I had the same attitude once too. I'll never forget the moment it hit me like a rock. I worked for Dating Factory at the time, and my new boss wanted to go to a dating seminar. I thought to myself "What the fuck for?" because I thought I knew everything. During the question and answer session I noticed everyone in the room was asking questions from the affiliate perspective... Because nearly everyone in the room was an affiliate. Forty-five minutes sitting through a seminar and a half hour of meeting people who attended the seminar paid for my trip multiple times over. I've been in the industry for over twenty years and thought I knew everything, yet here was a huge pool of affiliates that I was overlooking.

No one in the industry should have the attitude that they "know it all".
