mattsbeachhouse, your post would be helpful to someone just starting out. But those guys...let's face it, aren't gonna be running a program anytime soon anyway.
You make some great points. But I have to tell you that everyone that is anyone has already thought those same thoughts long time ago.
As The Beatles sang on all you need is love: "Nothing you can do, that can't be done. Nothing you can sing that can't be sung."
A LOT smarter guys than me or you already know how this so-called "industry" works.
Of course the strippers in Porn Valley are never gonna listen to anybody. You're right about that. Nothing can be done about it. They won't listen to you either.
And for the bigger companies (you mentioned NA for instance) changing their business model is very difficult. Too much at stake for them to do things quickly.
Unlike small guys like me. I've already done just about everything you said in your post. And so have all the successful people.
The only people you hear crying the blues are the ones who...well, let's just say they may or may not make it. Chances of them taking advice from someone who's never run a program are slim and none.
So yes, you DID waste your time. Not because you are neccessarily wrong.
But to analagize it...you just walked into a carpenters union and told us how we don't know how to make furniture. And turns out you're a plumber. It won't work.
