It seems my last post has caused quite a stir. So much so, that I’ve made the news. Albeit not quite in the way I’d have liked. 
However, let’s face it, you can’t please all of the people all of the time. And nor should you be trying to. Not if you are trying to attract honest, dedicated home business owners to you and to sign them up to your business.
I make quite a big deal out of building a good solid reputation online. It’s the biggest single ‘aha’ moment when you suddenly realise that Magnetic Sponsoring is not about attracting people to your company, it’s about attracting them to you.
So when the response to my last post was a sudden and totally unexpected slur on my own personal reputation, naturally it made me a little suspicious. After all, it’s a bit of a coincence don’t you think?
I run the story of one man’s fight against Prosper Learning and the same day I am labelled as a scammer over at ComplaintsBoard.com/, not to mention the comments posted. Phew! Smells a bit fishy to me.
Still I have to confess that being stuck with a ‘bad reputation‘ seems to be good for business. Traffic has shot up at my blogs, taking my earnings with it! Surely those who set out to put me down weren’t really trying to help me earn more money? 
Much as I’ve gained immense pleasure from reading some of the garbage posted and am seriously flattered that someone (?) thinks I’m dangerous enough to warrant discrediting in the first place, it is now time to get back to business. Alas, playtime is over. (read: comments are closed)
No matter what sort of business you are running, no matter whether you run it online or offline, your reputation matters. Unfortunately, as you become more successful, you will also become more of a target to those who don’t like what you stand for. Take it as the compliment it’s not meant to be.
