Tell you what: I'll cut your costs in half!
For $500, _I'll_ come and teach you about bulleted lists and breaking information into logical, digestible chunks. And it'll only take me an hour!
But please, don't call it common sense. Call it "information mapping" - that's the only way I can charge money for it. After all, who would pay money for a seminar on "common sense" or "the stuff you'd normally do anyway"?

You hit the nail on the head. IM is based on sound, sensible principles, which were around long before somebody slapped a "TM" on it and started charging for it.
Save your money.
