Stay in the know
I spoke to an old friend the other day. A lawyer whom gets his kicks out of not telling you everything until he is sure he can get a dollar off of you.
I had asked some pointed questions about how to acquire some documentation.
his first response was, "It is going to cost you."
I wanted to puke.
I am so glad that I can work for an organization that does not profess the need for funds. Though funds is what makes most corporations run.
I was furious at the fact that he had information that could help, but was not going to give it up cause one he did not have it, he knew where to get it but it was going to cost me. As if I was not willing to pay any price for that which I desire.
I look at my website and all the work I have put into it and I say, "I will pay any price and I will jump through any fire to achieve."
He knew where to get it, he knew why I wanted it, he knew it all but was not willing to help unless we agreed on a price.
I am a salesman, I am an entrepreneur, I learn the ends and out of a situation so I do not have to ask the next man what it will cost for you to do something for me, but what will it cost for me to acquire said product on my own.
That is why I love WA.
We can finally live on our own terms. Feels good not be bound by the price structure of those that think they are in charge.

It really is a shame that people feel like information is more valuable when they keep it a secret. It's time to embrace our ability to share everything we know so that others can benefit. When you do things for the right reasons, you will be rewarded handsomely.
Loved your post. Keep trucking!

I really am glad that you could relate to an everyday experience. I know there are a lot of other people that have run across these situations and I just wanted to share how to stay on top.
