Time Vampires
Good lord!
I am so frustrated that I had to write this blog post.
I answered my phone today because I *thought* I recognized the name on caller ID. Apparently, I was wrong.
This dipshit traced down my phone number after reading my last blog post because he wanted to 'pick my brain'.
Hello Dick Tracy, I DON'T PUBLISH MY PHONE NUMBER ON THIS BLOG BECAUSE I DON'T WANT SHITWADS LIKE YOU CALLING ME OUT OF THE BLUE!!!!
This guy was a vampire, and just like vampires in the movies, they should be avoided at all costs.
I think I will begin walking around with a cross or garlic, or a baseball bat.
Ok, here's Woody's lesson of the day for those too stupid to pick up on it…
There are people who want shit from you but have no value to add to your life. Avoid them at all costs UNLESS you want to be a slave to them… and you will be if you let them bombard you with free advice questions all day.

James referred me to your blog.
It's interesting, so I decided to start from the beginning and skim through your posts.
This one really resonates with me. I can't stand people contacting me and asking questions expecting to get free advice. (ESPECIALLY when their question is covered in one of my products and they KNOW that)
Every so often, someone replies to one of my free newsletters with a question, then yells/swears/throws a fit and calls me a scammer/liar/whatever for not helping them.
It's bullshit. I have no obligation to spend my time giving personal consultations to people. I'm already giving them free advice in a free newsletter for christ sake.
I even say that at the end of every newsletter now. I say please send me your questions so I can answer them in a future newsletter, but do NOT expect a personalized reply.
