Easy Expertise! Concept 1 - Start Now, Here"s How!
Here you are, an expert in search of how to be taken seriously as an expert.
No matter who you are, you wouldn't be here if you actually were taken seriously as an expert in your field.
Were you in that situation, you wouldn't need to go to the Internet to learn how.
And, obviously, had you actually taken the time to become the kind of expert that people listen to (let alone pay!), you wouldn't be here either.
So now that we're getting real, let's put it into more direct terms: You've come here to find the shortcut.
Well, if the truth be known, there is no shortcut.
It's going to take ten simple concepts.
Why? Because the first step in establishing yourself as an expert in any field is that you must be able to coalesce everything you know about the field you're in (or the field that you want to convince others that you are an expert in) into Ten Simple Concepts.
Why? People already think whatever they're trying to do is too hard or they wouldn't be looking for an expert to show them how simple it all is.
After all, that's why they're called expert - they've got it figured out.
The seekers can't figure it out.
Otherwise they wouldn't be so lost and in need of an expert to guide them.
They're looking for the kind of guidance that comes from years of back-breaking work in figuring out all the angles because that's a hell of a lot easier than investing years of their own lives figuring out the angles.
So they turn to an expert Look at yourself.
You've got the knowledge and experience, but don't have a clue.
So you've come here for the simple answer.
You are here because I've established myself as an expert by having Ten Simple Concepts that help you to become an expert.
See how it works? Chances are, you're making things so damned difficult for yourself anyway nobody'd be turning to you for advice.
Instead of figuring out a simple way to convince people you actually know what you're talking about, you're looking here for a shortcut.
And that's why the Ten Simple Concepts.
An expert knows the shortcuts.
Even if there aren't any, he or she makes it sound like there are.
Look at what I'm doing? There's obviously no real easy way you can establish yourself as an expert, but convinced that I actually may have stumbled upon it, you'll read this whole series.
And you'll love it and learn important stuff because the one thing that Ten Simple Concepts teaches you is that no matter how dismal the future seems, there's somebody out there that can come up with a simple path to make it seem better.
If they can do that, so can you.
The very fact that I've distilled the process into Ten Simple Concepts means, in your eyes, I'm the expert.
That's enough for you, why not most people? Hell, lookit what God did with the Commandments! So, please, don't waste any more time here.
Sit down and write up something that shows me I can know everything you know if I just follow the Ten Simple Concepts that you've spent your whole life learning.
