4. Be brutally honest ( I hate sugar coating anything)
I hope this helps.
Excellent, means I don't have to sugarcoat it.
Being on the other side, I'm usually put off by an instructor that "blows his own horn". My reaction is that he is doing it because nobody else is. I realize that may not be fair, and that competition stateside probably is a lot tougher than here in Sweden.
There is a TGM instructor by the name Brian Manzella (little unsure about spelling) that very much blows his own horn. Now, he may very well be a fantastic teacher. I don't know. Because I tune out when the self-promotion begins. That message seems more important to him than the contents of his teaching. Again, I realize that it may not be a fair assessment, but being in the situation you tend to react with your gut.

My point about self promotion was simply from a marketing standpoint, simply to get people in the door. Once there I think humility is important. Saying you are right and better than everyone else gets old quick. Sorry if I mislead you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, U.S. Poet, essayist and transcendentalist (1803-1882)
• My chief want in life is someone who shall make me do what I can.
• Let us treat men and women well; treat them as if they were real. Perhaps they are.
• Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.
• I trust a good deal to common fame, as we all must. If a man has good corn, or wood, or boards, or pigs to sell, or can make better chairs or knives, crucibles or church organs than anybody else, you will find a broad hard-beaten road to his house, though it be in the woods.
