I AM a Professional!!
Amazing as it sounds if I were to sit here and write about something beautiful it is doubtful many would read it. On the other had if I were to sit here and write about something quite controversial it is likely there would be many reading and responding. Why is this? Is it in our nature to gravitate toward conflict? Do we like conflict? Does one like stirring up conflict? It appears that when an advisor post a blog that in any way reflects that someone has done something negative or inappropriate, there are those who rush in to say the advisor is bad, criticize them for their postings, and state they don't deserve calls. This is bull with the four letter word attached. Are we expected to sit here like quiet little mice and never speak up or defend ourselves? Not me I do not sit like a quiet little mouse, I tell it like it is. Yes there are callers who take advantage of readers. The reader has the right to say enough is enough. Maybe it is only a small portion who does these annoying things, but that small percentage causes big damage. Then drama queens want to say keep your mouth shut, this is not an appropriate message to be sending to your clients or potential clients. Again I say BULL with the four letter word attached. When an advisor requests free minutes and then gives you a one star just for the fun of it, that is like a big slap in the face. When someone hangs up after 1 minute and gives a one star, again big slap in the face. When someone sends an identical email to many advisors requesting free minutes, then never pays, even after getting hours of free minutes, another slap in the face. Click monsters clicking our funds away, big slap in the face. I for one do not like being slapped in the face. I do not like seeing others slapped in the face either. Oh and don't get me started on how unprofessional I am for speaking my mind. After all do I live in a country where I have free speech, am I entitled to give my opinion? If you are viewing this as negative then look at yourself. Are you perfect? I am not perfect nor do I claim to be.
