Often it seems that, in our minds, we’ve equated helping people with giving things for free. And at the same time, we believe that making money is somehow a bad thing. But in the end, we’re running a business, and the purpose of a business is to make money. In this episode, I explain how we can think differently about the action of helping people with our editing services.
