Yes, I always either offer a discount or I will say I will do the same rate and I'll give you extra time.

Hey Guys‼️ I just wanted to give you an update on the situation. Remember, I said earlier to someone, or I might have just said it in a comment, I'm sure he will reach right back out... Well, he unblocked me and below is the attachment of what he said. I only called him one time, and I left a voicemail, but this was before he blocked me, and he received what I said, but now he's saying this. I'm ok, I'm not going to respond to him. It's not worth it to me.

I would say you can put out there what you like and what you feel comfortable with, no more than that.... Some of my clients are very personable and tell me everything, and some of my clients are very private and tell me nothing. I tend to keep things private, and there's nothing wrong with that 🙃 My regular clients are like friends to me, and that's always a nice thing 😁

Thank you.. You are very kind to say that. You arer right as others have said the same....I wasted too much time" trying" , but when you're self- employed, you know, you've really got to work every angle with your bread and butter you know? Sorta Speak. Exactly my point to him... If I wanted nothing to do with him or I didn't want the appointment, I would never have offered to reschedule or the discount. 🙃

Yeah, my intention was definitely not to cancel, but the congestion that I was dealing with this cold, had other plans. So as I stated, I reached out to the client and he threw a fit... It's one of those times where you say "damned if I do damned if I don't. " 😮

Thank you. Live and Learn... But I came on here to just see what people's opinions were about the situation, and I thank you all , not that you were on my side, but you actually understood where I was coming from in relation to being sick and in relation to knowing what his health matters are and looking out for him. I don't want to take someone's money if I cannot do the job 110 %. And I totally empathize and understand how disappointed he was. But there was no need for the attack on his end. I'm pretty sure other guys would have probably told him off, but I did not do that. That would just make matters worse and wouldn't solve anything. .

Thanks. I did try to talk him down "off the ledge," so to speak, but he just wasn't hearing it, and there just comes a time where you just have to throw your hands up and say I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I was sick. I'm sorry that I disappointed you. 🙃 One thing that I think a lot of people don't understand, and this has happened to me too, or a clients cancelled me at a moment's notice that it can't happen on the other side too. Things in life just happen..

Thank you.. However, don't let these other guys ruin it for you, because there are good ones out there, like me, that care. You just never know what's going on in someone's life, they could have had some emergency or something you just don't know ....things do happen in life. But I also know in this business, there's a lot of fakes and flakes. When I have to cancel or reschedule, I have to have an absolutely good reason that's just my policy for myself. 😁 Even when someone inquires, if I'm not available, the first thing I ask if you have any other availability. Dont give up!

Thank you.. Well, believe it or not, I am human, I make mistakes. I'm not perfect, I set out to be 110% on board with my craft and what I do. But, there has to be room for error right? I honestly think I couldn't do anything the right way with this client, it doesn't matter what I would say, and you're right, one small thing could go wrong, not his way during a session, and he would blame me, or just be very upset. I truly understand when people get upset and disappointed when you have to cancel or you have to reschedule it's happened to me too by the client.... So I get it, but I don't get so upset and make it so horrible for the other party to feel horrible.

Yes, agreed 110%

Yes, I totally agree, but I still have a feeling he's going to text me again in the future in the very near future.

Well, you did do the right thing, there are times were clients cancelled and they don't pay anything, and I don't expect them to, I guess the real serious ones will. I hope you're feeling better 😁

No, it was several months ago, but the key thing is, he said the same thing to me when I had to cancel, he made it all about how all the guys are all like because of his looks and that he's old and his health. I tried my very best to talk with him via text I even called and left a voicemail, but he still went on and on. 🥺

Thank you😁 It's good to know there are other people that think like me.

Thank you, I am in total agreement with you... I'm sure as heck not looking for pity, I'm just looking for confirmation that I did do the right thing, I'm sure someone would say you should have just went through with the appointment and got him sick. That's not the key here. 🙃

I agree.. And this client has showed me who he was because last time I had to cancel on him again because I had a bad cold and I normally don't get sick, but this winter has been not fun. He did the same routine. 2 weeks later, he comes back when he's schedule again.. As I said, I'm genuine and real, I don't care what you look like, I don't care how much you weigh, I'm here to do the work and help relax you, your mind and your body. Thank you for your input and I'm sorry that you had the experience as well. Unfortunately, it's a lot of other gentlemen, guys before us have created such a negative experience for them in their eyes and in their minds, and they hold onto that, and one little small red flag like a cancellation or reschedule they go off, they think it's happening all over again. And.... Even when you try to explain, it's like that they don't want to hear it. At that point, there's nothing more you can do 🙃

Well of course, I did do that, but I told him in a very professional way. If you're sick to the point where it's not good, then you should not be working, but unfortunately, in today's society, everyone goes to work when they're sick and passes it along to anyone and everyone.

