Apparently I'm gross

She wasn't my biggest fan. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ Yesterday I got a fun response from an unhappy subscriber. I sent out an email offering to pay people $500 if they write a great YouTube ad for my 90 Days to Freedom course. This was the response from Liz the Offended: "Wait, you're not satisfied taking people's money, now you're actively taking their ideas too? That's gross dude." I don't often like to respond to haters but sometimes I just can't help myself. So I said: "Paying people for their ideas is gross?" To which Liz the Angry said: "Sure, paid. You got 100s of ideas, your words, and 3 people won prizes. It's gross. You're taking advantage of people. Do better 👎" To which I responded: "Your anger is sad. I hope things get better for you!" Often people are only lashing out because their own lives are a miserable mess and brings them a tiny ping of joy to mean to someone on the internet. I'm a happy person so I prefer to root for the angry internet responders. Now for my public response because I find her response to quite funny in ways. Apparently I'm gross because I take people's money and ideas. First off, people GIVE me their money for courses and coaching that improves their lives. Based on how much money they've given me, I must be helping them quite a bit. Second, I offered to GIVE people money as an opportunity for them. I am clearly a piece of shite. Third, I have GIVEN away hundreds of hours of free content on YouTube and free zoom coaching calls. I've given away over 1,000 emails worth of free content. As a reward for the value and trust I've built with people, they GIVE me money because they know they'll make back even more than they give me. So yes, I'm gross dude. I make me sick! Liz, if you're reading this, I genuinely hope things get better for you :) For everyone else, I love you. (Well, most of you.) That's all for now. Talk soon, Ian "I'm gross dude" Stanley P.S.
