Value that Sherlocking Offers!

In a market obsessed with content bombardment my philosophy has always been simple. An excess of information leads to a poverty of attention.

My offering is a time saving process which gets you the best shot, my support and a process which will make you independent moving forward.

What I bring to the table is summarised in this parable:

""A giant ship engine failed. The ship’s owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine.

Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a young. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.

Two of the ship’s owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed!

A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars.

“What?!” the owners exclaimed. “He hardly did anything!”

So they wrote the old man a note saying, “Please send us an itemized bill.

The man sent a bill that read:

Tapping with a hammer………………….. $ 2.00

Knowing where to tap…………………….. $ 9,998.00
"

Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort makes all the difference!

I'll shortly release the details of the Sherlocking Mains and Sherlocking Ethics module which have been designed on the aforementioned philosophy!

This Internal Security Video is a good primer on how the Mains course would look like. The actual course would be more exhaustive, effective and covering more deliverables, as discussed in the post, than this, but basic approach would be similar!
