4 easy steps

or…risk vs. reward

obviously, this kind of thing would only be for those with insane amounts of intestinal fortitude…

lasik@home

what if step 4 ends up being: burn significant hole in retina...lose all vision permanently...acquire seeing eye dog?

and yet…

how many times do we all see business owners holding the equivalent of a made in taiwan excimer laser to the eyeballs of their businesses?

after all…

that guy wearing the lab coat on the website must be a real doctor, right?

just like those guys wearing the short sleeve white shirts with the black pants & ties must be real it pros, right?

come on people…think!

clothes don’t make the man, or woman…particularly when it comes to it.

the secret to finding a great it provider is quite simple, actually. just look for 3 things:

  • professionalism
  • ethics
  • technical expertise

i’ve seen way too many people get suckered by a slick sales pitch, desperately wanting to believe all the too-good-to-be-true promises. and then those folks get royally screwed over by a consultant who didn’t know what he/she was doing.

worse yet…when it came down to choosing that provider…

the only factor weighed was price.

let me ask you this…

would you shop around for the lowest priced surgeon if you needed to have, say, a cervical radiculopathy corrected?

didn’t think so.

 

oh yeah…

if you’re actually considering lasik surgery, might want to check out this site first.
