I prefer to focus on the positive because the negative is usually irrelevant as the value of a person's work or a course like this is in the good it brings. And I believe this course brings much good to the table immediately so that even if a person wants to write a book or website or develop a business without buying into the product per se, they should be enriched by the advertisement. You bring to the table specific suggestions and more or less a specific plan which if followed should help a person succeed provided they can do it on their own. And like you said, for some, that is the better way to go. But the kicker smacks of what it was probably intended to be--a high pressured, reverse psychology claim that if you're *really* committed, that if you *really* want to do something great for the world, money will not be an object and you will throw away all wisdom and run to every relative and friend and risk wrecking relationships just to be successful in this endeavor, and this starts by sending you whatever amount of money you decide to ask for later. You must *believe* in it and in yourself. Another thing that bothered me was the underlying insinuation, or nearly blatant implication that this would be a hostile work environment for a straight male WASP, which except for the Protestant part describes me. To discriminate against people in that demographic to me would be akin to bathrooms and drinking fountains labeled "for white only" or "for colored people only". Yet many professors in university English departments seem to be hired for the purpose of forcing that kind of bigotry onto everyone who would want to graduate or pass their required general education courses with a decent grade. And they will win their arguments with some, and write off and hate and reject the others seeking to destroy them. To me, that's not inclusive or loving. The frequent use of F-bombs seems to be a micro-agression with an underlying message of "This is not for you, Christians". It's like posting a sign saying "No Kikes or Niggers or Honkeys or Chinks Allowed". I know many people of my color and gender have become accustomed to apologizing. We apologize for being white. For being male. For being straight. Or for having a religion that doesn't believe in practicing homosexuality. It's ok not to believe in eating pork or drinking coffee or anything else, but sexual orientations MUST be protected as though each were an endangered species, and as though people could actually be born while performing the acts by which those orientations would be defined. It is not so much that the beliefs proffered are utterly irrational, but that the hatred, the violation of free speech, the violation of freedom of religion, the intolerance for a different opinion regardless of whether it actually results in real hatred or real abuse or whether it is embraced with respect and love for those with different beliefs and values, the fact there is a difference cannot be tolerated. And if there is intolerance for the rights to believe different or the right to be male or the right to be born white, then I find it difficult to recommend the course even if much about it is wonderful and to be appreciated greatly. I do hope this will be helpful to you though.
