Excerpted from Dr Charles W Martin “The Stupid Tax”
I have paid this tax more than once in my life…many times….in cash, worry & other.

Stupid Tax = the money, time, energy or effort you paid or lost needlessly.
The stupid tax is an error that costs you that didn’t have to.
The tax is paid when one keeps doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
The tax is levied against one when one fails to act when one knows one SHOULD.
The tax is levied against one 2 or 3 times when one fails to act when knows one MUST.
The tax is levied against one when one fails to “DO what you know”.
The tax is extracted from one’s bank account when one tries to go it alone when one is not an expert in a field when one needs an expert. <(Think “I could hire Coach Bill”)
This “unnecessary fee” is paid when one fails to implement what works after being shown or told.
The tax comes due when one tries to go cheap when one shouldn’t.
The tax gets paid when patience is required and impatience reigns.
The tax is paid when one doesn’t nurture one’s leads and doesn’t continuously communicate with both leads and existing customers. < (Think hire Coach Bill)

The stupid tax is life’s painful way of teaching us lessons – hopefully just once instead of several times over.
Do you know someone who is paying one now? Maybe someone you know intimately? You CAN help them – even if it’s just by showing them what we have and introducing them to your coach.
