Haven't taken any offense and appreciate the honest dialogue. I haven't said anything or implied anything about lying and I think we agree that these behaviors are on a spectrum. The point of the post was actually to just underline the importance of sales in our lives - and that everyone needs to sell in order to succeed. Many others have made this point before, which is fine. I believe that "honestly demonstrating its value to a demographic" is a form of selling and that improving the ability to sell will help achieve goals. I appreciate your feedback. I know that some find my style distasteful and acknowledge that not everyone sees things this way. I will say that U have targeted this series toward people who are closer to the patio11 than used car salesman and this thread will help me adjust my future posts to get my message across better.
