"Pro's" sure do wind up in court a lot.
I could list at least a dozen pro's who have wound up in court or jail for fraud, in the last 2yrs.
I was thinking that its always the "secret sauce" guys/gals (#equality) that are the ones who fall. What I mean is the ones where they tell you how they do things, but its vague and doesn't really seem to add up. But, and here is the best part, they will 100% teach you how they do it. BOOM! Its just that easy....
Don't get me wrong there are A LOT of real pro's, tons. I personally do business with people who impress me daily with their hard work and dedication to making stuff with an hit happen.
The experts at REI that do teach and are there to help aren't flashy about it and want to make money off you, but will tell you how and w/out a gimmick.
Sidebar- Gimmicks don't work. They are just marketing. Like painting your front door red. Sure, you got their attention but if they look inside and its a wreck then they will bail. So now you need to paint your door again.
Conclusion- life is odd that way, in which people who claim titles flagrantly do so with such ego that they forget to bother to actually try to master that which they claim domain. I am an expert and yet I openly and willingly admit I know very little in the totality of my business. I rely on experts who individually have honed their own craft/skill/knowledge/reputation in order to accomplish my own goals. Luckily I am at a place where I do not rely on "experts in rei" and am not in search of "the secret to success" in such desperation to blinded by bells and whistles.
