~ What is with this ?!?!~
OK....today I awoke to several email messages from my clients. They were informing me of a new advisor on Keen that is using a name very similar to mine for their blog. My clients saw this before I had a chance to even log on.

Now that I have found the blog they are speaking about......I wonder...what is up with this?

Originality is necessary in all aspects of life.....and especially when creating work like I do on my blog.

I have been told imitation is a version of flattery....well....not to me. There is nothing flattering about this to me. My concern is for my clients, that they do not get confused between the two. I suppose the writing style will be a tell tale in time...unless of course my content is copied too.

Please people, advisors & clients alike....
BE YOURSELF.....STAND TALL....BE SOLID IN YOUR SENSE OF SELF...

There is nobody like you.....that is the awesome workings of our Universe!

Thank you to my dear & cherished clients for bringing this to my attention :)

OH OH!  Not good a . . .
:(
let's hope it is just an oversight and not intentional . . . I know several other advisors have had problems with even their pictures being taken!

BUMMER!

I have read their stories and one would HOPE it was an oversight and not intentional....
I will be keeping my eye on this situation.
The similarities are too close for comfort if you know what mean.
The best part of this is that my clients spotted it and felt "something" was awry.
I have the best clients, they are a true blessing to me always :)

A dear friend of mine, here in Keenland, has had something similar happen to her when a new psychic picked a name almost exactly like hers. She didn't mind until her clients started telling her they had called that person by accident and were upset.

Can totally understand your upheaval.

Lady Hope,

I am sorry to hear of your friend having a similar experience. I do not like the way my clients saw & clicked on it  so easily thinking it was me...that is what bothers me.
I have worked hard to earn my clients respect & trust, as any reputable advisor has here on Keen.
A play on names is not kosher!
It made me think of fake designer/name brand merchandise being sold as genuine, name brand quality.
I know clients are smart and can spot the faux, however they should not even have to be in that situation in the first place.
Comes down to good old fashioned integrity and honesty. In our line of work, if you don't have those two qualities in your mission statement....YIKES~BUYER BEWARE!!!!!
Blessings to you :)

Dr.D...

I have to say I am not in the least surprised by this.  I mean, if I were not be me...I would without a doubt want to be YOU.  

So it should be no wonder to any of us that there is someone doing this very thing here on Keen.  What a wonderful world this is....that there is not just ONE of you, but TWO.  Sadly, I am neither of them, just still me.

One day, when I'm feeling rather jaunty (and with tons of extra cash) I will dial-up BOTH of these *YOUs* on Keen and conference you(s) together.

Dr.D...first knock of Loius V on Ebay, now knock-off Dr.D on Keen.  Do you think people try to pretend their Keen session was with the REAL Dr.D when, in fact, it was a fake?  Oh,  Phooey phoney.  You should start a rebellion (again!)

well honestly Math I am shocked..and I do mean shocked no one wants to be me! There should be tens of hundreds of mes out there. I am shiney you know. And in fact, huff!, quite offended that you want to be Dr D, when you told me, that you wanted to be me!!

Well That sure makes you a knock off does it not?

Dearest Lovey,

Hello there girly!

What a wonderful & welcome response that only you could deliver!!!

You crack me up and I appreciate that especially when dealing with "phooey phoney".

One of my favorite songs that uplifts my spirit is Louis Armstrong's "Wonderful World" and I say yes it is a wonderful world with a few clouds that cover the sun only for a bit of time....the sun is always there no matter the strength of the storm.

Dr Daragh is always here no matter who challenges me in whatever way they so choose. I actually thrive & grow during challenges...so perhaps I should offer thanks the "phooey phoney" for helping me shine my Light even brighter :)
I wonder what Louis V does about all those fakes for sale????
Thanks for the smiles & laughs that only you could deliver :)

Light & Love

Lady Hope,

I am certain there are 1000's of people that want to be you...give it some time...there will be someone who tries to duplicate your greatness.

As for Math, she is her best being her true & genuine self. Nobody could duplicate that could they?!?
