There is one thing in life that is always true and never changes:You clearly know nothing about my business model. I'm not worried one bit about a trickle effect. My rates are considered on the higher end in Durham. It still works for me. I meet and usually exceed my quota monthly. I often take months off from new clients. I don't need this as an income which is why I can dish back to the guys what they dish out first.
Which is what happened here. You want to have a respectful conversation, no problem. You want to start making judgmental generalizing sweeping statements and negatively labelling people, I'm going to show you how the same can be said for you. Which is exactly what I did in my first reply to you.
When you spoke maturely about it with Bone Ranger, I gave you the credit for that.
There is a difference in the tone of some of these posts and it is those whiney negative ones that get the pushback. Because I can push back when others can't.
I have repeatedly helped newbies on this board. I've PMed members I think could help a newbie who is jumping in head first, giving loads of personal info, paying really high rates, etc. I feel they don't know all the risks and get caught up in what they perceive the rewards are. So I am not averse to a discussion. But some of this is simply not discussion. It is whiny. It is complaining. It is bitching for the sake of bitching. So I call it out for what it is.
Whenever somebody says, “It’s not about the money” you automatically know with absolute and complete certainty that: It’s about the money.
