Then after a few years of that, just stop sending him the check. He\u2019ll be livid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve come to realize that there is a lot of truth in this statement. I see it playing out in my own family. We\u2019ve had a good stretch of abundance, and my family members have come to expect things to just flow. \u201cMom will figure it out. Mom will give me the money for that.\u201d But, lately, I\u2019ve had to be a bit smarter with my money. Some people become very upset when Mom has to say \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/marniepehrson.com\/unplugged\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/plowplant.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/marniepehrson.com\/unplugged\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/plowplant.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Plow and plant\" width=\"154\" height=\"192\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-903\" \/><\/a>At times I let this get to me, start doubting myself and my choices, But, then I remember you can\u2019t plow under a garden and expect green beans to grow tomorrow. I\u2019ve taken a major rebranding leap in my business, letting my flagship site (IdeaMarketers) go because it was doing more damage than it was good. Some people don\u2019t really understand why this was necessary. But, I did what I felt was right. Google was penalizing people with articles on the site, and I couldn\u2019t in good conscious keep promoting something that could harm people. I took it as a sign that the time was right to follow my own passion and message and created <a href=\"http:\/\/www.IgnitePoint.com\" title=\"become a successful entrepreneur\" target=\"_blank\">IgnitePoint.com<\/a> as a way to do that.<\/p>\n<p>Some people who had articles on IdeaMarketers write me, very angry or hurt. They believe I\u2019ve done them a great wrong by closing the site. Funny, the ones who gripe are never the ones who contributed monetarily to the site. The ones who complain are the ones who got a service free for over a decade. Now, that I\u2019ve had to shut the site down, they believe I\u2019ve done them a great wrong. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m learning a big lesson in life. <strong>You cannot invest in someone else if they will not invest in themselves.<\/strong> In fact, the more I do for free for people, the less likely they are to do the work, and the less likely they are to reap results. <strong>People only value what they pay for.<\/strong> When you enable people, you end up with those who do not respect you, who use you, and who blame you when you can\u2019t deliver the free goods anymore.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/marniepehrson.com\/unplugged\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/beaninvestment.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/marniepehrson.com\/unplugged\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/beaninvestment-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Life rewards those who invest in themselves\" title=\"Life rewards those who invest in themselves\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-912\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marniekuhns.com\/unplugged\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/beaninvestment-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marniekuhns.com\/unplugged\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/beaninvestment-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/marniekuhns.com\/unplugged\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/beaninvestment.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>For any success in life, there is a sacrifice required. There are dues that must be paid. You can&#8217;t grow a plant full of green beans unless you sacrifice a bean to the ground. <strong>I\u2019m learning that I can\u2019t pay other people\u2019s dues for them. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t keep giving things away for free thinking that I\u2019m doing some great service to the world. I\u2019m not. I\u2019m actually performing a disservice because I\u2019m making folks believe that they\u2019ll magically be successful without any effort on their part. People must sacrifice for their own dreams. If a person isn\u2019t willing to invest in their success, they will never reap it. That investment might look like money, time, energy, or resources. But <strong>the investment must be made by the person who wants the reward. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once an investment is made, then other people can invest in you, but not until you\u2019re willing to invest in yourself.<\/p>\n<p>This principle has been driven home for me lately by witnessing those in my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.IgniteYourWOW.com\" title=\"Ignite Your WOW Mentoring Program\" target=\"_blank\">mentoring programs<\/a> (that I started offering at the end of last year). The people who pay to be in them get far better results than any of the people I gave my services away to for free over the years.  I thought that since I had a good flow of money coming in from my flagship site that I should use my spare time to help people with their businesses and not make them pay \u2013 that it was my way of giving back. But it didn\u2019t work. I believed in them more than they believed in themselves. Had they invested in their own businesses, they would be much farther along now. <\/p>\n<p>People who are investing in my programs are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.CreateAWOW.com\" title=\"get your book done\" target=\"_blank\">getting books done<\/a>. They\u2019re stepping into their messages more fully; they\u2019re forming joint ventures and improving their bottom lines. Had I offered these mentoring programs for free, I guarantee you there would be no such results. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Lesson learned: From now on I won\u2019t be investing in anyone who doesn\u2019t invest in themselves first.<\/strong> It&#8217;s for their highest good and mine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My dad has said on more than one occasion, \u201cIf you want to make an enemy, send someone a check for $50 every month for no reason.
