so lately there's been a lot of threads about tony robbins, and eric thomas and whoever else.
what i hate about motivational speakers, is when they talk about 'success' or give people advice. it's all ideas and content they make up. thye don't talk from experience. most motivational speakers build careers speaking. they dont start speaking after being successful at something.
in reference to the tony robbins business sales video thread. tony robbins doesnt know what its like to run a business. what does he now about blockbuster or netflix ?
now i know what you're thinking. the successful speakers run multi-million dollar businesses themselves. seminars/books/being psuedo celebrities. i know it takes a great deal of skill and business sense to do that. i also know they actually study what they talk about, what makes someone successful, what doesnt, habits blah blah blah. they are experts in their field.
its just bullSh*t that their field is telling other people what to do. when they don't know. they speak too generally to appeal to the public. 'mass advice' is just stupid. a small business man is different from an employee working for a large company, different from a CEO and different from a politician. the fact that all these people come to listen to the same guy, who can't do what they can. is pointless.
an apprentic learns from a master. young from old. inexperienced from experienced.
general horoscope fluff talk that pumps up your emotions and adrenaline and excites you IS STUPID.
/end rant
