This is interesting, and a perfect example of the phenomena I expose people to on my course ('scuse blatant plug).
A quick browse of my site will show you that I am firmly of the opinion that ''Your Training Is Not Enough''...that ''success'' (however one defines it) has as much to do with HOW you market and brand yourself as it does one's actual skill level. This is why I expose people to The Method, because ''being'' a trainer doesn't automatically confer great marketing ability, and it IS a shame when those with superior skills miss-out to those without, and it is not luck. Equally it IS a shame that newly certified's never even get their foot on the rung in spite of excellent training.

getting there (whever ''there'' is for you) is something that I have mechanised and that just works...

...damn shame I didn't consult with those guys - missed that one! ;-)

as ever...I am always on the phone for the curious and the searchers.
