“Bro – I’m thinking of taking this online course that just launched.”
“Ask the questions bro—“
“What questions?”
“I know you want me to validate your future purchase — I just don’t think my opinion matters… So ask yourself the questions.”
“Huh?—”
“What is it?”
“An online course – I told you…”
“Why do you think you need it? Why did someone create it?”
“Uh—I think they’re sharing tips that worked for them that I may not know.”
“How are they sharing that? And how will that help—?”
“It’s a video and online course—and it will—“
“So no hands on… one on one connection with them during the course?”
“I don’t think… you know what—I don’t know“
“What if you go through it and they share nothing new or it doesn’t help? What if the course is outdated because the video was recorded years ago?”
“Oh shit.”
“Yeah. Those are the questions.”
“Damn.”
“Yeah. Ask them and you have the answers. Most people don’t ask them—I guess they’re afraid to disappoint themselves. Also—have you seen the courses from Steve Jobs, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Musk, Walton and Walt Disney?”
“Um…”
“Me either.”
