Gratitude Vs Owing Your Customers

I am GRATEFUL
to my readers
(customers)
for helping me
become a success
in the Romance Novel Business.

I don’t OWE them
anything.

I don’t have to
stay in business tomorrow.
I don’t have to
offer a next story in a series
(a new product).
I don’t have to
believe what they believe
and do what they say.

I might choose
to do this
but I don’t HAVE to do this.

When you become successful,
it doesn’t matter
what industry you’re in
– writing, football, banking –
customers will say
you owe them something.

You don’t.

In fact,
if you try to ‘repay’
all of the things customers
believe you ‘owe’ them,
you’ll end up losing money
and going out of business.

Run your business
YOUR way.
You don’t owe anyone sh*t.
