But many act this way (𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩).


Many attorneys ask me for referrals to other experts

❌𝙉𝙊𝙏 my response: Pay me a finder's fee
✅My response: Here are 3 experts and their emails


Many experts who are starting out as me for advice

❌𝙉𝙊𝙏 my response: Pay me for 15 minutes of my time
✅My response: Here is my number, let's chat


Many LNCs message me to explain anesthesia topics

❌𝙉𝙊𝙏 my response: Pay me via Stripe invoice
✅My response: Here is the explanation to XYZ

• Provide added value
