Stop doing things for free - Daily Stories 10.11.2018.

Hello you beautiful soul! 🦄💙🙏🏻🌏

If you’re good at something, stop doing things for free.
Like this for example:

Yes, of course, I can do it.. why do you ask?

I mean comeee on, seriously?

Isn’t it funny how always when someone else needs to do something for us, we say: come on you will do it in 5 minutes.. whereas when we hear someone tell us the same thing, things are a little different. Right?

Respect other people’s time and work, as you would like that others respect your work and skills. Practice treating each other as you would want to be treated by other people

You don’t pay for 5 minutes of their work, you pay for years of their education, schooling, courses, knowledge, trainings, skills, experiences that made them able to complete the job in 5 minutes. So.. respect someone’s 5 minutes!

Remember this:

No no, it’s far from the fact that you shouldn’t do things for free, so I do my daily stories and blog for free! Not because I don’t value what I do, but because my intention is to help.

Then, I know that I can turn all that into courses, packages, etc. and charge for my knowledge and everything that I give for free, BUT I know that many people who need help don’t have money. That’s why I leave the option of donation, whoever want and can give. That’s how it is for now.

And I think that today people make a business out of everything, with the intention of making money and not that their goal is the quality of what they sell. Mostly people hide behind the word ‘help’ and the only thing they think is to sell you services or goods, not whether you really need it. BS.

And.. No, it’s not help if you charge, but business.

The point of this text is to LEARN TO APPRECIATE YOURSELF AND WHAT YOU GIVE. Then, NOT TO EXPECT YOURSELF IN OTHERS. Next, KNOW WHY YOU CHARGE FOR SOMETHING OR GIVE IT FOR FREE. And to KNOW YOUR LIMITS.

Because, the ‘strange’ thing is that other people think you should always do things for free once you have done something for them.

If you keep doing it, they will get used to it, and usually take it and you for granted.

We teach others how to treat us by what we allow and stop. This can be tricky, at least in my case. I always thought that it would be respected, the same way I showed respect. They would know their limits like I do. But that was my ‘mistake’, mostly because we usually think that others think the same way we do.

Once you set your limits and learn how to say ‘No’, oh boy, people’s reactions can, let’s say, be amusing to observe. Even if I explain how I feel. They don’t hear it, they just hear that NO. Like, how the fxck dare you say ‘No’ to me?

Don’t let their anger scare you, rather strive to understand everything I said above and ask yourself a couple of questions, and answer them as well. Something like, do I need this in my life etc.? Why this happened if I didn’t do anything wrong?

No is a complete sentence.

Simply because: Those who want respect, they give respect!
