I hadn't sat down and thought about it either, until...

I found out about my client's expansion.

My thoughts were alreday headed in the direction I've taken. Her results where the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak.

Having made that tentative decision my mind then needed to find evidence to justify the action - as it always does with all decisions we make, which is why it's easier to up-sell after the decision to buy has been made then it is to sell the whole thing in the first instance (little decisions lead to bigger decisions as our mind backs up the decisions we make - decide on emotion back it up with logic).

What my mind presented to me, by way of back up, was the evidence of what works online has first worked offline. With plenty of examples to prove it.

And to further cement the decision, I announced it publicly.

As I don't announce every little thing publicly - my announcement carries a lot of weight.
