Forbes contributor Michael Schein makes a sarcastic(?) case as to why we should all be more like Dilbert creator Scott Adams.
From the piece:
Follow his (Adams’) example. Pinpoint an area in which you’ve already had some success, even if it’s unrelated to your core business. Then, make the case that your success in that area makes you the perfect person to give advice in a more lucrative realm. You’ll be amazed at how often people will fork over money for your words of wisdom without questioning where you got it from.
