Not All ___ Are Created Equal

I must say that, as a strength coach, it kind of bugs the shit out of me when people pretty much assume that all trainers are the same. I mean, you're just lifting weights and running, right? Well, are all accountants the same? Are all mechanics the same? Are all teachers the same? NO! Admittedly, I'm sure people in those professions get just as pissed off about it. The great mechanic who has trouble getting business because his prices are higher, while people take their cars to the Jiffy Lube down the street (no knock on Jiffy Lube, I'm sure there are some fine mechanics that work there). But the fact remains, that if you truly want the best work done, you have to seek out the best. Sure, it will take some work, but if you're not willing to invest the time and energy, then be willing to settle for less than the best. There isn't anything wrong with that, by the way. Want a quick oil change with little hassle? Take it to the cheapest, fastest place. Want something drycleaned quick and easy? I'm sure there are places that can handle that. But don't be mad if you don't get the result you wanted. Alwyn Cosgrove put it best (and I'm probably going to butcher the quote), "People want fast, effective, and cheap. I can give you 2 out of 3. It can be fast and effective, but it won't be cheap. It can be effective and cheap, but it won't be fast. Or it can be fast and cheap, but it won't be very effective."
