Are free trials, free consultations, or “just a few hours” of free work really helping you grow your business? Or are they actually KILLING your profit, authority, and sanity?

In this eye-opening episode of SoTellUs Time, Trevor exposes the hidden dangers of giving away too much for free — and how this nice guy strategy is keeping you broke, burned out, and begging for better clients. 😤

If you’re a business owner, entrepreneur, consultant, or coach, and you’ve ever felt pressured to offer more just to close the sale, this is your wake-up call.
