Yeah, that’s a fair take. You’re discerning and that’s good. But let me give you perspective. There’s a difference between deception and demonstration. Deception is showing a lifestyle you don’t have to manipulate others. Demonstration is showing what’s possible when principles are applied with consistency and integrity. If someone uses hype to hide a hollow product, that’s fraud. If someone uses proof to inspire others to act on truth, that’s leadership. So the real question isn’t “are they showing success?” It’s “what truth supports the success they’re showing?” When you align skill, service, and stewardship, money follows naturally. But if any of those are missing, the whole thing crumbles. If the only way to make money is by recruiting people who recruit people, it collapses. That’s not sustainable. A real business sells something people actually want without needing to convince others to “join.” The lifestyle stuff online? That’s just marketing. It grabs attention. But behind every real business that lasts, there’s product, process, and proof. So instead of judging by the cars, houses, or beaches, ask: 1. What’s the actual product? 2. Do people buy it without joining? 3. Can I win through skill and effort, not hype? If those three check out, you’ve got a business. If not, you’ve got noise. Edit: Even massive brands and artists advertise nonstop. Justin Bieber posted 97 times in just 5 days to promote his new album! If Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber still promote like crazy, what makes anyone think small business owners shouldn’t? Even in traditional business, you are the brand. People buy the product, but they also buy you: your confidence, presentation, and consistency. So yes, same principle applies. Sometimes, those who downplay marketing just haven’t experienced what it truly takes to build and grow a business yet.

Happy Birthday my dear brother! "For I am the LORD your God, who takes hold of your right hand and tells you: Do not fear, I will help you." Isaiah 41:13
Keep fighting the good fight of faith!

Not to late to start.

One day, a billionaire was saying goodbye to his longtime secretary as she retired. Wanting to thank her for years of loyalty, he decided to give her a few million dollars so she’d never have to worry about money again.

To his surprise, the secretary shook her head and said,
“Why would you do that? I already have a few billion of my own.”

Completely stunned, the billionaire replied,
“But… how? You’ve only ever made five or six thousand dollars a month. How could you possibly save that much?”

She smiled and said,
“All those years, I sat in on your meetings. When you were on the phone buying land or stocks, I quietly did the same — just on a smaller scale. I copied your moves. So when you made millions, I made hundreds of thousands. And when you made billions, I made millions.” 💰✨

💡 Life lesson:
Who you surround yourself with matters. There are people who drain your energy… and people who lift you higher.

Bees always lead you to flowers.
Surround yourself with people who inspire growth, not negativity.

When you walk with smart people — you grow wiser.
When you walk with driven people — you start aiming higher.
When you walk with dreamers — you learn to dream bigger.

But if you spend your time with those who complain, who have no dreams, no goals, they’ll only pull you down.

👉 Choose your circle wisely.
👉 Build the kind of environment that fuels your growth.
👉 And be that positive force for the people around you.

Which level? It's your choice.
