Sometimes it’s easier to just “piss” and give up. .

{name}

Man, I’ll never forget the day I saw a sign on a Chinese senior managers desk with a little boy pissing out the words “sometimes its easier to just piss and give up”.

Or something to that effect, as Uncle Bob told me – those were before the days of the dumbphone, so I don’t have the exact sign to show yall – it’s there in my mind though.

People these days, man.

By giving up I dont mean literally giving up or even close. No.

I simply mean cutting people out of your life that don’t value you, don’t need to be there – folks you do all you can to help – unfortunately, the old sales adage of “one concession leads to the other” holds very true and people will just take advantage of you for the most part if you deviate from your principles and try and honestly help them.

It’s been a hard and fast biz rule of mine to keep my prices high. For obvious reasons – I’ve mentioned those in the past before and they do not need to be repeated here.

In short – that policy keeps wankers, freebie seekers and other lookie lou sorts at arms length and that’s exactly how I prefer it. I’d rather focus on the four quarters than the 100 pennies if you get my drift.

At the same time Ive always also had an unwritten policy of bending over backwards to help true doers as far as possible – if not more.

Over the past few months, even that has spectacularly backfired, although it might not seem like it to the casual onlooker.

And it’s making me sick to be frank.

People that are always so called too busy to get back to you. People that you work with on price – THEIR stated price – and yet they get back complaining about a few extra bucks on the bill. I mean, really, what nut complains about an extra $6- completely unintentional by the way – I can’t help that the PayPal currency conversion algorithm screws up occasionally!

What can you even do with $6 these days? Two cups of coffee if even that…?

Jokers that need their “woman’s permission” to make a purchase but never vice versa…??? Equality?? Anyone?? Logic? Anyone???

People that promise something, never do it – for years. People you try and help the best you can – yet they never reply to you or even appreciate the help you give them. Something as simple as a video review taking years to do if at all??? I’m sorry, but I simply cannot fathom how any of that is true…

All of these things aren’t new to me in terms of biz , hence my long standing policies of high prices, no refunds etc- none of that has changed or will change anytime in the future.

But what will change now is my policy of helping people that need it – since apparently even this bunch has become “entitled” and don’t really want to take any action towards their goals.

Really, if so called financial problems persist for years, yet your always here on the site”for the free stuff”, yet won’t give me an answer on what price works for you – and when you do, and I agree to work with you on YOUR price, you make every excuse to delay doing the thing then I’m sorry, but there is a massive disconnect occuring somewhere.

People seem to have this idea that business is “free” to run. Usually it’s these people that have never ever done any sort of real biz themselves in my life.

Ask these people what product they want next – crickets. Ask them to leave reviews – crickets. Yet, they’re there all over my social media – block them on one, like clockwork they will show up on the next one in “due” course … Ugh.

And therefore, what I keep saying about “firing” or cutting people out of your life ruthlessly. Yes, former paying clients as well.

Bottom line is this -if a relationship is not serving either party, then there is no point in keeping it going. Period. That applies to any sort of relationship.

Bottom line also is this – folks find a way to get that which it is they truly WANT regardless of other facts or so called tough times etc. That is just how humans are wired, my friend, including YOU.

Don’t believe me?

Do your research. Facts show sales of alcohol, tobacco, movie theater tickets etc actually INCREASE during hard times though you wouldn’t expect that. Explain that to me while whining about your tough times over your $4 cup of fancy coffee , please…

It’s fine if you want to take the easy way out that leads nowhere but at least be honest about it?

And it’s people not being completely flat out honest, not saying what’s really on their minds is what’s pissing me off.

Two of my biggest (prior) supporters are on that list. There are a few more I’m not entirely sure what to do with, but as we get the site back up – all I can request is this – please leave the email list if you never have any intention of purchasing anything (and if you’re constantly wanting me to bend over backwards for you in terms of discounts etc). No hard feelings. Really. Staying here in that case will not serve either you or us…

Just be honest and tell me. What I simply cannot stand is “no response” “just to not ruin the relationship” ….

We work extremely hard to give you the very best experience here which is why despite being blocked etc, you make every effort to show back up – or you simply wouldn’t. Period.

And it saddens and sickens me no end to see that not respected in the slightest and I’ve had enough of it. As a friend loved to say, “I done got the red ass with it all”. No pun! Haha.

And that’s pretty much all I got to say about that.

Onward.

Best
