AskDwayne About....What's It Worth?
Guest Author - Stephanie L. Ogle

Contributing writer: Dwayne Pressley

As I sit here typing this article, I can't help but remember why I got into this industry (for that matter, the reason why I got into doing online hair consultant work) and that was to help as many people as I could, establish and maintain healthy hair.

AskDwayne.com

I have observed women with unhealthy hair, men loosing hair at an alarming
rate, and people spending record amounts of money on inferior haircare
products, spinning their wheels...and getting nowhere.

Even though I have given seminars, educated clients, and established a place online for people to come and gather the information they need to get the results they are looking for... sometimes I feel that I am running a race up-hill. Even though the website is less than a year old, there have been times when I felt that the message I was trying to convey, was just not getting through. I was wondering if anybody was listening, and even worse...if they were "feeling" me.

Soon after I established a "presence" online, I received an offer from a
company to buy my website. Now, at the time I felt that this may be the best thing to do.

I thought and thought about it and prayed and prayed about it. Then it hit
me...nobody can do the thing like I can...Nobody! I don't think they were as dedicated, motivated and passionate to help people out, as I was.

They were corporate. I was street. I lived and breathed this stuff. This was how I made my bread and butter. How I fed myself and how I wanted to be remembered by the world...as a servant.

Since I wasn't controlled by any corporation, I could give it to the public straight, no chaser! I was nobody's puppet!

It took me sitting in a room alone, with just my thoughts and God to figure out what this means to me...what it is really worth to me.

So I got focused and good things started to happen.

I wanted to help as many people as I possibly could.

I commend all of those that have subscribed to my site. I commend all of those that ask questions, but I reverence those that take action! Many times people let me know how valuable the advise I gave to them was. Lots have seen vast improvement. As long as this site is up and running, I will do my part (providing you with outstanding information).

For those that really desire change, and just don't want to come and ask
questions but want the results....what's it worth?

If you ask questions and fail to follow my recommendations, you have successfully wasted my time and yours! In this case my advise, and time, were worthless. If you follow the advise and get the results you were looking for, more than likely you will look and feel like a million bucks! In this case my advise was worth a million (cash only please, no checks, LOL).

If you want to ask questions or converse, I'll be in touch. If you want to
make changes...I'll be of assistance! But before you decide to get in contact with me ask yourself...what's it worth?
