There are occasionally people who will claim that they succeed by doing something I don’t advise, for example, cold calling or billing in time units.
I don’t argue. They’re very few and very far between, and I tell them “I never argue with success.”
But I do argue when they try to advise that everyone should do what they’re doing. The probability is that they’re lying, or had a happy accident or two. But they’re not succeeding by doing things that don’t normally work on a regular basis.
You can tell me that you can read minds and that’s why you’re successful. (I’ll usually ask, “Can you read mine right now?”) But I’m not going to argue, because it’s pointless. However, when you try to teach others to read minds, then your a con artist and need to be stopped.
Pyramid sales (network marketing, direct sales, Ponzi Schemes) anyone?
