Is it just me, or does it seem like untrustworthy promoters have a similar m.o.:
"If you don't see the genius in my advice, LEAVE! We don't need you anyway!"
Seems they're trying to make the consumers feel stupid/guilty for questioning the motives/value of the guru. Blatantly turning the question of sincerity on the audience rather than to the guy asking for $1,000.
It does seem to work though.
What's really strange is this is the attitude that we got from Robert Kiyosaki when we met him face to face: He screamed at us and tried to belittle us-- but he wasn't trying to "sell" anything! (we weren't there for one of these seminars).
But when he did this, I had the same reaction: Why would he be so bullying, and condescending? His behavior was reminiscent of low-life sleazy con artists. It certainly didn't seem fitting coming from someone whom we already respected and had traveled hundreds or thousands of miles to see.
But all he kept saying (as he was screaming four letter words at us) was "this is WHO I AM!!".
Yuck. Sure bummed me out. I had held him in much higher esteem, prior to that day.
I still respect what I've learned from his books and tapes. As a writer, he's a great teacher.
But as a man? And a mentor?
He left us all disappointed.
