Certain principles and values guide the actions of people who start and sustain successful enterprises.
Over the past years, series of interviews with successful entrepreneurs from a wide variety of highly profitable and trend-setting enterprises have been conducted. This research has revealed the unique patterns of thinking and planning, the distinctive mindset, of these individuals.
The unique mindset of the entrepreneur includes sixteen clearly-defined attitudes, perceptions and principles. To convey how this mindset works, sixteen first-person statements—components of an on-going, internal dialogue has been formulated. These statements of mission guide the entrepreneur’s action agenda. They form the mental template that enables him or her to rise from the trenches and realize the highest objectives.

The above lesson was meant for entrepreneurs, on how to get more for whatever you are selling. But in today’s article, we will climb the fence and see it from the opposing perspective; how to recognize rip-offs, and how to avoid them.
In the Prostitute article, we spoke about a girl who plans to sell her virginity for one million euros. That is obviously a rip-off. (Like in the previous article, we are to disregard moral concerns for the purposes of this case study, and treat the commercial sex market just like any other conventional market.)

I read a story that i will love to share today, not because i stand for it, i absolutely don’t, but you see in every thing in life there are lessons to be extracted, i hope you learn something from this.
Raffella Fico is a 21 year old Italian model hoping to sell her virginity for one million Euros. Yes, that’s right. She has publicly declared that she’d have sex for the first time with anyone willing to give her a million bucks for the privilege and pleasure of deflowering her. Maybe she’s thinking that since virginity is something you can only lose once, might as well lose it for a big paycheck…
In this world where whores are widely available, and many of them more attractive than Miss Fico, it is funny that she would have the temerity to tag herself at such a price… I can’t say I have checked, but I don’t think even virgin whores could command such a price…
The thing is, I am pretty sure someone would take her up on her offer. Even if this particular deal doesn’t work out, our outrageous world has shown us that it is reasonable to expect a similar deal at other times involving other persons to be successfully transacted.
