I've been reading up a lot about marketing and psychotherapy and quite frankly I'm finding the whole thing a bit weird. When did we all turn into Matthew Lesko?
I do think that assertive marketing is key to any business and in some ways it removes the stigma of seeking help for the client. On the other hand, basing your site and approach on the “5 easy steps to making your first million selling 2012 survival gear” business model brings the profession down a notch. The question I have is whether it's successful. I've asked a couple of folks who went this route to get back to me with some results. If it works you may see me on T.V at 3am speaking to a crowd who can't help but clap and cheer every time I push my book and free set of allen wrenches.
