I met a number of associates and business people last week. Some of them are tough negotiators. It helps to know they need me more than I need them this time around so it hasn’t been that difficult to get what I want.
But there is one breed of businesspeople I find hard to figure out. They like to fashion themselves as gurus, passing unflattering comments about how messed up this business is or that business is. They’re so smart they can tell you why a business is failing by just asking you 2 or 3 questions. That is, until you understand where they are financially.
What do you call someone who’s struggling to break even after 6 years in operation and talks like he knows the secrets to running a successful business?
The same thing you’d call a guy who thinks he has all the answers to relationship problems and yet struggles with his own marriage?
I dunno but there seems to be many emperors running around without clothes on. Hilarious isn’t it. 
I too see this all the time. People want to feel special I guess.
Hi Kay, its not that hard to see through it and it can become rather embarrassing for the partner unfortunately.
