Episode 2185

Our listener today is a financial advisor who specializes in helping clients tackle their debts and get their finances in order. It sounds like important work, and of course there’s a large market of people who need help with this. Just one problem: Julie doesn’t like charging for this work. What can be done?
"In my side business, I help people tackle their debt and get creditors to stop hassling them. This isn't usually that hard, but when someone's overwhelmed they don't know what to do. I'm able to make a real difference in someone's financial situation, so it's obvious this is valuable. At the same time, I struggle in asking them to pay. It just feels icky even though I’ve spent a good amount of time on the work. Is there some way to resolve this conflict? I've thought about asking them to pay later, like after they've fully gotten out of debt, but that might be a while. What do you think? "
