Answer:
Hi Steve,
Thank you so
much for
your candid
feedback, it
really is
appreciated.
I'd like to
respond
though as I
think some
clarification
may help
understanding
my direction
better.
So just
answering
your points
from the top
down.
It may seem
like I was
assassinating
my
'competitors'
but I was
targeting
their
ability to
deliver
results, not
the quality
of their
content.
Their
content
works for me
and is
great. And
it works for
others like
me. However,
their
results are
not good
enough, 1%
of people
reading
their
material and
going on to
make a
success of
their lives
and not live
in quiet
desperation
is in my
honest
opinion...
unacceptable.
Especially
when through
changing the
teaching
style
results can
be achieved.
This is
merely
making an
engine more
efficient.
Your comment
that each of
us gets what
we need from
the various
sources... I
used to
agree with
that. In
fact I use
to say it to
people.
However, if
it were true
then why do
only 1% of
people
succeed? The
truth is we
do not get
what we
need, we
think we do,
but we do
not. The 1%
do get much
more from
Personal
Development
books than
the 99%,
that's
because we
would have
done it
anyway. But
the ones who
you say (and
I used to
say) get
what they
need at the
right time.
Just isn't
true,
otherwise
there would
be more
successful
people out
there.
I'm not in
this
business to
sell books,
I'm in this
business to
deliver
results. My
first book
delivered
massive
results,
these will
deliver far
more than
the first
one ever
did. When I
designed
this process
I looked at
why only 1%
succeeded
yet all of
us read the
same books,
and I
discovered
why. The
ones who
succeeded
would have
done so
anyway. So
my peers
books failed
to deliver
anything
other than
knowledge
and a feel
good factor.
And
knowledge
without
action is
like fuel
without a
spark...
useless.
As for the
arrogance, I
have to
agree with
you, I don't
mean to be
it is just
how I come
across, to
me it is
black and
white, right
and wrong.
And if
something
doesn't
work, then I
have to
protest
against it,
and that
sounds like
arrogance,
which it of
course is in
a way. But
it is not
meant to be
braggy, or
that sort of
arrogance.
It is
supposed to
be
helpful
leadership
cutting
through the
bull and
delivering
life
changing
results.
As for the
personal
demons, they
are to be
observed for
the wonders
that they
share,
instead of
feared for
the dangers
they
profess.
Best wishes
Andy |
