That inner voice was ringing in
my ear like the bells on a
church tower.

I tried to ignore it, but I
couldn’t.

I knew better, but what if...

Things turned out ok and she
was just a harmless 👵 older
lady..

But then again, there have been
elderly serial 🔪 killers..

I was literally tormenting
myself - over what?

You see, I was in 🤕 pain and the
ONLY relief that seemed
plausible was her.

If you’ve ever been in pain,
then you know what it feels
like to finally find what you
think is the solution.

Hallelujah!🙏

Well, the first of many
"problems" was that she was 80
miles away from me. 

For most people, that would’ve
been a game-over.

For me, it’s just another
hurdle I have to get over.

I’ve had many hurdles in life,
so what’s one more?!🙄

It all started with a listing
on Yelp.

I had a problem that I needed
solving and her listing leaped
out at me like a 🐸frog jumping
out of a pot of boiling water.

Finally!

Here’s the "funny" part...

She was sharing the office with
another business - according to
Yelp, but when I spoke to her
to make the appointment,
something seemed off.🤔

She said she would text me the
address...

Hmm, I thought it would be the
one listed on Yelp.

When I finally got her text -
days later, there was something
weird about it.

It had an apartment number...😲

I did what anyone would do - I
Googled her address and sure
enough it was a residence, not
a business.

Why would a professional, a
woman no less, invite a total
stranger to their residence?

Why would a sane person (that’s
me) go to a stranger’s
residence to begin with?

I would advise anyone to not do
what I was about to do (and
did).

I had scary thoughts of death
and dismemberment.

Every single day before that
appointment, I let it bother
me...

Until, I came to the conclusion
that she was working from home
to avoid renting out an office
space.

I’m sure you can understand
wanting to save money.

In fact, I would say one of the
biggest mistakes marketers make
is in fact spending too much
money on their business.

I should say spending too much
money on the wrong things.

I’ll elaborate later...

I went on a 🥾hike by myself for
the first time this morning and
I’m still in disbelief that I
did it!😁

Enjoy the rest of your day!
