Yesterday we went hiking in the snow on Mount Seymour, British Columbia. We had a wonderful time and the views were, as always on a clear day, extraordinary. BC is certainly the most beautiful place in the world in my opinion. As we walked past a frozen lake, we saw two snowshoes sticking up at the entrance to a snow cave. It was a father, lying on is stomach, gazing into the cave that his young daughter had crawled into! The entrance was about two feet high and 18 inches wide. Imagine a father allowing his daughter to risk her life like that. They say child abuse is giving your kid a hiding. How about sending them into a snow cave, alone, that could collapse at any minute?

My point? When someone offers you a wonderful business opportunity / investment miracle / amazing seminar / exceptional book to read, ask them this: "Have YOU done what you're proposing I do?" Perhaps they're sending you into a snow cave to risk your life while they watch and collect the commission. Question their motives, and demand that they lead by example. Perhaps you're their guinea pig. You're their canary in the coal mine of risk. They want to have you take the risk (while they get paid for it) before they take the risk themselves, if they ever do.
