Behind The Green Curtain

AKA Trust Is For Suckers

The IT Chick

I have clipart of a server room on my web page, so I must know what I’m talking about!

Trust is a funny thing.

Some people won’t trust anything they have to pay for. Other people distrust anything that has the word Free attached to it.

Here’s the thing about that…

Free Is Never Really Free

As in, everyone has an ulterior motive. I don’t care who they are, or what they are doing, everyone gets something for what they spend their time doing.

It doesn’t matter whether that something is money or not. Someone might just want to become the “It” girl for small business IT. Why?

Because things happen after that. Doors get opened. Opportunities, good or not, arise. 

I’ll tell you this…

The more someone screams about how independent they are, the more likely it is that they are being comped somehow, somewhere, by somebody. And they are desperately worried that fact will be revealed.

The wizard never wants you to look behind the curtain. Because all you’ll see is one guy, overworked and paranoid, desperately trying to be something more than he really is…

But they do have something you haven't got...an MVLS!

Which is a humbug.

  3. Kudos on picking the most copied ISP image on the Internet :)

    Thats the beauty of PR.. Who is to say where PR starts and outright lying begins. I suppose the jury of your peers but we all know most these suckers will go under long before they cause THAT level of damage :)
