Liberty: Let Me Help You!
Have you ever stopped for a minute to read the latest trend in spam? It's life coaching, life books, and dreams management.
"Achieve your Dreams"
"Follow your Dreams"
"Make your financial dreams come true"
"The keys to being rich in a bad economy"
There's an entire industry that is alive and well. It's full of life coaches, positive speakers, and those who are willing to show you the way for a fee. I personally think the way is sometimes nothing more than people paying someone for advice on how to be positive.
I'm not outright knocking this industry. I'm just very amazed by it. There are tons of people on Facebook for example, who solely exist to sell their Life Coaching services. I don't understand this fully. Do you really learn anything that you don't already know? Can they tell you something that is worth the $200 an hour you are paying them? How many dvds or books must one buy?
I used to know a person that had a shelf full of self-help books. Hundreds of them. How do to this, how to do that, how to succeed at this or that, blank for dummies. You name it, this person had it. However, they were not as I would say very successful. In fact they were the opposite.
So my theory is a certain personality type follows the likes of Tony Robbins. The type that is never happen and moves on from whim to whim at any new vice or fad. This industry thrives on those personality types. Much like the tobacco industry knows addictive personalities will alwys exist.
Or maybe just maybe I trust no one.
