Yes

    (FB 1550972139 Timestamp) YES, SALES IS BEST, AND THE EXECUTIVE PATH, BUT… -“CURT (Career Advice): Sales is the upper limit for earning but it is especially NPC heavy, where the better salesman are either NPCs, or front so well as them it is indistinguishable.”- This isn’t really true. The more risk you are mitigating with your sale, the less being an NPC (likable) is valuable. Conversely, the less substantial your sale, the more ‘likability’ is what the consumer is purchasing. I sold every expensive high risk propositions and delivered greater customer service than the competition, with less concern for profit, and more concern for customer retention. But I am a closer. I don’t ‘originate’ sales. I don’t have the personality for it. I hire people who do. So your personality must satisfy the criteria: origination (likability), or winning a competition (skill), or holding an income stream (customer care.). You must sell what you are best at selling.

    (FB 1551188122 Timestamp) MORE COURSES I have to demonstrate the success of a few courses before I can get others to invest. The average person has no idea how difficult it is to put together any of the series: a presentation, a workshop, a training program, or a course. A course requires 45 hours of presentation and 90 hours of outside ‘work’. Because of the online format we can offer a range of 6(90hrs), 3(45hrs), 2(30hrs), 1(15hrs), .5(8 hrs), and .25(4hrs) credit courses – and bundle various small courses into a larger ‘collection’. The same is for topics. By creating topics we can combine topics across courses for cross training. Personally this is the most rewarding work I have ever done. And the idea that people can more easily access the work and do so in a community format is thrilling. We’re slow but we get there.

But we don’t’ sell P, we sell application of p, any more than we sell programming languages rather than programs that do stuff. P serves as a programming language for social orders.
