Tips for the Beggar on Consulting Obstacles

Tips for the beggar on how to deal with business obstacles (i.e., that annoying/nagging boss, clients, etc.?)

I found this SPAM LINK , but it doesn't explain much past the basics - can you guys delve further?

Mod note: If you are going to post links to your blog, please do not be disingenuous about it. You have been warned! -IlliniProgrammer

FRJ, thanks for the catch. If LegendaryMike is the blog owner or even a promoter of it, WSO does allow users (such as oilprice) to post articles and link back to their blogs.

Regardless, making 15 original posts, all of which are centered around a link to a consulting blog, amounts to a disingenuous form of spam per-se, regardless of whether LegendaryMike is the blog owner, a paid promoter, a friend of the blogger, or just happens to be completely obsessed with it.

Just saw this. We are in the process of writing much more extensive user guidelines so that our moderators (like Illini) can be more aggressive deleting the content of users like this (and tracking problem users more consistently so that I can make more frequent bans to keep the site cleaner).

Thanks to all our moderators for working with our current somewhat inefficient system. It will get much easier soon.
