I don’t think many other ponies did that, or his fame as a troblemaker would have preceded him.Like, say, the Flim Flam brothers? They seem to pull all kinds of stunts on the unsuspecting public all the time. But ponies are forgetful, and don’t generally make a huge deal out of these things. Even world-shaking events are quickly ignored with them.
That kind of charlatans usually want to be paid in advance and don’t offer the chance of a refund. That’s not what Iron Will does.Not true. Thousands of would-be Napoleon Hill clones have made plenty of money in what is technically an honest way.
And she behaved quite… oddly, to say the least. She even locked herself inside her house, not giving any notice to Iron Will.She wasn’t obligated to tell him anything. As far as we know, Iron Will always makes house calls to collect his fees.
What he does is improving the assertiveness. Making money is a direct consequence. Achieve the former, also achieve the latter.

>And his intention is to improve the others’ assertiveness, nothing else. Fluttershy apparently took it in the wrong way, so that’s mainly her problem. The “new” Fluttershy indeed is the sole antagonist.
You are so very, very mistaken. His intention was to make money, how could you miss that.
Fluttershy followed his instructions at every turn, and it was all terrible advice. She didn’t take anything in the wrong way, that is so ridiculous.
>You may argue that it’s because of Will’s teachings, but if they were a common problem, then Iron Will wouldn’t have been the successful motivator he seems to be.
Are you serious? Hustlers like him get successful all the time. The “self-help” industry is rife with examples of highly profitable authors who are, in essence, ripping off their customers with a lousy product.
>He gave up on being paid because of his own crystal clear rules. Running a business also means staying loyal to your contracts. You don’t want to risk to be considered an unreliable contractor.
And there’s also the whole getting sued or arrested problem to worry about.
>Sure, many might have not responded because they remained timid ponies, but we have no clues about it.
Other than the fact that we clearly saw that he threatens ponies who even hint at being unwilling to pay him.
