Some clients don’t want your help.
They say they do. They come to you for advice and listen to your good suggestions on solving a problem they complain about.
And then they do nothing.
No matter how easy, fast, cheap or effective the solutions you propose might be, some people can’t be convinced to go for it.
They’re comfortable with their problems.
They’re used to their misery.
Better the devil they know, after all.
Change?
Well now. That’s just crazy talk.
It’s much easier for many people to stay stuck sighing about their issues and hesitating on change.
- “It’s just not the right time…
- I’m not sure if this would work…
- it sounds too risky right now… maybe I should just leave things as they are. It’s not so bad.”
Your time, expertise and experience are precious.
They’re worth sharing with those who are ready to put them to good use.
Those who aren’t?
Let ’em be.
You aren’t being cruel.
They’ll come to you… when they’re good and ready to change.
