Default Re: But how do you really know... ?

Adam --

The opinion you expressed here was right on. It also makes it difficult to know what to listen to and not. I do remember when you were being more open with your tests. My personal feeling is that the folks making the real money are keeping it very quiet. As well they should.

But that brings up the whole "guru" element where business is tied to a personality. If you have that it's hard to steal/copy. On the other hand if you have that it makes it more difficult to seperate yourself from the business when the time comes.

Good to see you around.
