I see a big time famous motivational guy is going to be in the New York area soon. For just $2,985 you can get a Diamond Club ticket for four sessions of motivation. The promotional lit stated that these top dollar seats will be up closest to the stage where you are most likely to be noticed by, and to get to interact with the famous man. For around $1,600 you can get nosebleed seats where you are most likely to get noticed by, and interact with the hot dog vendor. Some audience members are going to learn to fire walk. Let's assume the trainee fire walkers will be volunteers, that they're not random attendees forced to the stage at gunpoint. Did you do the math? Let's say the average ticket is $2,000. The arena holds 18,000 people. That's $36 million in revenue. Of course there are expenses--the motivational guy is going to have to pay for the charcoal in the firepit, fire extinguishers, some Dr. Scholl's foot powder, stuff like that. Need Motivation? I've got your motivation right here! Price: $6.99. That leaves a $2,977 surplus from the alternative. No fire walking recommended by me, I'd suggest you use the leftover cash to buy a pair of Skechers and maybe an eBike. Or you could go on a cruise. What's that you ask? Motivation for just $6.99? Yup. My book: The Circle of Awareness makes fun of the Self Help industrial complex, but in the end provides wonderful motivation. Be entertained while you get the motivation of a lifetime! True tidbit from The Circle of Awareness: The first Self-Help book was titled Self-Help, written by Samuel Smiles. No kidding! Everybody, ninety percent of all people, are telling me that The Circle of Awareness has changed their lives. Take my word for it. Have I ever lied to you before? A criticism of traditional motivation is that it's fine, but temporary. People might leave the motivational venue with the best of intentions to, for example, lose weight. But it's a long drive home, I'll just stop at McDonalds and begin the diet and exercise plan tomorrow. And my feet hurt so much from that bleepin' fire walk that I deserve a large shake and fries. Maybe a Big Mac. The Circle of Awareness book is something you can keep and refer to time after time. You may want one copy for home, and another for the office. If you're really intent on spending $2,985 on motivation, how about 426 copies of The Circle of Awareness? Free shipping, and I'll throw in some collector's edition Book Marks. I'll even do a Zoom call with you and your unmotivated friends. ![]() Pictured here: one of the thousands of people whose life was changed by The Circle of Awareness.

I can’t even believe what people charge other people for and how they make money. And they will say it like $1000 is nothing for a course on editing or whatever. lol. The biggest scam that will come out one day… is ancestry DNA testing. I think it’s a total scam. They can tell you anything, how are you gonna prove them wrong? And look at all the people that paid for it?! Hahaha One of the biggest fad scams ever.
