playlist··on That Didn’t Need to Take an Hour
There is something terribly manic about this post. It seems like the present moment is never good enough for him. There must be something better to do somewhere else.

I was like this once. It ruined my marriage.

Financial ruin is okay if your family still loves and supports you. Financial success is not okay if you stepped on everyone to get there, and your family hates you.

Just a thought.

Your reasoning for the steep prices is only going to convince yourself unfortunately. The price is so high, I'm not even going to try it, because I know I'll never buy in anyway.

But maybe I'm wrong. I wish you success.

EDIT: Ok, I tried it. It does a fantastic job, I'll admit. But much too pricey for me.

You're welcome. Several years ago I gave this same advice to my daughters (both in their late teens). They've been gainfully employed ever since.

You are the specialist. Tell prospective employers how you'll solve their problems. Come at it from a position of strength.

In other words, use intent as a big magnet to draw people in. Intent is the most powerful word in marketing, and that's what you're doing. Find a way to make firms come to you, hat in hand.

Your approach sucks. Looks like your going around, hat in hand, looking for someone to give you a job. As if people owe you or something.

Look for ways to help people. If you got big bad skills, prove it. Make people come to you.
