Ndubuisi Egwim paid £200 for an 18-minute consultation with a publishing expert while preparing his book, The Money Wise Doctor. He saw it as buying years of experience to skip months of research and avoid costly mistakes.
So I recently paid someone just over 200 pounds to talk to them for less than 20 minutes. Why would I do a thing like that? I mean, most average Doctors in the UK don't even end up to £200 an hour. Well, there was a reason. Not because I had money to spare or I didn't know the value of my money, but this guy is an expert in publishing and I'm about to publish a book, the Money Wise Doctor. My book, which I've been writing about financial insights for doctors and healthcare professionals in the uk. I knew he had the experience, I knew he had the expertise. Of course, I could have decided to not pay the money, not speak to him. And by the way, I paid for an hour. The £200 was basically to speak to him for an hour. But at about 18 minutes, I got what I needed. I got the insight that I needed that would actually save me hours and hours of my own research and time. So I didn't pay him because I couldn't just spend some time on YouTube and figure it out or, you know. But basically I'm buying his years of experience and buying his insights. I'm also saving myself time. Why? Because if you want to get to a destination and you know someone has gone there multiple times, basically getting the map or direction from them can help you to move faster and that saves you a lot of time. You avoid making wrong turns and you avoid making mistakes.
