Saying it is little is probably a HUGE exageration, because this one speaks straight to the heart of LIFE.<br /><br />Life has rules. Games have rules. Internet Marketing has rules. Teams have rules. Deal with it. You can't get away from it, it's always there and while you can choose to attempt to break the rules, you usually won't get far. Rules were made to keep things in a constant state of organization and a constant state of fair play. If you don't like it, get out of the game.<br /><br />A team is created for one reason. For every single person on that team to help each other out. If one person isn't helping, then that person shouldn't be there. Football teams DO NOT keep a player who can't hold up his end of the bargain. So why should we? If you can't follow a simple rule and keep to your end of the bargain, why do you join a team?<br /><br />Stefan Berg, Robert Puddy, Soren Jordenson...names that you recognize? If you have surfed more than a week on any site, you have seen all of these names and more. Do you think they made it to the top without putting up with and following a few simple rules? If you do, then you are an idiot who will never make money online and you should quit now and go back to your 9-5.<br /><br />And to those of you who think that I have nothing more to do with my time then sit here and carry you on my back because you are too busy promoting too many other links, think again. Being a full time stay at home Mom with kids who home school isn't a picnic. And yet I find the time to carry you because I want my team to succeed on a program that I think should have been thrown in the garbage can before it was released. But I sit here on that same program to be with the people who have helped me, carried me when I needed to be carried and supported me.<br /><br />Now, if you need a week or even two to be carried, I'll be there to help. But if you intend to sit back on your fat rear end and watch the credits add up to promote your other programs while I do the work...you need to rethink. Because I WILL not do your work for you.<br /><br />Play the game. Play to win. And for god's sake, stop whining about the rules. </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175097426617965906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_KKvClt3o08w/R9GjsM-aHVI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/zoq_SRaguUk/s400/34620361.gif" border="0" /><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /><br />Best Wishes,<br />Melanie<br />A.K.A.<br />The Ranting Queen</div>Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05823939224466054531noreply@blogger.com
