This post linked below was shared by the author on Facebook. In it he narrates several examples of attempts that clients and prospects have repeatedly made to try taking advantage of him as a service provider working online/remotely.
Even though what I do as a Digital Nomad/Location Independent Multipreneur is different from what the author does, I can relate quite readily to his experiences. Click here to read the story.
Why?
Because I have undergone similar ones in the past.
I developed a system that solved this problem for me years ago, and it has helped me screen out “time wasters” like those the expert describes, while simultaneously attracting ready-to-buy prequalified prospects to me.
As a result I rarely ever find myself having such experiences today.
Smart and competent experts need to put in place a system that PROTECTS THEM FROM POSSIBLE EXPLOITATION.
