Treat being scammed as a tax for being successful. Everyone will get what they deserve in the end anyways. Some are great at making sure no dollar goes to waste, others just compensate for some waste by focusing on productive power and overcome all minor obstacles that way. Of course the best is to be balanced, but this is how we learn, through knocks and knockouts. Inspirational stuff, keep it going.
I disagree.
One needs to stand up for himself. If you think someone does wrong to you, you take it up with that person. Big or small. You handle that shit. Lock that shit down. If it gets out of hand or he runs away or ducks you, you find that fucker and you deal him swift relevant justice and the matter ends right then and there, regardless of how little or much justice was served.
Very few times, you just gotta chalk it up and let it go. ONLY when it's going to prove more expensive to get that justice. ONLY when it has little to no bearing on your reputation or market. When deadbeats owe creditors money, do they just, ignore it and write it off? Fuck that. They hound and pound the shit out of the debt holder.
Guys that are so quick to avoid confrontation of any sorts and replace it with motivational good feels and happy times and claims of how it makes you more successful and blah blah fuckin blah are the guys that also get ripped off ALL THE TIME... why? Because they have zero balls. They instead like to praise themselves and other weaklings that it's okay to get fucked. Well, pass the lube around boys, you're gonna need lots of it with that attitude!
But leaving it up to karma? He'll get his.... yeah.. okay.. When? When was the last time you saw karma catch up to someone and deal real justice as it was deserved? Hm? Yeah.. life doesn't work that way.
Be a man and stand the fuck up for yourselves. You'll feel better. It will boost your personal and business pride and ego in a very healthy way (not negative -- feelings of anxiety and fear, those are negative and can unfuck your rise to where you need to be). But mostly, you'll be doing yourself and the market a huge favor and it will prove to yourself that you did something good and right for a change.
That's the difference between how I run my stuff versus how others run theirs. I am aggressive and dominant. I don't let people fuck me. When they try (of course people still try...) I go after them. HARD. What you guys may see as overkill of aggression I see as getting rid of one less scammer or fraudster that needed getting rid of. Maybe that's because where I'm from and how I was raised, real men weren't pretending to be someone they weren't. When business was done and someone fucked up, they got punished. Words = not much punishment.
I'm addicted to doing it because it's the right thing to do, even if it makes me no money. It's still, the right thing to do and it's so easy and necessary.
But those who stand up for not standing up... lose any respect earned and in turn, are just inviting more scams and frauds onto themselves. Now THAT is karma at work.
