Why let their own credibility get dragged down for a second time, third time, fourth time, etc…?
The first time is understandable but not afterwards.
But I don’t think a self respecting person would do that over and over.
People will do crazy things for just $100. Including literally get fucked in the ass by a stranger.
7 figures? Ho boy. They’ll use way fancier words though for that.
A man approaches a girl and asks, "Would you sleep with me for $1 million?”
She responds, “Yes, of course!”
Excited, he then asks, “What about for $1?”
She indignantly replies, “Who do you think I am?”
To which he responds, “We already established who you are; now we’re just discussing the price.”
I think it fits there. There is surprising amount of people believing that they have some Values, but just to a point when they were offered to sell them for a right price.
Cy Porter's home inspection videos... jeez. How these "builders" are still in business is mind-blowing to me (as a German). Here? Some of that shit he shows would lead to criminal charges for fraud.
I'll also say the obvious here in Sinclair's quote about salaries: you can indeed pay for someone's self respect.
(Thus commanding a rate similar to a more competent person who doesn’t package it to sell.)
