Zero;
I think in your post you identified the problem (at least in your case) with poor people not getting a lot out of PD. You wrote several times that you couldn't relate to the examples in the various books you read.
I have found that many people have trouble making a distinction between a lesson and an example illustrating the lesson.
I think that is crucial, as much of PD is not so much about coming up with the lessons ( many of which have been known for centuries ) as it is in inspiring people to use those lessons in the face of adversity and VERY delayed gratification.
A large part of being inspired by someone is in being able to relate to them.
Maybe that is your hook should you ever choose to go the Steve Pavlina route for the benefit of people from your background. |
