Sure, they can &#8220;snitch&#8221; Sally as a client by soliciting her and offering to do what I do and charge less for it, but Sammy will take her place the moment she&#8217;s gone, so no one loses anything. Anyone can say they do what I do, that doesn&#8217;t mean they can do it. And if the client is happier with what they get from someone else, that&#8217;s a vibrational match so I can only rejoice. <\/span><\/span>It reminds me years ago a reader told me they&#8217;d called a local magazine inquiring about regional magazine franchises for sale.\u00a0 The franchise liaison guy told her she could &#8220;<em>blow Horizons Magazine out of the water<\/em>&#8221; if she bought their franchise in a particular area. WTF? We aren&#8217;t even the same kind of publication. There really is no competition once you know who you are and what you&#8217;re capable of.
