Deception and Desperation

article image placeholderUploaded by @iamatopodcast
I know every one of us really wants something from our life, but I don't think we should ever be in that situation where we are desperate because if I had gone through with it, I could have lost a whole lot of money in what is basically with a check fraud lesson is, yeah, times are tough

And the thing is also, I've noticed when I'm desperate or really wanting something or get very excited, then I'm less likely to, like you said, do my research, look online or just even take a moment to take a beat to be like, okay, what is actually being told to me here? What are they actually saying? What are they actually going to do? Yeah. So I feel like it's hard

We were talking about traveling alone and years past, how easy it was just to meet people and then go travel with them and then go someplace else and do this, and guest books should sign in and different hostels and such a different world. And I think there's a loss there's a loss of innocence, and this comes with it, these stories. But thank you for sharing

Hey, this is JL. I get it. I at one point sold Mary Kay and really wasn't selling it from the stance of I had the goal of getting a pink Cadillac. That was not my goal. I really started is because I was just tired of Uncle Sam robbing me during tax time. I was like, there's got to be a better way. And at the time, I just did not have an entrepreneurial spirit. So I said, what business can I get into?

Definitely some like Craigslist sketchy situations with apartments where I was really needing a place to live. And I know friends who have similar and kind of like you mentioned you had this feeling the whole way through and I think it's a lesson to really trust the feelings. I had this feeling the whole way through of like, is this too good to be true? And I kept checking in with this person and that person and what do you think of this?
