Time after time, those who have made it big will tell you that if they were starting again now they'd avoid market like a plague.

Too much competition they say.

The industry is saturated they tell you. Competition is enormous, and many of these entrepreneurs are search engine experts to boot.

So you'd have to be mad to try and enter this industry from a standing start, right?

In December 2002 a brand new Internet marketing book was launched - entitled "Under Oath - The Whole Truth". I personally own a copy and can attest to what an excellent book it is.

What is so interesting is that it's full of brand new information. It stands out from crowd because it is so free from constantly rehashed themes so common in these circles.

It's so good infact that according to his press releases and newsletter, previously unknown author, Shephen Pierce, sold 1,500 copies within first two weeks of launching it.

His website, http://www.the-whole-truth.com, went from nowhere to within most popular 2000 sites on Internet as ranked by Alexa.

And all because his book is new, exciting and more original than most of his competitor's.

So I'll ask you again.

Is there ever too much competition?

5. I wouldn't order mushrooms if I were you. People get sick on them all time.

If they're making people sick, get them off your menu.

6. I really have no idea, lady. This is worse place to work you can imagine. We don't get any training.

While shopping in an office supply store.

7. The sales receipt from a fast-food restaurant I was given that had “F*** YOU for stopping at ____” printed on it where “Thank you for stopping at ____” should’ve been.

I’m not making that up. Every manager’s worse nightmare.

8. If you think it’s bad now, you ought to be in here on a Saturday.

This at a home products store when I complained about long wait for service.

9. I haven't got time right now.

When I asked someone in a local bookstore chain to help me find a book. I don't know what they "value" in a customer. I generally spends hundreds of dollars on books in there in a year ... but not any more.

10. I know he hasn’t answered your call. He’s really awful about that. I shouldn’t say that, but he does it all time and it drives me nuts.

It drives his patients nuts too and, having found out it's a habit, not a mistake, I'll be looking elsewhere.
