If she would, then I am not surprised at your story, the arrogance shows in all fronts...but do not let that bother you and continue with your book and your success. Some people want to make money out of you on your way up and when you get there, they have to push you down. It was never about helpoing you, it was about the fees to get you there. But don't worry, The Karma police takes care of things, the hair will fall and the young wife will leave when he turns 70. Its just a matter of time...Good luck and much success.

Thank you for such a nice comment. Believe me, I was surprised too and I sort of wanted to name him. But his name is beside the point. And the story didn't end with this post. I got a follow-up email from him this morning, telling me how I "don't understand marketing," that HE is the one who has had successful books (not me), and that he was "taking time to help" me yet I was being resentful of him. Fortunately, I know the difference between someone trying to help me and someone just trying to berate me for the sake of berating me. Helpful would have looked something like this: "I've found that XYZ technique works a little better blah blah blah." Helpful is NOT: You suck and I'm fabulous. But the beat goes on and I'll still be selling my books. Just without the help of any of this man's seminars or resources. Hi Nathan! Thank you for such a nice comment.

I feel I should also tell you how much respect I have for you for keeping him anonymous. It would be tempting for me to throw out his name in the hopes that others would stop attending his seminars, and it is encouraging to see that you exercised some restraint when others (like him) fail to do so. I hope for the best with your book, and I'm glad you aren't discouraged by wet blankets like this guy. I’m surprised that people can react so negatively to something like this.