I just clearly do not understand why he went off on me other than the fact that other guys have done this to him and maybe the other guys weren't honest. I read all about how people have been scammed, and I don't understand why people are in business, sometimes they don't show up for an appointment, I'm talking about the therapist or sometimes they're not where they're supposed to be, how are they supposed to make a financial living? So unfortunately, I get the brunt of everyone's past, the mistakes that happened to them, so they think I'm gonna be just like the others. But I'm not.

Thank you so much. I appreciate that.

Hey Guys! I wanted to reach out.... I'm a therapist and a damn good one, some even say I'm exceptional, I just say I'm genuine & skilled... This past week I have been sick with a horrible cold, I normally don't get sick that's the truth. However, it got me, and I'm still trying to get over it, but now it's all congestion in my nose. So yes severe sniffles. It is not Covid. But... I could still pass it on. I had the chills, I had a sore throat, a little bit of a cough, and now a lot of congestion, not to mention sneezing. So the last couple days, I've had to cancel or reschedule my clients because I had the forethought in my mind. "I don't want to pass this around.... I want to do the right thing." The majority of my clients totally understood and had no problem rescheduling for the following week. There was 1 client that wasnt so receptive. I was met with a message from him... "It's ok Luke, I'm used to it, you guys are all alike, my age, my looks, you flake out on me." I, of course, went on to text him a little bit more, explaining the situation, then I also called and left a voicemail so he could hear my voice and hear the congestion. I did cancel on him once before because of a reason, and I believe it was because I had a cold, and it's because it's winter.... Being in this business when you're sick, you can't afford to have someone on your table and pass it along. I have had several people come here with the sniffles, and then they say, I have a sore throat, but I'm ok, I'm ok, then I'm wondering, why are you even here? Anyways, the point of this is, did I do the right thing or should I just accepted the client tomorrow with me being sick with the chances of him getting it? He told me his health issues, and that's what my big concern was, his immunity is a lot lower than mine. So he said, he has blocked me, and that's fine, I gave him a discount I went above and beyond, but still anything I would say, he thought it was all about him, and because he was old, or he doesn't look very good, or he's unhealthy that I am flaking on him, and I'm not clearly I'm not. Those were his words. I always say and I quote myself " I always try to do the right thing, but then I always end up getting shit on " He made me feel so horrible that I'm sick, not that I'm not already feeling horrible. So what do you guys think? Thank you. Note: We are human, we get sick, things come up, that's why you cancel or you have to reschedule. I truly don't see the problem because whenever I have to cancel or reschedule, I always give at least a 2 hour window, at least, unless something is unavoidable that comes up...

Yes, sometimes people just don't take the hint. I do the same thing. I like to reach out to clients that I've seen before. It's just good business, but if they don't answer, or they tell me they're not interested, I just drop them off , because I don't want to be a pest. You definitely don't want to upset the potential client 😁 I also reach out to those that inquired, but haven't scheduled yet, but they do have an interest it's called the "hot list", but I do the same thing as the above 👍

Of course, I would respond if it needs a response to ..... Who are you going to believe? ME? , the person that says it's not me or someone that is just stating that it looks like me, but has absolutely no proof, never met me, it's an easy decision to make. I have had people use my pictures in the past, that is true, but I am not affiliated with that site. Furthermore, if you are trying to help me and you're looking out for me, why do you go on the attack that is exactly what you did when I denied what you were saying, you immediate flipped out on me. Again, this site loves to allow people to assert the wrong assumptions and slander and pick people apart based off of looks, not their work. Also, one more thing if this guy was trying to be supportive and look out for me, and I answered his questions and said that "it was not me," he still will not let it go.

I clearly told you it was NOT me, but thanked you for the alert.

I have never met this gentleman, he stated that as well. I'm not really sure why my name is mixed in with this. I have no affiliation with said name in this gentleman's post. However he did text me, and I clearly stated it's not me. He called me paranoid because I asked if he posted this post, he admitted he did. Then he went on to tell me that he knows I'm not an escort and that I graduated to being a whore. He said he was just looking out for me, but then he talks to me in that manner? Paranoid? Perhaps, especially when I'm associated with something that I am not even involved with who wouldn't be? Then he brought up that I post that I'm always coming to a city, but I never show up, that is definitely a not accurate. There are times I plan to travel to a city, but then, for instance, something happens, and I'm unfortunately, not able to make it, but I always let those people who scheduled with me know in advance. Life happens. I also know that there are people that do these posts that try to get the best of you, and I'm not going to allow that to happen. I'm going to remain as professional, as I always am. Thanks.

Whoa‼️ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
