Welcome to my rant about why I hate Tim Brownson.
Now if you are jumping up and down, salivating and waiting for me to do a screaming flaming troll job on him… you will be bitterly disappointed… I’m just not that sort of person.
Firstly the disclaimer….
1) I have never met Tim Brownson
2) I have only ever had a few personal exchanges with him at his website, email or on twitter (and those exchanges are always fun!)
3) I have received NO money from Tim, and he has received NONE from me (although the bugger has been trying)
What does this Tim Brownson fellow do?
Tim puts himself out there as a life coach who provides self development with a sense of humour…. and he delivers.
Tim is not afraid to take the piss out of himself (or his industry).
The cartoons that accompany his posts are always interesting (although sometimes I look at the cartoon and think OH NO where is this post going).
Tim makes your brain explode out your ears, rips your heart out through your mouth all at the same time that you are giving yourself a kick in the arse…. and that takes some serious gymnastics.
and believe it or not he does this in more places than one…. not only will you find him at a daring adventure but at how to be rich and happy as well.
He made me offer to be a goose!
Tim made an offer of some free life coaching (not to me…but via the HTBRH site) and I couldn’t resist… I sent him the email telling him why he should pick me as the recipient of the golden ticket to his own Willy Wonka offer… and you know what the rude bugger did…. he said he cancelled the offer because MY (alright…ALL) of the applications he received were below par….. but he also offered a tantalising tale to go along with his recanting of his offer that was really part two of the application process for those that were prepared to read between the lines.
So….. because I thought I was clever and could read between the lines I sent him my application part 2 and offered to do a whole bunch of things that would have made me look like a goose, but would have provided Tim with some additional value as part of the transaction.
AND…. you know what he had the hide to do….. knock me back again!
He turned me into a murderous stalker!
Tim offered up his list of LUCKY people to receive his generous offer and I was not on the list. So after a few funny exchanges by email…. I was left with only one option…… to become a murderous stalker.
I told Tim that I had a solution that would work for us both…. he added me onto the list as a reserve… and I would hunt down and kill and the people at the top of the list. I even played on the fact that I KNOW Tim values the well being of his clients and he wouldn’t want any harm done to them.
BUT… you know what his reply was….. “let the homicidal rampage begin mate! Looking forward to seeing you ritually decapitate someone online”…….the BASTARD… he called my bluff…
AND. . just to rub salt into the wound he told me I could just pay him loads of money for some coaching and avoid butchering people.
What is a SANE man to do?
If I was sane, I could probably answer that question! So I told Tim, I’m not opposed to or unwilling to pay him my hard earned cash for the quality coaching I know I would get…. but that just doesn’t have the same challenge in it, as getting him to do it PRO BONO!
So why the bloody hell do I hate him?
I hate Tim because he is so bloody good at what he does!
Does that sound crazy?
It shouldn’t.
The unfinished challenge…..
Dear readers…….Just admitting that Tim is good at what he does and going off and paying him his rightful dues to provide me a service would be admitting defeat…..!
So the challenge remains to convince TIM that he should be providing me with some free life coaching, and this is where you come in…. Leave a comment below with your reasons why TIM should provide ME with free life coaching… …. I promise to deliver these to Tim as part of the next offensive….

The answer is simple Mick. Tim should provide you with some free coaching because it is clear that you really need it!! ; )

Very good Mick and I know the feeling of jokingly hating someone because they are just so god damn good at what they do lol!
Dude,
You just gotta put your hand in your pocket and pay for it
I’ve done coaching with Tim – it’s awesome and the Return on Investment in my case was staggering.
Although, admittedly, I love your style. Maybe the lesson to learn here (if you DON’T blag your free coaching) is to THROW yourself into these sort of things in the first place.
Think, if you’d done what you did on the second attempt FIRST, you’d have free coaching, and be a happy bunny.
Go big on the first try dude!!
Thanks Carl, you’re right there was definitely a learning process already. I have NO doubt how much value Tim could deliver to me, and as I said I am not against paying him… he just happened to set up a pretty interesting challenge! and for some reason I just love a challenge!
thanks for dropping by with a comment!
Just doing my part to help you out, Mick.

Your heard him Tim…….don’t let the Bunny suffer….
WHAT?! I’d heard about some these antics that Tim tries to pull off and he ticks me off too. I’ve heard how good he is. I’ve read his good advice at his various sites. I’ve rolled my eyes at his funny…er idiotic cartoons. I’ve seen how he’s trying to change the world – or at least a million people in it – with his frigging good deeds. That Bastard!
And now to pull this! On you! An innocent coach seeking dupe who doesn’t know any better because Tim has cast his damned spell over you. But to lead people on, to play his dastardly NLR BS games with people is just too much. It’s time Tim pays the piper and coughs up his services…and I have an evil plan to help you!
You tell that SOB that he’d better sign you up with those other fools he’s taken on or you will not only become a murderous stalker, you’ll do it publicly. That’s right. You heard me. Tell him you’ll document every damned step of the process of your work with him on a public blog. That’ll drive more idiots…er, I mean helpless people who like having their heads screwed with to his site than he’ll ever be able to manage. The drama alone will up surely cause some dimwits to sign on to actually PAY him once they see your magical transformation! He’ll get his jollies off then, damn it.
PS All in good fun…And Tim, if you read this? Stop give this guy a break, jail time excluded after aforementioned homicidal mania, he at least deserves to be entertained while he’s in prison. And if he’s willing to go to these lengths, imagine what other crazy thing you’ll get him to do. Now sign him up, or I’m wiring your fridge to give you an electrical shock every time you open the door.
Wulfie…THANK YOU! I did warn Tim that I was sharpening the knives and checking supplies of ammo… but I like your fridge idea!
