Yes Dave, you make a good point, maybe my line of thinking isn’t right for everyone. But I just knew in my heart that it was what I needed to do this time. Like I’ve told others, this will probably be a once in a lifetime thing.

Carlos – I wrote something similar about Seth three years ago: http://tinyurl.com/yjhowvc

Ironically, Seth says this about books: “I try to find things with lousy covers and go out of my way to check them out. If the herd is drawn to the obvious, flashy cover, then I’m not going to find insightful, rare information where everyone else is. The unique stuff is hiding.” One could obviously substitute sites like Seth’s for books.

Robert and Sais make excellent points above. Maybe reconsider cutting Seth out entirely and learn / use from him what you can. This is the point that I needed to get to. At first I let my ego get in the way. I said to myself, “I cannot follow Seth because everyone is following him. I am not a sheep”. Once I clarified in my mind why I follow Seth, to learn stuff that will help me, I was more at peace.

That said, I really commend you for your line of thinking. You ARE an exception Carlos…keep moving in this direction brother.

I’m reminded of what my favorite karate sensei always tells me. No matter WHO is explaining something…if you disagree, you owe it to yourself to engage and find out what really works for YOU.

It was true then…and it’s true today. Great post!
