What you’re suggesting sounds great of course! But where do you suppose these experts in their fields will come from? I’m a professional designer or 13 years with my own business, and I also run my partners business four days a week as well. To get into this forum every day on and off can be extremely time consuming thing for me. PLUS I am giving out FREE information to you all that normally costs my clients $88.00 per hour as a consultation! Who do you suppose will pay us for our time to be here to answer questions all day long, at no charge? Perfectly Stated Michelle, To be honest, I've learned more in here from people who have gone through the trials and tribulations of "doing it themselves" than I have from the professionals. That's not to say that the experts aren't helpful, quite the contrary, but people who have done their own thing tend to talk without using all the 'jargon' used by the experts...makes it a bit easier to understand Without all the little things I have picked up from the 'amateurs' I think I would have struggled a bit with the bathroom reno. Also I have read some GREAT information and feed back from the people in here to each other. I think everyone is pulling together really well, and supply each other with excellent information. This is a public forum; it does not promote itself as being the be all and end all of information givers. After all…..you are getting it for free…??? If all you can see are obstacles, you have lost sight of the goals Re: Suggesting Ask the Experts [Done] 10Apr 22, 2007 10:36 am What you’re suggesting sounds great of course!
Thanks - so let's do it... But where do you suppose these experts in their fields will come from? I’m a professional designer or 13 years with my own business, and I also run my partners business four days a week as well. Me too - 20 yrs in General Management of large companies... 2 businesses and a family. To get into this forum every day on and off can be extremely time consuming thing for me. PLUS I am giving out FREE information to you all that normally costs my clients $88.00 per hour as a consultation! You already do enough Michelle - it's not about the people here it's about making this a place where more people come to find answers and more people give answers - not more time from the few. Who do you suppose will pay us for our time to be here to answer questions all day long, at no charge? I expect that people would derive satisfaction and some business opportunities... you get to show your business credentials here and that is good free promotion - if more people visited your exposure would be much greater. ..... After all…..you are getting it for free…??? And I thank you!!! I also give.... I totally agree with everything you have written. Thanks again for your always excellent input and advice. I really enjoy reading your posts cheers Simeon 1 3109 I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 9618 Ardo That is so funny!
