This Is My Blog, Not a Lesson Plan
Let’s get one thing straight: this is my blog. Not Dara’s carefully curated educational content (which is really good by the way). Not an article. Not a continuing ed course. This space isn’t here to teach, it’s here to call it like it is.
There’s a big difference between a personal blog, an educational blog, and a published article:
✔ An article is polished, neutral, and written to inform.
✔ An educational blog is structured, factual, and built to teach.
✔ This blog? It’s mine. It's raw, it's real, and it’s written to ruffle feathers—because someone has to say the things no one else will.
And let me make one more thing perfectly clear:
My education is for my students and the certified members of the IAPEG.
They’re the ones who’ve earned it. They’re the ones investing in their future and doing the work to improve this industry.
You want education? You can have it. But you won’t find it here for free wrapped in a pretty blog post.
This blog is where I speak the truth, unfiltered. If you want professional growth, IAPEG is open. But if you're just here for free tips and warm fuzzies, keep scrolling.
My Thank You Post – Keep Hating, You’re Fueling the Fire
Oh, last week’s blog? It hit harder than most of you expected. And while some of you clutched your pearls and gasped, “How unprofessional!” and “Oh my, the DRAMA!”—I was watching the numbers climb.
Just in case you want to dispute the numbers.
📈 322,700+ views
📈 13,500+ visits
📈 8,000+ link clicks
📈 431 new followers (the baggage left, all 509, good riddance)
📈 Applications still rolling in
📈 Memberships UP
So here’s a real heartfelt thank you to all of you who shared, screamed, dragged, and screen-shotted.
You thought you were calling me out? Nah, you called the right people in.
Because while you were bashing me in comment threads in private and hidden FB Groups like Fight Club, Pro Groomer and Town Hall (something like that and whatever that means), tagging your clique for outrage, the professionals, the ones who actually care, showed up. My wonderful Little Bats are all over, watching, circling and reporting.
The email and FB message support, yes, it came…They read it. They got it. And now? They’re in.
So keep the drama coming.
Keep flooding Facebook with my words.
Keep pretending to be offended while secretly reading every damn post.
Because every angry share, every sarcastic “Can you believe this?”
It’s feeding the mission. It’s growing the movement. It’s building the standard.
💅 I’ll be over here with my Dr. Evil grin and watching. Thank you very much.
And just know, this was only the beginning.
This is Bullet. And I’m just getting warmed up.
