Why Successful Entrepreneurs Need To Realize That Having Common Sense Isn’t Illegal!

So have you ever come across a situation (be it) personal and or professional, where you thought to yourself, are they serious?

You now exactly the the type of situation (s) that I’m referring to right? You just have to question whether or not common sense is involved at all. Exactly. Well, all successful entrepreneurs need to recognize that it’s absolutely okay to exhibit and exercise some type of common sense!

Especially as it relates to money in general, business and personal finances. Although, by the time you  finish reading this particular post, you may in fact be wondering, if some of those involved (who shall remain nameless), do in fact have common sense. In fact, there’s an old saying that goes; “common sense is not too common.”

The remainder of this post will provide plenty of ammunition, to support that basic line of thought.

All Successful Entrepreneurs Need To Realize That Having Or Exhibiting Common Sense Is Not Illegal!

( How Three Simple Real World Examples Back Up This Healthy Train Of Thought!)

Why do I appear to be so “gun ho”  and passionate about this particular train of thought? Basically there are three real world type of examples. You be the ultimate judge!

First of all having a genuine and  unapologetic passion for (trying) to understand and make sense of the (at times) far too complex of basic investment world and movement of money! This first example is ‘exhibit A.”

There’s a catchy line in an old satirical poem that reads “common sense is at an all time low in the heavy trading!”  That being said:

1.) Common sense and or lack thereof example # one: Entrepreneur, have you seen or read, these emails and or ever been invited to (either) an on or offline webinar and or offline free (yea right!) introductory workshop where the topic is ‘how and why you should buy gold!”

First of all, don’t get me wrong or miss understand me here! I clearly understand and get (and to a certain extent) agree with the basic overall premise, of  protecting your dollars purchasing power by hedging some of your cash assets and shifting part of your portfolio out of glorified paper assets such stocks (equities) and corporate bonds etc.

And moving them into some of the more traditional hard asset classes, such as (so called) precious metals, such as buying gold bullion in some form and investing in silver coins etc.

But here’s where the typical “gold & Silver” guru and guruettes part ways! They hammer you up and down at this live pitch fests (disguised as) free introductory educational workshops!

They emphatically declare that the “dollar” is all but dead! It’s worthless and has run it’s course! yet in the very next breath, here they accepting credit card payments, which just in case you don’t know) are electronically connected to money accounts! So let me get this straight Mr. or Mrs. Gold & Silver guru.

You say (emphatically) that the dollar is dead! Yet you readily accept dollars as payment for paid courses! Right!

Is it me? Or can you smell the hypocrisy here as well?

Some Say Common Sense Is Not To Common!

2.) Common sense and or lack thereof example # two: Moving right along; here’s the next odd thing that makes you scratch your head. Have you ever gotten these emails from the extremely well known marketers!

These men and women openly declare (in both) their emails and on or offline sales letters that they earn between six or eight figures annually! (Translated: that’s somewhere between one hundred thousand and ten million dollars annually! yet they declare in their emails (that have videos in them) that email marketing is somehow dead! Come again!

You’re sending me an email with a link to sales video to declare that email marketing (presumably) without the video accompanying it, is somehow dead! Again have I missed something?

3.) Common sense and or lack thereof example # three: Here’s another one that’s a little closer to home. (Sadly) I admit I have relatives that fall into this line of thinking. They’re convinced that if you’re dumb enough to invest say $100 dollars a month in the stock market, (irregardless) of which direction it’s going! (Glorified “dollar cost averaging.)

Anyway, if you do this faithfully every month (like clock work) for the next 36 months, while the overall market is  steadily tanking, you’re (meaning me!) am certified nuts! (Really?)

Yet they proudly proclaim to be doing the far more prudent thing by depositing their $10,000 dollars cash in the local (super safe) FDC insured neighborhood bank.

But when I ask them nicely to (please) explain how depositing their hard earned money in their FDIC insured local neighborhood bank that doesn’t even pay a lousy one percent annual interest!

Yet in the very same breath they’re constantly reaching for a credit card that charges anywhere from 17.5% to 21% interest possibly makes sense! They routinely give that dear in headlights look! As if, this is the very first time basic math has been explained to them! Hello!

So please forgive me for seeming just a bit skeptical! But that’s why I emphatically state! It’s not illegal for successful entrepreneurs to have and exhibit common sense! Don’t you agree?
