First of all, HOORAY for feeling much much better! Shoot me an email this weekend if you have time – I’d love to hear an update. Second, if stuff is free people don’t take it seriously and they also doubt that it works. Like, if it’s free it must not be good. It’s just so true. I did a bunch of free consultations when I was an intern and even right after I graduated and 95% of the people didn’t follow my recommendations. When I started charging people, they took it more seriously and had much better follow through. Interesting place we live in. When I went to India, we had people lined up out the door, hanging out outside ALL day to meet with the doctors for free. And those people TOOK their medicine and were so grateful.

HA! This would be good for you, since I feel MUCH MUCH better after our mini-bud 10 days ago. But boy…what if you had a client that just didn’t follow your advice? Did you see the news yesterday about people not taking their medication even when it was given to them for FREE?
