People who first visit my web site on intuition and my Empath Community often ask me why I offer so much "free stuff". They can't believe how much information, programs and communities are available.
The only reason I charge a fee for some of my online programs is because it costs me money to host them and I spend time writing the code for my web site. In fact, I have spent over 1200 hours over the last 3 years of my own time on the Abundance Program alone. There is a HUGE amount of programming behind all those nifty features and I do it all myself.
I also charge a fee for personal intuitive counseling session but I am only charging for my time, the healing that takes place during these sessions is free since it comes through me, not from me.
No matter how you add these numbers, it's pretty obvious that I am not making money from this work. In fact, I tend to break even between my operating costs (about $300) and my income from my online programs and the few counseling sessions I can fit in my schedule.
No wonder some people ask me "What's the catch???"
And yet, there is no catch. I offer thousands of hours of work for free because this is the most fulfilling activity for me. There is nothing I enjoy most than getting an email from someone saying: "Wow, this is really working for me!"
But everyone's gotta pay the mortgage...So how does this work out? Quite simply, I have more than one job! I work on short term contracts as a software engineer. Which means I set my own hours, allowing for time for my Intuitive Counseling appointments.
What are the advantages of this setup?
In one word, Free-dom.
Anything that I can put on my web site (which doesn't require my time beyond the initial setup), I am offering for free or for less than the cost of a book.In love,
