I finally stopped saying yes to every "I'll pay you exposure" pitch
It hit me after mathing out three of those offers and realizing I had given away about $850 worth of work for zero actual paying leads, so now I just say "no thanks send cash" and move on, has anyone else had a specific number finally make you snap?
Yeah the $850 was definitely the moment it all clicked. Hard to ignore that number when you add it up month after month. I had a similar thing happen with a gym membership I never used. $50 a month felt like nothing until I realized I'd paid $600 over a year for zero workouts. Makes you wonder how many other little charges are eating your money without you noticing.
