But let me tell you something.
Take all the teachers, guidance counselors, therapists, psychologists, social workers, or whatever other fake "professionals" are out there who claim they want to "change lives"
tally up all the lives they changed FOR THE BETTER
and Asshole Consulting has ten times the amount of lives improved than all those industries combined.
Truth and reality are the only treatments for whatever problems ail you. Not lies or deceit. So when I receive a thank you letter like I did below, not only do I feel proud that I actually CHANGED A LIFE FOR THE BETTER (something teachers never experience), but I am supremely confident in Asshole Consulting and the truth are valuable services and commodities the world desperately needs.
"Hello Aaron,
I would like to first and foremost thank you for all the content that you release with your videos, books, etc. You have helped me a lot in my life. I would like to share with you my success story and if you want to share with the fellow asshole community you can. I'm emailing now because I just got offered a job after years of hard work. I got my undergrad in Biology/Pre-Physician Assistant from a local university. I graduated debt free. With some scholarships I was able to pay for PA school and also graduate DEBT FREE. I just now got offered a job for $102,000 at a hospital. I'm working only 36 hours a week with weekends off.... 3;12 hour shifts. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday shifts. So I will always have a 3 day weekend! Shift is 6:30am-7:00pm! This is a dream schedule of mine and I am fortunate enough to obtain it. I can work overtime if need be.
Anyway, I just wanted to motivate other listeners to kick ass and take names!!!! Work your ass off and enjoy what comes next! Only easier from here. I'm so glad I'm not a doctor working 80 hours a week or a nurse doing randomized shift work. PA is an amazing career and is by far the best medical profession.
I am 27 almost 28 years old... I took a gap year after high school to work and travel. started university at 19, finished undergrad at 23... started PA school at 24.5 because I took another gap year to work in hospitals and did some more traveling.
Thank you Aaron for all your motivation!!! If it wasn't for you I would have pursued some worthless degree."
Wow that is amazing!!!! Good work Aaron
ReplyDeleteIn line with this post, let me also thank you, Aaron, for helping me re-direct my daughter away from an undefined college degree path and towards something that fits her much better. This fall, my daughter starts a semester long outdoor survival course in the mountains of North Carolina. She will be sleeping outside in November and December, while taking several courses on wilderness survival, rescue training (such as "swiftwater rescue"), and wilderness navigation. In addition to the obvious camping, hiking, swimming and whitewater rafting. Your books & videos helped me lead her to seek out adventure and human contact above and before the pursuit of a degree of questionable value. I don't know if this is the start of a career (from here; forest firefighting, wilderness rescuer, forest ranger, etc are possibilities) or just an unusual gap year; but I do know that even her mother agrees that this is just her thing. Thank you for being such a blunt & honest asshole to my daughter.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had met someone like Aaron when I was a much younger man in my 20's, instead of my 40's.
ReplyDeleteBut, better late than never, I guess.
