?!? What about -- No, I will not do it. But I really want to get out of my rotty situation? But that was not one of the choices. Needless to say, I selected "No" and click submit.
After that, I searched online (which I should've done earlier) and learned that Paul Bocco is selling some type of a process or a software (not sure what it is) called eStore Incubator. There is not a lot of information on this website except to attend his webinar where he would show people how his 9-year old daughter earn $6000 a month which then would take them to the process I went through. So I thought that it would be okay to talk to him or his associates--after all, he said it's FREE because he genuinely wants to help us. If at some point he starts mentioning about his incubator, and I'm sure I will be given an option to buy or not, I'll just let them know that I can't afford it yet. So that was it. I can't wait till Thursday.
Meanwhile, I continued to do my research and found out that the domain estoreincubator.com is a newly bought domain from Go Daddy. It was registered on May 2016, only five months ago. Hmmm. Should I trust him or should I not? Well, I'll give him a chance. He said it's FREE because he wants to help. So okay, I'll take that bait for now.
Then at 4:32 pm, I got an email saying that my appointment with him was cancelled. That they have reviewed my application and that they feel that their program would not be the right fit for my business. Really? Ha ha. Well, I know that's not the reason why they cancelled my appointment. They already screened me and deemed me to be very poor to afford their "incubator" program. But to their credit, they left me a link to go to on YouTube that they think would help me and my businesses. And they are right! The link to this webinar, presented by a man named Mohamed, is 4-hour long and very detailed. Mohamed would just continue to give helpful insights and advises that he was already losing his voice. The people who attended his webinar were so floored by his non-selfish attitude to give out as much as information he could and gave their money's worth and then some. When someone was concerned that he might ran out of time and not cover some information he promised, he told them not to worry and that he would spend as much as 5 hours or so, to get to all the topics. So thank you Paul for screening me out and providing me this link. You are indeed the answer to my prayer! Well ... actually "Mo" is.
