I have said thanks either way after most of the negative posts.I've had people make comments I didn't agree with or didn't like. I get *extra* polite in those circumstances. "Thanks for taking the time to reply. I didn't think of it that way. That's helpful to know. Thanks."
Cool Story. No sarcasm.I remember that meeting. I also remember offering you, a person that I had just met for the first time, the highest level position in my company. You did not even have experience in the field. But, there was something about you...
Did they decide they were gonna start bashing you for no good reason?Funny thing is, I didn't write either a letter. I also didn't call them a**holes.
A common misconception in this thread is that I haven't been listening to everyone's advice. Nor do I plan on implmenting it.However, if you close your mind, if you put up mental walls and refuse to humble yourself and learn...how will you get anywhere?
I saw red for about half a second. But you know what? He was RIGHT, his way was BETTER, and I LEARNED from him. Now I will take that advice and use it to better care for my customers while protecting my own interests.
Agreed.I'm in no place to say if this thread is worth Gold or not. But anyone willing to wade through some negative posts will find a goldmine of info and advice about mentorship, people skills, and generally how to be a good human. VITAL skills in the business world.
I apologize. It was a misunderstanding.Geez, he's not alluding you want in his eCom class ... he's alluding that your body of posts are being evaluated.
And the 1-percenters here (the folks who are in your mentor-target) are trying to tell you nicely that you are coming across as self-entitled and not willing to listen.
Kind of turned into that, huh?Definitely a Gold Thread.
Yeah, I noticed SteveO has a little bit of a better vibe to him.Hey @SteveO , I can honestly say that out of all the members in this forum your posts touch me the most.
I apologize. I must of read it wrong. I appreciate your post and the valuable insight you have shared.My post was not directed at you. I do not ignore you or I wouldn't have seen your posts. It was directed at people looking for a mentor. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
OP has probably gotten a few $$$$ worth of free advice from several millionaires and highly successful entrepreneurs on this thread.
He probably won't take it but I think many others will.
That's where you're wrong.
(Example: I'm taking the quote belows advice.)
What's the first thing you should do when you realize you're digging a hole?
Stop digging.
I appreciate all the input. As I've said, I have learned a lot from this thread. But it's kind of "overstayed its welcome" and I'm ready to just kill it already. Therefore, this thread will not be receiving any further comments from me.
