If you have a problem with a particular post then address it at that time. A blanket plea like this is just going to rile up people who are here every day giving their time and expertise only to find that it's not good enough for some. Lazy questions get cranky answers. Questions that show you haven't even read page one of your state manual get cranky answers. Questions that show you haven't given a single minute of thought to how you're going to market yourself get cranky answers. Questions that show you haven't even bothered to look at the list right here on this board that has 200 companies to start contacting get cranky answers. An air of entitlement gets a cranky answer.
This is not a union, and this is not an office where you mentor a subordinate to someday replace you. We're your competition. A pharmaceutical rep doesn't go to their competition and say, "hey, how are you getting that doctor to use your drug over mine? Show me." A restaurant owner doesn't walk across the street to another restaurant and say "why is everyone eating here instead of at my place? Tell me what I'm doing wrong."
We have no obligation to anyone, but we're here trying to help anyway. If someone needs to be mothered or nurtured, they have no business being self-employed. Someone wants my expertise, then they better not act like they are entitled to it and they need to show that they're not just looking for a handout.
It is what it is. Move on already. |
