| Couple of quick points today, or should I say rants... Firstly, all this crap about high petrol prices. Now, don't get me wrong, nobody wants to pay more than they have to for commodities like fuel, but the current atmosphere of worry and tension about the high price of fuel is too much. Of course these prices have gone up significantly when compared to what they were not long ago, but it's still cheap enough so that if you have to cut back hard on stuff like entertainment and holidays because of petrol prices, then you need to improve your financial education, and fast! Service station operators and owners cop abuse every day from small minded, poverty mindset people like the guy on the news today who said we were being ripped off by 3 cents a litre. 3 goddamn cents a litre!?!?!??!?!?!!?!?!!?? WHat's the difference between $1.58 and $1.55 a litre? And the way he said 'ripped off', as if they had a gun to our heads and their pump in our petrol tank. And I see the word 'profiteering' all over the news, wait, let me guess, if I try to make a profit, then that's profiteering and I should be chucked in jail. Too much focus on high prices, on poverty mindset and scarcity, absolutely none on positive things like financial education, making money, abundance mindset, prosperity thinking. Secondly, the federal government released it's annual budget today, and according to the media, they've been going around 'selling' this budget, even 'defending' it. How the hell do they find themselves in this position? Most sales people are doing the same thing, going around, actively selling their wares to anyone who'll listen to them for a few seconds. Bad positioning. Something that also happens is they find themselves actually defending their product. Someone has a bad word to say about it, the average sales person gets flustered, defensive, trots out pre-prepared answers to these allegations in a stressed out manner, doing more harm than good. Always stinks of a cover-up, 'buy my product, despite what you've heard and hopefully we never hear from you again'. And the 'feds' find themselves doing the same thing. At least they don't have to make us sign on the dotted line to get a commission. |
