Very, very true. I have a friend I met at a course, Dale Carnegie Skills for Success. He started telling me about his business (which is actually just World Financial Group) and just to be open-minded and for the sake of friendship I humored him, went to one of their meetings, opened up an RRSP through him. Holy **** do I regret that. Finally meeting up with him today at lunch to cancel some things, but it wasn't easy.
One of the biggest lessons that Dale Carnegie can teach you, is "A person convinced against their will, is of the same opinion still." He just doesn't get that.
