Wasting money?

Many of my blog titles and subjects come from the conversations I have, or I loosely relate them to a personal experience I've had with a client or friend... I try to be non specific but those, they are about always know when they see themselves in my writing (yes it is a test to see how often they read my blog)  Today I met an individual with a tiny brain, some might have called him small minded, he accused me of being a waste of money, or as he put it, "just money for old rope", my blood is ever so slightly on the boil!!  I know he won't read this, I doubt he could but it'll make me feel ever so slightly better... so if you'll indulge me.  This is why I am worth my price.

It is easy to fill a wardrobe with clothes but the problem with that is people are creatures of habit.  They go to the same section and wear the same pieces in the same way without deviation, either because they know it works or they have decided that, that is the only option.  It is natural for people to think in a linear fashion, I bought that to go with that, I wear that in a certain situation, etc - end of story.  Except I see it as my job to give those pieces a new story, a more varied story - with sub text and maybe even a plot twist.  I don't know the restrictions that you as an individual may have enforced so I can offer up an honest opinion, therefore increasing the worth of the individual pieces and minimising the waste that may already be occurring.  I ask the questions you haven't considered and shine a light on the blind spots, I remove the question marks you might have and illustrate how you can achieve better and more interesting results with the same products.  It's not about buying a new wardrobe but falling in love, again, with the one you already have.  Invariably people are attracted to a particular colour palette, which means the outfit combinations can be unlimited.

The second reason I know I am worth the money is because I am honest, I trade on my reputation and if I don't think I am offering anything to a person I will be the first to say.  I don't want to waste my time any more than I want to take your money for nothing.  My business is building on referrals, so I must be doing something right.

Sorry about this, not my usual but I was really annoyed, the good news is I don't think he'll be ringing me for an appointment any time soon.  So I get to focus on my lovely clients instead which is where I'm off to now.  Changing the world one well tied scarf at a time. xx
