Hi Matt,
I don't think I mentioned my area of expertise, Im a surgeon. I admit, there are better surgeons out there than me, like ones that have trained for years, earned qualifications and actually saved peoples lives… however im cheaper. I feel watching causality and being a member of St Johns Ambulance as a child qualifies me to operate. Also I have put plasters on my son (and others) more than once. Most of my clients are poor, I tell them I don't have the same qualifications or experience as some of my colleagues, but they choose to pay me anyway in case I can help them. Surgery isn’t just about saving peoples lives/helping people, its about other stuff too. Ive been quoted 100,000 for heart bypass surgery by really good surgeons, however I only charge £7,200 and I always offer clients a free consultation call with zero pressure.
In all seriousness Matt, you have balls, as you are on here as you and I am hiding behind an avatar mainly because the twins scare the hell out of me. I believe you believe you are helping people, but a lot of the people we have heard from on this platform don't have £600 to spare, they are desperate and struggling to make ends meet.
Do you not think you could give people the wrong advice from time to time, even if your intentions are good and you are trying your best? Thats why teachers train for years, they don't just learn tonnes of material, but also the process of how to teach and what is and is not appropriate. They also learn about understanding the limits of the individual and how to deal with people with disabilities and people who have depression.
There have been people on this forum who have suffered real financial and metal damage owing to this ungoverned industry. There are people that coaches should have referred to a doctor for help, but instead they took their money. I’m not saying you’ve done that obviously.
Im sure you’ve done great at your core business and to start it up age 19 shows you’ve got drive, you’ve achieved more than most, good for you, and you seem like a nice guy, but I feel you have no business charging people for your business expertise, sometimes a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
