Knock, knock, knock.

My heart did a double flip.

I don’t get visitors here, so who could that be?

At the door were two police officers and a young man I knew.

We’ll call him Shags because that was his nickname.

What the hell do they want?

Then came the request.

Not from the police, but from Shags.

“Can you lend me $75?”

“I’ll pay you back, but I need it to pay my fine, or I’ll be taken to jail right now.”

It didn’t occur to me that if he hadn’t been able to put the money together to pay his fine to avoid going to jail, the chances of me getting my money back were slim to none when the pressure of a negative outcome had been reduced.

Have you ever been put in one of these situations?

It doesn’t matter what you do, you lose.

If I don’t pay his fine for him, he goes to jail, and his family will blame me.

Perhaps even take some retribution for my ‘failing to help him out’.

He may have a grudge after he is released and seek retribution.

If I do pay his fine, I’ll lose the $75.

Being a soft touch then, I paid his fine and kept him out of jail.

No, I was never paid back.

His family didn’t shower me with love and affection.

Did I do him a favour?

I’m not sure, but I doubt it.

I haven’t had anything to do with him or his family in a very long time, but I doubt he has developed into a fine, upstanding human being.

What did I get from that?

This email.

The thing about money is that you can always get more of it.

The thing about relationships with others is that you can always develop new ones.

One thing you can never do is change what you did in the past, but you can change your future by what you do today.

Small decisions today are the stepping stones to your brighter future.

Every decision has a consequence.

You get to choose some of those consequences every time.

Others will only become apparent later.

P.S.  The first step towards your brighter, more financially secure future is figuring out how to encourage people to buy through your link or your product.

To do that, you’ll need to find one pain point for which you can provide one solution.

Do that, and people will not need to be sold with a snazzy sales page.

They’ll pay whatever it takes to make the pain go away.

Drug dealers know that and use it.

Shiny Object sellers know that and use it.

Medical professionals know that and use it.

Politicians know that and use it.

There are more, but you get the point.

The difference between them and you is that you know that your solution stops the pain.

Most of the others don’t want the pain to stop because that stops their income.

But when you stop the pain in one area, you can always find more pain points for which to find solutions.
