True.

I feel I'm being sold from every angle.

Can't take a step without being bombarded with a new thing to buy.

And 99% of it doesn't work.

I have to admit Chris, when I first started reading this, I thought "what a jaded point of view." Then I saw this was all about taking action and consistently following through rather than just collecting information which I agree with completely. In the Stages of Change psychology model which is fundamental in coaching, the "should wes" are precontemplators. They mean well, but they are not at the stage where they are actually ready to make a change because they also need the ingredient of being ready, willing and able to do so. Until that happens, even the best information isn't going to turn the tide.

Thanks! So many people get stuck in the "research" phase when the best research can only be done during the "action" stage. it's an argument for "just doing it" to see if it can be done.
