Might have to frame this comment:
“Ben you come off too abrasive in your emails sometimes. It kind of intimidates me lol you should not be so confrontational and abrasive for those of us who are put off by it Think about it.”
Well aren’t you a delicate little snowflake?
Listen, when I want your opinion I’ll beat it out of you…
Heh.
Anyway, to answer the question:
No.
If anything I’m probably not pushing hard enough. I WANT to scare away people who are easily shocked and offended. My whole thing is to repel people who need hand holding to implement what I teach, permission from their wives to buy what I sell, or to be coddled by ever-extending “free lines” of freebies before *maybe* getting around to doing something to solve their problems.
In other words…
I hunt blood thirsty tigers and bears.
Not timid little bunnies and chipmunks.
The ferocious beasts I hunt have lives to live.
Goals to attain.
And, battles to conquer in life.
The bunnies and chipmunks are the opposite.
They’re scared.
Afraid to make a move.
And, often plagued with analysis paralysis and fear of failure (or of what others will think about them).
Now, I ask you:
Which kind of customers would you prefer?
Those aggressive about solving the problem your product solves? Or those who meekly tip toe around suffering and drama queening never taking action or doing anything to better their lives?
My ways still catch some bunnies and chipmunks.
But, I always throw them back.
(By refusing their purchase or firing them as customers).
I don’t even bother with ’em.
Hey, if you want to waste your time hunting milquetoast bunnies and chipmunks, scraping by licking peoples’ boots (who have zero intention of buying) and working like a mule to please them lest you scare them away… there are plenty of other people to learn from.
But if you want to hunt the snarling wild beasts?
The ones aggressively seeking solutions?
Then I’m your huckleberry.
I can take you into the jungle, show you the tools and techniques for getting your products in your market’s hands (so they can improve their lives) and get paid handsomely for doing it.

Anyway, here’s the irony of all this:
Approaching business this way actually inspires trust.
Maybe people won’t like you.
But, they’ll trust you.
And, yes, buy from you.
And, in tomorrow’s “Ben Settle Show”, I show you why.
(And how to do it yourself.)
Stay tuned, amigo.
It posts tomorrow, watch for my email.
