What did the bird say when he flew over the Internet?<\/p>\n
Cheap!<\/p>\n
Cheap!<\/p>\n
Cheap!<\/p>\n
I know… lame joke.<\/p>\n
But still a TRUE one.<\/p>\n
And while it’s fun finding really cool cheap and free stuff you need on the Internet, I’m thankful<\/em> I’ve had to pay for a lot of things that, if given free, would have sat on a shelf and never been used.<\/p>\n Like Gary Halbert’s “Boron Letters”, for example.<\/p>\n It’s free today.<\/p>\n But it wasn’t back in 2003 when I got it.<\/p>\n I was struggling a lot financially back then.<\/p>\n It STUNG<\/strong> dropping $97 on that book!<\/p>\n But I read that puppy cover to cover dozens of times… including writing the book out in my own handwriting. I STILL go through it once or twice per year, too. And I have probably gotten more profitable ideas and breakthroughs from that book than almost any other I’ve seen (definitely in my top 10 resources).<\/p>\n But you know what?<\/p>\n Today I wouldn’t get nearly as much value from it.<\/p>\n Because it’s free.<\/p>\n And what’s free is almost NEVER valued as much as that which we have to earn, buy or struggle for.<\/strong><\/p>\n Hey, you don’t have to like that.<\/p>\n And you can fight me on it all you want.<\/p>\n But that won’t stop it from being true.<\/p>\n
