subject: Andrew Reynolds on Whiners and Winners [print this page] During the Andrew Reynolds Bootcamp talked about the guys who post negative text on discussion forums.
Andrew Reynolds asked us if we love those discussion forums and then he said but then you get a right grumpy bastard who goes on there and because he's had a bad day he writes up stuff that's having a go. And then someone else comes along, and he says he agrees, it's not right is it?
And as Andrew Reynolds told us then you get some old guy who has a real chip on his shoulder and he joins in. So there's all these guys posting up negative stuff and then other people from the outside take a look at the forum. They think all these guys are saying it's no good so it can't be any good. But what they don't know is that the comments are posted by people who are not qualified to comment.
Also, Andrew Reynolds told us the people from the outside who are convinced by these negative postings don't ever get to hear about all the positive comments.
For instance Andrew Reynolds said about the bloke who sent him an email a couple of days ago. It was full of bad language. He didn't like Andrew's course and he told Andrew what he could do with it.
Then, a couple of days later he sent Andrew Reynolds another email full of apologies. He told Andrew he had come home after a pretty drunken night out and had just wanted somebody to lay into because he was fed up.
During that Bootcamp I personally heard so many positive things said about Andrew Reynolds and his course and all the things he teaches. People were saying things like, "I think Andrew Reynolds is amazing," and "Reading his books, it's so simple," and "He makes you realize that you can be a success."
So, as Andrew Reynolds told us during the Bootcamp it pays to be careful who you listen to, be careful what input you get. Don't join the grumpy club.
