Step 5: The Art of the Hard Sell

By this point, you've convinced your friends and family that investing in your latest get-rich-quick scheme is a sure thing. Now it's time to take it to the next level. Introduce the concept of "limited time offers" and "early bird discounts" to make your pitch even more irresistible.

For example: "But wait, there's more! If you invest now, you can get in on the ground floor of this opportunity and be one of the first 50 people to make a six-figure return on your investment! After that, it'll be too late, because we'll be charging an extra $1,000 for each subsequent investor. Don't be left in the dust, folks! Invest now and reap the rewards!"
