People changing their businesses
Anyhow, some others who I had met networking had XYZ business in DFG industry, then 1 year later they had GHJ business in EFG industry, a year later they have WXY business in HJK industry.
This shows up via Linked In when people change their occupation description.
why don't they just admit they didn't make it work .
They've gone from being an expert(!!??) in one field, to an expert(!!??) in another field and so on, others who network with them meet like know grow to trust them, these people are now put up as speakers at events where they are deemed experts at their third industry.
These people stay more often within the comfort of the original lower level network meets where people know them, accept they change (as we all do) but also seem to accept theyre experts again at something different!
I'm like WTF
OK we all need to change sometimes and doing so isn't a failure, but please don't BS and position as knowledgeable or expert in your third field when it's crystal clear your previous two escapades didn't work as you weren't as expert as you said you were else you'd likely still be in them rather than jumping ship and changing tack.
Occasionally these people come to a higher level event as a one off. Yet people, seemingly unaware , still lap up the stuff these people are saying, until that is I interject and ask a deep knowledge from experience question to them , one that they'd really only know if they honestly experienced it, and surely they must have to be an expert, and as they crumble, I answer my own question, WTF get outta here fake.................
Onto their 4th business..............................
This isn't knocking change or being brave enough to move on if something isn't working, far from it, it's just be more honest , you ain't an expert, you're barely even knowledgeable in your field. Chasing the next shiny object isn't for the win
